TRSFTATTYA Chapter 43

The guest house provided considerate service to the archaeology team. After checking in, they even arranged a private room for Su Ze and his four companions to dine in.

Having a private room made it much more comfortable, and it was much easier to talk.

“Su Ze, what exactly is going on?”

While eating, Su Ze calmly replied, “Xie Lianhuan resurrected the archaeology team.”

“Huh?”

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling both looked blank.

Su Ze continued, “Saying ‘resurrected’ might not be accurate. It should be that Xie Lianhuan replaced this archaeology team.”

“What?”

Su Ze nodded, “That’s pretty much it.”

“But…”

Chen Wenjin asked with a puzzled expression, “Why would Xie Lianhuan do this?”

Su Ze shook his head. Speaking empty words was something Su Ze didn’t want to do with them, and it would be difficult to explain clearly in a short time, because there were too many things involved.

The mysterious Zhang family, the secret of longevity, the Queen Mother of the West, King Zhou Mu, Tie Mian Sheng, Wang Zanghai, Zhang Da Foye, and “it,” along with the Old Nine Gates who were resisting… there were too many things, and even Su Ze himself hadn’t been able to figure out his True Dragon bloodline.

“I don’t know.” After a moment of silence, Chen Wenjin finally spoke.

However, Chen Wenjin added, “I only know that it’s an extremely important person, with a status so high that we’re not even qualified to know.”

Su Ze had a vague answer in his mind. He continued to ask, “Then who tasked you with transporting the coffin under the guise of archaeology?”

Chen Wenjin was silent for a while again before replying, “It was a mission given by the higher-ups.”

Su Ze didn’t know how much Chen Wenjin actually knew, or if she was deliberately concealing things from him, but he knew that Chen Wenjin wouldn’t say anything more if he continued to ask.

Seemingly to change the subject, Chen Wenjin asked, “Su Ze, you did it on purpose last night, didn’t you?”

“What?” Su Ze asked, feigning ignorance.

Chen Wenjin continued, “Last night, when I took out the corpse worm pill, it wasn’t really for you to see, was it?”

Huo Ling also said, “Yeah, you were acting a bit strange last night.”

Men were indeed poor observers, especially of the subtle things that mattered to the women they cared about.

Su Ze sighed inwardly and nodded, “I was showing it to Pan Ma Laodie.”

“Pan Ma Laodie was eavesdropping on your conversation?”

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling both frowned. Huo Ling said, “Why would he do that?”

Su Ze glanced at the two women and slowly said, “Pan Ma Laodie is actually the one who killed the original archaeology team.”

“What?”

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were shocked.

Su Ze also imitated Pan Ma Laodie and casually fabricated a reason.

Clearly, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling believed him. Only Zhang Qiling, who had been listening quietly, knew that things weren’t that simple.

“Then what was the point of me doing that last night?” Chen Wenjin asked.

Su Ze said, “Pan Ma Laodie is a greedy person. He heard that we were doing well in the Zhang Family Ancient Building and that there was a longevity elixir. He will definitely enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building.”

“Then, he will die in there, which can be considered a well-deserved punishment!”

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling didn’t know why Su Ze was so certain, and even Zhang Qiling didn’t know.

In fact, this was Su Ze’s calculation.

He knew that Pan Ma Laodie, as a member of the Zhang family, although he didn’t know what his purpose was, would definitely enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building after seeing the corpse worm pill that Su Ze had taken out last night.

Moreover, Su Ze deliberately said that the corpse worm pill was found in the heavenly palace of the ancient building, which was also to lure Pan Ma Laodie into the heavenly palace.

Because the later Pan Ma Laodie died in the underground palace.

In any case, Pan Ma Laodie was very likely to never leave the Zhang Family Ancient Building.

Therefore, after leaving Banai, Su Ze set up a trap for Pan Ma Laodie to fall into. Everyone had to pay the price for what they had done.

With the doubts in their minds basically cleared up, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling finally felt at ease and began to eat.

At this moment, Su Ze spoke, “Don’t book a ticket for me.”

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were surprised. Huo Ling asked, “Why? Aren’t you going back to Yanjing with us?”

Su Ze nodded.

Huo Ling pressed, “Then where are you going?”

Su Ze replied, “I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you when I figure it out.”

However, at this time, Su Ze didn’t want to expose himself to Huo Xian Gu and those people. The older generation of the Old Nine Gates were all cunning foxes, and it might create unnecessary complications.

However, sooner or later, Su Ze would inevitably come into contact with them, but not now.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling also said at this time, “Don’t book a ticket for me either.”

Su Ze and Zhang Qiling nodded in agreement…

…

The four stayed at the guest house in Shangsi County for one night. The next day, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling boarded the train and returned to the capital.

Before getting on the train, Huo Ling looked reluctant. Taking advantage of Su Ze’s inattention, she gave him a quick hug and ran onto the train, causing a hint of indescribable emotion to flash in Chen Wenjin’s eyes…

Su Ze ultimately chose to go to a place not far from Bagui, Southern Yue…
