Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1387: Mr. Liang Is Injured

Huo Sining was still in her dreams when she heard Qibao shout that someone had entered the ancient tomb, and she immediately woke up, sitting up sharply from bed. She climbed down, put on her clothes, and was about to rush out, intending to wake up Professor Xie and Su Qingqing as well.

But when she had finished dressing and was ready to open the door, Huo Sining sensed something was wrong: “Qibao, how do you know someone went into the ancient tomb?”

Huo Sining looked at Qibao with a strange expression. This little guy had always slept with her in the villa. If someone had indeed entered the tomb, the armed police guarding outside should have been the first to know. But there was no message from them; how did Qibao know?

Qibao raised his head and looked at Huo Sining with an urgent expression: “The Thousand-Mile Guider told me. I actually wanted to tell you yesterday. When I came from the city to the suburbs, I sensed the presence of the Thousand-Mile Guider. But that person was a bit far from me, so I didn’t mention it. I didn’t expect that person to sneak in at night. Now they’ve already entered the ancient tomb.”

Huo Sining abruptly raised her head, knowing exactly who had the Thousand-Mile Guider on them, and she felt a bit panicked. She asked hopefully, “Is this person the Old Granny we met in Chang’an last time?”

Qibao shook his head, looking steadily at Huo Sining: “No, it’s the person you tried to find at the old house in the Imperial Capital last time.”

A roar filled Huo Sining’s mind, and she felt completely blank.

After such a long time, she once again found herself in the same place as Uncle Tong, no, Liang Ruining, and they were so close to each other.

Huo Sining was deeply hesitant. She wanted to see her father, but such an occasion was obviously inappropriate. Liang Ruining had actually sneaked into the graveyard at night. Huo Sining didn’t know what he wanted to do, but in her heart, she already equated Liang Ruining with those tomb robbers.

While Huo Sining was still hesitating, Qibao’s face suddenly changed and he said, “Uh-oh, this person is injured!”

Huo Sining was shocked in her heart and immediately grabbed Qibao’s shoulder: “What did you say? Who’s injured?”

“It’s the person you’re looking for. The Thousand-Mile Guider relies on blood to survive. This person’s injured, and their blood is losing rapidly. The Sub Gu follows the blood flow out, and the sub-worms will decrease gradually, so the signal source I can receive will also decrease.” Qibao explained.

An anxious look instantly appeared in Huo Sining’s eyes. She had countless questions she wanted to ask Liang Ruining, even if he was a tomb robber. But in this situation, she absolutely couldn’t let this person die in vain.

Not having the luxury to ponder further, Huo Sining made a decision almost instantaneously. She recited the Invisibility Spell, quietly opened the door while pulling Qibao along, and tiptoed out of the villa.

They dashed rapidly all the way to the reservoir. Huo Sining then took Qibao down the embankment. Because the ancient tomb involved relics from hundreds of years ago, the Cultural Relics Bureau had set up a cordon around it and had also dispatched several batches of SWAT officers to patrol and guard the perimeter 24/7. So when Huo Sining and Qibao descended the embankment and arrived at the entrance of the tomb, they saw several guards standing around the tomb, vigilantly watching the entrance.

These guards were indeed diligent, but with Huo Sining rendered invisible, she and Qibao passed through as if into an uninhabited realm, blatantly slipping into the tomb’s entrance without anyone sensing anything unusual.

However, Huo Sining was still puzzled. Since the guards hadn’t neglected their duties, how did her father manage to enter the tomb? Moreover, the traps inside the tomb had already been cleared with Heitan’s help, so it shouldn’t be possible for anyone to be injured. How did Liang Ruining get hurt?

With these doubts in mind, Huo Sining followed the corridor she used to enter the tomb during the day. She was cautious, fearing that if she barged in, Liang Ruining might be startled and flee. To prevent this, Huo Sining neither used a flashlight nor turned off the Invisibility Spell, carefully leading Qibao into the tomb.

The tomb was pitch black. Qibao, after all, was just a child and fearful. In the underground ancient tomb, over a hundred years old, with no illumination, the little guy tensed up, gripping Huo Sining’s waist tightly, barely daring to breathe.

While reaching out to comfort Qibao, Huo Sining led the little one toward the main tomb chamber. As they reached the large stone door, they saw light coming from the main chamber, with shadows moving within.

Before her eyes, a bright scene lit up. Huo Sining’s pupils suddenly contracted as she instinctively tightened her grip on Qibao’s arm, signaling him to remain silent.

Upon reaching the stone doorway and seeing the situation inside the main chamber, Huo Sining was taken aback.

In the chamber, there were seven or eight people. The first person Huo Sining noticed was a man sitting on the ground, his entire body thoroughly covered by a black robe. The man pressed one hand against his chest, where blood gushed out, appearing severely injured, just as Qibao had described.

This man was her father.

Huo Sining’s expression tightened, just about to rush up when her gaze swept over, catching sight of two people standing next to her father. She actually recognized them—they were Mr. Huang and Miss Yue, whom she had seen with Li Jun in New York before.

She wasn’t surprised about Mr. Huang, having met him at the Xianyang Yunling Ancient Tomb before. But for Miss Yue to also be here baffled Huo Sining.

To Huo Sining, Miss Yue seemed ladylike, refined and cultivated. How could she be involved with tomb robbers?

“Mr. Huang, Miss Yue, I advise the two of you not to intervene. The commission you seek, I will naturally pay in full after we leave. But this person, you must hand over to us!”

Just as Huo Sining felt perplexed, a voice suddenly came from opposite her.

Huo Sining was shocked in her heart, turning her head abruptly to look at the people standing on the other side.

She then noticed that someone among them held guns aimed directly at Mr. Huang and the others, indicating a standoff.

The person speaking, Huo Sining recognized him as well. It was Fujiwara Seiho, a Dongyang man whom Huo Sining had encountered several times before.

Back at the Yunling Ancient Tomb, Fujiwara Seiho had appeared there, assembling a group of tomb robbers to help him search for something inside. Now, he was here again, which struck Huo Sining as highly unusual.

Huo Sining was quite puzzled since Awa Maru to Yunling Ancient Tomb, plus this underwater Underground Palace, Fujiwara Seiho appeared every time. Once was perhaps excusable, but every time? Something was definitely off!
