Second Exploration of Jile Tower, Yue Qing's Daughter

"Three young masters, just some humble tea, please don't mind."

In the living room, Xia'er poured tea for the three of them and said softly, her gaze falling on Hua Manlou's face, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Lu Xiaofeng saw this and quickly said, "Speaking of which, I haven't offered incense to the Buddha yet."

He stood up and said, "I'll go and make up for it now."

Without waiting for anyone else to react, he had already quickly walked out of the living room, used his Qinggong, and disappeared.

Zhou Ming naturally didn't want to be a third wheel here either, so he said, "Hey, I'll go too."

He also left.

When he went outside, he could no longer see Lu Xiaofeng's figure.

Although he had already left a mark on Lu Xiaofeng and knew where the other person was, he wasn't in a hurry to find him. He slowly wandered around the temple.

He ran into Boss Qian head-on.

"Young Master Zhou..."

Zhou Ming had never met Boss Qian, but Boss Qian recognized him.

Or rather, anyone with a little status in the capital would definitely have Zhou Ming's likeness captured.

This was to avoid offending someone they shouldn't have offended one day.

Boss Qian naturally had it too, so he recognized him.

Zhou Ming waved his hand, "I'm just here to play. Hua Manlou is behind."

"Young Master Zhou, you know me too? My apologies, my apologies."

He then hurried away.

Hall of Rebirth.

This was a place where the ancestral tablets of believers were enshrined.

Believers would enshrine the ancestral tablets of their ancestors here, bathe in Buddhist light, guide their ancestors, listen to Buddhist teachings, and escape the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation.

Lu Xiaofeng's gaze swept across the many ancestral tablets, and he suddenly locked onto one.

It read, 'My late father, Yue Qing.'

And in front of the ancestral tablet, there was a string of prayer beads.

Lu Xiaofeng leaned closer to look, then took out the prayer beads he had in his hand to compare. They were indeed identical.

A voice sounded from behind him, "Yue Qing's ancestral tablet? Are there any clues here?"

Lu Xiaofeng turned around and said helplessly, "Why are you like a lingering ghost, always following me?"

Zhou Ming said, "Of course. We are competing now, we are opponents. The more clues I get from you, the greater my chance of winning."

"Shameless!"

Lu Xiaofeng put down the prayer bead bracelet and said, "Do as you please, but don't follow me anymore."

Saying that, he turned and left. Zhou Ming did not follow, seemingly attracted by the prayer bead bracelet, and stayed there for the time being.

Lu Xiaofeng, having seen what he wanted to see, turned back to find Hua Manlou.

He saw several people standing outside a few rooms. A burly man with a scar on his face, who was Boss Qian's confidant, Fourth Brother!

He stood at the door, scratching his neck boredly. Seeing Lu Xiaofeng approach, he said, "Young Master Lu."

"Huh? Is Boss Qian coming?"

"Yes, he's inside talking with the young master."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded. It was normal for the young master of his employer, the money house, to visit his wife and daughter, and for Boss Qian to rush over.

Boss Qian heard the voices and proactively came out to welcome Lu Xiaofeng in.

Closing the door, Boss Qian asked, "Great Hero Lu, have you found any clues?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "I went to Jile Tower last night. Jile Tower is full of mechanisms and heavily guarded, so I didn't find anything."

"This..."

Boss Qian glanced at Hua Manlou and said, "If that's the case, Great Hero Lu, I'll accompany you tonight!"

His demeanor was as if he was doing his best for the money house in front of the young master.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes moved, and he said, "Good!"

The two discussed and decided to go to Six Doors in the evening to find Jiang Long and Luo Ma to coordinate their actions.

Lu Xiaofeng hadn't slept all night. Although he was skilled in martial arts, this fatigue was nothing. But going to Jile Tower at night, who knew what would happen, so he decided to rest first.

In the evening, the two met at Six Doors.

Jiang Long and Luo Ma, along with a large number of constables, had been searching outside all day and had indeed found no traces.

Upon hearing their plan, they were naturally overjoyed and immediately agreed to cooperate.

