"Oh? I've seen your sister on the news. Her coming-of-age ceremony caused a sensation on half the globe."
Sheng Lao Er didn't want to reveal that Yueyue was a fake heiress, so he remained silent.
The people from the Land and Resources Bureau chuckled and said, "A cousin is still a cousin, they're all the same."
Xinghe passed by and obviously heard those words, but she didn't react at all.
Sheng Lao Er's irritability increased by another layer.
He himself couldn't explain why.
After walking and stopping for more than five hours, the group finally arrived.
As soon as Xinghe stepped into the area marked with the stone inscription of Huaishan, he had a strong premonition.
She did not sense any ghostly or malevolent aura.
The more it was like this, the more terrifying it became. It was too quiet, as quiet as a dead place.
Sheng Lao Er led a group of students to begin their geological investigation.
“Come and take a look at the strata and geological structure here. Ten meters up from here, the geological structure is completely different. As for the cause, we are still studying it.”
"Have you collected all the samples? If you have, continue moving upwards."
Xinghe suddenly found a rock and sat down on it. "I'm so tired and hungry. It's getting dark. Let's rest for the night before we leave."
Sheng Lao Er pursed his lips. This inspection trip only lasted three days, and they still had a lot to do.
Seeing this, the other students quickly said, "Teacher, we're hungry too. Let's rest for the night before we set off."
Sheng Lao Er glanced at Xinghe and said, "Rest where you are and set up the tent."
While they were all busy, Xinghe walked past them and headed up the mountain.
She took out the compass, which remained motionless and completely silent.
Both the boy and the girl stated that they did not sense anything unclean in the place.
Xinghe attempted to summon the land, only to discover that this area was not within the land's jurisdiction.
Quiet, deathly quiet.
There seemed to be no problem at all, but Xinghe's intuition told her that it was like a turbulent storm hidden beneath the calm surface of the ocean.
This place is more like a desolate wasteland, where nothing exists.
Her intuition told her that something was wrong.
Xinghe formed a protective array around the tents where everyone was setting up their tents, hoping to get through the night safely.
She knew the best course of action was to go down the mountain, but Sheng Lao Er and the others wouldn't listen to her, and she had a premonition that they were being targeted and had become prey.
