Chapter 2157: Protected by Dragon Energy

Mo Juechen obviously had absolute confidence in his own strength and didn’t think that he would face any problems in the tomb. Rather, he held contempt for Cheng Mingzi, this crazy old Taoist.

Cheng Mingzi didn’t care about Mo Juechen’s attitude. He stroked his beard and said calmly, “Because you have killed a lot of people, you are the most likely person to face trouble in a place with strong yin energy.”

Mo Juechen drank his tea with a disapproving expression. He thought that this old Taoist was a swindling liar.

Mo Juechen sneered. “Those ghosts will be scared away when they feel the malevolent aura around me.”

“But if there is something sinister in the state preceptor’s tomb, you are the most likely to have an accident.”

“Even though I’ve killed many people, I still can’t compare to Gu Rui. People like him should die first, no?”

“Young Master Gu is protected by dragon energy.”

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes and stared at Gu Rui. Could it be that Gu Rui really would be successful in restoring his kingdom?

If she’d had this knowledge earlier, Ning Shu would have also learned chi detection. Back then, she had only learned how to catch ghosts and draw talismans from Old Man Tao.

With chi detection, she would have been able to see a person’s fortune.

For example, those who possessed purple energy were either rich or noble.

Sadly, she had been too busy during that task and hadn’t had the chance to learn this skill.

Cheng Mingzi looked at Ning Shu. As he stared, his expression turned puzzled and he even pinched his fingers to calculate something.

“Taoist Cheng, is there a problem?” Gu Rui asked.

“I’m afraid things won’t go well this time. Young Master Gu be prepared,” Cheng Mingzi said to Gu Rui with a frown.

“Thank you, Taoist Cheng.”

“Let us rest for today. Tomorrow, we will go to the mountain and look for the tomb.”

Ning Shu entered her room for the night. She was up before dawn the next day.

Ning Shu hung her pouches around her waist, then checked if anything had fallen out before opening the door. Gu Rui was standing at the door.

“Let’s go.”

Ning Shu followed Gu Rui outside the inn to where a group of people was waiting.

These people had transported the goods before. Since they were strong martial artists, they would add a lot more manpower to the group.

“Not only are you fat, but you’re also lazy. We’re always waiting for you,” Mo Juechen said contemptuously.

Ning Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him. It would just be a waste of energy.

The group left the town and headed towards the mountain.

This stretch of mountain was covered in a thick miasma.

Cheng Mingzi, who was walking in front, held a compass in his hand and led the group through many twists and turns.

Ning Shu walked at the back of the group with a branch for support. She pushed through the deep yellow grass while checking the surroundings.

Fortunately, although Ning Shu was fat, she could keep up with the group’s progress.

Gu Rui, who was walking in front, turned around and said to Ning Shu, “Come walk up front.”

The person ahead of Ning Shu gave way and let her pass.

Ning Shu walked over to Gu Rui and Mo Juechen.

“Follow me. There are many poisonous snakes and insects on this mountain,” Gu Rui said.

Ning Shu: …

On such a cold day, all the snakes would be hibernating. What did he mean that there were poisonous snakes and insects?

Ning Shu didn’t feel that Gu Rui cared about herself and there was even a hint of exploitation in his actions.

The compass needle in Cheng Mingzi’s hand continuously moved.

After a long while, Ning Shu felt a little pain in her feet. She didn’t know how long they had been walking up and down this mountain forest.

“Taoist Cheng, how is it?” Gu Rui asked Cheng Mingzi.

Cheng Mingzi shook his head. “The guidance is very weak. I can’t find it right now.”

Gu Rui’s expression was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He appeared to be in no hurry and was instead calm and stable. Ning Shu couldn’t help but admire him.

“Let’s rest for a while and have something to eat,” Gu Rui said.
