The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

The patriarch of the Yan clan was Yan Qingping, an elderly man in his sixties.

It is rare for a person to live to seventy; sixty years old is already considered a long life.

When she was in Yanjiacun, she went to eavesdrop that night and still remembers what Yan Qingping looked like.

At that time, Yan Qingping was a tall, thin old man with a white beard.

The person at the village entrance, apart from the similar build, no longer resembles Yan Qingping at all.

In his previous life, Yan Qingping did not seem to have entered the capital, and there was no news of the Yan family.

No one from the Yan family came to the capital.

Or perhaps they came, but just didn't see her.

The young Yan Qingping looked much gentler than his aged appearance.

Yan Qingping had a loud voice and a commanding presence, "You little brat, you dress up like this even when you come back to your own territory!"

Han Cuiyin glanced at her uncle. "This is just in case! You know my biological father; he's not a kind father at all."

Everyone's expression changed; it was indeed true.

Yan Dali has spent a long time in Beijing, so he knows this place best.

"Let's go! Let's go into the village. Let's see how our place of residence is."

Yan Qingping led the way, explaining the situation to Han Cuiyin.

After arriving at his residence, the group parted ways.

Yan Dali and Yan Erwen led the three girls further in; their courtyard was at the far north.

The clan chief's courtyard is in the center of the village.

Yan Qingping stopped in the pavilion in the courtyard and went straight to the point, asking, "You must have many questions in your mind, right?"

"Exactly!" Han Cuiyin did have doubts; the Yan family did indeed have many strange aspects.

She had doubts when she was reborn in Yanjiacun.

No one from Yanjiacun left the village.

If the family was missing anything, her uncles would bring it back, or a peddler from outside would come to the village to sell it.

It was my unreliable third uncle who brought outsiders over a few times.

Another issue is that girls from other villages who marry into the family rarely interact with their maternal families.

At other times, he rarely sees outsiders.

Many people go to the Pinglian Mountains to dig for wild medicinal herbs, but very few of them set foot in Yanjiacun.

"Yan Family Village is actually a trap; people are allowed to enter but not leave, and without the head of the Yan family leading them, it's not easy for them to get out."

Yan Qingping sat on the wooden bench in the pavilion and gestured for Han Cuiyin to sit down.

"A trap? Only entry is allowed, no exit? Why are peddlers coming and going?"

"There must be someone leading them, otherwise they would be stuck in Yanjiacun. Think about it carefully."

Yan Qingping smiled, his face showing even more kindness than when he was old and frail.

"My uncle and his family?"

In her memory, her cousins ​​were indeed with the peddler, and sometimes her third uncle would also be there.

At that time, she thought they were just greedy.

Could it be that my third uncle went to the gambling den hoping to trap and beat up debtors when they came knocking?

The more I think about it, the more I think that's the case.

Yan Xiao's intelligence is something even Han Zhen has to be wary of.

Otherwise, how could all those inexplicable things have happened to Yan Xiao while she was taking the imperial examinations all these years?

Seeing her strange expression, Yan Qingping knew she was thinking of that good-for-nothing third brother, so he quickly coughed lightly, "And you! You're also a member of the Yan family, so can you. Otherwise, how could the person you saved have left so easily?"

It was no coincidence that Han Lingzhi and Luo Jingqian appeared there and left safely ten months ago.

At that time, the Yan family already knew Han Lingzhi's identity, and Yan Dali even gave him special instructions to deal with Han Zhen's second daughter properly.

However, because she had swindled a lot of money from Han Lingzhi, the Yan family turned a blind eye and did not interfere further.

Han Cuiyin was shocked when she heard this. Just what kind of place was the Yan family? How did they know all these things?

They were able to leave Yanjiacun so easily because they had Han Cuiyin's things on them.

However, outsiders don't know much about what happened in Yanjia Village.

Some ordinary people are unaware that entry is permitted but exit is not.

