Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 24 Zhang Qiling 23

Wu Xie: "Didn't you keep it from me too?"

"He cares whether you live or die, but I don't care. Let's go together."

Ah Ning glanced at Zhang Qiling, who was walking away, and then at Wu Xie, before giving in.

It's unclear whether Zhang Qiling cares more about his wife's life or his brother's this time.

...

Inside the tent.

Qingyue sat down, and Zhang Qiling poured tea into her water glass.

I just can't understand what's so appealing about such innocence.

Is it simply because he is simple and kind?

Some people will choose to protect Bai when they meet him, while others will choose to drag Bai into the abyss together.

Zhang Qiling is precisely the former.

We only had this brief contact.

Qingyue was completely indifferent to Wuxie. Apart from the fact that he was troublesome and had many problems, she couldn't see any redeeming qualities in him.

"Have some." Zhang Qiling held the water glass to her lips.

Qingyue lowered her head and took a small sip.

"Thinking about innocent things?"

Zhang Qiling understood his wife; whenever she spaced out, she was thinking about him or things around him.

"Hmm..." Qingyue groaned softly.

Zhang Qiling's lips moved, and he opened his mouth slowly.

"I was entrusted by Wu Sansheng to protect him, thinking I would give him a chance. I didn't expect him to be so clean, unlike me. This difference attracted me."

"I went into the tomb with Xia and I fought side by side. When I went into the tomb with others, I was always the first one. Wu Xie was so weak, and Fatty's fighting ability wasn't high either. But when I was injured and in danger, the two of them actually stood in front of me."

"From that moment on, I accepted them. They are my brothers, and I hope to gain Qingqing's approval as well."

Qingyue pondered, but Zhang Qiling wasn't in a hurry for her answer.

She wasn't watching the live stream of Xiao Guan going into the tomb the whole time, so she missed some details.

"I understand. I will observe Wu Xie carefully from now on. Once I see his strengths, I will acknowledge him."

If Wu Xie ultimately fails to gain her approval, it's because of the matter concerning Xiao Guan's brother...

After that, Xiao Guan will no longer accept any requests from anyone when going into tombs; she will personally take Xiao Guan and Black Glasses into the tombs.

If it weren't for the fact that the minor official didn't want her to go into tombs too often, and because of the Nine Gates' plan, which involved the Wang family and put them on a united front, requiring someone to be drawn out, she wouldn't have given anyone the opportunity to scheme against them.

"Thank you, Qingqing." Zhang Qiling hugged her.

"You should thank yourself." Qingyue felt very upset, as a third of her little official's attention had been diverted to someone else.

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes and smiled. His Qingqing was actually very soft-hearted. If he hadn't been getting injured a lot recently while tomb raiding, Qingqing wouldn't have had such a big opinion.

Ultimately, it was his fault; he made Qingqing and Hei Yanjing worry.

Night fell.

Seeing that Qingyue was asleep, Zhang Qiling moved his arm under the pillow.

"Hmm?" Qingyue sensed the movement but didn't open her eyes.

"I'll be right back," Zhang Qiling said softly.

Qingyue nodded, turned over, and made it easier for him to pull his arm out.

Zhang Qiling patted Qingyue after withdrawing his arm, and only left after her breathing had become even.

Upon entering another tent, they found Dingzhu Zhuoma inside. Chen Wenjin, who had been impersonating her daughter-in-law, was not there; she had left.

Not long after they sat down, Wu Xie and Zaxi arrived.

Once everyone was present, Dingzhu Zhuoma spoke.

Zaxi translated: "My grandmother said that Chen Wenjin asked me to give you a message."

As soon as Dingzhu Zhuoma finished speaking, Zaxi immediately followed up: "She said she would wait for you at the Queen Mother of the West Palace, but if you don't arrive within ten days, she will go in by herself. You don't have much time left, so hurry up."

These words surprised Zhang Qiling.

When did she tell you all this?

Zaxi quickly translated the message to his grandmother, Dingzhu Zhuoma.

Fearing she might say too much and make a mistake, Dingzhu Zhuoma refused to answer directly.

Zaxi: "My grandma said that she only passed on the message verbally and knows nothing else. You shouldn't ask any more questions; there are too many people here to hear anything."

Wu Xie was somewhat confused: "Old man, why did Chen Wenjin ask me to go?"

Tashi translated: "She said that thing is among you, so you must be careful."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie exchanged a glance.

Once outside the tent, Dingzhu Zhuoma had nothing more to say to them, and would not answer any further questions.

The two sat down by the fire.

Wu Xie was still muttering to himself, "Why do you think Chen Wenjin specifically sent a message to the two of us?"

Zhang Qiling didn't want to answer; he needed to go back and sleep with his wife.

He got up to leave, but Wu Xie called him back.

"Hey, don't go yet."

"I'll ask you one more time, why did you go through the bronze gate?"

"When did you come out?"

Why don't you contact me?

"And how did you get married?"

Why didn't you tell me?

A string of questions tumbled out of his mouth.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't speak, Wu Xie said somewhat sullenly, "Is there anything you can't say?"

“This is my business, why should I tell you?” Zhang Qiling immediately replied as soon as he finished speaking.

Wu Xie blinked and sighed inwardly, "Yes, this is indeed your business, you didn't need to tell me at all."

"You shouldn't have gotten involved."

Zhang Qiling turned around, glanced at him, and then looked away.

"Your third uncle has already done a lot for you."

"Actually, my request is very simple. I just want to know what's going on, and I'll be satisfied. But no one tells me why. Do you understand the pain of not knowing anything?"

Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie and said, "I know him better than you do."

Wu Xie clicked his tongue, almost forgetting that the person in front of him was an old man with amnesia.

"I'm sorry, I know you also want to remember the past."

Zhang Qiling decided not to say anything more and prepared to return to his tent.

"You have to answer at least one question for me!" Wu Xie interrupted him again.

Zhang Qiling stopped in his tracks.

Wu Xie quickly asked, "What did you see behind the bronze door?"

Zhang Qiling: "The ultimate, the ultimate of all things."

"What is the ultimate?" Wu Xie was completely confused.

It's unclear what made Zhang Qiling think of something, but a smile curved his lips as he turned to look at Wu Xie.

"I'm on your side."

After saying that, Zhang Qiling turned and left.

Wu Xie pondered for a few seconds, took two steps, and shouted at his back.

"Actually, your problem has long been my problem. If the answer to all of this is in the Queen Mother of the West's Palace, then I must follow you."

Zhang Qiling paused for two seconds, listened to what he said, and then quickly left.

No one knows what he was thinking.

Back in the tent, he saw Qingqing still fast asleep. His eyes softened considerably. He hoped that Qingqing would accept Wuxie soon, so that he wouldn't have to hide things from them anymore.

He pulled off his clothes, climbed onto the makeshift bed, and his body was still cool. He didn't immediately pull the person into his arms.
