The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Chapter 148 Mysterious Cave

Putting down the jade slip, the two looked at each other, and Hua Niaoniao took the lead and said, "Don't worry, I know this is your Ge family's secret, I will never tell anyone else."

Ge Qingcheng gave a bitter smile. When had he ever treated her as an outsider? Why was she so eager to cut off ties with him?

Hua Niaoniao also realized that her tone was too blunt and a bit hurtful. She tried to make amends and said, "In fact, the development of your Ge family to its current status is not only due to the sacred land, but also closely related to your business talent passed down from generation to generation."

Ge Qingcheng was not comforted by her, but he didn't want Hua Niaoniao to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Let's look for this so-called holy land." He wanted to see what exactly could have such great magical power.

Only the area near the tomb door has been carefully repaired. Perhaps the ancestor of the Ge family did not want others to enter the depths of the cave. He walked in alone before his death, and even waited for death alone inside. Perhaps because he was afraid that his descendants would be incompetent and the family would decline, he left a way out for the Ge family. He set up a door and left a jade to open the door.

The two searched near the skeleton but did not see anything like a clod of earth.

This cave is so full of spiritual energy, the sacred land must be here. But why can't I find it?

Hua Niaoniao lost some of her patience. She pounded the wall angrily, "Why is there nothing here? There is nothing, and there is no one! Hua Miaomiao, where are you?"

"Alas..." A third person's sigh suddenly came from the empty cave.

Ge Qingcheng approached Hua Niaoniao nervously. They looked around but didn't see anyone.

If Ge Qingcheng hadn't also heard the voice, Hua Niaoniao would have suspected that she was having an illusion.

"Miaomiao, is that you?" she shouted into the void.

After a while, the whispering appeared again.

Hua Niaoniao listened with bated breath and found that the other party seemed to be muttering to himself.

"It's obvious that my sister and brother are interested in each other, but she just won't admit it, like a stubborn donkey. Oh! I don't know when they will come to find me. Will I starve to death here?"

He knew who the voice belonged to as soon as he heard it. Hua Niaoniao took out the sound transmission bell and the voice was indeed coming from it. Ge Qingcheng almost laughed out loud if he hadn't seen Hua Niaoniao looking like she was about to beat someone up.

"That Taoyao guy actually said he would not care about me, and he really did. He even said he loved me. He is a big liar!"

"Sister! Brother! Where are you? Did something happen? No way! My sister is so powerful, and my brother has so many treasures, they will definitely be able to turn the disaster into a blessing. But why haven't you come yet? Have you forgotten me because you were so busy talking about love?"

"Hua Miaomiao! Are you done yet?" Hua Niaoniao finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Hua Miaomiao.

There was a pause, and then Hua Miaomiao's excited voice came after a while. "Sister! Where are you? I finally got in touch with you! Where's your brother? Is he with you?"

Ge Qingcheng took over the conversation and said, "We are all here. We should be in the main tomb chamber now. What about you? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

"I don't know. I just felt something empty behind me, and then I appeared here."

"Behind it?" Hua Niaoniao thought of the previous group of villagers who also disappeared after the noise. Could there be some mechanism in this wall?

Hua Miaomiao suddenly remembered when she heard her say, "Sister, I was surrounded by walls and couldn't find a door. I thought I fell from the top. But after hearing what you said, I think it's more likely that there is a mechanism in the wall."

"Okay, let's look for her again. Keep talking to me and don't lose contact."

She finally understood that whether or not the sound transmission bell could be used depended entirely on luck. This time, thanks to Hua Miaomiao's nagging, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to activate it next time.

Hua Miaomiao held the voice transmission bell and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Just tell me about your experiences over the past three years. With your ability to make the simple complicated, it should take a long time."

"..."

Is this because people think you are too long-winded?

Hua Miaomiao pouted and began to recount every detail of those days.

When talking about the regent, Hua Miaomiao paused for a moment. She didn't know whether she should tell Hua Niaoniao about this matter because she was not sure whether Hua Niaoniao knew about it and whether she was willing to let others know.

