Quite a few people snorted in their hearts.?Split evenly? That’s nonsense!?
Everyone present wasn’t naive. If they really saw a treasure, how would they obediently wait to split it evenly? At that ti, they would definitely fight for it, and it would probably be a situation where only one party could leave!
But… Seeing Chu Yue’s previous attitude, there might actually be sothing inside. We can first work together to break open this barrier.?
“I’ll do it!”
“ too!”
Almost everyone expressed their agreent one after another. Hence, after a short discussion, the crowd present started attacking at the sa ti! They tried their best to break open that barrier!
…
Chu Liuyue, who was far away, turned around to take a look.
Although she couldn’t see anything from here, she could still roughly guess the situation of the tomb. She hoped that the barrier Shangguan Jing left behind was strong enough to last for a while…
“It’s right inside,” said the elder at the front.
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. She imdiately retracted her gaze and looked over.
...
It was filled with snow. The crystal and translucent snowflakes gathered together in one thick stack.
At this point, it was the darkest ti of night. Hence, the icy snow looked even colder than in the day.
She followed the people in front of her and stood still.
Then, that elder went up alone.
Chu Liuyue stood behind him and could only see his arms waving around.
Very quickly, thick snow started rapidly lting on the ground. The ground started to reveal itself!
She focused her gaze, and her heart seed to be clutched by sothing tightly! It was just one glance, but she saw that there was another compartnt below the ground.
As expected, that elder flew down and knocked twice on the ground.
Ka—
Following an extrely soft sound, an entrance appeared in the ground! It was pitch black, and one couldn’t see anything at all.
It brought with it a hint of coldness that caused one’s heart to tremble.
Nobody knew what exactly was beneath the surface.
“Go ahead—” That elder turned around and glanced at Chu Liuyue extrely coldly. “Ms. Shangguan.”
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat.?As expected… When they said Mu Qinghe’s na, I had already guessed that the other party knew my identity. This is also why I chose to co over so swiftly. Not many people know of my double identity at the mont. Even Jiang Zhiyuan is doubtful, but?
she can’t confirm it. Yet, these people seem very confident. Also… they clearly seem to know much more than !?
Without hesitation, Chu Liuyue flew down and walked to that entrance.
She glanced below and saw a cold and dark staircase.
She walked down.
…
Thump!
Not long after she went down, the few people sealed the entrance again.
What surprised Chu Liuyue was that they actually didn’t follow her down; this caused her heart to sink. This was because it didn’t an that they were less alert if they let her go down. On the contrary… it ant that there was an even stronger existence here. Hence, they could leave so easily and allow her to co in herself!
Isolated, cold, dark, and oppressive.
Only Chu Liuyue’s footsteps kept reverberating throughout the entire space.
Very quickly, she saw a person. She was too familiar with that figure.
He was sitting on the ground and leaning against the walls motionlessly. His hands and legs were all cuffed to the square patch of ground.
His clothes were ssy and even had so bloodstains. His aura was slightly weak, and he looked very disheveled.
If it weren’t for the slight heaving of his chest, Chu Liuyue might think that he was already dead.
“Mu Qinghe.” She paused and spoke softly.
Hearing the voice, the man—who had his head down the whole ti—finally moved. He looked up hesitantly.
When he saw Chu Liuyue, confusion flashed across his face. But very quickly, he recognized Chu Liuyue’s identity.
His white and dried lips trembled slightly as if he had a lot to say. But in the end, he just looked down again. ” …Greetings, Your Highness!”
Chu Liuyue walked down the stairs and stood there for a while, just staring at Mu Qinghe.
If it weren’t for his reply, she wouldn’t even dare to confirm that the frail, skinny, and disheveled man in front of her was once the arrogant and prideful Mu Qinghe that had followed her for so many years.
For so reason, her heart seed to be harshly hit by sothing when she saw this scene, and it ached. She didn’t know if it was for him or for herself.
Once, they fought hand in hand in battle. Now, they were almost pointing swords at each other.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and surveyed her surroundings. Then, her gaze focused.
There was a gigantic copper mirror in the middle. This copper mirror was very familiar.
She stared at it for a few seconds before a thought flashed across her mind!?This is exactly the sa copper mirror as the one I saw in the study of the Beiming Dynasty’s Crown Prince!?
“Shangguan Yue.” A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the copper mirror.
Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered, and her lips curled up slightly. “At this point, you’re still not willing to reveal yourself?”
The other party chuckled. “It seems like you’re very curious about .”
Chu Liuyue’s smile was even deeper. “Mu Qinghe… is actually your person, right? If I didn’t guess wrongly, Jiang Yucheng seems to have the sa identity too?”
“You’re as smart as before.” The other party actually admitted to it in a straightforward and confident manner. He wasn’t afraid that Chu Liuyue would cause any scene. “Smart people only ever make smart choices. I believe… you should also know why I invited you over here.”
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes slightly and raised her brows. “I’m sorry. I don’t know; I hope you could enlighten .”
