Chapter 263: Su Family Back Mountain

"Well, there's a library in that inheritance store. It has a rich collection of books, and all kinds of cultivation books are piled up like mountains. They are the fruits of the hard work of our predecessors." Su Siyi frowned slightly, her expression full of helplessness and regret. She paused and continued, "But if you want to enter that library, you must have spiritual power. The threshold is like an invisible barrier, and I can't take you in." As she spoke, she sighed softly, looking at Su Wenyu with guilt.

"Oh, then can I try that inheritance store?" A flame of hope instantly ignited in Su Wenyu's eyes. The flame was burning and jumping, making him eager to try. His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his body leaned forward slightly, waiting for Su Siyi's reply with anticipation.

Su Siyi blinked mischievously, a sly smile curling up the corners of her mouth as she said crisply, "Of course you can, but that inheritance shop is very mysterious, hidden in some hidden corner of space. You have to find it all by yourself. Moreover, there are many tests set by the predecessors. Whether you can get the opportunity and accept the inheritance depends on your own luck."

Su Wenyu nodded heavily, his expression firm, his head held high and chest puffed out, he said confidently: "Okay, I won't let you down, just wait and see, sister." After that, he turned around and strode away. His back seemed to carry an indomitable momentum, and he had already embarked on this treasure hunting inheritance journey full of unknowns and challenges.

In fact, the Heritage Hall is hidden deep in the space, like a hermit isolated from the world, mysterious and solemn.

Su Siyi already knew its location clearly. The path and the surrounding scenery seemed as clear as if they were engraved in her mind.

But in her opinion, things cannot become treasures without being polished, and things that are too easily obtained are often difficult to cherish, just like flowers in a greenhouse that cannot withstand the baptism of wind and rain.

Although she could lead her third brother Su Wenyu directly to the inheritance store and avoid all difficulties and obstacles if she just thought about it, she hoped that her third brother could understand tenacity and perseverance, gain growth and transformation through exploration and facing challenges. Therefore, she chose to keep silent, hide this opportunity behind the scenes, and wait for her third brother to explore and venture out.

Su Siyi walked out of the room with light lotus steps, passed through the winding corridor, and stepped into the spacious and bright hall.

Looking up, he saw Nangong Jingming standing upright on one side, with a heroic air between his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Sitting around him were his closest family members - his grandparents were energetic and had loving faces; his eldest brother was tall and strong, with a calm and majestic air; his second brother had a handsome face, was smart and lively, and was having a lively conversation.

"Grandpa, grandma, big brother and second brother, you are all up!" Su Siyi shouted crisply, her voice echoing in the hall like a lively musical note, instantly breaking the original atmosphere of conversation and attracting everyone's attention.

Grandma Ji Mei's face was full of smiles, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes showed her doting. She raised her hand and said gently, "Yes, it's already late. Is your stomach growling? My dear granddaughter, go have breakfast quickly. Don't be hungry."

"Well, have you all eaten?" Su Siyi's eyes moved, scanning everyone one by one, her concern evident in her words.

Grandpa Su Sheng laughed heartily, his voice as loud as a bell, and responded cheerfully: "We have eaten. When you finish eating, I will take you to a place where there will be a surprise waiting for you." As he spoke, there was a sense of mystery, which whetted everyone's appetite. The others also smiled, and their eyes fell on Su Siyi with a tacit expression of "I've been waiting for you".

Seeing this, Su Siyi didn't waste any time, turning and sauntering towards the dining room. Inside, breakfast was already neatly laid out on the carved mahogany table, steam rising from the air and filling the air with an alluring aroma. There were fluffy, soft crab roe buns, delicately pleated. A bite of the crab roe broth burst across the tongue, overflowing with freshness and fragrance. The porridge was perfectly thick, with each grain plump and soft. There were also several exquisite side dishes, including a refreshing green cucumber salad and a delightfully chewy pickled radish.

Su Siyi knew that they were all waiting for her, so she quickened her eating pace and finished her breakfast in no time.

"Grandpa, I'm done eating. Where are you taking us?" Su Siyi wiped the corner of her mouth, and ran back to the hall like a happy little deer, pulling Grandpa Su Sheng's sleeve, her face full of curiosity and expectation, her eyes sparkling like bright stars.

"Haha, just follow grandpa, you'll know when you get there." Grandpa Su Sheng kept the secret, his smile deepened, and he raised his hand to gently scratch Su Siyi's nose. The intimate look showed the deep love between grandfather and grandson.

"Okay, grandpa, let's go!" Su Siyi clapped her hands excitedly and followed her grandfather happily.

Grandpa Su Sheng led the group towards the back door. Along the way, everyone was in groups of two or three, laughing and chatting. Only Su Siyi was full of doubts and walked hurriedly.

