They knew that since Xiaobei made such a solemn promise, he wouldn’t lie to them.
So, they could finally feel a little relieved now...
Seeing their expressions soften, Xiaobei knew they were reassured.
With a gentle smile, Xiaobei chuckled, "Now you can relax, right? Since you’re relaxed now, don’t cry anymore! Crying will ruin your pretty faces."
"Hmph! We want to cry if we choose to!"
Despite saying that, they quickly grabbed tissues and wiped their tears...
Obviously worried about not looking pretty anymore!
Watching them hurriedly dry their tears, Xiaobei laughed.
Soon, Xiaobei, smiling contentedly, picked up half a tomato and started eating delightfully...
Seeing Xiaobei’s beaming face, they glared at him with frustration...
Soon, they started advising Xiaobei again, mostly about staying safe, and as usual, Xiaobei listened intently...
...
"Grandfather, is this the treasure map?"
The next morning, Xiaobei stood with Gu Dong.
This was his first time seeing this map filled with many details...
Feeling the ancient aura emanating from the map, Xiaobei couldn’t help but squint...
Xiaobei knew it had indeed existed for a very long time.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a profound sense of antiquity.
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s inquiry, Gu Dong, looking solemn, answered in a deep voice, "Yes, this is the treasure map our family has preserved for a long time. Previously, I found a box of Spirit Stones at the outermost layer of this treasure location!"
"I understand!"
Saying this, Xiaobei continued to carefully examine it.
Seeing this, Gu Dong did not interrupt...
Five minutes later, Xiaobei withdrew his gaze and spoke, "Grandfather, the treasure location doesn’t seem very close to The Valley of the Wicked!"
Glancing at Xiaobei, Gu Dong softly explained, "Yes, actually it’s because it’s far away that none of our ancestors ever discovered its position."
As he spoke, he remembered the past...
At that time, he was searching for herbs, so he had gone farther away...
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to find it...
"Hmm!"
Hearing Gu Dong’s explanation, Xiaobei nodded gently and then quickly asked, "Grandfather, when can we set off?"
With a light chuckle, Gu Dong smiled and said, "Once you’re ready, we can set off anytime!"
Thinking for a moment, Xiaobei immediately said, "In that case, let’s leave today. It’s better to act sooner rather than later."
"Hmm!"
Nodding lightly, Gu Dong began calling everyone in.
Soon, many people from the family gathered there, including Lin Ling’er and Gu Xinxin.
Seeing them appear, Gu Dong sighed silently once more.
Initially, he had refused their request to join the expedition.
But the refusal didn’t work, so Gu Dong had to concede...
Gu Dong knew that by letting Xiaobei take the lead in the treasure hunt, he was already hurting Xinxin, so he didn’t want to hurt her further.
Xiaobei was unaware of Gu Dong’s thoughts. After everyone gathered, he scanned them all and spoke in a low voice, "This treasure hunt might be dangerous. If anyone doesn’t want to go, you can step forward now."
Hearing this, no one moved...
Seeing everyone’s determination, Xiaobei’s lips curled into a faint smile.
Soon, Xiaobei said, "Since everyone is determined, let’s not waste time. Let’s set off now!"
"Alright!"
Everyone quickly agreed.
