"Yes, I have overstepped my bounds." Han Shuang nodded. Her master was right. Neither of them had completely opened their hearts to each other, so naturally she had no right to pry into the other's secrets.
"It's alright, we're partners and friends." Mo Lan looked at Han Shuang with a helpless expression; this person was far too cautious.
"Yes, actually, Han Shuang owes Master. Without Master's life-saving grace, Han Shuang would have long since become a pile of bones."
Han Shuang wasn't angry. She had just as many secrets hidden in her heart as her master, secrets that she herself couldn't even utter. Why should she expect others to open their hearts to her?
Shh~, someone's coming.
Mo Lan raised her hand and gestured to Han Shuang, then slowly peeked out. In the distance, several blurry black shadows appeared in the woods.
"Tomb Spirit, is it too late to create a maze now?" Mo Lan frowned as she watched the figures getting closer and closer. These people were clearly heading in their direction.
"Sure, once they enter the maze, we can summon a few ghosts to scare them."
As the tomb spirit agreed, a grayish-white mist slowly spread around them, mixed with a chilling aura. In a short while, it enveloped the entire mountain forest, blocking everyone's path.
As the fog thickened, the wind rustled the leaves, and several transparent objects swayed in the wind, slowly drifting towards the dark figures.
"Master, why has it suddenly gotten foggy?" Han Shuang stood beside Mo Lan, looking around with a puzzled expression.
"The mountains and forests are shrouded in fog, which is not surprising."
As the dark figure drew closer, Mo Lan blinked. "How could it be him?"
"Does Master know them?"
"Yes, we've met a few times."
Watching Qin Su and his group cautiously move around in the maze, Mo Lan curled her lips. No wonder they suddenly came to Ye County; they were also after the iron mine.
They're quite well-informed.
Mo Lan's cold eyes flickered as she realized that someone was eyeing the things she had finally found. Her things were not so easy to take.
Just as Mo Lan was pondering, she saw the ghosts summoned by the tomb spirit suddenly rush towards Qin Su.
However, before they could get close, a golden light suddenly burst forth from Qin Su's body, instantly scattering the ghost spirits.
Qin Su herself seemed to be completely unaware of it.
"What's going on?" Mo Lan looked at Qin Su, surprised that there was golden light inside his body.
Since she got this cheat, all she's seen has been gray or black; this is the first time she's ever seen gold.
When the two of them were having tea together, she stared at him intently, and besides sensing that he was dangerous, she also made other discoveries.
“Boss, your destiny is noble at this moment, and ordinary evil spirits cannot get close.” The tomb spirit was silent for a moment before giving a serious explanation.
"Then why can't I see his aura?" Most people can't escape her eyes, not even Jiang Mian.
"There are generally two possibilities. First, this person's destiny is exceptionally noble, and Heaven blesses them. Second, this person's fate is intertwined with that of the boss." The tomb spirit looked at Qin Su in the mist and spoke earnestly.
"What do you mean by having anything to do with me?" Mo Lan narrowed her eyes. It wasn't what she thought, was it?
"If he is the boss's destined person, then it is indeed impossible to see through him... Fortune tellers cannot predict their own fate, and doctors cannot heal themselves; it's the same principle."
Mo Lan: "..."
How is that possible?
They weren't familiar with each other at all.
"Don't worry, boss. Just because we're not familiar now doesn't mean we won't be in the future. Fate is a strange thing; it comes when it wants, and there's no escaping it." After his serious demeanor, the tomb spirit became excited again.