When I arrived at the back door and looked up, I saw that the elders and peers in the family were gathered together.

"Grandpa, I thought it was just us, why does everyone want to go?" Su Siyi frowned slightly, tilted her head, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Everyone in our family must be here. This trip concerns family matters, and no one can be left out." Grandpa Su Sheng looked solemn, and his words were sonorous and powerful, with an unquestionable tone.

"Well, Grandpa Su, if you don't go beyond your land, I won't follow you!" Nangong Jingming had been following the team closely, but when he saw this scene, he thought to himself that he was an "outsider" after all, and it would be inappropriate for him to rashly follow the whole family on such a trip, so he stopped and declined.

"No need, just follow me!" Grandma Ji Mei's gaze lingered on Nangong Jingming for a moment, and she nodded slightly, with consideration and approval in her eyes. She did not agree to his departure, but waved to him to follow.

Because she could see his feelings for his granddaughter and her granddaughter's trust in him.

"This is not good. I'd better follow from a distance!" Nangong Jingming looked hesitant and hesitated to move forward.

"Let's go. I will tell you about this when the time comes. Let's go together." Grandpa Su Sheng turned his head and glanced at Nangong Jingming with a firm and sincere look. After he finished speaking, he took a big step and walked towards the back mountain. Seeing this, everyone followed closely behind him, like a long winding dragon, weaving through the green mountains and forests, and disappearing into the depths of the lush and mysterious back mountain.

"Grandpa, are we going up the back mountain?" Su Wenxin paused slightly, frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion. He raised his hand and pointed to the winding mountain path in front of him, hidden among the lush vegetation. He turned his head to look at Grandpa Su Sheng, looking like a curious baby. "I remember that this back mountain doesn't hide any secrets. Since I was a child, I often went up the mountain for a stroll, running all over the mountains, looking for fruits, and digging bird nests, but I never noticed anything unusual." As he said, he scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion.

"Well, kid, just follow quietly." Grandpa Su Sheng pretended to be angry, glanced at Su Wenxin out of the corner of his eye, and gave him a stern look, as if saying "Don't make a fuss, the final word will be revealed when the time comes", but the slightly upward arc of his mouth revealed his deep love for this grandson.

"Second brother, just follow me. Grandpa is being so mysterious, it must be a big deal." Su Siyi walked lightly to Su Wenxin's side, raised her hand and patted his shoulder, with a soothing smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes bright and determined, "Let's be patient and see what rare things Grandpa is going to show us this time." The tone was gentle, but with unquestionable persuasive power, like a warm spring breeze, blowing away some of the doubts and unwillingness in Su Wenxin's heart.

"Alas, I'm the unpopular one, always being stared at by them." After being comforted by his sister, Su Wenxin immediately became dramatic, his eyes red, the corners of his mouth turned down, he crossed his arms over his chest, and muttered with grievance on his face. He looked like a poor little boy who had suffered a lot of grievances, which made everyone around him laugh. The originally solemn and mysterious atmosphere was also filled with some lightness and humor because of his behavior.

As Su Wenxin joked around, everyone climbed up the mountain behind the Su family step by step along the winding mountain road.

Sunlight filters through the branches, casting subtle shadows. A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of grass, trees, and flowers. The entire mountain is like a natural green treasure trove, tranquil and vibrant. This towering mountain, with its rolling hills, every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, every sliver of soil, is a precious heritage passed down through generations of the Su family, carrying countless stories and memories.

"You all know that this vast piece of land and this hill are all the property of our Su family. But do you know when this started?" Grandpa Su Sheng stood on the top of the mountain, his posture upright, his clothes fluttering in the wind, like a wise man who knew the secrets of time. His eyes were deep and distant. He slowly swept over the crowd and asked. His voice echoed in the empty mountains, causing everyone to look up and look at him intently.

"Dad, this has been here since the time of our ancestors." Su Shiqian raised his head slightly, his expression respectful and determined. He was the first to respond, his words full of knowledge and pride in the family heritage. "Ever since I can remember, the elders have often said that this land is the foundation that our ancestors have protected through hardships and struggles. The roots of our Su family are deeply rooted here."

"That's right, this has always been the location of our Su family's old house, but the Su family's real old house is not the yard where we live in ordinary days, but here." Grandpa Su Sheng said, raising his foot and stomping heavily on the ground under his feet. The movement was steady and powerful, as if to awaken the ancient memories sleeping underground. There was mystery and solemnity in his eyes, which attracted everyone to lower their heads in unison, and their eyes repeatedly looked at the stomped ground, trying to find a clue of the hidden old house, but all they saw were messy grass and exposed rocks.
