Chapter 2693: Ark Equals Wu Ya? Don't Kid Me!

If he truly didn't know, he could of course choose to stay silent, but at this point such words couldn't fool anyone at all—anyone who wasn't a fool could see that Ark's analysis of what was to come was already extremely clear.

In that case, he ought to give a relatively standard answer, so that everyone could have some peace of mind; this wasn't moral coercion, it was what had been agreed upon from the very start.

If Ark couldn't create such value, then Archaeology Team Two would absolutely not bring him along—but then again, since this matter had been proposed by Zhang Lin, it proved that Ark absolutely had his necessary value; this was indisputable, and from the very beginning Yang Lu's understanding of this matter had been extremely clear.

Moreover, this was the only arrangement Zhang Lin had made before Archaeology Team Two came; since such a thing existed, there must be its reason, and Yang Lu didn't think Zhang Lin would shoot without a target.

She didn't even believe Zhang Lin's judgment would be off by the slightest margin, even though at present Zhang Lin hadn't yet explained to them where the key nodes of these foreshadowing lay, nor the reason for the necessity of these matters' existence.

Yet Yang Lu simply chose to believe—perhaps this was the necessary trust between fellow disciples; if it were anyone else, they probably couldn't have gained such great trust from Yang Lu, but Zhang Lin alone had managed it.

This might also be the main reason Zhang Lin was constantly compromising with Yang Lu's wilfulness; likewise, if it were someone else on Archaeology Team Two, responding to what was to come in such a wilful state, and desperately trying to prove themselves, especially in front of Zhang Lin, then Zhang Lin wouldn't be pleased by it, but would instead feel disgusted.

But since this person was Yang Lu, Zhang Lin could at most be left between tears and laughter, then go along with the other's rhythm, or on some baseline make the other understand that doing so was wrong—but if these things were harmless, then Zhang Lin wouldn't say much more.

Or he was too lazy to speak, or purely spoiling the other party, letting Yang Lu understand that as long as he was there, everything could be handled; at least in the current situation, everyone leaned more toward the latter.

It's just that even though they had seen through it, they couldn't say much more; the lead in all of this still rested with Zhang Lin, and as long as Zhang Lin didn't speak up, they could at most remain silent in a posture of watching the show.

Looking back at Ark at this moment, when everyone's eyes were fixed intently on him, Ark actually slowly closed his eyes, then shook his head repeatedly.

He then said: "Actually you shouldn't be asking me. Since in that distant place you mentioned there's a Mr. Zhang inside the New Moon Restaurant, and he can give you all the guidance, I believe he knows far more than I do—so why are you still asking me?"

Hearing this, Wang Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but purse his lips, and said instinctively: "Of course Mr. Zhang knows more than you, and what right do you have to compare yourself with Mr. Zhang!"

After hearing these words, Ark had no intention of getting angry at all; along the way, he had also subtly come to understand what kind of person Zhang Lin was, and through this understanding, Ark was already fully certain that what followed would definitely be inseparable from Zhang Lin's instructions.

On this premise, Ark chose to accept it calmly, and he also firmly believed that Zhang Lin would absolutely not set a trap for Archaeology Team Two and himself—the relationship between the two was inherently mutual; if Zhang Lin were to dig a pit for Archaeology Team Two, then he himself wouldn't be spared either.

But relatively speaking, if Zhang Lin were to dig a pit for him alone without involving Archaeology Team Two, he believed that even if Zhang Lin had such ability, he wouldn't adopt this method, because it would be entirely walking a tightrope; after all, from the way the other party spoke, Ark also felt that what followed wouldn't be particularly peaceful.

In that case, they should choose to deal with what was to come in a relatively moderate way, rather than pressing aggressively; but what he had never expected was that, although he had thought it through nicely, the aggressive pressing had landed on his own head so quickly.

Ark wanted to explain, but at the same time he didn't want to overstep his role; in fact, what Ark had been thinking afterward was to play the role of Wu Ya from Archaeology Team One; although he wasn't Zhang Lin's assistant, since it was Zhang Lin's arrangement to find him before this, it meant the other party already knew everything.

At the most critical moment his Destiny Long Poem might be needed, but at this moment which wasn't critical, Ark felt that choosing silence would be enough.

Just as Ark was torn, Xue Long's phone rang on this side; he took out his phone and it was exactly a message sent by Zhang Lin. Xue Long's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly leaned over to Yang Lu to show her the message.

Zhang Lin's judgment wasn't wrong—as long as Xue Long received the message, the first thing he would absolutely do was find Yang Lu and seek her opinion.

Most importantly, what to do next still required following Yang Lu's command; others simply had no way about it—all of this, all of these matters, had to be decided by Yang Lu.

And after Yang Lu saw the message, her brow immediately furrowed; the content on the message was very simple.

"That person is coming soon. Be careful about everything!"

It was just such a simple sentence that made Yang Lu change her current thinking, and then Yang Lu shook her head.

She then said in a clear voice: "The plan I just mentioned is hereby cancelled; we'll stay where we are and rest. We'll wait until tonight when Mr. Zhang goes to the New Moon Restaurant and gives us the corresponding instructions, and then we'll respond accordingly."

This was the new order Yang Lu had issued, and the instant this order went out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They felt Yang Lu had now made the wisest decision; if not for this, it was very likely that everyone would have been wiped out together, and that was not the outcome they wanted to see.

But now they could choose to quietly wait for everything; as long as Zhang Lin went up to the New Moon Restaurant and gave them instructions in a synchronized manner, they could naturally rest easy.

Looking at the reaction of most people, Yang Lu couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed; at this point someone should have raised corresponding doubts to her, asking why she had suddenly changed her decision, just as when Yang Lu had made that decision at first, they hadn't understood it.

At this time they should also have raised that instinctive doubt, but what ultimately disappointed Yang Lu was precisely that this doubt didn't exist, as if they took all of this for granted as something that should naturally happen.

This was what Yang Lu was most likely to accept, but right now they were discussing the matter of Ark, and she hoped Ark could give an answer.
