Chapter 1105

At this moment, these people could not guess any other situation; this was the only answer they could think of.

Zhang Lin gave a helpless smile upon hearing this, then immediately said: "Why are your thoughts all so extreme? Can't you think about it from a positive perspective?"

Hearing this, everyone felt a wave of shame. It was truly because Zhang Lin had hit the nail on the head; their thoughts had veered directly toward the other extreme.

It wasn't that these people didn't know how to think positively; it was entirely because, in many matters, they had already been terrified by everything they had experienced previously in the Ancient City of Jingjue.

Therefore, once someone displayed a personality different from usual, everyone would think in terms of them being controlled, or else, like Young Master Zhao before.

Because the pressure was too great, they had simply gone insane.

Soon, Zhang Lin waved his hand and said: "You don't need to connect this matter with those previous ones. This matter itself is a kind of magnanimity from Wang Kaixuan, because they will very likely still be acting together afterward."

Zhang Lin's praise for Wang Kaixuan didn't mean much to them, but what did this "acting together afterward" mean?

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

In their view, after this time, Young Master Zhao certainly wouldn't be following the Second Archaeological Team anymore. It wouldn't sound good to say it out loud, but it was indeed the case.

Even without mentioning the trouble Young Master Zhao caused on the way to the Ancient City of Jingjue, at the very least, it was now a state of merits offsetting faults.

Not to mention Young Master Zhao's status as a well-connected individual, the key point was that he was truly unsuitable for tomb raiding.

While the original Young Master Zhao didn't need to be discussed—no one dared to entrust their back to him—even though the current Young Master Zhao's personality had changed and he was no longer that attention-seeking, selfish person,

when it came down to it, Young Master Zhao's skills were mediocre, and there was truly nothing worthy of praise. Such a person was fine if left outside; he was just a rich second-generation heir.

And a very ordinary rich second-generation heir at that!

But if placed inside a tomb, in a dangerous place like the Ancient City of Jingjue, he didn't have much use.

Even though he had redeemed a lot of face with his actual actions this time, this still couldn't make everyone put him on the same level as people like Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi, let alone Yang Lu.

Under this premise, no one thought Young Master Zhao was beneficial for the subsequent journey. They believed the best choice for Young Master Zhao was to live and get out of the Ancient City of Jingjue, then honestly be his rich second-generation heir and no longer participate in these matters.

That would be the best thing for him; otherwise, he would only add unnecessary trouble for others.

If he were just seeking his own death, that would be one thing, but if he affected the survival space of others, then that would be his fault.

Under the consideration of these comprehensive factors, no one thought Young Master Zhao would continue on with the Second Archaeological Team.

At this time, without the others needing to raise such a question, Zhang Lin, through their eyes and the previous situations, actually saw a clue.

Immediately, Zhang Lin gave a helpless smile and said: "I know what you are thinking—that you believe this Young Master Zhao is of no help for the road ahead and that he cannot continue."

"But what I want to say is that if he wants to break the curse, he must follow along. I am talking about that possibility. Have you thought about it? If the Phoenix-Dan Bead is not found here, then they must move forward together."

"It is very likely that the location where the Phoenix-Dan Bead is found is the place where it must be used."

At this moment, someone suddenly raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, we understand what you mean, but what if the Phoenix-Dan Bead is found? If this Young Master Zhao is allowed to keep following, all his actions will be uncontrollable. What if he goes crazy again or that previous personality reappears, causing the entire mission to fail?"

Zhang Lin waved his hand and said: "This matter is for the Second Archaeological Team to consider. Even if the Phoenix-Dan Bead is found, I have said before that the Ancient City of Jingjue is not the place to use it; they need to find the correct location."

"Under this premise, Young Master Zhao must be brought along, because since he was one-third of the reason that coffin was opened, he will certainly be cursed."

"In the situation where he will be cursed, to break the curse, he must follow the Second Archaeological Team forward, searching for the tombs below, and continue to search according to the clues of the Phoenix-Dan Bead."

Right now, Yang Lu's mission has become everyone's mission. These things were not done by Zhang Lin on purpose; it can only be said that it is entirely a coincidence!
