Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 278 Bai Xun visits Xinchuanling again

Xinchuanling.

When Bai Xun and his group arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain, Bai Yufeng was already waiting at the village entrance with his men.

He doesn't look very well and has lost a lot of weight.

"Second Young Master." Bai Yufeng said in a hoarse voice.

"How are you? I heard from my brother that you were also shot." Bai Xun asked.

"No vital injuries, he's healed now," Bai Yufeng choked out a sob. "I failed to live up to your trust! I didn't think things through, didn't make a careful assessment, and acted... too rashly, causing the team heavy losses."

Bai Xun patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is not your fault. No one could have imagined that group of people would suddenly attack. Brothers, you are brave and fearless. I, Bai Xun, am grateful to you all."

I've already discussed this with my brother. Everyone's wages will be doubled, and the casualty allowance will be doubled. My Bai family will also take good care of the families of the brothers who died."

Everyone was excited and moved when they heard it.

"Thank you, Second Young Master!"

"Thank you, Second Young Master!"

Bai Xun sighed and said, "I know that you all are forced to do this life-threatening work because of your livelihood. However, life is the most important thing. I hope that in the future, when you encounter danger, you can prioritize saving your own lives."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Bai Yufeng frowned slightly: "Second Young Master, this tomb is too important to the Bai family. We can't afford to make any mistakes."

Bai Xun said, "If you are all defeated, what good will it do to send a group of newbies who know nothing, other than sending them to their deaths? Can they find the underground immortal palace? Besides, my Bai family has more than one way out.

Now that I am temporarily acting as the head of the family, even if I cannot find the underground immortal palace, I am confident that the Bai family can live a good life. Therefore, I do not need you to sacrifice blindly. Do you understand? "

Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond. Before arriving, they all knew they were doing life-threatening work, so they had never considered cherishing their lives.

Bai Yufeng's eyes turned red, and he nodded vigorously: "I understand."

Seeing this, everyone answered in unison: "I understand."

"Afu, Baihao, you two take people to distribute the supplies!" Bai Xun ordered.

Ah Fu smiled and said, "Alright! Brothers, follow me to unload the goods! Let's have a good meal today! Plenty of meat!"

"okay!"

"That's great! I'm so greedy!"

Bai Xun called Bai Yufeng aside and asked, "Any news about Grandpa Nan?"

Bai Yufeng was a little surprised and embarrassed, and he stammered and couldn't explain clearly.

"What? After I left, you never looked for him again?" Bai Xun asked.

"The eldest young master said that it's useless to look for him, and told us not to waste energy and time on this matter. If he really has betrayed us and wants to hide from us, we really won't be able to find him. He has more experience underground than us.

If he didn't rebel and just had an accident, it's been so long now, and he's probably in grave danger. "I understand your feelings, but the facts are true, and I... agree with the young master's decision," Bai Yufeng said awkwardly.

How could Bai Xun not know this truth? He just wanted to find peace of mind.

If you want to see someone alive, you want to see their corpse if they die.

He couldn't face Nanchun in such an unclear situation.

"Tell me in detail about the conflict." Bai Xun said.

Bai Yufeng said, "Didn't you follow those old men to find a way before you left? You even found a mark left by Old Man Nan there. We continued along that road, encountering many traps and hidden weapons along the way. We lost many lives, and in the end, we found a dead end.

We had no choice but to try again. We dug several more places, but in the end, we couldn't get through. All of them were dead ends. The owner of this tomb was incredible. This level must have been a giant maze, deliberately designed to confuse people.

We had no other choice but to take a risk and dig a passage next to the collapsed tomb chamber. We thought we could go around to the back of the collapsed tomb through this passage. This was actually very risky and could easily lead to a series of collapses.

But this desperate solution actually gave us a glimmer of hope. After carefully digging through, we actually found our way around to the back of the collapsed tomb. After walking along the passage for a while, we saw the slide-like passage Zhao Yuan had described.

The younger brother wanted to go down, but the entrance was too narrow and my gear would easily get stuck. So we switched to a smaller brother, who slid down with a rope. Soon, there was a loud bang and a violent shaking. The younger brother, guarding the entrance, also heard strange noises—scary, ghostly howling. We quickly pulled the brother up.

According to him, there was indeed a very spacious underground cave below. Because of the collapse, there were large rocks everywhere, and it was very messy. The suspension bridge over the canyon that Zhao Yuan mentioned was broken. He saw what seemed to be a door in the stone wall on the opposite bank.

We talked about this as we walked. I thought about going outside to question him more thoroughly. But before we could even emerge from the tomb, the gang attacked us. They were all masked, silent, and attacked anyone they saw. Some of our men were outside, and some were inside the tomb, so we didn't have enough manpower.

They were so numerous and powerful that our team was quickly dispersed. Then they stormed the tomb, killing people and blowing up the passages we had dug. I went up the mountain to check a few days ago, and all the passages had collapsed. All our efforts had been wasted.

Bai Xun seemed to be lost in thought.

It's not completely in vain, at least it proves that the direction is correct, and there are other ways to get there.

"Where is the brother who entered the cave?" Bai Xun asked.

"He's... dead." Bai Yufeng said sadly.

"Did you dig the tomb during the day or at night? How long did it take?" Bai Xun asked.

"We always have to choose an auspicious time to go down to the tomb. We went down at noon that day, and it was already afternoon when we came out. Because of our previous experience, we walked quickly, and there were no traps or hidden weapons along the way. It only took us an hour and a half from the time we went in to the time we came out."

"What about the time when Grandpa Nan took you down there?" Bai Xun asked.

"In the afternoon, when I ran out of the tomb after the incident, it was already dark. It took me about three hours from the time I went in to the time I came out." Bai Yufeng replied.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later if there's anything. You go eat first. I asked Ah Fu to buy a lot of braised food." Bai Xun said.

"Okay." Bai Yufeng responded.

Bai Xun looked up at the sky. It was noon and the light was very strong and dazzling.

Grandpa Nan brought several people to the cave and even went up the bridge, but no one noticed that there was a door on the opposite stone wall.

This person was standing on the other side of the canyon and saw it without even getting close to it.

Once we visited the cave at night, and once we visited the cave during the day.

That person may not have realized how important this was, or may not have had the chance to say it.

There is light in that cave.

Daylight can shine in.
