Chapter 33: Arc 2-chapter 14
As they both continued their journey through the Underground palace. They reached a room full of skeletons.
Xiao Ninger strangely didn't feel anything , she's apathetic to it like ...she's used to it . Thinking she's hallucinating again she didn't think much of it.
Tian on the other hand isn't so different but he is apathetic for a different reason . Mystic eyes gave him a deep understanding of death as he grew up and he grew accepted to the fact that death is part of life especially in this world where weakness is even worse punishment than death. Not to mention him being mostly a divine being in body by this point in time. He considers demon beasts and humans as equals . If killing demon beasts is seen as glory and survival while killing a human is seen as murder from human's perspective then he would rather be a beast that doesn't discriminate between beasts and humans.
{ A.N: This doesn't justifies murderers , life is precious. My MC is f*cked up due to the Cultivation world . If he thinks like us in that world , he might as well die so, I think you get it.. }
Both of them saw a huge coffin in the middle which was opened up.
Xiao Ninger: It seems this is already a looted place
Xiao Tian : no, this is recently opened . Look there's still hand prints on the coffin's door .
He can also feel the residual intent but what surprised him most is , the coffin belongs to Emperor Kong Ming but kong min doesn't belong to this era , he's very old guy , even an ancestor of Meirong. Meirong don't have a reason to lie to him about Kong ming .
He used 'Devour' on the residual intent as he gained memories from the residues. It is still a expert's Intent , it tried to fight back but the Quetzalcoatl which is empowered with primordial blood devoured it easily.
Xiao Tian : ' Intresting, so kong ming is born centuries back but used some unknown method to jump back in time to escape from Sage Emperor . However the Sage Emperor of past also identified him as he got even more powerful in that time period and again used unknown method to come back but ...why all the hastle , I mean he could easily become supreme rank with his talent , what's stopping him from becoming one. I need to ask Meirong about this'
Xiao Ninger: Oh right, why didn't Goddess Meirong come with you ,I'm sure she can shrink in size and no one can find about her.
Xiao Tian: she said she's busy with something .
Xiao Ninger: I see .
Xiao Tian: Anyway , let me show you the vaults I found , you can take anything you fancy . In my opinion, nothing is suitable for you though, even from the treasure I obtained...
Xiao Ninger: Let's go then , I don't want to waste time here.
Xiao Tian: No, its best to see for yourselves once. Who knows you may find something you fancy , there might not be relics here but I like the gold here.
They both searched for small vaults , Ning'er didn't take much except for a certain locket . Then ,they returned to regroup with others.
Xiao Ninger: oh! It seems Nie lie and others are here ..
They both reached the treasury room and saw the Sulking faces of everyone including Nie lie who is in deep thinking but once he saw Xiao Tian , he narrowed his eyes.
Nie lei and Ye ziyun arrived here few hours back, and they saw a hole on the roof . Even the rest of the group that dug from above just extended that hole.
Nie lie is completely aware of how things are supposed to happen. Chen lenjian and group are successful in this expedition in the first timeline , they searched everywhere but they didn't found anything here.
Everyone beleived that someone already were there before them and they are not just lucky but Nie lie is not convinced. Sure , Shen Yue and his Sacred family guards might be responsible for this but the space is just too big and they need multiple storage rings to save everything not to mention the pissed off looks they have says even they are feeling dissapointed after all the struggle they had to face when entering the ruins.
This situation is an anomaly and the only other anomaly here is Xiao Tian. He didn't doubt Xiao Ninger because she didn't do anything in previous expedition , she even refused to come. Not to mention he spoke with her during this expedition and he can say she's a good character.
Xiao Tian looks plain in his eyes , it's as if he's nothing special and he's sure because he couldn't sense anything from him , that's what makes him even more dangerous. Not to mention he don't know for what reason he left in his previous life , he might turn out into someone evil .
Nie lie decided to test him , he generally doesn't care but this time , he knows that a God level growth demon beast is here and don't want to loose it.
Nie lie : Ah , Xiao Ning'er , brother Xiao Tian. I'm glad that you guys are back . We are worried that since you never
Xiao Tian already sensed that Nie lie is suspicious of him but he came prepared.
Nie lie shook his hands which has storage ring he uses in public , while smiling warmly but Tian knows it's fake however he thinks something else in his mind while Nie lie just as planned , sents soul force into his rings ejecting everything out of the rings in his hands .
Xiao Tian : ' Damn, this old monster atleast have handsome face even after Transmigrating , lucky bastard. I got a below average face after my Transmigration, it's unfair Destiny!'
Chen lenjian , Ye ziyun , Huyan lanruo observed nie lie's behaviour and immediately deducted that Tian is suspicious , they also believe in Nie lie since he's so knowledgeable this whole time and also helped killing the silver back apes . They understood what he's doing and let him be , they don't like that some nobody dared to steal the treasures while they , the next heads of nobility has suffered.
Ofcourse, Xiao Tian grasped the Tension In the air , he generally doesn't give a sh*t but this time , he heard their thougths , which did made him raise his eye brows , despite appearing good , they all have the high and mighty side . Even though out of character, he decided to humble them a bit.
Few plain clothes and some food supplied dropped from the ring .
Nie lie finding that he's not suspicious decided to smoothly escape.
Nie lie : Oh, I apologise , it seems the residual soul force activated the storage ring.
Xiao Tian:' Sly bastard , he really is an old man '
Xiao Tian : Student Nie lie. You could have asked me if I found the treasure, you don't have to use such sly tricks. Here look, me and Ning'er actually found small vault rooms filled with heaps of gold .
Xiao Tian took out a gold bracelet from his pocket while Ning'er took out a gold pendant while Understanding what Nie lie just did . Even though she respects Nie lie's talent, she hates this arrogant attitude of his. Atleast, Her brother is humble even if he's a bit selfish . She also saw accusing gazes of others , she didn't care if her brother is in the wrong here now, she just wanted to see them feel shame.
Xiao Ning'er : We actually wanted to share this news with you young master lenjian, ziyun.I don't like that you use such sly tricks and wanted to accuse my big brother.
Xiao Ning'er told with cold tone and chen lenjian and others felt awkward as they apologized . Ye ziyun felt slightly embarrassed because even she thought he is a theif and was dissapointed that she is making her relationship with Ning'er bad again. While Nie lie was stunned that he was actually caught in a bad light . Even if he wanted to correct it , speaking any further will only makes this problem bigger .
Xiao Tian : 'well, that's unexpected but I don't mind . This isn't that big of an incident but mission is successful'
