Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

After getting off the car, Zhang Xiaoyu took her straight into the Hong family's residence. When the Hong family's housekeeper saw Zhang Xiaoyu, he immediately stepped forward to greet her and wanted to tell someone to go find Master Hong, but Zhang Xiaoyu stopped him. He said, "We're here mainly to find Chenpi. He should be here now, right?"

The housekeeper nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the young master and his companions are practicing martial arts in the courtyard now."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to lead the way, and Qiuyue and Zhang Xiaoyu followed.

When she got close, Qiuyue could already hear the sounds of martial arts fighting. She crossed the Lotus Pavilion Road, which was characteristic of the Jiangnan region, and arrived at the Hong family's martial arts courtyard. Qiuyue saw Er Yuehong, who was still handsome in red clothes, and the boy in front of him who was constantly hitting a wooden stake.

Qiuyue's expression gradually became shocked.

Yes, boys.

It was a figure that had begun to take on the size of an adult. If she was not mistaken, it was fourteen-year-old Chenpi.

Er Yuehong was the first to notice their arrival. When she saw Qiuyue, her eyes lit up slightly: "Miss Qiuyue, you, you are back?"

When the boy heard the name Qiuyue, his body froze instantly. He turned around abruptly and when he saw the extremely familiar gorgeous color, he was stunned.

Er Yuehong stepped forward and nodded to Zhang Xiaoyu. "Adjutant Zhang, and Miss Qiuyue, welcome to my place. I'm so sorry I couldn't greet you right away."

Zhang Xiaoyu said succinctly: "No need, we came here mainly because Qiuyue wanted to see Chenpi."

Qiuyue also nodded towards Eryuehong: "Second Master, long time no see, I came to see Chenpi."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the boy standing there in a daze.

The boy had stern eyebrows and a high nose bridge. His eagle-like sharp eyes were dull at the moment. His lips were thin, but inexplicably sexy. His short hair was stuck to his forehead due to sweat, and beads of sweat slid down his face from time to time. He had a tall and straight figure, and he was wearing a thin white vest. His clothes were soaked with sweat, making his strong muscles vaguely visible, and the whole person exuded a sense of ruffian spirit.

"Chenpi? Do you still remember me?"

Qiuyue called out to him softly, and Chenpi seemed to be winding up a machine that had been stagnant for a long time. His eyes turned visibly red, and he strode over to hug her. Zhang Xiaoyu, who had been paying attention, stopped him instantly and said coldly: "You are all sweaty, don't dirty Qiuyue."

Er Yuehong also said, "Go take a shower and change your clothes first. We haven't seen each other for five years. You don't want Miss Qiuyue to have a bad impression of you as soon as you meet, do you?"

Chenpi pursed his lips, hummed, turned around and ran, looking back at Qiuyue from time to time, repeatedly confirming whether she had really returned, his eyes full of unfathomable madness.

As soon as he left, Er Yuehong invited Qiuyue and Zhang Xiaoyu to sit down in the living room. As soon as they sat down, someone came forward to pour them tea.

As soon as the servant left, Er Yuehong couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qiuyue, where have you been these past five years? Not long after you and Adjutant Zhang Shan returned, Master Buddha sent out all his men to look for you. He searched for three months straight, and the whole city of Changsha was in an uproar. Everyone was wondering who you were."

Qiuyue smiled awkwardly: "I, I...I'm busy."

I can't say the system automatically assigned me a mission and sent me back to 1906 while I was taking a nap, can I?

[And the mission was only supposed to last five minutes, but who would have thought that when I returned, it would be five years later. One minute felt like a year. Who could have imagined that?]

system?

Was it the person who issued the mission to her? Or something else?

Zhang Xiaoyu pondered silently, while Er Yuehong listened to the inner voice that he had not heard for five years, his eyes showing a hint of nostalgia and a smile. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying: "Since Miss Qiuyue is reluctant to say more, then I will not ask too much. Will you leave after you come back this time?"

Qiuyue shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

[It's completely uncertain when this system will release the task. We can only find out after it's released. Sigh...]

"If you want to leave, remember to leave a message next time. Otherwise, if you leave without anyone noticing, just like you did last time, I'm afraid the Buddha will turn Changsha upside down again."

Er Yuehong chuckled, and Qiuyue nodded: "Yeah, I think so too."

[Although I don't know if there will be such a mission again, I will definitely leave a message next time, otherwise Zhang Qishan will probably beat me to death.]

Qiuyue recalled Zhang Qishan's horrible look in the morning, as if he wanted to eat her up, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.

Er Yuehong laughed and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu beside him. Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes were always on her with such a gentle expression. You know, Zhang Xiaoyu is famous for being the cold-faced adjutant. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The moonlight that shines on the earth is so beautiful and moving that so many people want to catch it. However, this moonlight itself cannot be retained by the earth. It is not from this world, so how can it be retained?

