  But now, these two people were actually in front of them!

  Chapter 766 - The Astonishing Reasoning Of Helian Wei Wei (Part 1)

  A terrifying mystery had implanted itself into everyone's heart. The disciples of the Ni family wanted to charge toward the jewels, but now they were too frightened to even take another step forward.

  However, to reach deeper into the cemetery, they have to move past this place!

  Ni Biao's expression gloomed. He turned his face toward Ni Feng, expecting her to provide a solution.

  The other exorcists also fixed their gaze on Ni Feng. Ever since the Ni family's Eldest Young Lady impressed them during the gate selection incident last time, they had come to believe that she would know what to do next.

  They had no idea that Ni Feng suggested going through the South Gate because she overheard Helian Wei Wei's words previously.

  As for this time, without any reference, Ni Feng certainly could not make any useful deduction.

  As their stares on her grew deeper, Ni Feng started to feel uneasy. She had never been this embarrassed in her life before. She felt as if something was going to overflow from her eyes, but she held it back firmly and kept her silence.

  When Ni Hu saw this, he quickly stood out to protect his family. "Don't look at my sister like this, she will feel uneasy, which makes it harder for her to come out with a solution. Besides, it was my sister who provided all the ideas along the way, she must be tired." As he was speaking, Ni Hu turned his gaze and spoke directly to Ni Feng, "Sister, are you feeling unwell again? Shall we take a rest?"

  Ni Feng knew the best defense at the moment was having a weak body, so she pressed her forehead with her fingers and nodded slightly.

  Without hesitation, Ni Hu ordered the people to give Ni Feng a seat. Then, he spoke to the exorcists, "Please let my sister have a rest. This incident is very tricky, my sister needs some time to think about it in order to figure out a solution."

  The exorcists were reminded by Ni Hu of Ni Feng's dedication along the journey, so they agreed, "The most important thing now is Young Lady Ni's health, everything else can wait."

  "That's right, health is the most important. Let's take a rest right here." As the exorcists were talking, they sat down on the spot.

  Then, a figure appeared slowly from the entrance they took just now.

  It was Zhuge Yun!

  His arms were stretched as if he was walking in the dark. There was even a piece of cloth covering his eyes!

  "Brother Yun, what are you doing?" The exorcists were all alarmed unlike in the beginning. They were on guard about anything that seemed abnormal

  As he heard the mention of 'Brother Yun', Ni Biao was suddenly startled as if he was electrified. He turned around immediately!

  He was staring at the eight of them as if they were ghosts.

  How is this possible?!

  How are they still alive?!

  The lurking exorcist who was standing at the far end did not expect to see Helian Wei Wei's team again!

  In his heart, these people were supposed to be trapped in an infinite loop. How was it possible for these people to follow themselves tightly behind into the second level?!

  What is happening now?! You said you have taken all their Chinese talismans, did you not? How could they still be alive and even made their way here?! Ni Biao was questioning his subordinate with the expression in his eyes.

  That exorcist could not answer that question and the image of Ni Biao which he saw just now popped into his mind. His expression was blank as if he had lost his soul because he had no idea how these people walked out alive!

  In order to sneak in better, he even disguised himself to make his presence imperceptible. He utilized his advantage and searched their bags all over while they were not paying attention.

  Other than the two foreigners who had no bags with them, he had done a thorough search on everyone. He was also certain that the two foreigners did not possess any Chinese talismans!

  The exorcist panicked. He could not shake his head at Ni Biao in order to keep his identity a secret, instead, he could only communicate with his eyes.

  At the same time, Zhuge Yun heard some noise and pulled down the cloth which was covering his eyes. A smile of relief appeared on his youthful face. "We made it! Brother Wei, we really made it!"

  On the other hand, Helian Wei Wei had long forgone her black cloth, even before Zhuge Yun, not because she heard the noise earlier, but because she had felt some weak light, and she realized that they were not far from the exit.

  Human beings have unlimited possibilities. As long as one has been trained, even without opening their eyes, they could sense a light source.

