Reborn As Super Heiress

Huo Sining’s mouth twitched. She truly didn’t know how to teach children, especially when looking at Qibao with his chest puffed out, a face full of ’I’m very capable’. She really didn’t know how to proceed.

With a helpless sigh, she could only nod and dryly say, ”There are always people stronger than you, and skies beyond the skies. In short, be careful and don’t let anyone find out. That Fujiwara Seiho is very sinister, if he finds out this was your doing, he definitely won’t let it go!”

Qibao waved his hand nonchalantly at Huo Sining and said, ”I know, that’s not the main point. Sister, the reason I just asked you about that Fujiwara Seiho was to tell you that when I was in the Magic Capital, that Fujiwara Seiho seemed to be there too!”

Huo Sining was taken aback, then realized something, her heart tightened, and she urgently asked, ”He went to the Magic Capital? How did you know?”

Qibao chuckled: ”Just a few days ago, while I placed the Centipede Gu on that Dongyang guy, I also scattered some Thousand-Mile Guider powder. So as soon as he entered my turf, I sensed it!”

Huo Sining was anxious. She had made Gao Yuyuan’s group on the sea half-dead, and when back in Jingdu, Gao Yuyuan and his deputy directly died. The remaining people were either crippled or unusable, with news stories being sensationalized, leaving the East Ocean Police Bureau clueless and unable to find anything. This grudge, Fujiwara Seiho definitely won’t fail to avenge.

Therefore, Huo Sining suspected that Fujiwara Seiho might have hastily come from Dongyang to the Magic Capital to thoroughly investigate Gao Yuyuan’s humiliating case.

Gao Yuyuan went to the high seas for the Medicine King Cauldron, and after the fishing boat incident, the key figure, the Oil Rat, disappeared. Fujiwara Seiho would definitely focus on the Oil Rat as his target right away, that’s beyond doubt!

The Oil Rat was detained in the Magic Capital, and with Fujiwara Seiho’s extensive connections, he likely discovered the Oil Rat’s hiding place, so he came to the Magic Capital to investigate. But he absolutely didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived, Huo Sining and Zhou Shitao would swiftly pull the Oil Rat from the police station, leaving Fujiwara Seiho at a loss!

But clearly, this isn’t a good thing. Fujiwara Seiho himself is interested in the Luofu Mountain Ancient Tomb. If, after hitting a dead end, he learns that the Oil Rat led an archaeological team to Huicheng, he might recklessly venture into the ancient tomb.

If his interest is simply in the Shark Silk Mermaid Cream or other items, that’s manageable. But if his true aim is the half-mermaid trapped in the tomb, then it’ll be disastrous!

Thinking of this, Huo Sining’s expression turned sharp, and forgetting the rest, she immediately said:

”Today, the archaeological team worked all day, so Mr. Zhou asked everyone to camp in place and rest. There will definitely be guards at the Auricle Chamber, but these team members will sleep deeply. Tonight we act, quickly transferring the half-mermaid out and should not let it stay in that prison cell anymore!”

Qibao patted his small chest and nodded: ”No problem, we don’t have to go through the Auricle Chamber or the ancient tomb passage that sister mentioned. We’ll go directly through the thickest part of the rock layers in the back mountains; I’ll lead you in!”

Huo Sining had previously seen Qibao use his Rock Spirit Pearl’s Spiritual Energy, but at most, it was just allowing the little guy to purify the flaws in jadeite and diamonds. Beyond that, she hadn’t let him exert more.

Thus, Huo Sining was somewhat doubtful about the little guy’s confident words, not knowing whether he was truly reliable.

Yet in such circumstances, she really could only ask for Qibao’s help. No one else had the capability, nor were they trustworthy.

Because Gu Xu and Qibao suddenly visited, Su Qingqing voluntarily relocated from the tent meant for two to another tent, squeezing in with the other female archeologists.

On Huo Sining’s side, Gu Xu and Huo Sining also went to bed early, but this little guy, Qibao, had things on his mind, preventing him from fully falling asleep. Thinking about showcasing his skills in front of Huo Sining and Gu Xu later, the little guy felt somewhat excited. Coupled with suddenly camping outdoors, feeling uneasy with the unfamiliar bed, he tossed and turned to no avail.

Originally, Huo Sining set an alarm for two in the morning. Two or three o’clock is when people sleep the soundest, making this time the safest for action.

But before it reached two o’clock, the already light-sleeping Qibao suddenly jumped up from the bed, his gaze tightly fixed in a certain direction, as if confirming something.

The little guy groped for a jar in his hand, seemingly searching for something, and once he confirmed a matter, his expression instantly became serious and tense. Quickly uncovering the blankets, he scrambled off the air mattress, rushed over to Huo Sining’s side in a few strides, and urgently whispered while shaking Huo Sining:

”Sister, sister, wake up, quickly wake up!”

Huo Sining was sleepy and fuzzy, upon hearing Qibao’s voice, she hurriedly opened her eyes and asked, ”Qibao, what’s up? If you need to use the restroom, have your brother-in-law accompany you...”

Qibao became instantly annoyed: ”No, it’s the Thousand-Mile Guider, I sensed its presence. It’s that Dongyang guy, he came, he really pursued us here!”

Upon hearing Qibao’s words, Huo Sining’s mind buzzed, and her previously muddled brain instantly cleared up, sitting straight up in bed and gazing seriously at Qibao:

”Are you saying Fujiwara Seiho?”

Qibao nodded.

Huo Sining frowned: ”Are you sure? Could you have mistaken it?”

Qibao shook his head: ”The Mother Gu is here; it’s indeed the response from the Sub Gu I placed on Fujiwara Seiho. That person is here, and he’s getting closer to us. I sense he’ll be at the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour!”

Huo Sining immediately grew anxious. Gu Xu also heard Qibao’s words, and the moment was urgent. The three hastily dressed in their night gear and stealthily headed towards the ancient tomb.

As Huo Sining anticipated, at the tomb passage, there was a line densely staffed with guards, not even a fly could pass through.

Huo Sining and them intentionally evaded the patrol team, taking a long detour to arrive at the mountain’s other side.

Since earlier Huo Sining and Zhou Shitao had visited this area, they knew the sunward side of the mountain was all rock layers. There’s simply no worry about Tomb Robbers or risk-takers coming to dig holes here. Even the archaeological team found these thick rock layers unmanageable, so Director He didn’t assign any guards to patrol here.

This conveniently facilitated Huo Sining and team’s actions. As long as they avoided the armed police on the shaded side, there would basically be no issues.
