Into the tomb

Following whatever that was everything went along nicely, which meant neither of the girls was fighting any more, though there was bickering if they found something wrong within the words of the other.

Weirdly enough Xiao Fan, who hadn't instigated this fighting could feel that it was his action that had done all of this, and in reality, it was his act of giving the mutated Bit of Wit to Zhuan An that had been the spark of this. However, now that it had happened he not having a way to mend things could only move forward and hope that something would happen between the two naturally.

He felt that they were only in a bad point of their relationship, not actually on war foot. They were women, and by now he felt that they would do things simply for the sake of, for example, romance like Zhuan An had done. Nevertheless, the current reality of his was that he was inside a carriage for what seemed to be days, and for that time, he would need to act nicely.

Which wasn't too hard since Zhuan An had nothing on him and Fei Sun also seemed not to be too angry with him, she only felt a little betrayed, but then again, after one day spent inside the carriage, she reluctantly came to the other side of him.

From there on the trip was nice and calm, after all, they were travelling inside the borders of the biggest nation on the Ohin Continent, so bandits were not something they were expecting to find themselves engaged in combat with.

¨Were finally here?¨ It had been around a week when Xiao Fan spoke so.

Fei Sun, who looked as if she was bored to death, opened the curtains of the carriage a little to see outside ¨We are¨ She spoke shortly.

¨Finally something interesting¨ Xiao Fan corrected his position a little.

The only person who didn't like this murmured for a moment, but then again when Xiao Fan was leaving the carriage, Zhuan An followed him right behind.

Zhuan An got outside the carriage and cathed up with Xiao Fan, who was being reminded by Fei Sun how to act in the bigger world.

¨Remember this is the bigger world, this isn't anything on the level of Hangzhou, so you can't simply go to a person and start talking with them, if you don't know the person, for now, I would advise you not to talk to them if they don't talk to you first¨

¨We don't want to anything happen. You were lucky with Ye Qi once, but here there are people who make him be a small-time character, so please act accordingly¨ She was lecturing until Zhuan An cathed up to them.

¨We're here only to see our luck. Maybe since this is a Qi Realm tomb, we can be lucky and find some treasure¨ She added in.

¨I have already gotten this all since you have explained this so many times already¨ Xiao Fan had heard this lecture so many times during their trip. 'Don't be flashy. Stay in the sidelines. Wait for opportunities' He went over the bullet points of their warnings. Though there was nothing wrong in them, they totally were some low-level people here, so them acting like so was best for their health and survival.

¨Good, then just remember it¨ Fei Sun commented.

¨I'm not a child like you think I am¨ He noted what he had heard from Fei Peng concerning her opinions concerning him.

Watching her face, Xiao Fan saw that she was a little surprised, but after the initial expression went past, she didn't show anything quickly hiding it and not speaking more. And when she did so, he waited a couple of steps to walk with Zhuan An.

Soon walking with everyone who had come here from the Rising Fox Sect, they came over a small hill, which when over it they saw the other groups already present on the downward slope.

The first impression of seeing this was genuine awe from Xiao Fan, who saw so many cultivators gathered at one spot, plus they were all so different, sure most of them had a blue, red, and white colour scheme, but even those varied greatly. 'Must be all the different government groups that have those colours' Xiao Fan noted that everyone with such a colour scheme should be directly under the Bald Eagle Dynasty banner while everyone else was from the sects.

Then as he looked more generally, he could note that most of the people, almost an overwhelming majority of them were from the government side. Very few seemed to be from the sect, which also gave the scale as, for example, the Rising Fox Sect had come with hundreds of people, yet they still were a small portion of the group gathering here.

¨Will it start soon?¨ He asked as they were walking towards the other people who were waiting for something to happen.

¨I don't know, but it seems like some big shot from the Royal Family or something will be opening this. There would be no other reason to keep all these people from entering¨ Zhuan An explained.

¨Someone from the Royal Family? You mean one of those people?¨ He then nudged his head towards a certain direction that was right beside the entrance into the Tomb of the Four Ancient Ones.

Zhuan An, who had been keeping her eyes on him then took a look towards some hastily made platform next to the entrance ¨Oh, yeah. However, none of them is the Emperor. Those must be some princes and other royals who are waiting for the opening¨ She after having a look spoke.

¨So they are people who we should take a look at? Surely they are amongst the strongest going in¨

¨Good idea, good idea¨ She agreed and then both of them took a look at the fancily dressed people on the stand.

