Higan did not want to leave.
From Tang Ling's escape to Samuel's appearance and everything that Samuel said, Higan knew that if she wanted to know more about Tang Ling, she would have to go through Miss Samuel.
However, when Samuel's figure disappeared into the house behind the garden square, Higan turned around and followed the others.
No matter how much she wanted to know about Tang Ling, she had to be patient. She should not add to Tang Ling's troubles at such a sensitive time.
**
"Is she gone?" Samuel asked the maidservant beside him while he was on his way to the main hall.
The maidservant beside her was holding a palm-sized box that projected a screen in the air, monitoring every corner of the Coral Palace.
When Samuel asked the maidservant, the maidservant skillfully pressed the button. The screen kept changing and eventually stopped at Higan's image.
Higan looked calm as she followed Han Xing and the others to Lighthouse Street. Be it her expression or gaze, there was no hint of emotion on her face.
Samuel glanced sideways at Higan on the screen and said softly, "Smart girl."
Compared to Omir's last-minute effort to understand Tang Ling, Samuel seemed to have a much deeper understanding of Tang Ling.
Samuel had her own long-term plans and ambitions. She needed to understand all the seeds that might stir up a storm in this era.
Of course, Tang Feng was the man that Samuel admired the most, so how could Samuel not know about his two sons?
Therefore, he also had a better understanding of Higan and Samuel.
Truth be told, Higan's behavior tonight was out of Samuel's expectations. In the eyes of the public, based on everything he knew, Higan was Tang Ling's fangirl. She trusted everything that Tang Ling said and did unconditionally and she would lose control of herself at any moment because of Tang Ling.
Therefore, Samuel even came up with a plan to deal with Higan after the incident.
Tang Ling knew all about it, but he did not comment on it. However, Tang Ling did not comment on the so-called plans. He grumbled, "Higan is not an idiot. It's all up to her whether she wants to think about it or not."
Samuel thought Tang Ling was protecting his lover, but it seemed like he was not exaggerating at all.
"What an interesting group of people. I'm afraid this era won't be lonely anymore." Samuel arrived at the main hall while thinking about all kinds of disturbing things.
There was a window in the main hall that Tang Ling had broken earlier, but it was magically mended. Even the glass shards on the floor were gone.
"You can all leave." After arriving here, Samuel dismissed all the people who followed her.
These girls were Samuel's cronies, but some matters were of great importance. Even if they were his cronies, they couldn't be exposed.
The others complied and left.
At this time, Samuel took off his armor. He seemed to be very tired and wanted to rest for a while before contacting his family.
But after waiting for a few minutes, Samuel suddenly walked to the middle of the pool and jumped in.
**
Tang Ling waited in the crystal ball.
It was true that the pool was connected to the sea, but as the life-saving passageway for the previous owners of the Coral Palace, it would be naive to think that there was only one passageway that led to the sea.
As a matter of fact, the passageway at the bottom of the pool was complicated and there were all kinds of hidden mechanisms. Some of the mechanisms were even super-advanced machines. Without the correct map and some passageways, anyone who entered the pool would be digging their own graves instead of escaping.
The passageway was one of the Poseidon family's secrets on the Island of Ocean Tear. Even though Samuel had struck a deal with Tang Ling, she did not reveal the map to him. All she gave him was a small part of the passageway and told him to wait for her there.
"If I tell you the map of the passageway, I'll be betraying my family." That was what Samuel told Tang Ling.
Tang Ling accepted the explanation. He was not afraid that Samuel would burn the bridge after he crossed it. After he killed Omir, Samuel would go back on her words and trap him here until he died.
Even though Samuel was a smart woman, Tang Ling had his own ways to guard against her.
While he waited in boredom, he sat down in the crystal ball and started to cultivate.
Since he had the nutrient paste with him, it did not matter what kind of cultivation environment he was in as long as the crystal ball had enough energy and could provide him with oxygen.
About forty minutes later, Ye Zichen was in a daze.
The cave that Tang Ling was in, which was the end of the small tunnel that Samuel had given him, finally came the sound of flowing water.
Tang Ling opened his eyes and saw Samuel swimming to the crystal ball like a nimble fish. He looked at Tang Ling with a teasing gaze.
"You sure know how to seize every minute." Samuel's tone was a little teasing, but in fact, she didn't feel relaxed at all.
A top-notch genius who was as cunning as a fox and had a calm temperament. Most importantly, he was also diligent. Such a person would not make others feel relaxed at all.
"Waiting is boring." Tang Ling stood up from the crystal ball.
At that moment, Samuel looked at Tang Ling and suddenly flashed a mysterious smile. He stepped back into the water and twisted a switch in the hole. The way he did it was rather complicated.
Then, a big rock fell down from the hole and sealed the whole cave. As the cave was sealed, a big hole appeared at the bottom of the cave.
The seawater in the cave leaked out from the big hole. In less than three minutes, the cave that was filled with seawater was dried up and lights were lit up on both sides of the cave.
Samuel landed on the ground and looked at Tang Ling without saying a word. Her gaze was probing Tang Ling.
Tang Ling smiled faintly. He grabbed Omir's body and came out from the crystal ball.
"You sure are calm. Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you? Did you come out just like that? "Samuel asked a seemingly boring question.
"If you want to do something to me, what can I do if I don't come out?" Tang Ling looked at Samuel and calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Samuel tilted her head and sized Tang Ling up. She was a little unwilling to admit defeat. As outstanding as she was, she always felt like she was suppressed by Tang Ling in everything.
"Kill me? You wouldn't dare. You're too paranoid. If I tell you that I'm completely defenseless, would you believe me? "Tang Ling chuckled and spat out a mouthful of smoke. He then tossed Omir's body between them.
"Alright, let's begin," Tang Ling said calmly as he looked at Omir's body.
