Chapter 542: The Secret Beneath the Old House
"Alright, no need to overthink, let’s start looking," Gu Fan did not believe in the enchanting powers of the Destiny Stone, and he was not willing to let his fate be manipulated so easily. He was determined to find the Destiny Stone.
Gu Fan then started to roam around the old house, walking here and there, stepping around and checking for secret compartments or any kinds of mechanisms.
Lin Xi then asked, "Gu Fan, do you plan on finding the Destiny Stone?"
"Yes, I intend to get rid of it as soon as I find it, save me from any troubles." As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, Gu Ling quickly retorted, "Brother, you can’t discard it. It’s a priceless treasure. Moreover, doing so might irritate the wrong people and we will lose all room for negotiation."
"You’ve got a point. Let’s first find this cursed stone. I don’t want to remain under its control," Gu Fan had already searched the ground floor without any luck.
Gu Fan could not help but stroke his chin, "Exactly where is this blasted stone hidden, making me search in vain for it."
Su Hui speculated: "Gu Fan, do you remember what you said? The six families have lived here since the establishment of the fishing village through to this old house, they’ve basically never moved away and have always lived at the same place."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan had an epiphany: "I get it now, the six families have always lived in the same place, the house was torn down and built several times. There’s only one reason for this, they considered it to be a valuable land and buried the Destiny Stone under it."
"My God, you guys actually figured it out," Gu Ling was astonished, with eyes wide open in awe. "It seems there’s no need for my inputs, sooner or later you guys will figure things out on your own, maybe you can even tell me something I don’t know."
