Don't Ask; If You Do, I'll Just Smile and Say Nothing

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that Lu Changzhi had no further comment, Mu Fan shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

I had previously thought that once we reached the core of the Emperor's Tomb, we might be able to obtain some crucial information or clues.

But even after all this time, there's still nothing.

In other words, we still need to consider where to dig.

"How?"

Lu Changzhi looked at him and asked aloud.

Mu Fan composed himself, took a deep breath, and smiled:

"Master, I feel this is a bit too hasty."

Lu Changzhi did not express his opinion, but only said:

Share your thoughts.

Mu Fan nodded and waved to his surroundings:

"This is an imperial tomb, extremely valuable to us, and even to the Misty Clear Realm and the Mystic Yang Realm."

"This precious resource deserves special attention and special handling. In my opinion, we should now carry forward the spirit of our Five Symbols Sect and treat this imperial tomb with utmost care."

"The spirit of the Five Symbols Sect?"

Zhong Ming looked over, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Right!"

Mu Fan waved his hand and said:

"Autumn winds sweep away fallen leaves, shovels move barren ground!"

Land?

Zhong Ming was taken aback.

Mu Fan's expression shifted, and he nodded decisively:

"That's right."

"Junior Brother Zhong, think about it. This is an imperial tomb. Maybe someone has been here before. There might be something buried beneath the surface, like your favorite dead body, right?"

Zhong Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:

"Really? Senior Brother Mu?"

Mu Fan smiled slightly:

"Guess why my master would accept me as a disciple, someone who doesn't like cultivation?"

Zhong Ming looked at Lu Changzhi.

The others also turned their gazes towards them.

Lu Changzhi knew perfectly well that Mu Fan was clearly paving the way for his own actions.

At that moment, he remained silent, only revealing a profound and unfathomable smile.

"If that's the case, then I'll get started."

As he spoke, Zhong Ming raised his hand and took out a shovel.

"This is something we're good at."

"Senior Brother Mu, Heavenly Secret, show some more skin?"

A relieved smile appeared on Mu Fan's face. He pointed and said:

"It's roughly in that direction."

"Good!"

As soon as the word fell, Zhong Ming was about to set off.

At this moment, Xiao Ye asked:

"Junior Brother Zhong, aren't you going to look at this anymore?"

Zhong Ming shook his head upon hearing this:

"Interest is more important."

From the item information, he could basically determine that this was a body-refining cultivator, but he had no interest in body-refining.

However, the method of refining one's own corpse into a weapon is of some value to him.

But since Master has come, he can definitely take it back, so there's no need to rush.

In contrast, it would be even better if we could find a surprise.

Seeing Zhong Ming leave, Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan and transmitted his voice:

"Trying to fool my junior brother is a bit too much."

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan's face flashed with suppressed laughter as he replied:

"Master, you shouldn't say that."

"I'm not just saying this casually; if I dare to say it, there must be something to it."

After saying that, Mu Fan looked at Lu Changzhi with a serious expression.

Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan but didn't say anything.

Whether there's anything of substance or not, who knows? Even Mu Fan himself found the tasks assigned by the system to be pretentious and empty.

Right?

Mu Fan asked another question.

Lu Changzhi smiled and gave a perfunctory reply:

You're right.

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan's expression immediately changed, and he thought to himself:

"All done!"

There's definitely a reason why the system sends out such tasks!

Immediately, he pressed for an answer:

"How about you reveal some heavenly secrets, Master?"

If Master says there is something, then there really is something; there is no doubt about that.

However, given the sheer size of this imperial tomb, its exact location is difficult to ascertain.

Therefore, we must cling to our master's powerful backer if we can.

"Eh."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:

"Wouldn't that be boring?"

Upon hearing this, the light in Mu Fan's eyes dimmed slightly, but quickly brightened again, and he nodded, saying:

"Master is right!"

So what if there's no specific location?

Even Master is certain there's something here.

That makes things simple.

Try to find!

If you can't find it in one place, then try looking in another.

We searched everywhere but couldn't find it; we turned the place upside down searching.

How can things be turned upside down?

Artillery fire!

Those firecrackers we stockpiled in the past, if they can't deal with enemies of this level now, can they at least not shake the ground?

It's a good opportunity to clear out my inventory.

With this thought in mind, Mu Fan felt much more relaxed.

"Junior Brother Xiao?"

Mu Fan turned his head and looked at Xiao Ye.

"Does Senior Brother Mu have any plans?" Xiao Ye asked immediately.

Given the situation just now, the Senior Brother Mu is shrouded in mystery at this moment.

He cultivates magical arts, while Xu Tiancheng clearly cultivates the physical body, making him a better fit for Senior Brother Gu.

Now that we're already here, if we get no tasks and no rewards...

Just then, Mu Fan handed over a small bag:

"You're fast with your hands, and I'm fast with my hands. Now, when we get out, I'll grab you, and you scatter these little firecrackers everywhere, the denser the better."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye was taken aback and looked at Mu Fan:

"Senior Brother Mu, what does this mean?"

Mu Fan smiled slightly:

You'll understand when you get back.

Xiao Ye nodded, about to speak, when suddenly his expression changed.

The system has actually issued a task!

Furthermore, the difficulty level isn't particularly high.

Spreading rain and dew evenly.

At this moment, Xiao Ye had only one feeling.

This trip was definitely worthwhile!

At that moment, Xiao Ye grabbed the small bag and said to Mu Fan:

"Okay, senior brother."

"Time is limited, let's get moving!"

"Good."

A satisfied smile appeared on Mu Fan's face. He grabbed Xiao Ye and said:

"Take off!"

The next moment, the two figures had vanished from the spot, accompanied by a gradually fading sound:

"Senior Brother Mu, I can ride a dragon too, so it doesn't seem like I need to trouble you like this."

"Don't mention it, let me show you around. Come on, let's get started, don't hold back, go all out!"

"..."

In the blink of an eye.

As soon as they entered, only three people remained in the vast space.

This situation prompted Qin Li to glance at Lu Changzhi and ask:

"Master, the things here must be quite extraordinary, right?"

After all, Master personally accompanied us on this trip, and Master had just made some remarks, though he didn't say it directly.

However, as soon as she asked the question, Qin Li realized the problem.

After all, there had been too many times in the past when what was extraordinary to them seemed to be nothing more than ordinary to their master.

Seeing that Lu Changzhi did not answer, but instead gestured for her to go forward and take a look, Qin Li became even more certain of her thoughts.

What's here might not mean much to their master, but it must be of great significance to them.

However, what exactly it could be remains to be seen until they find the item.

"It seems the most valuable thing in this imperial tomb isn't here."

Looking at Xu Tiancheng's body, Gu Chen thought to himself.

Compared to the others who each had their own thoughts, Lu Changzhi had only one feeling at this moment.

Playing along isn't difficult; a silent smile is incredibly useful.

Don't ask; just smile and remain silent.

Whether or not they can find anything is beyond his control.
