Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 188: No Relationship
When Tang Zheng said these two words, he was actually holding the teacup very tightly.
He sat with his back to the door of the room. He didn't turn around, but his ears were perked up to listen to the movements behind him.
The short five seconds of silence made him feel that this room was quieter than ever before...
However , five seconds later, a creaking sound made Tang Zheng's heart completely settle down!
"Fortunately, this is a game that is at least 90% complete." He stood up with a smile, then turned around and looked at the maid who came in dragging a tea tray.
The brighter light outside also shone into the room through the open door.
One of the two maids was clearing the tray in the middle of the table, while the other was putting the tea tray on the table.
Tang Zheng certainly would not stay in this room any longer. He stood up and prepared to go outside...
But, for some reason, he turned his head as if possessed, and saw a small light golden notebook beside the bed covered with gauze.
If it was just a small notebook, it wouldn't attract much of his attention.
However, he could see that the thread binding on the small notebook was all purple gold thread!
That's pure gold.
How could pure gold, which is so soft, be used as book binding? It is so thin and soft that if the book is turned over, it will fall apart.
Tang Zheng didn't have time to think about it. He rushed over and took the notebook. Without even flipping through it, he rushed out the door again.
"Huh...it's out." For the first time, he felt that the air in the cemetery was much fresher than the air in the boudoir.
He didn't have the slightest chance to show off his skills and experience as a professional gamer. The most he could say was that he had some experience in dealing with bugs, but that wasn't anything to brag about.
Apart from the one hundred taels of purple gold coins in his arms, which were of negligible value to him, and a small notebook bound with purple gold thread in his hands, he had wasted such a long time doing nothing.
However, just as he was about to continue talking to the NPC and find other tasks to leave the Hades Palace, he heard Tang Xiaotang's voice: "Master, you are coming out too?"
Tang Zheng raised his head and realized that the moment he stepped out of the room, he was not returning to the Underworld Palace, but had already left the Underworld Palace.
It just came out like that?
Then, it was Ning Mo's voice: "Mr. Tang, Leng Zhan was slightly injured."
"Well, let me take a look." Tang Zheng casually put the notebook into his pocket and walked over to check Leng Zhan's injuries.
…
They were all warriors from aristocratic academies. The academy taught them to carry basic medicine with them at all times. However, the medicine that Leng Zhan brought with him was obviously ineffective.
Tang Zheng took out the medicine he brought with him and handed it to Leng Zhan: "What's going on?"
"The people who came to attack the backyard... let's just count them as humans. There are too many of them. I'm not good at night battles."
"But you still won." Tang Zheng looked at the unnatural blush on Leng Zhan's face, "Did you encounter a boss... well, that is, a thing of the same kind as those 'people', but with higher strength?"
"Yes." Leng Zhan glanced at Tang Zheng, seeming to wonder how he knew.
"Did it drop anything?" Tang Zheng was eager to know how creative the maker of this underworld palace was.
When Tang Zheng saw Leng Zhan nod and take out a brocade box from his arms, his thoughts were confirmed.
Not bad! It's really good!
In his previous life on Earth, the first person who came up with the idea of "I want to make a game" was already great, and this "first person" on Xingyao Continent obviously thought more and came up with richer ways of playing.
"What is this?" Tang Xiaotang looked towards Leng Zhan.
"I don't know, but it should be a precious elixir." Leng Zhan shook his head. Considering his background, how could an elixir that he had never seen not be precious?
Tang Xiaotang also reached into her collar and pulled out her trophy: "They gave me this necklace..."
Tang Xiaotang hadn't responded yet, but Ning Mo and Leng Zhan were both stunned.
The pattern on the necklace is not complicated, but its pattern is not on the surface!
"An Ke!" Leng Zhan took a deep breath, "How could there be something like this in the graveyard of the old senior?"
Didn’t Xu Qingyan say that there wouldn’t be anything too valuable in the Underworld Palace?
If engraved accessories are not considered expensive, then what is expensive?
When Tang Zheng saw the necklace, he also thought of his Yuhua Seal. After leaving the cemetery, he would write a letter to ask Lu Huang if he had encountered any problems in repairing the Yuhua Seal.
Currently on the Xingyao Continent, the highest level of accessory engraving technology is Qing engraving, and Qing engraving requires the joint efforts of the two major forces of Yaoshan Tribe and Bailianfang to complete.
Most accessories still use the embossed craftsmanship.
"It's actually the lost secret." Tang Zheng also laughed as he looked at it, " I'm telling the truth, Xiaotang, don't be angry."
"When have I ever been angry at what the teacher said?" Xiaotang muttered.
"In fact, among all the 'missions' that everyone received in the Hades Palace, Xiaotang's mission should be the least difficult. However, she received a dark-engraved accessory... Do you know what this means?"
"..." Leng Zhan's indifferent eyes finally showed a trace of hesitation. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the brocade box in his hand.
