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

"I..." Wu Xie's throat was as dry as sandpaper, his voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz. A thought raced through his chaotic mind like a runaway horse: Speak up! Lay out the truth about Chen Yunjin's notes! Rather than being exposed in that eerie place of Golmud, or being forced to reveal himself in unpredictable danger, it's better to confess now! At least... at least Xiao Ge is here, maybe... maybe he can understand?

When he spoke, A Ning immediately looked at him. Her sharp, hawk-like gaze remained fixed on Wu Xie's pale, anxious face. His lost and hesitant demeanor was, in her eyes, a living sign that read, "I have a major secret."

“Wu Xie,” A Ning’s voice was not loud, but it was like a needle chilled to the bone, carrying a cold hardness that pierced through all pretense, “You seem to have something to say?”

These words were the final straw that broke the camel's back. Wu Xie abruptly raised his head, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his eyes darting frantically between A Ning, Xiao Ge, and Hei Xiazi. Xiao Ge's gaze fell on him again, still calm and unwavering.

"I...I..." Wu Xie's lips trembled violently, his throat felt like it was blocked by scalding sand, each attempt to utter a tearing pain. His fingers unconsciously curled, gripping the fabric of his trousers tightly on the outside of his thighs, his knuckles turning white from the force. "I have..."

"—Miss Aning!" Hei Xiazi's exaggeratedly enthusiastic voice boomed like a thunderclap from a clear sky, abruptly cutting off Wu Xie's impending confession. He strode forward like a gust of wind, this time not blocking their view, but squeezing directly between Wu Xie and Aning, his movements so fast they almost created a gust of wind.

His face was plastered with a cynical smile, and one hand slammed down heavily on Wu Xie's tense back with an effortless, undeniable force. The slap was so powerful that Wu Xie staggered, almost choking, and the surging impulse to confess within him was instantly and physically suppressed, leaving only violent coughing and a feeling of suffocation.

"Oh dear, look at my apprentice!" Black Bear ignored Wu Xie's appearance, his voice so loud it drowned out all the subtle noises. He pointed at Wu Xie's face, which was flushed from choking and coughing, and shook his head solemnly at A Ning. "Miss A Ning, look at how scared Golmud is! Look at his pale face, like it's been plastered on a wall, and he's sweating buckets! He's more timid than a quail. He was terrified just hearing about Golmud. You can tell how much trauma he's suffered. He's just recovered from his illness, and if he scares us again, what kind of mental anguish do we feel..." Black Bear twirled his fingers a few times.

Ah Ning snorted coldly, turned around, then seemed to remember something and turned back, holding up two fingers and saying, "If you can get Ling Xiao to come along, I'll pay double."

"Really! Oh my, foreigners are different, Miss Aning. Have you taken a fancy to my brother? If you need anything, just say so. My brother is good-looking. If you need anything, just say so. Tonight, I'll tie him to your bed even if I have to..." Seeing that Hei Xiazi was about to speak without restraint, the fat man quickly covered his mouth.

Ah Ning's brows furrowed completely. Hei Xiazi's skill in joking and arguing was simply masterful. Her sharp gaze was almost tangible, trying to pierce through Hei Xiazi's playful facade and uncover his true intentions behind his sunglasses.

She didn't want him to know what Wu Xie had seen in Golmud, but she was determined to find out.

Her gaze swept over Wu Xie, watching him cough violently, clutching his knees, his face turning from deathly pale to an unnatural flush, his body trembling slightly, all because of the black bear's earlier slap. She smiled.

She was determined to go to Golmud; the mystery surrounding Wu Xie would naturally be revealed there. There was no need to waste time here now.

"Hmph." She let out a cold sneer, a laugh filled with disdain for Wu Xie's cowardly behavior and a clear understanding and warning of Hei Xiazi's meddling. "Since Master Hei is so enthusiastic, then prepare the itinerary. We'll set off in three days, and we can discuss the details then. It would be best if Ling Xiao could come along, as for him..." Her icy gaze finally swept over the still coughing Wu Xie, as if he were a useless burden, "...just don't hold us back."

After saying that, she stopped looking at anyone, turned around, and walked straight to the SUV with a brisk and powerful gait. She opened the door and got into the driver's seat, her movements decisive and swift, carrying an unquestionable resolve.
