Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3

Upon entering the First-Class Tomb, Hong Fei found the traps and mechanisms to be rather unremarkable, not as dangerous as the Tang Clan's secret chamber. She easily evaded them and arrived at the treasure room. The moment the door opened, Hong Fei was speechless with astonishment. Please forgive Hong Fei for being a country bumpkin; she had never seen so much gold and silver piled up together before. (This doesn't count if it's something seen in a game.)

The entire treasure room was overflowing with gold, jewelry, jade, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings—a dazzling array that filled more than half the room. My God, we've struck it rich!

Hongfei ran inside, touching and looking at everything, her eyes unable to see anything else. She lay among the pile of jewels, laughing like a fool.

Hongfei picked up the jewelry and was about to stuff it into her backpack when she suddenly stopped. She looked at the jewelry in her hand, then at the pieces on the ground, and then at the place she had entered from. Hongfei fell silent. If she took these things, wouldn't she be considered a tomb raider? All this jewelry and gold was burial goods. Wouldn't taking it make her a tomb raider?

Hongfei was conflicted, picking up and putting down the jewels in her hands repeatedly. It was as if two people were arguing in her mind, one saying, "These jewels are here, and that's it. If you take them, they're yours. Nobody will know anyway."

Another person said, "How could you take these things? You're supposed to be a good citizen of the new era. What about your values ​​and moral compass? You should know that tomb raiding is illegal. Once you take these things, you become a tomb raider."

The man then said, "What tomb raider? You just took some things that no one else knows about. As long as no one knows about the unclaimed items, who would call you a tomb raider?"

Another person said, "Others may not know, but you know it yourself. Grave robbing is grave robbing. Once you take these things, there's no going back. You're a grave robber. Did the books you read, your teachers, and your country teach you to be a thief? Are your values ​​even right?"

Hongfei felt like her head was about to explode. On one side were countless gold and silver beads, and on the other side were the life lessons and values ​​she had received since childhood. Hongfei didn't know what to do.

Hong Fei couldn't give up so much gold and silver jewelry. But she also couldn't cross her own moral boundaries or her own values ​​to become a tomb raider.

Hongfei stared blankly at the gold and jewels, staring and staring. She seemed oblivious to the passage of time, gazing for a very long time. Outside, darkness fell, then light returned. Hongfei finally moved. Reluctantly, she put down the jewels she held. Dragging her heavy steps, she slowly walked out of the treasure room, turning back every few steps. Hongfei left the treasure room and closed the door. She slowly squatted down, hugging her knees. She wept bitterly, sobbing, "My jewels, my treasure!"

Hongfei cried her heart out, sobbing for a long time until her eyes were swollen. Gradually, Hongfei's crying subsided. She stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and strode back the way she came without looking back.

Hongfei was torn between gold and silver jewelry and upholding her moral principles. She chose to uphold her principles, refusing to become someone who had no moral compass for money.

Hong Fei didn't take the treasure, though it pained her deeply. But she felt it was worth it, because if she crossed the line today for money and became a tomb raider, one day she might abandon her principles for something else as well. Then she might be doomed. Because can a person without principles still be called human?

Hongfei walked for a while and came to a mechanism door in front of the First-Class Tomb. She stood there for a while, muttering to herself, "A gentleman loves money, but he earns it in a proper way. Hongfei, you're not short of money, but you have principles. You absolutely cannot become a tomb raider." Waaah~ My precious money!!

Hongfei didn't stand there for long before pushing open the mechanism door and walking inside. The door closed automatically after Hongfei passed through.

Behind the mechanism door was a tomb passage, and surprisingly, oil lamps were lit inside. Strange, wasn't it? Hong Fei walked forward a short distance and came to what resembled a tomb chamber. But this tomb chamber was strange; there were signs of human habitation. Hong Fei stood inside, examining the chamber, when she heard footsteps coming from the tomb passage outside. Although very faint, they were definitely footsteps.

Hong Fei swallowed hard. Could it be a zombie coming back to life? Hong Fei warily watched the tomb entrance, holding two swords in her hands, looking ready to fight at any moment.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and a figure dressed in white with long hair appeared at the entrance of the tomb.

Hongfei's eyes widened, and a scream escaped her lips: "A ghost!!" She covered her head with her hands and closed her eyes.

The scream clearly startled the figure at the door. A loud shout rang out, "What the hell?" Then, seeing only the small child Hongfei, he demanded sharply, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Hearing the question, Hongfei cautiously opened one eye and looked towards the doorway. She discovered it wasn't a ghost at all, but a person—a woman with long hair and dressed in white. Hongfei let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It wasn't a ghost, it was a person! You scared me to death!"

Then he asked the person at the door, "Who are you? What are you doing in the grave?"

"I should be asking you who you are! What are you doing in my house?" the woman in white asked.

“Me? My name is Hong Fei. I heard about Yi Pin Fen and was curious, so I came to take a look. What do you mean, ‘your home’? You live in Yi Pin Fen?” Hong Fei said.

"What first-class tomb? I don't know what you're talking about. This is an ancient tomb, not some first-class tomb. You've come to the wrong place. And how did you get in?" the woman in white asked again.

"What ancient tomb? I just entered the First-Class Tomb. But calling the First-Class Tomb an ancient tomb is not unreasonable," Hong Fei said to the woman.

"But who are you? Why are you living in a grave?" Hong Fei asked again.

"My name is Li Mochou. This is the ancient tomb. What 'First-Class Tomb'? I've never even heard of it," said the woman in white, who was Li Mochou.

This time, it was Hong Fei's turn to be dumbfounded. "Li Mochou! The Ancient Tomb!" Isn't that someone from *The Return of the Condor Heroes*? But this Li Mochou is so young; the age doesn't match. Hong Fei looked at Li Mochou carefully and found that she looked only in her teens. Hong Fei had a bold guess: could she have traveled to the world of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*?

Hongfei felt she should ask herself what time she was in.