Zhang Qishan back then, Zhang Xiaoyu now, and the look in his disciple's eyes just now, who knows if Zhang Qishan will also...

Er Yuehong put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Miss Qiuyue, I actually have a question."

Qiuyue blinked: "Second Master, just speak frankly."

"Where did Miss Qiuyue come from? She doesn't look like a local."

Er Yuehong looked at Qiuyue, and Qiuyue said, "I, I'm not from here. I'm from further south."

[That should be fine. After all, my hometown in my world is in the south. I'm not lying, huh!]

"Oh? Then why did Miss Qiuyue come here? Is there any family here?"

Er Yuehong looked curious, as if he was very interested in her life experience.

"I, I originally came here to look for someone, but ended up in the wrong place. As for my family..."

Qiuyue lowered her eyes slightly, her expression somewhat gloomy: "I don't have any family anymore."

I originally wanted to go to the present world, but I ended up in the past world by mistake. Fortunately, I met and saved so many people, which allowed me to stop all the suffering in this world and allow them to live happily.

[As for my family... Two years ago, I was in a car accident and my parents saved me...]

Er Yuehong's heart tightened, and Zhang Xiaoyu raised his hand and gently touched her head.

They didn't dare to imagine how much pain she was in at that time. Her relatives died to save her. What a desperate thing it was for a little girl.

Qiuyue looked up, smiled at Zhang Xiaoyu, shook her head, and her voice became slightly hoarse: "It's okay, they should be very happy that I have what I have now."

"I was rude."

Er Yuehong said apologetically. He originally wanted to find out where this little girl came from, but he didn't expect to hurt her. It was his fault.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside. The three looked over and saw Chenpi, with his hair still dripping with water and wearing clean and tidy clothes, rushing in. His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Qiuyue as soon as he arrived.

"Xiao Chenpi, you're here."

When Qiuyue saw him, she stood up and wanted to take a good look at him, but he hugged her fiercely. The cold water dripping from his hair stimulated Qiuyue's neck, but after feeling him shivering, she raised her hand and patted his back gently: "It's okay, it's okay. What's wrong? What happened to our little Chenpi?"

[Why do all these people like to hug me so much? It's no wonder. After all, I've been missing for five years. They think of me as a close friend, so they must be worried.]

The little girl thought helplessly in her heart, and when she heard this voice that belonged to her five years later, Chenpi hugged her tighter.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the two people hugging each other dimly and pursed his lips. Er Yuehong glanced at him calmly, then looked at the two people hugging each other: "Enough, hugging and hugging, let go of Miss Qiuyue."

Chen Pi finally let go of her hand, his voice hoarse as gravel. His sharp eyes were now red as he looked at the person in front of him: "Sister, where have you been? Didn't you say you would come back to find me?"

Qiuyue felt a little nervous after hearing this, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, Chenpi. It's my fault. Don't be angry. I'm back now. I won't leave."

[At least he shouldn't be leaving for the time being, right...]

Qiuyue felt guilty, so she gave him another ingratiating smile and said, "Chenpi is really good, and he listens to his sister. Look, you've grown so much taller and stronger when we meet again. I almost didn't recognize you. You're taller than me now."

Chen Pi responded in a muffled voice, lowered his eyes to hide the madness in them, and clutched her sleeve tightly with his hand.

My sister shouldn't go back on her word. How could she go back on her word?

Seeing that he was still unhappy, Qiuyue remembered something and turned to look at Eryuehong and said, "Second Master, Chenpi is here. Can I come to see him every day and stay at your place? I'm going to practice drawing talismans. It's quiet here, which is suitable for me to practice."

"Miss Qiuyue wants to come to my Hong family. My Hong family is very welcome. The door of the Hong family is always open to Miss Qiuyue."

Er Yuehong raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile spread across his handsome face, making him look very alluring. For a moment, Qiuyue recalled Li Yuchen. Should they say that they were worthy of being master and disciple, as they were both so alluring?

Zhang Xiaoyu pursed her lips even straighter, feeling somewhat depressed. The Zhang family mansion was very quiet. Why didn't she practice at the Zhang family? This child attracted her so much that she had to come to the Hong family to stay?

Chenpi's originally dark eyes gradually brightened up and looked at Qiuyue.

She wanted to stay at the Hong family because he was here, right?

"Hong'er, when you have a distinguished guest, how can you not call me your father?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside. Er Yuehong was stunned for a moment, then stood up. Qiuyue and the others turned around and saw a dignified and imposing middle-aged man slowly walking in. Er Yuehong hurriedly called out, "Dad."

Qiuyue understood, this was Er Yuehong's father, Master Hong.

Zhang Xiaoyu stood up and said, "Master Hong."

Chen Pi bowed and saluted: "Master."

