Chapter 573: Chapter 572: Treasure Map, Big Dipper_1
 

Lin Xiaoyang had a drink and sat on the small couch, closing his eyes for a brief rest. His thick, long eyelashes trembled slightly, highlighting his nervousness at the moment.

Lin Qingluo unfolded the sheepskin scroll, her keen gaze fell on the map, causing her heart to tremble involuntarily as she subconsciously asked Little Kingfisher.

“Yin’er, don’t you think this place looks familiar?”

“Not just familiar, we’ve been there before.”

Little Kingfisher looked at the familiar yet glaring coastline on the map, as well as the several islands scattered across the sea, and blurted out without hesitation.

“Jishui Village, the Pirate Lair.”

“Right, it looks like it.”

Lin Qingluo immediately understood, her delicate eyebrows knitted slightly: “We’ve been to the Pirate Lair before, but we didn’t find any treasure cave, did we?”

“Maybe it’s not a cave, but an island.”

Little Kingfisher had a talent for identifying treasures and was especially good at finding them. Her eyes shone brightly as she discussed the treasure hunt, and her thoughts were very clear.

“Master, look at the map. The four pirate islands from north to south, plus the three additional islands connected in sequence – what shape do they form?”

“The Big Dipper?”

Lin Qingluo was intelligent by nature and understood Little Kingfisher’s intentions at a glance.

“That’s right, the Big Dipper,”

Little Kingfisher’s eyes sparkled mischievously: “Master, take a look at the island that the Big Dipper points to, it’s exactly where the North Star should be.”

“You mean the treasure is hidden on this island?”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes brightened, and her slender jade finger pointed at the North Star’s position, clearly showing her excitement.

“Very likely, no, it’s definitely there,”

Little Kingfisher was incredibly proud, boasting: “This baby has a natural talent for finding treasures. If I choose this island, it must be the right one, and there’s no doubt about it.”

“Alright, we’ll set off tomorrow.”

Lin Qingluo was inspired and filled with spirit: “We’re going to Jishui Village to find the treasure.”

“Qingluo has found something,”

Lin Jinyu watched his younger sister intently, observing every subtlety in her appearance.

Seeing her eyebrows suddenly smooth and her expression revealing obvious happiness, his heart skipped a beat, and his breath briefly paused.

Lin Xiaoyang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the siblings.

“Yes.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows rose, her expression radiant.

“Father, big brother, Qingluo has confirmed the location of the hidden treasure and plans to set off tomorrow to return to Jishui Village to find it.”

“So soon?”

Lin Jinyu was happy to learn that they had found the treasure’s location, but disapproved when hearing that his sister planned to leave the next day, his eyebrows slightly knitted.

“Where’s the treasure located?”

Lin Xiaoyang couldn’t contain his excitement, and got up from the small couch, quickly walking to the study table.

“Father, look, it’s this island…”

Lin Qingluo pointed to the position of the North Star, expounding in detail to her father and elder brother: “We’ve been to the surrounding islands before and are quite familiar with the terrain there. With Yin’er guiding us, we’ll surely find the treasure’s location.”

“How many people will we need?”

Lin Xiaoyang suppressed his inner excitement, intending to provide protection for his daughter.

“None for now.”

Lin Qingluo didn’t hide anything, calmly stating: “I have a storage bracelet that can carry a large amount of treasure at once. If we can’t fit everything inside, we can use messenger pigeons to contact father.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

Lin Jinyu volunteered, not wanting his sister to go alone.

“Big brother, you’re needed here for the numerous matters in the valley. The construction of defensive fortifications on Nanqi’s border is of utmost importance. We can’t afford for you to be away.”

Lin Qingluo looked nonchalant and smiled, rejecting his offer: “Big brother, don’t worry about me. Once I find the treasure, I’ll return as soon as possible.”

Finally, she teased him with a smile: “I won’t delay you from marrying your future sister-in-law.”
