Chapter 272 The Ancestral Hall

His question, it must be said, stumped Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao.

After much deliberation, they still couldn't come up with a concrete answer.

They could only shake their heads and say, "No, we really don't know what's going on!"

They thought for a long time, but ultimately couldn't figure out the situation.

Li Qingfeng smiled calmly at their state and said to them, "Alright then, I'll tell you what's happening here, how about that?"

"You know?"

Wen Lingyun was incredibly surprised. If she remembered correctly, Li Qingfeng had only been walking around the village for a few hours, yet he seemed to understand everything so clearly?

Yue Miao, standing beside her, knew nothing, yet he knew everything?

Faced with this situation, they were all highly suspicious.

Seeing their disbelief, Li Qingfeng felt helpless.

He could only explain, "You can't blame me for this. You didn't ask me directly just now!"

"Then tell us, what is the most important place in Fengchen Village?"

When this question was asked, Yue Miao seemed incredibly surprised.

She had lived there for so many years and didn't even know what their most important place was.

Otherwise, why would they always be in this situation?

Li Qingfeng directly pointed to the center of the village, where a large complex of buildings stood, particularly conspicuous in this impoverished little village.

The buildings were dark red throughout, with wisps of smoke occasionally drifting out. Such structures were quite common in feudal villages.

Li Qingfeng's own village, Mopan Gou, had a place like this!

"What is this?"

Wen Lingyun asked curiously.

To be honest, she couldn't figure out what was going on inside.

"Don't you see? This is the ancestral hall! No wonder you couldn't escape even after trying four or five times. You haven't even gotten to know the village thoroughly. If you could escape, it would be supernatural!"

Looking at the situation, Li Qingfeng said helplessly.

"Does the law require me to be familiar with every village?"

Wen Lingyun exclaimed indignantly, looking at Li Qingfeng's irritating demeanor.

"The law requires you to respect the customs of the place when you visit a mountain village!"

Li Qingfeng retorted without hesitation.

In a normal conversation, he might not have been able to out-argue the other person.

But when it came to this, he could easily beat her by ten streets. After all, his experiences at Huaqing were etched in his memory.

To prevent a recurrence of past mistakes, Li Qingfeng had memorized the entire legal code, thousands of articles, and dared not forget a single one!

Wen Lingyun couldn't help but be shocked by this.

It was the first time she had been so thoroughly defeated by someone.

What's more, the reason for her defeat left her with no room to argue.

"You..."

She could only open her mouth in speechlessness, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, you can't argue with me, because what I'm saying is the truth." Li Qingfeng pointed to the ancestral hall in the distance and spoke directly.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? It's none of your business. Hurry up, let's go take a look. Once it's completely dawn, we won't be able to leave!"

Seeing the situation, Li Qingfeng took the lead and rushed over.

Looking at what was ahead, he was momentarily speechless.

To be honest, Li Qingfeng had only a rough guess about this matter.

He had used his X-ray vision to peek at the location of the ancestral hall earlier, but he hadn't seen the situation inside clearly.

However, if nothing went wrong, there should still be a chance.

Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng quickly turned to look at Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao behind him and said to them, "Be careful when you go in later, don't run around!"

"Don't worry, we'll be careful. I wouldn't joke about my daughter's safety!"

Yue Miao replied directly.

Seeing this, Li Qingfeng was finally completely at ease.

At least, with Ping'er around, Yue Miao would definitely not act recklessly.

As dawn broke, the mountain village was exceptionally quiet, as if a golden ocean had been sprinkled upon it.

The four of them would occasionally pause on the mountain path. There were more or less sound-based traps around the houses.

Li Qingfeng dodged them constantly, fearing that he might accidentally fall to the ground and trigger a mechanism.

The consequences thereafter were imaginable: the entire village would rush out to capture Li Qingfeng and the others.

If they were caught again, there would be no escape!

"I'll go in first, you be careful later!"

Li Qingfeng said, looking at the situation ahead.

After ten minutes of walking, they finally saw what was ahead: a four-story mansion.

It was indeed rare to see such an ancient-looking mansion in this era.

"This is extraordinary!"

Li Qingfeng was somewhat astonished upon seeing this.

He gave some instructions to the people behind him and walked in first.

Perhaps because it was an ancestral hall, there was no one guarding it.

So Li Qingfeng encountered nothing as he entered.

But don't think things were that simple; they were far from it.

There were many things here, making it look like a very ordinary place.

From its appearance, it was clearly a place of great importance in their eyes.

After all, other parts of the village were not cleaned, but this ancestral hall was spotless, and the incense sticks seemed to be replaced daily.

"Very well done!"

Li Qingfeng couldn't help but praise upon seeing this scene.

Although these fellows weren't very reliable, they still seemed somewhat effective.

"If nothing goes wrong, those things are very likely to be hidden here!"

"Search carefully later. If you see any place where things might be hidden, tell me."

Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and said very seriously.

"Don't worry!"

"There are so many of us! If we really want to find it, we can definitely find it."

Looking at Li Qingfeng, Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao thought for a moment and said.

"Then I can rest assured!"

Li Qingfeng nodded seriously at them and walked in first.
