Zhou Zishu looked down, back to searching the body. While he was removing the armor, a small pouch fell out from the area near the chest. He carefully took it off, and found a sparkling piece of lapis lazuli inside. It was as big as the palm of his hand and meticulously crafted, seemingly engraved with patterns.

He held up a broken piece to examine it under the light, “Lapis?”

There was an “Ah” from Wen Kexing as he took a closer look and received it from the other with both hands, as if he was afraid of breaking it. “No wonder he wore the Golden Armor, I would have done the same if this was in my possession.”

Zhou Zishu was curious at the other man’s serious attitude. “What is it?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Wen Kexing replied, “This looks like one of the five pieces that make up the legendary Lapis Armor… I thought them to be rumors, but seems like they’re real after all. It’s said that once you gather all five pieces, you will rule over the entire pugilist scene in Zhong Yuan no matter who you are. Some say those pieces have the guide to the greatest martial art style hidden within them; some say they hide a map instead, and when you follow the directions it will lead you to the object of your dreams and desires.”

He put it back in Zhou Zishu’s palm somewhat reluctantly, curling the other’s fingers around it. “It’s the good stuff.” He said softly.

Zhou Zishu nodded in understanding, then immediately batting Wen Kexing’s hand away. He put the piece of lapis back into the pouch and carelessly threw it aside to continue searching the Hanged Ghost’s body. After turning the corpse over and over and finding nothing else, he stood up with a frown, “Well, this is troublesome. How do we get out now?”

He stared down upon the still-sitting Wen Kexing, continuing in annoyance, “I’m asking you, Mister “Good Person” Wen! You killed this man way too quickly, do you want us to dig our way out like mice?”

Wen Kexing pointed to the lapis, “You… don’t you want that?”

Zhou Zishu replied with a solemn face, “If the completed piece is made of real lapis then it does worth a fortune, but there is only one part of it here so it’s entirely useless. Not even the pawn shop would take this thing.”

At that, Wen Kexing laughed softly and stood up. He followed Zhou Zishu while asking, “Seeing how cautious Brother Zhou is, why won’t you believe in the rumors? Don’t you have any wishes or desires?”

Zhou Zishu didn’t bother to look back. “There is no such thing as a free lunch; and even you don’t want it yourself, so why must I? Don’t you have desires too, charitable Brother Wen?”
