Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

The location is 123 degrees east longitude and 53 degrees north latitude, which corresponds to the Mohe area in northeastern China.

Mohe is located in Heilongjiang Province and is the northernmost county in China. It borders Russia and Mongolia and has a cold climate.

Even though spring has arrived in Medog along with the melting snow, the yellow slopes remain bare, the vegetation withered, and the landscape desolate.

Li Cu sat on a wooden bench by the square, tilting her head back and squinting as before, basking in the afternoon sun and staring blankly at the sky.

Not long after, Shen Qiong came over, sat down next to him, and quietly kept him company.

"Shen Qiong," Li Cu turned to look at her, "isn't it about half a month before we have to go back to school?"

Shen Qiong paused for a moment, his eyes flickered, and finally turned his face away without saying a word.

Li Cu didn't necessarily want her to answer; he just casually talked about his time at school: "Back then, the biggest trouble was having to get up early to go to school in the winter mornings, or Yang Jingqian would come to call my parents. What I thought about most every day was skipping class and going out to hang out with my good brother."

Li Cu smiled and said, "Good Brother always says he's awesome, but the most beatings Su Wan and I took were actually taken by him along with us..."

After listening for a while, Shen Qiong hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up: "Ya Li, don't say these things."

Actually, it's best not to even think about it.

She reached out and tentatively pressed Li Cu's hand, which was resting on the wooden chair: "Isn't it good to have me with you?"

Li Cu lowered her eyes.

Just then, Wang Can suddenly appeared: "Li Cu, Mr. Wang is looking for you."

He glanced at Shen Qiong's hand, which was pressed on the back of Li Cu's hand, and smiled disdainfully.

Li Cu got up and followed Wang Can to Mr. Wang's office in the main building of the core area.

Once inside, Li Cu discovered that there was actually another person in the room.

This person is someone I know well.

Su Nan was taken aback when she saw Li Cu, then glanced back at Wang Cen and Mr. Wang before letting out a cold laugh.

With her arms crossed, she greeted Li Cuo, "It's you, Li Cuo. Long time no see."

Li Cu frowned, also somewhat puzzled. "Su Nan?" He turned to look at Mr. Wang, asking with his eyes what was going on.

Mr. Wang smiled gently and gave Wang Cen a look.

Wang Cen, a confidant of the leader, took the initiative to explain: "Su Nan returned yesterday. Her mission was to eliminate Wu Xie, and she claims to have already completed the mission."

Su Nan was very unhappy with Wang Cen's use of the word "self-reference," but she only made a sarcastic expression and did not interrupt him.

Li Cu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but worry whether Wu Xie had received the coordinates sent out by the hydrogen balloon she had released not long ago.

Although Li Cu quickly realized what was happening and suppressed his worries, Mr. Wang and Wang Cen, who were present, were both shrewd people and could not miss this change in his expression.

Wang Cen questioned, "Li Cu, are you worried about Wu Xie?"

Realizing that her emotions had betrayed her, Li Cu, who had already gained a lot of experience, was not flustered. Instead, she frowned and looked at Su Nan, asking instead of answering, "Since you disappeared, Su Nan, have you been with Wu Xie the whole time?"

Li Cu immediately understood that the reason Mr. Wang and Wang Cen called him over was not because they suspected him.

Rather, it was certain changes in southern Jiangsu that aroused their suspicions.

Just now, the moment Li Cu saw Su Nan, he keenly noticed the change in her.

It was a subtle change that was indescribable, but it certainly existed.

Perhaps the reason why Wang Cen used such sharp language when dealing with Su Nan was because he had also noticed this.

To protect itself, Li Cuo has no choice but to magnify the problems in southern Jiangsu.

Similarly, in order to protect himself, Su Nan had no choice but to drag Li Cu into the mess: "Li Cu, were you worried about Wu Xie or Ling Yue just now?"

She smiled. "Or perhaps, it's both?"

Mr. Wang frowned and exchanged a glance with Wang Cen.

Why is Ling Yue being dragged into this again?

Since Ling Yue first appeared in the Wang family's sight, she has been known for her exceptional skills and untraceable background.

Upon learning this, Mr. Wang immediately wanted to invite the person over.

After that, Wang family members who were on missions elsewhere also sent back news about Ling Yue.

From these messages, they concluded that Ling Yue was neither on the side of the Nine Gates nor a member of the Zhang family who had disappeared.

This is good news for the Wang family.

But soon, a problem arose.

Even though they kept collecting information about Ling Yue, the computing department still couldn't make any predictions about Ling Yue's fate!

This means that Ling Yue himself is uncontrollable and cannot be controlled.

This is the first time the computing department has reached this conclusion!

This conclusion was no less shocking to the few high-ranking members of the Wang family who knew about it than the Zhang family had discovered that the Holy Infant was fake and that perfect immortality was also fake.

Wang Cen, a confidant of Mr. Wang, also knew about this.

They all understood that they had to find out the answer before the matter was leaked.

Perhaps the answer can only be found in Ling Yue.

Therefore, Mr. Wang gave an order to all Wang family members who were away: invite Ling Yue to the Wang family!

Unfortunately, they never succeeded.

Now it seems that Li Cu might be Ling Yue's breakthrough point.

Li Cu was not distracted by Su Nan's pace. He asked bluntly, "Su Nan, why have you been avoiding the question?"

He turned to Mr. Wang and said, "I have reason to suspect that Su Nan may have been turned by Wu Xie during the time she was missing. Otherwise, given Su Nan's skills, would it really have taken her this long to kill Wu Xie?"

This is also a major reason why Mr. Wang and Wang Cen suspected Su Nan.

Since Su Nan disappeared for so long, his return has been a result of the fact that the ratio given by the computing department is within the normal range.

However, as a contemporary of Su Nan, Wang Cen still noticed something was wrong with her.

That's why we called Li Cu here today, to have Li Cu and Su Nan, both of whom are involved with Wu Xie, undergo some kind of test together.

Su Nan also sensed this, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Just as she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Cen frowned, glanced at Mr. Wang, and only after receiving a nod from him did he call out "Come in".

It was Wang Can who entered, his expression somewhat strange. "Mr. Wang, Ling Yue has appeared at the base gate. She says she wants to see you."

Mr. Wang was startled, and Wang Cen also stood up.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Cu's eyes, but it quickly turned into worry.

He couldn't understand why Ling Yue would suddenly appear here.

And, it’s done in this way.

However, he immediately seized the opportunity and turned to Su Nan, his tone somewhat strange: "Sister Nan, what a coincidence, you just got back yesterday, and Ling Yue found this place today."

He was determined to clear himself of any responsibility for exposing the base's location before Wu Xie arrived.

Not only Li Cu thought this way, but even Wang Can subconsciously looked at Su Nan.

Su Nan laughed in anger, "I've already said, I haven't seen Ling Yue at all during the time I was killing Wu Xie!"

Unfortunately, facts speak louder than words. Mr. Wang gave Wang Can a look and said, "Take her away and lock her up."

The most important questions now are: why did Ling Yue find this place? Has their base location been exposed? And what is the purpose of the other party wanting to see him?
