Nine Rings C18
by MarineTL — Chapter 18: A Rocky Start Once the makeshift pulley was securely fastened directly above the pit, everything was ready. The two professors entered the large tent one after the other. We followed closely behind. I initially intended to listen attentively to their arrangements, but as they spoke, I found it was like being in a math class—after a few sentences, I started to feel sleepy. So I moved over to sit next to He Yu. Most of the meeting was dominated by Wu Yili and the bald professor, with Tian…

Nine Rings C17
by MarineTL — Chapter 17: The Eccentric The tradition of the Record Keeper of the Heard has been passed down through the ages, branching into various sects over time. The He family remains steadfast in their adherence to the old ways. Traditional Record Keepers of the Heard hold a distinctly martial worldview, forbidding their direct descendants from pursuing official positions or high-level clerical work. As a direct descendant of the great-grandson generation, He Yu was naturally barred from such professions. From a…

Nine Rings C16
by MarineTL — Chapter 16: The Dragon Trapped by Flowing Water I couldn't understand why Tian Yuqing insisted on having our team and the Tan family's workers go down first. From what I know of him, he's shrewd and efficient, never doing anything pointless. There must be a reason he's keeping the archaeological team from going down first, but whether it's for profit, I can't tell. "Have you finished arguing?" Before Wu Yili could respond, Lu A'yao's voice came from inside the cave. He emerged from the low tunnel, his…

Nine Rings C15
by MarineTL — Chapter 15: The Tunnel After a night's rest, Tian Yuqing brought us to a quaint little inn. That evening, we all gathered around a large round table for dinner. Lu A'yao went to the main table, while I was content to stay on the side with He Yu, picking at our food. But then Tian Yuqing had someone call us over to the main table. I couldn't refuse, so I reluctantly went over. The main table was in a private room, and as soon as I entered, I felt an overwhelming pressure. Seated around the large table…

Nine Rings C14
by MarineTL — Chapter 14: Destination Tian Yuqing opened the car door and tossed me a black backpack from Lao Gen's hands. "Pack the Jade Casket well. No matter where you go, you must take the casket with you. If you find the journey too boring, you can try to crack it to pass the time." I packed the Jade Casket, slung the backpack over my shoulder, and got out of the car. He Yu was waiting for me in front of the second vehicle, smiling as he approached. "Hey, I didn't peg you for a tough guy. How'd it go? Judging by…

Nine Rings C13
by MarineTL — Chapter 13: The Grand Archaeological Project I am someone who is rarely curious about anything, and following this team to this point without knowing much is already my limit. Tian Yuqing was very adamant; if I were to learn everything from him, I would have to stick with the team to the end. On this point, his stance was firm. But abandoning Fourth Brother and running off on my own was something I could never do. My mother was a very career-driven woman. As soon as she finished breastfeeding, she left…

Nine Rings C12
by MarineTL — Chapter 12: Two Teams? This rhyme was never meant to teach anyone how to find dragon veins or explore grand tombs. Yet, many unskilled Tomb Raiders once believed it to be true. How could something so profound that some people spend their entire lives trying to understand be condensed into just a simple rhyme? The original purpose of this rhyme was to introduce the unique skills of each master among the Five Masters. It was meant to guide those who found themselves lost when determining the auspicious…

Nine Rings C11
by MarineTL — Chapter 11: Three Sacks of Rice Back in the car, the chill that had seeped into my bones seemed to be whisked away by the warmth of the air conditioning. He Yu had been woken by our commotion, but he didn't seem grumpy at all. Instead, he was curiously staring at Lu A'yao, who had just gotten into the car. Tian Yuqing had mentioned bringing in some help, but it turned out he had only invited Lu A'yao. Once we were all in the car, the convoy turned around and got back on the highway. My emotions were a…
