Chapter 2488

Yang Lu didn't continue to elaborate, and her words were told to Shen Qiong alone, trusting that Shen Qiong could understand her subtext.

Right now the situation on Su Nan's side still needed to be guarded against, and Yang Lu had never privately asked Shen Qiong what kind of person Su Nan really was; perhaps Yang Lu had already given herself an answer in her heart, and was certain that answer was correct.

Besides, as long as she chose to trust Zhang Lin, then none of these questions were problems at all — this was the thought Yang Lu had to hold onto now.

If she chose to completely distrust Zhang Lin because of those previous matters, then even Yang Lu herself would feel it couldn't be justified.

To put it harshly, that would be like a dog biting Lü Dongbin.

If it were only about personal feelings, and Yang Lu handled all the problems with her emotions, then even if she said nothing here, whether it was the officials, the livestream, or even outsiders seeing all this, they would probably stand on the moral high ground at the first moment to condemn her.

After a brief breakdown, Yang Lu adjusted her state because she had to absolutely trust her senior brother, and another reason was knowing that now she wasn't living just for herself, but also for the other members of Archaeology Team Two.

After all, if it weren't for her leading so many people into the Ancient City of Jingjue to seek the answer to breaking the curse, the members of Archaeology Team Two wouldn't all be bearing the curse on their bodies at the same time.

Yang Lu was certain this was her own mistake alone; since it was a mistake, she had to find a way to make up for it.

Not to blindly escape and fall apart — that would have no effect whatsoever on solving the problem.

Seeing the two walk out from the darkness, everyone hurriedly rose, and after seeing everyone's reaction, Yang Lu couldn't help but smile helplessly.

She asked directly: "What's wrong with you all? Why so tense!"

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head, and at this moment he couldn't help but look at Hu Bayi.

Not knowing whether he should bring up those questions, and Hu Bayi also awkwardly coughed once, thinking to himself where had that tiger-like boldness of Wang Kaixuan gone?

Right now was exactly when he needed to exercise his ability in this area; if Wang Kaixuan could ask those questions without any scruples, it was possible Yang Lu really could give them an answer.

And at this moment only Yang Lu and Xue Long knew what had happened; in fact, what Xue Long knew was far more than Yang Lu.

But Xue Long also understood why Zhang Lin had always wanted to keep it from Yang Lu; earlier on the phone Zhang Lin had already expressed his intention — it was simply not wanting Yang Lu to get involved in too many of those past secrets.

These things themselves wouldn't matter much if Yang Lu knew them; the key was that the more one knew, the more dangerous it might be. The main thing to guard against later wasn't a Wang Canghai, but the Wan Nu King.

It was just that Xue Long still wasn't clear about the matters concerning the Wan Nu King, and the preparations Zhang Lin needed to make came entirely from the Wan Nu King's side.

If it were only because of a Wang Canghai, then there wouldn't be the slightest problem with Zhang Lin telling Yang Lu these things directly right now; perhaps even Wang Canghai couldn't judge Zhang Lin's approach, having already thought so far ahead.

Even now Wang Canghai couldn't be sure whether, at this point in time, if Archaeology Team One really charged into Tiangong, it would truly be able to awaken the Wan Nu King.

But Zhang Lin had already begun making preparations; of course, if Wang Canghai confirmed this point, then perhaps he would have other speculations, thinking whether Zhang Lin really wanted to use this method to awaken the Wan Nu King, thereby finding himself an opponent. Wang Canghai had more than once firmly convinced himself in his own mind that Zhang Lin was a madman.

He would make corresponding sacrifices for the two archaeology teams — that was correct; but at the same time, if it really came to that point in time, Zhang Lin would also unhesitatingly let the two archaeology teams make sacrifices for him. This was a madman's choice; perhaps from Wang Canghai's perspective, Zhang Lin himself hadn't even realized this.

But regarding this matter, Wang Canghai had definitely misjudged; if Zhang Lin had already gone mad to that extent, then the earlier events basically wouldn't have developed in that way. Zhang Lin had a completely different choice that was more beneficial to himself.
