Chapter 60 Tang Family Ancestral Grounds

Following Tang Wumou back to the Tang family, Qiao Yu first found a room, closed his eyes, and had a good sleep.

He had experienced too much during this period, especially the recovery of his memories, which caused his emotions to fluctuate greatly.

When he woke up, a flash of light gleamed in Qiao Yu's deep blue eyes.

He had now fully recovered.

"Use your eyes less often. If people find out you have an S-rank skill, it will be a lot of trouble," the Mechanical Empress's gentle voice sounded in his heart.

Qiao Yu nodded, pushed open the door, and walked out. Two maids were already waiting at the door.

"Young master-in-law, the master has instructed us to wait here and take you to him when you wake up."

"Lead the way." Qiao Yu didn't say much.

On the way, Qiao Yu encountered Tang Hao, who looked a little depressed. He was unshaven, and he even greeted Qiao Yu when he saw him.

The two maids led Qiao Yu to the entrance of a hall. They stopped and signaled Qiao Yu to enter alone. This hall was where the Tang family held their family banquet before.

Qiao Yu stepped inside, but this time, the hall was empty. Only Tang Wumou was sitting on a chair with his cane, pretending to be asleep.

He was too old, so old that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. The depth of those wrinkles could even kill cockroaches.

"Little friend Qiao, you've arrived."

Tang Wumou raised his head with some difficulty, revealing a smile.

Today, he was wearing a Zhongshan suit, vaguely showing some of his heroic spirit from his youth.

"Let's go, Patriarch Tang. I still have a lot of things to do after visiting the Tang family's ancestral grounds," Qiao Yu urged.

"Alright." Tang Wumou smiled, and tapped the ground lightly with his cane.

The ground beneath Qiao Yu's feet began to tremble slightly. To his surprise, the ground cracked open, forming an opening about two meters wide, just enough for one person to enter.

"Little friend Qiao, please, the ancestral grounds of my Tang family are below."

Tang Wumou took a deep breath and struggled to stand up from the chair with the help of his cane, walking towards the opening.

Qiao Yu followed Tang Wumou down. Naturally, he was no match for Tang Wumou in the other world.

But in the real world, Qiao Yu could easily beat ten old men like Tang Wumou who were halfway into the grave.

Tang Wumou used his cane, so his speed wasn't fast. After walking through a long tunnel, Qiao Yu realized that there was something else under the Tang family's grounds.

Below was a place about the size of a basketball court. The ground was covered with gray stone tiles, and there were a few incandescent lights on the ceiling, which could only illuminate a part of the area.

The air below was not turbid at all, indicating that the ventilation in this underground space was also very good.

Just as Qiao Yu was still curious as to why the Tang family's ancestral grounds were so modern, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a gray-black device.

The moment he saw that device, Qiao Yu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

That device was none other than the other world conversion device! Tang Wumou, that old bastard, really had no good intentions!

Fortunately, the other world conversion device hadn't been activated yet, so he still had time to react.

Should he make a move? Before the conversion device was activated, there was no way Tang Wumou, with his old bones, could beat him.

But if he beat Tang Wumou, this was the Tang family's base camp. How would he escape?

Thoughts raced through Qiao Yu's mind, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"What's wrong, little friend Qiao? Are you feeling unwell?" Tang Wumou's words pulled Qiao Yu's thoughts back to reality.

"It's nothing, it's just too hot underground. Patriarch Tang, you should install an air conditioner," Qiao Yu grinned, his heart pounding.

Looking at Tang Wumou's seemingly kind old face, Qiao Yu cursed inwardly. He really had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth.

"Hehe, it's alright, we'll be there soon." Tang Wumou continued to walk forward with a smile.

Although he didn't know what Tang Wumou was plotting, he could only take things one step at a time. If it really didn't work out, he would just recognize Tang Wumou, that old bastard, as his adoptive father! Qiao Yu was ruthless in his heart.

Not long after walking, Qiao Yu suddenly spotted a pile of white bones in the corner, and his pupils shrank violently.

The bones were piled together to form the shape of an altar, and there were many knife-like grooves on the altar.

Qiao Yu would never forget this altar even if he was turned to ashes, because he had personally destroyed an identical bone altar in the Purifying Soul Lake dungeon!

The altar in the Purifying Soul Ancient House was actually related to Tang Wumou?

"Oh, young people always like to look around randomly." A faint sigh came from the front, and then the other world conversion device in the corner lit up, and a familiar power surged into Qiao Yu's body.

"Old bastard, what exactly do you want to do?" Qiao Yu hurriedly retreated, the Fang Tian Halberd and Recognize the Thief as Father card were ready to go in his storage space.

As long as Tang Wumou showed any signs of making a move, Qiao Yu would kill him immediately.

"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with you, but you shouldn't have stopped Tang Lan in Purifying Soul Lake."

Tang Wumou no longer had the kind appearance he had before. Instead, he had an unspeakable coldness, like a viper hiding in the shadows.

"Originally, my calculations were very clear. Five mid-level teammates, plus the old man I sent out, sacrificing them would have been enough for Tang Lan to advance to high-level, so that Tang Lan could also meet my needs. Unfortunately, you were the variable."

Tang Wumou's words made Qiao Yu feel a chill in his heart. The old man leading the big yellow dog was actually Tang Wumou's man.

Tang Wumou was even scheming against his own granddaughter. What exactly did he want to do?

"Since you ruined my plan, then you can replace Tang Lan." As soon as Tang Wumou finished speaking, he reached out a hand and grabbed towards Qiao Yu.

Just as Qiao Yu was about to use the Recognize the Thief as Father card, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, and then everything went black and he lost consciousness.

When Qiao Yu opened his eyes again, what greeted him was a very bright surgical lamp. The white light made Qiao Yu unable to open his eyes.

The back of Qiao Yu's head was still vaguely sore. It seemed that it was not Tang Wumou who had knocked him unconscious, but someone else.

Then, the light of the surgical lamp was blocked by a head. It was a man wearing glasses and a mask.

"You're awake? Congratulations, you've become a girl."

Qiao Yu: "???"
