Chapter 138: Chapter 107: Your Person?

Although it was a sentence spoken without expression, Ah Guna’s words carried an indestructible determination, prompting attention to the Great Priest Temple both from Gong Jiu and his group, and Leng She.

"What Supreme Hall? Is that the name of this temple?"

Yet clearly there was no signature on the plaque...

Supreme Hall? The name did seem unusual...

Ah Guna paid no mind to the questions of others, simply responding dismissively, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand."

You prick!

Leng She took one look at Ah Guna and decided not to pursue the matter further, because as long as they opened this gate, everything would become clear.

He believed that under his exceptionally strong firepower, no problem was insurmountable,

And just at that moment, Gong Jiu had already followed Sui Yi up the straight path to the palace’s front gate. Gong Jiu squinted and sighed, "I feel as if I’m walking on the Oscars red carpet or a wedding red carpet... Sui Yi, what do you think?"

Sui Yi didn’t utter a word, pretending not to have heard. In fact, Sui Yi felt even stranger at this moment.

She didn’t know why she had such a feeling, as if this road...

She had walked it many times before.

She really shouldn’t have any relation to the Ye family, should she?

Inevitably, Sui Yi began to murmur in her heart. Thankfully, what seemed like a long road came to an end quickly.

Just like how the more one fears death, the quicker it arrives.

Arriving at the front gate of the palace, Sui Yi looked towards Gong Jiu, as if to say, see what you can do~~~

At this moment, Gong Jiu was completely composed, his hand caressing the black varnish and gold flat surface of the gate.

"This palace’s gate is indeed odd," Yaofei mused with furrowed brows.

"The origin of the gate, derived from the ancient portals of entry, initially called ’caves’. During the Han Dynasty, when the constructions adjacent to the portal became towering, they were referred to as que. If the residence belonged to a powerful magnate or nobility, they would also establish shadow walls beside the portal,"

Sui Yi’s voice was particularly pleasing to the ear. Even though it was as direct as reading from a book, it was subtly soft and gentle, drawing everyone in and making them look unconsciously towards the sides of the gate. Kadis sneered, "Shadow walls, where? There’s just a gate here!"

Kadis, a Russian, tall and burly, always embodied his nation’s fiery passion and revered strength, and had no understanding of cultural nuances like these portals, hence his hostility towards Sui Yi’s remark.

"It’s precisely the lack of it that’s odd... Miss Sui Yi, is that what you mean?" Leng She asked with a faint smile.

"Such a palace in the Nine Palaces style, dragon-shaped, could only be constructed by the nobility or Imperial Family, yet it lacks shadow walls, and there are no bronze bells on the gate either, it doesn’t seem to count as a proper gateway. It is indeed odd..." Leng She had an exceptional observational skill, and with just a few words from Sui Yi, he clearly interpreted her implication.

Gong Jiu and the rest found it strange upon hearing this.

They were not new to this line of work; although not architects, they were well-versed in this area. Simply put, they were unofficial archaeologists.

Without a proper gateway, then it couldn’t be considered a gate; a place without a gate yet with a gate, lavish yet lacking in the symbol of prestige, the shadow wall.

If so, what kind of person could have lived here?

"A lavish place in the Nine Palaces, lacking a proper gateway and shadow wall, there’s only one kind of place," Sui Yi said emotionlessly, pausing before she turned to look at Ah Guna.

"That is the Divine Temple."

The Divine Temple?!!!

Everyone was astonished.

Upon hearing this, Flower Demon murmured, "Goodness gracious, if this is a Divine Temple, then it’s way too extravagant, definitely a symbol of corruption that exhausts the people..."

In an instant, Ah Guna’s arrow was already aimed at Flower Demon’s head.

Shen Di and the others went on alert, ready to attack Ah Guna...

Gong Jiu was enraged!

"Are you guys planning to have an internal fight before getting wiped out?"

Sui Yi glanced indifferently, "Better to die by our own hands than by others, that’s probably what they think."

Swish, all of them simultaneously withdrew their attacks.

At that moment, Leng She’s Snake Sword was against Sui Yi’s neck, icy cold.

Effortlessly, with just a little more force, the sword could decapitate her.

"Miss Sui Yi is right, if that is what you think, then I wouldn’t mind helping..."

Sui Yi fell silent. Why was she always the one getting shot?

Gong Jiu looked at Leng She’s sword, then at Sui Yi, and grimaced, "Don’t rush, I need to recall how to open the gate, even Doraemon needs an incantation to open a sesame door, right~~"

Everyone was taken aback.
