The Beautiful CEO’s Magical Doctor and Crazy Son-in-law

Ling Tian didn't wake up Lao Guan on impulse.

If a warrior who only has a certain realm but no corresponding strength carries someone on his back, their speed of movement will be greatly slowed down.

It was impossible for him to help, and he had to be prepared for any unexpected event that might occur at any time.

Moreover, the journey is long, so he can take the opportunity to learn more about the Qi family on the way. Obviously, Qi Zhengan, a member of the Qi family, doesn't know as much about the Qi family as Lao Guan.

On the whole, waking up Lao Guan is undoubtedly the best decision at the moment.

Lao Guan did not continue to give Qi Zhengan a cold look.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to reach for his wrist subconsciously. When he felt nothing, he knew it was too late.

If the watch is away from you for more than half an hour, the alarm will be automatically triggered.

Qi Xinjing had already received the news.

Now we can only hope that what Ling Tian said is effective.

He observed the surrounding environment and quickly determined his current location, "Is this a ruined city?"

The abandoned city is obviously a name that was given to the city after it was abandoned.

Without waiting for Ling Tian and Qi Zhengan to answer, he frowned again, "Why are you here?"

"That's what the route map you gave me showed!"

In order to prove that it was not his problem, Qi Zhengan opened the route map and showed it to him.

Lao Guan said unhappily, "The destination is in the north of the abandoned city, but when did I tell you to cross the abandoned city? Don't you know how to go around it?"

Still looking at the roadmap?

He was the one who drew the roadmap, how could he not know what it looks like?

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Qi Zhengan cried aggrievedly. How did he know that they needed to take a detour?

"Need I say that? If there was a deep abyss ahead, would you jump in directly?"

"The abyss is insurmountable..."

Lao Guan was so angry that he laughed. So you just go as long as there is a road, right?

Don't even consider whether this road is feasible?

Why did people ten thousand years ago abandon this place and would rather build the city from scratch than rebuild it here?

There must be something wrong with the abandoned city!

Of course, there is probably a purpose of keeping an eye on the monster suppressed in the abyss.

But this kind of work doesn't require so many people.

It is enough to station a small team.

Otherwise, if the monster came out, the person in the cage would have no time to react.

Not only does this place have a better geographical location, but there are also not so many monsters around, making it obviously the best choice.

"From what you said, there is danger here?"

Ling Tian was worried that if the two of them continued to argue, Lao Guan would get angry and something bad would happen, so he spoke quickly.

Lao Guan didn't answer directly, "Did you see any human remains along the way?"

"No."

Ling Tian shook his head.

Not to mention human remains, not even a single animal was seen.

"This is the problem. The prisoners want to go outside the wall, but there are people from Yongzhou City stationed outside the 'gate'. They can only take this road."

Lao Guan sighed and said, "Thousands of years have passed, and there is not a single corpse here."

"Isn't that weird enough?"

"It's impossible that they all walked out of here alive, or chose to take a detour, right?"

Qi Zhengan had just been bullied by Lao Guan, and when he heard what he said, he immediately caught the flaw and asked, "But bones can't exist in the wilderness for more than 20 years!"

"Even if someone was lucky enough to have preserved it until now, how come we happened to come across it by such a coincidence?"

What he said made sense and Lao Guan did not refute it.

It just raises the question again, "What about the traces they left when they passed by here?"

"What kind of trace can last so long?" Qi Zhengan chuckled.

Lao Guan didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards a building not far away.

Ling Tian quickly followed.

He was very curious about how Lao Guan would refute Qi Zhengan.

After tens of thousands of years, even the buildings that were not destroyed at the beginning have been severely weathered.

There is absolutely no trace of artificial polishing on the surface.

The interior of the building was overgrown with weeds. The once solid stones could not withstand the force of the sprouting grass and trees, and cracks appeared everywhere.

However, compared to the outside, the walls inside are much more intact.

Lao Guan found some carvings on one of the walls that could probably be called writing.

He turned around and looked at Qi Zhengan who was walking at the end.

Qi Zhenqian's eyelids twitched, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Maybe this was left by someone who lived here before."

"You mean, the traces left by people ten thousand years ago can be preserved, but the traces left by later generations have all disappeared?"

"..."

Qi Zhen was speechless.

Lao Guan ignored him and said with his hands in his pockets, "Someone once brought back a biography from the prison cage. It recorded a story about finding the 'road outside the wall.'"

"Among these people, there is an unwritten rule - those who successfully reach the starting point of the road must leave their names there."

“It’s not to make people remember it, but to tell those who come after us how many people have been there.”

“Someone has sorted it out.”

"Among those countless names, not a single one has ever passed through the abandoned city."

Qi Zhengan seemed to be shocked and lowered his head without saying anything.

Ling Tian asked: "Then how did they determine who took which route?"

"At the entrance to the abandoned city, there is also something with a name engraved on it, perhaps a stone tablet or a stone wall."

"One of them records the names of people who took a detour, and the other records the names of people who crossed the abandoned city."

Lao Guan said slowly: "As long as we compare them, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion."

Ling Tian recalled and didn't remember seeing such a thing.

After he expressed his doubts, Lao Guan frowned and thought for a while, "Maybe you didn't notice it, or maybe it was destroyed by someone."

Ling Tian shook his head slightly.

This explanation is too far-fetched.

"No matter what, there is definitely danger in the abandoned city. You are just lucky that you haven't encountered it yet."

Lao Guan made the final decision.

Ling Tian did not refute him again.

Regardless of whether Lao Guan’s guess is right or not, we just need to be more careful next time.

Qi Zhengan hasn't recovered yet, but considering that what Lao Guan said might happen, Ling Tian decided to set off early.

At worst, just walk slower.

Food and water were transferred from Qi Zhengan to Lao Guan.

Lao Guan is one realm lower than Qi Zhenqian, but he has truly entered the Dao realm. Moreover, he does not need to carry anyone on his back, so he is not slow at all when he walks.

Ling Tian suddenly felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I should have woken up Lao Guan before entering the abandoned city.

Maybe they have successfully passed through now.

"stop!"

Lao Guan, who had been walking in front to explore the way, suddenly stopped and looked around with his eyes narrowed.

Ling Tian rushed over and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

"Something is watching us."

As Lao Guan spoke, he took out a round disc from his arms and explained casually: "This is an alarm I made myself. If a monster approaches within a hundred meters of us, it will emit a slight vibration."

Now the alarm was vibrating in his hand, the amplitude was very small, but it was visible.
