Chapter 722: Chapter 725: An Unexpected Encounter in the Cave【Three Updates】

”Another female team member...”

Qin Tian rubbed his head in frustration and said, ”Let me think about it. If push comes to shove, I’ll just have Jin Xing fill in.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian pondered.

Jin Xing was mainly skilled in stealing intelligence and hidden weapons, but her fighting and other aspects were relatively weak. If she really were to participate in the competition, Qin Tian truly wouldn’t be confident.

But if he didn’t let Jin Xing join, then who?

Qin Tian went through all the women he knew who were skilled in martial arts. Apart from the three sisters Mu Yunxi, who else was there?

Meng Yao? No, a little police officer wouldn’t stand a chance against real mercenaries.

Du Qiuniang? No, she was passable with medicine, but otherwise was about as capable as Jin Xing.

Murong Fei? Also no, her leg technique could barely fend off a pervert, let alone be competitive in a match.

So, who else was there?

After wracking his brains, Qin Tian finally thought of a formidable female expert—

Lin Zitong.

Lin Zitong’s martial arts were good, her movement technique was good, and combined with her knowledge in medicine and disguise, overall, she practically had no weaknesses. Moreover, having been immersed in the Yin Chun Sect culture, her spear skills and hidden weapons probably weren’t bad either.

Having traveled the Jiang Hu for so many years, with her rich experience, if she could be recruited into War Dragon, she would undoubtedly be the most potent addition to the team.

Thinking about it, Qin Tian was frankly quite excited.

However, after giving it more thought, he started to have his doubts.

Lin Zitong was currently with the Yin Chun Sect. Convincing her to join War Dragon? That would be incredibly difficult, right?

Besides, even if he wanted to persuade her, he had to find Lin Zitong first. The last time they had parted, he hadn’t even got her phone number. How was he supposed to have a heart-to-heart if he couldn’t find her?

”If War Dragon is to truly dazzle everyone at the grading conference, it would be best to recruit both Mu Yunxi and Lin Zitong. Although the chances are slim, I have to give it a try.”

After some thought, Qin Tian drove directly to the mysterious cave on the outskirts of Beijing that he had visited the day before yesterday.

This was the only chance to find Lin Zitong. She might return to the cave.

Upon arriving at the cave, Qin Tian went straight to the small branch cave he and Lin Zitong had exited together.

Inside that cave, Lin Zitong had taken an iron box and a mysterious ancient tome, ”Jade Girl Palm Technique.”

They had rushed through here last time. If Lin Zitong went back to read the ancient book and found something she didn’t understand, or if she was curious if there were any other treasures in the cave, she would definitely come back to search the place thoroughly.

Moreover, for such a private matter, Lin Zitong definitely would not bring Su Ziyuan along.

Whoosh...

Qin Tian had only taken a few steps inside the cave when he immediately heard the sound of stones rolling inside.

Cautiously taking a few more steps, he saw a bright light within the cave and a beautiful figure searching for something.

That tall silhouette, those long beautiful legs—Qin Tian knew at a glance that Lin Zitong had returned to search for treasures.

”Who’s there?!”

No sooner had Qin Tian stepped a few paces into the cave than the vigilant Lin Zitong spotted him.

”Honey, I knew you’d miss this place and would come back for a date with me, hehe, we meet again.”

Qin Tian didn’t hide, instead, he walked towards Lin Zitong with a smile.

The person who appeared before Qin Tian still had a stranger’s beautiful face—without a doubt, Lin Zitong was using a disguise again.

”Qin Tian?”

Seeing Qin Tian, Lin Zitong straightened up, startled for a moment, ”What are you doing here?”

”What are you doing here?” Qin Tian countered.

”None of your business!”

”You’re my wife, if I don’t take care of you, who will?”

”Don’t give me that nonsense, hmph,” Lin Zitong watched Qin Tian with wary eyes, ”I know why you’re here. Are you trying to find something?”

”Aren’t you also looking for something? Judging by your appearance, you’ve been here for quite some time, haven’t you? How about it, found any treasures yet?”

As he spoke, Qin Tian also began searching the cave.

By now, the cave had been thoroughly searched by Lin Zitong.

A dozen or so incandescent lamps hung on both ends of the wall, illuminating the interior brightly.

Lin Zitong held a small hoe in her hand, apparently preparing to dig into the wall.

”This is my territory, buzz off,” Lin Zitong, seeing that Qin Tian intended to search as well, felt a twinge of worry in her heart and looked at him vigilantly, ”You said you wouldn’t compete with me for things. Last time I let your woman go, you owe me a favor. Leave this place and we’ll call it even.”

What exactly is this ”Jade Girl Palm Technique”? She actually came back looking for something. Could it be that there really is a treasure here?

Qin Tian was curious, his eyes roaming about.

”Don’t look!” Lin Zitong immediately tried to stop him when she saw Qin Tian’s movements and leaped in front of him, stretching out her arms to block his path.

A whiff of fragrance wafted over, and Qin Tian watched Lin Zitong with an amused look, ”Your chest is big enough already, why are you still flaunting it in front of me? Do you want me to measure it for you?”

”Pervert! Get out!” Lin Zitong immediately drew in her chest when she heard this.

After thinking for a bit, Qin Tian’s eyes twinkled as he said to Lin Zitong, ”If you want me to leave this place and not hinder your treasure hunt, we can make a deal, how about that?”

”What kind of deal?” Lin Zitong looked at Qin Tian with suspicion.

”I need a favor from you on my end. If you agree, I’ll leave immediately.”

Qin Tian fixed his gaze on Lin Zitong and continued, ”I have a mercenary team that’s preparing to enter a competition. According to the rules, we must have a female member, and I’m short of one. How about it, will you join us?”

Hearing this, Lin Zitong watched Qin Tian vigilantly and after scrutinizing him for a dozen seconds, she asked with confusion, ”You want me to join you guys and do what?”

”Help me take part in the competition, cough cough, of course, once you’ve joined us, you can’t leave for three years. I need to make that clear to you.”

”Mercenary team...”

Lin Zitong took two steps and sized up Qin Tian carefully. Then, thinking it over, her eyes wandered around the cave again, eventually settling on a hole in the corner that she had just started to dig.

Qin Tian also noticed that hole. It seemed that Lin Zitong wasn’t aimlessly looking for something but had a specific target in mind!

The target was precisely where she had begun digging!

”How about it, do you agree?”

The moment he spoke, Qin Tian knew he had found Lin Zitong’s weak spot, and with his words, he walked toward the hole.

True enough, Lin Zitong hurriedly stepped in front of Qin Tian, her face extremely tense.

”Fine, I agree. Now leave!”

Lin Zitong stiffened her resolve and nodded.

”For the treasure in that hole, right? Whatever’s buried there, you didn’t even think twice before agreeing to me...”

”That’s none of your concern. We have an agreement; now that I’ve agreed, you go first! Stand at the door and keep watch for me!”

”Oh...”
