Start a mysterious island

"Why did you throw it away? It's an antique after all. If you sell it, it should be worth some money..." Lin Li picked up the antique bronze mirror that Qi Mengdie had thrown on the ground.

"Don't you know the market price of the bronze mirror?" Qi Mengdie asked as she looked at Lin Li who picked up the antique bronze mirror.

"I don't know." Lin Li looked at Qi Mengdie in confusion, waiting for her answer.

Qi Mengdie explained, "There are a lot of such things on the market. Although they are antiques, they are too many in number, so they are not worth much money. There is no need to bring them back from far away."

"Ah?" Lin Li was very surprised. He looked down at the antique bronze mirror in his hand, and then asked Qi Mengdie.

"You said there are a lot of these antiques on the market, what's going on?" Qi Mengdie spread his hands helplessly, "As long as there are some ancient tombs, there will be bronze mirrors buried with them, and the number of buried with them is not small. Over time, the bronze mirrors circulating on the market have become worthless." Lin Li suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but complained, "This bronze mirror is not a fragile item, why are there so many bronze mirrors buried with it? Did people in ancient times love beauty very much?" Qi Mengdie shook her head, "No one knows why people in ancient times would bury many bronze mirrors when they were buried." Lin Li looked down at the simple bronze mirror in his hand again. Although it was not a valuable item, it looked pretty good. It could be placed at home as a decoration, or kept as a gift. "You look like you like this bronze mirror."

"I think the shape of this bronze mirror is very beautiful, and I plan to put it at home as a decoration."

"Since you like it, just put it away. Let's go look for it somewhere else to see if we can find some more relics."

"Yeah."

The two chatted briefly for a few words, and then Lin Li put the ancient bronze mirror in his hand into the mysterious island, and then began to count the spiritual stones in the bronze coffin.

"There are a total of 820 spiritual stones here, and we each have half."

"I didn't do anything, just give me a small amount."

"You can't say that. I was planning to leave this ancient tomb before. If you hadn't persuaded me, how could I find these spiritual stones?"

"Uh... okay!"

Lin Li distributed the spiritual stones, and then the two of them went their separate ways and searched again in the palace.

Every corner was carefully searched, but in the end, no relics were found.

"Did you find anything?" Lin Li met Qi Mengdie and asked.

"I didn't find anything valuable, what about you?" Qi Mengdie asked.

"Same as you."

"It seems there is nothing valuable here."

Lin Li knew that Qi Mengdie came to the ancient tomb to find rare spiritual tools. Although there were some gains at this moment, she didn't find any rare spiritual tools. She must be a little disappointed.

Qi Mengdie noticed that Lin Li's eyes were strange. She knew what was going on at once, and then said nonchalantly.

"You don't have to sympathize with me. It's good enough to survive this trip to the ancient tomb to search for treasures. It's okay if I don't find rare spiritual tools."

Lin Li saw that Qi Mengdie was in a good mood, smiled and nodded, and no longer looked at her with sympathy.

"There is nothing valuable here. Let's leave here next."

"Okay."

The two walked out of the palace and started to return the same way.

In fact, they made some marks along the way, so they would not get lost on the way back.

Footsteps sounded in the quiet tomb passage, and soon, a surprised voice sounded.

"Lin Li, look ahead, it's the exit..."

After the voice fell, the footsteps became hurried, and two figures walked out of the tomb passage.

"Huh?" Lin Li just walked out of the tomb passage and saw a person sitting cross-legged not far away.

"Uncle Lu." Qi Mengdie screamed, her tone full of joy, and she quickly ran to the pale Lu Pengtao.

It turned out to be someone I knew. I thought someone was lying in ambush outside the ancient tomb, ready to reap the benefits... Lin Li saw Qi Mengdie's very excited reaction and muttered in his heart.

"Miss." Lu Pengtao hurriedly stopped practicing and got up from the ground.

"Uncle Lu, you are still alive." Qi Mengdie said happily.

She thought Lu Pengtao was killed when she encountered an accident in the ancient tomb.

Now that she saw that he was still alive, you can imagine how excited she was.

"I almost died in there, but fortunately God blessed me and let me escape by chance." Lu Pengtao recalled the experience in the ancient tomb before, and said with lingering fear.

