Chapter 196 - 196 Nice Guy Card
196 Nice Guy Card
Since Tang Yuanhua had spoken, the rest of the people did not say anything else, but they were inevitably somewhat dissatisfied.
They had also been helping to fight their way up and had taken on a life-and-death risk. Now, they did not know what kind of clues they had. After all, the benefits were related, so they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
However, Tang Yuanhua’s words were actually reasonable. Those who could enter this place had their own methods and skills. For example, they relied on the information given by the Green Centipede, and the people from Bi Luo Mansion were the first to enter. It was said that they found a book that recorded the events of the Martial Emperor in some ruins, and followed the book to find the descendants of the Martial Emperor, thus entering the tomb.
As for Liu Yuan and the others, although they had never explained how they had entered the tomb, everyone subconsciously imagined that they had entered the tomb because they had followed Pang Ying.
However, how could Pang Ying be more important than the Martial Emperor’s Secret Realm? Since they were here, they naturally wanted a share of the loot.
On the contrary, this Miss Qingmeng was the most suspicious. She did not look like an Immortal cultivator at all. However, not all cultivators in the world loved to fight and kill, so it was reasonable that they were not good at fighting and had a gentle temperament. Now that everyone had no spiritual power, they could not feel what was wrong. However, she had been silent all the way, and now she said that she had a clue, which was a little abrupt.
Liu Yuan understood that He Qingmeng’s words meant that she could not reveal her identity as a Martial Emperor’s descendant in front of everyone.
He asked Hong Luan to move one of the already-searched libraries over, and he walked in with He Qingmeng. He nodded at the little puppet, and when the library returned to its original position, it would be a natural secret chamber.
Chuichui and Zhiying were left behind to control the situation. After all, these people were not good people, and it was very likely that they had evil intentions.
The rest of them looked at each other for a while before continuing to help search the library.
“There’s no one else here. Tell me, what is the clue?” Liu Yuan asked He Qingmeng.
He Qingmeng seemed a little uncomfortable with a man and a woman alone in a room. She pressed her hand to her chest and said in a low voice, “When I first entered this place, my heart started to beat faster. I felt a faint calling in my heart, and there was a mysterious sense of intimacy. If what Young Master said is true, and I am indeed a descendant of a Martial Emperor, then the one who called me should be my ancestor. However, I dare not show any disrespect.”
“You…” Liu Yuan was stunned and his pupils shrank. “You felt it in this library?”
He Qingmeng nodded. “It was when Miss Hong Luan was unlocking the mechanism’s formation that I suddenly felt a familiar summoning coming from a certain direction. It was like when I was a child, I heard my grandfather call me out on a cool summer night.”
She gave a very vivid metaphor to show how close they were.
If she was not mistaken, what she felt… it should be the Martial Emperor He Junhao who should have died a thousand years ago.
The only word that could express Liu Yuan’s feelings was ‘F*ck’.
He felt his scalp go numb.
The final boss in the outer layer of the tomb was a monster that was transformed from He Junhao’s body. The players had also assumed that the warlord was dead because there were no ghosts in Shangyang!
Once a ghost entered the Fengdu Realm, there was no turning back. They could only enter the next reincarnation, and there was no way to stay.
And now, He Qingmeng could actually feel the Martial Emperor’s call!
Could it be that this Martial Emperor not only sanctified his mortal body and became famous through the ages, but he also studied forbidden cultivation methods with his wife in an attempt to reverse people’s natural talents? Now, it was said that he seemed to have broken the rules of reincarnation of Shangyang and left his soul in the human world!
This person could indeed be described as heaven-defying.
Liu Yuan even had a subtle feeling that He Junhao was a main character template like Xue Yan, or to put it in a Xianxia way – The Son of Destiny.
However, the Martial Emperor’s Tomb seemed to be mysterious and unpredictable. It was like the creation of humans, the mutation of demonic beasts, the mystery of the Martial Emperor’s life and death, and the white jade stone tablet that had not been fully explored.
… He had thought that the developers wanted to create a horror-themed instance dungeon with supernatural and terrifying elements. He did not expect there to be actual ghosts inside.
He adjusted his state of mind. He had already prepared himself to meet the Martial Emperor’s spirit in this tomb. He thought that their journey had indeed been overly smooth. So, it turned out that the spirit had been waiting here. Since the spirit could only guard the most important places, and it was absolutely impossible to avoid him if he wanted to find the Marrow-Cleansing Scripture. He asked He Qingmeng to lead the way later and tell everyone that she had a special way to find the treasure. She can leave the matter of fighting monsters to them.
He Qingmeng obediently nodded her head. Seeing Liu Yuan’s head peeking out from the door of the hidden book room, she asked Hong Luan to help her move it back. She looked at his back and softly said, “Thank you, Young Master, for allowing me to walk all the way here.”
The mechanism was activated, and the book collection room began to move. Liu Yuan retracted his body, thinking that she was talking about how he had saved her and protected her all the way. “You’re welcome. I’m actually waiting for the Martial Emperor’s inheritance to see if that ancestor of yours has manifested. It’ll depend on their luck if they can get the Marrow-Cleansing Scripture or not. After that, I’ll safely send you out of here.”
He Qingmeng pursed her lips and smiled. “Not at all. There aren’t many people in the world who have a heart like yours, Young Master. If it weren’t for Young Master’s help, I would have died long ago when I was attacked by those mechanical spiders.”
Liu Yuan, who was suddenly given a nice guy card, was speechless.
However, he was not interested in He Qingmeng. After all, he was not a scumbag who had to be with every healthy woman he met. Although He Qingmeng seemed to be interested in him, he only admired her beauty.
This was not like the secret guards of the City Lord’s Mansion, who had all become his sex slaves. If they really developed, there would be many implications. The current situation was not very suitable.
First of all, He Qingmeng was not like Gu Siyin. Little Siyin had been practicing martial arts since she was young and had a certain foundation of spiritual power. In addition, she had the bloodline of the Black Tortoise and was young, so it was not difficult for her to cultivate.
However, Liu Yuan could tell that He Qingmeng was indeed an ordinary person without any martial arts or spiritual power. Just this point alone was enough to make people flinch.
If he could obtain that Marrow-Cleansing Scripture and really change his aptitude, it would be a great thing.
He suddenly thought of something. Could it be that He Junhao wanted to create a cultivation technique that could change one’s aptitude because of this? His body was already a Saint and he could live a long life, but the Puppeteer’s cultivation level was not that high.
It was a pity that Chuichui only found the letter on those people in Bi Luo Mansion and no other clues.
Liu Yuan waved his hand. “The one who saved you was Zhiying. She’s my daughter.”
He thought to himself, my rejection is obvious enough, right?
However, when he walked out of the library, he did not notice that He Qingmeng was stunned at first, and then she suddenly smiled, which was completely different from her usual appearance.