Qiuyue also quickly followed suit and shouted, "Hello, Master Hong."

Mr. Hong nodded as he looked at Zhang Xiaoyu. When he saw Qiuyue, his eyes lit up slightly. He said, "No need to be polite. This must be Miss Qiuyue, right? If it weren't for you, the amulet of peace, I, Hong, wouldn't be standing here right now. Come and sit down, everyone."

After Master Hong spoke, everyone sat down. Master Hong then asked, "I seemed to hear outside just now that Miss Qiuyue wanted to come to my Hong family?"

Qiuyue nodded and said, "To be honest, Master Hong, Chenpi is my adopted brother. I haven't been able to spend time with him properly during the five years I was missing. Now that I'm back, he's also practicing martial arts with you, so I was thinking about whether I could come visit him every day to make up for the five years I wasn't there. Also, I think your Hong family is a quiet place, suitable for cultivation, so I want to practice drawing talismans here, the same ones you used back then."

When Master Hong heard this, there was no reason for him not to respond: "Great, this is a good thing, Miss Qiuyue, don't worry, the door of my Hong family is wide open to you, Miss Qiuyue, you can come and go whenever you want. I will have someone prepare a room for you at the Hong family. Even if you want to stay at my Hong family, we will welcome you very much."

After saying this, he called the servant over and gave him a few instructions. The servant responded and quickly ran out.

Qiuyue smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Master Hong. When I learn how to draw talismans, I will give you a few more as a thank you for taking care of my Chenpi for so many years."

"That's very polite. Chenpi is my son's apprentice. He is also a good boy. We are all optimistic about him. If the young lady has extra talismans, my Hong family is willing to spend money to buy them. We can't let the young lady suffer any loss."

Master Hong smiled, and Er Yuehong, sitting next to him, nodded and said, "Back then, your talisman saved me and my father, and we haven't thanked you properly yet, Miss Qiuyue. How can we have the nerve to ask you to give it to us? Miss Qiuyue, there's no need to do this."

Seeing this, Qiuyue didn't insist anymore and agreed. Then, she suddenly remembered something, reached into her sleeve, and took out a dozen amulets: "Look at my memory. I still have some on my hand. Master Hong, take them. If you really want to pay, just give it to Chenpi. I'm not short of money."

She stood up to give the amulet to Hong Ye. Hong Ye and Er Yuehong stood up quickly. Chen Pi also stood up after them. Zhang Xiaoyu also felt uncomfortable sitting still, so he stood up as well.

"Since the girl said so, then let's do as she says. Chenpi's family is indeed poor. He is really blessed to have a sister like you."

Mr. Hong took the amulet with both hands and said with emotion, his hands trembling slightly, each of these represents a life.

He still remembered that night five years ago when Zuo Qianzhi's soldiers shot at his back, more than a dozen shots in a row, all hitting his back, but he didn't feel any pain at all. There were only holes in his clothes, and the bullets fell to the ground with a clatter, and the red spots on his hands gradually disappeared. It was like a miracle.

Er Yuehong also showed gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Qiuyue."

Qiuyue waved her hands repeatedly, a little embarrassedly saying: "You don't have to call me Miss Qiuyue all the time, just call me Qiuyue or Yue'er directly."

"Okay, no need to be so polite, just listen to Yue'er. Yue'er, just call me Uncle Hong. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to Uncle Hong. Uncle Hong will do his best to help you."

Master Hong sighed repeatedly and his eyes became extremely kind and loving as he looked at Qiuyue. This little girl was really lovable. She was pretty and had a pure and kind heart. The purity in her eyes was unlike that of people of this era. This really made people soften their hearts.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried. In this era, would such a little girl really be okay?

But he soon came to his senses. The little girl was covered with amulets, so who could hurt her? Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Uncle Hong."

Qiuyue curved her eyebrows, and Eryuehong followed suit: "Yue'er, just call me Eryuehong, no need to call me Second Master."

Qiuyue nodded and shouted obediently.

Chen Pi, standing by, raised his hand and touched his nose, remaining silent. Although he wanted to ask, she called his master's grandmaster Uncle Hong, and was of the same generation as his master. What about him? He was directly demoted to a lower generation, not even a younger brother.

Qiuyue then remembered the tangerine peel beside her and took out five or six more and gave them to him: "This is yours, keep it close to your body for safety. I forgot to give it to you before."

Chenpi took it and couldn't help but smile. Qiuyue saw him smile and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Luckily, fortunately, little Chenpi is easy to coax. I'm the worst at coaxing children.]

The smile on Chen Pi's lips slowly faded and shifted to Zhang Xiaoyu and Er Yuehong's faces.

They sat down and chatted for a while before Zhang Xiaoyu and Qiuyue said goodbye to Mr. Hong and returned to the Zhang family mansion.