Hua Niaoniao carefully felt the wall while listening to Hua Miaomiao talking. After a while, she realized that the other side had stopped talking. She thought that the voice transmission bell was out of order again, so she called Hua Miaomiao several times.

"Yes, yes." Hua Miaomiao came back to her senses, skipped the part about the capital, and continued talking.

Hearing her voice, Hua Niaoniao calmed down and continued searching on the wall.

Hua Miaomiao talked about every detail of her and Tao Yao's relationship, from their origins, to the disputes and separation after the misunderstanding, to their getting along and mutual promises after the reunion.

There was a sweetness in her voice that she herself had not noticed, but Hua Niaoniao could hear it. She was happy for Hua Miaomiao that she had finally realized her own heart, and she envied their tortuous and magical experience.

Ge Qingcheng knew what she was thinking just by looking at her.

"No need to envy others, I'm always here. Give me a chance, okay?" He imitated Ge Qinglan's funny way of coaxing Hua Miaomiao, but unfortunately he didn't learn the essence of it. His overly upright face looked funny.

Hua Niaoniao glared at him unhappily.

"Go away!" She raised her hand and pushed his face away which was too close.

Ge Qingcheng pretended to be pushed away by her, took two steps back and bumped into the wall.

Then, it disappeared...

Hua Niaoniao watched Ge Qingcheng being swallowed by the wall and disappearing before her eyes.

In an instant, she felt her breath catch and her heart tightened. She lost her usual calmness and self-control, and rushed to the wall, grabbing it with her hands, kicking it with her feet, and ramming it with her body.

"Ge Qingcheng! Ge Qingcheng! Come out!" she screamed hysterically.

On the other side, Hua Miaomiao was still eating watermelon, but the next second she heard Hua Niaoniao's crazy shouting.

"Sister, what happened?" she asked anxiously, but unfortunately Hua Niaoniao had lost her mind and cut off contact with her.

Hua Miaomiao held the voice transmission bell and tried to contact Hua Niaoniao again, but got no response.

"Ouch!" A heavy object suddenly rushed towards her, and Hua Miaomiao was knocked to the ground. Before she could see what it was, she heard a familiar voice.

"Miaomiao?"

"Brother?"

The two looked at each other, feeling mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. They were happy that they had finally found each other, but sad that there was one more person trapped.

"Brother, how did you get in?"

Speaking of this, Ge Qingcheng was also confused. He and Hua Niaoniao checked that wall several times, and there was no secret door, not even a crack. How could he get in just by touching it?

The two of them searched again and again on the wall where Ge Qingcheng came in, but still found nothing.

Hua Miaomiao looked at Ge Qingcheng and asked, "Brother, what should I do with my sister? We are both lost this time, she must be worried to death now."

Ge Qingcheng looked at the sound transmission bell in her hand and had a plan in mind.

"She probably has no one else in her heart right now except us two. Let's try it together, maybe it will work."

Hua Miaomiao curled her lips and said, "Brother, is this thing of yours reliable? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

"Do you have any other solution?"

Hua Miaomiao shook her head. "Okay, tell me."

Each of them held a voice transmission bell in one hand and chanted Hua Niaoniao.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response.

"Brother, it doesn't seem to work. Is it broken?"

"No, it should be." Ge Qingcheng said uncertainly. This thing was collected by his father and placed in the Tianling Dibao Pavilion. It shouldn't be so stupid.

"Then why is there no response? Could it be..."

Could it be that something happened to Hua Niaoniao and she has no time or energy to take care of them?

The two of them thought of the same thing almost at the same time, and their anxiety was evident in their words.

"Brother?" Hua Miaomiao called out with a trembling voice.

"It's okay, don't overthink it. Your sister is blessed with a good fortune. She will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune."

I don’t know whether he was saying this to comfort Hua Miaomiao or to comfort himself.

The two of them sat against the wall, neither of them wanting to talk.
