Chapter 610: Ancient Cave Mansion
The following day, Jing Yan returned to the Donglin City Lord’s Mansion.
Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin were already waiting for Jing Yan, ready to set out for the newly discovered Ancient Cave Mansion in the Black Stone Mountain Range.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, can we now proceed to the Black Stone Mountain Range?" Gu Xinghe asked with a smile.
"Yes, no problem!" Jing Yan nodded, "We can leave right away."
"I’ve never been to the Black Stone Mountain Range, and I’m a bit curious too; I’ll tag along!" Zhou Shangyun interjected.
At Zhou Shangyun’s words, Gu Xinghe’s brow furrowed.
"Prince, it is fine for you to enter the Black Stone Mountain Range, but you cannot accompany us. You know, to open this Ancient Cave Mansion, my Gu Family has expended a great deal of effort and lost many powerful martial artists," Gu Xinghe said, regaining his smile while addressing Zhou Shangyun.
When Zhou Shangyun mentioned going along, he was not genuinely curious about the Black Stone Mountain Range. If he were truly interested, when could he not enter? He was worried that Jing Yan might be in danger.
Gu Xinghe’s intentions were certainly not so pure.
Of course, Gu Xinghe could see this. Zhou Shangyun had official backing, and if he went with them, they would have to be cautious. Therefore, Gu Xinghe would never agree to go along with Zhou Shangyun.
And his words were to make clear that this Ancient Cave Mansion was discovered and opened by the Gu Family, and any treasures found within were the Gu’s, having nothing to do with Zhou Shangyun.
As one of the Seven Great Families of the Heavenly Origin Continent, the Gu Family had the confidence to say this.
