Chapter 2689: Since the Intent Isn't Clear! Then Set Off on Your Own!

So fundamentally speaking, the Second Archaeology Team still has to obey this team leader.

Wang Kaixuan had no objection to this point, but reality is reality—they have to follow certain unspoken rules. If they blindly break these already-formed unspoken rules, would it truly benefit what they need to do afterward? That was the primary reason this question arose in Wang Kaixuan's heart.

Having thought this through, Wang Kaixuan mustered his courage and said, "Team Leader Yang, isn't setting off right now going against Mr. Zhang's orders?"

Yang Lusi smiled and shook her head, then said, "Then can you interpret for me the specifics of Mr. Zhang's orders?"

Hearing these words, not only Wang Kaixuan but everyone else was stunned. How could they possibly know about this? Just like before, whenever Zhang Lin had any corresponding order, the first person to pass it to the archaeology team and explain it would absolutely be Yang Lusi.

Only Yang Lusi could give them the corresponding answer; others simply didn't have that ability. After all, the First Archaeology Team didn't have a Wu Ya among them. Some people were also mulling it over in their hearts—

If Zhang Lin's assistant, that is Wu Ya, could come to the Second Archaeology Team, would their path afterward become much smoother, and would they no longer have to worry about all those messy situations?

But the idea was nice. Ultimately, Zhang Lin wouldn't make that kind of choice, even if he couldn't see that Yang Lusi's emotions had become slightly unusual because of Wu Ya's appearance.

But relying on his intuition, he still wouldn't make that foolish choice. When those two women came together, Zhang Lin had some vague premonition that nothing good would come of it.

Since that was the case, how could he bring unnecessary trouble upon himself? One must know that once this matter truly turned out the way Zhang Lin imagined, all the trouble would have to be handled by Zhang Lin alone—he couldn't push it away even if he wanted to. Based on Zhang Lin's most basic judgment of things over the years, he wouldn't let himself fall into that situation. This was indisputable.

Looking at Yang Lusi at this moment, she still maintained that smiling appearance. Seeing that no one was willing to say more, she also didn't know how to respond to her own words.

Yang Lusi continued on her own, "Now you should understand why I want to set off. Actually, the answer is plain as day. The First Archaeology Team's choice is vastly different from ours. Even if we have to maintain an equal pace, we can still scout the way ahead. There's no need to just sit and wait."

"If we really did that, it would only make us increasingly passive, wouldn't it? So we'll set off very soon. Consider it giving ourselves an explanation, and also not adding so much more trouble for Mr. Zhang. At the New Moon Restaurant, Mr. Zhang has already been exhausted enough commanding us."

"Just think—if today at the New Moon Restaurant, Mr. Zhang really planned to divide his attention and command two archaeology teams at once, then if we just stayed put, wouldn't that be terribly inconsiderate of us?"

After hearing this explanation, the corners of everyone's mouth took on that bitter-smiling look. Actually, anyone saying this would have a basis, but Yang Lusi saying it came across as overly self-deprecating. Now, unless one was a fool, anyone watching the livestream could tell Zhang Lin was deliberately looking out for Yang Lusi.

Under this premise, everyone could have psychological burdens, but Yang Lusi's was the lightest, because the relationship between the two seemed inexplicably strange.

There was even a sudden sense of ambiguity. Based on this ambiguity, everyone had long since formed their own inner guesses about this relationship.

But once these guesses were brought into the open, no one could say what might happen later. However, Zhang Lin himself was doing his best to avoid this point, which meant that just when others were about to gossip, all of this died down along with it.

Although developing to this state was already controlled quite well, Zhang Lin felt this still wasn't the result he wanted. But the die was cast, and he didn't want to deliberately emphasize this matter anymore.

Zhang Lin understood very well that if he deliberately kept emphasizing it, it would only make things worse. That might even play right into someone's hands, letting certain people use this matter of his to find amusement. No matter how foolish Zhang Lin was, he wouldn't make that kind of choice.

But now that Yang Lusi had said this, the others found it hard to object. They instinctively all nodded. Wang Kaixuan scratched his head—he actually still wanted to ask questions, but was held back by Hu Bayi.

As far as Hu Bayi was concerned, he already understood Yang Lusi's meaning very clearly. Under this premise, there was no point in objecting further. Secondly, it might even incur Yang Lusi's displeasure—that would be a true case of losing more than gaining. They definitely wouldn't make that choice.

And Wang Kaixuan also listened to Hu Bayi very well. He just gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and didn't say anything more. Actually, Yang Lusi had already noticed everyone's micro-expressions. She was absolutely at ease with Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi, and the others. Even though Wang Kaixuan's expression indicated some issues, Yang Lusi also saw that he wanted to keep asking questions.

But Yang Lusi didn't care about any of this. After all, Wang Kaixuan was absolutely one of her own people, and he was also cursed. Based on this, he wouldn't cause any trouble.

The reason he made suggestions was just an instinctive lack of confidence in the matter. And when he saw that Yang Lusi wouldn't accept any of his ideas, he naturally quieted down.

But what Yang Lusi was paying special attention to were a few other people, such as Ake, Bide, and Su Nan. Yang Lusi had to watch for the most fundamental changes in their expressions, because once there was a deviation, or the pace changed accordingly, these people would absolutely have problems at the first moment.

Even if not all of them, a few among them would definitely show corresponding reactions. Yang Lusi was quite certain of this. Since she could anticipate this situation, Yang Lusi naturally didn't hesitate to spend some of her own time watching their movements. However, this time she didn't notice anything unusual in their expressions.

Ake was still silently rolling his prayer beads, as if everything Yang Lusi said had absolutely nothing to do with him in essence.

Faced with this silent state, Yang Lusi was actually more worried. She feared Ake was deliberately putting on an act for her, while actually plotting other things in his heart.

The reason she thought this way was that she could previously tell Ake recognized this place and had a certain understanding of the Kunlun Divine Palace as a whole.
