Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

When Li Cu casually mentioned that Ling Yue was carrying a stone, Wu Xie's mind was still focused on Ling Yue's casual grab and kick earlier, so she didn't notice and just nudged Li Cu: "Don't you know that a girl's weight is a secret? Why bring it up! Just wait and see how your sister Ling deals with you!"

Li Cu also remembered the stupid thing she had just done, and was so scared that she couldn't lift her feet. She quickly grabbed Wu Xie's arm: "Is she really angry? Is she really going to beat me up later? No way! She almost punched a hole in the chin of that big guy Lao Mai in just a few swift blows. If it were me, I would have punched him to death seven days later!"

Wu Xie responded with a merciless sneer: "Now you know? Let's go. From now on, think before you speak and act!"

Li Cu's lips and eyes drooped.

As you pass through the passageway and step into the tomb, a refreshing coolness instantly washes over you.

"It's so cold in here!"

"I know! This must be the legendary Qingliang Palace, which the royal family used specifically to escape the summer heat."

"Radish? Quick, quick, we have to film all of these! With this footage, we'll be winning awards left and right!"

The gasps and cheers of the crowd instantly enlivened the underground palace that had been empty for countless years.

Because of Ling Yue's move just now, Su Nan and her subordinates felt a subtle fear and hatred towards Ling Yue—their eyes were filled with the urge to kill her, but none of them dared to make a move.

Even the oblivious Li Cu noticed that after the initial excitement of entering the underground palace, worry followed.

He secretly pulled Ling Yue aside and whispered, "Sister Ling, be careful, Ye Xiao and the others are looking at you strangely."

Ling Yue nodded to indicate that she understood, and looked around, noticing a beaded curtain made of unidentified vermilion beads. She turned and headed towards the curtain.

Li Cu lifted her foot to follow, but Wu Xie grabbed her by the neck and dragged her back: "What? You've taken a liking to her? You want a relationship with a younger man? Can't you see she doesn't want to talk to you right now?"

Li Cu blushed and stammered, "How could you be like this! Just talking to someone normally, and you think you've fallen for them? You're so disgusting!"

Wu Xie smiled and said, "So, you look down on her?"

He deliberately created some distance and looked Li Cu up and down: "Unbelievable! You can't even be interested in such a beautiful girl? You're out of your mind!"

Annoyed, Li Cu bent over and shrank back, pulling away from Wu Xie's hand on her shoulder. She shone her flashlight toward the noisy crowd and gave Wu Xie a cool comment: "Boring!"

Wu Xie chuckled, hands on her hips, then turned back to look at Ling Yue, who was standing behind the beaded curtain in front of a wall, carefully examining it.

Ling Yue's skills made him feel vaguely worried.

He had originally thought that Black Bear would be there, but now it seems that Black Bear could kick a dagger into a stone wall with just a light kick, and his control over the force and angle was terrifyingly precise.

Wu Xie now doubts whether Hei Xiazi can defeat her.

This sudden accident seems easy to understand, yet it's difficult to understand in many ways.

She currently shows no interest in Gutongjing, or even the treasures within it.

However, after coming down and reading the inscription on the Yuezhi stele, her attitude changed drastically.

Wu Xie didn't know whether this change was good or bad for him.

Shaking his head, Wu Xie walked to the side and took out the matches that Su Nan and the others had rejected earlier. He lit one and flicked it lightly into a nearby lighting ditch, instantly igniting the oil inside.

A fire dragon ignited around half of the underground palace, instantly illuminating the entire underground palace.

Wow! This is absolutely spectacular!

"Awesome! So awesome!"

"Hahaha, Caitou, did you film that scene just now?"

"Clap it."

……

Ling Yue glanced back at Wu Xie, watching the smile on his face flicker and change in the swaying firelight.

He seemed to be observing everyone in the group.

So who is he looking for? His enemy?

Is his enemy very good at disguise?

