Soon, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Xiaobei's mouth!

The reason for this was that at this moment, Xiaobei heard a voice full of vitality, "Haha, it's Xiaobei! Just come in directly! From now on, you don't need to be so polite when you come to see me, you can come in at any time!"

"Grandpa, I understand!"

With a light chuckle, Xiaobei quickly stepped inside.

At this moment, Xiaobei truly felt the warmth.

Xiaobei knew that Gu Dong really considered him family, otherwise he wouldn't have set another rule just for him...

After pushing open the wooden door and walking inside, Xiaobei squinted his eyes slightly in surprise.

The reason is that Xiaobei saw not only Gu Dong but also many elders from The Valley of the Wicked here...

Even people from the Four Great Hidden Families were here, and as he entered, they all looked at him with smiling eyes...

Although he didn't know what was going on, Xiaobei still greeted everyone proactively.

After greeting, Xiaobei didn't ask anything but sat down quietly...

Xiaobei knew he didn't need to ask anything right now...

Because if there was something, he wouldn't need to ask, they'd definitely tell him.

Seeing Xiaobei sit down so calmly, a hint of appreciation flashed in their eyes...

They truly felt that Xiaobei was much more mature than the average young person...

Truly!

If it were an average young person, seeing such a grand scene, they'd surely be anxious, but Xiaobei wasn't at all, he seemed as if he were in his own garden, tranquil and composed...

As they were admiring like this, Gu Dong also smiled.

He was truly very satisfied with Xiaobei...

"It's really a blessing for Xinxin to be with Xiaobei!"

Thinking this, Gu Dong spoke, "Xiaobei, how did you rest last night?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present had a faint hint of teasing at the corners of their mouths...

Though thick-skinned, Xiaobei was a bit embarrassed at this moment and rubbed his nose...

After a cough, Xiaobei spoke with a slight blush, "Not bad! By the way, Grandpa, Xinxin is not feeling very well, so she didn't come with me!"

"I see, that's alright!"

Hearing this, Xiaobei let out a sigh of relief!

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard Gu Dong speak again, "Xiaobei, do you know why so many of us are gathered here?"

"This... I don't know!"

Xiaobei had no clue about the reason, so he decisively shook his head...

Seeing Xiaobei shake his head, Gu Dong laughed loudly, then lazily said, "Now, try to guess!"

Upon hearing Gu Dong's question, everyone's eyes brightened...

They knew Gu Dong was surely trying to test Xiaobei...

Upon hearing Gu Dong's question, Xiaobei knew that this should be a test...

After thinking for a while, Xiaobei softly spoke, "Well... since Grandpa asked me to guess, I'll give it a try. But if I guess wrong, I hope Grandpa and all the seniors won't mind."

"Of course not, just feel free to guess!"

"Alright!"

Nodding lightly, Xiaobei spoke, "With so many people gathered here, it must be something important. And since you're waiting for me, I guess it has something to do with me!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's guess, Gu Dong's eyes flashed with surprise!

Previously, he just casually asked Xiaobei to guess, not expecting him to be almost completely right...

As Gu Dong was surprised, several elders from The Valley of the Wicked spoke up!

"Xiaobei, you guessed that there must be something important with so many of us gathered here, which is normal. But how do you know we're waiting for you?"

"Exactly!"

Regarding this, they truly were uncertain of the reason.

So when they asked this, they all eagerly looked at Xiaobei...

They really wanted to quickly get the answer they sought from Xiaobei.

Smiling gently under their gaze, Xiaobei pleasantly explained...

"Actually, about this, it's also a guess! It's a tradition in The Valley of the Wicked to come for greetings the day after the wedding. It's normal for me to be here now, but for you to be here at this time isn't normal, so your being here might be because of me!"

"Brilliant!"

After hearing Xiaobei's explanation, they sincerely praised him...

At this moment, they genuinely felt that Xiaobei was someone with a particularly keen mind.

With such judgment, they really believed that Xiaobei's success rate in searching for that treasure would increase significantly!

Hearing their enthusiastic praise, Xiaobei smiled...

"Since you've guessed it, let us tell you everything!"

With a deep breath, Gu Dong quickly and thoroughly explained everything to Xiaobei.

This included the origin of the treasure map, as well as the dangers lurking around the treasure land.

After finishing, Gu Dong looked calmly at Xiaobei, quietly waiting for his response.

Gu Dong was calm at this moment, but the others couldn't maintain such composure...

Because of this, they were all looking at Xiaobei with anxious faces.

They were truly afraid Xiaobei would say something they didn't want to hear.

...

Speaking of this matter, they were somewhat embarrassed...

They knew that their greed was acting up now.

But there was nothing they could do because the benefits were so great, it made them a bit greedy.

Feeling their tension and eagerness, Xiaobei clearly guessed their thoughts.

Of course, although he guessed their thoughts, Xiaobei didn't care much...

No one is a saint...

Their greed at this moment is normal.

Not to mention them, hearing about the treasure land filled with countless spirit stones, Xiaobei's heartbeat quickened slightly...

Taking a deep breath, restraining his excitement, Xiaobei softly asked, "Grandpa, you mentioned that you've been to that treasure location, did you really go deep inside?"

With Xiaobei's question, everyone turned to Gu Dong...

Previously, they had never thought about this question...

So now they really wanted to know what the most accurate answer was...

"Well... I didn't!"

Though slightly awkward, Gu Dong still replied...

Previously, Gu Dong had only wandered around the outer areas, not daring to get closer due to his lack of strength...

Hearing his awkward response, Xiaobei's gaze hardened slightly...

The next second, Xiaobei earnestly asked...

"Did just the outer arrays completely stop you?"

Noticing Xiaobei's skepticism, Gu Dong took a deep breath and continued, "Yes! Just the outer arrays completely stopped me! I could feel that if I had forced my way deeper into the treasure land at that time, the consequences would have been terrifying."
