I furrowed my brow, still tangled in my thoughts, when Gu Chen's gaze shifted back to He Si. He said calmly, "You should know that place."
"That place?"
At first, He Si frowned slightly, but upon seeing Gu Chen nod lightly, it seemed as if she suddenly understood. She nodded and replied, "I know."
Gu Chen's tone turned somewhat heavy as he said, "I think this matter is likely related to that place. Why don't you take a trip there and see what's going on?"
He Si pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I don't have anything else to do anyway. I'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Gu Chen nodded in agreement. "Be careful. Just find out if she has indeed been taken there. Once you have results, let me know, and I'll come over to handle it. With your skills, you shouldn't be in any danger."
He Si nodded. "Yes, I'll be careful."
The two of them exchanged words and had reached an agreement, while Zhou Zhen and I stood by, completely clueless about what they were discussing.
However, one thing was certain: whatever they were talking about was definitely related to Mu Yan.
I furrowed my brow again and turned my gaze toward Gu Chen and He Si, unable to help but ask, "What place are you talking about? Could Mu Yan have been taken there?"
Zhou Zhen also frowned slightly, looking at He Si and Gu Chen with a puzzled expression.
He Si glanced at us but remained silent. Gu Chen did not hide the truth either; he gently nodded and said, "It is indeed related to Mu Yan. But don’t worry; if she is really at that place, she should be safe. Let's just have Xiao Si check it out first."
I couldn't help but look at He Si, biting my lip slightly.
He Si seemed a bit exasperated as she said, "What? You don't trust my abilities?"
I shook my head and turned to Gu Chen, saying, "Master, are you really sure Mu Yan is in the place you mentioned?"
"Yes, it should be," Gu Chen replied lightly with a nod.
However, his answer did not ease my mind. I asked again, "So, what kind of place is it?"
"What kind of place?"
Gu Chen glanced at me and said calmly, "No matter what kind of place it is, telling you won't help. If she really is there, once we handle things here, I will naturally take you to find her."
Upon hearing this, I fell silent for a moment, realizing that saying anything further would be pointless.
Looking at He Si, I softened my tone and said quietly, "If she is there, Fourth Brother, you must protect her."
He Si shot me a sideways glance and replied, "You didn't call me Fourth Brother when you were about to punch me earlier. Now you suddenly remember?"
I quickly responded, "That was my mistake. Please, Fourth Brother, you have to promise me."
He Si shook his head in disbelief and said, "Don't worry. If she really is in that place, she will be safer than anywhere else. There's no need for protection."
I frowned slightly, feeling puzzled by He Si's words, but ultimately nodded in agreement.
The next morning, just as He Si had promised the night before, he packed his bags and arranged for a car with Chen Sheng before leaving directly.
His arrival had been hurried, and his departure was just as swift.
As he was leaving, I reminded him several times to take good care of Mu Yan and to notify me as soon as he found her. He just smiled at me without saying a word.
"Let's go check out that ancient tomb," He Si said, and after he left, Gu Chen turned to Zhou Zhen and me with a calm demeanor.
I felt a bit puzzled and asked, "Are we really going down there during the day this time?"
Zhou Zhen frowned slightly, looking at Gu Chen with some confusion. "Senior Gu, don't you think there's something strange about that tomb?"
"What do you mean by strange?" Gu Chen asked, seemingly surprised by Zhou Zhen's comment.
After a moment of thought, Zhou Zhen replied, "I feel like that tomb is not ordinary; it's definitely not just any regular burial site."
Gu Chen nodded. "Then explain what makes it so unusual."
Seeing Gu Chen nod, Zhou Zhen seemed more certain and gravely uttered two words: "Blood Corpse."
"Indeed." Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded again and said, "You're right; any tomb that has a Blood Corpse present will certainly not be a simple one."
"What could it be then?" I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Especially when they mentioned the Blood Corpse, it sent a shiver of fear and disgust through me.
"A feng shui treasure site."
Gu Chen glanced at me and said lightly, while Zhou Zhen nodded in agreement. "It seems like it really is quite complicated."
Zhou Zhen had always suspected this, and now that Gu Chen mentioned it, it was undoubtedly true.
"Isn't a feng shui treasure site meant for burying the dead? It would greatly benefit their descendants," I said again.
Gu Chen nodded and replied, "It seems you know a thing or two."
I felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I read it in a book."
He didn't dwell on that but nodded and continued, "Anyone buried in a feng shui treasure site will indeed benefit their descendants significantly. On a smaller scale, they may enjoy wealth and prosperity; on a larger scale, they could hold power and influence in the court."
"The court?"
I couldn't help but feel exasperated. "Master, what era are we in to still be talking about the court?"
"What era?" Gu Chen scoffed. "The term 'court' does not only refer to the feudal period. The current political landscape can also be referred to as the court. Besides, haven't you noticed the peculiarities of that Blood Corpse in the ancient tomb?"
What peculiarities could there be about the Blood Corpse?
I frowned slightly; apart from being frightening, disgusting, and bizarre, I couldn't think of anything else unusual about it.
Suddenly, I raised my head, looking at Gu Chen with fear in my eyes. "The clothes."
"Exactly, those were not modern clothes," Gu Chen nodded.
Zhou Zhen then said, "That's right, do you remember the female ghost that was attached to Fatty?"
I fell into a brief silence. With Zhou Zhen's reminder, I suddenly recalled the female ghost that Fatty had brought out from the ancient tomb. Her attire indeed did not resemble that of a modern person.
This meant that the age of this ancient tomb must be quite old.
"Soul, it seems we really need to take a good look at the Blood Corpse," Gu Chen murmured lightly before stepping forward.
Zhou Zhen and I exchanged glances and quickly followed behind him.
Upon arriving at the cemetery, we stood before an ancient tomb. A person from the Cultural Department was there to conduct research. "You all need to leave quickly, or we will have to forcibly escort you away."
"Senior Gu, what should we do?" Zhou Zhen looked toward Gu Chen.
Gu Chen fixed his gaze on the few police officers and said heavily, "There is indeed a tomb here, but if you recklessly dig it up, it could lead to fatalities."
