Chapter 140: Good Luck Comes If You Remain Optimistic
The next morning, Su Ming went to the Magic Association. The old principal's card was in the principal's office, where it was safe and no one would steal it.
As for why I came to the Magic Association, it's mainly because I was so focused on awakening magic and buying potions yesterday that I completely forgot about Jiang Shaoxu.
The old principal said Han Ji might know, so he asked him to come over, and Han Ji did.
Speaking of Han Ji, he couldn't say he was very familiar with Han Ji; they had probably only met a few times.
Su Ming went to find him, only to be told that Han Ji did not see people without appointments, and that all appointments for the day were full, so he could not see him.
This is normal. Su Ming was able to meet Han Ji, who is the president of the Magic Association and cannot be met casually. He only met him before because of some special circumstances.
It was expected that he wouldn't see him, and he didn't plan to stay here anyway. He could see Jiang Shaoxu anytime, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now he had to go to the ancient tomb.
Without supervision, one must rely on self-discipline. Su Ming felt he was relatively self-disciplined, after all, he had promised Jiu You, and he needed to keep his word.
"Are you Su Ming?" someone suddenly called out to Su Ming as he was leaving.
Moreover, there was a hint of disbelief in his tone, but that's normal, since he disappeared for three years and his sudden reappearance would definitely surprise familiar people.
Su Ming looked at the person and felt that he was familiar with him, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"What are you doing here?" the other person asked. "Oh, I'm looking for Chairman Han, but I can't get in without an appointment, so I'm about to leave now." Su Ming recognized him; this person was Lu Huan. No wonder he seemed so familiar. This was the number one person in the ancient capital, the chief of the ancient capital's Imperial Guard, a fierce man who could even kill monarch-level creatures.
It's incredibly difficult not to know them, since online discussions about ancient capitals inevitably involve Lu Huan and Han Ji.
"Oh, okay? Then come in with me for a moment," Lu Huan said.
"Oh, oh." Su Ming obediently followed behind Lu Huan. With Lu Huan leading the way, no one would stop him, and he successfully met Han Ji.
"Oh, isn't this Su Ming? You're still alive! Congratulations! It's been three years. I thought you were dead." Han Ji was pleasantly surprised. Mu Qianjin, that little girl, came to ask him all sorts of questions every day, about either Mu Qiannian or Su Ming, which gave him a bit of a headache.
Well, Su Ming is back, but Mu Qianjin hasn't seen him these past few days.
"I thought I was going to die too. You can talk if you have something to say, but if it's inconvenient, I can go out first," Su Ming said.
Lu Huan's search for Han Ji is definitely not a simple matter; it may involve some secret affair. It's best to avoid hearing about such things, as knowing too much is never a good thing.
Han Ji looked at Lu Huan, who shook her head and said, "It's nothing serious, you can stay here."
Su Ming found a seat and sat down, and Lu Huan sat down as well. He organized his thoughts and said, "Something unexpected happened. We can't contact Jiang Shaotian anymore. We could still reach him an hour after he went in, but after that, there was no news. All the messages we sent went unanswered."
"Even if that person forged a communication stone, it wouldn't work?" Han Ji's expression changed slightly. This was a communication stone that he had gone to great lengths to obtain, but because of his and Lu Huan's status, they couldn't inspect it themselves, so they had to find the Forbidden City Army.
After much effort, they finally managed to invite Jiang Shaotian, who was nominally affiliated with the Forbidden Army, to come over.
The other party is a supreme expert in the super-level realm, stronger than him, and on par with Lu Huan. There are very few people like him in the country. I never expected that even such a person would disappear.
"Is it confirmed that he's dead?" Han Ji asked in a low voice. "No, not yet. Jiang Shaotian sent back some new information. Once inside, you enter a state of weightlessness, and then you can't see anything around you, it's pitch black, no matter how far you go. The last thing they said was that they saw a light, and the disappearance is probably because of that." Lu Huan said, he had changed his previous opinion and no longer recommended doing anything to this ancient tomb, even if it might cause some disaster.
No one who went in has ever come out. Now that Jiang Shaotian has disappeared, they are unable to take any action and can only wait for the ancient tomb to change on its own. Although it is somewhat infuriating, Lu Huan thinks it is good that the ancient tomb remains silent, even if the people inside cannot come out.
Su Ming listened attentively from the side. He roughly understood what they were talking about. They were discussing the Tomb of the Dead, which happened to be the place Su Ming was going to. You really are lucky to have met Lu Huan.
He can also obtain all sorts of illicit information.
"It's pitch black. At first glance, it seems very useful, but in reality, it's useless. That's about it. I understand the situation. I'll think of another way." Han Ji rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled. He looked at Su Ming and asked, "Is there something you need from me?"
"Jiang Shaoxu," Su Ming said. "I learned from the former principal that Jiang Shaoxu is looking for me, but I can't contact her right now. The former principal said that Chairman Han might know something, so he asked me to come and ask her."
Jiang Shaoxu? Han Ji was slightly stunned. The name sounded like someone from the Jiang family, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
Lu Huan then said, "The youngest girl in the third generation of the Jiang family, she acted with Jiang Shaotian, but she's never been here before, so it's normal that you don't remember her."
"I see. Since you were with Jiang Shaotian, you must have gone to the ancient tomb," Han Jihuan said.
"If that's the case, then she went to the ancient tomb, which means she's gone missing," Han Ji said slowly.
"He's missing," Su Ming blinked. Actually, he wasn't too worried. After all, they had talked about Jiang Shaotian before. Just hearing the name made him sound very impressive, and he was also Jiang Shaotian's brother. This meant that he should be alright. Su Ming had previously thought that Jiang Shaotian was just a coincidence with that name, but he didn't expect that it was actually related to Jiang Shaoxu and that he was her brother.
Speaking of disappearances, Su Ming will also be entering the ancient tomb later, and he will also disappear, which makes him somewhat uneasy.
But thinking that there was no reason for Jiuyou to send him to his death, which would mean that the rescue would have been in vain, he felt much better.
This operation isn't that dangerous; I don't think I'll die.
"I understand," Su Ming said, standing up to leave.
Han Ji's voice made him stop, and Su Ming turned around with some confusion.
"You want to go to the ancient tomb to find Jiang Shaoxu?" Han Ji hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Pretty much. Even without the Jiang Shaoxu incident, I would still go to the ancient tomb. This was a decision I made a long time ago, not something I just decided," Su Ming said with a smile.
All we can do now is laugh. We must always be optimistic, for optimism brings good luck.
