Chapter 275
The person in charge coughed. To avoid further trouble, he had no choice but to ask, "Young Master Lin, are you sure you want... Young Master Cheng to help you put your things away?"
Cheng Hui: ...
Lin Qingyun's attitude was calm, and there was a hint of pride in his tone: "Of course, we are family, and what's mine is his."
The person in charge's expression became even more subtle... "I'm thinking about you, I'm afraid you'll get cheated, so why are you showing off?"
Come on, they say we are a family, so then we are a family.
As for why the same family has different surnames... Hey, never mind, it has nothing to do with him.
After sending the person in charge away, Lin Qingyang and his companions had nothing to do following the main force.
To be more precise, Yuan Tianshan has not yet expected them to do anything. When they are expected to do so, that will probably be the time for them to play the role of cannon fodder.
"Let's go." Lin Qingyang discussed with Cheng Hui in a low voice.
Cheng Hui looked around. Yuan Tianshan was a good leader and the distribution was fair. If he was really an ordinary man in the martial arts world, following Yuan Tianshan would be the best choice.
But they are not...
Not only that, there was a big boss with him. Although the big boss didn't say anything, Yuan Tianshan and his team were too slow, and their goals were different. It would not be good for both parties to continue following them.
"Okay, let's change places."
Many teams dispersed on their own initiative after entering the Immortal Palace, and those big forces were also happy to have someone take the initiative to step on the minefield for them. Although there was no other danger except the invasion of spiritual energy at present, they believed that such a large Immortal Palace could not be completely defenseless, and the places where the treasures were truly hidden would inevitably encounter difficulties and obstacles, and it was not certain who would win at that time.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang slowly moved to the back of the team. Cheng Hui did not call Li Boyuan. As a newbie, it would be better for him to follow Yuan Tianshan.
That hero is a reliable person and won't fall into a trap because of greed. It is safer to follow him than to follow myself.
While everyone was passing through a corridor, Cheng Hui and the other two quickly left the army and turned into a side hall.
The internal routes of this fairy palace are very complicated and the area is also very large. I don’t know whether the god who built the fairy palace had any special preference for mazes. The entire palace complex of the fairy palace was built by him like a three-dimensional maze.
There are many hidden paths connecting the palaces. Some tall palaces that appear to have only one floor actually have a second floor hidden inside.
In short, it is a place that is particularly suitable for playing hide-and-seek.
But searching for treasure in a place like this would be quite difficult. After all, there were so many places where things could be hidden. Even Yuan Tianshan wasn't sure if the palaces they had searched still had hidden rooms...
The side hall that Cheng Hui and his companions entered was particularly tall and high. Cheng Hui suspected that there might be a hidden second floor here.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the second floor or not. What’s important is that he has to invite the big boss out.
Uh... so, how is the boss going to get out?
You can't let him carry that big box around to explore, right? And there was clearly no box before, and suddenly one appeared. Is he afraid that others won't know what good stuff might be inside..._(:з」∠)_
"What do you want me to do, Your Excellency?"
Cheng Hui touched his nose. He needed someone to read the boss's expressions. He couldn't even see the boss's face, so he shouldn't try to be smart and just ask directly.
The main reason is that the boss seems to have a good temper, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so blunt.
In order to facilitate communication with the boss, he also made a sandbox. The fine sand inside was quickly spread out, and the handwriting appeared.
【Go inside.】
in?
Does this mean we're heading to the center of the palace complex?
It’s not impossible…
But... where is this inside?
This damn maze-like palace was so confusing that he could hardly tell east from west.
Cheng Hui thought helplessly.
Fortunately, he has a partner who is extremely knowledgeable.
Even if this palace complex resembled a maze, it was still a place where people lived. A god obviously wouldn't live with the people who served him, so based on the level of construction of the palaces, he could still distinguish which was more important.
Lin Qingyang led the way in front. The two gave up the treasures on the periphery and tried their best to use various small paths to run quickly towards the central area.
At this time, most of the cultivators were heading towards the central area. There were no treasures left in the outer palaces. Those good things that were regarded as treasures by people in the martial arts world were actually decorations used to decorate their houses. They could only be called priceless among ordinary people, but they had no meaning to cultivators.
On the way, you can occasionally see some martial arts masters with high skills approaching the central area quickly, but those cultivators do not take these people seriously.
In the Immortal Palace where the restrictions have been removed, only fellow cultivators are qualified to be their competitors. Even if those martial arts masters go there, if they know what's good for them, at most they will be rewarded with some soup. If they don't know what's good for them and want to snatch the secret treasure, they don't mind sending them to death directly.
“Here…”
After passing through each palace, Lin Qingyang had to re-determine the direction.
This god who likes mazes is indeed extraordinary. No one knows how he did it. It looks like a square palace on the outside, but when you walk out of it, it will inexplicably change direction.
