Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 195: Protection of the Golden Turtle

Yi Bing walked over with a dark expression upon seeing that the two were still whispering to each other. “Alright, get a move on, or else Boss is going to be mad!”

Yi Bing was their leader with the strength to back it up, and the duo immediately stood up straight and nodded seriously.

After the three of them fell in, Yi Bing suddenly turned his head around and looked at Jiu Tong with an incredibly serious stare. “Did you see Miss Gu?”

“Yes, I did.” Jiu Tong replied with an expression of awe. “She was even scarier than you described her to be!”

Jiu Bing breathed deeply, suppressing his curiosity and making a mental note to ask Jiu Tong about it later.

Yi Bing was part of the ‘Yi Generation’ under Jiang Shuxuan, and every one of them was taught by Jiang Shuxuan himself. This was the first time he saw such an expression on Yi Bing’s face, so he was even more curious about the mysterious Miss Gu.

They quickly got to the site where the incident occurred—A deep cave by the borders of the ancient martial arts world and the secular world.

A few days ago, there were reports that living beings in a hundred-mile radius died off for no reason, and as the Special Defense Force, they quickly decided to evacuate everyone who lived in the area. Under closer inspection, they came across the mysterious black cube.

“It’s only been a few years, but your gadgets have improved!” Murong Feiye commented as he looked at Yi Bing’s detection device that had a vague, gray glow.

Yi Bing knew who Murong Feiye was, and he replied, “Technology is improving with the times after all, but this device was actually left behind from the old days. Young Master Murong has always been abroad, so you wouldn’t know.”

This item was actually modified from an old magic compass, and it acted like a radar of sorts that detected changes in magnetic fields in an area.

Right now at the spot they were at, not only were the magnetic fields a mess, but also the natural chi and evil aura too. Of course, the primitive item couldn’t detect all of it, so Yi Bing mused internally about how useful an item that could detect all that would be.

Yi Bing sighed, knowing that it was wishful thinking on his part. Such changes in the evil aura of an area were rare even in the ancient martial arts world, so it would be difficult and unpractical to create such an apparatus.

Murong Feiye, after hearing his words:…As expected of Jiang Shuxuan’s underling, not being curt with him in the least.

Hmph, he’d do better to go see Jiang Shuxuan instead!

Jiang Shuxuan was standing at the entrance of the cave, his dark orbs staring straight into the endless darkness as his trench coat fluttered in the ominous breeze that blew out of it.

“So this is the number-one mission that no one dares to claim on the forums?” Murong Feiye stood beside him and stared into the mysterious cave too, and only after a second, he could feel his mind going numb as goosebumps popped out on his arms.

???

Murong Feiye turned around and stared at Jiang Shuxuan aghast. He couldn’t even stare at it for a few seconds, but the other had been staring at it for a long time even before he got here!

Jiang Shuxuan turned around and touched the jade pendant hanging from his neck, feeling a gentle warmth originating from the accessory and blocking most of the mental pressure that came from the cave. He was quite shocked too, but it wasn’t time to think about that.
