After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lu Ruotong's eyes widened in shock. "How...how did you know?"

Lin Beizhen said, "Only here is the water flow most stable, and the terrain is low enough."

This is an excellent hiding place for treasure.

Besides, white jade is not afraid of water, and if it is hidden in the water of an underground river, no one will find it in a short period of time.

Because no one would jump into a pool of water to search in the dark.

Lu Ruo said, "You're quite smart."

Lin Beizhen asked, "May I see that white jade Bodhisattva statue?"

Lu Ruo immediately jumped up and down, "You, you still say you didn't come for the white jade Bodhisattva statue!"

Lin Beizhen explained, "I'm just curious, if a single white jade statue can fetch a thousand taels of gold from Qian Yuanwai, could there be some hidden secret behind this white jade statue?"

Lu Ruo said, "Such a large piece of jade, it's normal for it to be worth a bit more, right?"

"Not necessarily," Lin Beizhen said. "Three years ago, Wanbaolou in the capital auctioned a white jade statue, and the highest bid at that time was only seven thousand taels of silver."

Lu Ruo felt a little heartbroken, just look at what this young master was saying.

What does "only seven thousand taels of silver" mean?

If seven thousand taels is all "that's it," then how much money is not "that's it"?

Lu Ruo was speechless and choked with emotion.

Lin Beizhen continued, "So I think it might not be that this white jade statue itself is worth a fortune; perhaps there's something else we don't know about."

Lu Ruo thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

He walked to a cliff face and pressed some mechanism, and suddenly a whirlpool appeared in the pool.

Soon, a stone platform lifted the white jade Guanyin statue to the surface of the water.

Lu Ruo lightly touched the ground with her toes and used her lightness skill to fly over.

Lin Beizhen followed closely behind.

After the two stood on the stone platform, Lu Ruo said, "Look, this is the white jade Guanyin statue."

Lin Beizhen carefully observed the Guanyin statue.

He asked, "Is this the Guanyin of the South Sea?"

"I think so, but I don't know either," Lu Ruo said.

Lin Beizhen gently tapped the white jade statue and asked, "Do you have a jade bracelet?"

Lu Ruo took off a jade bracelet from her wrist. "Do you want it?"

Lin Beizhen accepted the jade bracelet. "Thank you."

"Be careful, this is jade, it's very expensive."

"It smells like medicine?"

Lu Ruodao said, "Yes, I need to wear it to treat my illness."

Lin Beizhen gently tapped the white jade statue with the bracelet, then returned the bracelet to its rightful owner.

As Lu Ruo put on the bracelet, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Beizhen said, "This white jade statue is not made of mutton fat jade, but rather extremely cheap white chalcedony."

Lu Ruo didn't understand these gemstones. "Is white chalcedony really that cheap?"

"Yes, this white jade statue, if we really consider its value, would definitely not exceed fifty taels."

Lu Ruo was shocked. How could Qian Laogou spend a thousand taels of gold to retrieve a jade statue worth fifty taels?

Could it be true, as Lin Beizhen said, that there is a great mystery behind this white jade statue?

He touched it and asked suspiciously, "You can tell that?"

"I could tell from the sound." Lin Beizhen didn't say much, and began to carefully examine the white jade statue.

Soon, he discovered a clue in the jade bottle in the white jade statue's hand.

It seems that there is something inside this jade bottle.

"Do you have any hairpins?" Lin Beizhen asked.

Lu Ruo took the hairpin off her head and handed it to him.

Using the tip of the hairpin, Lin Beizhen quickly picked out the contents of the jade bottle.

It is a two-inch-long white jade tube, somewhat like a letter tube for carrying carrier pigeons.

He returned the hairpin to Lu Ruo, who asked while tying her hair up, "What's this?"

Lin Beizhen said, "You'll know once you open it."

"Is it poisonous?" Lu Ruo asked.

"It's been soaking in water for so long, it shouldn't be poisonous." Despite Lin Beizhen's words, he still told Lu Ruo to walk further away.

The small white jade tube was opened, and a sheepskin roll was poured out from it.

Seeing that there was no danger, Lu Ruo walked over and looked at it with the man. "What is this?"

Lin Beizhen unfolded the parchment scroll, and after carefully examining the contents, said, "Perhaps it's a treasure map?"

Lu Ruo exclaimed in surprise, "A treasure map?!"

No wonder Qian Laogou spent a fortune to get the white jade statue back; the value of this picture is definitely higher than a thousand taels of gold.

Lu Ruoxin thought to herself: I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm rich now!

What's the difference between this and finding money on the street?

Lu Ruo shrugged and said directly, "I want this treasure map."

"Okay." Lin Beizhen placed the treasure map in his hand.

After all, what Master Qian wanted was the white jade statue, not the treasure map hidden inside it.

Then, voices could be heard again.

It seems that the group of martial arts practitioners were divided into several groups.

Lin Beizhen grabbed Lu Ruo's wrist. "Let's go first."

Lu Ruo said, "But I haven't restored this place yet..."

"It's just a worthless statue. Let them take it away; it will restore peace to your village."

Lu Ruo thought about it and realized that made perfect sense; after all, it was just a piece of white chalcedony that wasn't worth much.

When Old Man Qian discovers that the white jade statue he spent a fortune on is completely empty, he'll be furious.

Thinking about this, Lu Ruo felt secretly pleased.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

The two quickly left the pool, and shortly after they left, another group of people came looking for them.

Upon seeing the white jade statue in the middle of the pool, the group of people reacted like hungry wolves eyeing meat.

However, these things are none of their concern.

Led by Lu Ruo, the two quickly emerged from the underground cave.

It was already dark, and even the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

After the two returned to the mountain stronghold, Lu Ruo immediately went to take a medicinal bath.

Although he was covered up completely, some skin and flesh would still be exposed when he moved around.

Lin Beizhen had already seen the injury on Lu Ruo's shoulder.

It's only been two hours, yet his skin is already so delicate?

Does such abnormal skin really exist in this world?

Lin Beizhen was puzzled, just then Lin Siheng opened a window on the second floor.

This courtyard is very quiet and secluded, and it is quite far from the village, making it relatively hidden.

Lin Siheng saw his cousin and said, "Oh, you're back?"

Lin Beizhen pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Is my brother-in-law asleep?"

Jiang Xiao poked her head out from beside her man, "Not yet, what's wrong?"

Lin Beizhen said, "I'd like to ask you to help..." He then realized that he didn't know the bandit leader's name, so he paused, "...take a look at him. I suspect he's sick."

Lin Siheng asked, "Who is it?" He suddenly realized, "Your lover?"

Lin Beizhen emphasized, "Not yet."

"It'll happen sooner or later. I've been there, I know," Lin Siheng said.

Jiang smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be right down."

He quickly packed up his medicine box. "Brother, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll go take a look at that young man."

Lin Siheng called out to her husband, "Xiaoxiao."

Jiang Xiao immediately called out in a high-pitched voice, "Brother~"

Lin Siheng was immediately soothed by her husband's sweet voice, "I'll go with you?"

Jiang Xiao shook her head, "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go."

"Okay," Lin Siheng said. "If you encounter danger, remember to shout for help."

"Okay, brother."