The fact that he could develop such an ingrained habit of constantly being suspicious of everyone around him suggests that his enemies must be incredibly skilled at disguise, and could very well have replaced his familiar and close friends and family members countless times without him even realizing it.

When Ling Yue saw Wu Xie's scrutinizing and suspicious eyes, the first person he thought of was Lone Wolf.

Moreover, it was a lone wolf that had just lost the protection of its pack and had suffered multiple injuries.

They are aggressive towards everything around them, emotionally unstable, and their personality may even be extreme.

It appears fierce, but is actually fragile.

It looks like it would shatter at the slightest touch.

In front of the treasure chest in the middle of the palace, Zeng Ye and Lao Mai and others had a conflict.

Ling Yue watched from a distance for a moment, and seeing that Director Wang had persuaded Master Zeng to stop, he turned his gaze back to continue searching for clues in these things.

Unfortunately, these things are all very ordinary. Although they have a simple and rustic design, they lack the extravagance that royalty should have.

It is evident that this underground palace had been cleared out many times before it was abandoned, leaving behind only large stone objects that were neither movable nor valuable.

Just as Ling Yue was squatting in the corner examining the auspicious cloud carvings under the throne, Su Nan and Wu Xie walked over.

Su Nan lingered next to Ling Yue for a moment, then tentatively squatted down beside her, pointing at the stone carving as well: "Miss Ling, did you find anything?"

Ling Yue knew she was there to test him, so he replied "No," got up, and walked along the wall to another place.

Su Nan casually followed beside her, "Miss Ling, with your skills, why did you ever think of becoming a narrator in an unknown small film crew?"

Ling Yue remained silent and examined the area on his own.

Su Nan sensed her coldness, frowned, and tried again to win her over: "Miss Ling, would you be interested in joining us? We have the resources, the pay is generous, and we have a lot of freedom when we're not on missions..."

Ling Yue finally turned his head, his cold eyes carrying an inexplicable solemnity: "I am not the same kind of person as you."

It's unclear whether she was speaking to Su Nan or to herself.

Or perhaps, it was meant for Wuxie, who was secretly eavesdropping from a distance the whole time.

Su Nan stared at her with her dark eyes, while Ling Yue's gaze remained unwavering.

Su Nan nodded: "Alright, but I just hope that Miss Ling will be a little more polite to us when using the supplies provided by Boss Ma."

Ling Yue responded frankly: "If there were no supplies, it wouldn't be a dagger embedded in the wall."

What else could it be but a dagger? It goes without saying; everyone knows.

Ling Yue certainly had the ability to say that.

Su Nan softened his expression and gave a polite smile: "Okay, Miss Ling, don't worry, it won't happen again."

In fact, Su Nan was also quite unhappy about this aspect of Lao Mai's behavior. The main reason she came to talk to Ling Yue about this was to probe her background.

Before figuring out what Wu Xie was up to, Su Nan didn't want to break the facade of peace.

Not far away, on another wall, Li Cu suddenly called for someone to go and see.

Wu Xie and Su Nan then left.

Looking at the distance the two of them subconsciously kept when they were together, Ling Yue suddenly wondered if Su Nan was the enemy Wu Xie had to be wary of.

Moreover, they are currently in a state where they know each other's true identities, but for some unknown reason, they tacitly maintain a superficial peace.

If that's the case, then Su Nan's mercenaries consisted of only a trusted bodyguard and a mistress, Boss Ma, and Wu Xie, who was old (Ma Rila), weak (Wu Xie himself), sick (Li Cu), and disabled (the foolish Wang Meng who couldn't withstand a single punch)...

Is this a gamble where the house pays to have a pack of wolves win all the bets?

So what role does this crew, who seem to have joined halfway through the production, play in this bizarre gamble?

In the middle of the underground palace, Wu Xie loudly warned everyone, "There are traps in this underground palace, everyone be careful..."

Ling Yue originally wanted to go and take a look at the barnacle wall that Li Cu had discovered, but when the beam of his flashlight swept across a passageway next to it, he was suddenly drawn to a small clump of white sand at the foot of the wall.
