Chapter 767: The Astonishing Reasoning Of Helian Wei Wei (Part 2)

Ni Hu was certain that they were bluffing.

At this moment, Helian Wei Wei smiled. She strode confidently toward him, eyes glinting coldly. "Honestly, I hate explaining things to id*ots, but since Young Master Ni has asked so nicely, then I shall explain it. How does one walk out of going around in circles with their eyes closed? It's actually really simple, as an exorcist, you should know that ghosts are Yin matter and they are always up to some scheme to harm people. Some create dreams, and some create illusions. Going around in circles is just a classic example of a directional illusion. As long as you close your eyes, this kind of illusion wouldn't stand a chance. Ghosts are intelligent creatures too. Unlike Young Master Ni, unable to use his head to solve his problems."

"You, you!" Ni Hu was trembling with rage. No matter how you see it, this person is obviously calling me st*pid!

Helian Wei Wei continued to smile at him as she furrowed her brow. "I have already explained it in layman terms. Young Master Ni, don't tell me that you have yet to understand?"

Listening to this, all the exorcists got what Helian Wei Wei meant. They all made fun of Ni Hu.

Ni Hu's face paled before he flushed in embarrassment as a result of being laughed at publicly but he still could not find the right words to refute her.

Just as Helian Wei Wei finished speaking, Old Li exclaimed, "Great!"

Everyone turned their heads toward him.

Old Li laughed, "This old man has gotten a little carried away. We used to have a rule in tomb raiding: if we couldn't find a way out after entering a tomb then we just walked out with our eyes closed. When opening a coffin, we have to open it while facing away from it. Up until today, I do not understand these rules, but upon hearing Young Master Wei's words, everything makes so much more sense now! I admit that I do not understand exorcism and their spells but with Young Master Wei's theory, even the common folk can use it when they are in danger. This is brilliant."

Zhuge Yun did not understand why Brother Wei did not mention about the brainwaves. But then again, if compared to Brother Wei's explanation the first time, this one was way easier to understand.

After hearing Helian Wei Wei's words, the other exorcists felt as if they faced a bottleneck.

Whilst practicing exorcism for all these years, they had only relied on spells, but they had never thought deeply about them.

Now that Helian Wei Wei had sparked their interest, their eyes gleamed with inspiration.

They were deeply impressed by that display, and nothing could contain or hide their admiration.

"Little Brother Wei, I have never been so impressed by anyone else. You, my friend, are the first!"

"Me too, that was genius! Brother Wei, how did you even come up with that? Your mind is brilliant!"

"Young Master Yun too. Despite his young age, he is so mature!"

All these comments went through Ni Hu's ears. Since the beginning of time, these praises were reserved for the Ni family. Since when were the others entitled to these praises? It was especially infuriating for Ni Hu when 'the others' include that Zhuge Yun!

Ni Biao was devastated, he had never thought that his opponent could escape even without a single Chinese talisman.

It seemed like he had been too soft on them.

He should have waited until everyone was gone, and he would find a place to bury all of them alive.

Being the closest to Ni Hu, Ni Biao sensed something unusual about his father, but he did not pay much attention to that. He just wanted these compliments for others to stop. His eyes scanned around and fell upon Ni Feng. He changed the topic without giving it a second thought. He pretended to ask politely, "My honored partners in faith, would you care to lower your voices a little? My sister is still figuring out all these corpses hanging on top of the hall so that we can enter the first level safely. All these commotions would disrupt her thoughts."

"It's alright, I, coughs, coughs, I'm fine." Ni Feng said, coughing in between her speech. It looked as if it took all her effort to continue. Her brow furrowed as she added, "But I do need some peace and serenity to think this through."

Everyone was suddenly silent.

Ever since Xiao Ling made it out safely, he had some suspicions toward the Ni family that he just could not put his finger on. Turning around, he asked, "What is the matter which you need to figure out in silence?"

The exorcists were silent for a moment, then they pulled him off to one side, pointed at the corpses hanging off the beamed ceiling to him.

Xiao Ling's face was rapidly drained of color. "What, What happened here? Guo Zi and the rest, they, they are..."

They all shared the same fear, everyone was guessing in their hearts.

The tomb fell into a dead silence.

No one noticed a white flash dashed across a body that Helian Wei Wei was observing. Her eyes were cast down as she seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

"Brother Wei!" Zhuge Yun has stopped questioning, instead, he said excitedly, "You have found a solution, haven't you?"

Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly, not saying a word yet.

"Even my elder sister has yet to figure out this issue. Brother Yun, do you really think that anyone else could have found a solution?" Ni Hu remarked cooly.

At first, Helian Wei Wei did not plan on saying anything. All she wanted to do was to walk over and take away all the jewels. After all, other than His Highness, she loved money the most.

Neither Ni Hu nor Ni Feng mattered to her at this point.

Sadly, there would always be some people standing between her and her riches.

This started to get on to Helian Wei Wei's nerves. She turned around and lazily pouted, "It is the same matter as choosing the gates. Eldest Young Lady Ni, I just cannot believe you haven't figured it out yet. Hmm, curious."

Ni Feng did not say anything in return, but only smiled gently. However, her hands, on the other hand, were shuddering under her long sleeves.

Ni Hu did not know what happened between them, and he scoffed, "What do you mean by that? Brother Wei Wei, you must have been mistaken. Back then, it was my elder sister who chose this path, not you. So, do not speak like a know-it-all."

"That's right, now that you mention it Young Master Ni. Who was the one who initially chose the right path?" Helian Wei Wei rolled up the Dog Blood Red Rope in her hands.

"Let's analyze everything properly together. Young Master Ni, do you think that I don't understand this matter? Then listen closely."

Ni Hu did not pay attention because he was unaware that Ni Feng actually took the credit of Helian Wei Wei. He laughed cooly, "Brother Wei, you have a way with words, I acknowledge that. But if you think that you can take credit for someone else's work with that tongue of yours, then we, the Ni Family, will surely not take that sitting down!"

This time, Helian Wei Wei ignored him. Instead, she lifted her slender fingers and lazily tapped the two corpses above her. With a calm voice, she said, "I guess everyone has the same concerns as I do. When we see this, the first thing running through our minds would be, 'How did these two dead people reach this place faster than us, and even showing up in front of us in such a bizarre manner?' Right?"
