After that, Uncle Two took out a handkerchief from his pocket. After unfolding it, I saw it held the key found in Biao Gong's hands.
“Hey, wasn't that just to trick Cao Er Daozi into thinking we were going to look at the genealogical record? Where did this key come from?"
“This was indeed found on Biao Gong's body. I just took advantage of the situation.” Uncle Two said, “But this isn't the key to the box where the genealogical record is kept. I tried it, but it didn't work."
I asked: “How's that possible? This is the key I saw."
Uncle Two shook his head and said, “No, this key may be to another similar box. And—” he lifted the key and I saw the character “Wu” on it, “Biao Gong hid this key before he died. What do you want to do?"
“Don't think about it,” I said. "Let's talk about it next year.”
“That's right,” Uncle Two put the key back, “Let's celebrate the New Year first.” He gave me a pat. "Slow down and be safe.”

TN Note: Hooray! This special is officially done!! So you guys will prolly hate this but…. I'm taking a week or 2 off to rally/get my mind right lol. In between translating this special, I copied all of Vol 9 from the daomu biji website into a word doc. It's ~2600 pages and has 4 parts. It's basically 4 books of about 650ish pages each (that's more than everything I've translated so far in these past 2 months). I honestly didn't know what I was getting myself into when I decided to translate all this, but mama didn't raise no quitter lol. Knowing me, I'll prolly use this time off to run all of Vol 9 through my 3 translation sites so I can try to keep up with my 3ish chapters/~15 pages a night thing when I make my triumphant return. You guys stay fabulous!
Chapter end
