Chapter 98 Family Heirloom
Lu Yundi breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not let down her guard. The strangeness in the ancient tomb was far more than this.
She continued to move forward, the tomb passage became narrower and narrower, and the light became darker and darker.
At this moment, she heard a low chant coming from the front. She was startled and quickened her pace.
Finally, they arrived at a spacious tomb. In the center of the tomb, the old marquis was being besieged by a group of strange bats, each of which exuded a strange aura.
Lu Yundi rushed over without hesitation, wielding her dagger and repelling the bats. She came to the old marquis and asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?"
The old marquis shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Di'er, you're here. I'm fine, but these bats are a bit troublesome."
Lu Yundi held the dagger tightly, his eyes determined: "Father, let's leave here quickly, I will protect you."
The old marquis looked at Lu Yundi with approval in his eyes, but also a little worried. He gently patted Lu Yundi's hand and smiled, "Di'er, you are getting braver and braver, I am very pleased. However, we can't leave here easily, there are still clues we need in this tomb."
Lu Yundi was slightly stunned, then he understood what the old marquis meant.
The old marquis has been committed to finding treasure, and these ancient tombs are the key to their search for treasure.
She nodded and said firmly, "Father, I understand. We will be careful and find the treasure."
The bats in the tomb seemed to be frightened by Lu Yundi's courage and retreated to the corner, emitting a strange atmosphere. The old marquis and Lu Yundi slowly walked into the depths of the tomb, their eyes wandering on the walls of the tomb, expecting to find some clues.
At this moment, the old marquis suddenly found a stone tablet in a corner of the tomb with some vague words engraved on it. He immediately walked over and carefully observed the stone tablet.
Lu Yundi also followed. Looking at the old marquis' focused eyes, she couldn't help feeling a little curious.
The old marquis studied it for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lu Yundi with a gleam of joy in his eyes: "Di'er, look, the words on this stone tablet are exactly the clues to the treasure we are looking for. We are one step closer to the treasure."
Lu Yundi also looked at the words on the stele, her eyes flashing with excitement, but she still remained calm.
There were more bats and their aura was even more bizarre. Lu Yundi held the dagger tightly and bravely stood in front of the old marquis.
Lu Yundi looked back at the old marquis, smiled and said, "Father, I will always protect you." Then, she waved her dagger and rushed towards the bat again.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the bat and found the clue to the treasure. Following the clue, they came to the depths of the tomb, where there was a huge stone door with a mysterious phoenix carved on it.
The old marquis looked at the stone door, walked over, and pushed it open with force. Inside was a huge secret room. In the center of the secret room, there was a huge treasure chest.
When they were ecstatic, the bats in the tomb suddenly reappeared, with strange lights flashing in their eyes, and attacked them. Lu Yundi immediately waved his dagger to protect the old marquis.
At this moment, the old marquis suddenly took out something from the treasure chest, which was a shining jade pendant. He picked up the jade pendant and waved it at the bats. The bats were immediately frightened by the light of the jade pendant and retreated.
The old marquis looked at Lu Yundi and said with a smile: "Di'er, look, this is the guardian of the treasure. With it, we can leave here peacefully."

While eating, Yan Canglan couldn't help but ask Lu Yundi: "Mother, what are the eldest aunt and the second aunt doing here?"
Just as Lu Yundi was about to answer, Yan Shuqin on the side said, "Don't mention it, we're almost pissed off!"
Yan Canglan frowned slightly and looked at his sister in confusion.
Lu Yundi sighed softly, motioned Yan Canglan not to speak, and then slowly said: "They came here this time to discuss an important matter within the family."
Yan Shuqin snorted, her face full of displeasure: "What's the big deal? It's all about the ancestral jade pendant! They have been eyeing this treasure and trying every way to get it."
A trace of doubt flashed across Yan Canglan's eyes: "Ancestral jade pendant? Why is it so important?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of deepness in his eyes: "This jade pendant is not only a family heirloom of the Yan family, but also related to the fate of our family. According to legend, there is an important message hidden in the jade pendant that can guide the future rise and fall of the Yan family."
Yan Shuqin curled her lips in disdain: "They both think they are great because they are the wife of the first wife, but in fact they are full of calculations. This time they joined forces and wanted to force us to hand over the jade pendant."
Yan Canglan's face suddenly became serious, with a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "Mother, we must not let them succeed!"
Lu Yundi nodded, his eyes revealing a firm belief: "Yes, this jade pendant is the foundation of our Yan family, and it must not fall into the hands of others. However, if we want to keep the jade pendant, we must first understand their purpose."
Yan Shuqin said anxiously: "Then what should we do? They are so numerous and powerful, we are no match for them at all."
Lu Yundi gently patted Yan Shuqin's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have a plan. This time, we have to win by wits."
Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin followed their mother's instructions and closely monitored the movements of their first and second aunts. They found that the two aunts were walking around the house, seemingly looking for something.
One night, Yan Canglan secretly followed his aunt and found that she came to the library alone. Yan Canglan hid in the dark and saw his aunt take a book from the bookshelf, turn one of the pages, and a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes.
Yan Canglan's heart moved, and he immediately returned to tell his mother. After hearing this, Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "They finally couldn't help but take action. It seems that they have found clues about the jade pendant."
The next day, the Yan family held a grand family dinner. The eldest aunt and the second aunt were all smiles, and seemed to be confident that they would get the jade pendant. Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin nervously watched their every move.
Halfway through the family dinner, my aunt suddenly suggested playing a game, saying it was to enhance family affection. Everyone looked at her in confusion, not knowing what she was up to.
My aunt smiled and explained, "This game is very simple. Everyone takes turns to answer a question, and if they answer incorrectly, they have to perform a show."
Yan Canglan's heart moved, and he immediately understood his aunt's intention. She wanted to use the game to force him to reveal the whereabouts of the jade pendant.
The game started, and everyone took turns answering questions. Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin were very careful, afraid of revealing flaws. Finally, it was the eldest aunt's turn to ask questions. She looked at Yan Canglan with a smile: "Yan Canglan, do you know where the family heirloom jade pendant is hidden?"
Yan Canglan's heart tightened, but he was already prepared, and he answered calmly: "Of course I know, the jade pendant is in my mother's room."
