An Yi asked with a puzzled expression, “You really don’t know?”

Jin Tong was stunned by this rhetorical question. She asked incredulously, “Are you suspecting me?”

An Yi did not say anything.

“Do you think I deliberately lured you guys to this place?” Jin Tong asked angrily.

An Yi expressed his attitude with his silence.

“If you don’t believe me, then forget it. I’ll go find them.” Jin Tong said as her eyes reddened.

After saying that, she strode forward. She left in such a hurry that she took a misstep and was about to fall.

An Yi frowned and quickly went forward to pull her, but she shook him off and said, “Didn’t you suspect me? Then why did you save me?”

An Yi grabbed her arm again and said, “Stop it. I’m not suspecting you.” 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Jin Tong spoke with a hint of hope, “So you believe me, right?”

An Yi did not say a word.

The light in Jin Tong’s eyes was extinguished as she replied coldly, “Alright, I’ll find them to prove my innocence.”

This was the first time she had spoken to him in such a cold manner. An Yi was slightly stunned.

Jin Tong broke free from An Yi’s grasp and went forward alone, navigating the place by feeling the walls with her hands.

After a period of losing their center of gravity, Su Yan and Gu Ruoyun fell into a dark place. Gu Ruoyun had protected Su Yan very well and only let her go after they had landed on the ground.

It was too dark here and they could not see anything clearly. Su Yan touched the stone wall behind her and asked, “What is this place?”

Gu Ruoyun replied, “I don’t know, it should be a secret passage. We should move forward.”

Su Yan followed his lead and stood up. The two of them slowly walked forward.

This place was surrounded by stone walls on three sides, with only a passage in front of them. They did not need to choose a direction as they could only follow the path forward.

“I feel that this place is very similar to the passage just now. The only difference is that one is aboveground and the other is underground,” Su Yan said confusedly after having taken two steps.

Gu Ruoyun had also realized this. He reached into his sleeve and took out a lighter, lighting it up.

The surroundings were lit up in an instant. Just as they had thought, it was a narrow stone cave.

Su Yan asked perplexedly, “You had this and didn’t take it out sooner?”

“I made sure that there was no one around before I took it out.” Gu Ruoyun explained.

Su Yan nodded understandingly. If he were to take it out rashly, it could have alarmed something in the cave and that would not be good.

The more she thought about it, the more she admired Gu Ruoyun.

Gu Ruoyun cleared his throat and said, “Let’s go.”

With the light illuminating from the lighter, the two sped up quite a bit.

The stone walls on both sides had many murals carved on them that they could not understand. In addition to that, black boxes were placed here and there on the ground at a certain distance away. When they opened it, it was empty and there was nothing inside.

There was something strange about this place.

The two walked to the end and finally realized what this place was. There was a rectangular coffin in front of them.

The coffin was tied together by a long iron chain, and there were a few large locks on the iron chain.

Su Yan said, “This is a tomb. No wonder it’s so eerie.”

Gu Ruoyun, however, felt that thing were not that simple. He walked in and placed his hand on the iron chain, giving it a few tugs. The iron chain did not move at all. The coffin looked very ancient but the iron chain on top of it was brand new and looked out of place.

Su Yan was also curious and wanted to touch it. However, Gu Ruoyun slapped her hand away and said, “Don’t touch it. Be careful, it’s dangerous.”

Su Yan replied with an “Oh” and did not try to touch it again. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

There was no other path to go about here. The two looked around their surroundings when Su Yan suddenly cried out in shock, “Gu Ruoyun, look over there.”

Gu Ruoyun’s eyes followed the direction her hand was pointing at and looked over. A thumb-sized hole suddenly appeared on the wall and a cloud of white smoke rose from it.

Su Yan’s body swayed and she stumbled into Gu Ruoyun’s arms.. Gu Ruoyun also took a step back.
