Nine Rings C83
by MarineTL — Chapter 83: Making Enemies Qiao Sangui was urging me, but I was surprisingly calm. I didn’t agree right away. First of all, it was strange that he hadn’t been the least bit surprised by my arrival. That alone was suspicious. He also knew my grandfather and was clearly aware that I was the one who leaked the information about the Jade Casket in Yunnan. So I had a bold guess: Qiao Sangui had anticipated my arrival from the moment I released the news about the casket. Not only that, but with his wide…

Nine Rings C82
by MarineTL — Chapter 82: The Lu Family’s Obituary The moment Qiao Sangui spoke, my heart skipped a beat. For an instant, I felt like I saw a thousand things flash through his eyes. This man knew me. He knew my grandfather. He even knew I was coming to find him. He might even be fully aware that I had someone spread the word about the Jade Casket in Yunnan. I stood frozen, unsure how to respond. When someone’s level is far beyond yours, your every move is already within their grasp. At that point, anything you…

Nine Rings C81
by MarineTL — Chapter 81: Death Bringer Sensing things were about to go south, I knew brute force wasn't an option. This was their turf, and if it came down to a fight, we didn’t stand a chance. So I forced an awkward smile and said, “Big bro, boss, we’ve never met Qian Chuan’er before. We’re just here to ask him about something. Don’t get the wrong idea, we’re not here to cause trouble.” Maybe it was the honest, clear look in my eyes that did it. I didn’t look like a seasoned thug, so after I…

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 these kinds of antique markets before. But he also said places like this were full of hidden traps, and without someone familiar to guide you, you were bound to get ripped off. I gave a noncommittal “oh” and lifted my leg to step into the village, but He Yu grabbed my arm. He was so nervous he started stammering, “Y-you-you’re just going…

Nine Rings C79
by MarineTL — Chapter 79: Treasure-Hunting Market Over the next few days, He Yu and I split up our tasks. He was in charge of digging up Qiao Sangui’s current whereabouts, while I focused on attending classes and prepping for finals. The school had suddenly announced a sketching exam, and it nearly drove me crazy. I spent the whole week getting up at the crack of dawn and burning the midnight oil, terrified I’d flunk it. That said, He Yu turned out to be a lot more reliable than he looked. He was surprisingly…

Nine Rings C78
by MarineTL — Chapter 78: 4341951009 After talking for quite a while, He Yu finally gave in. He asked, “You want to investigate the Five Masters? That’s not going to be easy. Especially Tian Yuqing and Chen Si, those two are the trickiest of the bunch. If they team up to come after you, you won’t even know how you died. Who do you plan to ask for help?” That question hit right at my blind spot. When it came to industry insiders and backdoor dealings, I was completely out of my depth. Everyone always said…

Nine Rings C77
by MarineTL — Chapter 77: Sorting Things Out Xiao Wu was one of Fourth Brother’s people, so I couldn’t count on him anymore. Lu A’yao’s phone had been unreachable the entire time. That guy was like a ghost—always vanishing, full of secrets. I didn’t plan on asking him for help either. At this point, the only person I could rely on was He Yu. I went downstairs and packed two servings of stewed noodles for him, then dragged a small stool over to the table in the living room. I leaned over it and spent a…

Nine Rings C76
by MarineTL — Chapter 76: Finding Reinforcements When I said that, He Yu laughed. “What kind of good stuff could you possibly have? Just to eat your bowl of braised noodles, I’d have to run a few hundred kilometers.” I chuckled too. “Ever heard of the legendary Nieyao Ghost Market Map?” There was a sudden clatter on the other end of the line, like chopsticks hitting the floor. Then He Yu started shouting, “Boss lady! Check, please!” “What’s going on with you today, Xiao He? You’re not eating…
