“Let’s go too.” Qiao Nian pulled up the zipper of her sweater and turned to leave.

However, Ye Wangchuan grabbed her left wrist and stood rooted to the ground. His tone was still the same as before, taking on the personality of Young Master Ye from Beijing, as he asked in a lazy tone, “Are you angry?”

Qiao Nian frowned, not shaking off his hand. “No.”

Ye Wangchuan looked unconvinced.

Qiao Nian rubbed her eyebrows with her other hand. Looking at his hand holding hers, her eyes flickered with emotions. “There were times when I didn’t tell you about things.”

She paused before continuing, “This is your first time.”

This was the first time Ye Wangchuan withheld information from her.

Hence, she felt uncomfortable at first, but on second thought, her anger dissipated.

Qiao Nian had never been pretentious. She could roughly tell that Ye Wangchuan thought she was angry, so she smiled and emphasized with a serious expression on her usually sloppy face. “I’m really not angry. But you have to listen to me later. Be careful. They won’t go easy on me.”

Ye Wangchuan let go of her wrist. His nose was straight and his lips thin.md there seemed to be a small hook in his eyes. “Yes, I’ll listen to Goddess Qiao.”

Qiao Nian looked at him sideways.

He was wearing a long black windbreaker and a high-collared sweater. His well-defined fingers and narrow phoenix eyes made him look like a young master leisurely strolling.

Her head rang, and the string pulled tighter. She tugged at her shoulder bag and said to him, “Let’s go.”

* * *

Many people were participating this time.

Qiao Nian’s number was 36.

Ye Wangchuan’s number was 37.

The two of them were not the last to report.

After that, more than 10 people signed the life and death agreement.

In other words, 50 to 60 people were participating in this treasure hunt. Most of them were muscular men.

Before the participants entered Mingshui Mansion, they had to ask the staff to check if any items were prohibited among the items they brought.

Qiao Nian was at the back.

She raised her bright eyes and glanced at the queue in front. She lowered her voice and said, “Pfft, did you see that? The seven or eight people in front are all mercenaries.”

Ye Wangchuan’s dark eyes were immersed. He did not seem surprised and only smiled. “Yes, it’s quite interesting.”

Qiao Nian glanced at him.

Was this interesting?

Their opponents spent so much money to hire these mercenaries. It was obvious they wouldn’t let them leave Mingshui Mansion today. But in his eyes, this had become ‘interesting’.

Was this not too damn interesting!

However, she was indeed not in a hurry. At least, she wasn’t intimidated by these people.

They didn’t have to wait long before it was their turn.

Ye Wangchuan didn’t bring anything, so he quickly passed the inspection.

Then, it was Qiao Nian’s turn.

The staff said in a businesslike manner, “Please empty your backpack on the table.”

Qiao Nian nimbly put down her bag, unzipped it, and poured the contents onto the table.

A pile of things fell out.

There were headphones, a charger box, a charger cable, and something that looked like an eyeglass box. There were also some messy things. It was impossible to tell what they were used for, but they were within the rules.

She even brought a box of chewing gum.

Stunned, the staff picked up the chewing gum box. Then, he looked up at the girl with a strange gaze and silently put Qiao Nian’s things back into the bag.

Then, he returned the black shoulder bag to the girl.
