He even boldly divided Chi Qingzhou and Chi Qingning into the same group!

The guests: "..."

Chi Qingning was momentarily speechless: "..."

Was the director going crazy today?

He could really use a fast-acting heart tonic too, thank you very much!

Chi Qingzhou, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased, glancing at Chi Qingning.

Such strong and pitiful emotions... Xing Shuangzhan, hurry up and come collect them.

Xing Shuangzhan chuckled. "No rush, when the game starts, his emotions should be even more intense."

Chi Qingzhou's eyes curved into a smile.

Chi Qingning turned around and saw Chi Qingzhou's expression. Reflexively, he flashed a smile, full of energy and cheer, clearly filled with surprise.

Chi Qingzhou was pleased. "You're looking lively, little brother. It's already 5:30. Are you hungry?"

Chi Qingning's smile weakened a bit. "A bit... What about you, second brother?"

Chi Qingzhou hummed. "How about we go earn some money to buy dinner?"

Chi Qingning brightened up. "Okay. Which task do you want to choose, second brother?"

Chi Qingzhou looked at the tasks carefully. "They don't seem too hard. How about we start with the burpees?"

Chi Qingning: "..."

He was starting to wish for an oxygen machine.

Chi Qingzhou didn't get a response for a while and looked at him curiously.

Chi Qingning's smile grew even weaker. "Second brother, I just started exercising, and my stamina isn't that great yet."

Chi Qingzhou understood. "Then let's pick a few easier ones."

Chi Qingning let out a big sigh of relief and gave Chi Qingzhou a smile, which unexpectedly carried a hint of sincere gratitude.

He thought this second brother wouldn't care about his opinion at all, but it turned out that as long as he didn't upset him, his second brother was actually quite accommodating.

Chi Qingning quickly picked a few tasks he could manage, his attitude even more enthusiastic than Chi Qingzhou's.

Chi Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh again.

His little brother was really interesting.

The livestream viewers were laughing too, saying that Chi Qingning really seemed to be scared of the tough challenges.

Little Sweet Plums was feeling even sadder.

[Brother, if you're kidnapped, just blink your eyes, okay!!]

After a lot of hard work, Chi Qingzhou and Chi Qingning were the first to redeem their simple meals and standard rooms. After eating, they ended the livestream and went back to their rooms to freshen up.

Chi Qingning was very considerate, insisting that Chi Qingzhou go first. Chi Qingzhou didn't refuse and grabbed a towel to head into the bathroom.

After washing his face, he was about to dry it when a powerful wave of death energy suddenly exploded from several kilometers away. The familiar, overwhelming pressure caused him to freeze.

Chi Qingzhou lifted his head, a few water droplets sliding down his face and into the collar of his shirt, dampening a small patch of fabric.

He didn't mind the discomfort of the wet collar. Looking out through the small window of the bathroom, beneath the fiery red sunset, he could see the death energy spreading outward, invisible to most people.

Chi Qingzhou's expression grew serious. "Brother Su, is the death energy from the Great Tomb of Jingming Mountain leaking out? This death energy feels the same as yours."

Xing Shuangzhan emerged from the shadows and immediately noticed the damp collar on Chi Qingzhou's shirt.

He gently brushed his fingers over the fabric, placing a bit of ghostly energy beneath the wet fabric to prevent Chi Qingzhou from feeling uncomfortable before lifting his gaze to the window.

After observing for a moment, Xing Shuangzhan raised an eyebrow. "It is indeed the same source of death energy. Someone's making a move at the junction of Yuexi Ridge and Jingming Mountain. The death energy and ghostly energy from the tomb are leaking out."

"Ghostly energy?" Chi Qingzhou murmured. "Why can't I sense the ghostly energy?"

Xing Shuangzhan replied calmly, "One of the two parties involved is a corpse, and their death energy interfered with the death and ghostly energies leaking from the tomb. The death energy has become more active, but the ghostly energy hasn't fully dispersed."

But it was still concentrated within a small area—the ghostly energy from the tomb continued to leak out.

A corpse?

Chi Qingzhou tilted his head and thought for a moment. Could it be his new friend, Luo Huaiyu?

Xing Shuangzhan pinched his collar. "You two haven't even met yet, and already you're friends?"

Chi Qingzhou chuckled softly. "It was bound to happen eventually. But the power from the tomb has been leaking out..."

His beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, the pupils dark like a cold pool.

"This isn't good."

The Great Tomb of Jingming Mountain was essentially Xing Shuangzhan's burial site. Even though Xing Shuangzhan was now outside, the ghostly and death energies remaining inside were still his power.

Chi Qingzhou couldn't recall exactly what plans had been made three years ago, but his goal had always been clear:

He needed to heal Xing Shuangzhan's injuries and ensure that every bit of his power was recovered.

"This is all yours. You can't afford to lose it."

Chi Qingzhou's gaze flickered. He wiped his face roughly, threw the towel aside, and opened the bathroom door to leave.

Chi Qingning, who had been playing on his phone, heard the sound and looked up in confusion. Just as he was about to ask if Chi Qingzhou had forgotten something, he saw him putting on his jacket. His face changed instantly.

He threw his phone aside and stood up in a bit of a panic, his tone unintentional but laced with urgency.

"Second brother, are you leaving now, at this time?"

Chi Qingzhou placed one hand on the door handle, turned back with a slightly hazy smile.

"I have something important to do. When you're done washing up, please let the director know."

Chi Qingzhou's expression made Chi Qingning's eyes widen. He shuddered involuntarily, his face paling immediately.

He didn't dare ask any more questions, simply nodding forcefully to show that he understood.

Chi Qingzhou's smile became a little more pronounced. "Good boy."

He stepped out of the room, casually closing the door behind him. Before he left, his tone turned faintly admonishing.
