Ning Shu had completely lost this round. Fortunately, Jiu Si had tactfully turned his head away. There was one less person to witness her embarrassment and shyness at this moment.
On the other side, seeing Tianwen gasping for breath as he climbed out of the grave, Ning Shu hurriedly jumped out of Xiahou Qing's arms as if she had been electrocuted. Acting like a gentleman, she couldn't wait to get as far away from Xiahou Qing as possible.
Tianwen didn't know what was going on. He ran over with the shovel covered in dirt, sweating profusely. He looked around and suddenly felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. His keen gossiping radar rang, and his intuition told him that he had missed something interesting. He looked curiously at his Shizi, then at the blushing Ning Shu, and finally at Jiu Si.
Fortunately, Jiu Si was a very reliable person. He expressionlessly helped Ning Shu out of the situation. "What did you find in the grave?"
Tianwen wiped his sweat. "Ah! There were no funerary objects in the grave. The clothes were all rotten. Other than a handful of bones, there was nothing else. Lady Ning, why don't you go take a look? "
Ning Shu walked over to the open coffin and looked around. Sure enough, there was nothing. The bones had been dried and brittle by the passage of time. Nothing could be found. Ning Shu bowed solemnly to the tomb owner and said sorry for the disturbance.
Tianwen curiously asked, "What do we do next?"
Ning Shu shaded her eyes with her hand and looked up at the dazzling golden crow wheel in the sky. She mysteriously said, "Wait."
Tianwen didn't know what she was trying to do, but since she wanted them to wait, she must have her reasons. Since he was sweaty and tired, it was good to take the opportunity to rest.
Thus, the group sat leisurely under the lush hundred-year-old tree to enjoy the cool air. They also ate lunch while they were at it. It was already past noon, but the graveyard was still quiet. Other than them, there were no other ghosts. Ning Shu clapped her hands regretfully, waking up Tianwen who was dozing off. She stood up and said, "Sure enough, that person didn't come. Restore the coffin to its original state and bury it back."
Heaven's Inquisition rubbed his face in dismay. "You didn't do anything, and you buried it back just like that? Then what's the point of all my hard work? "
"Who says it's meaningless? Our guess has already been confirmed. Your Highness, don't you agree?"
Satisfied to see Xiahou Qing nodding his head in agreement, Ning Shu smiled in satisfaction. But soon, she smacked her lips and said in distress, "But now it's a little difficult to fish that person out. Do I really have to activate my killer move?"
Tian Wen Hao asked curiously: "What killer move?"
Ning Shu blinked and eagerly asked, "Tianwen, do you think it's a little immoral to set fire to the ancestral grave of the Xue family?"
Heaven's Inquisition: "…" That's more than a little immoral. This was simply insane and immoral, okay!!!
"But in order to solve this case, I have no choice but to be immoral. The ancestors of the Xue family are all loyal people. They know that I'm doing this to solve the current predicament of the Yue family, so they definitely won't hold it against me." In a short while, Ning Shu had finished explaining herself and ordered, "Tianwen, light the fire!"
What? You're really going to light the fire? Lady Ning, if you want to be immoral, go do it yourself. Why do you have to drag me down with you?! In just 20 short years, Tianwen had doubts about life for the first time. He also had serious doubts about his Crown Prince's vision …
A torch was lit.
Ning Shu held the torch and walked indifferently into the depths of the cemetery. She stopped in front of the tombstone of the founding ancestor of the Xue family. The tombstone might have once been majestic and solemn, and was revered by thousands of people. But now, it had been eroded beyond recognition by the wind and rain. Only the blurry engravings could barely make out the name of the great founding general.
Ning Shu stood in front of the tombstone and looked at it coldly for a while. Then, she reached out her hand and licked the flickering flame on the tombstone that was riddled with holes.
The flame spread along the tombstone to the withered branches and weeds on the ground. Just as the fire was about to engulf the entire cemetery, a cold arrow flew over from a hundred steps away, emitting a cold light!
Ning Shu ducked and dodged it as if she had eyes on the back of her head. She shouted at Xiahou Qing: "Your Highness, reel in the net!"
