Chapter 1801: Chapter 412: Dragon Soaring, Phoenix Singing – Centennial Revival (First Update)

The sun was clearly so bright, yet Yun Ya only felt cold.

A cold that penetrated to the bone.

"Miss..." Eighteen ran to her side, looking at Yun Ya’s pale face, worriedly asked.

What happened? Why does Miss look so unwell?

"I’m fine..." Yun Ya murmured, quickening her pace to leave the place.

After many days, Yun Ya finally received a call from Uncle Chang.

"Miss... I have something important to report to you. I can’t explain it over the phone, but I’ll return as soon as possible."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

It seems Uncle Chang encountered a problem. What exactly is this important matter?

From Yunzhou to the Capital City, even at the fastest speed, it takes about a day. Yun Ya received the call in the morning and saw the travel-weary Chang Hong that night.

In a VIP room at Jinjue Club, Chang Hong walked in wearied by his journey, followed by an elderly man in ethnic attire.

"Miss." After many days apart, seeing Yun Ya made Chang Hong very emotional.

"Uncle Chang, thank you for your hard work on this trip." Yun Ya said with a smile as she walked over.

"It’s not hard for Chang Hong to work for Miss."

"Let’s sit down and talk." Yun Ya personally poured tea into the cup in front of Chang Hong, who gulped it down and put the cup down with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Chang Hong cast a wary glance around, and Yun Ya said, "Uncle Chang, rest assured, it’s safe here."

Chang Hong nodded, carefully choosing his words, he began, "I found a tomb raiding expert to explore the tomb. The entrance to the tomb indeed requires four Jade Pendants to piece together to open. But when we placed the pendants, not only did the entrance not open, it activated a trap. Everyone I brought died in the trap. The tomb raider told me before he died that the tomb was built very cleverly, with this being the only entrance. The trap activated because something is still missing."

Yun Ya’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, surprised at the situation, "So what’s missing?"

"That’s the question I was puzzled about. Later, I was saved by this old man. After knowing why I came, he requested to meet you, saying he could answer your questions."

Chang Hong’s gaze fell on the old man who had been behaving very humbly since entering, his head lowered. Suddenly, the old man lifted his gaze, his eyes landing directly on Yun Ya.

Chang Hong discreetly tightened his fist, ready to subdue the old man immediately if he dared to harm Miss.

The old man spoke, in a language that sounded like gibberish, incomprehensible. Yun Ya frowned, pondering, "He means he’s a descendant of Harun’s confidant, arranged by Harun before his death to guard the tomb. He is that confidant’s grandson."

Chang Hong was surprised, "Miss understands Manchu?"

Yun Ya was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t learned it, but strangely, she instinctively understood the old man’s language.

With a faint smile, she replied, "I learned a bit long ago."

"If he’s a guardian of the tomb, then he must know how to open it," Chang Hong said.

Yun Ya thought for a while, "Then what do you want to tell me?"

The old man could understand Chinese; he just couldn’t speak it.

"Who are you, and why do you want to raid the tomb?" The old man asked, his gaze on Yun Ya containing a hint of wariness.

A hundred years have passed, and finally, someone gathered the Jade Pendants to come to the tomb. But is she truly a descendant of the royal family, or does she have other intentions?

"Who am I?" Yun Ya chuckled, "I also want to know who I am."

Immediately, the old man asked, "Where did you get the Jade Pendants?"

"One was left to me by my grandmother, the others... I collected them myself."

The old man fixed his gaze on Yun Ya, "How did you find out about the tomb’s location?"

"I heard it from my grandmother. I meant no harm, just curiosity. If I disturbed the ancestors, I apologize here. I will arrange for a Mage to perform a ritual to calm the spirits of the ancestors."

"Your grandmother? Who was she?" The old man pressed on.

Yun Ya smiled, "My grandmother passed away many years ago. She was just an orphan, I don’t know much else. I remembered it from when I was very young and happened to collect four Jade Pendants, so I wanted to see if the legend was true. If I disturbed the ancestors, please don’t blame me, sir."

"What was your grandmother’s name?"

Yun Ya hesitated for a moment, then said, "My grandmother’s surname was Mu. I’m afraid I can’t disclose more than that."
