Chapter 2144: Chapter 2144: No Next Time

How much does he hate him, to actually bring him to such a plight!

"Huff!"

He took a deep breath, and his strength finally returned, allowing him to stand up, albeit shakily.

Such a commotion had ensued that nearly every guard at the Imperial Tomb was aware of what had happened; there was no chance of keeping it a secret.

But he was not willing to accept this, having served the Emperor for many years, guarding this Imperial Tomb without the chance to reunite with his own family. And now, because of him, was he to let his family pay with their lives?

No, he could not let his family die for him. Even if it meant conveying news of the Imperial Tomb to the Emperor, he had to make arrangements for his family to escape beforehand.

He could no longer allow his family to stay in Ziyan Kingdom.

"Immediately tally up the damages within the Imperial Tomb. I need to report to the Emperor," he ordered the Tomb Guards.

"Yes, General."

Although the Tomb Guards were also trembling with fear, they dared not defy the General’s orders and set out to carry them out.

...

"Sangsang, Sangsang, are you resting?"

Outside, Lin Changhong’s voice could be heard, but his words were cut short as Jiang Li, who was behind him, covered his mouth.

"Young Master, are you trying to make sure that everyone outside is aware that the lord and lady are inside Prince Niu’s Mansion?" he whispered into Lin Changhong’s ear.

Calling out so loudly, did he want the entire Prince Niu’s Mansion to know they came from the desolate lands, the very people Yin Lvqing was searching for?

Upon hearing this, Lin Changhong was also slightly startled.

However, he raised his hand and patted Jiang Li’s hand, which was covering his mouth, so Jiang Li let go.

"I forgot for a moment. I’ll be more careful next time."

Lin Changhong looked at his sister, who was giving him a reproachful look, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"There won’t be a next time," Lin Caisang said.

If they let her elder brother go out again, it would probably become known through the entire Dream Flame City that they were staying in Prince Niu’s Mansion.

At that time, not only Yin Lvqing, but also the person behind Yin Lvqing would come after them. It was not yet time to reveal their whereabouts; they still needed long-term planning.

"Alright, alright, next time we’ll send Chushui out. That should be fine," Lin Changhong said, resigned.

At this time, he couldn’t afford to anger his sister, or else his father and mother would surely give their son a beating to vent their frustration on behalf of their daughter.

So, he had to soothe his sister first.

"Sangsang, look at these. I’ve brought them back from the Imperial Tomb. Inside the Imperial Tomb of Ziyan Kingdom, there are not only Purple Qi Stones but also Dragon-Stealing Pills, like this one."

He held out a very red pearl towards his sister.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned the pearl in his hand and presented the Dragon-Stealing Pill to Sui Zimo instead.

"This Dragon-Stealing Pill is not a good thing, Sangsang, you better not touch it."

Otherwise, his parents would still give him a beating.

Sui Zimo took the Dragon-Stealing Pill and examined it carefully before nodding to his wife.

"Indeed it’s a Dragon-Stealing Pill, but there’s not a trace of spiritual energy on it. It seems it was never discovered by anyone, and has been discarded all this time,"

he said.

"That’s fortunate," Lin Caisang said.

Yes, indeed it was fortunate. If this item had been discovered and utilized, it would surely have been a disaster for Illusion Continent.