Then he asked, "Miss, where are the others?"

Qi Mengdie heard the happy expression on her face and immediately became dim.

Lin Li and Qi Mengdie were exploring the ancient tomb before, and encountered some bones scattered on the ground on the way.

Some of the personal belongings that fell not far from the bones were recognized by Qi Mengdie, and thus determined that these remains were her guards.

Lu Pengtao saw Qi Mengdie's gloomy expression, and knew what was going on in his heart. Then he sighed and comforted Qi Mengdie.

"Miss, don't be too sad. It is their honor to sacrifice to protect you."

Lin Li stood not far away and did not disturb the two people who were talking.

It took a lot of time to enter the ancient tomb. The sun in the sky moved to the west. In more than an hour, the sun would set.

"Mr. Lin, thanks to your care, my lady was able to survive. I really can't repay you..."

Through Qi Mengdie's story, Lu Pengtao knew that Lin Li was Qi Mengdie's savior, so he quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

"It's just a piece of cake, don't worry about it..." Lin Li smiled and waved his hand.

This was telling the truth, because he didn't put much effort into protecting Qi Mengdie during the previous visit to the ancient tomb.

Moreover, through Qi Mengdie, he also learned some information about the ancient tomb.

"It's getting late, let's say goodbye." Lin Li said with a smile.

"Lin Li, when you go to Shuanghe City, you must come to me." Qi Mengdie said quickly when he saw Lin Li was leaving.

On the way out just now, the two of them chatted. Lin Li said that he would go to Shuanghe City soon, and Qi Mengdie's home was in Shuanghe City.

"Okay, I will visit you when we get to Shuanghe City." Lin Li nodded with a smile, then turned and left.

The two of them watched Lin Li's retreating figure. They didn't speak until the other party disappeared.

"Miss, Mr. Lin has reached the second level of cultivation at such a young age. He is an extremely rare cultivation genius."

"Yes! Uncle Lu, you used to tell me that there are people outside the world and there is a world outside the world. I didn't think so at the time. Now that I think about my past mentality, it's really ridiculous."

"Miss, don't be discouraged. If you practice hard in the future, it won't be difficult to catch up with Mr. Lin."

"Yes." Qi Mengdie nodded slightly, determined to practice more diligently after returning home.

Lu Pengtao took out a paper map from his arms and turned it over.

He looked at the words recorded on the back and said regretfully.

"It is said that there is a rather rare spiritual weapon in this ancient tomb. Now it seems that the spiritual weapon was probably transferred by Liu Yide."

Qi Mengdie said, "Who would have thought that there is a dangerous wanted criminal hiding in this ancient tomb. I am lucky to be able to come out of the ancient tomb alive now. Nothing else matters."

"Miss, you're right." Lu Pengtao nodded and smiled, then tore the map in his hand into pieces and threw it into the sky.

The pieces of paper were blown around by a gust of wind, like a goddess scattering flowers.

Qi Mengdie and Lu Pengtao stopped and started on their way back.

…

When the sky was dark and there was only the last trace of the sun left in the sky, two figures appeared at the entrance of the ancient tomb.

A tall man, 1.9 meters tall, with a beard on his face.

The other man is short, 1.55 meters tall, with small eyes and a big mouth.

The two men looked fierce and looked like they were not good people at first glance. They were standing at the entrance of the ancient tomb, frowning at the broken tomb door.

"What's going on?" the bearded man said.

"Just go in and take a look and you'll find out." The big-mouthed strong man said casually, and then the two people entered the ancient tomb.

It took a while for the bearded man and the big-mouthed man to arrive at their destination.

The huge palace was silent and there was no sound at all.

"It seems something happened to Liu Yide." The strong man with a beard said.

"..." The big-mouthed strong man remained silent. His face was serious, and it could be seen that he was in a very bad mood.

The two of them entered the silent palace directly without any further hesitation.

When they saw that the bronze coffin deep in the palace was open, their hearts sank to the bottom.

"Tap, step, step..."

With rapid footsteps, the two people quickly came to the bronze coffin and looked inside.

"Damn it, the bronze mirror is gone." The bearded man said angrily.

“This is to be expected and now is not the time to be angry.

