Chapter 578: The Stars of the Cosmos Shift! The Compass Spins Wildly! Unwilling to Give Up!

"Boss Yin, how should I put this to you..."

Yin Nanfeng shot Zhang Lin a look and said, "Of course speak the truth—opened is opened, not opened is not opened."

Zhang Lin smiled faintly and said, "Not opened."

This time Zhang Lin's answer was especially crisp and decisive.

Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng's willow brows knit slightly—she knew perfectly well what kind of person Zhang Lin was.

She could believe that this dragon-patterned stone box was somewhat difficult to open, but if someone claimed it could stump a man like Zhang Lin to the point of making zero progress, she wouldn't believe it even if you beat her to death!

So Yin Nanfeng understood perfectly well that right now Zhang Lin was absolutely lying to her, yet even so, she couldn't bring herself to question him to his face.

She could only say in a flat, noncommittal tone: "Who would have thought this dragon-patterned stone box was so heaven-defying that even you've been stumped."

Zhang Lin put on a show of modesty and said, "You're too kind, Boss Yin. I'm no immortal either—it's impossible for me to solve every puzzle."

"Then I'd really love to hear exactly which aspect has stumped Mr. Zhang?"

As a storyteller, spinning a tale came easily to Zhang Lin. Without a second thought, he said without hesitation, "According to my research, this dragon-patterned stone box requires not just a password, but also the right timing, the right place, and the right people."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Yin Nanfeng asked with keen interest.

"It means you need to wait for the right moment, be at the right place, and have the right person open it."

Yin Nanfeng put her hands behind her back, The Fist Has Already clenched so tightly it was nearly dead—she thought to herself, you Zhang Lin, are you taking me for a fool?

She had never heard of anything so miraculous, and even if such a thing truly existed, with abilities like Zhang Lin's, he should have long since figured out the situation inside.

And judging by his impatient manner, he would absolutely have found a way to open the dragon-patterned stone box at the very first opportunity.

But Zhang Lin's way of beating around the bush right now made Yin Nanfeng understand that the man was simply playing dumb with her.

Looking at Zhang Lin's smiling, genial appearance, he didn't seem to mind at all that she had seen through all of it.
