Everyone looked at Li Mu curiously, not understanding what he meant.

Overlooking any important information related to this strange space?

Sister Hong asked, "Can you make it clearer, Auntie?"

"I was thinking about Mysterious Island."

Isn't the Mysterious Island thing over, the people got what they wanted, what else is there to wonder about.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Li Mu explained, "You guys, do you think that Ancestor Fang Ting, who went out of his way to stand guard there alone, was really there to watch over those treasures?"

"Auntie thinks that there is something wrong with this?"

"Quite problematic, simply put, why would she allow thieves to steal the treasure if she is the guardian of the treasure, the claim of being powerless just doesn't make sense to me."

Shen Zixing immediately concurred, "Big brother Mu is right, I felt something was wrong at first, the old ancestor is so capable, how could she take a few small thieves and do nothing about it, this is simply something that can't happen, unless she acquiesces to them doing so."

Lin Wan asked, "Hubby, what's your opinion now?"

"I don't think it's the treasure that Fantine is looking after, but something else, I haven't figured out exactly what, but it's certainly not treasure."

The crowd, if they were thinking, also felt that there was some truth in what he said.

Only, what exactly was the thing that Shen Fangting had watched over for hundreds of years, and everyone really couldn't think of it.

"Hubby, after what you said, I feel the same way, the treasure was so easy to come by, almost handily and effortlessly."

"That's right, that's what's suspicious." Li Mu responded, "Right now, it gives me the feeling that the matter of fetching the treasure seems to be a sloppy attempt by the Old Ancestor to cover up another matter."

"What can it be, do you have a clue?" Lin Niang asked with a frown.

Reimu pulled out the bone knife from his arms and placed it on the coffee table.

"It could be the answer!"

Lin Wan picked up the bone knife and was surprised, "Isn't this that key?"

"Yes, the key to unlock the treasure."

"Honey, why would you think that?"

"Because, Fang Ting only gave it to me, I suddenly figured out the fact that after hundreds of years of waiting, her true purpose was to intend to pass this Bone Blade on to her descendants."

The crowd passed looking at the bone knife, and when it was passed to Shen Xingyue's hand, she repeatedly scrutinized it, pondering, every word that Li Mu had said.

"Brother Mu, do you know where this bone knife came from?"

"It was made from one of Fantine's ribs." Li Mu answered truthfully.

"Ribs, ribs..." repeated Shen Xingyue, her brows getting tighter and tighter.

"Xing Yue, what did you think of?" Lin Wan asked.

"Wan, Old Ancestor is missing a rib, what would happen if we could restore the rib?"

"Rib restoration, how?"

"That stone beast!" Shen Xingyue reminded, "The stone beast is Old Ancestor Fang Ting's double, we can realize this vision by inserting the bone knife into the stone beast's body."

Lin Wan shook her head.

"It's no use, this bone knife was plucked from the stone beast, if it was really an organ reserved by the old ancestor, we should have gotten the hint a long time ago."

Li Mu confirmed, "Yes, I stuck that knife in myself, and I didn't get any hints other than it killed Fantine."

Thinking of Shen Fangting's death, Li Mu's mood lowered again.

Shen Xingyue comforted, "Brother Mu, don't think too much, it was an accident, you didn't mean to kill her, you shouldn't take the blame on yourself."

Shen Meier was very much in favor of this point of view and immediately chimed in, "That's right, it's her own desire to die, it's not Big Brother Mu's fault."

Li Mu waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking.

He didn't really want to get into a discussion on the topic, whether it was his responsibility or not, the good girl was gone, did responsibility matter?

Sister Hong hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, let's discuss more about the bone knives, Auntie, I suddenly have an idea, you help me to counsel."

"Well, go ahead Red, what's the idea?"

"You once said that Old Ancestor Fang Ting and Miss Shen look very much alike, didn't you?"

"Yes, it's almost a person, no, it's just a person, I can't tell the difference at all, Sister Hong, does this have anything to do with the bone knife?"

"It's hard to say, I'm just guessing, maybe it's not right."

"It's all right, you say it, and we'll all conspire to judge whether it's right or wrong."

"I suspect that this rib was given to Miss Shen."

The cabin was quiet.

The rib was for Shen Xingyue?

This conjecture was really a bit bold, could it be that the Shen Clan's old ancestor was planning to let her replace a rib.

After a while, Shan Tingyan asked in a low voice, "Sister Xingyue, do you think, what Sister Hong said makes sense?"

Shen Xing Yue's expression looked shocked, her eyes staring straight at the bone knife, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sister Xing Yue, Sister Xing Yue!" Shan Tingyan shouted a few more times.

Shen Xingyue turned her head and looked at her blankly.

"Sister Star Moon, what's wrong with you, what are you thinking?"

"I-I'm missing a rib!"

The seat was full of shock, and Little Brother Li jumped straight up from the sofa.

"What do you mean, when did you get hurt?"

Shen Xingyue looked nervous, her pretty face reddening.

