The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 223 - 220 Why are you so clingy?

Chapter 223: Chapter 220 Why are you so clingy?

Huang Wei said you used an unconventional method to cure them, and then we came back. Having so many poison sores on your body looks terrible, but as long as they get better, that’s what matters!"

They had come to see the patients in the morning, and after receiving good news from a classmate, they had come again.

"Uncle Jing, we two need to discuss entering the tomb, so we’ll be leaving first."

Qin Zhao saw he had guests and left first.

But as soon as she and Shangguan Qiu left, Ye Qian and Kang Xingkuan stared at their backs.

After watching for a long time, they withdrew their gazes.

Ye Qian asked Shangguan Jing, "Teacher, the tomb is so dangerous, are you guys still going in?"

"I’m not going, just the two of them."

Shangguan Jing then told Ye Qian and Kang Xingkuan what Old Li had said.

"The curse of the Evil God sounds terrifying. But since the Tomb Robber has been able to safely go in and out several times, he must know many tricks to deal with the Evil God."

"Yes, the tomb is said to date back to ancient times, and if we can discover something meaningful inside, it would be precious information for the cultural community."

After they finished speaking, they glanced at each other.

"Teacher, we would also like to go into the tomb to take a look, can we join them?"

Shangguan Jing frowned at them, "You also want to go in? Aren’t you afraid of danger? The last time we went in, we encountered such troublesome matters, and who knows what we will encounter this time."

"But they all got better, didn’t they?"

"With the Tomb Robber joining, I think the danger will be reduced. If we also suffer from the curse of the Evil God, then you can use that method to treat us."

Shangguan Jing didn’t speak, clearly still pondering.

Kang Xingkuan continued to persuade, "There are just a few of them going in? It’s even less safe with just two girls. We don’t know if the Tomb Robber has ulterior motives. Having more people would ensure more safety."

"Teacher, I still think we need some boys to join."

After Kang Xingkuan finished speaking, Ye Qian eagerly looked at Shangguan Jing.

Shangguan Jing thought carefully and felt their points made some sense.

The tomb was dangerous, and Old Li clearly knew more about it than Qin Zhao and the others. If Old Li had any bad intentions, they could easily be plotted against. Having more people might provide some protection.

"Okay, I’ll tell Xiaoqiu about it."

After receiving Shangguan Jing’s reply, the two were satisfied and entered the patient room.

After visiting the patient, they quickly left the hospital. But before leaving, they reminded Shangguan Jing to tell Shangguan Qiu to have them accompany him to the tomb of the high monk.

-

Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu discussed and then went home.

Chu Yan was not at home, he had gone to the hospital. Qin Zhao had already confirmed the time to enter the tomb with Shangguan Qiu, but she didn’t plan to tell Chu Yan. She intended to sneak to the tomb by herself.

She had wanted to bring Chu Yan along, but this time it was a bit dangerous.

She still didn’t know whether what Old Li said was true or false, and she also didn’t know how powerful the Evil God in the tomb was. Therefore, she chose not to bring him. Otherwise, she would have to protect him later.

As for the threatening words Chu Yan said to her today, Qin Zhao had long forgotten them.

She hadn’t rested long at home when Shangguan Qiu called.

"Uncle just said that his two students want to join us."

"Didn’t he tell those two about the dangers of the tomb?"

"He did, but they still want to go, hoping to find valuable artifacts or something. Moreover, Uncle thinks Old Li is unreliable and says it’s safer with more people."

"If they want artifacts, we can bring some out for them."

Qin Zhao was not keen on them joining. After all, she found even Chu Yan to be a hindrance, let alone others.

"I’ll just refuse them."

"Um, refuse them."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhao started packing.

It was more convenient since she and Shangguan Qiu were traveling together; they could leave at any time.

They had agreed to meet the next afternoon and their first stop was the police station to pick up Old Li.

The tomb was not in Imperial City, but rather in a remote village in the mountains between Imperial City and Liancheng. By the time they drove to the village, it was very late, so they had to stay there for the night.

In his home in Imperial City, Chu Yan returned home that evening and waited a long time without seeing Qin Zhao.

Around nine o’clock, he finally realized that his wife had left him at home!

Chu Yan made several video calls to Qin Zhao before she finally answered.

As soon as the call connected, Chu Yan’s cool, handsome face filled the screen, his gaze frosty.

"So, you’re in a traveler’s lodge? It looks like you’ve already arrived."

He surveyed Qin Zhao’s surroundings and then, with gritted teeth, asked, "Didn’t you say you’d take me with you?"

Qin Zhao, munching on takeout, mumbled, "Why are you so clingy? We set the time last minute; there wasn’t time to tell you. Besides, what would you do here? You don’t have any business here.

Being so clingy isn’t good, okay? Just stay put at home."

Chu Yan grew annoyed and replied with a sarcastic "heh."

Qin Zhao glared at him discontentedly, "I’m doing this for your own good. Why are you throwing a tantrum?"

"What last-minute timing? You just didn’t want to bring me!"

"Yes, what about it? Are you going to bite me or something?"

Qin Zhao admitted as she continued to gnaw on a chicken foot.

Seeing her enjoy her food, Chu Yan’s gaze turned even more plaintive.

"Oh right, I brought the teddy bear cookies you made yesterday."

Qin Zhao grabbed a tin beside her to show him.

His look turned even more wistful as he gritted his teeth, "You didn’t take me with you, and you took the teddy bear cookies I made!"

"They were made for me to eat in the first place. What’s wrong with me taking them?"

Qin Zhao snorted arrogantly.

Chu Yan was so angry, he wanted to hang up the video call, but he couldn’t bear to let her go.

Staring at the video for a long time, he noticed a tissue box on the table with the lodge’s name on it.

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, then used his computer to look up the lodge.

Since there were no chain lodges in such small towns, the lodge with that name could only be found in the place where Qin Zhao was, and he quickly found an online booking link for the lodge in their town.

"I’m going to wash up, hanging up now."

Qin Zhao glanced at the screen and saw Chu Yan with his head raised looking at his computer, only his sharply angled jawline and fair neck visible.

He took a sip of water from beside him, his Adam’s apple moving slightly, which inexplicably made her cheeks heat up.

It took a long while before Chu Yan responded, "Um."

He answered softly, seeming somewhat distracted.

Qin Zhao quickly hung up the video call and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Meanwhile, Chu Yan, after she had hung up, packed some things and left to find her.

After all, he now knew the exact address, and upon reaching the local town, it would be quick to find out where the tomb was located.

As he packed, his brows were furrowed, his narrow phoenix eyes covered with a shadow. Thinking of Qin Zhao’s arrogant demeanor just before, his gaze inevitably darkened even more.
