Chapter 488

~4 min read 730 words

So now he was paying extra attention to Zhang Lin's storytelling content!

When he heard the name Chale Gai, Mr. Zhou had not yet realized this person's connection to Genghis Khan.

It was only when Chale Gai personally said he was a descendant of the Golden Bloodline that Mr. Zhou shuddered all over.

He finally understood that Half-Li Li's experience was connected to the list Zhang Lin had drafted!

The answer to why Genghis Khan's name would appear in the future timeline was very likely in Half-Li Li's story!

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou looked toward Chang San beside him.

He said in a casual tone: "This really is getting interesting now — even Genghis Khan's tomb has come up!"

"But I reckon this is definitely fake, after all the National Archaeological Institute has no records or leads whatsoever about the discovery of Genghis Khan's tomb."

"This man called Chale Gai is very likely a swindler. What do you say, Mr. Wei?"

Hearing Mr. Zhou ask this, Chang San's face was extremely awkward.

He braced himself and replied: "I also think it should be the case."

Though his mouth answered calmly, Chang San's heart was already a raging sea inside!

From the moment Zhang Lin spoke Genghis Khan's name, Chang San knew there was something fishy about this story.

Zhang Lin probably really did know many secrets of the Thunder-Listening Clan.

His claim that he knew the method to enter Lei Cheng was very likely true as well!

If that were really the case, then the Leichengjiu Society would be completely exposed!

Chang San could only keep listening, to see whether the place Half-Li Li went to in the story was really Lei Cheng!

……

"Master Guo saw that a few disciples had stayed behind, their eyes full of expectation, and was immediately displeased."

"Everyone must not forget Master Guo's identity — he is a swindler, and a master one at that."

"A man like that is bound to be worldly and hardened of heart."

"As for whether Master Guo has a conscience, he certainly does — but not much."

"You can tell from the fact that he never truly took his disciples underground — he didn't want to cost anyone their life."

"But not taking the initiative to harm people doesn't mean he has no temper!

"Looking at the greedy eyes of those who stayed behind, and the resentment toward him as their Master, Master Guo gave a cold snort in his heart."

"Then he introduced Chale Gai to Half-Li Li and the others: since you've all stayed, pay your respects to Mr. Chale Gai — this gentleman is a descendant of Genghis Khan Temujin, and he's come to me today for a big job!"

"Hearing this, Half-Li Li and the others' eyes all lit up; each of them trembled with excitement, all relieved that the large group had left just now."

"Otherwise there would have been too many people, and this bit of profit wouldn't have been enough to divide! Who wouldn't want a bigger share when tomb-raiding?"

"Master Guo saw his disciples' delight, snorted coldly in his heart though his face showed nothing, and went on: Mr. Chale Gai has reliable information about Genghis Khan's tomb, so he's come to Luoyang to find some experts. You've all followed me for a long time now, enough to stand on your own — if you're willing, go with Mr. Chale Gai."

"Once Master Guo finished saying this, how could Half-Li Li and the others hesitate — they nodded their heads like mad, terrified Master Guo would leave them out of the count."

"Chale Gai the Mongol was also very excited; he had originally thought Master Guo was unwilling to come out of retirement, and that he would return empty-handed again — he never expected such an unexpected gain."

"Chale Gai understood nothing of the tomb-raiding trade, nor could he tell the good from the bad among tomb raiders."

"He figured that since Master Guo had been introduced by the middleman, he must be a master, and Master Guo's disciples surely couldn't be far off either!"

"In such a case of one willing to deal and the other willing to be dealt with, Chale Gai spent only three days preparing, then took Half-Li Li and a party of eight and left Luoyang."

"Their next destination was the Mongolian grasslands!"
