Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Gu Yu shook her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes:

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either."

My father didn't go into details about this, he only mentioned it occasionally, saying that the selection of people to be buried alive was not under his jurisdiction.

I found it terrifying, so I didn't dare ask any more questions.

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, keeping the information in mind.

Receiving this news today is already a pleasant surprise.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know where that revered person is buried?"

Gu Yu thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be buried in the back mountain of the imperial mausoleum. The scale doesn't seem to be high; it's very low-key."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression, "Why are you asking about this?"

Lin Feng remained expressionless and casually replied:

"Just out of curiosity."

After all, I've never seen what a royal attendant looks like in my entire life.

That's a legendary Grandmaster-level expert. If I have the chance, I'd like to go and pay my respects to him.

Gu Yu shook her head, her expression becoming more serious:

"It's best not to be curious."

Those who are worshipped have special status and are involved in too many things.

My dad always said that the less you know about certain things, the safer you are. Don't do anything reckless.

Seeing her nervous appearance, Lin Feng knew she was worried about him.

He smiled and squeezed her hand, changing the subject: "Okay, whatever you say."

By the way, do you remember Zhao Erniu?

Gu Yu was taken aback, not expecting Lin Feng to suddenly bring up this person.

She thought for a moment and nodded: "I know."

I taught him when we were at Fuhu Mountain.

Although he's a bit slow-witted and speaks very bluntly, you can tell he's an honest person, without any ulterior motives, and quite loyal.

She paused, then continued:

"Later, I even taught him a martial arts technique, which can be considered as forming a good connection."

That kid is quite talented and has a lot of potential.

It's a pity that he wasn't trained from a young age and started practicing martial arts a little too late.

Otherwise, he would at least be at the Innate Realm by now.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Zhao Erniu also participated in the military examination and obtained the title of Military Scholar."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, then she smiled:

"That's a good thing, congratulations!"

It's much better for him to get on the right path than to become a bandit.

"When you're a bandit, you never know when you'll lose your head. At least now you have a respectable background."

Lin Feng nodded: "He should be coming to the capital in a month."

Zhao Erniu is very loyal to you, his boss, and keeps saying he wants to repay you. Would you like to meet him?

Gu Yu shook her head, her expression indifferent, showing no interest whatsoever.

"No need."

My relationship with him was purely by chance; I only taught him my skills incidentally.

Now that he has his own path to follow and I need to prepare for the college entrance exam, there's no need for us to meet in person.

The exam is in just over two months, so I'm not in the mood to see anyone right now; preparing for the exam is the key.

Seeing her serious expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle, reached out and pulled her close, kissing her on the cheek.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Gu Yu blushed and was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed. She sat up abruptly and began to tidy her clothes and hair in a flustered manner.

She lowered her voice and said, "Someone's coming."

Lin Feng also heard the footsteps. The footsteps were neither too light nor too heavy, stopping every few steps, clearly intentionally making noise to alert the people inside.

Just as the two finished tidying up, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Miss, the master is back."

"Please come to the living room with Young Master Lin." A maid's voice came from outside the door.

Gu Yu replied, "I understand, I'll be right there."

After the maid's footsteps faded into the distance, Gu Yu turned and glared at Lin Feng, her face still flushed, and said coquettishly:

"It's all your fault! My face is so red now, how am I going to go out and see anyone?"

Looking at her embarrassed and annoyed expression, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh:

"A rosy, glowing face means you have a healthy complexion, so what's there to be ashamed of?"

Time was of the essence, so Gu Yu quickly got up, washed her face with cold water, and carefully tidied herself up in front of the bronze mirror before leading Lin Feng to the living room.

When they arrived at the living room, Gu's mother and a middle-aged man were sitting in the main seats.

The middle-aged man was in his early forties, with a resolute face and a hint of authority between his brows, clearly someone who had long served in officialdom.

Upon seeing Lin Feng enter, the middle-aged man raised his head, his gaze sweeping over him, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

After a moment, he nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Then he looked at Gu Yu, who was following behind Lin Feng, and his gaze softened instantly, filled with a hint of doting.

This man was Gu Yu's father—Gu Jianfeng.

"You must be Lin Feng?" Gu Jianfeng asked, his voice steady and powerful.

Lin Feng stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Uncle."

Gu Jianfeng waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down, a smile appearing on his face:

"Not bad, a handsome man."

Gu Yu's mother has already told me about you and Gu Yu.

You two are destined to be together; it's a good thing that you've come together.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Since we're on the same side, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to the Gu family.

The Gu family's techniques and resources will also be available to you.

I hope to be in the top ten in this imperial examination, so that I can have a bright future.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng cupped his hands again, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for your kind words, Uncle."

However, Lin Feng already had a master and his own path to follow, so it was inconvenient for him to accept the Gu family's techniques and resources.

Let's leave these to Gu Yu.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Jianfeng's eyes.

He had assumed that Lin Feng would readily agree, since the Gu family, as a first-class family in the capital, possessed cultivation techniques and resources that outsiders could only dream of.

Unexpectedly, this kid refused, and refused so decisively.

But he wasn't angry; instead, he felt a greater appreciation for Lin Feng.

Young people with integrity and who don't covet cheap deals are rare.

"Fine, whatever you say."

Gu Jianfeng nodded.

"If you need anything in the future, just contact Gu Yu."

As long as you treat Gu Yu well, the Gu family will not skimp on your resources.

"Thank you, Uncle," Lin Feng replied.

Regardless of what happens in the future, at least Gu Jianfeng's current attitude leaves him with no room for criticism.

Gu Jianfeng took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Feng: "This is the Gu family's token, you take it."

With this, entering and leaving the Valley Palace, or going in and out of the inner city, will be much more convenient.

Lin Feng accepted the token with both hands and thanked him again.

Gu Yu watched from the side, secretly relieved.

Her biggest worry was that her father would be dissatisfied with Lin Feng, but to her surprise, the two got along quite well when they met, and her father's attitude towards Lin Feng was also good.

Just then, the butler rushed in and whispered:

"Sir, something has happened at the tomb!"

Gu Jianfeng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

The butler took a breath and glanced at Lin Feng unconsciously.

Seeing that Gu Jianfeng did not intend for Lin Feng to avoid the situation, he then spoke up: "Reporting to the master, two more craftsmen who were building the tomb... heard about the matter of being buried alive with the dead and ran away in fear."

He was caught up by the guards of the imperial tomb and killed on the spot.

Gu Jianfeng's face darkened. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are their families alright?"

"No.

"The guards only killed the two craftsmen; they didn't implicate their families," the servant replied.

Gu Jianfeng sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Take two hundred taels of silver from the accounting office, one hundred taels for each family, and send them to their families."

"Just say... it's a small token of the Gu family's appreciation."

"Yes, sir." The servant acknowledged the order and withdrew.
