Chapter 333: Ripped Face
the Tiangjige's armory had been stolen, and many weapon blueprints and samples were lost. The Tiangjige made most of its income from weapons manufacturing. The loss of these things would be a huge blo...Qin Luo'yan was also startled. She had been too focused on solving the dragon-head wine pot earlier, and hadn't noticed that her finger had been cut. Only when Li Yun pointed it out did she realize that it must have happened when she was fiddling with the mechanism.
She was oblivious, while Li Yunfan and Li Hai’s eyes both held a strange look. Their gazes were fixed on the lid of the pot, the lid that originally had a white pearl. But now, that pearl had turned a bright crimson red like blood.
They weren't short of people trying to crack the mechanism before, after all, there were plenty of talented individuals in the world. Finding someone who could open the wine flask's mechanism wasn't difficult. However, despite their best efforts, no one managed to succeed. Only Qin Luoyan was able to unlock the flask.
Therefore, they firmly believe that not only is it necessary to solve the mechanism, but also a special method is required.
They hadn't expected it to be blood, not even they.
"Why are you two looking at me like that" Qin Luoyan stared suspiciously at the two of them.
Both of them were startled, quickly hid the shock in their eyes, and then shook their heads and said it was nothing.
Li Hai reached out to grab the lid of the dragon-head wine pot, wanting to see what was inside. The moment his hand touched the lid, a wave of dizziness washed over him. He thought it might just be an illusion, but when he looked at Li Yunfan and Qin Luoyan, their figures were also swaying, and their expressions changed drastically.
"What's happening" Qin Luoyan exclaimed in surprise. Li Yunfan's gaze fell on the lid of the pot, but saw that the pearl on the lid had turned white again. He took the lid from Li Hai's hand and placed it back on the mouth of the pot.
The earth-shattering dizziness vanished in an instant, leaving only a flurry of dust falling from above, proving that what had just happened wasn't an illusion, but a terrifying reality.
All three were still shaken, this cave was a long way from the exit. If the cave really collapsed, they would absolutely never be able to escape alive!
"It seems her blood opened this dragon-head wine jar, and only her blood could open it!" Li Yunfan's heart still couldn't calm down when he spoke this fact.
Deep down, he didn't quite believe in the saying about family destiny, but the High Priest had never been wrong, so he was skeptical until now. It wasn't until this moment that he completely believed it. It turned out that some things were truly destined by fate.
This time, coming to this cave for Geng Jin was a lie. In reality, it was a family order, tasking him with bringing Qin Luo Yan here to test if she could unlock the secret of this wine jar. Who knew, she actually did it!
"What are you talking about My blood" Qin Luoyan wasn't stupid, so when Li Yunfan said this, she naturally guessed a few points, "So, you brought me here, not to marry Gengjin, but for this"
Looking at Qin Luoyan's disappointed and resentful eyes, Li Yunfan really wanted to tell her it wasn't true, but his lips moved, yet he couldn't say it. He didn't want to deceive her! Ever since he realized his true feelings, he didn't want to deceive her anymore!
His silence made Qin Luoyan instantly understand everything. She smiled sarcastically, "It seems that all the affectionate attitudes you've shown me over time were because of this reason. Well, am I still performing to your satisfaction"
Although she had no romantic feelings for Li Yunfan, that didn't mean she would accept being used by others! Yin Qi back then was the same. When she finally let down her guard and accepted him as a friend, a carefully planned conspiracy gave her a deep scar. Now, in Li Yunfan, history is repeating itself. His special treatment of her ultimately boils down to nothing but self-interest.
"You..." Li Yun choked back a sob and said, "Don't laugh like that, please."
He humbled himself, placing his status at the lowest point. As the direct descendant of the prestigious Li family, he showed such deference before a woman without shame. He only desired for Qin Luo Yan to forgive him for his past deception.
Qin Luoyan let out a cold snort, not even glancing at him. Her aloof expression was even more pronounced than before, radiating an air of "keep away". She picked up the pot lid, "Since only I can open this pot, I'm curious to see what secrets lie within."
As Li Yunfan had guessed, when Qin Luoyan lifted the lid of the teapot, the cave remained perfectly silent, with nothing out of the ordinary happening.
Qin Luoyan went up first and peered into the mouth of the pot. Looking from inside out, she found that this jade pot was as crystal clear as a gem, with a faint light emanating from the outside, so she could see clearly what was inside.
With a sense of doubt, she reached into the pot and pulled out an object. It was a sheepskin scroll rolled up like a barrel. She held the scroll in her hand, ready to open it, when Li Hai, who had been silent all along, suddenly snatched the scroll away.
"Miss Qin, please take this parchment scroll for my Li family. Rest assured, our Li family will definitely treat you well. After we get out, I promise you endless riches and glory." Li Hai spoke with confidence, clutching the parchment scroll tightly, and then smiled, "Don't blame me for being unfeeling, Miss Qin. After all, this matter is of great importance to my Li family, and although you will be my Li family's mistress in the future, you are not yet. Please forgive me for this disrespect."
He spoke with conviction, but Qin Luoyan couldn't help but feel anger rising within her. "You keep mentioning the Li family. Since you know I did a great favor for your Li family, why are you going back on your word I may not be your opponent, but asking to see what's written inside is not unreasonable, is it This sheepskin scroll was retrieved by me, and you won't even let me look at it Isn't that too much"
"But you're not yet..." As the head of the Li family, Li Hai seemed unwilling to compromise easily on this matter.
"Not only now, but even in the future, I will never become the mistress of your Li family!" Qin Luo'yan interrupted his words without any hesitation, "Furthermore, if you are only here to uncover the secret of this cave, then I admit defeat. But if you want to open the secrets of other caves, then I'm sorry, if we can't reach an agreement on cooperation, then I'm helpless."
She was betting, betting that there were other such wine jars in the other caves, and that those jars could only be successfully opened with her blood!
Li Hai had not expected that the woman who, from the moment they met, had not given him too many surprises, would at this very moment be so intelligent that it frightened him. In such a short time, she had thought of so many issues. This intelligence alone was enough to qualify her for the role of mistress.