We have to understand what happened here as quickly as possible, and then find the lost bronze mirror. "The big-mouthed strong man said very calmly.

The bearded man looked at the empty palace and said depressedly, "Liu Yide was killed. There are no clear clues at the scene. How can we find the lost bronze mirror?"

The big-mouthed man raised his hand to signal his companion to calm down. He closed his eyes and meditated. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and spoke.

"Liu Yide was not killed so easily. He is definitely still alive now."

The bearded man frowned and said, "Why are you so sure Liu Yide is still alive?"

The big-mouthed man told a secret about Liu Yide's life-saving method.

"It turns out that the person hiding here is one of his clones. No wonder he was so confident before that he was willing to trade only if we prepared items of equal value. He was not afraid of us taking advantage of him..." The strong man with a beard suddenly realized.

"Next, I will report this matter. When I find Liu Yide, I can learn from his mouth what happened before, and then go get the bronze mirror back." The big-mouthed man said.

Afterwards, the two men with fierce looks left the ancient tomb, entered the woods under the setting sun, and disappeared without a trace.

Blue Star, Rongxi Primary School.

As the sun sets and school is over, many parents are standing at the school gate looking forward to it.

Across the street, there was a luxury sports car parked on the side of the road, attracting the attention of many people.

The car door opened, and a handsome man got out of the luxurious sports car. He was holding a large bouquet of bright roses in his hands.

"Wow." Many people couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this scene, because the image of a romantic proposal appeared in everyone's mind.

A white Little Sheep electric car came out of the school. Zhang Xiaohao, who had been waiting for a while, noticed that the target appeared and immediately stepped forward to stop it.

Su Yue saw someone blocking the road and quickly braked. Then she found out it was Zhang Xiaohao and frowned when she saw the other person holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Su Yue, I like you, please be my girlfriend!" Zhang Xiaohao confessed his love and handed out the rose in his hand.

Su Yue's previous polite refusal had already shown her attitude. She didn't expect that the other party would dare to confess so directly, and she was suddenly a little surprised.

The passers-by around did not understand the relationship between the two people at all. They ate the melon with gusto, imagining that the girl would take the rose and the two of them would be together.

"Thank you for your kindness. You are a good person. I am not suitable for you." Su Yue refused.

The melon-eaters did not expect that the handsome and wealthy Zhang Xiaohao would be rejected. They were all surprised and then became even more excited.

Between the two outcomes of acceptance and rejection, rejection is obviously more interesting to the melon-eating crowd. Every melon-eating crowd is looking forward to the next development.

"The first time I saw you, I decided that you were the woman I was destined to be. Please give me a chance to pursue you..."

Zhang Xiaohao looked at Su Yue lovingly, ignoring the words he was rejected a second ago.

"Sorry." Su Yue was firm, then restarted the car and drove around Zhang Xiaohao, driving away in an orderly manner.

"I won't give up." Zhang Xiaohao shouted to Su Yue who was leaving.

"Young man, I'm optimistic about you."

"Come on! As long as you persevere, you will definitely succeed..."

The passers-by around him cheered Zhang Xiaohao up and blurted out various words of encouragement.

"Thank you, everyone." Zhang Xiaohao responded to the passers-by very politely.

In the distance, several teachers and security guards from Rongxi Primary School were whispering.

Obviously, the scene where Su Yue was confessed just now was also seen by these people.

"Very good, the first step is accomplished." Zhang Xiaohao raised the corners of his mouth with a proud smile on his face.

He came to the school gate to stop Su Yue from confessing his love. Being rejected was the outcome that he had long expected.

Zhang Xiaohao did this even though he knew he would be rejected. His main purpose was to spread the matter within the school.

Shape the public opinion environment first, and then gradually shape it. This is Zhang Xiaohao's plan to win over Su Yue.

"Dinglingling..."

The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Zhang Xiaohao, who had a proud smile on his face, heard the ring tone. He walked towards the sports car across the street and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"Mom, why are you calling me?"

"I heard from Xiao Zhang that you asked him to prepare a large bouquet of roses."

"Yes."

"Are you preparing a large bouquet of roses to confess your love to Su Yue?"

"That's right."

"Hey! Why have you become so bold all of a sudden? You were always timid before."

“Because I had figured it out, I decided to give it a try.”
