"Guess what I discovered, Aunt?"
"A cave?"
"How boring! Can't you pretend you don't know?"
"I can't. Is there something big sealed inside?"
"Yes, and there's a Crystal Coffin."
"A Crystal Coffin?"
"Hehe, Aunt, didn't see that coming, did you? I only noticed it after coming in. There are eighty-one formations suppressing it, and I've never seen these formations before."
"Is it a man or a woman inside?"
"A man, and he's not as good-looking as me!"
Yan Kongyue nodded, a figure flashing through her mind.
"Aunt, that big guy is in a deep sleep. His aura fluctuates; sometimes it's strong and familiar, but I'm sure I've never seen him before."
"The mystery will be revealed soon. Don't rush; let me have a bite to eat first, and then we can get to work!"
"Make sure to eat more. The Bai Family and Lao Gui have plenty of things to take care of later."
"Got it. Just wait for my signal when I'm almost done eating. We can't let the Bai Family act first."
"Alright, I'll keep looking around to see if the old guy has anything good!"
"Pack everything you can! Yan Kongyue barely heard what was said on stage; as soon as the hot dishes arrived, she started eating with gusto."
The banquet was filled with people of status and importance; they weren't there just for the food. However, Yan Kongyue didn't care how others viewed her. Eating earnestly was the least respect she could show at the table. With her cheeks stuffed full, she looked both charming and adorable. Those sitting across from her were influenced by her enthusiasm and began to eat as well.
The Lin Family Patriarch noticed his granddaughter's appetite and personally served her dishes. Lin Lie quietly took note of which dishes she enjoyed the most.
As they ate, Yan Kongyue noticed the soup in her bowl rippling slightly. Suddenly, the bowls and plates on the table clinked together, and the table began to shake violently. The ground beneath them and the house itself started to tremble intensely.
Instantly, people in the banquet hall gasped in surprise; some ran outside while others shouted that there was an earthquake or called for help. But soon enough, everything returned to calm.
"Is it out?" Lin Qian looked at Yan Kongyue.
"Mom, this brat! I haven't finished eating yet!" Yan Kongyue exclaimed as she tossed her chopsticks after taking another piece of Dongpo Pork.
"Yan Kongyue, are we running?" Huo Jingyu asked, looking at the panicked crowd rushing outside, puzzled.
"We're not running; it's not a real earthquake."
In fact, the ones most flustered weren't the guests but the Bai Family. They had meticulously planned their performance and hadn't even had time to execute it. This sudden earthquake left them a bit at a loss; after all, this was their stronghold. If it were a real earthquake, their family would be ruined.
The head of the Bai Family was already terrified. He was confident in his abilities to deal with demons and monsters, but natural disasters were beyond his control.
"Ancestor, there's movement in the back mountain! It seems something is happening!"
Bai Yuan, who was just about to step on stage to cut the cake, widened his eyes in shock. That was the secret passed down through several generations of the Bai Family, a life-saving measure left by their ancestors for future descendants.
"Did someone break in?"
"No, no one. Since yesterday, we've increased the number of guards on duty as you instructed."