"I... I've been missing a rib since I was a kid... other people have twenty-four ribs, I only have twenty-three!"

Li Mu hurriedly reached out to touch it, and Miss Shen cooperated by straightening up and raising her arms.

Bang!

Xiao Li was kicked to the ground, and Lin Niangniang cursed, "Shameless, where are you touching!"

Li Mu felt aggrieved, he swore that he didn't think about men and women, it was really because he was eager to seek proof, all the actions, were subconscious behavior.

However, I can't blame his wife's honor for being angry, the hand does owe him a bit, and how can he take a turn at this kind of thing.

He hurriedly got up from the ground and bowed and apologized to his daughter-in-law, "Wife, I was in too much of a hurry just now, come on, you quickly confirm that this matter is important."

Lin Wan glared at him fiercely and reached out to touch Shen Xingyue's ribs.

The latter giggled and ducked.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wan asked in dissatisfaction.

"I'm ticklish!"

"How come you weren't ticklish when he touched you?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Mu passed a glance to the Violet Star sisters.

"I'll do it, Sister Star Moon, I'll touch you!"

Shen Zixing came over and reached out to touch Shen Xingyue's ribs.

The hand just touched it, Shen Xingyue laughed too much, dodging left and right to not let it be touched.

Shen Meier suggested in a low voice, "Why don't we knock out Sister Xingyue!"

"Dead girl, what nonsense!" Shen Xingyue chided, "Go call my mother here, I won't feel itchy if she touches me."

Shen Meier promised and ran to leave the cabin.

A few moments later, several old men of the Shen family gathered in the cabin.

They can't compare to these young men, who boil oil day and night and don't feel the pinch.

It's all about getting older and still needing proper rest each day.

It was a day of high mental tension for a few old guys, and it was hard to get some rest, only to be called up again.

The others were fine, but the third aunt with a bit of a wake-up call came into the house and yelled, "Son, what's wrong again, can't you just let me sleep a little."

"Mother, don't sleep, something big has happened!" Li Mu said with a serious look.

A few of the old men didn't think it was a big deal, they were already trapped here.

Li Mu was very eloquent and recounted the situation in three words.

Several old men immediately doubled their spirits and looked at Shen Xingyue with a nervous expression.

Without even needing to be reminded, the third aunt touched her daughter directly in the ribs.

After touching back and forth a few times, she said in surprise, "There are a total of twelve ribs on the right side... Brother Mu, Yue Ni is indeed missing a rib!"

"How, was it born that way, or was one missing when it was broken."

The Third Aunt repeatedly felt under her daughter's ribs and frowned, "It looks like the latter, Moo, feel this spot!"

How could Li Mu dare to make another move, subconsciously looking at Lin Niangniang.

The latter stared at her third aunt's hand, thinking that the spot was a small fraction of an inch away from the vitals, and that it was not a big deal to let her husband touch it.

"Go on, don't move!"

Little Li brother this dared to do it, to say strange, he no matter how to touch, Shen girl just do not feel itchy, little face red, look at the appearance, seems to be quite comfortable.

Li Mu didn't have the heart to think about those messy things, and one hand repeatedly pressed under Shen Xingyue's ribs.

The mouth couldn't help but eek out.

Lin Wan ripped his hand away and reprimanded him in a small voice, "Still finished, planning to touch over?"

"Honey, don't mess up, I'll hold your hand and you feel it too."

Lin Wan knew why her husband refused to let go.

On Shen Xingyue's right side, under her ribs, a rib was missing, and from the spare space and curvature, that bone knife could just fit here.

She couldn't care less about being jealous at the moment, and together with her husband, she touched both sides of Miss Shen's ribs several times.

The third aunt asked, "Moonie, have you ever been hurt?"

"No, I've been like this since I was a kid, and I didn't take it seriously when the doctor said I was born this way."

"Hubby, what do you think?" Lin Wan asked in a small voice.

"Sister Red's vision was right, this bone knife does belong to Star Moon."

"I think so now, except, how did it get off of Star Moon?"

"Could it be that a rib was stolen and removed when Star Moon couldn't remember."

"There's no way!" Lin Wan said with certainty, "That bone knife was made from an adult's ribcage, it can't be a child's ribcage."

The crowd fell silent, everyone really couldn't figure out why this bone knife would be associated with Shen Xingyue.

If it belonged to Shen Xingyue, then when was it taken off and why did Shen Xingyue have no memory of it.

If it didn't belong to Shen Xingyue, how could it explain these strange things in front of her.

You can explain it away as coincidence. The problem is, it's too much of a coincidence!

There was another moment of silence, and everyone was still struggling to make sense of it.

With a wave of her hand, the Third Aunt said to the crowd, "If you can't figure it out, you don't have to for now, I'll attach the ribs to Lunar Nee and maybe we'll know the answer."

Aside from Li Mu, the others nodded their heads, even including Shen Xingyue, who also favored her mother's proposal.