Yan Dali and his family are the direct descendants of the Yan family. They have houses in the town and the county. Even if they all move out, there will definitely be people staying in the Yan family village.

Hearing these things today, Han Cuiyin found them relatable to her memories from years ago.

The Yan family did indeed have good relations with the villagers; that's why.

If this were a wealthy family, her uncle's entire family would be considered the gatekeepers.

Seeing that she seemed somewhat distracted, Yan Qingping decided not to delay any longer and asked directly, "Do you know why our Yan Family Village was able to escape its predicament?"

"Why? Didn't you say that Yan Family Village was trapped?"

Her skill in formations was quite good; she hadn't even noticed this trapping formation, which showed how formidable she was.

Such a powerful formation could perhaps be broken from the inside back in the Realm of Immortality.

However, in the Leaf Village, where spiritual energy is almost nonexistent, such ideas are nothing short of wishful thinking.

Moreover, even if my maternal uncle and his family could take people out, there was a prerequisite: apart from the direct descendants, it would be almost impossible for other members of the Yan family to leave.

When the trapping formation was set up, the ancestor of the Yan family passed down the word that direct descendants with Yan blood could come and go freely, while collateral descendants could not exceed six people per hundred years.

After they passed, the eldest son led the collateral branches away, and died instantly.

The Yan clan genealogy records that three hundred years ago, the seventh member left, and the direct descendant perished instantly.

From that year onward, the direct line of bloodline became increasingly difficult to maintain, with almost every generation passing down the line to a single heir.

Things only improved with Yan Dali's generation.

Old Master Yan was a meritorious official who had three sons and one daughter in his lifetime, thus strengthening the direct line of the family.

The stronger the direct lineage, the better off the people of Yan Family Village will be.

However, since Old Master Yan wanted to expand his business, he set his sights on promising scholars.

These scholars shared a common characteristic: they came from poor families and were filial.

However, he ultimately misjudged the situation.

Han Cuiyin knew everything that happened afterward, but there was one thing she didn't know.

"Chieftain, how exactly did you escape?"

She now has doubts about this.

If the formation is suppressed by an uncontrollable external force, could that uncontrollable external force break through the spatial barrier? Once this matter is settled, can she use this body to return to the Realm of Immortality?

After all, she has a thousand years of cultivation foundation, and she wouldn't be able to adapt to living the life of an ordinary person again.

What was originally a very short year for her has become a long time.

“I do know about that. I suspect it’s related to Changji Village.”

"Changji Village? These two places are very different, how could they be related to it?"

Han Cuiyin couldn't understand how this kind of formation could be like this.

"Our ancestors once said that the formation of Yanjiacun is a mother-child formation with the formation in Pinglianjiang. When we were traveling north by boat, we heard that there were masters fighting in Changjizhai, and the mountains of Changjizhai were leveled."

It turned out to be the case.

Something was definitely off about Lian Yao's fight with Mo Changdao.

“There is indeed a secret beneath the Pinglian River, but what does this have to do with the Longevity Map and Yan Family Village?” She already knew that the bandits had sent people to Yan Family Village for the Longevity Map.

"I don't know either. Our ancestor only said that the Longevity Diagram is related to the rise and fall of the Leaf Village. The Longevity Diagram is hidden in Yan Family Village, waiting for a destined person. That man must be Prince Luo?"

Yan Qingping smiled faintly and remained silent, but he knew exactly what was going on.

"The Longevity Diagram is nothing more than a place for cultivation; what secrets does it hold?"

“A place for cultivation? The Heavenly Dao restricts the Leaf Village. Here, one can only enter the Dao through martial arts. People who can cultivate spiritual power are extremely rare.”

"And after the battle at Changji Village last time, a divine decree was issued to restrain us. How are we any different from ordinary martial artists now?"

Han Cuiyin was slightly taken aback. She was unaware of this, and Luo Jingqian had not mentioned it either.

If we can't take action, won't we just be able to take hits in the future?

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

What are the mysteries of the Longevity Chart?