Night fell.

Lu Xiaofeng, along with Boss Qian, entered the coffin using the same method.

Not long after, someone came to seal the coffin and take them to Jile Tower.

Meanwhile, Jiang Long and Luo Ma, each leading a team of constables, secretly followed behind.

Then, as they followed, they suddenly realized they had lost their trail.

The night was not as good as the day, and those carrying the coffin were all martial artists with sharp ears and eyes, so they couldn't follow too closely.

Following the trail was less about following people and more about following the traces they left behind.

But when they reached this point, there were no traces of anyone walking around.

Naturally, they had lost them.

"Sigh!" Jiang Long sighed heavily.

Inside Jile Tower.

Although Boss Qian had been here before, he acted as if it were his first time.

He went to a gambling table in the center of the first floor, took a look, and then took out a banknote from his pocket: "I bet big!"

The masked dealer saw this and smiled, "Guest, the rule of our Jile Tower is that you can only bet with gold, silver, and jewels. We do not accept banknotes."

"You don't accept banknotes? Why not?!"

Boss Qian shouted, "The banknotes in my hand are genuine, not fake. Why don't you accept them?"

His shouting attracted the attention of most of the guests in the tower.

"The rule is the rule!"

"What rule? Are you suspecting my banknotes are fake?!"

Boss Qian tore off his mask and shouted, "Look carefully, everyone! I am Boss Qian of Datong Money House. Can the banknotes in my hand be fake?!"

"Boss Qian?"

"Why is he also here at Jile Tower?"

"This is getting interesting!"

There were never a shortage of people looking for entertainment, and those who came to Jile Tower were already here for entertainment.

For a moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around, wanting to see how Jile Tower would handle the situation.

"Hahaha..."

With a burst of laughter, the owner of Jile Tower walked over with a few people and said with a smile, "So it's Boss Qian of Datong Money House. It's truly an honor for our Jile Tower to have you grace us with your presence! Good, we naturally have to give Boss Qian face.

However, the rules of our Jile Tower cannot be broken. If Boss Qian insists on betting with banknotes, it's not impossible, but you can only bet with me!"

"Betting is betting, who's afraid of whom!"

"Alright, clear the table!"

The owner of Jile Tower immediately had his subordinates clear a table, and he and Boss Qian sat on opposite sides.

One was the chief manager of Datong Money House, and the other was the mysterious owner of Jile Tower.

The gambling match between the two attracted all the guests in the tower to gather and watch.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng quietly left.

Jile Tower was full of traps, and Lu Xiaofeng understood that this tower was likely the work of Yue Qing of the Luban Divine Axe Sect.

Of course, it was also possible that it was Yue Qing's daughter.

However, since they came from the same sect, they would naturally have similar ideas when constructing such large buildings.

Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Ting grew up together, and through his upbringing, he understood a lot about this.

Based on his understanding, he moved nimbly through the tower and quickly found a secret room.

Just as he was about to open it...

"Don't move!"

Lu Xiaofeng indeed stopped and turned around, smiling, "Miss Wuyan, why are you here?"

"That's what I should be asking you..."

Wuyan smiled, "I saw you come out of the crowd just now. It's not easy to get into here. If you open the mechanism on the door incorrectly, the entire Jile Tower will know."

"Miss Wuyan means..."

Wuyan smiled faintly, then took a hairpin from her head and inserted it into the mechanism on the door. After manipulating it a couple of times, the mechanism door actually opened.

"Amazing! Wuyan... no, Miss Yue is truly amazing."

Wuyan was surprised, "You... you saw my father's memorial tablet?"

"Yes."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "It was then that I realized that you, Miss, are Yue Qing's daughter."

Wuyan said, "My father was held hostage by villains and forced to do many wrong things. As for me, because I was somewhat attractive, I was kept here to entertain. Lu Xiaoxia is famous throughout the land. I don't know if you can destroy Jile Tower, but I know this might be my only chance in this life..."

Lu Xiaofeng quickly said, "Miss Yue, don't worry. As long as we can find concrete evidence, Jile Tower won't last for many more days!"
