Chapter 380: Blind (1/2)

Bai Luochu entered the room and closed the door without saying anything. Seeing that there was no further movement coming from Bai Luochu’s room, Pei Rumo left.

After Bai Luochu completed her cultivation session the next morning, she prepared her equipment and waited for Pei Rumo’s call.

By the time the two of them had arrived at the ruins, the sun was hanging high in the sky.

“Let’s complete our investigation as soon as possible.” Pei Rumo suggested and took a step forward.

However, Bai Luochu blocked Pei Rumo before he could walk any further, “I’m afraid that there will be a ton of traps in the ruins. It will be better for me to lead the way.”

“How can I let a lady stand in front of me? You should just follow behind me.” Pei Rumo disagreed with Bai Luochu and walked ahead.

“Now is not the time to fight with one another. Furthermore, there’s no difference between a male and a female in the military. Since I’m better at this, I shall take the lead.”

Without a choice, Pei Rumo obediently followed behind Bai Luochu.

When they entered the ruins, Bai Luochu cut off a small piece of the pillar supporting the structure and weighed it in her hand. She passed it to Pei Rumo, “Look at the material used to build the pillar. Most of the structures in the Cloud Water Nation are made from wood. However, this is made from stone.

Pei Rumo received the piece of rock in Bai Luochu’s hand and discovered that she was right. The pillar was made from stone. “This doesn’t seem to be a peaceful place.”

“Exactly. That’s not all, take a look at this.” Bai Luochu pointed to a brick wall on the other side.

Pei Rumo felt slightly embarrassed. They were behaving like thieves instead of investigators. No, that wasn’t right. After such a long time and the numerous people buried in the ruins, they should be called grave-robbers instead.

Bai Luochu twirled the brick she had sliced off and raised it in front of Pei Rumo, “Take a look at this brick, it’s actually made of rare earth forged in a kiln!”

Pei Rumo didn’t know why Bai Luochu was so knowledgeable and since he knew nothing at all, he nodded and agreed with whatever she said.

The two of them proceeded deeper into the ruins and they eventually ran into a spacious and empty room. Feeling that something wasn’t right, Bai Luochu stopped Pei Rumo from proceeding further.

“What’s wrong?”

“This is the only road that leads to the outside world. With so much space, there are probably many traps here. Wait for me to disable them before doing anything else.” But before she was able to start, she was stopped by Pei Rumo.

“Wait, let’s go together instead.” Pei Rumo then grabbed Bai Luochu’s hand and refused to let go. Seeing that he was not going to let go no matter what, Bai Luochu had no choice but to disarm the traps together with Pei Rumo.
