Chapter 895: Chapter 895: The Treasure Box is Lost

Of course, it’s not that Yuwen Jun wasn’t scared, but he had long guessed that the Gu Master was of advanced age.

When she gave him that Beauty-preserving Jade Pendant, she had mentioned that it was the secret to her eternal youth, thus she had given him one as well.

Thinking of the treasure now in Junjun’s possession, a softness touched Yuwen Jun’s heart; such a pretty girl should always be pretty and beautiful.

The Great Elder was surprised to see that upon seeing the corpse, not only was Yuwen Jun not scared, but he even curved the corners of his mouth upwards.

This youngster’s mental resilience has grown stronger.

Feeling the Great Elder’s gaze of astonishment, Yuwen Jun slowly returned to reality.

He asked, "Could we please have the Gu Master come out for a moment?"

His implication was that he wanted to examine the corpse.

"..." The Great Elder.

He hadn’t anticipated that Yuwen Jun would be so bold.

Not only did he request for the Gu Master to come out, but he also checked the bisected Toad, and even the hunchback gentleman soaking in another basin, as well as Zi Xiao.

His meticulous manner made it look to the unaware as if he were foraging for vegetable leaves in a market.

Completely impressed by Yuwen Jun’s mental fortitude, the Great Elder couldn’t help but add a few more respectful notes to his voice when speaking to him.

"Did you notice anything?"

"Hmm," Yuwen Jun lifted his head, "May I take a look inside the Gu Master’s room?"

The Great Elder, taken aback, quickly caught on and led him towards the Gu Master’s room.

"The incident happened so suddenly, we were afraid of missing evidence, so everything here has been kept as it was originally."

Yuwen Jun nodded meticulously, scanning each item in the room like a searchlight.

The Gu Master’s room was neatly arranged; boxes on the dressing table were still open, as if the Gu Master had just recently used the jewelry inside.

As for other areas, they too were neatly arranged, showing no signs of interference by outsiders.

"Is there a secret chamber here?"

The Great Elder was startled; he had never considered that the Gu Master’s room might contain a secret chamber.

After all, the Forbidden Land itself was the biggest secret chamber.

Seeing the Great Elder’s expression, Yuwen Jun knew that he knew nothing, so without any further discussion, he began to scrutinize the Gu Master’s room.

Quickly, he found something amiss in one of the candlestick holders; approaching to twist it, soon a small door in the corner of the room opened with a bang.

The Great Elder’s mouth hung open.

This... was beyond his understanding.

Unexpectedly, there was a secret chamber in the Gu Master’s room!

Yuwen Jun didn’t rush in by himself; instead, he gestured to the Great Elder to go in first, and the two of them entered together.

This was still a small secret chamber, with a desk and many bottles and jars inside; the Great Elder glanced curiously—they were all precious Sacred Medicines developed by the Gu Master.

He looked at Yuwen Jun somewhat guardedly.

Yuwen Jun smiled with a lift of his lips, "These are all the property of Witch Ancestor Mountain, and only you know how to use them. You can relax, I have no intention of taking them."

With Yuwen Jun’s promise, the Great Elder felt a bit more at ease, but a hint of unease still appeared on his face... he must have shown his greed earlier.

Yuwen Jun didn’t care too much; in his view, it was natural for people to guard their own possessions—you would be punished by heaven and earth if you did not do so. He too would be wary of strangers attempting to take such items.

However, Yuwen Jun truly didn’t care for these things; although he didn’t reject Gu insects, this supreme skill was essentially harming the enemy while hurting oneself too. Unless absolutely necessary, he naturally would not touch them.

At this moment, Yuwen Jun’s attention was on the two Treasure Boxes he had brought back, but after a search around the room, he found nothing.
