"Who said I'm your woman?" Mu Wanrou smiled through her tears, raised her small hand to push Ye Lou away, buried her head in her chest shyly, and fled the scene in a panic.

"This little girl is still shy!" Ye Lou laughed heartily, his mood naturally filled with joy.

Back in the courtyard, Ding Mao and Xi Yan came out of the room, with Aunt Lan following behind. Mu Wanrou was nowhere to be seen, but Ye Lou didn't think much of it, assuming she was just shy and hiding.

"Ye Lou, I just discussed protecting you with Lan Fangzhu. We both agree that Ding Dao Kuang and Ouyang Liang will not let this go. How about Xi Yan and I stay at your Ye family's place for the time being?" Ding Mao said, looking at Ye Lou.

"Of course, I'll have my father prepare two guest rooms for you right away." Ye Lou turned to leave.

"No need, Xi Yan and I will go by ourselves. It seems that Master Lan has something to discuss with you," Ding Mao said.

Ye Lou glanced at Aunt Lan standing at the door, waiting, as if something really was going on, and could only say, "Alright then."

Ding Mao nodded to Xi Yan, said goodbye to Aunt Lan again, and then left Fanyinfang.

"Ye Lou, come in, I have something to tell you." After Aunt Lan finished speaking, she walked into the room, and Ye Lou immediately followed.

Aunt Lan suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Lou, saying, "Ye Lou, do you really like our Wanrou?"

Ye Lou was taken aback, then nodded casually.

"Alright, I've seen your talent and your character, and I admire them very much." Aunt Lan turned around and paced back and forth in the room, seemingly making a decision in her heart.

"I won't beat around the bush. Although I don't object to your relationship with Wanrou, her identity is not that simple. She shoulders heavy responsibilities for her family, so you should be prepared."

Ye Lou replied earnestly, "Aunt Lan, please rest assured, Wanrou has told me everything. I will definitely help her get through this difficult time within six months."

Hearing this, Aunt Lan nodded in relief. When Mu Wanrou was young, her parents were busy with the family business and also had to improve their strength to consolidate their own position.

There was no time to take care of her; it was always Aunt Lan who took care of her. This master-servant relationship had long since evolved into kinship.

As long as Ye Lou had this intention, she would be content. Half a year was such a short time, and with a small Ye family and a Ye Lou who had not yet grown up, Aunt Lan dared not have too much hope.

"Once your Ye family's crisis is over, I have an important matter for you and Wanrou to handle. This matter concerns the life and death of Fanyinfang, and is fraught with danger, with a slim chance of survival. Do you dare to do it?" Aunt Lan said solemnly.

"I will definitely go."

"Alright! Come with me!" Aunt Lan turned around and walked directly to the back of the hall, where a ten-zhang-high artificial mountain was in front of her.

Aunt Lan stopped in front of the artificial hill and suddenly reached out and pushed one of the stones, causing the artificial hill to begin to shift and change shape.

Before long, a staircase appeared in front of Aunt Lan, leading straight down into the depths of the earth, its contents obscured.

Aunt Lan glanced at Ye Lou, who looked bewildered, and walked straight downstairs. Without thinking, Ye Lou followed her in, and the artificial hill returned to its original state.

The corridor was narrow and long. As soon as I took a step out, the pillars of fire on the side lit up, illuminating the simple corridor clearly.

Ye Lou followed behind Aunt Lan, not daring to speak, until finally he saw the end of the corridor, where a stone gate appeared before him.

As soon as the two arrived at the stone gate, it automatically extended upwards. The sight before them left Ye Lou speechless for a long time. What appeared before them was a huge underground secret chamber, like a palace, with endless bookshelves filled with various secret scrolls.

Sixty or seventy women busily moved back and forth, constantly updating the secret scrolls on the bookshelves, proceeding in an orderly manner; it was practically a massive intelligence room.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Aunt Lan bring in a stranger.

"Aunt Lan, may I look through these secret scrolls?" Ye Lou couldn't contain his curiosity, because he saw the three large characters "Wushan Town" written on one of the bookshelves, which meant that the books recorded the deeds of Wushan Town.

Aunt Lan smiled and nodded.

Ye Lou immediately went to the bookshelf, where large and small scrolls were arranged from top to bottom. He randomly opened one and was shocked.

"This is the Dong family's ultimate technique, the Yin Wave Palm!" What's even more terrifying is that it not only records the cultivation method but also the method of countering it.

As he turned the pages, he found that the Ye family's Sky-Piercing Claw and the Wu family's Soul-Devouring Poison Needle were explained clearly. Moreover, Ye Lou discovered that this place not only contained martial arts techniques, but also the power of the three major families and introductions of their key figures.

Ye Lou felt a chill run down his spine as he read it, and even saw descriptions of himself, as if a pair of eyes had been watching him for the past ten years.

"This is outrageous! Now I finally understand why those four great families are vying for the resources of the Brahma Sound Pavilion. By understanding the weaknesses of those top experts, they can easily control them," Ye Lou said, turning back to Aunt Lan with an incredulous expression.

