Night fell.
However, the Gan Clan had prepared a family banquet to welcome the arrival of their esteemed guests.
As one of the guests, Long Tianhao kept a cold face.
Even so, the Gan family's enthusiasm was not affected.
That was because they were mainly welcoming another guest tonight.
The second master of the Gan family personally hosted the banquet, and the atmosphere was as warm as the Spring Festival.
"It's our Gan Clan's honor to have all of you here. Tonight, guests, please open your hearts and treat this place as your own home. "
"Thank you for your hospitality, Master Gan. We will follow the host's wishes."
The one who answered him was a young man.
He looked like he was in his early twenties, with delicate features and a tall and slender figure.
As soon as he arrived at the Gan family, he attracted the admiration of many young women.
But no one dared to come forward to strike up a conversation with him.
Everyone knew that this man was originally a young master of a lower flux clan.
Unfortunately, he was good-looking and had great luck.
While casually strolling into the mountains, he was able to save the daughter of the ruler of the Upper Flux Clan.
A hero saving a damsel in distress would often end up with the beauty pledging herself to the hero to repay him for saving her life.
Therefore, this Childe Tu, with the support of his future father-in-law, became one of the substitute stewards of the Elders Association.
Don't look down on this substitute steward.
Although it was not an official steward, it was definitely not a position that anyone could take.
All the stewards of the Elders Association had their own jobs, but with the change of personnel, the successor also had to go through a certain amount of experience.
Therefore, there was such a substitute steward position.
Coincidentally, a steward position was vacant a while ago.
It was said that Childe Tu's father-in-law had already arranged it for him.
As long as he completed one more task, he would be promoted to an official steward when he went back.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this task.
Childe Tu raised his wine glass and, in addition to returning a toast to the host, naturally looked at Long Tianhao.
"I have long heard of your reputation, Your Highness. Today, I finally know that the rumors outside are not as good as your reputation."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face.
Recently, Long Tianhao's temper was not good, and he was not friendly to the Gan family.
However, the other party had never offended him, at least not yet.
"It's just a rumor. I never take it to heart."
He didn't embarrass Young Master Tu directly, but he didn't seem very friendly either.
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't be accompanying Young Master Tu. Let's go back."
Young Master Tu glanced at his legs and nodded understandingly.
On the way back, Long Tianhao seemed to be deep in thought.
He wondered how much the Elders Guild knew about the Li Family.
If they knew that he and Ya 'er were involved in this, then could this Young Master Tu be sent by the Elders Guild to deal with them?
The anxiety of not being able to find anyone made him almost unable to think calmly.
But the more it was so, the more he warned himself not to panic.
While he was deep in thought, he didn't notice that they were being watched.
"Ouch!"
With a cry of surprise, a woman dressed in the Gan Clan's maid attire seemed to have accidentally bumped into them.
However, due to the timely protection of his guards, the woman did not bump into him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This servant didn't mean it!"
The woman curled up on the ground and begged for mercy.
Long Tianhao didn't want to argue with her, so he waved his hand to signal that she could leave.
But when he passed by the maid, he felt that she was going to attack him with a hidden weapon!
He subconsciously caught it with his hand, but the feeling of the "hidden weapon" was more like a paper ball.
While he was distracted, the maid managed to escape.
And he also stopped the guards around him from chasing her.
"Don't chase her."
"Yes."
In order to prevent other accidents, they returned to the guest room as fast as possible.
Long Tianhao sent everyone out, and then carefully took out the paper ball that he had received before.
There were no words on it, only a simple topographic map.
He looked at it and found it somewhat familiar.
He called in the guard who was most familiar with the topographic map of the Gan Clan.
The guard knew where the map was the moment he saw it.
"This should be the forbidden area of the Gan Clan."
"Forbidden area?"
Long Tianhao asked confusedly.
The guard nodded and continued to explain.
"This is the place that our brothers can't enter. It is not only heavily guarded, but also has many traps. If we break in rashly, we will definitely alarm the Gan Clan. "
In this case, it was very likely that Ya 'er was locked up here?
He suppressed his excitement and forced himself to think about the intention of the guard calmly.
Not many people knew that Ya 'er was kidnapped.
And for them, Ya 'er was just a little medicine boy by his side, far from enough for him to take risks.
So, maybe it was just a test.