  After hearing what Zhuge Yun had said, the exorcists were baffled. "What do you mean by 'you guys had made it out for real'? Brother Yun, Xiao Ling, what was the cloth on your face for?"

  Before Zhuge Yun could say anything, Xiao Ling jumped up with excitement to answer, "Brother Wei made us wear these. After we entered the cave, we have been going around in circles continuously, and our Chinese talismans were stolen by someone, so…"

  "What did you say? Your Chinese talismans were stolen? How did you guys make it out alive!" The exorcists interrupted Xiao Ling without allowing him to finish his words.

  Xiao Ling pointed at Helian Wei Wei. "Brother Wei came out with this special idea. He made us cover our eyes with this cloth and continue walking forward all the way."

  "Cover your eyes and walk forward all the way?" The exorcists had never heard of this method before so they revealed a doubtful smile.

  Ni Hu sneered and stared at them coldly. "You walked out of the cave just like that? Who are you trying to trick?"

  Xiao Ling was still young, his face turned red after being teased by them, but his voice was firm, "When you guys first saw us out of the cave, our eyes were all covered by clothes. Besides, we all held the red rope dipped in dog's blood on our hands, which was used to prevent the Qi of Yin from entering our bodies. These were all Brother Wei's idea."

  The exorcists were all shocked by this revelation.

  That was true, they had all witnessed these people coming out with their eyes covered. At first, they thought these people had made something up.

  Now that they thought about it carefully, they all shuddered with surprise. If this was true, whoever came up with this idea was amazing!

  Under normal circ.u.mstances, there were no ways to walk out the illusion of going around in circles without utilizing Chinese talismans.

  However, this guy named Wei had broken the spell perfectly in a dire situation!

  The exorcists were once again amazed!

  Ni Hu obviously did not believe in this, and hence, he commented sarcastically, "So, tell me how did you solve the problem of going around in circles by just covering your eyes? There isn't any basis to justify your reasoning."

  Even if you came out alive, there was no basis to support your theory. You guys were just lucky to make it out, how dare you guys to challenge the Ni family's pride?

  He was eager to see how they would explain their way out of this!

  Chapter 767 - The Astonishing Reasoning Of Helian Wei Wei (Part 2)

  Ni Hu was certain that they were bluffing.

  At this moment, Helian Wei Wei smiled. She strode confidently toward him, eyes glinting coldly. "Honestly, I hate explaining things to id*ots, but since Young Master Ni has asked so nicely, then I shall explain it. How does one walk out of going around in circles with their eyes closed? It's actually really simple, as an exorcist, you should know that ghosts are Yin matter and they are always up to some scheme to harm people. Some create dreams, and some create illusions. Going around in circles is just a classic example of a directional illusion. As long as you close your eyes, this kind of illusion wouldn't stand a chance. Ghosts are intelligent creatures too. Unlike Young Master Ni, unable to use his head to solve his problems."

  "You, you!" Ni Hu was trembling with rage. No m
atter how you see it, this person is obviously calling me st*pid!

  Helian Wei Wei continued to smile at him as she furrowed her brow. "I have already explained it in layman terms. Young Master Ni, don't tell me that you have yet to understand?"

  Listening to this, all the exorcists got what Helian Wei Wei meant. They all made fun of Ni Hu.

  Ni Hu's face paled before he flushed in embarrassment as a result of being laughed at publicly but he still could not find the right words to refute her.

  Just as Helian Wei Wei finished speaking, Old Li exclaimed, "Great!"

  Everyone turned their heads toward him.

  Old Li laughed, "This old man has gotten a little carried away. We used to have a rule in tomb raiding: if we couldn't find a way out after entering a tomb then we just walked out with our eyes closed. When opening a coffin, we have to open it while facing away from it. Up until today, I do not understand these rules, but upon hearing Young Master Wei's words, everything makes so much more sense now! I admit that I do not understand exorcism and their spells but with Young Master Wei's theory, even the common folk can use it when they are in danger. This is brilliant."

