I never expected that there would be hidden secrets beneath the Mass Grave! I cautiously followed Xianxian, unsure of where the light source was coming from, but the surroundings felt like a dimly lit room, with the structure visible yet not very clear.
Since arriving in this Underworld, many things have unconsciously strayed from the normal path, so I have actively given up on thinking. Since I can't make sense of it, I might as well categorize it as a supernatural event; after all, I'm no stranger to oddities.
"Xianxian, I want to know everything about Lemon! Everything!" After finding a temporary resting place with Xianxian, I hurriedly pulled him and said.
"Oh? Lemon? Why are you suddenly asking about him?" Xianxian paused for a moment, seemingly caught off guard by my question. After a moment of thought, he nodded in realization and casually sat down in the corner, leaning against the wall with a half-smile as he looked at me. "From what I've gathered so far, I think you are his only friend that I know of."
Although I had heard that Lemon was a solitary person for a long time, hearing this from Xianxian still added a touch of melancholy to my heart. After some hesitation, I couldn't help but ask, "Did he really have no friends before?"
"No." Xianxian nodded and smirked. "He's quite mysterious. To be honest, I used to not believe that he had been working alone for all these years. But after several investigations and clues obtained from other factions, it turns out to be true. I’ve been looking into him for many years; he has no family, no friends, and even no fixed residence—he appears and disappears without a trace. However..." Xianxian raised an eyebrow and said mysteriously, "wherever the graves are most dangerous, there are his footprints, especially in places related to the Demon Clan. Wherever we can trace him, there will always be his shadow!"
"Then he can't possibly have sprung out from a rock!" Just as I finished speaking, I suddenly thought of the man in the tree—the ancient Zongzi who looked exactly like Lemon! I couldn't believe this was just a coincidence; there must be a connection between him and Lemon. But...
Even though I had already considered Xianxian as a brother, I still didn't know his background or specific intentions. I wanted to trust him wholeheartedly, but I didn't dare take that risk...
What a disgrace!
I silently scorned myself: Do you really consider him a brother!?
"Who knows~" In the midst of my thoughts, I heard Xianxian's calm laughter.
I looked at Xianxian, staring into his eyes, really wanting to ask him something. Right now, besides Xianxian, I couldn't trust anyone else. But this secret really...
"Has anyone told you that your gaze is quite blatant and lewd?" Xianxian smirked slightly, revealing a dazzling smile that I found incredibly annoying.
"Get lost!" I turned my eyes away and kicked his calf, then lowered my head and began to ponder again.
Xianxian patted the spot I had kicked and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? Are you on your period?" After saying that, he chuckled softly.
"What the hell! What do you mean by 'on your period'? I'm a man!" I almost shouted in anger. What time is it, and this guy is still making such pointless jokes! And it's not funny at all!
"Then what exactly do you want to say? Stop being so wishy-washy. If you're a man, just be straightforward," Xianxian scoffed at me and said arrogantly, "As long as this Lord Xianxian wants to know, there probably isn't any information in this world that I can't get! As for you..." He looked at me with suspicion, his expression implying: with your recent troubles, what useful information could you possibly have?
"Tch." I looked at him disdainfully and sarcastically said, "Didn't someone want to know where the First Emperor is? How long have you been searching without any luck? Also, that so-called Divine Sign—do you even care whether it's the Cursed Coffin of the Enchanted Tree or some other nonsense? If you wanted to know, why haven't you figured it out yet?"
"Tsk tsk, Fengfeng, why do I feel like you're becoming less and less lovable!" Xianxian grabbed my shoulder and said seriously, "Tell me who made you turn dark. When I see them, I'll make sure they forget their ancestors!"
"Hehehe—" I chuckled awkwardly three times. Looking at his serious expression made me smile involuntarily. After pushing him away, I said slowly, "Isn't it you, Lord Xianxian? Ever since I met you, I've been subtly... infected."
"Nonsense!" Xianxian immediately denied it with a wronged expression. "This Lord would never do such a thing; don't falsely accuse the loyal! You're breaking my heart~~~"
"Alright, alright, enough nonsense. This Lord has important matters to discuss!" Since we're brothers, there should be a chance to trust each other!
Upon hearing that I had something important to say, Xianxian also restrained his aggrieved demeanor. He straightened his clothes slightly and extended a hand in a gesture of invitation while pretending to be serious. "Then please go ahead, my lord."
I couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Taking a deep breath, I looked into his eyes and said seriously, "There's a strange-looking tree up there. You saw it, right?" Seeing Xianxian stroke his chin and nod, I continued, "I accidentally got tied up under the tree and discovered that it hides a big secret!"
"What secret?" Xianxian's eyes lit up as he excitedly asked, "Could it be some priceless treasure?!"
I nodded, then thought for a moment and shook my head, gripping Xianxian's arm tightly. "I saw a person inside the tree!"
Perhaps my expression was too serious. After a moment of surprise, Xianxian hesitantly looked into my eyes and asked, "That person isn't... Lime... is it?"
"Not Lemon. I think it's a genuine ancient person, dressed in traditional clothing and hairstyle, but... that person looks exactly like Lemon!!"
"Exactly like him!?" Xianxian's eyes widened in astonishment. It seemed he didn't know about this. He suddenly grabbed my wrist and asked earnestly, "Who else knows about this?"
"I don't know; I've only told you." I was anxious too. Divine Hand and their group were quite formidable. It's not that I'm self-deprecating, but if even I could discover this clue, it's only a matter of time before Divine Hand or Kong Guayan finds out—they're several times more capable than I am.
"Can you tell me what happened at that time?" Xianxian quickly composed himself. His expression had lost its previous playfulness and now looked very reliable.
"Wait, don't you think this is absurd?" If an ordinary person heard this, they would surely question its authenticity. Yet Xianxian believed me right away without fear of being deceived.
"Of course not! Would my brother recognized by Lord Xianxian lie to me?" Xianxian confidently patted his chest.
Seeing his demeanor didn't seem like he was lying, I couldn't help but smile knowingly. I recounted how I discovered the tree, how I saw the ancient Lemon inside it, and finally how he disappeared. After listening, Xianxian fell silent...
