Chapter 33

When Ye Chu asked this question, Bai Bao and he both fell silent!

Undoubtedly, Ye Chu had ulterior motives from the start when he treated Bai Bao! He didn't know if Bai Bao had any other thoughts, but after so many days of interaction, Ye Chu found that Bai Bao was not a simple person. Moreover, they got along very well, and if it could be avoided, Ye Chu naturally didn't want to have a falling out!

Bai Bao stared straight at the young man in front of him, equally surprised! He didn't resent Ye Chu's ulterior motives for treating him, because Bai Bao was very clear: why would someone save you for no reason? Besides, if Ye Chu hadn't saved him, he would already be dead! Ye Chu was also his savior!

What surprised Bai Bao was that Ye Chu was not simple. From Ye Chu's tone, it was clear that Ye Chu was very familiar with the Great General's tomb!

"How do you know so much about the Great General's tomb?" Bai Bao asked Ye Chu.

"I once entered it and almost died, so I have some understanding," Ye Chu answered directly, without hiding anything!

"You entered it and came out alive?" Bai Bao found it unbelievable. He had special means to enter and almost died, and he couldn't believe that Ye Chu had also entered.

"I didn't go to the deepest part! The evil aura erupted, so I had to retreat!" Ye Chu sighed, "On the contrary, I was very surprised that Uncle Bai could enter. From Uncle Bai's strength, it seems he hasn't reached the third level of 'cultivating one's own primordial spirit.' To be able to enter the deepest part and come out alive with just the strength of the 'transformation of the realm' is too incredible!"

Bai Bao didn't deny it: "You're not bad either! A person with such a bad reputation in Yaocheng, yet you show the courage to enter the Great General's tomb. It seems everyone in Yaocheng has underestimated you. I'm curious, what is your identity?"

Bai Bao stared at Ye Chu. He knew Pang Shao's identity well, but the fact that Ye Chu could kick Pang Shao around proved his extraordinary nature!

Ye Chu shrugged: "It doesn't matter! Even if I told you, you might not know!"

Bai Bao neither confirmed nor denied, and didn't ask Ye Chu anymore. He took a deep breath and said, "I might as well tell you! Entering the Great General's tomb relies on a special family technique that can avoid triggering the tomb's traps and evil aura. However, it's still extremely dangerous. My eldest daughter and son-in-law died because of this. This time, if it weren't for your treatment, I wouldn't have escaped either."

"What did Uncle Bai get from this trip?" Ye Chu asked the question he most wanted to know, "It's said that the Great General has a great secret and treasures inside. Did Uncle Bai take anything out this time?"

Bai Bao didn't answer directly: "This time, many people followed me into the Great General's tomb because of me, though we didn't reach the deepest part. We still got quite a few good things. If you want, you can try to take some from them. There will be some things that will surprise you!"

Seeing Bai Bao change the subject, Ye Chu smiled and said, "Can I assume that Uncle Bai did get something good?"

"Think what you want," Bai Bao laughed, "But don't even think about getting anything from me. These past few days, you've been asking Bai Xuan about things indirectly. I know very well. I'm telling you clearly, even if I got something, I didn't put it in this house!"

"Damn!" Ye Chu couldn't help but curse. He had long suspected this possibility.

"Fine! If Uncle Ye doesn't want to say, I won't force you. But the treatment fee for saving you is still due! A life is priceless. Asking for a few hundred thousand gold coins shouldn't be too much, right?" Ye Chu said. He wouldn't do a losing business. He had already given you a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, so he couldn't leave empty-handed!

"Can you find that much gold by tearing down this house?" Bai Bao ignored Ye Chu's words, thinking this guy really knew how to ask for a lot!

"Fine, it's okay if you don't have it! Then Uncle Bai, teach me the special technique you used to enter the Great General's tomb! We'll call it even for the treatment fee!" Ye Chu smiled at Bai Bao, getting to the point!

Originally, Ye Chu thought Bai Bao would definitely refuse, but to his surprise, Bai Bao fell silent for a long time after Ye Chu's words. After a while, he sighed and said to Ye Chu, "It's a family secret, and shouldn't be passed on to outsiders! But if you really want to learn, I can teach you!"

"..." Ye Chu looked at Bai Bao in surprise. He knew the value of the Great General's tomb, where treasures were worth a fortune, and even the imperial family coveted it. Could Bai Bao really be willing to give it up?

"Don't be too happy about it! The Great General's tomb is far more dangerous than you can imagine, even with my technique. A slight mistake, and you'll die for sure," Bai Bao said, "Learning it might not be a good thing for you."

Bai Bao paused and continued, "To be honest, I don't want you to learn it! You're a decent kid, and I don't want you to die too early!"

"Who are you trying to fool?" Ye Chu rolled his eyes, not believing Bai Bao's lies, thinking he was trying to scare him off.

Bai Bao smiled but didn't explain. Too many people from their clan had died in the Great General's tomb. By the time it reached his line, only Bai Xuan and he were left! Bai Bao didn't want Bai Xuan to take the risk, but he also didn't want the family technique to be lost. Teaching it to Ye Chu was fine!

Moreover, from Ye Chu's demeanor, it was clear he had an extraordinary master! Perhaps he really had the ability to bring the Great General's tomb to light!

Of course, this was irrelevant to Bai Bao. He had already gotten what he needed! Although there were many treasures in the Great General's tomb, some of which were as valuable as what he had obtained, only what he took was the most suitable for his clan!

"By the way! There's one more thing I need to ask Uncle Bai!" Ye Chu suddenly remembered his purpose for returning to Yaocheng and asked, "It's said that there's a unique copy of the Red Evil in Yaocheng! Uncle Bai has lived in Yaocheng for decades, have you heard of it?"

"You're looking for it?" Bai Bao's eyes twitched, looking at Ye Chu in great surprise. He had heard of this unique copy, but it was useless to ordinary cultivators. Only the strongest cultivators would be interested.

In the entire Yaoguo, there were no great cultivators. Even in the empire, those who could be called great cultivators were rare! Yet, now, a seventeen-year-old Ye Chu was looking for this thing!

"Uncle Bai knows?" Ye Chu was overjoyed. He had almost given up, but he didn't expect such a turn of events.

"I do know!" Bai Bao said, "This thing was confiscated by the palace over ten years ago and has been hidden there. No one can understand it. If it weren't for my father mentioning it, I wouldn't even know about this unique copy. Where did you hear about it?"

"In the palace?!" Ye Chu frowned, not expecting it to be so troublesome! Taking something from the palace was almost impossible!
