This development was really unexpected. Even He Lie’s expressionless face couldn’t hide his shock as he narrowed his eyes.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible,” Gu Xiao muttered excitedly, as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart. “I clearly heard the cry. Many servants also heard the cry of a baby at night.”

“Commander He, we have to look for them again. The Yu family must be hiding.”

“Maybe… Maybe there’s a secret room in the secret room!”

The more Gu Xiao spoke, the more anxious he became, afraid that He Lie wouldn’t believe him.

He snatched an oil lamp from an Embroidered Uniform Guard, bowed, and entered the secret room. He quickly stepped down the stone steps.

He Lie didn’t stop Gu Xiao. He returned to his expressionless appearance and asked Gu Yuan without revealing his emotions, “Do you want to go down and take a look, Battalion Commander Gu?”

Gu Yuan had never heard his grandfather and father mention this secret room before. He nodded and agreed. “Okay.”

He Lie raised his hand and gestured. The Embroidered Uniform Guards, who had drawn their sabers, awkwardly put them back into their sheaths.

The killing intent in the air completely disappeared, and even the spring breeze became warm.

Gu Yuan and He Lie entered the narrow door one after another. They were both tall and bent their backs when they went down the stone steps.

After walking more than 20 steps, they landed on a stone floor.

This secret room was only two rooms wide. The air was filled with the cold, moldy smell of the secret room, making people feel uncomfortable.

There were only two oil lamps lit here. The lights swayed, and the light was dim.

There were some cabinets, bookshelves, and camphor boxes on the four walls. They were all opened, revealing everything inside.

There was indeed no one hiding here.

Gu Yuan slowly looked around, and his gaze landed on a long saber with a Qilin-patterned bronze sheath hanging on the wall.

His father was good with a sword, and his grandfather was good with a knife.

Gu Yuan remembered that his father had said that his grandfather had a treasure saber called “Qilin”.

Therefore, this secret room used to belong to his grandfather.

A middle-aged man with a blurry voice appeared in Gu Yuan’s mind. His grandfather, Gu Xuan, was only in his early 40s when he died, but his hair was already half white.

At that time, he was still very young and didn’t remember much about his grandfather. He only vaguely remembered that his grandfather was very loving to him and even personally taught him how to hold a pen and write.

Gu Yuan slowly walked to the bookshelf and casually picked a book from one of the bookshelves. On the blue cover was the Yin Talisman Scripture.

He casually picked up another book. This was the Daoist Canon.

These books were clearly very old and hadn’t been exposed for a long time. The pages were more or less moth-eaten and moldy.

Gu Yuan quickly flipped through a few pages, and his grandfather’s familiar handwriting came into view.

He had seen some calligraphy, handwritten notes, and so on left behind by his grandfather in the residence, so he recognized his grandfather’s handwriting.

In other words, the Daoist books on the three rows of bookshelves were all collected by his grandfather.

Thud! Thud!

Gu Yuan’s heart beat faster as he thought of his grandfather’s memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. His sister had said that there was a trace of their biological grandmother’s soul in the memorial tablet. When his grandfather was alive, he played until he was exhausted so that his grandmother could have this chance of survival.

Gu Yuan’s eyes were slightly dry. It was as if a breeze had brushed past his heart, causing circles of ripples.

“Where is he…” Gu Xiao pushed open a cupboard roughly and muttered to himself in disbelief, “Where is he hiding!”

A cold wind suddenly blew from the entrance of the secret room, causing the lights in the oil lamp to sway crazily. The lights were almost extinguished.

At that time, the bright and dim lights cast a strange shadow on Gu Xiao’s face, making his face look abnormally ferocious and strange.

He couldn’t help but walk around the secret room again. One moment, he was hitting the wall, and the next, he was looking at the cabinets and boxes to see if there were any compartments. However, he still found nothing.

Gu Xiao was about to go crazy. He broke out in a cold sweat and panted heavily.

“Have you seen enough?” He Lie didn’t have the patience to wait for Gu Xiao. He questioned coldly, “Gu Xiao, where are the mistress and baby you mentioned?”

Gu Xiao:”…”

Ni Zongqi slowly stroked his beard and sneered coldly. “Gu Xiao, are you daydreaming?”

Gu Xiao’s mouth opened and closed. He wanted to say that he wasn’t lying and wasn’t daydreaming, but saying this now wasn’t convincing at all.

He didn’t give up. He searched the wall of the secret room for the umpteenth time and repeatedly knocked on the wall..
