In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Grandma Huo emphasized the word "seek" very heavily.

Huo Xiuxiu was very surprised. She knew that her grandmother was a very strong-willed woman who never asked for help from anyone in her life, but today she actually made a request to Master Su in front of so many members of the Huo family.

What does she want?

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Please speak!"

Grandma Huo said frankly, "I have a daughter named Huoling. She disappeared after the Xisha archaeological expedition. Mr. Su, could you help me deduce whether she is alive or dead?"

At this moment, Old Madam Huo was particularly uneasy, after all, the Eleventh Warehouse incident a dozen days ago had almost resulted in a bloody battle between her and Su Mo's forces.

"Uh…"

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, but seeing the pleading look in Old Madam Huo's eyes, he couldn't bear it.

Su Mo is now a father himself and knows the pain of a parent outliving their child!

"..."

Su Mo sighed, pretended to do some calculations with his fingers, and said, "Huo Ling is still alive!"

what!

Is the person who has been missing for over a decade still alive?

Huo Xiuxiu was shocked!

Old Mrs. Huo swayed and almost fell to the ground, but Xie Xiaohua was quick-witted and caught her in time.

"Grandma Huo, are you alright...?" Xie Xiaohua asked worriedly.

Huo Xiangu shook her head, looked at Su Mo, and subconsciously asked, "Do you know where she is?"

"..."

Su Mo remained silent, simply staring intently at Huo Xiangu.

Huo Xiangu's pupils contracted. "You...you know where my daughter is?"

Huo Xiangu had lost her usual composure, and her eyes were red.

Su Mo sighed, "I'm sorry, Aunt Huo, I can't tell you this... It's just too complicated. There are certain rules and taboos. As the head of the Huo family, you should understand!"

Not long after Huo Ling left Banna, she joined the Xisha archaeological team. Based on the current time, Su Mo guessed that she should be at the Golmud sanatorium.

However, the Banna incident is far too complicated, and it is vaguely related to the corpse in the Wu family's old house.

That day, Su Mo was about to break through the formation!

The fact that Jie Lianhuan was willing to detonate all the bombs in the old house to stop him shows how deep the water was inside.

Although Su Mo knew Huo Ling's whereabouts, he could not tell Old Madam Huo the truth, or at least he could not tell her.

Furthermore, Huo Ling, having consumed the Corpse Beetle Pill, had already transformed into a Forbidden Woman.

No matter how powerful Su Mo is, he has no way to turn a zongzi into a person!

If it were like Xie Lianhuan back then, who had just consumed the Corpse Beetle Pill, Su Mo could still give it a try.

But Huo Ling has been ingesting corpse beetle pills for over ten years, and the disease has penetrated to the bone marrow, so there's nothing he can do!

"It...it's it!"

Old Mrs. Huo gave a sad smile, her face filled with desolation.

If anyone dares to harm my daughter, I'll risk my life to kill that person and the forces behind them!

Su Mo muttered to himself, then looked at Old Madam Huo again, "Fairy, although I can't tell you, there is someone who should know. You can go and ask him!"

Huo Xiangu asked urgently, "Who?"

Su Mo: "Zhang Rishan!"

As Zhang Dafoye's confidant, Zhang Rishan had done a lot of dirty and hard work for him, so he must have known about the Banna incident back then, and he may even have been involved in it personally.

Chapter 265: The Qinling Storyline

There are some things that Su Mo really cannot tell the truth about.

However, Su Mo did not know whether Zhang Rishan would tell Huo Xiangu everything.

The Nine Gates were like a chaotic pot of soup, with all sorts of people involved, so it wasn't surprising that anything could happen. Su Mo didn't want to get involved.

Therefore, after comforting Old Mrs. Huo, Su Mo left the Huo family with Xie Xiaohua.

In the car.

As Xie Xiaohua drove, she would glance at Su Mo from time to time, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Su Mo scolded, "Just drive your car and don't meddle in the Huo family's affairs..."

"besides…"

"Your father, Xie Lianhuan, didn't die either..."

what?

Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat, and she slammed on the gas pedal.

thump!

Su Mo leaned forward and almost got hit. Luckily, he was wearing a seatbelt, otherwise he would have been in a huge embarrassing situation.

Su Mo glared at Xie Xiaohua, annoyed. "I told you to drive properly!"

Xie Xiaohua looked at Su Mo, her mouth agape, "My uncle isn't dead..."

Although Xie Xiaohua was adopted by Xie Lianhuan by Xie Jiuye, Xie Lianhuan had been missing for many years, and Xie Xiaohua had almost forgotten what her uncle looked like.

Today, my master told me that my uncle is not dead.

What a joke!

But Xiaohua knew that her master wasn't the kind of person who talked nonsense!

Su Mo said, "Alive!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Xie Xiaohua's face lit up with joy, "You've seen him before?"

The once-great Xie family now only has Xie Xiaohua as its direct descendant. Xie Xiaohua was well aware that the collateral branches wanted to seize the family property and the position of family head.

After I became Su Mo's disciple, those people quieted down a lot.

If my uncle could return to the Xie family, those petty scoundrels would definitely not dare to have any more designs on us.

Grandpa always says that my uncle is shrewd, capable, and as cunning as a fox.

Su Mo nodded, "Yes, I've met him. I saw him just over ten days ago..."

Xie Xiaohua suppressed the pounding in her heart, "Where...where is he?"

Su Mo said calmly, "I can't tell you, and you shouldn't get involved in this matter..."

Jie Xiaohua's lips moved slightly, clearly wanting to say something, but Su Mo didn't give him a chance to speak, "Drive!"

"..."

Helpless, Xiaohua drove towards Panjiayuan.

……

Panjiayuan.

Nannan is playing with Xiao Cunding in front of the Su family's antique shop.

Upon seeing Su Mo get out of the car, the woman and the dog immediately ran towards him.

Su Mo laughed heartily, "The little girl has grown into a beautiful young lady..."

The little girl inherited Yingzi's bright, big eyes, and her personality is like Su Mo's—bold yet meticulous.

She's 1.69 meters tall, a real beauty.

However, because his personality is just like Su Mo's, and he thinks about tomb raiding all day long, Yingzi has been worried sick about him all these years.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Su Mo said, "Have your mom make me something to eat, I'm starving..."

"Okay, okay..."

……

After the Jude Kao incident ended, Su Mo enjoyed a rare period of leisure.

Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling have been staying at Wang Yueban's place, which is Panjiayuan, not far from Su Mo.

It's alright, Wu Xie and his two friends often come to visit.

With Wu Xie and others, along with the ever-restless Wang Kaixuan, Lao Hu, and others, Su Mo's Panjiayuan was particularly lively during this period.

During this period, Wu Xie also returned to Hangzhou.

He waited in Hangzhou for five whole days and finally managed to meet his third uncle.

At Wu Sansheng's secret base, the uncle and nephew had a deep conversation.

Can…

result!

Wu Xie, who was already in a state of confusion, became even more confused after hearing his third uncle's words.

What Wu Sansheng told him was completely different from what Qiu Dekao told him.

After analysis, Wu Xie felt that what Qiu Dekao said was even more reliable!

This makes things even more chaotic.

If that's the case, then why did his third uncle lie to him?

Intending to resolve all his doubts, after his third uncle went to the Wu family's old courtyard, he disappeared again the next morning!

With many doubts and complicated feelings.

Wu Xie returned to Kyoto to discuss his feelings with Wang Yueban.
