“You’re not planning to dig out inch by inch with that shovel, are you?” Bei Yutang asked with a smile.
“Trying to get information out of me? You’re still too green. But if you beg me, I might consider telling you if I’m in a good mood.” Feng Qing looked at her with a wicked smile.
Bei Yutang’s lips curled up slightly. She said calmly, “Take your time digging. I hope you find your treasure soon.”
With that, she turned and left.
On her way back, Bei Yutang caught sight of someone on a cliff not far away. She was about to go closer when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted her shoulder.
“Sister Bei.” Li Mengmeng’s sweet voice sounded from behind.
Bei Yutang turned around and met Li Mengmeng’s sweet smile.
“Sister Bei, how about we go treasure hunting together? If we do, we can split the prize money equally, okay?”
Li Mengmeng, afraid Bei Yutang wouldn’t agree, said hurriedly, “Searching alone is too dangerous. It’ll be safer if we go together.”
“Okay.”
Bei Yutang was reluctant to agree, but finally nodded in agreement.
When Bei Yutang looked back at the cliff, there was no one there.
“Sister Bei, what are you looking at?”
Li Mengmeng followed her gaze; there was only a patch of bare rocks ahead.
“Let’s go check over there.”
“Okay.”
The two of them headed toward the cliff. As they approached, the area was nothing but jagged rocks, let alone any human figures. There were absolutely no hiding places; anyone she saw should have to jump into the sea to escape her notice.
Bei Yutang walked to the edge of the cliff to examine it, looking for signs of human activity.
“Sister Bei, don’t walk so close to the edge, be careful not to fall.” Li Mengmeng said nervously from a short distance away.
Bei Yutang noticed her strange expression: “Are you afraid of heights?”
Li Mengmeng nodded: “Let’s go. There’s nothing here. Based on my analysis, the castle owner’s belongings must be inside the castle, not outside.”
Bei Yutang nodded casually, but her mind was already wandering.
She had clearly seen someone on the cliff just now; how could the person have disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Li Mengmeng chattered on and on, but seeing no response, she turned her head and saw Bei Yutang lost in thought.
“Sister Bei, Sister Bei…” Li Mengmeng waved repeatedly in front of her.
Bei Yutang snapped out of her daze: “What’s wrong?”
“Sister Bei, I asked Ah Hua earlier. When their master came last time, he stayed in the rooms on the east side. Let’s go look there.”
The castle was vast, with numerous guest rooms, and the main guest rooms were concentrated on the west side, which was where they were staying.
“Okay.”
It was clear that the young girl was genuinely frightened and didn’t dare to go over there, which was why she came to her. Since they didn’t have any clues anyway, they might as well go for a walk.
Actually, she had another plan in mind.
She always felt that this castle was eerie, with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
And this was a good opportunity to explore the castle.
The two of them quickly set off, heading toward the eastern wing. As soon as they entered the long, dark corridor, Bei Yutang felt a chill run down her spine, as if something had blown past her.
“It’s so cold.” Li Mengmeng instinctively hugged her arms tighter.
“Sister Bei, do you feel cold?”
