The ancestral hall had actually been cleaned up thoroughly, but Cheng Ji still pulled Zhang Qiling in to pay their respects and burn some incense.

It took a while for the two of them to step out.

Cheng Ji closed the door of the ancestral hall and walked to a step at the entrance to the rooftop where Zhang Qiling was standing.

The noise from under the sacred tree came up. Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling looked at each other and did not move. They just stood aside, waiting for the two people below to find the correct way to come up.

"I have already shut down the bloodline authority. They should be able to get up now." Although Cheng Ji said this, the calmness and confidence on his face could not deceive anyone. It's not like he hasn't seen the true strength of Wu Xie and the others. For them, it is only a matter of time before they discover this mechanism.

As expected, as Cheng Ji expected, after a short while, a small basket made of vines came up to the entrance of the rooftop again and invited the two people up in a not-so-gentle manner.

Because his behavior was not very polite, even a bit rude, Wu Xie, who was already a little frightened, screamed out loud.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

Cheng Ji raised his hands to cover his ears with a little disgust.

To be honest, who could have thought that Wu Xie, this fresh and refined young man, who is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, would completely shatter the filter he had when he sang this song.

It was not until the vines grabbed them and put them both on the flat ground on the rooftop that Wu Xie was forcibly muted by the branches of the vines.

After finally calming down for a while, the vines loosened his grip. He looked up and saw Cheng Ji standing there, and screamed again.

"Ghost!"

At this time, Zhang Qiling had already hidden in the dark, and the only person Wu Xie could see was Cheng Ji.

Cheng Ji raised his eyebrows, looking at the already somewhat chaotic scene in front of him. For a moment, he wanted to let the vines seal his mouth.

"I said, where did the ghost come from?"

When Wu Xie heard Cheng Ji's question, his eyes widened: "If it's not a ghost, then what is it? How could you appear here?!"

Cheng Ji walked down the steps, crossed his arms and sneered: "Why can't I be here? This is my home. Is there anything strange about me being in my home?"

After being led by Cheng Ji, Fatty Wang actually felt that there was some truth in what he said, and nodded seriously: "It seems to be true."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly at Fatty Wang who was being led into the ditch. He had discovered that this fat man had no resistance to good-looking people, regardless of gender, and that what beautiful women said was always right.

But can this be right?!

They had taken so much trouble to get in, and even when they came in they checked repeatedly for a long time, and it was clear that there was no sign that anyone had come in first, and they had been guarding the mechanism door there for such a long time.

So Cheng Ji must have come in after them, and he was the mastermind who led them here!

Of course, Wu Xie didn't even need to ask these questions, Cheng Ji responded directly in the next second: "I'm waiting here for you to come up."

He didn't say when he came in, but he indirectly admitted that he was the mastermind behind it.

"Why?" Wu Xie looked at Cheng Ji and asked his first question.

He chose the task he was going to take on without hesitation, but that doesn't mean Wu Xie understands why Cheng Ji did this.

Cheng Ji lowered his head and chuckled: "I thought you were going to ask me about that family."
