Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Just as he was getting cocky, Wu Xie gave him a good beating. Li Cu followed Wu Xie dejectedly and obediently walked out of the tent.

As Li Cu passed by Ling Yue, she cast a resentful glance at her, as if accusing her: "You take the money and do nothing, don't you have any conscience?"

Ling Yue, who clearly defined his responsibilities, felt no pangs of conscience. The young man was too inexperienced and did not understand the true value of having someone to protect his life.

The price of 12 is only available when Lingyue needs money, and it's a deeply discounted price.

Before she transmigrated, this amount of money, converted into gold, would have been equivalent to the value of a single hidden weapon she threw out during a mission.

Thinking of this, Ling Yue silently touched the openwork silk bracelet on his wrist. Half of the gemstone hole on it was empty, and he didn't know when it could be repaired.

Wu Xie called Li Cu out because his partner Wang Meng accidentally discovered a camera tomb while digging a pit to set up a tent. The tomb contained many cameras and other equipment, as well as traces of burning.

It was clearly something that had been deliberately disposed of and then buried again.

So what secrets are hidden in these cameras that they can't let people know?

When Li Cu first arrived, he was reluctant, but he was quickly drawn to Wu Xie's explanations and guesses, and he forgot all about the beating he had been given for not wanting to come.

At this point, Su Nan also had time to inquire about the reason why Ling Yue had reappeared in the convoy. She first called Wu Xie aside and questioned her, "What's going on with Ling Yue? Didn't she leave? Why did she happen to reappear nearby just one night later, when we were about to reach Gutongjing?"

If Su Nan didn't have many feelings about Ling Yue before, now she has reason to suspect that he has ulterior motives.

Was it someone else sent by the organization? Or was it something done by the Nine Gates?

Wu Xie also wanted to test her, "You're asking me? Who should I ask? I saw her walking in the sandstorm before, and I was wondering about it too. Something just didn't feel right. You're both women, why don't you go and test her?"

Su Nan frowned, looking at him with a questioning gaze: "You really don't know?"

Wu Xie smiled, shrugged, and spread his hands.

With his frivolous and cheeky demeanor, it was impossible to tell whether he genuinely didn't know or was pretending not to.

Knowing that further questioning would yield no results, Su Nan stopped pressing the matter. She glanced at Ling Yue, who was following Li Cu and watching the group digging for camera wreckage at the camera mound, and then went to find Boss Ma.

The news that Ling Yue had rejoined the crew as a bodyguard hired by photographer Guan's assistant was not kept secret, and the crew soon found out as well.

Guozi was discussing this with Director Wang: "Director Wang, as you can see, we've discovered so many great things since we arrived, but without a special commentator like Ling Yue, I'm worried..."

There are plenty of hot topics that can be hyped up about Ling Yue. I had heard Director Wang and producer Dan Jie talk about this before, and Dan Jie also agreed with it.

It was one thing for Ling Yue to insist on leaving before, but now that he's back...

Although he was hired as a bodyguard, as long as there is no conflict between the two, they can bring Ling Yue back and continue filming according to the previous plan.

Although Director Wang may occasionally have some inappropriate temper, once he calms down, he becomes a dreamer who is willing to flatter, fawn, and humble himself for the sake of his dreams.

He knew that Guozi's suggestion was actually very good, but he also had a thought: "Guozi, how did she become someone's bodyguard? What did the person who recruited her say when they were hiring?"

Guozi thought for a moment and said, "The matchmaker said that Ling Yue knows some martial arts. The two of them met because Ling Yue saved the matchmaker."

Director Wang hissed, scratched his chin, looked around, and then lowered his voice a little: "So tell me, can she beat Old Mai and his gang?"

Guozi immediately understood what Director Wang meant.

Just now, while filming an inscription on the city wall, their crew had a minor conflict with Old Mai, who was hired by Boss Ma.

It was only then that Director Wang realized that Old Mai and his group did not seem like good people, and he belatedly began to worry.

However, Guozi hesitated: "But Ling Yue is a girl, and so thin..." Can she withstand a punch from Lao Mai and the others?

Director Wang glanced at her and said, "Are you stupid? Didn't you see that she walked alone in the desert for a whole day and night? When she encountered the convoy just now, they were in a sandstorm! Moreover, that Teacher Guan is obviously a shrewd person. The fact that he had his assistant hire Ling Yue as their bodyguard means he must have seen that Ling Yue is quite capable."

"We can't just pay someone one salary and make them do two jobs," Guozi said, still not entirely happy.

Director Wang was exasperated: "You! You always seem to spout some inappropriate naiveté! Whether there's a reward or not, just take a shot first, and we can always negotiate and discuss it!"

Guozi cheered up again and volunteered, "Okay, I'll go talk to Ling Yue first."

However, Ling Yue had no interest in this.

Guozi was unhappy and kept pestering her to give a reason. Seeing how Guozi had taken care of her from time to time along the way, Ling Yue said directly, "I don't take on two jobs at the same time."

Guozi couldn't understand: "Isn't this just something I did easily?"

Ling Yue glanced back at Old Mai's group and shook his head: "Not convenient."

That's such a heartless answer!

Guozi turned and left angrily. When she got back and told Director Wang, she couldn't help but complain, "What's with the arrogance? We brought her here, and now she's on the other side and ignoring us."

Although it was somewhat unexpected, upon reflection, Director Wang realized that it made sense that the other party was unwilling.

Putting aside the fact that he just left him there yesterday, and that he ignored Ling Yue when he ran into people from his film crew several times, Ling Yue seems to be a proud and arrogant person.

They're down on their luck right now and need to make some money, but people won't be like them, groveling and fawning for a few coins.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. You were the one who said nice things to people before, and now you're the one complaining. Aren't you tired?" Director Wang dismissed Guozi and asked her to check if their film crew's tents were set up yet.

After Guozi left, Li Cu, who had been secretly eavesdropping nearby, walked up to Ling Yue and asked knowingly, "Hey, what did Sister Guozi want with you just now?"

Ling Yue gave him a "don't pretend" look, and Li Cu grinned, his expression tinged with pride: "I have to be a good judge of character, Sister Ling. Just for your integrity and professionalism, I'll have to introduce you to more jobs in the future!"

"No need." Ling Yue refused decisively, then walked towards the ancient city wall ruins, curiously examining the inscriptions and the spider totem.

The more she looked, the more she felt that this group of people came here to find the ancient city of Gutongjing not simply to search for treasure.

Wang Meng dug out more than forty cameras from the camera graveyard, and Wu Xie asked him to export all the readable photos from them.

Li Cu always complains that Wu Xie is sick, but he follows Wu Xie everywhere, like a curious little tail.

After a while, Ling Yue went back to Wu Xie's tent to get a bottle of water, and then stood behind Wang Meng curiously to watch him play Fruit Match for a while. Li Cu seemed to have been hit by something and returned to Ling Yue's side absentmindedly.

He glanced at Ling Yue, met Ling Yue's questioning gaze, hesitated, and after a moment shook his head, as if he was still puzzled by a certain question.

Ling Yue was only responsible for his physical safety; psychological issues were not a concern.
