Chapter 854: Going into the Tomb

Xie Qiao stuffed the thing at the bottom of the bamboo basket and glanced at it from time to time.

Under her serious gaze, Zhao Xuanjing could guess that this piece of rotten wood must be of high value.

“Senior Sister, have you been to hell?” Zhao Xuanjing was even more curious about what she said.

Xie Qiao shook her head. “No.”

With her body, she might not be able to return from hell. That kind of place was very mysterious. If it was not for the ghoul, it would be impossible to enter without an item of extreme dark energy.

There were many uses for this reishi mushroom.

Zhao Xuanjing was not interested in hell. He would know what that place was like after he died. He was not in a hurry.

“Senior Sister, have you had some free time lately?” Zhao Xuanjing changed the topic and asked.

Xie Qiao looked at him suspiciously. Zhao Xuanjing said, “Teacher is in Mengjiabao now. He sent a message saying that he can’t leave. I thought if Senior Sister is free, we should go to pick him up and return to the capital.”

“When did you become so respectful to him?” Xie Qiao looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Xuanjing did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Xie Qiao knew that her words were not pleasant to hear, so she immediately changed her tone and said, “Teacher sent me a message in the past, saying that you… didn’t practise the scriptures and didn’t listen to his teaching. You relied on your own comprehension to study and learn. You weren’t as obedient and serious as Junior Brother Xiao.”

The old master’s initial words were that the Crown Prince had a noble status, so it was very difficult to teach him!

He said that he was already very sensible when he became his teacher and was not as easy to cajole as a child. His character was very serious and was far inferior to her, the eldest senior sister!

Teacher said that if he had known that he was so serious and boring, he would not have been attracted to his appearance in the first place. It was too much of a loss to take him in as a disciple…

He did not know how much his teacher had suffered at that time. Even the few pages of paper that he had written were all terrible things about Zhao Xuanjing!

“After I became his disciple, because I was the Crown Prince, he had no choice but to stay in the palace for a while. He was restricted by the rules everywhere, so it was inevitable that he was in a bad mood,” Zhao Xuanjing explained.

Even though he moved out of the palace and went to the Royal Academy, he was surrounded by many officials and guards of the East Palace. His teacher had to pay attention to the appearance of the headmaster of the academy at all times, so he felt…

Very uncomfortable.

“What is teacher doing in Mengjiaobao? Did something important delay him until now?” Xie Qiao only knew the location of Mengjiaobao. It was not too far from the capital, but she did not know much else.

“There was not much written in the letter. It was just that he couldn’t leave. In addition, he asked me to send a few guards over. So something out of the ordinary must have happened,” Zhao Xuanjing added.

It had been quite a while since the old master sent the letter back.

Logically speaking, he should have arrived a long time ago.

However, he had been delayed in Mengjiabao. He was worried that something unexpected would happen.

Xie Qiao was still respectful to her teacher. She nodded without hesitation. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Not long after Xie Qiao finished speaking, Xie Pinggang and the others had indeed found something from the digging.

It was actually a tomb entrance. Under such circumstances, they could only go in and take a look.

“This tomb shouldn’t be too big. Its size shouldn’t exceed the positions of these five aggregate trees.” After Xie Qiao said that, Xie Pinggang took the lead and led the others down.

Zhao Xuanjing was about to go in, but Zhou Weizong looked at him with a bitter expression.

“Your Highness, you should wait up there, right?” It was not safe down there!

“Since Senior Sister has already said this is the range of the tomb, then this place should be just an ordinary tomb. Why can’t I go in?” Zhao Xuanjing insisted..
