Chapter 279 Going Down to the Lake Again
"Big Brother, what should we do next?"
Rong Zhao calculated for a long time, then said after a moment of silence:
"The way down the mountain has been blocked by Bai Guyan. The idea of going down the mountain from there is not practical. Since it is impossible, the only possible way out is there."
Rong Zhao pointed in front of Lin Qingqing.
"In the water?"
Rong Zhao nodded and said:
"We've checked everywhere, except in the water."
"But the monster in the water has just awakened. If we go into the water now, we will definitely wake it up."
"Well, there is an element of gambling here. However, we had already made up our minds to go into the water, but the plan was interrupted by that Bai. Now is a good time. I calculated a few times just now. The treasure will appear in a day or two. By then, it will be crowded, and many cultivators will rush to grab the treasure. But we came early and have the upper hand. We know the underwater environment better. There will be more people and more eyes. If we take advantage of the situation, we may get the treasure and go down the mountain in the chaos. I don't think that Bai can guard the exit no matter how many men he has."
Rong Zhao's analysis seemed to convince Lin Qingqing. She stood up and stretched her body, intending to follow Rong Zhao to explore the lake first.
"Big Brother, I will go with you."
"That's exactly what I meant. If I leave you here alone, you might be caught by the returning pursuers. Then I'll have to go back to save you. It's safer for me to keep you by my side."
"Thank you so much! You've considered it so carefully for me." Lin Qingqing said unhappily, but she was also angry at herself for her low level of cultivation and that she was only dragging Rong Zhao down.
Rong Zhao was choked by Lin Qingqing. He wanted to explain a few words, but then he felt that what he said was not wrong, so he closed his mouth again. However, seeing that she was depressed, he felt a little bit reluctant. Finally, after thinking about it, he reached out his hand and rubbed her head to comfort her, and stopped only after messing up her hair.
"Oh! Senior Brother, what are you doing? Stop it now!" No matter how hard Lin Qingqing struggled, she couldn't force the other party to stop, so she had to succumb to Rong Zhao's strength. Only after he stopped did she stare at Rong Zhao with red eyes.
Rong Zhao felt a little guilty and kept boasting:
"It feels good."
"Really? Apart from the feel, Senior Brother, don't you think it's any different from your own?"
"Uh...what?"
Lin Qingqing pointed to the top of her head, signaling Rong Zhao.
"It's a mess?"
Lin Qingqing nodded heavily at Rong Zhao angrily.
After confirming that it was his doing, Rong Zhao had no intention of shirking responsibility and planned to clean up the place himself to express his apology.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the cold touch suddenly penetrated his heart and made him feel so comfortable. Rong Zhao couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
When Rong Zhao opened his eyes again, he saw that the object in his hand was actually a white jade hairpin. The hairpin was originally inserted in Lin Qingqing's messy bun. He pulled it out involuntarily.
The sun happened to shine on the hairpin, and two golden characters flashed by, just in time to be captured by Rong Zhao. His pupils dilated instantly, and he stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and all he could think of was the word "impossible"...
Seeing that Rong Zhao had not made any move, Lin Qingqing, who thought something had happened, asked nervously:
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
"Nothing." Rong Zhao, who was pulled back to reality by Lin Qingqing's voice, pretended that nothing had happened. He took a deep breath and answered the other party's questions calmly.
