Chapter 1567: Mountain Cave

Lingdang looked at Chen Ang with a pitiful expression; he did not want to take risks and stake his own life.

In fact, Chen Ang also knew that he was timid and weak.

Even if he could protect him well, he was still filled with worry.

Under such circumstances, there was truly no need for him to bring him along.

"Fine, I'll just go by myself, you..."

Before Chen Ang could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhao Gao.

"No, if you are going, you must go together; if you aren't going, then leave together!"

These words left Lingdang instantly wanting to cry but having no tears; even if he didn't want to go, it was now an impossible matter.

Besides, it was the Lady Boss who had sent him here, and his task was to accompany Chen Ang.

If he were to shrink back and leave now, he would have no way to answer to the Lady Boss.

It was precisely because of this that he hesitated.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to accept it.

"Forget it, I'll just go with you."

Seeing his reluctant appearance, Chen Ang said with a smile.

"Rest assured, I will protect you well; nothing will happen."

Just as he was saying these words with conviction, Zhao Gao poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Things are not as simple as you think, and it is also very dangerous."

He did not state the specific situation, only offering a reminder.

"You can head out in a while; just let the attendant take you out."

"Once you arrive at the location, you will enter the mountain cave."

Hearing this, Chen Ang felt a bit strange; why would they need to enter a mountain cave for no good reason?

However, he did not ask, only nodding silently.

When the time was about right, Zhao Gao went to rest first.

The attendant, carrying a paper lantern, came to Chen Ang and Lingdang's side.

"The time has come, let me take you over."

Just like that, they came out of the thatched cottage and walked toward the mountain cave.

During the process of walking over there, Lingdang voiced the confusion in his heart.

"Do you feel a bit strange? This Zhao Gao is so powerful, yet he lives here; it is clearly a bit abnormal. I even suspect whether there is some problem in this! Otherwise, there is truly no way to explain it!"

It was not just Lingdang who thought this; Chen Ang's heart also felt a bit strange, unable to understand this point.

Logically speaking, Zhao Gao was not young, and with his skills and abilities, he could completely live a better life.

Yet he lived alone in this kind of place, with only paper figures for company, which made people feel a bit strange, not understanding why he would do this.

Chen Ang did not know the specific reason, so he cast his gaze toward the attendant leading the way in front.

"Do you know why your master chose to stay here?"

Facing the inquiry, the attendant shook his head, not knowing about this matter.

Seeing this, Chen Ang did not ask further.

Soon, under the attendant's guidance, they arrived at a mountain cave.

The attendant did not go in, but instead looked at Chen Ang and Lingdang.

"This is it, you can go in now."

Saying this, he turned around and left directly, with no intention of staying at all.

They stood at the cave entrance but were in no rush to enter.

Lingdang peered inside; it was pitch black.

Seeing this scene, Lingdang was a bit worried.

"Are we really going in? I feel like there might be some danger inside; otherwise, we should be a bit careful!" ===== CHAPTER 1568 =====
