It was no wonder that Shen Anan was so agitated. After all, tomb raiding was an act of extreme greed for wealth. It was almost a glorious tradition of the Shen family to love money.
Years of tomb raiding had also allowed them to collect a large number of ancient classics, Taoist techniques, and secret techniques. However, because their family did not inherit the Life Cluster, most of the Taoist techniques could not be cultivated.
It was one of their ancestors who discovered a method to refine and nurture corpses in an ancient tomb of the Great Chen Dynasty more than fifteen hundred years ago. The Great Chen Dynasty was the third dynasty of the Central Plains after the Western Wei and the Eastern Wei. It was also the most mysterious and short-lived of all the dynasties. It only lasted for less than 50 years before it completely collapsed.
The heretical cultivation method that the Shen family's ancestor discovered in the Great Chen Dynasty did not require the Life Cluster, so it was quickly passed down as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation.
However, although this heretical cultivation method did not require the Life Cluster, it had an extremely high requirement for materials. It could be said that it was something that one could not afford even if they sold their entire family fortune.
Therefore, in order to be able to cultivate this Taoist technique, the Shen family could only go tomb raiding generation after generation. From tomb raiding, they collected a huge amount of wealth and various sealed Taoist technique materials, as well as various Taoist classics.
As a result, their understanding of various ancient tombs, secret histories, and feng shui became more and more thorough, and their tomb raiding methods became more and more sophisticated.
Following that, Zuo Zhicheng brought Li Xunyi, Ah Hu, and Shen Anan into his residence on the same day. Of course, he only allowed them to stay in the rooms on the surface. It was impossible for them to go to the underground laboratory.
…
A few days later, on a street in Haijing, there was a hubbub of voices of merchants and ordinary people coming and going.
Zuo Zhicheng followed behind Qing Yueqiu as they walked on the bustling streets of Haijing. Compared to New Continent, this place was obviously more prosperous and lively. The streets were clean and tidy, and the roads were straight, showing the good planning of the city's builders.
Dozens of meters away from Zuo Zhicheng and the Green Moon Hill, there were more than ten guards following them. Clearly, they were there to secretly protect their safety.
But even so, Qing Yueqiu's beauty still caused some chaos on the street. Almost all the men who passed by them subconsciously stared at Qing Yueqiu for a while. There were even some who simply stared at Qing Yueqiu and forgot to watch where they were going. They directly fell or hit the wall.
However, neither Zuo Zhicheng nor Qing Yueqiu had any reaction to the situation. Their faces were still as cold as ever. One could not tell if they were happy or angry.
"Hello, Miss. Is this your first time in Haijing?" Another handsome young man came in front of Qing Yueqiu. He completely ignored Zuo Zhicheng and started to hit on Qing Yueqiu. "I'm Wang Youlun. I've lived in Haijing for more than ten years. Let me introduce you." The young man was well-dressed and looked like he came from a good family. However, when he saw Qing Yueqiu's face, he still could not bear to blaspheme. He stuttered as he spoke.
"There's no need," Qingyue Qiu said coldly. He did not even look at the other party before he left. Only Wang Youlun was left standing there with a sad face, looking at Qing Yueqiu's back.
"This is the eleventh one, right?" Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "No wonder you don't go shopping often. If I were your father, I would definitely not let you join the Shadow Corps. Your face is not suitable for underground work."
"Yes," Qing Yueqiu nodded lightly, but her eyes were fixed on the desserts on the side of the stall.
Zuo Zhicheng thought for a while and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I've never eaten it before."
"It's something like a sugar cake. It's not that good." Zuo Zhicheng was halfway through his sentence when he saw Qing Yueqiu staring at the desserts. He had no choice but to walk up and buy a bowl.
He knew that although Qing Yueqiu did not like to talk much like him, sometimes she was even more stubborn than him.
Zuo Zhicheng watched her gulp down what looked like sugar water and sugar cake in the bowl. He asked, "Is it good?"
"Yes," Qing Yueqiu nodded and did not say anything. She just continued walking forward.
Zuo Zhicheng saw this and could only follow her, "Why are you shopping today? You haven't shopped since you were young, right? To be honest, people like us are not suitable for shopping. "
"You don't like it?" Qing Yueqiu turned her head and looked at Zuo Zhicheng expressionlessly.
Zuo Zhicheng frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's not that I don't like it. I'm just not used to it."
Qing Yueqiu lowered her head, "I'm sorry. I heard that you had something to tell me and thought that you would like it."
"It's okay," Zuo Zhicheng said casually, "How's your practice going?"
"It's so-so."
What followed was a long silence. Although they did not speak, Zuo Zhicheng watched her walk past the stalls and shops. He felt that her footsteps were lighter than usual.
Suddenly, Qing Yueqiu stopped walking. Her eyes were fixed on a hair bun in a jewelry shop. The two of them stood there and looked at it for two minutes. During this time, the shop assistant came to ask if they wanted to buy Qing Yueqiu, but she did not say anything.
Zuo Zhicheng looked at the hair bun and asked, "What's wrong? Buy it if you want. "
Qing Yueqiu's chest rose and fell, but she still did not say anything. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes moved slightly as she looked at the hair bun. No one knew what she was thinking.
Zuo Zhicheng looked at the setting sun and called the shop assistant over, "How much is this hair bun? I'll take it. "
After getting the hair bun, Zuo Zhicheng handed it to Qing Yueqiu.
"Consider it a gift from me."
"Thank you," Qing Yueqiu said softly, and then left the jewelry shop.
Zuo Zhicheng looked at her hand that was holding the hair bun tightly and thought, "Why is she acting weird today?" He chased after her and asked, "Actually, I have something I need your help with."
Qing Yueqiu stopped holding the hair bun and turned around. She looked at Zuo Zhicheng with her big eyes, "What is it?"
"I have an appointment with three people to explore an ancient ruin, and I want you to come with me."
"At this time?" Qing Yueqiu paused, and then nodded, "Okay."
Zuo Zhicheng did not expect her to answer so quickly. He added, "You can think about it. After all, ancient ruins are very dangerous. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
"It's okay." Qing Yueqiu's voice was still cold, but there was a gentleness that was not usually there, "I really like exploring ancient ruins. Please take me with you this time."
