But, what Xiaoke didn't understand was why the female thief was so lenient towards the male thief. When the male thief wanted to stay alone with her, the female thief didn't say anything … Could it be that the couple was just a title, and they were just partners, not a real couple?
At that thought, Xiaoke felt that it was very possible- on the way here, she didn't notice that the male thief and the female thief had an intimate relationship, and they didn't seem to communicate much …
"You … Do you need something … from me?" The usually bold female thief Xiaoke was a little shy now.
"It's nothing- I'll send you out of the valley, and you can go the other way. Don't meet the female thief again, or it won't do you any good." Lin Yi didn't notice Xiaoke's expression- Lin Yi was thinking about whether or not he should go back to the tomb. After all, the notes mentioned the Skybolt pig, and Lin Yi was very interested in this little beast. If he wanted to find the Fire Spirit's Fruit, he couldn't leave this little fellow. No matter what, Lin Yi had to go look for it.
"Female thief? Does she want to hurt me? "Xiaoke paused.
"Nope, but I don't want you two to meet again." Lin Yi didn't want to explain it- at least, he didn't want to reveal his identity in front of Xiaoke. Once he did, Lingshan's identity would be revealed as well, and it'd be awkward for him to see Xiaoke again. Plus, this was a secret mission, and the fewer people who knew, the better.
"Oh …" Lin Yi's words were a little ambiguous, and Xiaoke misunderstood. She thought that Lin Yi was really interested in her, and he was afraid that the female thief would hurt her. Thinking about how she was about to part ways with Lin Yi, Xiaoke felt a little sad, "Then … Will I be able to see you again?"
"I don't think so …" Lin Yi frowned. He didn't know if he should cry or laugh at the weird feelings in Xiaoke's words. Did Xiaoke really think that he liked her? But Lin Yi didn't lie to her- this was probably the last time he would appear in front of Xiaoke as the male thief. After this mission, Lin Yi wouldn't pretend to be the male thief anymore, and the male thief had been killed by Yutian a long time ago. There wouldn't be a male thief in this world anymore.
"Oh …" Xiaoke was a little disappointed- she felt a little lost. This was the first man she had fallen for. Although she didn't know what he looked like, she didn't know his real name either …
Other than that, Xiaoke didn't know anything else about the male thief. She hadn't seen him before, and from what he said, it seemed like they wouldn't meet again.
"I'll send you out, and I'll go back to the tomb," Lin said.
"You … You still want to go back?" Xiaoke froze.
"Yeah, I want to go into the death door. Maybe there's something I'm looking for inside!" Lin Yi said.
"How about … I go with you?" Xiaoke blushed, "Although I'm a little clumsy … But I should be able to help …"
Xiaoke didn't want to leave Lin Yi, even if it was just a little longer. From what Lin Yi said, he didn't seem to have any other feelings for her. So after today, they might not meet again.
And Xiaoke wouldn't accept any more missions from the Thief's Door. If she accepted another mission like this one, she would really die without Lin Yi.
"Alright, let's go together then." Lin Yi thought about it and nodded. Lin Yi's plan was to have Xiaoke accompany him. Although Lin Yi had the jade, his understanding of the tomb's mechanisms wasn't as good as Xiaoke's. Especially after Xiaoke put the life door and death door together, Lin Yi's idea was even stronger.
Xiaoke was happy. Going back to the tomb would mean going to the death door again. It might be dangerous, but she didn't know why, but she felt a sense of security when she was with the male thief. It was as if nothing could hurt her as long as he was there.
"Are we going back now?" Xiaoke asked.
"Yeah, I'll bring you back." Lin Yi said as he carried Xiaoke and put her under his armpit. He quickly ran back to the cave.
Xiaoke didn't think that Lin Yi would carry her and run back. She was a little shy, but she didn't struggle. It felt good.
Lin Yi was a Mystic class master. After using his pure qi, he could maintain his fastest speed back to the life door and death door. He didn't need to rest along the way. But Xiaoke was different. She needed to rest from time to time, so Lin Yi took her place.
General Weiwu was a Mystic class dog as well. It wasn't hard for him to follow behind Lin Yi.
And so, the man and dog began to run through the life door, not resting at all. You Xiaoke, on the other hand, didn't feel as nervous and worried as she was in the tomb, and she felt very safe, so she took a nap midway.
Lin Yi put Xiaoke down when they returned to the life door and death door.
"So fast?" Xiaoke felt that Lin Yi didn't take much time to run back. She was surprised.
"It doesn't take long for a Mystic class master to run at full speed. Elder Yu is even faster." Lin Yi said, "Alright, let's not study this. The puzzle on the ground is the picture on the death door, right? As long as we put the pieces together, we can open the death door? "
"That should be the case, but there's a pattern to the death door's puzzle. Every piece of the puzzle can't be moved randomly, or it'll bring unexpected danger," Xiaoke nodded.
"Okay, you guide me," Lin Yi nodded, "Tell me which piece to move, and I'll move it."
"Ah … Okay!" Xiaoke wanted to say how dangerous it was. But she knew Lin Yi's personality. He did all the dangerous things along the way, even when Old Hei and Elder Yu were here. Not to mention when they were alone, Lin Yi protected her all the way. He definitely wouldn't let her move the pieces.
Lin Yi walked over and stood in front of the death door. He was ready to move the pieces.
"Move this piece to the left first," Xiaoke pointed at a piece on the death door.
"This piece? Okay. " Lin Yi put his hand on the piece. The jade didn't give off any warning signal. Lin Yi was relieved and moved the piece.
