Chapter 730: Chapter 730: Acting Skills

Bai Junjun seemed to sense Li Wenli’s hesitation and sighed along with him. In fact, she had never entered this place before, and now they could only wander randomly.

After all, the left, middle, and right paths were all unknown to them.

Li Wenli didn’t hesitate for long, choosing the middle path to continue downwards. However, it wasn’t long before they reached the end. Although there was no way forward, two more paths appeared on the left and the right.

Li Wenli paused, considering the fact that he had chosen the middle path previously. Now with only left and right to choose from, how should he decide?

Li Wenli had no other option but to mutter quietly, "Miss, don’t blame me if I choose wrong."

"It’s okay, I’ll accompany you through this on my knees if necessary," Bai Junjun responded.

Li Wenli never expected Bai Junjun to answer him in such a way. At the moment he heard her, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat, a warm feeling rippling through him. Li Wenli couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile, "Alright."

He tightened his grip on Bai Junjun’s hand who he was carrying on his back, and proceeded cautiously to the right.

This was a narrow corridor that had clearly been carved out by people afterwards.

It was incomparable to the Underground Palace of Fahua Temple, which had existed for thousands of years; the walkways there were spacious and bright, completely without a sense of oppression. This place was different, resembling less a military underground fortress than a temporary warehouse.

As long as it could store things, aesthetics didn’t matter.

That’s why no one cared about the irregular, pitted rock walls.

At the moment, Li Wenli was impersonating Manager Qiao. Fortunately, they had been observing Manager Qiao these past days, so his walking posture and movements were quite convincingly familiar.

The fake Manager Qiao walked the long corridor until he finally saw a light ahead, a cave appearing in front of them.

Upon seeing the cave, Li Wenli was taken aback. He was pondering how to appear and explore when someone came out from inside.

The person, who appeared to be in his thirties, was initially startled to see him, then immediately bowed deeply and greeted, "Chief, didn’t you say you would come after the moon was full in a couple of days?"

"Um... something came up that needed my attention sooner," Li Wenli answered in a lowered voice.

The man, not suspecting anything, made a gesture to invite him further, "You’ve come at the right time. These past two days, we’ve been discussing the peculiar aspects of this blueprint. Please, help us solve the puzzle."

Li Wenli was astonished. The blueprint was exactly what he was looking for, and now it seemed it was effortlessly within his reach?

Li Wenli couldn’t help but smile, nodding happily as he followed the man into the cave, only realizing upon entering that the space was about seventy to eighty square meters. The cave was brightly lit, with all kinds of parts piled up on the floor.

There were gears, chains, and many square boxes, all of which seemed to be weapon components.

Scattered around these parts were about a dozen people, perhaps from being underground without sunlight for years, their complexions were pale, with sickly red veins in their eyes, perhaps from staying up all night and day.

Most of the craftsmen looked at him with more or less a hint of fear, then awkwardly turned away their gaze.

Li Wenli, being a clever man, naturally guessed that these people were perhaps here not of their own free will.

The man who had led him in noticed that the Second Seat was standing still and hurriedly came over to continue guiding him further inside.

It turned out that behind the mountain-like pile of parts, there were several desks, by which three people stood scratching their heads over a stack of drawings.

Seeing their expressions, they must have hit a bottleneck.
