As a lazy worker who lacked ambition, Shu Shu never expected to die while casually watching a show and transmigrate into the spirit beast of the female lead in a fantasy novel she had just finished...
Almost the instant he realized that the artifact was the Heavenly Inquiry Seal, Yao Guang Ding floated out of Lu Li's space: "Shushu, let me go and meet that guy. It's been a long time."
The familiar tone of his voice clearly indicated that Yao Guangding knew that guy.
Shushu hesitated, after all, Yaoguang Ding had been injured and its strength had not yet recovered to its peak, and Shushu was worried that it would not be able to handle it.
The hesitation on her face was so obvious that Yao Guangding understood her concerns after a moment's thought. He waved the handle in a nonchalant manner, as if it were human, while explaining.
"Don't worry, that guy isn't that kind of unreasonable and unreasonable person. I've dealt with him quite a bit before, and we can talk. There must be some misunderstanding here."
When saying this, Yao Guangding practically wanted to pat his chest and guarantee that everything was alright.
That confident little face made Shushu a bit undecided for a moment, so she could only look at Lu Li and think that she should listen to her senior brother.
After receiving Shushu's pleading look, Lu Li first gave her a reassuring look, then looked at Yaoguang Ding and asked, "How confident are you?"
"Eight points."
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Okay, go ahead, but be careful."
"good."
Then, the person and the cauldron spoke for a while, as if talking would cost spirit stones, and the Yao Guang Cauldron flew out with a whoosh.
Once it was out of sight, Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to have Xuan Jing and the others, as well as his group of friends, all hide.
He left behind only himself and Shushu, far away from the tunnel that everyone had worked so hard to dig, and chose a relatively secluded place to wait quietly.
Of course, they did not forget to send a letter to Yao Guang Ding. After receiving a reply from Yao Guang Ding, the senior and junior disciples finally calmed down and waited patiently.
An hour passed while they waited, and just as the two were considering whether to go and check on it, Yao Guangding returned.
Behind him followed a square, emerald-green block, which was clearly the Heavenly Seal.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Li and Shushu also discovered several square marks on the Yaoguang Cauldron, while the Wentian Seal bore the mark of the bottom of the Yaoguang Cauldron.
If nothing unexpected happened, these two just had a fight? Shushu and Lu Li looked at each other, neither of them saying a word for a moment.
However, the Heavenly Seal was very outgoing. It bypassed the Radiant Cauldron that was leading the way, looked at Lu Li with its facial features, sized him up for a while, and said, "You are a descendant of the Lu Xu family?"
After speaking, and waiting for Lu Li's reply, she looked at Shushu beside her and said, "Your scent is somewhat familiar. Whose are you?"
As it spoke, it flew over to the millet, sniffing it with its little nose, and began to circle around the millet, moving up and down and back and forth.
They looked determined not to give up until they recognized the sweet potato.
The glutinous rice didn't sense any malice from it, so it didn't stop it or avoid it. It just threw it around and let it look at it without saying a word. It even sent a telepathic message to Lu Li and Yao Guang Ding not to say anything either.
She wanted to see if she had enough of the Concealing Breath Technique to fool the divine artifact.
After all, she had come to the Middle Thousand World, and there was still the Great Thousand World to come. Divine artifacts would definitely be common in the future. By taking this opportunity to test the waters, she could at least have a better understanding of the situation.
As it turns out, the Concealed Breath Technique was still slightly more effective. The Heavenly Inquiry Seal examined it for a long time, but each time it was just a little short. It vaguely felt like something, but could never quite grasp it.
After struggling for more than fifteen minutes, it finally ran out of patience and turned to ask about the Yaoguang Cauldron.
After confirming from the Yaoguang Cauldron that the glutinous rice was a treasure-hunting rat, it curiously circled the glutinous rice several times.
Then, with an excited expression, it said, "It hasn't seen a live treasure-hunting rat in many years." It emphasized the word "live."
Even Shushu, the rat involved, was speechless, realizing that this guy seemed to be someone who wasn't very good at talking and was a bit oblivious.
To avoid being treated like a living fossil and subjected to strange stares, Shushu had no choice but to change the subject and ask them what was going on.
When it came to serious matters, Wentianyin stopped spinning and, together with Yaoguangding, recounted the whole story.
Simply put, the previous owner of the Wentian Seal passed away, and the seal was saddened, so it stayed at its former owner's grave. While it was sitting there, it fell asleep.
It was only when its master's tomb was opened and a junior member of the Zhuansun family received its master's inheritance that it was awakened.
However, its former owner said before his death that he would set it free, and it didn't matter whether it acknowledged his successor as its master or not, as long as it remembered to help him out.
Therefore, the Heavenly Seal did not recognize a master after considering the person's character.
He gave the other person a token, promising to use it to help with something, and then found a place to stay and continue sleeping.
It slept for over a thousand years, and in its hazy state, it forgot about the token. Moreover, it heard that the person from back then had ascended to heaven in recent years, so it didn't think much of it.
Unexpectedly, before that person ascended to heaven, he actually regarded that token as a family heirloom and passed it on to the descendants of the Zhuansun family. Wentian Seal only learned of this when it sensed the token's summons.
There was no other way; the promise had already been made, and the token was still there. Even though it was extremely unwilling, it ultimately agreed to the Zhuansun family's request to help guard the mine.
As for other matters, it didn't concern itself with them at all. No matter what conditions the Zhuansun family offered, it simply refused. The Zhuansun family members were in charge of everything, and it didn't get involved at all.
Because it disapproved of some of the underhanded tactics of the Zhuansun family, it secretly engaged in many underhanded schemes and frequently contradicted the Zhuansun family.
For example, the fact that Xuanjing and his group of little guys managed to sneak away unscathed was orchestrated behind the scenes.
After all, as a divine artifact, it can still manage to conceal some beasts and shield certain areas.
It even saw Lu Li and Shushu's escape and their investigation, and covered up many traces for them.
Even if Yaoguang Ding doesn't go looking for it today, it will probably come looking for it soon.
At this point, Wentianyin glanced arrogantly at Shushu and Luli, making them both feel guilty. They opened and closed their mouths, but couldn't utter a single word.
Is it that they didn't realize they had been exposed long ago, or that they were unaware of the existence of the Heavenly Seal, or that they were simply too weak?
Regardless of which one it was, the senior and junior disciples found it difficult to say, and at the same time, they were filled with lingering fear.
