Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065: Searching Without Hindering Marriage

"Where would we get any treasure?" The clan leader chuckled as he patted his clothes. "Our household is bare as bones, we’re so poor we can’t even keep the pot boiling. We don’t even have enough food to survive the winter, let alone any treasure."

"!" Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were caught completely off guard by this answer.

If they didn’t have a Treasure Cave or any treasure to hide, then where had Lame Man Uncle put the ancient scroll back then? He had clearly said the record about agricultural hardships was hidden within the Fire-Swallowing Tribe.

But it was unlikely the Fire-Swallowing Tribe’s clan leader was lying to them.

Bai Junjun thought for a moment. "Could it be that we misunderstood Lame Man Uncle’s words and assumed there was a Treasure Cave? Maybe Uncle simply hid it in something the clan leader carries with him or perhaps somewhere in their home."

Li Wenli furrowed his brows and mulled it over for a moment. "It’s not entirely implausible."

But if that were the case, it would make the search much harder. Who could say whether, during this time, the clan leader might have lost some old belongings, or if Lame Man Uncle hadn’t hidden the scroll in the clan leader’s home at all, but instead on some other member of the tribe?

Even worse, if the person who ended up with it had been killed by bandits or captured by the Gu Master from Witch Ancestor Mountain and turned into a Poisoned Man, the scroll’s whereabouts would be even harder to determine.

With these uncertain factors in mind, the two of them found themselves utterly flummoxed.

What they initially thought would be a relatively simple task turned out to be a tricky and bothersome ordeal.

There was no other option—they could only resort to a foolproof search. Going door-to-door throughout the Fire-Swallowing Tribe, they began their hunt for clues, and soon the entire community learned that the pair was searching for a roll of parchment. Everyone pitched in by searching their homes thoroughly, flipping them upside down. Unfortunately, no one found anything resembling such a scroll.

Thus, the duo had no choice but to expand their search range, considering this entire stretch of the Ownerless Land as part of their target area.

So now, instead of gathering wild vegetables or herbs after school, the children were digging up holes all around the hillsides in an effort to find the mysterious ancient scroll.

Regrettably, after two full days, they still came up empty-handed.

In the blink of an eye, the third day arrived—the day Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were set to get married according to plan.

However, the soon-to-be-married couple remained entirely focused on finding the scroll, giving little attention to their own wedding. That said, this wedding was markedly different from the previous one.

Firstly, the groom’s health was significantly improved. Unlike the last time when Ah Dao was unconscious and needed to be propped up by others to complete the ceremony.

Secondly, their identities had changed. Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were both regarded by everyone as family and lifesavers, and they were essentially considered the new leaders and owners of the region.

Therefore, it was as if the villagers were organizing a royal wedding—everyone spared no effort and worked tirelessly to make it perfect.

When Bai Junjun finally changed into her dazzling bridal gown, everyone couldn’t help but marvel at how stunning she looked. After all, Bai Junjun was already exceptionally beautiful, and in such vibrant attire, she appeared even more radiant and captivating.

Wenren Pingting nodded in satisfaction. "Not too shabby. Alright, hurry up and bring out your jewelry, and I’ll help you with your hair."

Bai Junjun nodded and pulled out a very simple silver hairpin from her sleeve.

The silver hairpin was adorned with just one sparkling diamond. Though it was somewhat pretty, it was far too simple for a bridal accessory—enough to make one want to cry. The worst part was that it was designed to complement a ponytail, not to be used for an updo.

Wenren Pingting knocked her forehead in exasperation. "Stop messing around—hurry up and bring out the proper stuff."

She knew that although Bai Junjun had given plenty of good items to Wu Nuan, there must still be a lot left. After all, Bai Junjun’s artist family viewed money as dirt and spent it as freely as flowing water. Yuwen Luanfei would definitely have given her plenty of fine belongings.