Tang Xiaotang can get a hidden accessory, what about him?
Similarly, Tang Zheng also looked at him: "Your mission should be the most difficult one!"
Tang Zheng didn't need to say more about the following. Leng Zhan couldn't imagine how precious the things in the brocade box he got would be!
"So, Master, what did you get?" Tang Xiaotang asked Tang Zheng.
"Oh...you gave me a box of this..." Tang Zheng took out the box of purple gold Tong Bao, touched his nose, and still didn't finish the second half of the sentence "It wasn't given by someone else, I found it
Anyway, he wasn't going to explain what a bug was.
When Tang Xiaotang saw what Tang Zheng got, she burst into laughter: "For others, this is also a considerable fortune, but for you, Master..."
She seemed to see tragedy written all over Tang Zheng's face.
Tang Zheng himself was quite helpless. This thing really didn't have much use for him.
The only difference is that this box seems to be commemorative coins, which is different from ordinary purple gold Tongbao coins. It would be nice to keep it as a collection, which is better than having nothing.
Afterwards, Ning Mo also showed off his trophies.
In fact... he didn't need to show it, Tang Zheng had already seen it. It was a short knife, fiery red all over, as dazzling as the sun, which could attract people's attention at first sight.
This dagger had no scabbard, and Tang Zheng couldn't tell its grade, but it was clear that it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
"It should be a good thing. However, it is useless to me." Ning Mo smiled bitterly, "I don't practice this system."
As he said that, he was about to hand the thing to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng also understood his bitter smile. It was just like the sponsor he had led before. After playing N rounds, he still couldn't get equipment that he could use. It was really depressing.
However, the two weapons in Tang Zheng's hands were already very good. The short knife Ning Mo got was slightly different from the dagger he was used to using, so it would not be easy to use. He could only say, "I'm not using it for the time being, so you can put it away first."
Ning Mo nodded and put the dagger back into his waist.
"Has Jiang Wuyan not come out of the Underworld Palace yet?" Tang Zheng asked while scanning this independent space.
From the entrance to the cemetery to the Hades Palace, it was very clean, and the Hades Palace was even very bright.
However, the light in this place was not very sufficient, and they needed to use the stars to keep it bright. Moreover, it looked a little damp, and the cleanliness was far inferior to the previous road.
If Tang Zheng hadn't seen a bloodstain in the corner, he would almost think that they had taken the wrong road.
"That bloodstain is very fresh. It should be left by one of Li Zhi and his group." Ning Mo had also noticed the bloodstain a long time ago. "It should be the person who walked last. He was injured and didn't say anything. Otherwise, he would have been cleaned up."
"Yeah." Tang Zheng had also seen how meticulous Lu Wantang was.
"Just wait here for Jiang Wuyan, he should be here soon." Tang Xiaotang said.
When she was in Wulong Town before, the leader of the Zhaixing Sect was like the stars in the sky to her. She could only look up to them and not desecrate them.
Unexpectedly, one day, she would be admitted to the coveted Yisu Academy and become equal to such a figure.
"Well, Jiang Wuyan is very careful. He must have discovered something in there that delayed him. Just wait." The person Tang Zheng was least worried about was Jiang Wuyan. From the moment this man appeared on the mountain and confronted him for the first time, he knew that this was someone he would remember.
As a sect leader, Jiang Wuyan has his majestic side in front of the inner disciples of the Zhaixing Sect, but more often than not, he shows his upbringing and attentiveness.
For example, at the entrance of the waterfall, he asked Meng Fenghua to stay...
Even Tang Zheng took two seconds to realize that Jiang Wuyan chose to keep Meng Fenghua because Meng Fenghua had a younger sister who needed care!
All of them can have accidents, except Meng Fenghua.
For Xiao Lingling, she is the only person who cannot be lost.
Also because he is the son of the sect and cares about all the disciples of the sect, Jiang Wuyan has regarded "considering others" as a habit and instinct.
"It should be fine even if we are not careful." Ning Mo nodded and said, "I have fought outside the border for a few years and have an instinct for danger, but I never felt that the Hades Palace had any intention of harming us."
"Of course..." Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart, the producer probably made it as a game. How could a normal game want to hurt people? It's not a Japanese comic or light novel.
"Is it because Senior Leng doesn't want to hurt us?" Tang Xiaotang wondered, "But, what is the relationship between the owner of the Underworld Palace and Senior Leng?"
Tang Zheng sighed and felt his head hurt again.
Several people's eyes turned to him because of his sigh: "Do you know anything?"
Tang Zheng nodded helplessly: "We all make things too complicated! In fact, between the mistress of the Hades Palace and Leng Xian's wish..."
"Huh?" Several people stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
However, Tang Zheng spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter at all!"
Tang Xiaotang exploded: "How is it possible?!"
It doesn't matter. To build such a underworld palace, is it Leng Xiangyuan who is sick or the people who built the mausoleum who are sick!
