Chapter 1479

~6 min read 1,044 words

Wang Kaixuan had always had this temper, and now he had returned to normal.

And after the brief silence Wang Kaixuan went through when Xu Lang died, his emotions had now adjusted quite well.

Wang Kaixuan had always judged matters on their own merits, and everyone was the same, so the anger that led to this was not a problem at all. Feeling that he had been despised, Wang Kaixuan would naturally get angry.

Young Master Zhao nudged him with his shoulder from the side and said, "Old Wang, you should change this temper of yours."

Wang Kaixuan spat at Young Master Zhao but didn't say anything.

At the moment, his temper was indeed getting bigger and bigger. Perhaps if anyone else were cursed like this, they would infinitely magnify their little temper.

Wang Kaixuan wouldn't be an exception, but his subjective emotional initiative was much weaker than others; he couldn't stay calm all the time.

And the more it was at this time, the more he needed a chain. At the moment, his chain was naturally Hu Bayi.

Among many situations, Hu Bayi could control Wang Kaixuan's current temper well, which was why Yang Lu had always urged Hu Bayi to keep an eye on Wang Kaixuan.

If he made any wrong judgments or did wrong things, it would likely directly affect the subsequent overall plan; this was Yang Lu's current thought.

Seeing Wang Kaixuan like this, Yang Lu shook her head without saying anything, then continued, "I know you don't believe us now, but sometimes even if you don't believe, you have to choose to believe."

Yang Lu then took out her phone to show the other party the official live-stream replay. The places they came from were very remote; the other party didn't even have electronic equipment, let alone watch live streams.

After seeing everything Yang Lu had done in the Ancient City of Jingjue, Ada's eyes widened, and he said, "I heard there's something called a movie outside. Someone came to our village to show it decades ago. Are you filming a movie?"

Ada naturally held such an idea. Yang Lu smiled helplessly and said, "We are not filming a movie; we are an archaeological team. The reason we were cursed this time is because we opened the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue in the Ancient City of Jingjue. Following the guidance along the way, we finally arrived at Mount Zhelong, wanting to enter the Tomb of King Xian to find the Muchen Bead. That is the final answer to breaking this curse."

After saying this, Yang Lu didn't let Ada continue watching and forcibly took back the phone.

She told Ada this just to be safe, and she wasn't obsessed with letting Ada follow her. Sometimes it was just about giving the other party a chance, just like Ma Dada before.

Of course, Ada wasn't a tomb raider like Ma Dada; he was just an ordinary villager, a herb gatherer, a hunter. Such a person was more worth saving.

But if he insisted on not believing Yang Lu, Yang Lu didn't need to waste this time. Zhang Lin had already told them before that they didn't need a guide.

As long as they followed Zhang Lin's instructions, they would be fine. But now, if Ada followed them, it would be icing on the cake.

After all, before Zhang Lin told his story at night, they would have already entered the mountains during this time. If they encountered any crisis while passing through the waterway, Ada would definitely be more experienced than them.

Under this premise, they could move forward more smoothly. Another point was considering the group of people following them. If they found Ada to be their guide, it would also be a trouble for the Second Archaeological Team.

Now that they needed to fight for speed, Yang Lu had to fight for this speed as much as possible before Zhang Lin was at the Crescent Hotel.

Based on this, it was not strange at all that Yang Lu had this choice.

And looking at Ada, he was suddenly stunned. Seeing Yang Lu get up and walk out directly, the other four didn't say anything.

Yang Lu seemed to be playing hard to get, but in fact, she had already said everything that could be said. The final opportunity was given to Ada. If he didn't chase after them,

there would be no chance to chase after them once Yang Lu and the others reached Mount Zhelong.

Yang Lu and her group hadn't failed to obtain any information; at least Kong Que had just told them that they just needed to follow the waterway.

They could completely make a raft at the foot of Mount Zhelong and then enter Mount Zhelong directly along the waterway. As long as they followed this waterway, they could find the entrance Kong Que mentioned, and then they could enter the hinterlands of Mount Zhelong to search for the Insect Valley.

Since they knew this, Yang Lu naturally wouldn't waste time here anymore.

If Ada went with them, no problem; if not, then so be it.

Ada didn't chase after them, but Kong Que did. When they reached the village entrance, Kong Que grabbed Yang Lu's arm and said, "Sister, do you really have a way to break the curse?"

Yang Lu smiled slightly and nodded.

She couldn't be cruel to Kong Que. In fact, choosing to help Ada or letting Ada join the Second Archaeological Team as a temporary guide was also because Yang Lu was looking at Kong Que's face.

At least this girl's smile was truly too healing.

Even Yang Lu, who had lived for so many years, had never seen such a healing smile. If they hadn't experienced these messy things, that would be one thing.

After experiencing all the ostracism from the villagers, after experiencing all the disdain from everyone, and after experiencing all of this, Kong Que could still maintain this healing smile on her face.

This was absolutely very rare.

Yang Lu despised those who sang the praises of suffering. She didn't know if it was because she was influenced by Zhang Lin, but some people were always constantly singing the praises of suffering!
