Chapter 1621: Chapter 1707: Lending a Hand

Originally, I planned to join the archaeology trip for fun, but Su Xuan really isn’t interested in those archaeological places.

When Su Xuan woke up again, it was already evening, and Huo Qiyin and the others had returned. Su Xuan saw that they looked exhausted and surmised that they probably didn’t discover anything.

"Tianyi, how is it, are you tired?"

"So tired!"

Luo Tianyi pouted coquettishly as she approached Su Xuan, then grabbed Su Xuan’s arm with both hands, looking very fatigued.

"If it’s so tiring, don’t go tomorrow. Wait until the professor makes a discovery. You’re a girl blowing in the wind and sand all day, it’s too harsh!"

Su Xuan pulled Luo Tianyi to sit at the table to eat. Everyone else also looked exhausted. Although today wasn’t particularly windy or turbulent, it was very dry outside, and staying out for a long time was really uncomfortable.

"Hey buddy, are you free tomorrow?"

Huo Qiyin looked at Su Xuan curiously. Su Xuan knew that the old guy wanted his help, which wasn’t surprising; when Su Xuan discovered the Ancient Tomb, his incredible skills made them regard him as a master—his accuracy made Huo Qiyin embarrassed, thinking that Su Xuan was the real expert. He could judge there was a tunnel below just by driving four steel pipes into the ground without pulling them out.

Of course, Su Xuan didn’t tell them what method he used suddenly, but in the Firearms Camp, this guy was considered quite skilled, even to a degree that impressed them greatly. Actually, this time they came to search for the Yuan Tiangang Tomb, but the desert was so vast that they couldn’t find it, which was truly challenging.

"You’re not asking me to help you with tomb raiding, are you?"

Su Xuan said weakly.

"Cough cough... We’re archaeologists!"

Firearms Camp awkwardly explained, thinking that they are legitimate and couldn’t be called tomb raiders.

"Uh... Same thing! Aren’t they all entering the tomb?"

In Su Xuan’s view, it’s essentially the same; one is legal, the other isn’t. He really doesn’t have much interest in tomb raiding, as he personally finds it rather taboo to enter other people’s tombs.

"Brother Su Xuan, won’t you help us find it? Look, two-thirds of the Dragon Gate Inn guests are here searching for the Heavenly Gang Tomb. If they find it, think of the huge loss to the nation."

Luo Tianyi pleaded coquettishly, and this tactic really worked. Su Xuan’s heart was itching by this sentence. He’s always softened by beauties and with Luo Tianyi’s coaxing, he was almost disoriented!

"Well..."

Su Xuan was about to say something when Luo Tianyi whispered in his ear.

"Tonight I’ll have Sister Xia sleep with Wang so you can come over and give me a shoulder rub, how about it?"

"Gulp..."

Su Xuan swallowed his saliva directly, thinking she’s seducing him. Why is this trick so effective? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Alright, for the sake of the national interest, I’ll reluctantly agree. You know I’m very patriotic!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless, and Luo Tianyi was so exasperated that she pinched his waist, thinking surely it’s because he missed her! But her heart was sweet nonetheless.

"Can you really help us, buddy?"

Seeing Su Xuan agree to help, Huo Qiyin was genuinely excited.

"My wife spoke up, how could I not agree? But I’m curious, when you go out so openly, aren’t you afraid of being followed?"

"Haha, brother, I’m telling you they wouldn’t bother following us!"

Bu Daming said with a smile.

"Uh... Why’s that?"

Su Xuan asked curiously.

"Because they think these guys can’t find the tomb at all. It’s been four years, and actually, many Tomb Seekers have found tombs in this desert, but the archaeology teams always come back empty-handed!"

When Bu Daming finished speaking, Huo Qiyin’s face turned red with embarrassment, and Su Xuan understood that they couldn’t find the tomb because they were too gentle, prioritizing protection. In the desert, unless you have sharp eyes to spot where a tomb might be, it’s really hard to find one, especially without any reference.

Whereas Tomb Seekers directly plant bombs and blast away, prioritizing the outcome over the methods.

"Cough cough... Brother Bu, you can’t say that or you’ll have no friends. Old man, I’ll help you out tomorrow, but I can’t guarantee finding it; before was sheer luck!"

Su Xuan meant this sincerely. The Dark Strength spreading through pipes covered at most a meter; if the location was wrong, there was nothing he could do. Luck played a big part, so naturally, it’s not always the same.

"Well, young brother, what are you saying! I’m already extremely grateful for your willingness to help!"

Looking at Su Xuan, the old man was genuinely grateful. This task was indeed very critical. With Su Xuan’s help, he felt much more confident.

Seeing Su Xuan, Luo Tianyi showed a happy smile on her face, knowing Su Xuan agreed because of her.

As they were eating, suddenly a handsome, dashing gentleman strode towards Su Xuan, holding a Longsword. This person was unmistakably none other than Jade-faced Divine Sword, Qin Bo.

At that moment, Qin Bo radiated a formidable Killing Aura, and Su Xuan could sense that this guy probably wanted to kill him. With a cold laugh, a surge of Dark Strength instantly started circulating underground. If he stepped into a certain range, Su Xuan could disable him.

Su Xuan despises people like Jade-faced Divine Sword, who are narrow-minded. If you can’t win a girl’s heart, it only means you are useless; why vent your Qi on someone else?

"Qin Bo, what are you doing? Remember the rules of Dragon Gate Inn; if you dare touch him now, you know the consequences!"

Right then, a female voice sounded, unmistakably Fragrant Concubine. She truly looked down on Qin Bo more and more—unable to compete, yet running here to embarrass himself.