At the beginning, Lin Qingyang was also confused and took the wrong path several times. If he had not noticed the clues in time from the levels of the surrounding palaces, he would have lost his way by now.
Cheng Hui had no idea about the levels of palaces, and he also didn't understand why the two palaces that looked similar had clear signs of different levels in Lin Qingyang's eyes.
Cheng·Drag·Hui:……_(:з」∠)_
Lin Qingyang thought Cheng Hui's frustrated look was adorable. He cupped his cheek and kissed the tip of his nose. "It's okay, it doesn't matter if Ah Hui doesn't understand. As long as I understand, that's all. So... for safety and to avoid getting lost, Ah Hui, please don't leave my side."
Cheng Hui's face flushed slightly, his eyes wandered, and he nodded gently.
Ah... I really have no resistance to this gentle beauty...
Lin Qingyang chuckled, pecked him on the lips again, took the opportunity to hold his hand, and walked forward slowly.
He thought nonchalantly that it didn't matter if he couldn't grab any treasure. He would just keep walking with Ah Hui's hand, and he wouldn't get tired of it even if they walked together for the rest of their lives.
Suddenly, he felt a heavy pressure, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
Lin Qingyang's eyes were slightly stern, and he slowly lowered his eyes to hide the anger in his eyes.
It was that god... He had felt this kind of heavy pressure before.
Lin Qingyang was shocked and angry. Could it be that this god sensed his negative thoughts and was deliberately giving him a hard time?
At this time, the sand in the sandbox began to flow, and Lin Qingyang's face turned cold. That's right, it must be that god who wanted to express his dissatisfaction with him.
He pursed his lips, his heart was cold, and he knew that sooner or later he would kill you!
The sand flowed rapidly and soon formed a line of words: Go to the palace in front.
Lin Qingyang: ...
It turns out it's not my problem, then it's okay...
The two of them turned around and arrived in front of the palace. Lin Qingyang observed it carefully, then pondered for a moment and said, "The owner of this palace doesn't have a very high status, but he has great power. Within the scope allowed by the rules, he used the most expensive materials. Note that I said the most expensive, not the most suitable."
Cheng Hui: ...I understand. He's a bit like a nouveau riche.
The harder he tries to prove his taste and piles himself with a lot of brand names, the more he actually exposes his inner inferiority.
"Such a person..." Lin Qingyang looked at the tightly closed palace gate, raised his lips and whispered, "He is the one most likely to betray..."
"What did you say?" Cheng Hui didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing. I mean we can go in and take a look. Maybe we will find something unexpected." Lin Qingyang said with a smile.
Cheng Hui glanced at him and muttered quietly, "Strange."
The two tried to push open the palace door, but no defensive formation was triggered.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but wonder: "Even if this palace lacks energy, it shouldn't be possible to open the gate at will? There's not even a lock? This is too..."
"What do you think this place is?" Lin Qingyang smiled. "This is the Immortal Palace, the residence of the gods. Who would dare to steal anything within the sight of the gods? What's the point of having a lock?"
"Besides..." He glanced at the palace complex in the distance. "It's not necessarily a good thing that this gate is unlocked. After this place was abandoned, the energy was fixed. If there are no protections left here, either the energy here has been completely depleted, making even basic protection impossible. Or... all the remaining energy has been concentrated to protect the most important things."
He turned to Cheng Hui and asked with a smile, "Which one do you hope for?"
"I don't want any of that..." Cheng Hui replied with a hum.
With the big guys around, they will most likely have to walk around the center. If the protection is concentrated there, they will most likely have to solve it.
Is it so easy to protect the palace of the gods? It's impossible!
Well, we’ll see when the time comes. I hope my luck isn’t too bad.
Pushing open the door and entering the palace, all you see are all kinds of extravagant decorations. The golden and sparkling light hurts your eyes.
After walking around the magnificent hall and entering the back room, the boss gave instructions again.
On the right, the third room.
The two walked in as instructed and found that this seemed to be just an ordinary guest room.
There was no decoration in the room. Compared with the golden hall outside, it was so simple that it seemed like another world.
"Does he also think it's inappropriate to let guests stay in a place full of gold and glitter?" Cheng Hui said with a smile.
Lin Qingyang glared at him speechlessly. If that kind of person really cared about the guests' feelings, he would not have decorated the hall like that.
The two chatted and laughed as they checked the room. The boss didn't give any follow-up hints, so the two of them started rummaging through the drawers at their own pace.
Cheng Hui flipped through the pages and thought: Is this a realistic single-player game? Exploring boxes and cabinets to find treasures while the owner is away?
Thinking of this, he amused himself.
"According to this logic, the switch to the hidden secret room must be..." He looked at the wall lamp and turned it -
The bed moved away silently, revealing a dark hole underneath.
Cheng Hui: …???
Facing Lin Qingyang's surprised look, he twitched his lips: Do you believe me if I say this was an accident?
