Chapter 844 Extra 10: Xize's Protective Role Leads to a Slap in the Face and the Emperor's True Colors Are Revealed.
The Luo family naturally noticed that Wu Yue had brought a foreigner in, but they didn't think much of it.
Some Westerners, being out of touch with the information, thought the fifth family was the number one feng shui family in China, not knowing that the Luo family was the real number one.
They have no taste whatsoever.
If the young man hadn't said that, Wu Yue wouldn't have seen Luo Ziqiu, let alone noticed the woman in a cheongsam next to him.
“Miss Hongxiu.” The young man glanced coldly at Fifth Moon, then turned his head. “This is the betrothal my cousin arranged for us when we were children. It has been called off, the karmic ties have been severed, so please don’t take it to heart.”
Gu Hongxiu.
The eldest daughter of the Luonan Gu family is twenty-three years old this year.
In Luonan's feng shui and fortune-telling circles, the Luo and Gu families are equally famous.
Gu Hongxiu nodded slightly, her smile concealing her teeth.
She didn't look at Wu Yue, but gently took Luo Ziqiu's arm, her posture carrying a hint of superiority.
Xize smiled: "Don't worry, San... Yueyue doesn't think much of your Luo family. She accepted the mission to the Luonan Ancient Tomb a long time ago. Didn't you come along with her?"
He raised his hand and naturally and calmly put his arm around the girl's shoulder, pulling her closer to him.
It's a distance that only exists between lovers.
Although Xize was wearing a mask, his figure and temperament far surpassed Luo Ziqiu's.
"Who is this gentleman beside Miss Yue? Such an aura is rare among ordinary people."
"I think he's a bit like the head of the Laurent family."
"Really? Isn't the Laurent family about to hold a report meeting?"
In May, she bumped into his chest unexpectedly and stammered, "Why...why are you so close to me?"
The young man had a faint scent of cornflowers on him, which was very pleasant.
It's as if it pulls you into Florence three hundred years ago.
That magnificent industrial empire.
He held power and was at the pinnacle.
"Don't overthink it." Xize lowered his head, his voice also lowered, and said lightly, "I promised the boss that I wouldn't let anyone bully you, so I'll reluctantly let you take advantage of me and be my boyfriend for a day."
As he spoke, he glanced at her again: "Bean sprout."
May: "..."
I'm so annoyed.
Who needs a temporary boyfriend like this?
Fifth Month scratched his head: "Well, you treated me like a temporary boyfriend without asking my opinion, so you can use that to offset part of the debt, right?"
Nishizawa: "...Are you addicted to being greedy?"
Luo Ziqiu felt a strange displeasure when he saw Xize with his arm around the girl's shoulder.
He clenched his fingers, then looked away and joined the other fortune tellers in divining the terrain.
Suddenly, an old woman let out a scream.
Fifth Month's expression changed slightly. He looked over and saw that the old woman had coughed up blood, her head lolled to the side, and she had fainted.
Xize's eyes hardened: "What's wrong with her?"
"It must have been a backlash when they were calculating the name of the tomb's owner." Fifth Month said solemnly, "It seems that the senior who was in charge of guarding the tomb back then was indeed very strong."
After the old woman collapsed, a new feng shui master immediately took her place.
The old man who was also calculating the divination shouted, "Young Master Ziqiu, can you calculate it?"
"No way." Sweat beaded on Luo Ziqiu's forehead. "There's no way; the obstacles are too strong."
Knowing the name and background of the tomb's occupant beforehand will reduce a lot of trouble during the burial process.
"Well, that's the only way we can go in." The old man wiped his sweat. "We can't figure it out."
Gu Hongxiu suddenly spoke up: "Miss Yue, have you figured out who the owner of this tomb is?"
“I know.” Fifth Month clapped her hands. “This is the tomb of Princess Qiongyu of the Xia Dynasty. She was born in 1780 BC and died in 1762 BC. The tomb was not fully completed until 1758 BC.”
"..."
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.
Luo Ziqiu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Even with their combined efforts, they couldn't figure out who the tomb's owner was, but in May they even figured out the year perfectly.
Gu Hongxiu smiled and said, "Sister Yue, I've heard so much about you. I didn't expect you to be so amazing. But at such a young age, it's best not to be too vain."
"I only have one older sister, what are you?" Fifth Month didn't look up. "Don't try to claim kinship with me."
