Chapter 75

When the icy cold air raged.

It wasn't just confined to the underground chamber.

Although the chamber was sealed very well, it was difficult to completely block out all the cold.

So, a trace of the icy cold air seeped out of the chamber, spreading to the surroundings of the villa!

Everyone in the villa felt an extreme cold, as if the weather had suddenly changed from a scorching summer to the coldest winter.

"What's going on?" Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, who were still busy at the computer, were extremely surprised.

"Quickly turn up the air conditioning!" Chu Xiaowei, shivering, hurriedly grabbed the remote control.

"Sister Xiaowei, quick!" Chen Jiaxin darted to the bed and hastily covered herself with a blanket, but the blanket couldn't stop the cold from penetrating.

Ding ding ding!

Chu Xiaowei quickly turned up the air conditioning and switched it from cooling to heating!

But it couldn't fully switch over in a short time. Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin had to huddle together under the blanket.

Even so, they were still shivering from the cold!

"Sister Xiaowei, what's happening? It's the middle of summer, how did it suddenly get so cold?" The air conditioner started blowing warm air, and Chen Jiaxin felt a little better.

"I don't know either!" Chu Xiaowei was puzzled, how could it suddenly turn from the hottest summer to the coldest winter? Who could explain it?

When Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin felt the cold, Fan Ming and the other servants in the villa also felt it.

Everyone's expressions were similar to Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin's—shocked, confused, and even frightened.

After all, such a sudden change from summer to winter was too hard to accept.

"Everyone, find a way to keep warm!" Fan Ming shouted and then rushed towards the underground chamber.

Fan Ming was also a cultivator and could sense the source of the cold air.

Thinking of Qin Muyu at the core of the cold air, Fan Ming was extremely anxious!

However, Fan Ming's reaction was quick.

But just as he arrived at the chamber door, three figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Pay respects to the Great Ancestor, the Patriarch, and the Lady..." Fan Ming hurriedly greeted.

"No need for formalities!" Qin Pengyi waved his hand, his face serious, and then looked at Qin Jintian and said, "Grandfather!"

"This cold... the chamber blocked over 95% of it!" Qin Jintian said solemnly, "Even I would have some trouble inside!"

"Grandfather, let's go in. Muyu..." Mi Gaolan's eyes instantly turned red, thinking of Qin Muyu's uncertain fate, she was extremely anxious.

"Grandfather!" Qin Pengyi was also very anxious.

"Wait a bit longer!" Qin Jintian waved his hand and said solemnly, "Trust Gu Fan; after all, he comes from the Immortal Doctor Sect!"

"Grandfather, the Immortal Doctor Sect can't cure everything! If the Immortal Doctor Sect were so miraculous, the Master of the Truth-Seeking Sect wouldn't have been helpless when Muyu was eight!" Mi Gaolan was very anxious, perhaps, perhaps if they didn't go in now, they would see Qin Muyu as an ice sculpture!

"Without the Master of the Truth-Seeking Sect, could Muyu have survived until now?" Qin Jintian glared at Mi Gaolan.

Mi Gaolan wanted to say more but held back, clearly不服气 (unconvinced), but was held back by Qin Pengyi.

"Grandfather, let's wait a bit longer!" Qin Pengyi squeezed Mi Gaolan's hand.

Mi Gaolan knew she had lost her composure, and she lowered her head in silence, but her anxiety did not lessen at all.

Qin Jintian looked at the tightly closed chamber door, appearing calm, but his heart was equally anxious!

Time slowly passed.

The intensity of the cold air gradually decreased.

To the point where no cold could be felt at all!

Qin Pengyi and Mi Gaolan's faces changed; the dissipation of the cold air did not mean that Qin Muyu was safe!

So the two immediately looked at Qin Jintian.

"Wait a bit longer!" Qin Jintian said solemnly.

Qin Pengyi and Mi Gaolan exchanged glances, thinking, could it be... could it be that Grandfather used his divine sense to check the situation in the chamber?

No, the construction of any chamber in the Qin family's courtyard included materials to block divine sense, even Grandfather couldn't see inside, right?

Thinking this, the two became worried again.

While waiting, a noisy sound came from a distance.

"Fan Ming, go see what's happening!" Qin Pengyi frowned slightly and said to Fan Ming, who had been standing by.

"Yes!" Fan Ming immediately left.

Soon, the noisy sound disappeared, and Fan Ming returned.

"What's happening?" Qin Pengyi asked.

"It's Mr. Gu's two friends. They also felt the temperature change and are now looking for Gu Fan. They insist on seeing him. I tried to calm them down, but they insist on... seeing Gu Fan!" Fan Ming said cautiously.