"These are just minor details. The truly useful intelligence lies in those secret caves, which contain countless cultivation resources. Moreover, this is only one of their objectives. Come with me!"

As Ye Lou walked past the bookshelves, he followed behind Aunt Lan, looking around like a country bumpkin. The women looked at him as if he were an oddball.

The Brahma Sound Workshop is different from the Ye family. Even this small intelligence room is beyond the reach of the Ye family. You should know that every piece of information inside can be sold for an unpredictable price.

Moreover, this is a branch of the Brahma Sound Workshop in Wushan Town. Thinking about it carefully, it's terrifying to realize that if all branches had such an intelligence room, Ye Lou's surprised expression is not surprising.

Aunt Lan led Ye Lou straight ahead. At the end of the bookshelf was another stone wall. This time, Aunt Lan pushed a small stone next to her, and the stone wall extended up to it.

What appeared before him was yet another long corridor, almost identical to the one he had entered through before, making Ye Lou wonder if he had walked through it all again.

"Aunt Lan, where are we going?" Ye Lou asked curiously.

"I'll take you to see what the four great families of Gong, Shang, Jiao, and Zheng have acquired the most." Aunt Lan said without turning her head, her voice echoing in the empty passageway.

This completely ignited Ye Lou's curiosity, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace. The information resources of the Brahma Sound Pavilion were already attractive enough, but what could be even more attractive?

Finally, they arrived at the end of the passage. Not far away was another stone gate, but this time two adult men stood outside, their appearances bearing a striking resemblance, one on the left and one on the right, neither of them smiling.

However, Ye Lou's gaze lingered on the wisps of mist emanating from the bottom of the stone cave. Even from a distance, he could sense the purity of the spiritual energy within, which was incomparable to the spiritual energy outside.

"Xiao Lan, what brings you here?" The man on the left asked first, then, noticing Ye Lou beside him, asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

"Brother Wen, this is Wanrou's friend. I'd like to take him into the Heavenly Spirit Pool," Aunt Lan pleaded.

“Absolutely not!” The man on the other side retorted without hesitation, “The Heavenly Spirit Pool is the supreme treasure of the Brahma Sound Pavilion. Although a single drop can turn into a pool when it comes into contact with water, we ourselves have very little left. Moreover, the Brahma Sound Pavilion has always had a rule that only direct descendants and those who have made great contributions can enter. Xiao Lan, don’t make things difficult for us.”

“Brother Wen, Brother Wu, we grew up together, don’t you know me? I know the rules of Fanyinfang better than anyone else, but this time I hope you can understand me.”

Ye Lou felt a warmth in his heart. He was sure that he had brought him in to help him, especially since he was allowed to freely browse through the secret scrolls outside. This showed that he regarded him as one of his own. Now, he was even willing to lower himself so that Ye Lou could enter the Heavenly Spirit Pool.

The two brothers remained silent, seemingly moved, probably because they couldn't refuse Aunt Lan due to their relationship, but they couldn't disobey the rules set by their superiors, leaving them in a dilemma.

“Brothers, this boy Ye Lou only had three levels of internal strength three months ago, but now he has reached the ninth level. His actual combat strength is no less than that of a first-level Spirit Induction Realm cultivator.” Aunt Lan added, seeing that it had an effect.

The two men's eyes lit up immediately. They looked up and stared at Ye Lou. Such talent was enough to place him among the geniuses of Glory City.

"Ye Lou is now a student of Tianyi, and his relationship with Wanrou is quite special. We don't have much Heavenly Spirit Holy Water left. Once Ye Lou's strength improves, I want him to go there with Wanrou."

"you mean?"

The two spoke in unison, and even before they were halfway through their sentences, they already had the answer in their hearts.

They glanced at Ye Lou again, their expressions seemingly conveying a sense of skepticism. How could such a small town as Wushan produce a prodigiously talented junior? Yet, their trust in Aunt Lan was absolute.

Aunt Lan grew up with them and devoted herself to the Fanyinfang. She has never brought a stranger to this place in decades. Could this child really be the hope of the Fanyinfang?

"Enough, enough!" Brother Wen laughed suddenly. "If I can't trust others, can't I trust you, Xiao Lan? Let him in. The Brahma Sound Pavilion is in such a state now that we can only try anything. Perhaps your decision is the right one."

"Thank you both, brothers!" Aunt Lan said with a joyful expression, exchanging a smile with Ye Lou.

"Xiao Lan, this is the first time I've seen you so dedicated to an outsider." Brother Wu turned to look at Ye Lou. "Kid, it's your good fortune to have Xiao Lan take such good care of you. Cherish this opportunity; it will definitely be of great help to you."

"I will never forget the kindness and generosity shown to you two seniors!"

The two smiled calmly, turned around, and simultaneously extended their hands. The spiritual energy in their palms surged and condensed into a round ball, which slowly embedded itself into two round stones next to the stone gate.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the spiritual energy and the stone completely merged together. The two of them were already covered in sweat. Then, the gate slowly opened, and a fairyland-like scene appeared before their eyes.
