Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Yang Xiaoyue directly, causing her to stand there like a sculpture, motionless.

Time seemed to have frozen, and only her eyes, which were wide open with shock, and her rapidly rising and falling chest, revealed the turmoil in her heart at that moment.

It was not until the passbook she was holding tightly in her hand slipped quietly to the ground with an extremely subtle but clearly audible "click" sound that it seemed to break the spell and pulled Yang Xiaoyue back to reality from her trance.

She opened her eyes wide as if waking up from a dream, her gaze fixed on Xu Changping, her voice trembling slightly, and she squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "You...you mean, the map of the treasure is hidden on that jade pendant?"

Xu Changping nodded, and the smile on his face became even more obvious, as if he was very happy about the shocking secret he had revealed:

"Yes, that jade pendant is not only the key to open the treasure door, but also the map of the treasure's location is hidden in it."

Yang Xiaoyue only felt her head buzzing and her thoughts were in a mess.

She desperately searched deep in her mind for the memory fragments of her previous conversation with her third uncle, trying to find even the slightest clue related to this matter.

It’s a pity that the conversation between her and Yang San was too short, and she couldn’t figure it out after thinking for a long time.

However, she remembered that Guan Ke had only mentioned that the jade pendant was an important key to unlock the treasure house, but he did not mention a word about the map being hidden in the pattern of the jade pendant.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyue couldn't help but fall into a long silence.

After a long time, she finally calmed down a little and said hesitantly, "Brother Xu... In your opinion, do my third uncle and his family know about this?"

Xu Changping had a faint smile on his face. He slowly stretched out his right hand, gently patted Yang Xiaoyue's shoulder and said softly, "In my opinion, they should be unaware of it."

Without waiting for Yang Xiaoyue to speak, Xu Changping continued, "I guess your mother's family's action of dividing the map into four parts and then escaping separately was most likely just a cover to confuse others.

In fact, the so-called "key" in the hands of the main vein that was left behind may be the real treasure hiding huge wealth."

Then, Xu Changping seemed to have thought of something interesting, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he continued:

"I have to say that the person who came up with this plan was too bold and risky. If someone had thought of trying to seize the key first and then look for the whereabouts of the four divided maps, then the Ning family's treasured treasure would have really fallen into the hands of others!"

After such a while, Yang Xiaoyue has returned to her normal state.

She bent down to pick up the passbook on the ground, then smiled and refuted, "Impossible. The person who set up such a clever plan must have considered my father. And even if my father didn't run away with my mother, the other party must have other tricks that we didn't expect."

Hearing Yang Xiaoyue's words, Xu Changping was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and nodded in agreement, "Well, that's possible. Maybe your father had already shown signs of falling in love at that time."

Xu Changping also expressed his approval of what Yang Xiaoyue said.

However, if he were to handle this matter himself, he would definitely not take the same risk as the other party.

He would not hesitate to hide the real jade pendant in an extremely secret place, and then find a fake one that was so real that it could be mistaken for the real thing to replace it.

If the situation becomes extremely critical, he would even choose to smash the jade pendant neatly if he has no other choice. After all, for him, he would never let the enemy get their hands on something that he cannot possess.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Changping blurted out: "No, we were deceived by your third uncle."

Yang Xiaoyue was startled by Xu Changping's sudden words. She trembled all over, and then turned to look at Xu Changping in surprise: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Xu Changping slapped his forehead in annoyance and explained in a very depressed tone: "The Yang family should have wanted to get the key first and then look for the map. Before he left, he suddenly invited us to go treasure hunting. It's not because he was interested in our martial arts, but he wanted to test your reaction."

Xu Changping's words were like a basin of cold water poured over Yang Xiaoyue's head, making her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Although she had always been deeply suspicious of Mr. Yang Sanye, she didn't really think that he would do anything to hurt her.

Who would have expected that the other party had this purpose in mind? The so-called taking them on a treasure hunt was just a cover, and the real purpose was just to have more protection.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyue felt a wave of sadness in her heart, and Xu Changping's words just now immediately diverted her thoughts. She subconsciously blurted out:

"Then... my father and my mother..." The loving scene of her original body's parents was still in her mind. Now that she was doubting the purpose of her original body's father, Yang Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.

Xu Changping chuckled, shook his head and said comfortingly: "You think too much. The incident at your mother's family should have nothing to do with the Yang family. I guess they just saw the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it."

But at this moment Xu Changping couldn't help but wonder in his heart: I wonder if the jade pendant worn by Yang Xiaoyue is real or a fake?

"Well... I hope so! It's a pity that they are no longer with us now. We will probably never know what happened exactly back then." Yang Xiaoyue recovered quickly, and her tone now sounded a little casual.

"No matter what, this jade pendant is still in your hands." Xu Changping smiled, looked at Yang Xiaoyue gently, and said with a chuckle.

"That's right. In that case, I might as well try it right now to see if I can completely draw the map hidden in the jade pendant." Yang Xiaoyue said, then turned around without hesitation and walked quickly towards the door.

"Okay, then go ahead! If you encounter any problems or issues while drawing the map, come back and find me."

Xu Changping curled up lazily in the comfortable sofa, waved at Yang Xiaoyue nonchalantly, and casually gave her a few instructions.

No matter how good or tempting the treasure is, it doesn't matter to him because he can't leave the courtyard to look for treasure.

Besides, even if Yang Xiaoyue really succeeded in drawing the map, it is still unknown whether others would be willing to let her see it!