  Zhuge Yun did not understand why Brother Wei did not mention about the brainwaves. But then again, if compared to Brother Wei's explanation the first time, this one was way easier to understand.

  After hearing Helian Wei Wei's words, the other exorcists felt as if they faced a bottleneck.

  Whilst practicing exorcism for all these years, they had only relied on spells, but they had never thought deeply about them.

  Now that Helian Wei Wei had sparked their interest, their eyes gleamed with inspiration.

  They were deeply impressed by that display, and nothing could contain or hide their admiration.

  "Little Brother Wei, I have never been so impressed by anyone else. You, my friend, are the first!"

  "Me too, that was genius! Brother Wei, how did you even come up with that? Your mind is brilliant!"

  "Young Master Yun too. Despite his young age, he is so m.a.t.u.r.e!"

  All these comments went through Ni Hu's ears. Since the beginning of time, these praises were reserved for the Ni family. Since when were the others entitled to these praises? It was especially infuriating for Ni Hu when 'the others' include that Zhuge Yun!

  Ni Biao was devastated, he had never thought that his opponent could escape even without a single Chinese talisman.

  It seemed like he had been too soft on them.

  He should have waited until everyone was gone, and he would find a place to bury all of them alive.

  Being the closest to Ni Hu, Ni Biao sensed something unusual about his father, but he did not pay much attention to that. He just wanted these compliments for others to stop. His eyes scanned around and fell upon Ni Feng. He changed the topic without giving it a second thought. He pretended to ask politely, "My honored partners in faith, would you care to lower your voices a little? My sister is still figuring out all these corpses hanging on top of the hall so that we can enter the first level safely. All these commotions would disrupt her thoughts."

  "It's alright, I, coughs, coughs, I'm fine." Ni Feng said, coughing in between her speech. It looked as if it took all her effort to continue. Her brow furrowed as she added, "But I do need some peace and serenity to think this through."

  Everyone was suddenly silent.

  Ever since Xiao Ling made it out safely, he had some suspicions toward the Ni family that he just could not put his finger on. Turning around, he asked, "What is the matter which you need to figure out in silence?"

  The exorcists were silent for a moment, then they pulled him off to one side, pointed at the corpses hanging off the beamed ceiling to him.

  Xiao Ling's face was rapidly drained of color. "What, What happened here? Guo Zi and the rest, they, they are..."

  They all shared the same fear, everyone was guessing in their hearts.

  The tomb fell into a dead silence.

  No one noticed a white flash dashed across a body that Helian Wei Wei was observing. Her eyes were cast down as she seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

  "Brother Wei!" Zhuge Yun has stopped questioning, instead, he said excitedly, "You have found a solution, haven't you?"

  Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly, not saying a word yet.

  "Even my elder sister has yet to figure out this issue. Brother Yun, do you really think that anyone else could have found a solution?" Ni Hu remarked cooly.

  At first, Helian Wei Wei did not plan on saying anything. All she wanted to do was to walk over and take away all the jewels. After all, other than His Highness, she loved money the most.

  Neither Ni Hu nor Ni Feng mattered to her at this point.

  Sadly, there would always be some people standing between her and her riches.

  This started to get on to Helian Wei Wei's nerves. She turned around and lazily pouted, "It is the same matter as choosing the gates. Eldest Young Lady Ni, I just cannot believe you haven't figured it out yet. Hmm, curious."

  Ni Feng did not say anything in return, but only smiled gently. However, her hands, on the other hand, were shuddering under her long sleeves.

  Ni Hu did not know what happened between them, and he scoffed, "What do you mean by that? Brother Wei Wei, you must have been mistaken. Back then, it was my elder sister who chose this path, not you. So, do not speak like a know-it-all."

  "That's right, now that you mention it Young Master Ni. Who was the one who initially chose the right path?" Helian Wei Wei rolled up the Dog Blood Red Rope in her hands.

  "Let's analyze everything properly together. Young Master Ni, do you think that I don't understand this matter? Then listen closely."

