Leng Ling Shuang heard that the Xie Clan had lost many people in the ancient tomb and guessed that it’d be dangerous to go deep inside. She didn’t want to be dragged down by Yu Qing Qian and the others.
“Cousin, the terrain in the ancient tomb is very complex, and if everyone is together, it may not be easy to escape if we encounter a dangerous mechanism.”
Chi Mo Ran glanced at Leng Ling Shuang coldly. Just when he was about to speak, Feng Chen spoke first.
“What Young Miss Leng said is right, I also think we should separate.”
Hearing what Feng Chen said, Chi Mo Ran no longer forced, “Then when we get to the fork in the road ahead, let’s each take a path.”
Feng Chen nodded and said: “Sure!”
He didn’t know why the Chi Clan was interested in the ancient tomb, but he had an intuition that the other party’s intentions weren’t trivial. There might be something more attractive in the ancient tomb and it’d be more beneficial for both parties to separate.
He heard that Leng Ling Shuang was a dual-class Spiritual Plant Master and also had divination abilities. The look she showed just now was a little anxious, so there must be something to it.
Chi Wei was exploring the road ahead. When he reached the forked road deep in the alley, Chi Mo Ran said: “Crown Prince Chen, you choose one first, then we’ll take the other.”
Feng Chen wasn’t polite either and pointed to a road on the right: “Then we’ll go this way.”
Since Chi Mo Ran asked them to choose the path, it meant that the other party may only know that there was something they needed in the ancient tomb, but they weren’t sure about the direction and location—which was easier to handle.
“Then be careful, I hope we can still have a chance to meet.” Chi Mo Ran nodded, glanced at Yu Qing Qian vaguely, then turned around and left on the left road with the others.
Chi Xuan and the others who were following Chi Mo Ran were a little puzzled by his actions. Judging from Chi Mo Ran’s cold and indifferent temperament, he shouldn’t be so humble and polite to Feng Chen and his party.
Although Feng Chen was the crown prince of Feng Li Kingdom, but as the Young Lord of the Seven Great Clans, Chi Mo Ran’s status wasn’t inferior either.
Feng Chen led the others to walk carefully on the right path. He also took out a mechanism compass and tested it around, turning some hidden grooves on both sides of the wall from time to time.
Although the map and mechanisms given by City Lord Lu were different from the path they took, but the distribution of the mechanisms was still relatively similar. Feng Chen was very smart, and it was much easier to crack the mechanisms after understanding them.
“Chi Mo Ran and the others seem to be here for something in the ancient tomb.” Huo Li Ruo said as they walked.
Huo Ye Feng agreed: “Judging from Leng Ling Shuang’s expression, she must’ve predicted something.”
The reason why Leng Ling Shuang had the same status as a legitimate daughter in the Chi Clan wasn’t only because of her relationship with Leng Yu Jun, but also because her prophecies had brought a lot of benefits to the Chi Clan.
For example, she once predicted that there might be concentrate iron ore suitable for casting weapons in a barren mountain. Many people didn’t believe it at first, and the Leng Clan even scorned her.
The Patriarch of the Chi Clan asked someone to buy the hilltop. After mining, concentrate iron ore was discovered, which brought a lot of benefits to the Chi Clan.
Since then, Leng Ling Shuang’s prophecies had begun to receive attention, but the Chi Clan had also protected her, making it difficult for others to get news of the prophecies.
Because of her talent for divination and her high status among the younger generations of the Chi Clan, as well as her gentle and beautiful appearance, Leng Ling Shuang was pursued by many pupils of the aristocratic families, both in the Central Continent and in the Northern Royal Academy.
“Should we follow and have a look?” Yue Yun Yang had also heard about Leng Ling Shuang and looked at Feng Chen, asking.
Feng Chen said calmly: “No need, what should be ours won’t run away.”
