281 Going to the tomb

" Oooh, it looks a bit spooky doesn't it?" Shi Caihong looked at the mountain that was covered with a layer of thick mist making it look even more dangerous than it did in the morning. When they were looking through the window, it didn't look this scary but now that they were standing right at the foot of the mountain, it was looking twice as scary as it once did. "Will we be all right?"

" Come on, Caihong," Li Yiqian rolled his eyes and winked at her. " We have gone to places scarier than this, have you forgotten about the haunted graveyard in city K? The tourists all said that the graveyard was haunted by a woman who couldn't rest after she was beaten to death by her husband but when we went there, what did we see? It was the woman's family who was pretending as ghosts so that they could scare that bastard who hit their sister and daughter to death, weren't you there? I can assure you that there is nothing of the sort up that mountain, at most we will find a wild animal or a villager hiding inside the tomb, dressed up as a ghost."

Shi Caihong still looked a bit nervous, seeing her frown and clasp her hands together, Shao Li Jun's heart softened and he boldly stepped in front of her before patting her on the shoulders as he said, " Don't worry Caihong, I am with you. I will definitely save you in case of danger, you don't have to worry."

Listening to his words Shi Caihong rolled her eyes as she snorted before walking away from him and getting closer to Tao Guotin who was surveying the entire area while using his cellphone to Livestream the scene in front of him. " Hey, everyone as you can see we are at the foot of the mountain where the tomb of the Lost King is, wish us luck! We are going to start our excavation at any moment!"

" That's right, especially wish me luck, I am scared the most here," seizing her chance, Shi Caihong hugged Tao Guotin's arm as she waved at the screen and pouted with an aggrieved look in her eyes.

Everyone was used to Shi Caihong throwing herself at the Tao Guotin, neither of them said anything on the other hand Fan Ehuang stared up at the mountain, her blunt bob fluttered in the air as she peered at the dark mountain top without any light and frowned, " That's weird, I looked up the weather before coming here, it was supposed to be a clear sky? Why is the mountain covered with thick mist?"

Li Na too stared at the mountain and rubbed her arms, her twin buns shivered along with her as she said, " And what about this sudden chill, can't you guys feel it? Because I sure can, it's like I am standing in the middle of an ice cellar."  She turned to look at the girl standing next to her and asked, " Don't you think so Mei Xing?"

Mei Xing was a rather weird girl in the eyes of these young misses and young masters, she was silent and always stern with her face as cold as ice but she was the daughter of a rather Mei Corporates and thus, they were willing to let her inside their group. Dressed in a white shirt with a plated blue skirt she stared at the top of the mountain and clutched the bracelet that she was wearing on her wrist and shuddered. This bracelet was given to her by her grandma, her grandma had warned her that she had a physique that attracted ghosts easily, according to her grandmother, she was an extremely rare celestial master.

A person who stayed on the boundary of the living and the dead.

Her grandmother had told her that because she wasn't ready and that there was no celestial master who can take her as their disciple, she should stay where she was in case she was attacked by a spirit, that she couldn't tackle.

Of course, Mei Xing took her grandma's blabbering as nothing but nonsense and that was why she agreed to go to places like these. She was a headstrong girl and wanted to show her grandmother that the nonsense she heard from the fake master was nothing but a load of bull.

And that the bracelet on her wrist was nothing but a sham played by the master but now that she was standing at the foot of the mountain, the bracelet on her wrist was burning into her skin as if telling her to go back and never return to this place.

This was something that she never felt in any other place.

Li Na saw that Mei Xing didn't reply but she wasn't the slightest bit offended, she was used to Mei Xing's weird temper. Instead, she turned to Fan Ehuang and said, " Ehuang, don't you think that this place feels a bit awkward? I mean I never felt like this before but now that I am here, I feel a little scared."

"What are you scared of?" Li Yiqian rolled his eyes as he looked at Li Na before Fan Ehuang could reply to her. " We all agreed to go to that tomb and explore, didn't we? Now, are you all going to take a step back huh? I don't care, if you want to leave then off you go, I will go to that tomb alone and show you all that there is nothing like ghosts in the world."

After saying so, he bravely took a step on the mountain trail that was covered with wild bushes and weeds. A crunch resounded in the clearing causing the girls to jump in the air. Seeing their scared appearances, Li Yiqian laughed, " Will you look at that? You all look like you have seen a ghost! Hahaha, what a bunch of cowardly cats."

His provoking taunts got the reaction that he was waiting for as the girls all rolled their sleeves and said, " Who is scared? Let's go."
