" I mean so many people came to this place before us and yet no one found the tomb of the lost Emperor before us?" Fan Ehuang was reckless and wild but she also knew how to use her wits when she needed them the most. Now that she was in a situation that could possibly turn bad, the cogs in her brain started to turn. " Don\'t you think that it\'s kind of really eerie that no one but us found this place?"

" That\'s right before us so many adults came to this tomb why is it that no one found this secret tomb before?" Li Na too echoed after Fan Ehuang, she didn\'t know whether it was her imagination or the dark tomb opened to somewhere really deep given that the entire corridor seemed to have turned freezing cold. " I don\'t feel so good, I think we should just snap a picture here and go back, after all, we did come inside the tomb and completed the challenge, there is no need for us to delve deeper into things about which we don\'t know about."

Li Yiqian rolled his eyes, he didn\'t take their concern seriously instead he threw his hands up and somewhat annoyingly said, " Is that really weird? I mean you guys saw that coffin lying here too, didn\'t you? Most probably those people who came here saw that coffin and thought that the tomb was only this big, didn\'t we think the same? If not for me punching that hidden button in the wall, we too would have thought that this place was the end of the tomb."

"But those people who came were archaeologists," countered Fan Ehuang sharply. " Even Mei Xing can tell that the coffin didn\'t belong to the lost Emperor, do you think that the archaeologists wouldn\'t have found out something so simple as that? I agree with Na Na, we should go back and be done with this challenge." She then turned to look at Tao Guotin and said, " Your challenge was to come this close to the tomb, you can go live now and show your fans that we are in here, after that we are going back, I am done playing adventurer."

Li Yiqian stared at Fan Ehuang as if she has gone mad, he heaved a dark breath and then scrubbed his face harshly only then did he turn to look at Fan Ehuang and others, he was worried that if he was to continue talking to Fan Ehuang then he will surely blow up.

" Come on guys, can\'t you see what kind of amazing opportunity is in front of us?" He raised his hands and pointed both of them at the entrance of the lost tomb. " This is the biggest revelation that we can do at the moment, like for real… I have heard all about the tomb of the Lost Emperor but the only image that\'s circulating on the internet is that coffin\'s other than that there is nothing, don\'t you think that if we just click some pictures and upload them we will become the first among everyone else? Don\'t tell me you don\'t want to."

He then turned to look at Tao Guotin and continued knowing that if he was to wheedle this brother of his, he will make everyone agree with his suggestion. " I get it, many people came before us but then again no one was able to find this place right? If that\'s the case why not take advantage of this opportunity and become an instant celebrity? Dude, if we do this thing then we will be the \'it group\', the first one to go down with golden letters… forget about our classmates, even our teachers will look up at us and our parents, think how happy and proud they will be once they find out that we did something this big? Even their taunts that we are nothing but good for nothing brats will stop, don\'t you all want that?"

The silence that ensued after Li Yiqian\'s speech was louder than the pitter-patter of the rain.

After a short pause, Shi Caihong raised her hand and said, " I am going with him, I think he is right. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I don\'t know about you guys but I want my parents to shut up and leave me alone."

Mei Xing looked around when she saw that the others were teetering on the edge of agreeing she hurriedly said, " Don..Don\'t I am telling you something scary is down there, please listen to me I am doing this for you all good——"

" Would you like shut the f*ck up?" Shi Caihong showed her hand to Mei Xing as she shot her an annoyed expression. " We all know that you are only doing it for your own good, you are scared that\'s why you want to go back but you are making it sound so novel, you don\'t have to worry about us…we are almost eighteen, we don\'t need you to worry about us okay? So, if you understand just zip that trashy mouth of yours."

Mei Xing turned silent as she looked at Shi Caihong before taking a deep breath as she clenched the bracelet on her wrist and silently said, " You will regret this."

" The only thing that I regret is bringing someone like you on this trip with us," sneered Shi Caihong as she looked at Tao Guotin who was still holding Mei Xing by her waist. She rolled her eyes and turned around to walk down the stairs. " The next time you want to bring that scaredy cat then do me a favour and don\'t call me."
