Chapter 1247: Chapter 1248 Going Home (1)

Ever since she lost her sight, An Yiqing longed for a cure more than ever before. She wanted to see her family and loved ones living healthily with her own eyes, instead of being a burden to them like she was now.

Seeming to perceive An Yiqing’s thoughts, Gu Yelin gently tapped her forehead with his own.

“What are you thinking about? If you keep letting your thoughts wander, I’ll spank you!”

An Yiqing, feeling downcast, blushed bright red at Gu Yelin’s words, and all her negative emotions vanished instantly. She reached out her delicate hands and lightly pinched Gu Yelin as if tickling him, then took out some healing medicine from the Ancient Space and simply treated his wounds.

Meanwhile, Ah Mi and Yin Xilin grabbed a large box of healing medicine and ran down from the platform to roughly tend to the injuries of the others, who were sprawled on the ground, half-dead.

After a short rest, everyone finally caught their breath and began discussing their next move.

“Let’s search! Once we find the mechanism, we can get out of here!” An Yiqing sat on the steps, her hands exploring the golden bricks on the ground, her thoughts unclear.

“How do we find it in such a vast place?! The Situ Family’s ancestors must have had too much money and didn’t know what to do with it. It’s just a tomb, why make it so elaborate, wasting so much effort and resources!”

Ah Mi shot an angry glare at Cao Xiaosha for complaining, and fiercely shouted, “What are you saying?! What did my family’s ancestors ever do to offend you?! What does it matter to you if they had money to spare?!”

Cao Xiaosha was startled, suddenly recalling that Ah Mi was a descendant of the Situ family. He awkwardly scratched his nose, his eyes darting around nervously.

However, An Yiqing’s eyes lit up upon hearing Cao Xiaosha’s words.

“Ah Mi, come here.”

Pulling Ah Mi over, An Yiqing murmured in the corner with her for quite some time. When they returned, Ah Mi’s expression was peculiar, as if she was crying, yet smiling, with a hint of helplessness and excitement, making Cao Xiaosha shiver with goosebumps.

“Miss, what did you say to Ah Mi?” An Zhifeng asked quietly.

An Yiqing gave a meaningful smile and shook her head lightly. Gu Yelin gazed at her helplessly, as if seeing the words “money-grubber” written on her delicate face.

“Search separately for the mechanism. Let’s get ready to go home!”

After some commotion, they finally found the mechanism to open the tomb on one of the steps of the platform.

They helplessly glared at the tiny protrusion on the vast steps, cursing Situ Ming in their hearts once again with fervor. Why be so paranoid? Why be so sly? It was just a mechanism for an exit, why didn’t he put it on the ceiling instead?!

An Yiqing extended a finger and slowly pressed down on the mechanism. A grinding sound of stone rubbing against stone gradually echoed through the platform. At the end of the golden coffin, the stone wall slowly cracked open, revealing a crevice, and a person-sized stony opening appeared in the wall.

“You all go first; I have something to take care of.”

“Miss, what is it? Do you need our help?” An Zhifeng asked.

An Yiqing shook her head and waved them off, “No, you’re all injured. Hurry up and leave! Ah Lin can stay and help me.”

With no choice, An Zhifeng and the others nodded unwillingly, grimacing in pain as they made their way out through the stone opening. Ah Mi, on the other hand, eagerly eyed An Yiqing before leaving, her small eyes clearly spelling out the words “money-grubber.”

After everyone left, the silent Gu Yelin spoke up.
