Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Mr. Wang and Wang Cen accepted Ling Yue's arrogance well.

After all, this has always been her personality. If she suddenly changed her attitude, it would only make people suspicious.

Mr. Wang's smile remained unchanged. Following Ling Yue's lead, he asked directly, "Miss Ling, could you tell me why you've come here?"

Ling Yue put his hands in his pockets, pulled his shirt collar inwards, and straightened his posture: "I heard that the Wang family has a very magical computing department. Can it calculate exactly what I want?"

Mr. Wang was a little surprised by this, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem too surprising.

He naturally wouldn't reveal the fact that the computing department couldn't calculate her, but instead calmly said, "Miss Ling's purpose might just be the same as ours. Are you interested in joining us?"

Ling Yue looked interested: "Tell me about it?"

Mr. Wang's hands, resting on the desk, clasped together almost imperceptibly, then loosened, and he uttered three words with certainty: "Bronze Door."

Ling Yue raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying: "Your Wang family has brought down the Zhang family and controlled the Nine Gates for so many years. I don't believe you've never been inside."

Mr. Wang chuckled and moved his hands on the desk. "Ms. Ling, as long as you agree to join us, you will get all the answers you want."

Ling Yue lowered his eyes, revealing a thoughtful expression, seemingly indeed considering the possibility of joining the Wang family.

Only then did Wang Cen speak up and ask, "Miss Ling, I heard that you and Wu Xie are behaving intimately, and it seems that you have some unusual feelings for each other?"

Ling Yue asked in surprise, "Don't you guys think Wu Xie is quite good-looking?"

This answer genuinely caused Mr. Wang and Wang Cen, both brimming with conspiracy theories, to momentarily pause in their thinking.

Wang Cen was even more puzzled: "Miss Ling means...?"

Ling Yue smiled nonchalantly, "This is just a personal hobby of mine, and Li Cu is quite good-looking too."

After a pause, as if remembering something, Ling Yue added, "That guy outside named Wang Can was quite good-looking too."

Having gone this far, Mr. Wang and Wang Cen certainly understood what her so-called "personal hobby" meant.

The two looked at each other.

It seems a bit hard to understand why young girls these days are all so... careless about details.

Regardless of whether what she said is true or not, if Ling Yue really doesn't have any special feelings for Wu Xie, it would naturally be a good thing for them.

At this moment, Ling Yue said again, "Whether it's Wu Xie, the Nine Gates, or the Zhang or Wang families, I have no interest in any of you."

Mr. Wang raised his hand, gesturing for her to continue.

Ling Yue stopped talking and stood up instead: "I wonder if you could arrange for someone to show me around here. After all, I have some requirements for the environment where I might be living for a long time in the future."

Does this mean they're more inclined to join them?

Mr. Wang felt uneasy that she so casually showed such a bias.

After thinking for a moment, he gave Wang Cen a look, and then smiled at Ling Yue: "Of course you can. This will be your home from now on, so you should definitely take a look around."

Wang Cen quickly made the arrangements.

When Ling Yue went out, she saw a smiling Li Cu and a sullen-faced Wang Can waiting for her.

Facing Ling Yue's questioning gaze, Wang Can's eyes flickered as he whispered, "Mr. Wang has arranged for Li Cu and me to show you around the base."

Thinking about what Wang Cen had just told him, Wang Can's ears burned and he felt extremely awkward.

On the one hand, he believed that Ling Yue was definitely not the type to be attracted to men, and that what she said to Mr. Wang about being attracted to his looks was utter nonsense.

On the other hand, Wang Can felt embarrassed by Ling Yue's nonsense.

Li Cu was much simpler, although he was still worried that Ling Yue might encounter danger if he rashly came to the Wang family base.

Although Ling Yue was highly skilled in martial arts, even the best martial arts skills are no match for machine guns. The Wang family was a group of outlaws who were armed with firearms by themselves!

But he was genuinely happy about Ling Yue's arrival, feeling a sense of security as if he finally had a pillar of support.

Li Cu thought that Ling Yue was not a reckless person, so her appearance must have been planned.

It might be related to Wu Xie's ultimate plan!

Thinking about it this way, Li Cu was even happier.

It seems his departure from here is just around the corner.

Although it was called a tour, Wang Can actually took Ling Yue to some unimportant places.

The Wang family had a daytime classroom, a nighttime training building, a canteen, and a square.

Wang Can didn't say a word the whole time; instead, Li Cu took the initiative to act as the tour guide and talked about what happened to her there.

He even told Ling Yue about how badly he was beaten when he first attended a black class and how he lost and didn't even get to eat.

Wang Can expressed his incomprehension and offered no blessings.

Why talk about such an embarrassing and shameful thing?

Divine gold!

Finally, Wang Can led Ling Yue to a room.

Upon seeing the equipment inside from the doorway, Li Cu's expression instantly changed. She grabbed Ling Yue and stared at Wang Can warily: "Why did you bring Ling Yue here?"

At this moment, Wang Can took a few steps back, and many members of the Wang family carrying firearms appeared on both sides of the corridor.

Li Cu immediately shielded Ling Yue behind her, her gaze towards Wang Can growing increasingly fierce, like a wolf cub: "Wang Can, is this how you treat Mr. Wang's guests?"

At that moment, Mr. Wang's voice came from the loudspeaker at the door: "Li Cu, don't be nervous. Miss Ling, please don't misunderstand, this is just a small test to see if you are a guest or an enemy."

Wang Cen also came out, ignoring Li Cu, and advised Ling Yue: "Miss Ling, you'd better leave your weapons outside first."

Clearly, Wang Can bringing Ling Yue here was at Mr. Wang's behest.

This made Li Cu so nervous that a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she kept thinking about how to get Ling Yue away.

However, Ling Yue, who was being nervously protected behind him, did not show any surprise or tension from beginning to end, as if everything was within her expectations.

Or perhaps she doesn't care about these things at all?

Wang Cen couldn't see through her.

I became increasingly wary.

Ling Yue gently patted Li Cu's shoulder, "Li Cu, are you waiting for me outside, or..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Cu grabbed her hand: "Of course I'll go in with you!"

With him around, at least he can take a few bullets for Ling Yue in crucial moments.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Ling Yue's hands weren't as warm as they used to be when they met this time.

However, this thought only flashed through Li Cu's mind for a moment before he quickly focused his attention on the Wang family's "ruthless betrayal."

They were all smiles and laughter before, but now that they're all ready, they immediately turn their backs on us. These members of the Wang family are all shameless scoundrels!

Pooh!

Although the word "pah" wasn't spoken aloud, Li Cu tried her best to spit it out at Wang Cen with both her eyes and face as she passed by.

Wang Cen: "..."

He raised his hand and wiped his face, feeling as if he had been sprayed with spit just from a single glance.

That Li Cuo, he'll have to be taught a lesson sooner or later!
