It has to be said that Qin Ziyue's charm is truly immense. Xu Chen was certain she hadn't used any magic, but the simp still willingly took off his uniform and handed it to him. The simp was surprised that Xu Chen looked exactly like him and was also very curious. But the goddess's order was simply to deliver clothes, and he wouldn't ask any questions he shouldn't, lest he offend the goddess.
"hurry up."
"Don't rush me, senior. This person's clothes are so tight."
Not long after, Qin Ziyue appeared in the group with Xu Chen. Listening to the chatter around him, Xu Chen quietly observed the entrance to the tomb. It was a small hole, pitch black inside, and the light from the searchlight seemed useless. "There really is a formation, and it's quite strong."
"Right? I wasn't kidding you. Now we'll see how these people fared."
"Ah, that's it? I thought you asked me to change my clothes and disguise myself so you could take me inside with you? It turns out you just wanted to bring me closer to this place so you could take a look at the formation?"
"Uh... um."
Xu Chen walked to the side and leaned against a tree trunk, feeling speechless. Qin Ziyue said somewhat awkwardly, "That's really what I was planning. Think about it, it's strange for the police to explore a tomb."
"That's true. What should we do now?"
"Wait, did you hear that? They said a team of archaeological experts will be here soon."
"I get it, disguised as an archaeology expert?"
"No, it's not about disguise. The formations here are ineffective against mortals. We'll project our divine sense onto an expert and observe the structure inside to see if there are any other formations."
"It doesn't work on mortals? How do you know that, senior?"
"The tomb raiders were only caught by us after they had succeeded in their theft."
Xu Chen nodded. "If that's the case, then let's wait." After saying that, the two of them stood guard and waited quietly for the experts to arrive. After a long time, Xu Chen glanced at his phone. "It seems that the experts are also working hard, having to be called up at three or four in the morning to carry out missions."
"They're here," Qin Ziyue said in a low voice. The two then looked at the convoy approaching in the distance, but to Xu Chen's surprise, Qin Junlin was driving, and there were several team members he knew in the car.
After the convoy stopped, Qin and the other team members immediately took up guard positions around the perimeter. Five or six experts began discussing the tomb, one after another. "Chief Zhang, increase the police presence around here. Call all the officers who aren't asleep," Qin Junlin said, pulling out his identification. The local police chief, upon seeing it, immediately went to the side to make a phone call. The team members asked Qin Junlin, puzzled, "Captain Qin, why such a large-scale operation?"
"Better safe than sorry."
Qin Ziyue, who was observing the experts closely, nudged Xu Chen's arm. Xu Chen withdrew his gaze from the stars, and the two of them focused their spiritual senses on the experts. The experts were preparing to enter the cave for a closer look. They moved quietly, wearing white gloves and carrying small shovels. Their demeanor and actions suddenly made them seem incredibly sacred.
"See that? There's another formation inside. I reckon that's where this powerful figure is truly buried."
"The closer I get to that formation, the more my divine sense is compressed. Ah, I can't take it anymore!" Xu Chen cried out in pain, severing his connection with that wisp of divine sense. His face was pale, and he breathed weakly. Qin Ziyue's expression was also not good. She gritted her teeth, carefully observed the structure of the formation, and after understanding it, withdrew her divine sense.
"Senior, did you see it clearly?"
"What a hassle, what a hassle! I finally found a fun place on this godforsaken planet, but I can't even get in."
"Really? Then we've come all this way for nothing?"
"No, I have to go in. Let me think." Qin Ziyue's competitive spirit was ignited. She paced back and forth, rummaging through her storage bag, as if she were trying to think of a solution or searching for tools. Xu Chen stood there blankly. To be honest, if even the senior couldn't do it, he was even more powerless. After all, in the path of cultivation, he was just a "child."
"I've got it! I'll call Ying'er back."
"Your maid?"
"What maid? What are you thinking? Ying'er has a life-saving jade talisman left to us by the alliance. It contains a divine power from a Mahayana stage expert in the alliance. Breaking open this tomb should be a piece of cake."
Xu Chen was stunned. He was about to ask why the life-saving method was in the hands of the servant instead of her, the master, when he heard, "You actually want to use such a precious thing for a tomb. No wonder you let the servant keep it safe." He shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
After Qin Ziyue finished her call, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Senior, such a jade talisman must be quite precious, right? You just used it without warning?"
"Such a jade talisman is very precious? If others said that, I would take it as flattery, but when you say it, it feels a little strange. Hmm? Young Sect Master of Tianquan Sect."
"To be honest, senior, I have never seen it before."
"You've never even seen it. The Tianquan Sect has never interfered in the affairs of the cultivation world, and has very few enemies. Wang Xuanyi is also renowned far and wide, so you don't need this at all."
Xu Chen then realized he had said the wrong thing, and obediently quieted down.
"Ying'er has arrived." Qin Ziyue noticed that she was nearby, so she and Xu Chen left to find her. As soon as the two sisters met, Ying'er complained, "Miss, I was traveling with my boyfriend in Madison County. He promised to buy me a bag, but after receiving your call, the bag purchase is probably ruined again."
Xu Chen's expression at this moment was quite interesting. These two sisters must have come to Earth to hook up with rich guys.
"Hmm? You've grown too big for your britches? You want me to enforce family discipline?" Qin Ziyue said fiercely. Ying'er's face turned bright red at the mention of family discipline, and she quickly begged for mercy, "No, Miss, I was wrong. Why did you call me back?"
"Didn't I just tell you that on the phone?"
"Oh, if that doesn't count, is there anything else?"
Qin Ziyue's expression hardened. "How can this not be considered a crime? Think about it, this is the graveyard of a Nascent Soul stage expert."
"That's just your guess, Miss. Anyway, I can't agree to it," Ying'er said firmly, but her eyes darted away, not daring to look at Qin Ziyue. To be honest, she was really afraid of being "punished" by Qin Ziyue, especially with Xu Chen still present. It would be both embarrassing and shameful. But a mission is a mission, and a responsibility is a responsibility. She absolutely could not agree to it.
Qin Ziyue raised her jade-like hand, about to make the gesture that Ying'er feared most in her life. Ying'er's cheeks burned, and her ears turned red, but she still withstood the psychological pressure. The so-called family rules were the methods the alliance used to control servants; there were countless kinds, each more vicious than the last. Qin Ziyue was kind-hearted and had long regarded this servant who had grown up alongside her as a sister. However, rules were rules. After pleading with her father, and at her third uncle's suggestion, her family rules were changed to the kind that everyone who knew them understood.
