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,…

Nine Rings C48
by MarineTL — Chapter 48: Ghost Mountain It was two days later when I finally got another call from Hou Jinshan. The bastard had just gotten off the train at nine in the morning and was already sitting in the private room I’d reserved, waiting for me. I’m not a morning person, so I basically just splashed some water on my face and stumbled out the door half-asleep. I was in a foul mood, and even my footsteps carried a stormy air. Xiao Wu had handled things well. He’d booked a room near the stairs, where…

Nine Rings C80
by MarineTL — Chapter 80: Into the Thieves' Den I was a little surprised by He Yu’s conclusion. He spoke with such certainty, which probably meant he’d seen plenty of antique markets like this before. But he also said the waters in places like this ran deep, and without a local guide, you were bound to get ripped off. I gave an "oh" and lifted my leg to step into the village, but He Yu grabbed my arm. He was so nervous he stammered, "Y-you-you're just going in like that? Who knows if this is that Qiao guy's…

Chapter
Nine Rings C112
by MarineTL — Chapter 112: Reinforcements from the Heavens I wondered if he was being a bit dramatic. Lu Ayao had only exchanged a few words with Tian Yuqing, so how did they end up being labeled as thick as thieves? Besides, even if he really was in league with Tian Yuqing, the man was still Tian Xiaoqi's cousin. She couldn't possibly fly into a murderous rage just because she couldn't get the answers she wanted, right? "This is a bit much, isn't it?" I forced a chuckle. Guangtou waved a hand dismissively.…

Chapter
Nine Rings C144
by MarineTL — Chapter 144: A Part of the Truth? I grew interested, but from a different perspective, so I continued to press him. "Your Lu Clan has an ancestral hall? Is it in Nanjing too? Ancestral halls should have a family tree, right? I've never seen one of those in my life. Why haven't you ever mentioned this before?" Lu Ayao didn't answer, so Fourth Brother spoke up sternly. "No matter how close you are to him, you've only known him for six months. Why are you always prying into these random things? We…

Chapter
Nine Rings C176
by MarineTL — Chapter 176: Seeking Death I watched in silence as Lu Ayao walked toward me. He ignored me at first, instead looking the White Corpse Turtle Immortal up and down where it was pinned to the wall, split in two by his Mountain-Cleaving Machete. Only after confirming it was thoroughly dead did he pull the blade free. Blood dripped all over the floor as he drew it out, bypassing me to sit in a dark corner of the passage. I sat where I was, taking a long moment to recover my wits. From the darkness about…

Chapter
Nine Rings C208
by MarineTL — Chapter 208: Leaving, But Not Quite This time, it wasn't Lu Ayao who noticed first. All three of us spotted them the moment we stepped out the door. The watchers followed from a distance, looking very much like Gan Rong's people. They made no effort to hide; on the contrary, they were remarkably blatant about it, as if being followed was simply our natural state of being. After this had gone on for two or three days, I caught He Yu's eye one morning. The three of us headed up to the second floor…

Chapter
Nine Rings C240
by MarineTL — Chapter 240: The Tomb Passage Right by the stone wall to the left behind the door, several bluestone slabs extended from crevices in the rock. We planned to follow these slabs down to see if there was a passage at the bottom of the pit leading into the mausoleum. Before stepping onto the bluestone slabs, I took a moment to estimate everyone's weight. There was no telling how many years those slabs had been wedged into the rock face; they might have become incredibly brittle. Stepping on them with too…
