Xie Chenan felt that this was unreliable when he heard it.
Now the museum director clearly regarded him as his backer, but everyone present knew that he had to work very hard to win this competition today. God knows whether he can still guard the golden bowl at night if he lets these people stay here for one night.
However, just as he was about to refuse, his shoulder was held down first.
'promise. '
ah?
Xie Chenan was stunned for a second, and was a little confused about what the girl was up to, but his body remained fixed on the chair without moving.
The others, upon hearing this, showed no other emotion and nodded slightly in agreement.
Afterwards, the curator personally escorted everyone out and arranged for them to stay in a specially built homestay in Liuli City.
When everyone was being escorted to the car one by one, Xie Chenan was the last one to stay. Sure enough, when no one was around, Shi Feng rushed up and shook his hand.
"You must be Master Ye's friend. Thank you so much for your help this time, otherwise we don't know what to do." Shi Feng was extremely excited and shook the two men's hands desperately, almost giving him a hug.
Faced with such enthusiasm, Xie Chenan felt a little embarrassed. "You're welcome. I'm just following Ye Lan's instructions."
Upon hearing this, the curator stepped forward and said respectfully, "Please convey my gratitude to Master Ye. Next time Master Ye is free, please let me know. I would like to come and thank you."
Forehead.
Xie Chenan glanced at the girl who had already gotten into the car, and realized that she didn't want to reveal her identity, so he stammered a response and quickly slipped into the car.
After the car door closed, he began to complain, "Those guys are not good people. Staying one more day will only cause more trouble. Why did you agree to this?"
Although he enjoyed the fight today, he also realized how terrifying the gap in strength between ancient warriors was.
"If they launch a sneak attack at night, we will definitely not be able to defend ourselves."
As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. No matter how powerful Ye Lan is, he is just one person.
Facing his concerns, Ye Lan, who had taken off his hood, looked calm, as if he didn't care at all, and said calmly: "So, just in case, we should launch a sneak attack first."
"...Ah?" Xie Chenan was stunned for a long time, thinking that he had misheard.
But Ye Lan had already sent a message to Shi Feng, asking him to make arrangements tonight.
Liuli City is not far from the museum. It is another 5A-level scenic spot in the imperial capital and has not yet been open to the public.
When Ye Lan and Xie Chenan got off the car, the others had already entered the palace gate and went to the B&B.
The B&B is built on the side of Liuli City. Standing on the slope, you can get a glimpse of the entire city.
At this moment, X's auditor was standing at the best viewing point, gazing towards the tower. He commented, "Rumor has it that the Glazed City was severely damaged when it was unearthed, and the authorities have sealed it off for repairs. But I see that the palaces and buildings are all intact, and no one is working on them in broad daylight. I'm afraid this statement is questionable."
As she spoke, she took a few photos with her mobile phone for archiving.
The staff nearby knew her background and didn't dare to stop her.
As if she had noticed the gaze coming from this side, the beautiful woman finished taking the photo, then suddenly turned to look at the young man, showing a professional smile and said, "We haven't introduced ourselves formally yet. My name is Yin Rujin. May I know your name?"
"My name is An Chen." Xie Chenan hadn't expected her to initiate a conversation. After a moment's hesitation, he gave her a pseudonym. Remembering that the check-in process at the front desk must be a shambles, he took the initiative to walk over and stand on the slope together to admire the scenery. "I heard that X has the most comprehensive information network in the world. Is this how you usually collect information?"
As a teenager of seventeen or eighteen, he is at an age with strong curiosity. Facing the world's top mysterious organization, it is inevitable that he cannot restrain his desire to explore.
Yin Ruijin seemed unaware of his fake identity and spoke in a friendly tone, as if giving scientific knowledge to a child, "Yes, information requires on-site verification to be valid, but X is not currently the world's top information network."
"Ah? There are people more powerful than you?" Xie Chenan was a little surprised.
"Yes." Yin Rujin nodded affirmatively, and then mentioned a name, "The largest information database is in the hands of the Xiao family."
Xiao family?
There are countless people with the surname Xiao all over the world, but whenever they are mentioned, there is only one person that comes to mind first.
"Xiao Yunting?"
Ye Lan, who was wearing a hood and standing aside, moved his slightly drooping fingertips.
"Yes, that's the guy. Since he took over the Xiao Group, its growth in the past ten years has been immeasurable. The satellite program they've partnered with the government has made the Xiao Group even more powerful." Even though he's from a globally renowned secret organization, Yin Ruijin only used his nickname when referring to Xiao Yunting, speaking with great respect. "I had heard that he was going to attend the Golden Bowl inauguration ceremony, but I don't know what happened, so I didn't see him show up."
As she spoke, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes. Originally, the biggest plan of this trip was to learn more about the person in charge of the Xiao family.
When it comes to mystery, Xiao Yunting is on par with X. Even some of the top wealthy families may not have seen what Xiao Yunting looks like.
Xie Chenan wasn't too impressed by the rich. He looked around at the Glazed City and wondered, "This palace doesn't look even bigger than a side hall in the Forbidden City. It's nothing special. Why is it ranked ahead of other tourist attractions?"
Even the Great Wall was ranked behind Liuli City, which really made him confused.
Upon hearing this, Yin Ruijin's lips curled up into a smile. It wasn't clear if she was mocking Xie Xuezha, but she patiently explained, "Legend has it that Liuli City isn't an ordinary palace, but a civilization that vanished long ago. It records the atrocities of a demon queen who usurped the throne and ultimately burned all the history books, completely obliterating the entire dynasty. This Liuli City was her bedroom, built with immense manpower and resources."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xie Chenan scratched his head, still half-understanding. After all, he had barely flipped through a few pages of history books, let alone the truth that historians had submerged this vanished dynasty in other timelines. "Then this demon queen is quite hateful."
"Hmm." Yin Ruijin nodded in agreement. "Unofficial history records that she used the emperor to control the princes, while at the same time she mobilized the entire nation's forces to expand her territory. She also slaughtered her subjects, causing widespread chaos and devastation. Ultimately, she was beheaded on the throne of Liuli City."
Xie Chenan found it hard to imagine a woman being so cruel. He rubbed the goose bumps on his body and sighed, "That's what she deserved."
Yin Ruijin smiled, and although she didn't reply, she agreed in her heart.
Only Ye Lan, who had been standing silently behind, glanced at the palace not far away while the two were talking, and his brows slightly furrowed.
This city is filled with too much yin energy.
But thinking about the historical background that Yin Ruijin just mentioned, I felt that it was probably caused by the deaths of too many innocent souls.
