Chapter 1487: Chapter 1482: Unusual Movements (Part 1)
A large part of the value of history lies in warning future generations.
After all, humans are forgetful creatures.
If not constantly reminded, who knows when they’ll forget.
The two of them probably spent more than two hours touring the Yuanming Garden, then took a cab to the Great Wall.
The current significance of the Great Wall is to showcase the crystallized wisdom of our ancient laborers, who paid a huge price to build it.
Although today isn’t a major holiday, it’s a weekend.
On weekends, there are plenty of people.
Plus, with nice weather, people from all over the country are eager to visit.
A large portion of them are middle-aged and elderly people.
Many feel exhausted climbing the Great Wall, unable to continue, or can’t go far.
For Lin Xi and Zhu Ying, they had no such feeling.
The two climbed quite far on both sides of the Great Wall, so far that the dense crowds became sparse, only occasionally seeing a guy or girl with a backpack.
Moreover, after finishing one side, they climbed to the other side.
Many people along the way couldn’t help but sigh internally, it’s great to be young—they have such energy and stamina.
Upon seeing the two, young people immediately vowed.
Once back, they must exercise well.
They were out of breath just climbing the Great Wall.
But in truth, exercising wouldn’t get them to that level.
Although it would become easier, that’s for sure.
Along the way, Zhu Ying continuously took selfies and pictures of the scenery and people.
Of course, taking pictures of Lin Xi.
Also asking Lin Xi to take pictures of her.
She greatly admires Lin Xi’s photography skills.
Who would have thought a man would have such great photography skills?
A straight man?
The typical traits of a straight man were absent.
Come to think of it, for someone so shameless who has dated so many girls, his photography skills have surely been honed.
Lin Xi cries injustice.
Practiced?
He honestly has never practiced.
Photography is just that simple, isn’t it?
Find the right angle and it works.
As for software, isn’t that even simpler?
A quick glance and he knows.
If straight men heard him say this, they’d be utterly ashamed.
Why?
They also sought angles!
They also downloaded software!
But still, there was no significant improvement.
Some girls have amazing photography skills.
That’s achieved through countless learning and practice.
Born with talent!
That’s rare!
Or rather, almost never seen.
Lin Xi!
Oh, he’s that kind of person.
For him, there’s nothing curious about it.
Whatever he learns, he picks up incredibly fast.
Moreover, photography is such a simple thing.
They had been climbing for three to four hours and had almost reached the restricted area.
By then, it was afternoon.
Around the Great Wall, they surely wouldn’t eat anything.
Cost wasn’t the issue.
But at scenic spots, there’s a common problem.
Poor sanitation, awful taste, and bad service attitude.
Forget it!
The two took a cab back to prepare for some Peking duck.
Of course, they wouldn’t eat at Quan Jide.
Only foreign tourists go there.
A few years ago, locals would eat at Quan Jide too, but later they found many of Beijing’s old restaurants have better duck than Quan Jide.
Moreover, they learned that local Beijingers don’t eat at Quan Jide.
The people of Huaxia are quite smart in one aspect.
They follow the locals.
Wherever the locals eat, they eat.
Firstly, it’s economical; secondly, locals know what tastes good and what’s just famous in name.
This isn’t meant to disparage Quan Jide, just stating the truth.
This also led to a problem.
The locals resent people from other places.
I just want to eat, and you all sometimes follow me.
Turning my usual places into crowded spots.
It’s too much.
While traveling, they also thought about Lin Yanxia.
Because after today, it would be her fifteenth day in the Secret Realm.
In other words, it’s time for her to return.
As for danger, Zhu Ying could feel some.
But the Lin family said everything was fine, so she didn’t press further.
Besides, that sense of danger wasn’t too strong.
It seemed more like ordinary danger?
She could handle it?
Plus, with so many people and strong experts in there, she should be fine.
That’s what she thought.
However, while they were eating the Peking duck, Zhu Ying’s face suddenly changed.
She felt a sudden, inexplicable tension.
An ominous feeling.
The sense of danger grew much greater in an instant.
Lin Xi immediately noticed Zhu Ying’s expression.
"What’s wrong?" he asked.
It wasn’t the duck, he was sure.
So, something else?
Illness, her expression seemed off.
Zhu Ying stared at Lin Xi, "I suspect Yanxia is in trouble!"
"I now have a very bad premonition, and it’s growing stronger."
Lin Xi didn’t ask further; he stood up immediately, "Let’s go!"
"To the Lin family!"
They left without asking for the bill.
Instead, they informed a waiter and left a stack of RMB on the table.
Yes, it’s definitely enough.
The waiter was a bit stunned.
He couldn’t even call out before they left.
This was the first time he’d seen such a situation.
He immediately walked to the table, picked up the money, and ran to the cashier.
Checked.
Real money!
He and the cashier breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, their faces were gleeful.
The number of hundred-yuan notes was double what the two owed.
So any remaining money should be returned to the customer.
However, when the waiter looked outside, the two had already vanished.
He couldn’t help but say, truly generous!
"Driver, as fast as possible!" Lin Xi told the driver, "Don’t worry about getting points docked!"
Lin Xi took out another stack of RMB and threw it to the front passenger seat.
The driver was completely confused.
What’s going on?
Yet, having roamed the roads for so many years, just a touch of the bills told him they were genuine.
That stack was real.
Immediately, his mind clicked.
The speed shot up.
That stack was at least ten thousand.
With that money, even if he lost twelve points on his license, so what?
At worst, he could find someone online to handle the points.
Excluding that money, he’d still profit greatly.
At the center of the Lin family estate.
Precisely at the entrance to the Secret Realm, that house.
The second, third, fourth, and fifth floors of the house.
Each floor occupied by two people.
Eight in total.
Suddenly, these eight opened their eyes.
They released their senses, felt the Secret Realm, and looked puzzled.
Upon sensing again, their expressions were even more confused.
Because they didn’t find anything different than earlier.
Everything seemed normal.
But just now, the sudden fluctuation was the first in hundreds of years.
What happened?