"Your Highness, should we force our way in?" The guard asked.
He pursed his lips and kept tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingertips.
"You keep an eye on the forbidden area. Maybe there will be a big change tonight."
In any case, he must send someone in to have a look.
But this didn't mean that he would be the scapegoat for others!
After having a new idea, Long Tianhao's wisdom re-occupied the high ground of the brain.
"Let's go to the Old Master of the Gan Clan. It's a long night, and I think he will welcome my disturbance."
In the middle of the banquet.
After a few rounds of compliments, the relationship between Childe Tu, the main guest, and the host, the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan, had become much closer.
Although Childe Tu was young, he was experienced and tactful. He did not show any fear when he talked to the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan.
They seemed to be chatting happily, but somehow, the topic turned to personal issues.
"I heard that Childe Tu is going to marry Miss Shi soon. Congratulations."
The Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan's blessing was sincere.
When Childe Tu heard the name of his fiancée, he naturally beamed with joy.
"The Shi family's daughter is gentle and virtuous, and we have a mutual affection. Naturally, I like her very much."
What's more, her dowry included his bright future.
Not to mention that Miss Shi was so agreeable to him, even if she was unattractive, he would still be willing to marry her.
As a man, he should be able to achieve great things.
"Then I'll congratulate you in advance. Oh yes, this is the wedding gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
As he spoke, the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan ordered someone to bring some expensive gifts.
Childe Tu only took a glance at them, then smiled and declined, saying that they were too expensive.
Unexpectedly, the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan flattered him and coaxed him into accepting them.
Childe Tu was really happy, so he naturally drank a few more glasses of wine.
The wine did not smell strong, but when he drank it, he knew how strong it was.
In a short while, Childe Tu was drunk and unconscious.
The Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan put down his wine glass and asked someone to carry Childe Tu away.
Among the people who came with him, a servant who had received a favor from Miss Shi immediately wanted to follow them, but was stopped by the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan.
He could only watch helplessly as Young Master Tu was taken away. All he could do was feel anxious.
Lin Mengya did not have a good sleep that night.
Fortunately, the system was working normally. She would wake up if there was a little movement outside.
At about midnight, she heard voices in the courtyard.
The system woke her up immediately. Through the crack of the door, she saw two people dragging someone in.
"Second Elder Master, where do you want to put him?"
"Put him in the courtyard first. You can come in after I've tidied up the room."
"Yes."
Lin Mengya could barely make out that it was a young man from a distance and there was not enough light in the room.
In addition, there was a strong smell of alcohol in the air. He must have drunk too much.
It seemed that the person who was up to no good tonight was the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan.
However, she was even more curious about the locked rooms.
What was in them?
She stared at the opposite side of the room in silence.
The Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan quickly unlocked the door and took down the iron chain.
Finally, he carefully opened the door to a gap that allowed one person to enter.
Moreover, he moved very quickly. In an instant, he entered the room and closed the door.
Fortunately, she had the help of the system. But she could only vaguely see something in the shape of branches.
Could it be that the Old Master of the Gan Clan had planted some plants in the room?
But this courtyard did not look like a garden.
And how could the drunk man be explained?
It could not be that he was brought here by the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan to admire the flowers, could he?
Not long after he went in, a strange smell came from inside.
Lin Mengya twitched her nose and sniffed it carefully. She felt that the smell was more like some kind of fermented fertilizer.
Could it be that she had guessed it right?
Was this really the place where the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan planted flowers and grass?
The smell of fertilizer became stronger. About half an hour later, the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan came out of the room.
But this time, Lin Mengya felt that his footsteps were a little weak.
How could fertilizing plants be so tiring?
"Quick, bring him in."
He lowered his voice and asked two of his men to carry the man in.
The two men were already familiar with the process.
Soon, they carried the man in one after another.
This time, the door was opened a little longer.
Lin Mengya could see it more clearly.
There was indeed an unknown plant inside, but it looked more like some kind of wisteria.
Densely packed, they climbed up the wall, forming a thick layer of shadow.
For some reason, Lin Mengya felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the scene.
She thought it was because it was midnight, so she thought of some unpleasant scenes.
But not long after the two men went in, another man came into the courtyard.
Hearing the noise, the Second Elder Master of the Gan Clan ran out with his men.
"Why are you here?"
Obviously, he knew this man.
