The day after Ling Zhiyuan turned fifteen, Ling Hongyun found an excuse to punish him, forcing him to kneel and reflect overnight in the ancestral hall.
No amount of pleading from anyone was of any use!
This was not the first time Ling Zhiyuan had to endure such punishment.
However, unlike before, just as he knelt drowsily into the dead of night, Ling Hongyun appeared quietly.
He led him to this room in the back yard and taught him how to open the secret chamber's mechanism!
Now, this secret chamber unfolded before Wang Chen.
The secret chamber was not large, with storage shelves along three of the walls, filled with boxes of various sizes.
Without even looking, Wang Chen swept all the boxes into his own storage space.
Not even one was left behind!
For the contents of this secret chamber were the hereditary wealth of the Ling Family; aside from gold, silver, jewels, and antiques, there were also cultivation techniques, weapons, medicines, and more.
