"This is really disappointing."
Ao Tian watched the figure in white descending from the sky and deliberately let out a belch. This uninvited guest had interrupted his "reunion" with Su Wenxin.
However, being able to approach them silently while they were engaged in battle showed some skill.
"Qing Chen, my friend, I've long admired your reputation." Ao Tian lazily leaned against the wall. "I heard you've been making quite a name for yourself in the archaeological world lately."
The man in white cast a cold glance at him. "Ao Tian, pretending to be foolish for so many years—aren't you tired?"
"Tired? Of course! But if I don't pretend to be foolish, how can I fool those old geezers?" Ao Tian shook his empty wine flask. "They just love to see me like this; it’s quite lively."
Su Wenxin sneered. "So you’re sabotaging my system just for fun?"
"No, no, no." Ao Tian raised a finger. "I'm doing it to test your security system. As a new-age Cultivator, system security is very important, you know."
As he spoke, he pulled out what looked like a handheld gaming device.
"This is... a portable quantum computer?" Su Wenxin narrowed his eyes. "Where did you get this?"
"Taobao," Ao Tian replied seriously. "It was on sale for Double Eleven, and they even threw in a magical artifact pendant. Do you want one... ow!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a spiritual energy whip struck him across the face. Ao Tian barely dodged it, looking aggrieved. "Manager Su, hurting feelings like this?"
"Do you think I would believe you?"
"Believe it or not, that's up to you." Ao Tian's playful demeanor faded, "But there's one thing you must believe— the seal of the ancient ruins is about to break."
The air suddenly became tense.
Qing Chen spoke calmly, "I see. So you deliberately exposed your whereabouts just to convey this message?"
"Smart." Ao Tian gave him a thumbs up, "I knew my friend would see through my intentions right away."
Su Wenxin looked at him, "Get to the point."
"The point is—" Ao Tian was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, "Watch out! Move!"
Boom!
The entire subway station shook violently. A pitch-black crack appeared out of nowhere, emanating a chilling aura.
"So soon?" Ao Tian's game console instantly transformed into an ancient longsword, "I thought we could hold out for another couple of days."
Su Wenxin quickly pulled up data, "The energy fluctuation exceeds the limit; this is... a Spatial Rift?"
"Pretty much." Ao Tian casually slashed through a wave of dark energy, "To put it simply, someone is forcefully opening a passage between the modern world and the ancient one."
Qing Chen's figure flashed as he stood in front of the crack. "So you two are just putting on a show here, waiting for me?"
"Smart," Ao Tian said with a grin. "They say Qing Daoist is as wise as the heavens, and it seems that reputation is well-deserved."
Su Wenxin scoffed. "What exactly is your relationship?"
"Well..." Ao Tian blinked, "let's talk about that later. Right now—"
Countless shadows surged out from the crack.
"Shall we chat after the fight?" Qing Chen suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Ao Tian raised his sword. "How about we wager some drinks and see who can take down more?"
Su Wenxin had already activated her strongest defense. "You two owe me an explanation."
"Of course, of course." Ao Tian looked at the approaching shadows and grinned widely. "But before that... let's have some fun, shall we?"
