"It’s not very high below, but the space is large, and there’s no sign of anyone for now." Yang Ruxin looked at Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng nodded, "Let’s go down and take a look." He gestured briefly.
Gu Qiao pulled out a rope, tying one end to a branch above.
Gu Qingheng wrapped his arm around Yang Ruxin’s waist, and with a tug on the rope, they jumped down.
Gu Qiao and Du Yunpeng followed suit, while the others remained above, waiting for news.
Lun Dou quietly tugged at Huang Dou.
Huang Dou shook his head, indicating that sneaking down on their own wouldn’t be advisable; Hei Dou wouldn’t agree, and their parents would be angry if they found out.
Lun Dou felt instantly deflated.
By this time, Gu Qingheng had already landed, and Yang Ruxin took out a torch and lit it. But before everyone could move forward, Yang Ruxin sniffed the air, her expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed, "Quickly, get out!"
Although the crowd didn’t understand, they trusted her completely. Gu Qingheng picked her up and pulled on the rope to go back up.
Gu Qiao and Du Yunpeng followed suit.
"Hurry and leave." On reaching the ground, Yang Ruxin shouted, and didn’t forget to move Dabai into the space.
Even though the others didn’t know what was happening, those above reacted rapidly upon hearing the shout, grabbing the three beans and running outside.
Just as everyone exited the grove, a sudden explosion sounded from behind them.
The group turned back with a lingering fear, seeing that the graveyard they had just left had collapsed entirely. Some trees were even igniting.
"What happened?" Du Juan asked while patting her chest anxiously.
"It must be another conspiracy by the Saint Lord." Yang Ruxin couldn’t explain the principle behind methane or similar gases, "He knows we’ve discovered his traces, and just now we foiled his trick. So he guessed we would find his lair, and left traps while escaping."
"Thank goodness madam you reacted quickly." Du Chengxiu exhaled, "Otherwise..." Otherwise, it would have been total annihilation.
"The smell down below was off." Yang Ruxin exhaled.
"Let’s leave here first." Gu Qingheng glanced around.
Everyone promptly withdrew from West Mountain.
Meanwhile, Mark’s men stationed around the area returned without finding anything unusual.
"Keep monitoring." Gu Qingheng glanced at Mark.
Mark nodded, then made further arrangements.
The group returned to the Du Family.
"Madam, if we didn’t capture that Saint Lord, wouldn’t he cause trouble again?" Du Juan expressed her worry.
"He definitely will," Yang Ruxin nodded.
"But he’s operating from the shadows," Du Juan sighed.
"So what?" Yang Ruxin smiled, "He brought few people, and most of them are already dead. Unless he recruits again or someone aids him, he’ll slowly end up all alone. At that point, whether he’s dead or alive won’t matter."
Du Juan nodded, holding back her comments.
In the following days, Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng didn’t take any action. Instead, they took the kids around, visiting almost all of Quanzhou’s tourist spots and sampling every street food.
During this time, Yang Ruxin’s maid Yang Mingjin, Shadow Six Gu Ning, Shadow Eight Gu Yuan, and Lin Xiwang, all arrived. Xiangru returned to Du Juan’s side.
However, they didn’t bring along the three beans’ little companions.
Of course, it wasn’t just about sightseeing and eating, Yang Ruxin also went to the Duo Family to meet the current heads, Duo Tianwen and Duo Hui. Eventually, they reached a partnership agreement, investing in the Duo Family’s maritime passenger ships.
