Chapter 152 Coffin Door's Generosity

Lin Zhao opened the box and took out a communication jade talisman. "This is the token of the Ten Yama Kings. Back then, whether it was the Ten Yama Kings or the Four Judges, they all owed favors to the Coffin Gate. So, they each took out a token."

"As long as you crush the communication jade talisman, you can ask them to repay the favor. Tian Dan was able to summon the Night Wanderer because of this talisman."

"However, I suspect Tian Dan has more than one talisman."

I couldn't help but gasp. "The Coffin Gate is so generous!"

An ordinary mage might never see the true faces of the Ten Yama Kings in their entire life. After death, they might see a clone of the Judge.

The tokens of the Ten Yama Kings are enough to become the treasure of any magic sect. The sect leader might even issue an order that it cannot be used unless in a life-or-death situation.

The Coffin Gate gave such precious things to its disciples for self-defense, and more than one. This alone is enough to prove the Coffin Gate's strength.

I played with the communication talisman for a while, then threw it to Old Liu. "Take it and play with it! See who needs it in the future and give it to them."

Old Liu smiled and put away the jade talisman. I could tell from his smile that he was brewing something bad, but I didn't ask. Old Liu can arrange the trickery himself; he's good at this kind of thing.

I turned to Lin Zhao and said, "Tell me about the Xie family!"

Lin Zhao said, "I observed Xie Yueling for a day and didn't find anything wrong."

"During the charity ball, I even deliberately brought Xie Yueling into contact with the serpent-patterned treasure box, but I didn't find any reaction from the box."

"At the time, Xie Yueling was very interested in the treasure box and wanted to buy it, but I stopped her. Actually, I wanted to see if the treasure box would come looking for her."

An expert knows what's useful with a single move.

If I were in Lin Zhao's position, I would do the same, and I wouldn't stay by Xie Yueling's side that night.

Evil objects need a certain amount of time and opportunity to find people; it doesn't happen immediately. Not guarding the employer is a wise choice.

It's like a hunter setting a trap, they certainly won't squat next to the trap waiting for prey. An unguarded trap can attract prey.

Lin Zhao is a master of traps!

Lin Zhao continued, "I set the time to find you tomorrow morning to see what will happen before dawn?"

The time before dawn is usually when people are most sleepy, and it is also another time, besides Zi Shi (11 PM - 1 AM), when ghosts and monsters erupt.

Lin Zhao said, "The time I agreed with Xie Yueling is coming. Shall we go together?"

I turned to look at Yun Shang, but she shook her head, meaning she didn't want to see Xie Yueling again.

Whether Yun Shang and Xie Yueling were once best friends or just friends, Xie Yueling's actions today were too hurtful. Yun Shang didn't want to see Xie Yueling again.

Lin Zhao saw Yun Shang shake her head and said, "Yun Shang, after you left, Yueling cried, she cried very sadly. She said you were her only friend and didn't want you to risk your life for her."

"Yueling also said that if you go again, she will still send you away. She said she didn't want to see you in danger."

Yun Shang couldn't help but be stunned. I frowned and said, "What else did Xie Yueling say?"

Lin Zhao thought for a while and said, "She also said that she didn't know if she could get Yun Shang's forgiveness in her lifetime. If she really died, she hoped I could bring you a blueberry cake on September 1st next year. That's the anniversary of your ten-year friendship."

"Yueling!" Tears flashed in Yun Shang's eyes. "Li Po, can you take me on this mission?"

"No!" I shook my head. "Now the Liangjie Hall is full of dangers, and the business world needs you to cooperate with Old Liu to compete with the Coffin Gate. I feel more at ease with you in the Liangjie Hall."

There was another reason I didn't want to take Yun Shang. Yun Shang seems calm, but she is easily swayed by emotions. Bringing her on the mission would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Since the trouble hasn't started yet, let's not let it happen.

Wang Butcher also understood my meaning and came forward to put his arm around Yun Shang and comfort her softly. I turned my head to Lin Zhao—I still had another trouble to solve.

Lin Zhao panicked after I stared at him for a few seconds. He avoided my gaze and said in a low voice, "Hall Master, do...do you have something to say?"

"Yes, a big thing!" My voice was gloomy. "The rules of the Liangjie Hall: a mage can care about the employer, can sacrifice their life for the employer, but cannot sleep with the employer. Otherwise..."

I drew out my scimitar and slammed it on the table. "Chop the bird—"

Lin Zhao's face turned green immediately. Wang Butcher slapped me on the head from behind. "Are you trying to die!"

Feng Ruohang also covered her face.

"What are you all doing? Am I wrong?" I was so angry that I was fuming. Women have no resistance to good-looking things. Ye Yang is good-looking, and they all dote on Ye Yang. Now there's Lin Zhao.

Did they want to treat Lin Zhao like a toy boy?

This trend must not grow!
