The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

However, these have nothing to do with her. After all, she doesn't care about the treasure or anything else.

"Miss, do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?" The woman looked at Situ Yaorao and asked expectantly. Seeing the woman's expectant expression, Situ Yaorao swallowed the words that were about to refuse. She smiled and said, "Okay."

"Great!" the woman said excitedly. Then she remembered that she hadn't told Situ Yaorao her name yet, and hurriedly said, "By the way, young lady, my name is Gusu. You can just call me by my name."

"Situ." Situ Yaorao only said her last name. The woman didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets, and asking too many questions would only cause trouble.

Situ Yaorao followed Gusu to her home. Gusu's home was very clean and the courtyard was well-maintained. Seeing Gusu's return, a 70-year-old man came out of the house and said, "Gusu, who is this?" The old man looked at Situ Yaorao with some caution.

Gusu smiled upon hearing this, "Father, this is the girl who lives next door to us. Also, my illness has been cured. The goddess chose me today to heal me."

"Really? This is fantastic." The old father was so excited after hearing that Gusu had recovered that he even looked at Situ Yaorao with a more favorable eye. "Young lady, please come in."

As her father entered the room, Situ Yaorao was slightly surprised. The furnishings in this room didn't resemble those of Lanlin, but more like those of Mingyue Country.

"Girl, please sit down. Gusu doesn't have a playmate on weekdays, so I think she will feel close to you when she sees you. I don't know if I have disturbed you." said the old father.

Situ Yaorao hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I really like Miss Gusu. She is kind and open-minded. I am lucky to have met her."

"Father, please tell Miss Situ about the treasure of our Luo City!" Gusu hurriedly urged his father, noticing that he hadn't gotten to the point. His father's face darkened when he heard this: "Nonsense! Where did this treasure come from?"

The old father's face was extremely grim at this moment. He was completely different from what Gusu had said, telling her everything he knew about the treasure. This made Situ Yaorao curious.

So he asked, "Miss Gusu told me before that there is a treasure hidden in Luo City. If you know anything, please tell me. Just treat it as a story. I won't go looking for it."

"No means no!" said the old father seriously.

"It's obviously there! Dad, you're lying!" Gusu shouted aggrievedly, looked at Situ Yaorao, and said, "Miss Situ, believe me, I didn't lie to you." After that, he rushed into his father's room and found a book.

When the old father saw the book, his pupils shrank.

"Miss Situ, this is the book. The book records the story of the treasure." After saying that, Gusu handed the book to Situ Yaorao, who was a bit amused.

She is not interested in either treasure or gold mountain.

"Gusu, how can you be so ridiculous!" The old father looked at Situ Yaorao with a gloomy face and said hurriedly: "My dear girl, these are just tricks used by this old man to deceive people. There is no treasure in Luo City. It's better not to listen to your nonsense."

"It's okay, I just wanted to pass the time," Situ Yaorao said, opening the book. Staying in Luocheng was already boring. If she hadn't been worried about Tan Tai Wu Yue marrying that goddess, she would have gone to the snowy mountains with Tan Tai Yun Yi long ago.

At this moment, Situ Yaorao's curiosity was piqued by the so-called treasure book, coupled with the old man's completely different attitude from his daughter. However, Situ Yaorao, who had casually opened the book, completely changed her expression after seeing what was written on it.

The hands holding the book began to tremble.

"This...is this true?" There was a hint of excitement in Situ Yaorao's tone.

"Girl, the old man said it was a lie." The old father saw that Situ Yaorao was interested and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Situ Yaorao glanced at the old father and said coldly, "Is it true or false?"

When Situ Yaorao smiled, she was very kind. However, when her expression turned cold, she looked a little scary. Her long-standing arrogant and unreasonable temperament also showed through.

Seeing her like this, the old father had no choice but to say, "It's true, but girl, this treasure is cannibalistic. Over the years, the old man always told the secret of the treasure to others, and agreed that if anyone got something from it, they would give me some. But... over the years, thousands of people have come here, but no one has ever come out of the treasure place.

You and Gusu girl are friends, and this old man just doesn't want you to lose your life because of this treasure."

"Ah? It's so dangerous? Miss Situ, you'd better not go." Gusu grabbed Situ Yaorao's sleeve and said hurriedly.

Situ Yaorao's eyes flashed, and she thought to herself, this old father didn't lie. But... Situ Yaorao glanced at the words above: "The living and the dead, the flesh and bones, the only treasure in my life, the flesh and the Ganoderma lucidum, I place it between the pillow of my beloved, hoping that one day she can open her eyes again."

The person who left these words was a miracle doctor from the previous dynasty.

Seeing all this, Situ Yaorao could no longer sit still. Lingzhi was the main ingredient in treating Yuehua, and she hadn't heard of it before, so she had even considered it. Now that she saw it, how could she not be tempted?

If I don't fight, I'll die. If I fight, maybe there's still a glimmer of hope. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao's eyes flashed, "Please tell me where the entrance to this treasure is. If I really get what's inside, I'll definitely share it with you."

"No need." The old father sighed, as if he had aged ten years. "All I want is one person in this treasure."

"People?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"Yes, if you enter the treasure place and get the treasure, please take the woman near the treasure out. This is the only request of this old man. If you can do it, I will tell you. If you can't, I will not say a word even if I die." The old father said with persistence.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Do you want to die?" Gusu felt very distressed when he saw his father like this.

"Okay, I promise you." Although she didn't know what use he had for the corpse, it had nothing to do with Situ Yaorao. For her, the most important thing was to take out the Ganoderma lucidum.

"It's a deal." Situ Yaorao agreed. The old father was a little excited and walked into the room tremblingly. He took out a picture and said, "In our Luocheng, there has always been a ballad."

"I know, I know," Gusu said quickly, "The ballad goes, 'The bright moon hangs high, little girl, hurry home.' The green hills sway, as if the gods have come. The moon is dark and the wind is strong, little girl, hurry home. Don't covet that immortal beauty, for you will never return."

"Yes, that's it." said the old father.

"Oh?" Situ Yaorao silently memorized the ballad. Then she saw her father holding out a map: "This is the map of the entrance to the treasure. In fact, over the years, more than a thousand people have entered and never come out, and many people can't even find the entrance. This is all I can do. The rest, you have to find it yourself. If you can find it, it's fate. If you can't, perhaps it's destiny."

"Destiny?" Situ Yaorao sneered, "I believe in everything, but I don't believe in fate. I'll get this treasure even if I have to dig three feet deep."

"Girl, sometimes, being too persistent will only backfire." The old father shook his head and did not quite agree with Situ Yaorao's persistence.

"Everyone has their own ideas. Old man, what you think is completely different from what I think. But... even if I am persistent, I am helpless. If not, I am afraid that even living is a luxury." After saying this, Situ Yaorao left the yard and returned to the small courtyard where she lived.

In the small courtyard, the man in black who had previously worked for Tan Tai Yun Yi had been guarding outside. It was obvious that he was ordered by Tan Tai Yun Yi to protect Situ Yao Rao.
