Chapter 469: Asking a Master to Help the Ying Family Once

ly was slaughtered. Blood flowed like a river that night. Men, women, the elderly, and children – none were spared. The other side killed them all, leaving not a single survivor. 。So many people! They...The Yufu had a secret room, inside which was not gold, silver, or jewels, but the most ingenious creations of master craftsmen throughout history. 。There are the most exquisite jewelry and ornaments, as well as exquisitely crafted small objects, ingenious chairs, beds, and other furniture, and there are also small and delicate locks, said to be the most difficult to open in the world. 。A master craftsman is not just someone who can make jewelry. What the family specializes in is ingenuity. Many creations in this world were brought to life by the hands of the Ying family, and many intricate mechanisms are also entrusted to them. 。The > 。Though the things in a hidden chamber may seem less valuable than gold, silver, and jewels, any single item taken out could cause a huge stir and become something that everyone wants. 。From the moment each artisan finishes his training, he begins to conceive of the masterpiece that will define his life, just as every emperor upon ascending the throne begins to construct his tomb. 。In their hearts, to have their work enter the innermost sanctum of the renowned Yujia is the pinnacle of their lives. 。Besides the master's own work, which will always remain in the secret chamber, all other family members who create something recognized by the family will also be inducted into the secret chamber. 。They dedicated their whole lives to this goal, while also putting all their family's resources into protecting the Ying family's secret chamber. 。A secret room must have mechanisms, and those mechanisms are all the work of the Ying family. Each head of the household will, before their lifespan ends, personally set a mechanism that only the next head of the household can solve. 。Ying Peng also went, and after setting up the mechanism, he also passed on the method of cracking it to Ying Nantian. 。But no one expected that after just over two hours, the secret room would malfunction and initiate self-destruction. 。The self-destructive design was originally intended as a protection, to destroy everything in the secret room when the family faced a major disaster, ensuring that those things would not fall into the hands of thieves. 。At present, the situation is merely a family funeral, not a catastrophe. Why would self-destruction be activated Ying Nantian immediately sprinted towards the direction of the secret chamber. Other members of his clan followed suit, and the spirit hall descended into chaos. 。Ye Wen took the opportunity to grab the messenger and asked, "Why did the mechanism self-destruct Was someone inside" The man shook his head. "No one entered, there were no accidents, it just suddenly activated on its own." 。"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for not taking the head of the family seriously and not speaking up. It's all my fault!" He was filled with remorse, constantly pounding his own head. 。Ye Wenyan put his arm on the man's shoulder, and a silent calming spell flowed through him. The man immediately calmed down and continued, "The head of the family sat in the secret chamber until he died. He said he wanted to take one last look at the family treasure before he passed, and that he wanted to see something very important." 。At that time, he was already not feeling well, so I supported him and opened a box according to his request. 。

That box is empty.

“He looked puzzled, “After the head of the family saw that it was an empty box, he got flustered and said something was wrong. He said that someone had been to the secret room and taken things away.” 。At this time, several noises came from the bottom of the box. The head of the house said, "Oh no, the self-destruct mechanism is about to be activated! I have to go and inform the clan members to come in and transfer the items." 。 。Later, our family busied ourselves with funeral arrangements. I was so caught up in the preparations that I didn't have time to think about anything else. When the chaos subsided, I realized that the noises from the secret room had also vanished. 。Then I thought the head of the house must have been delirious before his death because he said those words. After all, besides each successive head of the house, no one else could enter the secret room. 。I'm also entering for the first time today, and I still have the master leading me in. All the mechanisms are operated by the master, I couldn't possibly enter a second time. 。“ He spoke clearly enough, Ye Wenyan probably understood. 。Yingjia's secret room was missing something, and Yingpeng also discovered that the self-destruction mechanism was about to be activated. However, he couldn't last until Ying Nantian and the others arrived before he died. 。And that self-destructing mechanism, for some unknown reason, did not activate immediately. Instead, it waited several hours, leading the guards of the chamber to misjudge the situation and fail to report it in time. 。Now the bureau should be stirring again, and that's why he has come to report. 。"You are Miss Ye Si, aren't you I've seen you before" 。Thank you for coming to pay respects to the former master. Please have a seat here for a moment, I need to go to the secret room over there. 。 。Ye Wen pulled him over, pondered for a moment, and said: "About the missing things in the secret room, don't tell the clan for now." 。“ He hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. " 。Only Ye Wenyan and Ji Rong Zhuier remained in the mourning hall, Ye Wenyan walked to the brazier and bent over to pick up the scattered paper money that had been dropped in the rush. 。

Zhu'er and Ji Rong were also picking up things. Zhu'er picked while saying, "It seems that in the minds of the Ying family members, the secret room is more important than the head of the house."

