Although Bai Zongze said he didn't want to follow Su Fan and Bai Jiajia into the mountains to feed mosquitoes.

However, considering the gravity of the matter, he worried they might encounter trouble and decided to accompany them anyway.

On the second day, which was the weekend.

Su Fan didn't have to work at the hospital, so he went to Villa No. 6 to discuss the matters of the Bai family's ancestral land with the elder, Bai Zongze.

Even if Su Fan didn't come over, Bai Zongze somewhat wanted to invite him to discuss this matter.

Some servants of the Bai family, arranged by Bai Jiajia, were arriving one after another.

When Su Fan arrived at the Bai family villa, Bai Zongze invited him for tea.

After Su Fan took a seat, he asked, "Old Bai, what are the purposes of Juxian Yard, Chungu Yard, and the back mountain?"

The Bai family ancestral tomb and the training ground are self-explanatory.

It's immediately clear what these two places are for.

But the remaining three places don't reveal much information from their names.

Others might not know about these things, but Bai Zongze does.

He said, "According to the Bai ancestor's book, Juxian Yard was where the reclusive Bai family once cultivated talents and received guests."

"As for Chungu Yard, it was the residence for the reclusive Bai family members."

"The back mountain is a forbidden area, very dangerous, but beyond that, I don't know much."

Su Fan continued to ask, "Why can't anyone over thirty enter the Bai family's ancestral land?"

Bai Zongze couldn't answer this question either.

But he could still tell Su Fan a few things.

"This is recorded in the Bai ancestor's book, but the specifics are unclear to me as well."

"However, I indeed had someone try in my younger days, and it was true that those over thirty couldn't enter the Bai family's ancestral land."

In short, Bai Zongze doesn't know the reason, but the fact remains so.

Su Fan had no further questions, as it was clear the elder knew more but wasn't willing to share.

Given the circumstances, he could only explore on his own.

After drinking two cups of tea, Su Fan asked, "Do all reclusive families have similar ancestral lands?"

Bai Zongze nodded: "Yes, any true reclusive family would certainly have such an ancestral land requiring special means to enter."

These reclusive families clearly don't just claim to be so by living in an isolated valley.

They have a long heritage, and their ancestors were proficient in the arcane arts of geomancy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hide their ancestral lands in such clever ways.

After Su Fan had no further questions, Bai Zongze spoke up: "For now, neither of you should go to the back mountain."

"But you can visit Juxian Yard, Chungu Yard, the training ground, and the Bai family ancestral tomb."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan nodded and asked, "Is there anything in particular we should be cautious about?"

Bai Zongze smiled wryly: "The Bai ancestor's book I have is incomplete, and the recorded information is very limited."

"As far as I know, apart from the back mountain, other places are relatively safe."

"But you two should still be careful when entering them."

Su Fan noted down Bai Zongze's words.

At night, the three of them set out once again.

The first time visiting the Bai ancestral land was quite troublesome.

This time, all three of them were much more familiar with the way.

At night, the moon appeared once more.

The bright moonlight reflected in the moon pond, slowly moving.

When the moon's reflection reached the center of the moon pond, Su Fan once again led Bai Jiajia into the thick fog.

With past experience, the two of them found it much easier this time.

Without any mishaps, the stone steps they had encountered before reappeared before them.

Then Su Fan led Bai Jiajia up the steps again, heading towards the mountainside.
