CHAPTER 1051: 1128: YES, THIS IS ENOUGH.

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced back at her wife. Dong Huiying’s eyes lit up. She thought that since these books belonged to Elder Sun, although Elder Sun might not know them like the back of his hand, he certainly knew more than she did. Asking him directly was the most effective way. However, when she and Shu Yu came over, Elder Sun had always kept a cold face, so she was too embarrassed to ask.

But now, this is a good opportunity. "It’s like this, someone in the Yin family has been subjugated by a wizard’s subterfuge, their body is out of control, and their mind is unclear. I am trying to find a solution. Could you possibly offer some guidance? Such great kindness, Huiying will never forget!"

She clasped her hands and bowed to Elder Sun. Elder Sun stepped forward towards a bookshelf, and with a slight effort, pushed it aside. Was there really a hidden compartment here?

Inside the hidden compartment were only a dozen or so books, from which Elder Sun selected one. "I think this is just right for you, young friend."

Dong Huiying’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that if Elder Sun hadn’t opened this hidden compartment on his own initiative, even if she and Shu Yu had searched through all the books in the western room, they probably wouldn’t have found it. She took it and gave Elder Sun a deep look, then quickly leafed through it in front of him.

Her speed in flipping through the book slightly surprised Elder Sun.

After finishing, Dong Huiying exhaled heavily, "Thank you, Elder!"

Elder Sun: "..."

Is that enough?

Yes, that is enough.

She had already memorized the entire contents of the book, engraved it all in her mind, and knew how to break the subterfuge on Zhi Chen.

***

Dong Huiying and Shu Yu decided to head back home; no one was happier about this than Yi Ran. He remembered that before coming here, Shu Yu had said he could spend the night at the Blue mansion tonight, implying she would coax him to sleep. He was excited and was going to follow, but Elder Sun stopped him.

"Yi boy, you stay."

Yi Ran: "???"

"I won’t—!!" He was almost about to cry.

Faced with Yi Ran’s heart-wrenching "I won’t," Elder Sun remained expressionless, directly grabbing Yi Ran by the collar and hoisting him into the room.

Dong Huiying: "..."

Liang Shuyu: "..."

Uncle Jiang: "..."

Finally, Uncle Jiang saw the two off, leading them back along the tomb passageway. "Ladies, my young master was left behind by the Elder, so I won’t be sending you off. Follow this map route, and you definitely won’t get lost."

Dong Huiying twitched at the corners of her mouth, "Well then, extend my greetings to Yi Ran."

***

When Uncle Jiang returned to Elder Sun, he could hear Yi Ran shouting furiously inside the room, "You old bastard, don’t think I’ll be afraid of you just because you’re older! Do you know? Sleeping is more important than anything! If you don’t let me sleep, you are my enemy, a sworn enemy, just like that!!"

Elder Sun sipped his tea and only then raised an eyebrow to glance at Yi Ran, "Sleep? No wonder, is that sickly guy able to help you sleep?"

Yi Ran, with a dreamy expression, clutching his chest, said, "Jade’s music sounds heavenly, you know, ever since those things happened back then, I’ve been unable to sleep through the night. Even after taking a lot of Knockout Drug, it doesn’t work unless I’m seriously injured or knocked out. Because of this, every year when I can’t stand it, Uncle Jiang chops my neck once, and throughout the year, my neck remains black and blue, which truly hurts!"