However, as they were taking notes of everyone appearance three people came walking up to the platform ¨Quiet you two, its starting¨ Fei Sun who was taking note of this whispered behind her for the two to stop talking so much and focus.

Both of them got the idea and then searched for the people who when found, were then focussed on by them like everyone else was focussing. Everyone who had gathered had by now shut their mouths and waited for the man on the bigger side to walk.

'He must be the Emperor' Xiao Fan made a note to himself.

Indeed he was for when he got to a podium on the wooden platform the man introduced him as such. Then waiting for the applause to end, he continued ¨I'm here today to officially open the search of the Tomb of The Four Ancient ones¨ Him saying so again got applauded by the audience, again. After which he then went on for a moment to tell the story of the Four Ancient Ones that had once saved his Empire from certain doom and how happy he was to open their secrets to the world.

Xiao Fan amongst the tens of thousands of people listening to this speech clapped when needed while feeling that the Emperor knew how to give a speech since even he was getting pumped up by hearing him speak from the podium. Still, the only thing that truly interested him in this was to hear the speech end so that he could get into the tomb and loot everything, if he could he wouldn't leave anything to the Bald Eagle Dynasty.

It was a pipe dream considering what all he needed to do to succeed in it, but he wanted to dream and thinking this made him be more excited than he should be for his own good. Though the man went on for so long that he was getting bored and his blood that had been running was now calming down, and so he looked for other things to pass the time.

Like taking a look at the two women behind him, staring at them was pretty fun for the women were something belonging to an Emperor and thinking what he wanted to do to them was pretty fun; however, even that got boring after some time, and he was getting looked by Zhuan An, so he got back to looking at everyone else gathering here. First completing his notes of the people behind the Emperor and then continuing to the people who seemed to be leaders of different groups on the ground.

In the end, it took hours for the Emperor to finish talking to the people, who still after this long were clapping to his every sentence like monkeys, though he was doing the same since he didn't want to be seen as a dissident.

But when it was finally over Xiao Fan and Zhuan An following Fei Sun in one line ran towards the entrance of the Tomb of the Four Ancient ones like everyone else was doing. This happening from the air would have looked like water going down into a pipe since the number of people trying to get through that small hole was quite a lot.

Like said there were tens of thousands of participants.

It was so cramped that when people got into the tomb, no one even looked around them and continued to run forwards deeper into the tomb until they noticed that they were somewhere completely different where they had been moments ago.

This included Xiao Fan, who had been running his chest almost glued to the back of Fei Sun until he found himself alone in a plain or something. The fact was that he wasn't inside the tomb anymore.

¨Oh I wondered what I felt¨ Came the voice of Cao Cao. Cao Cao still having all that tracking equipment had easily noted how Xiao Fan had been transported such a long distance in such a short time, and so had come to see his project.

¨That isn't possible in the Qi Realm correct?¨ Was the first thing Xiao Fan still sitting on the grass spoke.

¨No this is not¨ Cao Cao was of the same opinion ¨Let me see what you have been thinking lately¨ He might have asked, but he didn't wait for a response before his Godhood took the liberty to run around in the recent memories of his project.

¨The Four Ancient Ones? This level place inside a world like this?¨ As he was going through his memories, Cao Cao was a little surprised that the Ohin Continent had something like this. Seeing as it should never have something like this. Why didn't he know of its existence before? Exactly because it was high enough level to hide from him if he didn't look for it closely.

¨You seem to be blessed with great luck¨ Was the first thing he spoke to Xiao Fan.

¨Can you tell me what this place is?¨ Xiao Fan cared little for those words. He wanted to hear information concerning this place more so than anything; he wanted his unfair advantage that Cao Cao could give him.

¨Pestering an old person like me for information are we?¨

¨Yes, please direct me towards the treasure please¨ He didn't care if he was pestering his liege, the liege did no harm to him so he could surely ask.

¨Greedy¨

¨Yes, very greedy now tell me the direction¨

¨Why should I?¨

¨You are my liege, don't you want your minion to succeed in its endeavours?¨

They went on for a moment until ¨Fine! Fine, I don't have the patience to wait you roam around in this place anyway¨ Cao Cao got enough and pointed his hand ¨That way, now go that way and show me something fun. Oh wait, I'll make something fun my self¨

*plop*

¨What is this thing!¨ The fun that Cao Cao had arranged roared after being teleported again to a random place.
