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 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…

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…

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 C03
by MarineTL — Chapter 3: Nine-Ring Jade Casket The woman's presence was intimidating. As she took her seat, Rogue Tan across from her dared not curse further. Yet his sharp tongue couldn't resist sarcasm: "Oh, Yu Jingzi, tread carefully. While the Central Plains Ying Gan Hall is a fine place, Chen Si might not be inclined to have a candlelit chat with you." His words were laden with meaning, and I understood them well. Reflecting on the situation, something indeed seemed odd. Chen Si and I grew up together, and…

Nine Rings C04
by MarineTL — Chapter 4: Several Theories Generally speaking, items that are locked tend to be of considerable value. At the time, I had several basic theories, which I will outline here to aid in understanding later on. The first possibility is that the owner of the Jade Casket never intended for anyone to open it a hundred years later, hence the nine silver ring locks. The Nine Rings are locked tightly inside the casket, forming a deadlock. However, there's a glaring flaw in this line of thinking. If the item…

Nine Rings C05
by MarineTL — Chapter 5: No Solution I'm a low-key person. Even without Fourth Brother's reminders, I would naturally avoid discussing it. The Outer Eight Trades desperately lack experts in mechanisms. Even a superficial understanding often gets one called upon for tasks, let alone someone like me who has studied for over a decade. Both my grandfather and Fourth Brother are in complete agreement about whether I should enter this field. I tend to oversimplify certain issues, and my grandfather believes I sometimes…

Nine Rings C06
by MarineTL — Chapter 6: The Beginning of Turmoil After Tan Qiu left, Fourth Brother handed me fifty yuan and sent me off as well. Of course, I was more than happy to take the money. I quickly ran to the street corner stall to enjoy a bowl of cold jelly, and then headed to the supermarket to buy a few toothbrushes. On my way back from the supermarket, I saw the entire production street lined with mobile stalls selling New Year prints and couplets. If there's one thing Henan never lacks, it's people. Every year,…