  Ni Hu did not pay attention because he was unaware that Ni Feng actually took the credit of Helian Wei Wei. He laughed cooly, "Brother Wei, you have a way with words, I acknowledge that. But if you think that you can take credit for someone else's work with that tongue of yours, then we, the Ni Family, will surely not take that sitting down!"

  This time, Helian Wei Wei ignored him. Instead, she lifted her slender fingers and lazily tapped the two corpses above her. With a calm voice, she said, "I guess everyone has the same concerns as I do. When we see this, the first thing running through our minds would be, 'How did these two dead people reach this place faster than us, and even showing up in front of us in such a bizarre manner?' Right?"

  Chapter 768 - The Shameless Ni Feng Before Her Embarrassment

  "What's so unusual? It was just a corpse movement," Ni Hu said without a care.

  Helian Wei Wei laughed, "Corpse movement? Young Master Ni, have you ever seen a fresh corpse moving faster than a living person? I believe that all the other exorcists present here would agree with me."

  The other did know about that. It was mainly because they knew they could not fathom what was happening.

  As for Ni Hu, the exorcists spared a glance at him. It was about time from him to be thoroughly humiliated.

  Ni Hu also knew that he had embarrassed himself. Stuttering, he said, "So... so what about that? Don't forget, those two bodies have been missing before we left."

  "Young Master Ni has a good memory for these things, but I would like to ask, how fast do they have to be in order to hang themselves on the roof, and in such a position too?" Helian Wei Wei looked back and replied inattentively.

  Ni Hu choked at his words. Even the onlookers started to lose patience at him.

  "Young Master Ni, since you have no idea, can you stop interrupting Brother Wei when he is speaking?" Xiao Ling's words seemed to have created a wave of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e at Ni Hu among the exorcists. Every one of them was irked by Ni Hu's behavior, their eyes showing the contempt they held against him.

  Ni Hu had no choice, even if he was unsatisfied, all he could do then was to shut his mouth, and quickly turned his face to the side.

  Sooner or later, he would definitely return the favor!

  While Ni Hu was enraged, Ni Feng was wise. Heari
ng Helian Wei Wei's words again, something clicked in her mind. She smiled gently and coughed softly, "Actually I have already long figured out what you have said earlier. It's just that I don't know how to put them into words"

  With this remark, Zhuge Yun was furious with his eyes wide, losing his usual calm demeanor!

  How could this person be so shameless!

  Stealing Brother Wei's idea after eavesdropping the first round was already bad enough, but now they are repeating the same stunt again?

  In fact, she was even more shameless this time, from implying subtly to declaring outright that Wei Wei's idea was hers, to begin with.

  "You are not worthy to be the Phoenix Girl!" Zhuge Yun could not bear it any longer and blurted it out. Zhuge Yun's handsome and youthful face was blushing. "You know what you did. If you had not overheard my conversation with Brother Wei, you would not have known which door to enter the tomb. Why did you say that you needed peace and tranquility to think before Brother Wei said anything? Now that Brother Wei has spoken, you claimed that you have thought of it earlier. Young Lady Ni, you do have a funny way of handling things!"

  Facing this kind of interrogation, the tomb sunk into silence.

  "If what Zhuge Yun said is true, doesn't that mean that Young Lady Ni has been stealing ideas from others all along?"

  "This cannot be. There has to be some sort of misunderstanding. Young Lady Ni would never do something so immoral."

  "I think it's impossible too. If it wasn't for Young Lady Ni, we would have long been buried alive in this tomb. Young Lady Ni's health has always been weak, if it wasn't to keep us from danger, she would not even have to rush."

  Hearing all these comments around, Ni Biao realized that there were still plenty of supporters standing on the Ni family's side, hence, he made good use of this opportunity.

  Taking in a long breath, he said, "My elder daughter has her fair share of faults, especially that kind heart of hers. She is too kind for her own good. All she wanted was to get everyone back to the main hall as soon as possible. She didn't even think about the consequences of her actions, I apologize that it might have led to you to misunderstand her notions, sonny."
