I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

Jieyuhua had long noticed Wuxie's strangeness, but she didn't know what he was really up to.

It was still raining, and the aroma of aged tangerine peel tea swirled in the damp air. Jieyuhua tapped the celadon cup with his fingertips. As his fair fingertip brushed the rim of the cup, Wuxie's pupils suddenly contracted. His right little finger curled up in a barely perceptible arc, like a puppet being pulled by silk threads.

"New tea sent by Third Uncle?" Xie Yuhua suddenly looked up, the amber tea reflecting a golden glow in his eyes. Wu Xie's Adam's apple bobbed, and the vermilion powder hidden in his sleeve seeped into his palm, turning a dark red. Just now, in the instant he handed over the tea set, he clearly flicked the powder into the third celadon cup in his left hand.

"Try it." Wu Xie smiled and pushed the teacup on his left, the watch face reflecting the room's light. Xie Yuhua suddenly reached out and pressed down on the glaring watch face, the cold metal sending a chill down Wu Xie's spine. Xie Yuhua simply smiled and reminded him, "The strap is loose."

Wu Xie then lowered his head shyly to adjust the watch buckle, and when he looked up again, he noticed that the teacup had been moved to his right.

The rain suddenly intensified, and the curtain of water falling from the eaves splashed against the bluestone slabs with a continuous, shattering sound. Jieyuhua tapped her index finger lightly on the table, three short taps followed by two long ones, like some ancient code, which startled Wuxie so much that cold sweat trickled down his spine from the back of his neck.

Jieyuhua took a sip and put the tea down, saying, "This tea is too bitter." Then she thought of how aged tangerine peel tea should be brewed with water from Hupao Spring. Ling Xiao seemed to know a lot about this, and had even bought a set of Ru kiln teaware for it. She looked down at the difference and realized that it was also Ru kiln, but the workmanship was obviously much worse.

He pushed the teacup onto the center of the table, the celadon base scraping against the rosewood surface with a grating creak. Even Wu Xie's left hand, hidden under the table, trembled slightly as he reached for the dagger at his waist.

The tea, dipped in the pinky finger by Jieyuhua, meandered through the sandalwood grain, the watermarks revealing a strange indigo hue.

"Do you know about puppet strings?" Jieyu Huaran asked, but Wuxie just shook his head.

Seeing Wu Xie shake his head, he also showed a disappointed look, but still explained: "I heard that there is a method in Miao territory. As long as you make a puppet string, you can find the person you want to find and bring them back. But the Miao people say that this method is only in the hands of some tomb raiders."

"I'm not... completely..." Wu Xie wanted to say something to himself, but felt it was pointless. Since the conversation had already gone this far, he could only pretend to be curious and ask, "What do you need?"

Jieyuhua glanced at him before slowly saying, "The hexagonal copper bell, the crested snake, and the blood of the forbidden woman."

Wu Xie knew something was wrong; this was clearly aimed at him. He immediately drew his dagger, preparing to strike Xie Yuhua unexpectedly.

Unexpectedly, Jieyuhua was prepared and simply pushed her chair back, causing Wuxie to miss and fall onto the table.

The Ru ware pieces on the table were all smashed on the ground, making a series of crisp, crackling sounds that were quite melodious.

"You want to kill me?" Xie Yuhua seemed to have a hard time understanding Wu Xie's behavior. He couldn't figure out Wu Xie's motive, but then Wu Xie said something that made him suddenly understand.

"You imposter, hand over Xiaohua right now!" Wu Xie's face was full of anger. Because he had just bumped into the table, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, but he endured it and gripped the dagger tightly with his other hand, swinging it fiercely at the person in front of him twice.