The master of the house is still here, the fire in the brazier hasn't gone out yet, and the incense hasn't burned out. They said they were leaving and they all ran away, not a single person left. Do these people still have any family affection Who knows how much treasure there is in the secret room, is it enough for them to share 。Yet, Ji Rong had heard some stories about the Ying family and began to recount legends about the Ying family's secret chamber. 。Ye Wenyan listened as she threw paper money into the fire pit. By the time Ying Nantian returned with his family, she had lit a new incense stick and apologized to them: "I'm so sorry, I used your incense again." 。Because there was no one left at the spiritual hall, and the incense for the deceased had burned out, which would be considered taboo. That's why I meddled and lit another one. 。Now that you are back, it's time for me to leave. As for your accusations against me before, I will pretend I never heard them. Of course, I won't use the power that old Mr. gave me to make any demands of your family. 。After all, I've also seen that in your hearts, Mr. Ying doesn't carry much weight. 。She was about to turn and leave when Ying Nantian panicked and reached out to grab her sleeve, but Ji Rong stopped him. 。"Master " 。He pleaded bitterly, "Master, please help Yingjia. We were wrong. Please help Yingjia." 。He spoke, addressing Ye Wen with a kneel. "The secret room cannot be destroyed. Once it is destroyed, the Ying family will be finished." 。A family without the legacy of its ancestors is nothing. The Ying family cannot lose that secret room. Please, Master, help us! 。"Ye Wen looked, frowning. Then he looked around at the Ying family members, his brows furrowing even deeper. " 。Ying Nan Tian bowed to her as his master, kneeling was naturally what he should do. 。

As others were unaware of the true details, they could only watch as 32-year-old Ying Peng knelt before a girl of fifteen or sixteen. It seemed that Miss Ye Si was abusing her power.

Then someone stepped forward to help him up, even an elderly gentleman who looked to be over fifty years old. 。He said, “Nantian, your second uncle is gone. You are the next head of the Ying family. Your status is noble. How can you be infatuated with a commoner woman without rank If her grandfather or father were here today, you would kneel before them and we wouldn't say a word.” 。A general who died for his country deserves the respect of all people. 。"But what is her status You knelt before her, putting our family's face in the dirt! Quickly get up!" "Fifth Uncle!" Ying Nanttian raised his head and looked at the man, shouting loudly, "Miss Ye Si is my master. I paid respects to her as her disciple at Qiqiao Pavilion, and now I work for her outside." 。"I didn't want to be the head of the household in the first place. I just wanted to spend my life learning from my master, improving my skills and broadening my horizons. Uncle Five, you must understand, it is perfectly natural for a disciple to kowtow to their master! I wouldn't lose face doing it." "Why would you bow down to her as your master" The Fifth Uncle was so angry his whole body trembled. "What could she possibly teach you" "The art of refining gold! And the 24-hour clock that Uncle Five saw at Qichaogong, it was all made by my master!" 。I told Uncle Wu about this a long time ago, but he didn't believe me. What can I do about it!” Ying Nantang was also anxious, “Right now the Ying family is in danger. If Uncle Wu doesn't want the secret room to be destroyed, then come with me and beg Master to help us!” 。The self-destructing mechanism of the secret room, none of us can do anything about it. The only hope we have now is to ask Master for help!

Wu Shu still didn't believe it. He shook his head repeatedly, "Too young, how could a teenager in their teens possibly understand the art of gold refining! How could they possibly make such a clock! Don't put her on a pedestal anymore, she may be pretty, but don't bet your whole life on her! Listen to Wu Shu, break off with her, don't go back to that jewelry shop, and return to Qiqiao Pavilion honestly. The Qiqiao Pavilion in the palace is where I belong!"

Ying Nantian was both angry and helpless. He simply stopped paying attention to Wu Shu and looked up at Ye Wenyan, "Master, please just speak to me alone. It's me who is asking Master for help, please Master lend a hand and help the Ying family get through this." 。After saying that, he turned back to the crowd and shouted, "All of you kneel down! Apologize for your nonsense! Beg Miss Ye Si for forgiveness, and ask her to give our family another chance!"The Ying family members knelt down in a daze. They apologized, but reluctantly. 。It's not that they truly believe they were wrong; they're just following the head of the household. 。Make them beg, and they won't be able to utter a word. 。They clearly have the same idea as Fifth Uncle. Ye Wenyan couldn't possibly handle this, the sealed chamber was already failing and about to collapse; no one could get in at this point. 。“You fellows are really something!” Yingnan’s face flushed red with anger, “In that case, does my position as head of the family even matter anymore” He waved his hand and flung the seal of office onto Fifth Uncle's lap. "Take it back yourselves! Whoever wants to be the head can have it. This is your only chance. From now on, I won’t concern myself with Ying Family affairs any longer!” 。After finishing, she looked at Ye Wen again, "Master, help me this once, just consider it as helping my deceased second uncle" 。Just ask the master to give it a try. No matter if it succeeds or fails, I won't come back to this house from now on. 。"

Ye Wenyan was rather helpless. He reached out and helped Ye Nantian up, then looked at the fifth uncle: "If the secret room is already a dead horse, why not let me try to heal it >>> 。You guys just see me as a miracle doctor, treating dead horses. Let's see if I can bring this dead horse back to life. 。"Uncle Wu sighed heavily, “Forget it, let's go and see! It can’t get any worse anyway.” 。When Nan Tian heard this, he was overjoyed and pulled Ye Wenyan to run. 。Ji Rong and Zhu'er immediately followed suit, and all the Ying family members followed as well. 。

Yingnantian’s insistence forced the Ying family to collectively consider a problem: If Yè Wēn yán truly saved the secret room, how should they face this little girl
