Chapter 1240 - 1239: Han Shang Also Came with Them to the Ancient Tomb

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239: Han Shang Also Came with Them to the Ancient Tomb

Lay out a broad path that no one can erode, and by then, it’ll be more advantageous to surround the person behind Gong Qingwan.

Gu Tong, having long been exposed to the Honor Seizing mission, could not fail to understand the reasoning behind it. So many bizarre events finally had an explanation!

"But if that’s the case, why didn’t they tell us?" Xia Xi questioned again.

Gu Tong analyzed, saying, "If Gong Qingwan is the target of an S-class mission, then the enormity of the mission becomes even more unknowable, involving a wide range of things. It’s all an unfathomable mystery!"

With the current information, they could only draw the above conclusion. As for other things, they needed to take it one step at a time, slowly probing.

Even if anxious, they still needed to proceed step by step.

Xia Xi hesitated slightly, saying, "Actually... there is a second possibility. Perhaps none of them know who the real enemy is, or can’t say for sure..."

Knowing is not what’s most terrifying.

What’s most terrifying is not knowing!

Complete ignorance...

Because the Academy also couldn’t fathom who the real enemy was, they remained in a deployment stage, which was also a reasonable explanation.

Gu Tong frowned, also agreeing with Xia Xi’s reasoning, saying, "In any case, we’ve concluded that the subsequent events are definitely related to Gong Qingwan. As long as we grasp this clue, we can obtain the final key point!"

"It seems that that’s indeed the case..." It certainly seemed like overthinking. The long-standing problem that had troubled Xia Xi was resolved in just a few sentences, appearing utterly simple.

However...

It is certainly easy to solve, but taking action is the hardest part.

Gu Tong no longer dwelled on this matter, saying, "By the way, there’s another thing. Who are the trainees outside?"

Trainees chasing?

Xia Xi coughed lightly, saying, "If I say they are from the Sicuro Mafia, will you freak out?"

Sicuro Mafia!

Han Shang...

Gu Tong’s spine went cold, almost jumping up. She widened her eyes, saying, "How did you provoke them?"

Xia Xi shrank her neck, saying, "Well... it seems, perhaps, maybe it’s a misunderstanding... Don’t glare at me, well... it’s just that I got the deed to the tomb, and the Sicuro Mafia also wanted it... They even asked the Demon King for it. Last time Han Shang went to see the Demon King, I told you..."

"..." You did say Han Shang went to see Gong Chenli, but you didn’t say he was asking for the deed!

If Gu Tong had known it was like this earlier, she wouldn’t have dared to enter the tomb with Xia Xi!

Damn...

No matter how cautious, I completely forgot about this matter! Indeed, even the wise sometimes make mistakes.

In the past, Han Shang also accompanied them to the Ancient Tomb, proving that the item was necessary for the Sicuro Mafia and very important.

If it weren’t so, how could Han Shang, the small boss of the Sicuro Mafia, risk himself...

However...

If Gu Tong remembered correctly, in the past, their search for the Ancient Tomb should have been in the coming years, so why did it happen earlier...

Could it be the Butterfly Effect!

Xia Xi!

Gu Tong widened her eyes. Right, this girl was holding the deed, and every move she made, the Sicuro Mafia would certainly have complete knowledge of it.

This is like leaving a trail for others to follow!

No wonder Gong Chenli knew there were trainees chasing but didn’t bother about Xia Xi. It’s very likely Gong Chenli had discussed with Han Shang in advance, with Xia Xi leading the way and Sicuro ensuring her safety, and as for the distribution of treasure, it had nothing to do with Gong Chenli.
