Chapter 118 Even the Emperor Has to Cooperate with the Investigation

Only Chang Xi beamed with joy, "If none of them want it, then I can take three portions!"

Shen Kongming put his hands together in prayer and said, "Amitabha, monks do not covet worldly things."

"Then give me your share," Yan Feishuang said quietly.

Shen Kongming picked up a string of Bodhi beads and praised, "This string of Bodhi beads is really nice. I can give it back to the abbot as a gift."

Pshaw, I thought you were so poor and lowly that you couldn't change your ways. You really are just a monk who hasn't completely severed worldly desires.

The three of them each picked out their favorite item.

Chang Xi explained to the camera, "This was a gift from its owner, not a stolen cultural relic."

The police can't arrest her.

So many treasures, I want them all!

"Your Majesty, I am your long-lost sister!"

I thought I'd never fall in love again, but after seeing these, I'm sure I can fall in love eight hundred more times!

[Is the tomb raider dead?]

"He's not dead, he's not dead. Our Emperor knows what he's doing."

[If you're still alive, how can you not be considered alive?]

Chang Xi carefully tucked the treasure away and asked Xiao Chen, "Have you thought about what you're going to do next? The outside world is different now."

Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment before saying, "I am going to find the evil god. It is the responsibility of the Heavenly Maiden and the Xiao family to protect the seal. I will finish what A-Wu was unable to do, and then I will go to find my wife."

He carefully put the portrait away.

"Oh," Changxi nodded, "There's one more thing. I have two friends who fell off the cliff outside the palace. Can you tell us where they are?"

"What if we barge in and disturb the peaceful rest of some emperor of the Xiao family? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. If these people were allowed to run around and disturb the ancestors, it wouldn't be good.

Xiao Chen whistled a slightly rhythmic tune.

The woman trapped in the imperial kitchen appeared at the door the next second.

"Go and bring their two friends back safe and sound."

At Xiao Chen's command, Tang Nu turned and left. In less than ten minutes, she appeared before everyone, carrying Lu Wenli in one hand and Shui Liuli in the other.

Lu Wenli and his companion stood with their hands hanging down in front of them, not daring to move an inch in front of this woman with exceptional martial arts skills.

The woman put the two down and then returned to stand behind Xiao Chen with a group of palace guards, behaving very obediently.

Lu Wenli stared blankly for a moment, then stood up and asked, "Master, have you two reconciled?"

Shui Liuli also stood up, and at this moment she looked at Lu Wenli with particular displeasure. "Needless to say, they will definitely listen to the Emperor of Tianque, you idiot."

"Hey, are you out of your mind?" Lu Wenli retorted, his tone shifting. "Who's the slacker here?"

"Of course it's you. You were fooled by Sima Yong for so long," Shui Liuli said.

Lu Wenli scoffed, "I wonder who it was that got swindled out of all their clothes by Sima Chong on their last trip down the mountain."

Chang Xi stroked his chin. "Hiss, you two went in too. It seems this illusion has a wide reach. Or is it because you were involved, so you were pulled in regardless of whether you were actually there or not?"

Lu Wenli and Shui Liuli shook their heads in unison, then glanced at each other and let out an even louder snort.

I think these two won't be able to get together anytime soon.

Enemies from a past life, adversaries in this one.

[Judging by how much hatred these two seem to harbor, are they going to start a fight?]

[With her small arms and legs, Shui Liuli is no match for Lu Wenli.]

"Sima, you scoundrel, take this punch!" Shui Liuli leaped up, more agile than a fish in the sea.

"Ah!" Lu Wenli was surprised to find himself with a dark circle under his eyes.

"Pull them apart! Pull them apart!" Chang Xi frantically directed everyone to separate the two people.

The entrance to the tomb has been secured by the police, and even the tomb raiders who remained there have been apprehended.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Chen appeared before them wearing a dragon robe.

Then came the others.

"Where's our captain?" Members of the Third Special Investigation Team were the first to arrive.

Chang Xi pointed behind him, and Ji Rufeng dragged out the half-dead tomb raider leader, panting heavily. "Why is this guy as heavy as a dead pig?"

"Captain!" the officer whispered, "Your rank has been restored, and you've been ordered to take the Emperor back for questioning."

It would be better not to call him back at all; how could Xiao Chen possibly listen to him?

Don't let him get upset and kill you.

I knew those old guys in Team One and Team Two were up to no good; they dumped all the troublesome stuff on him.

Ji Rufeng remained outwardly calm and, after setting the leader down, instructed, "Find a stretcher and carry this person away."

Many people gathered around Xiao Chen, since it was the first time they had ever seen the living owner of the tomb.

Xiao Chen looked around and realized that the world a thousand years later was indeed very different. These strange wheeled boxes could glow and move, and some small cubes could not only glow but also move, with little people on them.

Despite the turmoil raging within him, Xiao Chen maintained a calm and composed demeanor to uphold the emperor's dignity.

The guardian and the pond maid at the entrance of the tomb stopped in their tracks; they were dead and could not walk into the sunlight like Xiao Chen.

Ji Rufeng stepped forward and tried to negotiate, "Your Majesty, we need to take you back for an investigation and explain the whole matter clearly."

"Granted," Xiao Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Chang Xi, "However, I need her to accompany me throughout the entire process, otherwise, it's out of the question."

"This," Ji Rufeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "that works too."

Chang Xi was looking down at his phone, wanting to put the three treasures he had taken up for sale online.

Huo Dongjun gently reminded him, "I know a few auction house presidents who can help you auction these things off. Auction house clients love these kinds of old treasures, and the bidding war will drive up the price, making you more money than if you list them online."

"Oh? That's great," Chang Xi narrowed her eyes and handed him everything. "Then I'll trouble you. We'll split the profits 20/80."

"No need, you can treat me to dinner later," Huo Dongjun smiled slightly.

Gu Qingfeng squeezed in, "What are you guys talking about?"

"It's nothing," the two tacitly looked away.

Gu Qingfeng gritted his teeth inwardly. Damn it, he hadn't heard clearly just now. These two were obviously up to something.

Seeing that she had a moment to spare, Ji Rufeng waved to her, "Chang Xi, His Majesty requests that you go back with him to conduct an investigation."

Chang Xi had just received several valuable items from someone and was happy to provide after-sales service. "Okay, boss, my after-sales service is top-notch!"

Xiao Chen asked in confusion: What is after-sales service?

He didn't ask, because that would make him seem ignorant.

The Special Investigations Department has a dedicated meeting room for receiving guests, where filming is permitted.

Wow, is this the legendary Special Investigations Department?

It looks so high-tech!

[This shouldn't be headquarters. Didn't Ji Rufeng say he was the captain of the third detachment?]

[If the third team is this powerful, how strong must the first team be?]

Each of the first and second detachments sent an elderly police officer, along with a high-ranking member of the Xuanmeng, to accompany Ji Rufeng in the investigation and questioning.

The leader of the Xuanmeng was a foreigner who didn't speak fluent Chinese and had a somewhat arrogant attitude.

"Who are you?"
