Throughout the whole journey, he kept a stern face and didn't show Ding Laoda any good expressions.

Ding Laoda didn't feel much about the situation. Because if it were him, he would be just as angry; after all, being misunderstood by someone close to you is very unpleasant.

In fact, he took such a big risk just for a few treasures; it sounds ridiculous, but in this world where strength reigns supreme, how can you blame him?

So regardless of how Lin Yifan felt about him, as long as he could get the treasures, it was worth it.

If it turned out to be a misunderstanding, he could apologize and make amends later; if Lin Yifan didn't accept the apology and they had a falling out, they would just go their separate ways and leave it to fate.

After getting the equipment, Lin Yifan entered the last secret chamber.

As soon as he entered, he explained to the Cave Master, "Senior, my senior brother doesn't trust me and insists that I use a camera and flashlight to record this place; so, I would like to ask for your permission to do so?"

"What are a camera and flashlight?" the Cave Master asked curiously.

He had been here so long, through numerous dynasty changes; so he was basically unaware of modern items.

"A camera is a device that can record scenes, and a flashlight is like an oil lamp that can illuminate an area," Lin Yifan explained.

"I see, I never expected such amazing things to exist in this era!" the Cave Master couldn't help but exclaim.

"How long have you been here, Senior?" Lin Yifan questioned.

He had thought the Cave Master could leave the secret chamber, but now it seemed he might not be able to.

"How long I've been here has nothing to do with you, so don't ask too much." The Cave Master realized he had slipped up and didn't want to say more.

The Cave Master's wariness surprised Lin Yifan; it seemed he was an old man with deep cunning.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and Lin Yifan desperately needed to return to the topic, so he asked again, "Senior, could you please allow me to film?"

"There's nothing wrong with that! Go ahead and film!" the Cave Master generously replied.

He understood Lin Yifan's predicament; if he were Lin Yifan's senior brother, he wouldn't believe Lin Yifan found nothing in the last secret chamber either.

After all, who wouldn't want treasures crucial to a cultivator's growth?

Lin Yifan never expected the Cave Master to be so generous; could it be that he wasn't in the secret chamber?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

If that were the case, how did the Cave Master communicate with him? From where? Could there really be hidden passages and secret rooms in the walls, floor, and ceiling of the secret chamber?

Now, Lin Yifan really wanted to find out.

Just as he was about to turn on the flashlight to illuminate the secret chamber, it suddenly lit up, as bright as daylight.

"To save you the trouble, I gave you a hand," the Cave Master explained.

He wasn't in the secret chamber, so it didn't matter to him how Lin Yifan filmed.

Lin Yifan found it incredible that he would be so proactive in helping him, further suggesting that the secret chamber might have hidden passages or rooms.

For now, he decided to focus on filming first.

He collected the map, key, and scroll from the table, then turned on the camera and began recording.

He first filmed a panoramic shot, then checked each place, each corner, to see if there were any hidden compartments or secret rooms.

After checking thoroughly, he found nothing wrong, even flipping the table over, he still found no clues.

"Could the Cave Master be invisible?"

Lin Yifan was puzzled, it was incredible.

He wasn't acting for Ding Laoda; he seriously checked the surroundings of the secret chamber because he was also very curious about where the Cave Master was hiding.

After almost an hour of filming, he finally finished.

After confirming everything was fine, he saved the recording and turned off the camera.

At this point, the Cave Master couldn't help but ask, "Are you done filming?"

"I'm done, Senior!" Lin Yifan answered honestly.

"If you're done, go show your senior brother." the Cave Master urged.

Seeing Lin Yifan checking the walls earlier had made him uneasy, fearing that Lin Yifan might find the secret passage door. Now that Lin Yifan was done filming, he couldn't wait to get him out.

"Alright!" Lin Yifan didn't dare defy the Cave Master; his life was in the other's hands.

After returning the map, key, and scroll to their original places, he swiftly left the secret chamber with a swish.

Seeing Lin Yifan come out, Ding Laoda ran over immediately and asked, "Junior Brother! Did you finish filming?"

"Everything you want to see is in here, check it yourself!" Lin Yifan didn't waste words, throwing the camera to Ding Laoda with a somewhat unfriendly attitude.

Ding Laoda didn't mind, he caught the camera and immediately started watching the video.

Just as Lin Yifan said, the secret chamber was empty except for a table in the middle.

Watching Lin Yifan meticulously knock on the walls and check the secret chamber, he felt moved.

Lin Yifan might really not have lied to him; the last secret chamber might really be empty.

At this moment, he painfully questioned himself, "Why did I doubt my junior brother? Why did I do this? Is strength really that important?"

Lin Yifan's inspection was not an act; it was a thorough check, he could clearly hear the sounds coming from knocking on the walls.

Lin Yifan checked every corner of the secret chamber, whether it was the ceiling, floor, or even the table; and during the inspection, he gave himself a shot to show his innocence.

Through the shot of himself, Ding Laoda could see that Lin Yifan hadn't hidden any treasures and the whole inspection was continuous, without a pause; so he felt Lin Yifan hadn't lied to him.

The time Lin Yifan took to film, he took to watch.

As he watched, tears welled up in his eyes, his heart full of guilt.

He then dropped the camera and hugged Lin Yifan, loudly repenting, "Junior Brother! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

"Alright, Senior Brother, enough with the pretenses. I understand why you did it, who can stand someone else hogging all the treasures, right?" Lin Yifan was clearly not buying the apology.

"Junior Brother, I know nothing I say now will help. But if you forgive me, I'll do anything you ask." Ding Laoda continued to repent, trying to gain Lin Yifan's sympathy.

"Haha!" Lin Yifan coldly laughed.