"What if they don't?" Qin Pengyi asked sternly.

"They, they might not calm down!" Fan Ming said with a bitter smile.

"Ridiculous... at such a crucial time, how can we allow them to cause trouble?" Mi Gaolan said sternly, "Fan Ming, no matter what, get rid of this trouble immediately! If it affects Muyu's treatment, can you take the responsibility?"

Fan Ming's face changed, and he was about to leave.

"Bring them over. We have nothing to hide, why be afraid?" Qin Jintian suddenly said.

"Grandfather, those two, Gu Fan is trying to keep them from knowing too much!" Qin Pengyi, surprised by Qin Jintian's sudden decision, hurriedly said.

"They are Gu Fan's friends, and from their concern, they care deeply about him. We can't disappoint them, and if we upset them, it might cause trouble with Gu Fan. Besides, this is a minor issue; with you here, can't you ensure that two ordinary people don't cause any trouble?" Qin Jintian glanced at Qin Pengyi and said calmly.

Qin Pengyi was drenched in cold sweat from Qin Jintian's gaze.

His composure as the patriarch had completely vanished.

"Go bring them over!" Qin Pengyi steadied himself; in the unclear situation, it wasn't wise to offend Gu Fan's friends, especially two beautiful women. Who knew how close they were to Gu Fan?

Too many things in this world have been ruined by women.

Fan Ming immediately left.

Soon, Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, full of curiosity, arrived at the entrance of the underground chamber...

The two had never imagined such a vast world existed beneath the villa, especially when they saw the heavy alloy door, they were amazed.

At the same time, Qin Jintian, Qin Pengyi, and Mi Gaolan came into their view...

"This is our young miss's great-grandfather, this is her father, and this is her mother!" Fan Ming introduced them to Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin.

"Great-grandfather, Uncle, Aunt, hello!" Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin exchanged glances, great-grandfather? How old must he be!

"Chu Xiaowei, Chen Jiaxin, right? Don't be surprised. Although Muyu doesn't want us to come, how can we not come? And how can we not get a slight understanding of who is with her now? Gu Fan is in the chamber, and he is treating Muyu. So, you can stay here, but don't speak, to avoid disturbing them, okay?" Qin Jintian smiled slightly and said.

Given Qin Jintian's status, his gentle tone with Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin showed how much he valued Gu Fan.

Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin both nodded.

The two sensed the heavy atmosphere and, despite their many questions, chose to bury them for now.

Everyone fell silent again.

However, everyone's eyes were fixed on the chamber door, each with their own thoughts.

Time slowly passed!

"Grandfather!" Every second was a torment for Mi Gaolan. She couldn't wait any longer!

"Do you have so little patience? If you disturb Muyu's treatment, if your rashness makes her condition worse... what will you do?" Qin Jintian said coldly.

"Grandfather, I understand, I understand everything you said. But I'm not just worried; my heart is aching! I feel something very bad has happened. Please believe a mother's intuition, can you?" Mi Gaolan mustered her courage, which was a strong rebuttal to Qin Jintian.

Qin Pengyi's face changed, and he tried to pull Mi Gaolan back.

But this time, Mi Gaolan dodged.

"Don't pull me! I am Muyu's mother. Every time her innate Yin Sha energy flares up, I have various sensations. So many times, I've never been wrong! Why would I be wrong this time? Yi, have you forgotten the blood connection between me and Muyu?" Mi Gaolan said resolutely.

Qin Pengyi was stunned, then looked at Qin Jintian and said, "Grandfather, I remember, she really has a special blood connection with Muyu!"

Qin Jintian's face also changed slightly, staring at Mi Gaolan.

Mi Gaolan did not back down, meeting Qin Jintian's gaze. Concerning her daughter, Mi Gaolan was completely determined.

Qin Jintian sighed slightly and said, "If you want to go in, then go. I hope your intuition is right!"

"Thank you, Grandfather!" Mi Gaolan was delighted and immediately looked at Fan Ming.

Fan Ming quickly ran up to open the chamber door!

The chamber door had a high-tech support system, and as the manager of the courtyard, Fan Ming usually managed it. In contrast, Mi Gaolan didn't know how to open the door at all.

Under Fan Ming's operation, the heavy door slowly opened.

"Who? No one is allowed to enter!" Before the door was fully open, a cold voice sounded.

"I am Muyu's mother!" Mi Gaolan darted forward, and as the door opened just a small gap, she slipped inside!

"Yi, Grandfather, don't come in!" Instantly, Mi Gaolan's trembling voice echoed, filled with panic and anger!
