Xie Yixiu shook his head generously, raised his hand, and gently stroked Shi Rong's soft face with the back of his delicate fingers.

"It's okay, Ye Wan won't mind. She's quite easy to talk to."

Easy to talk to?

Shi Rong thought about it.

"So that means being considerate?"

Turning her head sideways, Shi Rong dodged Xie Yixiu's ambiguous big hand, turned around, and stepped onto a giant stone platform, dragging the hem of her skirt behind her.

Looking down from here, although the position is not particularly high, you can still see the entire main tomb chamber clearly.

On the stone platform stood Miao Man and two other people, who had helped her set up a narrow sandalwood carved table, a matching wide stool, a tabletop, and a five-stringed jade zither made of porcelain blue jade.

Shi Rong lowered his eyes and glanced at the electronic watch on Bian Fei's wrist.

10 points.

"There's no time left. Let her down through the cable car. Whatever you want to say, wait until it's over."

As Shi Rongren said this, his slender fingers had already covered the surface of the piano, plucking the strings, and playing a low and gentle farewell song.

The sound is like tears, soft and gentle, and like a stream flowing through the mountains, sometimes sad, sometimes peaceful, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when hearing it.

Following Shi Rong's instructions, Miao Man helped Xie Yixiu turn the side of the main tomb chamber wall, where a specially modified gilded bronze stone statue's elbow was located.

Just below it, a square brick and tile was lifted up in a sliding manner, revealing a winding secret passage leading directly to the Ying Family Ancestral Hall.

"This is the coffin passage that the old man had renovated when he was still alive, before he discovered the unusual movements in the main tomb. He originally intended to build this into a dedicated sacrificial site for the Ying family's funeral, but only after it was completed did he discover the presence of Du Su and others."

"It's no longer useful now. Anyway, when the battle starts later, this secret passage will be destroyed along with the release of the Dragon-Severing Stone. It's a good opportunity for you to use it. It will also mean that the old man didn't bring any more people to waste his efforts."

Speaking of which, Miao Man is really meticulous, worthy of being someone brought up by Shi Rong himself. There are many things that she would tell without waiting for people to ask.

Xie Yixiu understood and nodded.

"I see. I won't be polite then."

With Bo Fan's help, the two of them lifted the jade coffin containing Ye Wan, and watched it slide into the Ying family ancestral hall little by little along the black coffin passage, accompanied by the mourning music played by Shi Rong.

It is cleverly designed to extend to a corner of the ancestral hall and stop at the innermost edge.

Seeing this, Xie Yixiu was shocked.

"So amazing? He can even calculate the direction and landing location of the mysterious coffin in advance?"

Miao Man raised her delicate chin towards him proudly. It was obvious that they were all very familiar with each other.

"Of course! He can even calculate everything that's going to happen tonight, let alone such a small matter."

Also!

When the song was over, Shi Chong paused the still-vibrating strings.

Looking up, she looked at the four people standing in front of her. All the candidates for tonight's battle had arrived.

That’s right! There are only five of them.

According to the deployment of troops set up by the old man of the Ying family before his death: Xie Yixiu is proficient in South Asian witchcraft and has superb medical skills, and is regarded as the main force to annihilate Du Su.

Bo Fan is good at Feng Shui and Taoism, and is well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge. He is regarded as the left deputy to annihilate the five monsters; Bian Fei is good at controlling objects with magic, has sharp ears and eyes, and is regarded as the right deputy to annihilate the five monsters.

Miao Man is well-versed in literature and art, and has a good understanding of various fields. He has some skills in every field. His main responsibility is to assist several people and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

As for Shi Rong, the only thing she could use in this battle was her music. Apart from controlling the spirits with music, she was responsible for disrupting the enemy's mind, creating opportunities for attack, and acting as bait.

They were silent for a while, and finally Shi Rong spoke first.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Xie Yixiu: "My wishes were all fulfilled before I came here. My only hope is that you can survive tonight and get out of here safely."

Miao Man: "Add 1."

Bo Fan: "Add 2."

Bian Fei: "Add 3?"

Shi Rong: ...

"Can you guys be a little more promising?"

Bian Fei pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Sister Fairy, success can't be eaten, but if we can keep you alive tonight, then you will definitely have a meal at the Ying family's expense in the future."

"Eh? You're right~"

Bo Fan chuckled and agreed happily.

"It's not just the Ying family that's offering food, maybe there are also the Huo, Chu, Xing, and Song families!"

Shi Rong was completely speechless. What on earth was going on? Before she could even refute him, Xie Yixiu got there first.

"Look, you two, 20 years ago, Mr. Ying gave you both a share of the $20 billion, right? Even if your family isn't entrepreneurial, you wouldn't spend it so quickly, right?"

Bo Fan and Bian Fei reacted in unison and rolled their eyes at him.

Bian Fei: "Brother Yi Xiu, that's the secular family's money. We are both Taoists now."

Bo Fan: "As the saying goes, 'Once you enter the Dao, it's as deep as the ocean, and from then on, the mortal world is but a passing passage.' Even you, a young man from a well-off family, know that this line of work is not respectable. Both of our families will definitely look down on us because of our profession."

Bian Fei: "Exactly. We've severed ties a long time ago, right? We're both from the mountains, and it's only with the Ying family's support that we've had the chance to leave the mountains."

"We are more than just one child in the family. We have so many brothers and sisters that we can't even raise them all. Who has the time to take care of us?"

Bo Fan: "Who says it's not?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Rong sighed for no reason. Even if she was not the instigator, these things were ultimately related to her and the Ying family.

So he smiled gently at the two of them.

"It's okay. If you can get out alive tonight, come find us three if you two have nothing to eat."

As he said this, he winked at Xie Yixiu and Miao Man, who understood.

Miao Man: "Yes, you don't have to be polite to me. My monthly salary at the Ying family is over 170 million! I can use it to treat you to food. Savings and other things are nothing."

Xie Yixiu: "Then... I should be about the same as her. Anyway, it's impossible to be lower than her. If we have money, let's spend it together!"

The two people listened with stars in their eyes, as if they had already forgotten the danger they were in.

Bian Fei seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Shi Rong with a blush on her face.

"Really, Fairy Sister? Then can I go ask Brother Chu to treat me to a meal?"

Chu Yu?

Shi Rong was stunned. How did she know Chu Zhao?

After standing there awkwardly for three seconds, Shi Rong finally remembered.

Before tonight, these two people were secretly trained for three months by Nan Yuan, Sixth Uncle and others at the Ying family stage.

I guess it was during this period that Bian Fei accidentally saw Chu Zhao and thought he was very handsome?

"This... um... that..."

Shi Rong talked about this and that for a long time but couldn't make anything clear. The main reason was that she really couldn't make the decision for Chu Zhao.
