Capítulo 44

After fiddling around for a while, Xiao Dao took a step back, pointed at the wall, and said, "Give it a kick, it might get covered in mud."

Xue Beifan lifted his leg and asked Xiao Dao, "How much strength do you need?"

Xiao Dao suddenly had a bright idea and wanted to test Xue Beifan's internal strength. "Hmm, all of his internal strength."

Xue Beifan was slightly taken aback and looked at Xiao Dao.

Xiao Dao said seriously, "Yes! Absolutely!"

Xue Beifan smiled and beckoned to Xiao Dao, "Come here."

Xiao Dao quickly stepped back.

Come here.

"What?" Xiao Dao took another step back.

Xue Beifan smiled and reached out to grab the knife.

"Ah!" Xiao Dao exclaimed in surprise. Xue Beifan pulled her to his side, then leaped up and kicked the cliff face...

With a soft "thump," the ground trembled slightly.

The image of Xue Beifan kicking Qiang flashed through Xiao Dao's mind over and over again, and one word popped out uncontrollably—cool!

Upon realizing that she actually found Xue Beifan handsome, Xiao Dao quickly shook her head and patted her ears to get rid of the image, muttering, "I'm going to die!"

Xue Beifan looked at her, both amused and exasperated. "What's wrong with you now?"

Blinking, Xiao Dao came back to his senses and looked at the mountain wall. Wen Si didn't move, and Xue Beifan stood to the side with his hands behind his back.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Dao burst out laughing and pointed at Xue Beifan, "Xue Er, you've really lost face!"

Xue Beifan smiled and told her, "Stand firm."

"Huh?" Xiao Dao was puzzled, then saw Xue Beifan clap his hands lightly, and with a "whoosh" sound...

Xiao Dao quickly dodged to the side, and then looked again—the mountain wall in front of him had cracked and collapsed. Behind the mountain wall, a cave appeared. Looking at the thickness of the rocks, Xiao Dao subconsciously swallowed.

While she was lost in thought, Xue Beifan suddenly stepped forward from behind and gently patted her shoulder, "Are you in the cave?"

"Huh?" Xiao Dao snapped out of her daze, turned around, and came face to face with Xue Beifan, who was quite close to her.

Xue Beifan faced her face to face, eye to eye, and slowly said, "Only 30% was used."

Xiao Dao raised an eyebrow slightly...

Xue Beifan reached out and gently pinched her chin. "If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, and I'll beat them to a pulp."

Xiao Dao stood there, then raised his hand and slapped Xue Beifan's hand away, saying, "Who asked you to stick your neck out?"

Xue Beifan didn't argue with her. He looked at the cave and felt a chilling wind blowing out from inside, so he was about to go in.

Xiao Dao quickly grabbed him, "Wait."

"Are you still waiting?"

Xiao Dao reached out his hand, "Three days!"

"Three days?" Xue Beifan frowned. "Do we have to wait that long?"

Xiao Dao crossed his arms. "It's an old, stuffy container inside. Who knows what's inside? It's too dangerous to go in right away. We need to let it air out for at least three days."

"What if..."

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Dao patted his arm. "If anyone dares to go in, they'll be dead anyway. Don't worry, only I can go in here. Also, I need to prepare some things." After saying that, he strolled back with his hands behind his back.

Although Xue Beifan was anxious, he had no choice but to follow her back. "Are you sure we won't be discovered?"

"No way," Xiao Dao waved his hand.

The two continued walking until they were out of the woods. Xiao Dao tugged at Xue Beifan's sleeve, "Are you still following us?"

Xue Beifan shook his head, "They stopped following us before we left the forest."

Xiao Dao breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out that kicking open the cave had attracted people. Xue Beifan gave Xiao Dao a wink, and Xiao Dao put on another act.

"Sigh..." Xue Beifan sighed as he walked back.

"Don't sigh, it's just a dubious tomb anyway, it's fine to give it to someone else." Xiao Dao's words immediately made Xue Beifan look up, his face beaming. "Really?"

Xiao Dao sneered, "That old nun is quite shrewd!"

Xue Beifan was puzzled as to why she had contacted the old nun, but then he saw Xiao Dao turn around and point to the Xianyun Temple halfway up the mountain, "The entrance should be there!"

"You mean, that old nun is the gatekeeper of this cave, and Xianyun Temple is the gate?" Xue Beifan also found it a coincidence. "It seems we have to investigate this old nun's background."

Xiao Dao swaggered around with his hands behind his back, saying, "Tonight, we'll first secretly investigate the Zhai residence to see what illness the Fourth Young Master Wen has, and then we'll investigate the old nun."

"You're clearly scared, yet you're so enthusiastic. If I didn't know better, I'd really think you're interested in me, always thinking of me..."

Xue Beifan's words made Xiaodao anxious, and he reached out and shoved him over, "Xue Er, how many is this?!" He held up two fingers to show him as he spoke.

Xue Beifan reached out and poked the girl's nose, "You idiot!"

"You're the second oldest! You're the second oldest."

"You're not the second-in-command? Hao Jinfeng is the boss!"
