"Liu Jiawei, it's one thing to almost get me killed, but as the captain, you didn't even offer an apology!"
"Do you still have the face to stop me?"
Upon hearing my words, Li Xiang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Yet he still did not step aside.
Standing behind him, Lu Lin scoffed and said sarcastically, "Come on, as if that's true."
"Aren't you still alive? What are you pretending to be pitiful for?"
"Besides, if you were really strong, how could you be scared by a female ghost?"
"I see, you're just a useless waste!"
"Waste, just hurry up and get lost!"
"You!" I was so angry that my whole body trembled, wishing I could slap Lu Lin across the face.
But before I could make a move, Yi Yan walked over.
She coldly looked at Lu Lin and said slowly, "Since you look down on Yifan, then we won't cooperate with you."
"Yifan, let's go."
After saying that, she grabbed my hand and was about to leave.
But Chen Sheng panicked: "Hey hey hey, don't go, let's talk this out."
"Xiao Chen, hurry up and apologize to Yifan."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiawei hesitated: "Brother Sheng, I..."
"Apologize quickly!" Chen Sheng shouted.
Seeing that Chen Sheng was really angry, Liu Jiawei reluctantly apologized to me.
"I'm sorry."
Although I was angry, I knew it wasn't the time to hold a grudge.
After all, we still needed Chen Sheng and the others' help to enter the ancient tomb.
But I still didn't want to forgive Liu Jiawei easily.
Just as I was about to refuse, Yi Yan stopped me.
"Yifan, that's enough."
Saying this, she pulled me aside.
Seeing that I had calmed down, Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's leave here quickly tonight."
"The female ghost might come back at any moment."
"If she targets us again, it will be troublesome."
Li Xiang and the others nodded in agreement.
So, we left the guesthouse that night.
That evening, I fell asleep still feeling angry.
In my dreams, I repeatedly dismembered Liu Jiawei...
The next day, we got up early.
We continued our journey towards the Red River Valley by car.
However, due to what happened last night, the atmosphere in the vehicle was quite gloomy.
Everyone was well aware that the conflict from last night had created a rift within our team.
It wouldn't be long before we went our separate ways.
Liu Jiawei had been brooding ever since he was forced to apologize to me yesterday.
He glanced at me several times, his eyes filled with resentment.
But I wasn't afraid at all.
I was just young and impulsive.
Not satisfied?
Suck it up!
I glared back at him fiercely.
As long as Liu Jiawei dared to lay a hand on me, I would make him pay a heavy price.
So we sat in the car for two hours, finally entering the territory of the Red River Valley.
The scenery outside changed rapidly.
Thinking about how I would soon see Uncle made me push my anger aside.
We followed the plan, bypassing the scenic area and passing through sparsely populated regions.
A towering mountain appeared before us.
Chen Sheng held the compass and looked at the towering mountain before him, nodding repeatedly.
"This is indeed a good place."
It turned out that his grandfather had sent him out to find an ancient tomb.
The compass in Chen Sheng's hand was the key to locating the tomb.
The mountain ahead was the site with the best feng shui.
If Chen Sheng's grandfather hadn't deceived him, then Uncle was somewhere in this mountain.
Chen Sheng turned to me and smiled, asking, "Yifan, which direction do you think we should go?"
He was trying to ease the awkwardness from last night.
But I knew nothing about feng shui.
I could only shake my head. "I don't understand this."
Chen Sheng's smile froze on his face.
He sighed and suggested we rest for a while, eating and drinking enough before heading into the mountains.
Half an hour later, we were ready.
Each of us took a machete and ventured into the deep mountains.
The journey was slow.
Although I had good stamina, my arms felt like they were about to break from swinging the machete.
I thought Yi Yan would struggle, but she only had a bit of sweat on her face and wasn't even breathing heavily.
I couldn't help but admire her; no wonder she was Uncle's assistant—her endurance was truly remarkable.
By noon, we had reached halfway up the mountain.
The view here was expansive, making it ideal for using a compass to locate auspicious sites.
Chen Sheng stood at a high point, using the compass to find a feng shui spot.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly, "I found it!"
"I found it!"
We perked up and hurried toward Chen Sheng's direction.
"Where is it?" I asked impatiently.
Chen Sheng extended his hand and pointed not far away, "Over there!"
We followed Chen Sheng's finger.
There was a hollow in the mountain.
The stone walls of the hollow were covered with shrubs.
Behind the shrubs was a dark cave.
That was the entrance to the tomb!
Seeing this scene, we were all extremely excited.
With renewed energy, we rushed over.
