Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1224: Am I Someone Important to You???

”I don’t want to see important people die in front of me ever again.”

Xia Xi’s eyes went wide, her jaw almost dropping to the floor. ”Xue Tongtong... are you saying I’m your important person???”

Cold-hearted, ruthless Xue Tong, who killed without even seeing blood, actually said something like that...

If Xia Xi weren’t injured, with her wounds throbbing in pain, she would’ve thought she was dreaming!

Xue Tong answered her with a roll of the eyes, looking completely like ”you talk too much,” then, without another word, pulled down the ”Death” character’s stroke and said coolly, ”Three, two, one, open the door together.”

...

Xia Xi braced her body; the wobbling wasn’t as bad anymore.

The corner of her mouth twitched twice. ”Is Xue Tong some kind of cat? This damn tsundere attribute of hers is really something else...”

The way they opened the door in both lifetimes was exactly the same.

In the last life she at least knew how to coax her; in this life, great, she doesn’t even know how to say a single nice word.

Say you care about this baby, will you die or something!

Really not cute at all.

Student Xia Xi blew her top on the spot.

...

The Death Gate opened.

Gu Tong stepped into the passage of the Death Gate.

The first thing to hit her was a biting chill; the sneakers on her feet were instantly pierced through by the cold wind, and her exposed ankles felt like the wind was drilling right into them.

Sure enough, this was an underground cemetery; it really was freezing.

The tombstones originally had eight graves with inscriptions; if she wasn’t mistaken, this was the underground passage connected to the Life Gate, right beneath those eight tombstones.

The passage for the Death Gate was a bit more interesting—it lay beneath that row of blank steles.

Exactly as Gu Tong had thought.

The Yanggou Village cemetery had over ten thousand burial pits; among them, only eight had words carved on them, the rest were all nameless steles.

According to the map Xia Xi had drawn, the locations lined up in rows; from the orientation, they were divided by arrangement.

Assume Xia Xi is on the left, Gu Tong on the right.

Then the Life Gate is on the left, and the Death Gate on the right.

That was the real reason the two sides were separated into left and right.

If her guess was correct, the passages here should lead under those ten-plus-thousand graves; the total area of the entire Yanggou Village cemetery was the footprint of the old man’s treasure vault.

It really was huge!

To silently and soundlessly build a place to house Treasure in a place like this.

That really was the old man’s skill.

Gu Tong couldn’t help but admire the old master of the Li Family; he truly was a man of extraordinary strategy and arrogance, his capability simply too great. No wonder he’d held such power over the court for so many years, with no one able to surpass him.

Of course, now was not the time to be thinking about these things.

She still had to settle down first and figure out the paths and secrets within the Death Gate.

This time, each of them had prepared a backpack; everything they might need was inside: flashlights, fire sources, tools, Food, medicine, all the necessities and emergency supplies were there.

Gu Tong took out a flashlight, turned it to the brightest setting, and began searching the structure within the Death Gate.

The Death Gate, like the corridor outside, had moss traces on the walls; just by touching it with her fingers, she could feel that the wall inside the door was much older than the corridor walls.

Clearly they were products of two different eras.

One from modern times; the other clearly over a hundred years old. This was getting more and more interesting.

Could it be that the old man robbed someone’s tomb and then used their cemetery as his own treasure storage area?

Gu Tong raised her brows slightly, mulling it over.

”Clack—” Her fingers brushed against the candlestick on the wall, an object identical in structure to the one outside.
