Inside the main hall, the statue of the founding master that originally faced towards the door had somehow turned its back, exposing the back of its head directly to the entrance.
Xia Xin's eyes widened in shock as he strode over quickly, placing the instant noodles on the incense table and walking straight to the statue to inspect it carefully.
Although the current statue was gilded, a founding master statue standing eight feet tall, the same height as a person, would not easily be moved, even if it were just gold-plated copper.
Could it be that thieves had entered, and not just one?
Xia Xin's face was a mix of shock and suspicion as he turned and began searching the main hall to see if anything was missing.
But as he turned around, clang—
Xia Xin kicked something.
Looking down, it was the hammer he had used previously when repairing the roof.
But...
He was sure that he had left the hammer behind the door after using it, so how did it get here?
