Chapter 1527: Chapter 1524: Even if it’s a trap, we have to hold our noses and jump in! (3rd Update)
"What?" Upon receiving the reply from the Tower of Truth, Nalan Zhongqin abruptly stood up, her face full of deep shock.
"Are you sure this is a message from the Tower of Truth?"
"Of course! There’s no mistake at all!" the butler hastily replied.
Nalan Zhongqin’s expression was full of doubt as she held the reply in her hand and began pacing back and forth in the room.
The letter was simple, but the meaning it represented was astonishing enough.
Because it not only detailed the location of the ancient ruins, but also thoughtfully marked when they would open.
And at the end of the letter, there was an invitation.
Inviting all parties to explore this ancient ruin together!
This news completely exceeded Nalan Zhongqin’s expectations.
She originally thought that after Xue An reached a cooperative relationship with He Yino, he would secretly explore the ruins alone.
That’s why she was the first to show goodwill to the Tower of Truth, because regardless of the ruins, the gains from them would be plentiful, and by then Xue An would definitely auction off what he couldn’t use.
It’s good to establish a relationship now, so cooperation can continue in the future.
But she never expected that Xue An would be so generous, directly inviting various forces to participate in the exploration together.
What is he up to?
Could it be that he feels unable to explore this ancient ruin alone?
Or is this ancient ruin extremely dangerous?
Ridiculous, is there any ruin in the world that is not dangerous? noveldrama
Nalan Zhongqin was full of thoughts, and in the meantime, the elders of the Auction Alliance had all rushed over upon hearing the news, but still, no one dared to speak, just quietly watched Nalan Zhongqin.
When facing these eyes shining with light in the room, Nalan Zhongqin suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile.
Enough, there’s no need to waste any more brainpower.
No matter how she speculates, it’s already too late.
Because even if she wanted not to participate now, it’s impossible!
The allure of the ancient ruins is too great, even if the path ahead is a trap or a pitfall, Nalan Zhongqin has no choice but to pinch her nose and jump in.
But even so, Nalan Zhongqin sighed slightly in her heart.
She really hated the feeling of things getting out of her control, especially such an open scheme that forced her to accept it!
And this also made her more and more interested in Xue An.
Who is this young man, really?
Despite having thoroughly investigated Xue An’s background, when she saw the simple one-page introduction, she immediately determined that it was definitely not true.
After all, how could an ordinary young man from an abandoned mining area have such power?
Who are you, really?
Meanwhile.
In the Diggers’ Guild, upon seeing the letter from the Tower of Truth, Yan Zhong almost leaped up, jumped onto the table, and screamed hoarsely: "Damn, is this really true?"
"Absolutely true!" The chief officer also had a face full of disbelief.
Yan Zhong stood on the table in silence.
The chief officer hesitantly asked, "President, no matter how you look at this, it reeks of something fishy. Why don’t we... put it aside for now and see how other parties respond?"
"Put it aside my ass!" Yan Zhong shuddered all over and immediately retorted, "By the time you see their response, the yellow grass will have grown cold!"
"But..."
"But what?" Yan Zhong waved the letter in his hand, "What is this? This is an ancient ruin! Even if it’s a pit of fire, we must grit our teeth and jump in!"
"So..." Yan Zhong took a deep breath and said seriously, "Summon all the experts out there, order them to stop everything they’re doing and come back immediately!"
"Yes!" The chief officer also hesitated no longer and bowed his head in agreement.
Soon after, various forces were completely stirred by the Tower of Truth’s communication.
Just as Yan Zhong said, although no one knew why the Tower of Truth did this, even if the road ahead was a pit of fire, everyone would rush in headlong.
After all, everyone wanted to see what really lay within the ancient relics.
Two major events have happened recently in the Alchemy realm.
The first, of course, is Xue An’s meteoric rise, first defeating the alchemy master Duan Fuxian, and later flattening the Tower of Truth, even destroying the Gatling God of the tower, which it relied on for self-defense.
Such news normally would have taken the world by storm.
But at this moment, it was nothing.
Because the second event was even more shocking, almost unbelievable.
The reason the Tower of Truth could stand so firmly was that there were ancient ruins behind it, and when this secret came to light, this Xue An actually took the initiative to invite various forces to explore the ancient ruins together.
The whole world became abuzz because of this event.
Countless people discussed it, with all sorts of opinions surfacing.
Some said it was obviously a trap, definitely hiding an unspeakable conspiracy.
Others said that Xue An apparently felt unable to unlock the ancient ruins all by himself, so he wanted to borrow the help of various forces.
But regardless, various forces responded immediately.
Amid this massive whirlpool of public opinion, the instigating Tower of Truth was unusually calm.
They didn’t even come forward to explain.
In this situation, many couldn’t help but secretly wonder.
What exactly is Xue An busy with at this moment?
He Yino stepped to the top of the tower in the center of the island, a place that offered a broad view of the vast surrounding sea, but which also meant the sea breeze was much fiercer than below, painfully stinging one’s face.
He Yino had to activate the Alchemy Barrier to walk smoothly on top.
As she reached the high platform railing, she saw Xue An standing against the wind, quietly gazing at the distant sea.
Very strange.
When standing slightly closer to Xue An, even the violent sea breeze became gentle, softly blowing around the two of them.
He Yino cast a complicated glance at Xue An’s back and whispered, "Sir, all have been notified!"
After a long while, Xue An acknowledged with a simple "Mm" without turning back.
He Yino followed Xue An’s line of sight, but could only see endless seawater, nothing different.
This made He Yino fall silent for a moment, until finally, she couldn’t help herself and whispered, "Sir, I really don’t get why you would reveal such important information to others?"
Upon hearing this, Xue An turned to look at He Yino and then chuckled, "Then how would you handle it?"
"Explore the ancient ruins alone, of course!" He Yino replied without hesitation.
Xue An chuckled and shook his head, looking back at the distant sea, and said softly, "You’re not wrong, but you’re missing something!"
At this point, Xue An paused, then spoke with a serious tone, "I didn’t come here to monopolize anything; in fact, this civilization is not something anyone can enjoy alone!"
He Yino was somewhat puzzled, because she didn’t understand what Xue An meant by this.
"It’s simple. If I want a civilization to flourish again, the most important thing isn’t relics or technology, but people!"
"Only people can reignite glory!"
He Yino shuddered, then nodded with a mixture of understanding and confusion.
With her perspective, it was hard to grasp Xue An’s vision.
At this moment, Xue An continued, "Do you know why I spared you then?"
He Yino was taken aback, her heart tightening, and she forced a smile, "Wasn’t it due to cooperation?"
Xue An shook his head with a smile, then turned to look deeply at He Yino, "Do you think if I wanted to know certain things, there’d be anything I couldn’t find out?"
He Yino wanted to retort, but suddenly realized she had no words.
Xue An turned his gaze back to the distant horizon and said flatly.
"I wanted to leave a ’Fire Seed’ for your Tower of Truth, which is why I didn’t kill you! Of course, that was also because your hands were fairly clean! Otherwise... no one could have helped you!"
