The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 376 - 374: Who Else Could it Be Other Than That Little Vixen, Chu Yan?

Chapter 376: Chapter 374: Who Else Could it Be Other Than That Little Vixen, Chu Yan?

Qin Zhao had received an urgent message last night. Shangguan Qiu called her for help, so she made a trip to Chiang Mai, since traveling there by Sword Control was quite convenient.

In Northwest China, an Emperor’s Ancient Tomb had been discovered, unearthing a very powerful Ancient Sword.

Tomb Robbers had initially discovered the tomb and had sold many of the artifacts abroad.

The relevant authorities had been investigating this matter, in the hopes of retrieving the artifacts that had ended up overseas. They discovered that the artifacts were mainly located in country T, so they conducted numerous investigations there.

During the investigation, however, they encountered many bizarre and strange incidents, which even led to some deaths.

The relevant departments contacted Shangguan Jing, who was busy with other matters, so he had Shangguan Qiu check on the situation in Chiang Mai, but even Shangguan Qiu found that he might not be able to resolve it.

They had pinpointed the region where the artifacts were located, but they dared not venture in rashly.

Because those who had previously entered to investigate had all disappeared.

Or rather, they were dead, and their corpses were completely gone!

Shangguan Qiu had already briefed Qin Zhao on the situation, and they were currently in a meeting, discussing how to approach that place.

The location was deep in the mountains on the outskirts of Chiang Mai.

Qin Zhao had explored the area that morning; the mountains were shrouded in a heavy mist and powerful yin energy. Her Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the dense gray fog to see the specific conditions inside.

The local populace was not very devout towards gods, preferring instead to make deals with spirits and ghosts. Hence, many nefarious practices abounded, and Qin Zhao did not venture in recklessly.

"They send out a big bus at regular intervals. It seems like they are conducting business, taking tourists to other places in Chiang Mai, but actually, they bring the tourists back to the mountains.

And the tourists they choose are mostly foreigners. That’s why when these people suddenly disappear, no one can trace it back to them.

We had team members pose as tourists and board the bus while we followed behind in a car. But we didn’t follow for long, as our car suddenly flipped over halfway up the mountain.

We never made contact with our team members thereafter, nor could we find a way into the mountains. It was only when the bus came out of the mountains again that we saw only the driver and the ticket seller on board; the tourists had vanished."

"So you never went inside there?"

"Right, we couldn’t get in."

"Then how do you know the artifacts are there?"

Qin Zhao expressed her doubts.

Shangguan Qiu responded, "The bus driver sold an artifact in an antique shop, which happened to be one of the items unearthed from that tomb. That’s how they traced back and found out about these matters.

They wanted to use force to make the bus driver reveal more about the artifacts, but he was very wary, and they couldn’t catch him."

"The international police couldn’t catch him?"

Hearing Qin Zhao’s words, a few policemen present felt a bit embarrassed.

"It’s not their fault," Shangguan Qiu said, "I detected fluctuations of Spiritual Power on the driver, he probably knows some kind of strange witchcraft, certainly no Mortal could handle him."

Qin Zhao nodded, "In that case, we might as well take a ride on the bus. They’ll lead us in themselves, and we’ll naturally find out what’s inside."

"It could be very dangerous."

Someone worriedly said, "The tourists who went in the bus before never came out alive, including our team members.

Moreover, the mountain range that the bus passes through has a weird magnetic field. Without the bus leading the way, we can’t find our way around; one time, we almost drove off a cliff."

"I’m well aware, isn’t that why you called me here, to handle all these potential dangers?"

They discussed the plan a bit more before each went back to their hotel rooms.

Qin Zhao glanced at her phone and saw a flood of messages had popped up.

Who else could it be but Chu Yan, that little "sprite"?

Chu Bailian: Wife, wife

Chu Bailian: Where are you in Chiang Mai?

Chu Bailian: What are you doing in Chiang Mai?

Chu Bailian: Who are you with? Is there any man with you!

Chu Bailian: o(▼皿▼メ;)o

Qin Zhao: They are all males.

Chu Bailian: [Smile]

Chu Bailian: [I’m going to tear you guys apart.jpg]

Qin Zhao: Just kidding. I’m with Shangguan Qiu.

Qin Zhao: They stumbled into a bit of trouble, and I need to help them solve it.

Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he thought about how he was almost dying, yet Qin Zhao wasn’t by his side.

Would he even be able to see her one last time?

The more Chu Yan thought about it, the sadder he became, and the more he regretted not making up with her yesterday.

Chu Bailian: When can you come back? [Sad]

Qin Zhao: I don’t know.

Chu Bailian: Can I come to find you?

Qin Zhao: Aren’t you quite busy with work recently?

Chu Yan thought to himself, his body was practically half in the grave; what else was there to be busy about?

And with his diagnostic results not yet out, he didn’t dare see patients or perform surgeries.

Chu Yan was about to reply to Qin Zhao when Ling Yi’s call came through.

"Boss, your blood analysis is back. There is no HIV virus for now, but it will take another two to three months to be completely certain. As for other aspects, your blood appears to be better than the last checkup, with strong cell activity and no other potential diseases found."

Ling Yi thought of his colleague in the lab, who was thrilled and excited after seeing this blood report, saying they had never seen such good blood and wanted to draw a few more tubes for research.

"I think you should relax a bit recently and not think too much."

This call indeed comforted Chu Yan a bit.

Initially, Chu Yan thought that besides possibly contracting HIV, he might have contracted some other complicated diseases. Otherwise, why would his body expel so much filth?

"Boss, you can take this time to relax and walk around more outside."

Chu Yan coldly responded and hung up the phone.

Inside, however, he was delighted and promptly booked a flight to Chiang Mai.

Qin Zhao didn’t know about this yet. After finishing her chat with Chu Yan, she went downstairs to the hotel’s restaurant to eat.

Just as she entered the restaurant, she encountered someone disagreeable.

"Hmph."

Murong Qi saw Qin Zhao and scoffed.

She wore traditional attire from Thailand, accompanied by a handsome man. This handsome man was naturally not Shen Xihhe, as she and Shen Xihhe had already called off their engagement.

When Murong Qi found out, she felt it was very sudden and hard to accept.

As a daughter of the Murong Family, who was accustomed to being pampered from a young age, she was now dumped twice.

This was a severe blow for her.

She thought about her wealthy family background and how she could find any man she wanted.

So after flying to Chiang Mai for a vacation, she immediately picked up a local hunk in a bar.

Though Murong Qi and Shen Xihhe were no longer connected, her hostility towards Qin Zhao hadn’t diminished at all as she sneered and said, "It’s really unlucky, bumping into you wherever I go."

"That line suits you better."

Qin Zhao shrugged her shoulders and moved a bit away from her.

Under the Qi Observation Skill, a dark yin cloud enveloped Murong Qi’s entire body, with crimson lightning flashing suddenly, obstructing Qin Zhao’s view and making it hard to see the faces of Murong Qi and her new boyfriend.