Gu Hongxiu had always been a well-bred young lady and had never been scolded like this before, leaving her speechless for a moment.
The goodwill that had just arisen in Luo Ziqiu's heart vanished instantly. He said coldly, "Fifth Month, do you even know how to spell the word 'manners'?"
"Do you know how to write the phrase 'the one who starts it is despicable'?" Xize turned his head. "You're Chinese, I don't need to teach you, do I?"
Luo Ziqiu clenched his fingers.
Who exactly is this man, and why is he so protective of Fifth Month?
The other feng shui masters and fortune tellers looked at each other, not daring to intervene.
Neither the Luo family nor the Fifth family are people they can afford to offend.
A few minutes later, the divination of the terrain was also completed.
The old man unfolded the map he had drawn in front of everyone.
Xize commented, "It's like a maze."
"Gentlemen, the terrain here is complex, so we must be extremely careful." The old man said solemnly, "Please have the Luo family and the Gu family go first, the brothers from O Continent bring up the rear, and the rest of you go in the middle."
Luo Ziqiu had no objection to this and stepped forward side by side with Gu Hongxiu.
The others followed immediately.
“Let’s go this way.” Fifth Month tugged at Xize’s sleeve. “It’s less dangerous here. If they go that way, at least twenty-four people will die.”
Xize's eyes darkened, and he lazily replied, "Okay, remember to protect me."
Everyone else turned to the right, while Fifth Month led Xize to the left.
The elderly man at the head of the group became anxious again: "Miss Yue, you're wrong, you're wrong. Go this way, that way is a dead end."
“Old Zhou, there’s no need to pay her any attention,” Luo Ziqiu said coldly. “Let her go wherever she wants.”
She had already entered the tomb in May, and there was no way to call her out.
The old man had no choice but to give up.
But one person also chose the left side.
After he went inside, he stopped and called out, "Miss Yue."
"Ah?" Fifth Moon turned her head and looked up by the candlelight. "And who is this gentleman?"
Xize narrowed his eyes, feeling that this man was somewhat familiar.
“Miss Yue, hello. We’ve chatted online before.” The man brushed a stray hair from his forehead. “I’m here to ask you to take some medicine. My real name is Luke Lawrence. Nice to meet you.”
Fifth Month was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
She also frequents the NOK forum, and she is naturally very familiar with several silly big shots who often post random things.
The ID "Please take a medicine" belongs to the Third Poison Master.
His ability to make medicines is evident from the fact that he is ranked below Ying Zijin and the Sage Magician.
In May, I didn't expect that he would look so young, with dark brown eyes and pure white hair.
However, she also figured out his age.
He is 154 years old.
Okay, she's the only one who's a lovely 18-year-old girl in the prime of her youth.
"What brings you here?" Fifth Month asked. "Grave raiding?"
"No, no, no, I don't need any burial treasures. I just came in to gather some herbs." Luke squatted down slightly and looked ahead. "I heard that this is the tomb of a princess from thousands of years ago, and a fortune teller used force to suppress the tomb."
"In your Chinese parlance, this tomb has a lot of malevolent energy. Over the past few thousand years, there may be some medicinal herbs that cannot grow outside. I'll take a look at them."
May nodded.
She also knew that Luke had gone to the International Virus Center and was not worried that he would use poison to do bad things.
Lu Jia stepped forward and took out several medicine boxes: "Miss Yue asked for medicine on the NOK forum last time, and I brought it to you as well."
"Huh?" Fifth Month took it. "How can you be so sure I'd come?"
Luca smiled and said, "It wouldn't be like you if Miss Yue didn't come."
"That's right, I'm the brave and unstoppable Sailor Moon."
Luke smiled again, and as if he had just noticed the young man beside him, he asked, "And this gentleman is?"
"Oh, he's my creditor." Fifth Month knew that Xize didn't want to reveal his identity and cause unnecessary trouble, so she took the initiative to introduce him.
"A creditor?" Luke pondered for a moment. "I wonder how much Miss Yue owes? May I help her pay it off?"
Xize replied calmly, "No need."
He walked forward with one hand in his pocket and no expression on his face.
A chill emanated from it.
"No need, no need," Fifth Month decisively refused. "I'll pay it back myself!"
Otherwise, she would have another karmic connection with Luke.
She glanced at Xize walking ahead and gave a soft snort.
