Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

Seeing her ethereal beauty again brings a sense of comfort and joy.

Ah Fei laughed:

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something that made me happy."

Lianxing glared at him and snorted coldly:

"What made you happy?"

This means, if you don't explain this to me clearly, I'm not done with you today!

Afei raised an eyebrow, finding Lianxing's appearance quite amusing.

He turned and pointed to the exposed tunnel, saying:

"Of course it's this one; the really exciting part is definitely down below."

Lianxing had long been curious about the things underground. A sly glint appeared in her eyes, and a smirk played on her lips as she said:

"In that case, you go ahead and scout the way."

Ah Fei knew exactly what she wanted to do; he was simply leaving the danger to others.

However, Afei didn't care. After all, no matter what, Lianxing's mechanical skills were definitely not as good as his own.

Lianxing called out to Xingnu, instructing her to guard the outside.

He instructed that if there was any disturbance, they should immediately use the unique communication method of the "Flower Shifting Palace" to send an alarm.

Then Lianxing and Afei carefully entered the tunnel.

The tunnel was very short, about two zhang long, and the two of them quickly stepped onto the ground.

The space below doesn't resemble a secret room at all; it's more like a large cellar.

Lianxing pulled out a tinderbox from somewhere and lit it, allowing the two of them to see in the dim space.

The items in front of me are very simple, just two boxes.

The two boxes were exactly the same size, about three feet high and four feet square.

The difference lies in the decorations and colors on the boxes.

One of the mouths was adorned with emeralds, bright red gems, and dazzling pearls, shimmering with brilliant light.

The other box was jet black, with no decorations on it, and its contents were unknown.

Seeing this, Lianxing became excited, and even Afei felt his heart pounding even harder.

Although the place where the treasure is hidden is rather simple, its location is quite extraordinary.

The secret chamber of the leader of the "strongest sect in the world".

Ah Fei had assumed that there must be numerous hidden mechanisms and defenses here, ensuring that any intruders would never return.

There should be at least several secret rooms to distract people and make the treasure harder to find.

But to my surprise, the actual secret room had no mechanisms whatsoever, not even an alarm bell, and was so simple and monotonous.

After thinking about it, I realized it's probably because most people believe that the "Scripture Pavilion" is the most valuable place in "Shaolin".

Afei and Lianxing stepped forward and carefully examined the two boxes.

Lianxing was eager to open the box, but Afei stopped her.

Afei grabbed Lianxing's hand as she was about to touch the box and warned her:

"Be careful, there might be a trap on the box."

When her hand was grabbed, Lianxing stiffened for a moment, but quickly covered it up.

She turned to look at Ah Fei and snorted softly:

"Don't underestimate me. I don't even care about such trivial mechanical skills."

Lianxing, relying on her superior martial arts skills, didn't care about these unorthodox tricks.

Afei felt that Lianxing's hands were soft and smooth, as if he were grasping a warm stream flowing in spring.

He was afraid Lianxing would act rashly, so he didn't let go of her hand, saying:

"Don't be too careless. What if there's poisonous fog or insects when you open this box?"

"Or perhaps there are hidden weapons concealed there. Are you so sure you can evade these vicious ambushes?"

Lianxing hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said to Afei with a charming smile:

"Wouldn't that be more interesting?"

As she spoke, she grabbed Ah Fei's wrist and pulled him in front of her, saying:

"Since this is your target, you must have been prepared beforehand. Go ahead."

Lianxing's beautiful eyes flashed with a cunning glint as she told Afei to go ahead, but she didn't let go of his hand.

It's unclear whether it was to make it easier to open the box and pull Ah Fei away to take all the treasure for herself, or whether she was afraid there might be a trap inside the box that she could rescue in time.

Afei felt that Lianxing's nimble hands possessed seemingly boundless strength.

He sighed helplessly and cautiously reached forward with one hand.

Lianxing suddenly spoke up and asked:

Which one do you want to open first?

Ah Fei paused, then said coldly:

"Shut up."

Despite the mechanical arts granted by the seventh level of the "Lianhua Baojian" (a book on the treasures of the Lianhua Temple), Afei found it difficult to detect anything unusual about the two boxes from their appearance.

Either the mechanism on the box was too ingenious for Afei to see.

Either the box simply doesn't have any mechanisms set up.

Better safe than sorry. When it comes to the unknown, Ah Fei always harbors the worst expectations.

Lianxing never expected Afei to speak to her in such a tone. Her eyes widened, and she said:

"How dare you yell at me! You..."

Before she could react, she noticed Ah Fei's focused expression.

Lian Xingxiu snorted lightly and said nothing more, but took a half step back and tightened her grip on A Fei's hand.

Influenced by Afei's seriousness, she unconsciously became a little nervous as well.

After a long silence, a soft "click" sound suddenly rang out in the otherwise deathly quiet environment.

Lianxing's heart skipped a beat, and she gripped Afei's hand tightly.

"hiss--"

Ah Fei gasped.

Lianxing used too much force, causing him pain.

Ah Fei turned around and said through gritted teeth:

"Second Palace Master, you're too tight."

Lianxing then realized her lapse in composure, quickly relaxed, and somewhat stammered as she changed the subject:

Did you open it?

Upon hearing this, Ah Fei laughed and said:

"You should open it yourself; that way I can see it more clearly."

Lianxing was taken aback, unaware of the sarcasm in Afei's words.

Looking at Ah Fei's encouraging smile, she forcefully pursed her lips and said:

"If I open it, you'll be at a disadvantage. Aren't you afraid I'll take it all?"

Ah Fei's smile grew wider as he said:

"It's my first time, so if you want it, I'll give it to you."

Lianxing tilted her head, looking at Afei with some surprise.

When did this kid become so compromising?

As she pondered her words, she suddenly realized her slip of the tongue, and her delicate face instantly flushed crimson.

"you……"

Before Lianxing could erupt in embarrassment and anger, Afei grabbed her and pulled her over, pointing at the box and saying:

"Look at this."

The two were almost touching, and Lianxing could feel Afei's hot breath on her face.

Her beautiful face became even redder.

Following Afei's finger, Lianxing saw that the box had been opened, and its contents were displayed in front of the two of them.

Countless pearls, jade, gold and precious stones filled the boxes, and there were even swords inlaid with gemstones.

These jewels gleamed in the firelight.

Ah Fei thought to himself, "Most of the treasures of the entire 'Northern Shaolin' are probably here."

He secretly tested it and found that only gold could be put into the system; other treasures were not allowed.

This is probably because, although these jewels are beautiful, their market value is unstable, making them difficult to use as a general equivalent.

While Lianxing was distracted by the pearls and jade, Afei secretly transferred all the gold he found into the system.

Lianxing was unaware of his subtle actions, as she was already overwhelmed by the dazzling array of pearls and jade.

Most women prefer jewelry to gold and silver, especially jewelry with a beautiful design.

Although Lianxing was the second palace master of the Yihua Palace, she had seen a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the palace.

But it wasn't hers after all.

However, there wasn't much gold in the box; after being put into the system, it was automatically converted into silver.

Ah Fei glanced at the extra two million taels of silver that had appeared in the system and sighed.

It's still not enough.
