Chapter 1383: Obvious Hint

Quite a few people snorted in their hearts. Split evenly? That’s nonsense!

Everyone present wasn’t naive. If they really saw a treasure, how would they obediently wait to split it evenly? At that time, they would definitely fight for it, and it would probably be a situation where only one party could leave!

But… Seeing Chu Yue’s previous att.i.tude, there might actually be something inside. We can first work together to break open this barrier.

“I’ll do it!”

“Me too!”

Almost everyone expressed their agreement one after another. Hence, after a short discussion, the crowd present started attacking at the same time! They tried their best to break open that barrier!

…

Chu Liuyue, who was far away, turned around to take a look.

Although she couldn’t see anything from here, she could still roughly guess the situation of the tomb. She hoped that the barrier Shangguan Jing left behind was strong enough to last for a while…

“It’s right inside,” said the elder at the front.

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately retracted her gaze and looked over.

It was filled with snow. The crystal and translucent snowflakes gathered together in one thick stack.

At this point, it was the darkest time of night. Hence, the icy snow looked even colder than in the day.

She followed the people in front of her and stood still.

Then, that elder went up alone.

Chu Liuyue stood behind him and could only see his arms waving around.

Very quickly, thick snow started rapidly melting on the ground. The ground started to reveal itself!

She focused her gaze, and her heart seemed to be clutched by something tightly! It was just one glance, but she saw that there was another compartment below the ground.

As expected, that elder flew down and knocked twice on the ground.

Ka—

Following an extremely soft sound, an entrance appeared in the ground! It was pitch black, and one couldn’t see anything at all.

It brought with it a hint of coldness that caused one’s heart to tremble.

n.o.body knew what exactly was beneath the surface.

“Go ahead—” That elder turned around and glanced at Chu Liuyue extremely coldly. “Ms. Shangguan.”

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. As expected… When they said Mu Qinghe’s name, I had already guessed that the other party knew my ident.i.ty. This is also why I chose to come over so swiftly. Not many people know of my double ident.i.ty at the moment. Even Jiang Zhiyuan is doubtful, but

she can’t confirm it. Yet, these people seem very confident. Also… they clearly seem to know much more than me!

Without hesitation, Chu Liuyue flew down and walked to that entrance.

She glanced below and saw a cold and dark staircase.

She walked down.

…

Thump!

Not long after she went down, the few people sealed the entrance again.

What surprised Chu Liuyue was that they actually didn’t follow her down; this caused her heart to sink. This was because it didn’t mean that they were less alert if they let her go down. On the contrary… it meant that there was an even stronger existence here. Hence, they could leave so easily and allow her to come in herself!

Isolated, cold, dark, and oppressive.

Only Chu Liuyue’s footsteps kept reverberating throughout the entire s.p.a.ce.

Very quickly, she saw a person. She was too familiar with that figure.

He was sitting on the ground and leaning against the walls motionlessly. His hands and legs were all cuffed to the square patch of ground.

His clothes were messy and even had some bloodstains. His aura was slightly weak, and he looked very disheveled.

If it weren’t for the slight heaving of his chest, Chu Liuyue might think that he was already dead.

“Mu Qinghe.” She paused and spoke softly.

Hearing the voice, the man—who had his head down the whole time—finally moved. He looked up hesitantly.

When he saw Chu Liuyue, confusion flashed across his face. But very quickly, he recognized Chu Liuyue’s ident.i.ty.

His white and dried lips trembled slightly as if he had a lot to say. But in the end, he just looked down again. ” …Greetings, Your Highness!”

Chu Liuyue walked down the stairs and stood there for a while, just staring at Mu Qinghe.

If it weren’t for his reply, she wouldn’t even dare to confirm that the frail, skinny, and disheveled man in front of her was once the arrogant and prideful Mu Qinghe that had followed her for so many years.

For some reason, her heart seemed to be harshly hit by something when she saw this scene, and it ached. She didn’t know if it was for him or for herself.

Once, they fought hand in hand in battle. Now, they were almost pointing swords at each other.

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and surveyed her surroundings. Then, her gaze focused.

There was a gigantic copper mirror in the middle. This copper mirror was very familiar.

She stared at it for a few seconds before a thought flashed across her mind! This is exactly the same copper mirror as the one I saw in the study of the Beiming Dynasty’s Crown Prince!

“Shangguan Yue.” A low and hoa.r.s.e voice suddenly sounded from the copper mirror.

Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered, and her lips curled up slightly. “At this point, you’re still not willing to reveal yourself?”

The other party chuckled. “It seems like you’re very curious about me.”

Chu Liuyue’s smile was even deeper. “Mu Qinghe… is actually your person, right? If I didn’t guess wrongly, Jiang Yucheng seems to have the same ident.i.ty too?”

“You’re as smart as before.” The other party actually admitted to it in a straightforward and confident manner. He wasn’t afraid that Chu Liuyue would cause any scene. “Smart people only ever make smart choices. I believe… you should also know why I invited you over here.”

Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes slightly and raised her brows. “I’m sorry. I don’t know; I hope you could enlighten me.”