Why does this person have such a bad temper?
Indeed, as May said, the other path is not much more dangerous.
The three people made it forward smoothly.
Xize finally spoke: "I didn't realize you were so capable."
“Of course.” Fifth Month puffed out her little chest. “You guys wait here, I’ll go take a look.”
This place is only 100 meters away from the main tomb.
Ahead is a mural.
She plans to study these murals and then sell them to the Feng Shui Alliance to make money.
The moment May's hand touched the mural, her body suddenly trembled.
Then, it seemed to be frozen in place and stopped moving.
After coexisting, the two will also share each other's emotions.
Xize felt an unprecedented sadness wash over him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Xize's expression changed: "Third-class disabled person, what's wrong with you?"
He stepped forward, but when he touched the girl's shoulder, he too froze as if he had been electrocuted.
Luke's expression changed as well.
Although he wasn't a fortune teller, he had a basic understanding of the subject.
The fact that this tomb has remained undiscovered for so long clearly indicates that the diviner responsible for setting up the formation was extremely skilled.
However, as time went by, the power of the formation gradually weakened, which is why it was discovered.
This place not only has many feng shui formations, but also some ancient mechanical techniques that have been lost for a long time.
Luke dared not move, fearing he might trigger some mechanism that would cause the tomb to collapse.
Xize and Fifth Month are probably trapped by some kind of feng shui formation.
Apart from the three of them, no one else took this route, and they had no way to ask for help.
Looking for someone?
Luke had a sudden inspiration, slapped his forehead, and took out his phone to log into the NOK forum.
The NOK forum originally only had a computer version, but the administrator team launched a mobile version last month.
【Please Take a Pill】: Calling for help from the experts! Calling for help from the expert @Divine Calculator! Something's happened, please help! Location: Luonan Ancient Tomb. There's some kind of formation here that's trapped two people.
Several people quickly jumped out from below.
Why did you tag my husband's name, bro?
[Wake up, upstairs! If you'd eaten even one more peanut, you wouldn't be this drunk.]
[Brother Yao, although you're also in the top three, how could the top spot on the bounty list be so easily claimed?]
Just as the group of silly big shots were chatting away, a message highlighted in red appeared.
[The Divine Calculator]: Wait a moment, I'm right here, I'll be right there.
After those words were spoken, the entire NOK forum fell silent.
Even Luke experienced temporary hearing loss. He stared wide-eyed at the ID displayed in red: "No way..."
A few seconds later, the number of posts and comments skyrocketed.
[Holy crap, Brother Yao, what kind of luck do you have? You run into a big shot just by going to a tomb?!]
I'll immediately call a helicopter to China and wait!
[Take a photo, take a photo! This time I can't not take a photo, @divinecalculator, can you do this, master?]
[Divine Calculator]: Can be used at will, but only within the Hidden Alliance.
[Don't worry, boss, this will never be shared with outsiders; only we can see it!]
[Finally, we know whether the big shot is male or female, sob.]
[Remember to let me know when the photos are uploaded! I'm off to Venus Group to pick up some wedding candy.]
[Holy crap, I almost forgot, I'm going too.]
Luke scratched his head and replied.
[Please take a pill]: Get one for me too.
Venus Group's wedding favors are all custom-made exclusively worldwide, and I've heard the chocolates inside are delicious.
Luke turned off his phone, also quite confused.
He never expected that someone of the Diviner's status in the O Continent's divination world would come to this tomb.
Admittedly, this tomb is very difficult for modern fortune tellers. If they were to open the tomb this time and try to reach the center, it would be easy for more than a dozen people to die or be injured.
But for a master fortune teller, it's still just child's play.
Light and graceful footsteps sounded, and Luke's heart jumped into his throat, his palms sweating with nervousness.
He stiffened, took several deep breaths, and then turned around.
Ying Zijing took off her mask and walked over, nodding slightly with composure: "Hello."

Bonus chapter this afternoon =3=, we're just over a hundred votes away from making the top three, remember to vote in the last two days!
The Weibo user 【萝卜要吃萝卜】 is a scammer. I initially didn't want to deal with them anymore, but so many people have fallen for it. They have the audacity to impersonate me in several groups, claiming to be offering autographs to readers. Do they even know the book's title? They even said that *Ying Huang* is based on themselves! Me??? Anyone who has read *Ying Huang* knows I especially hate impersonation.
