I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

The three of them came to a secluded corner, and Fang Duobing could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart.

"Li Lianhua, what did you mean by what you just said?" Fang Duobing asked in confusion.

"Since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you, even if it's difficult." Li Xiangyi crossed his arms, looking inscrutable. "What I just said was just the jargon of a local farmer."

"Tomb robber?" Fang Duobing was even more confused.

"It's tomb robbers," Li Xiangyi explained. "When you set out, it's a question of how many years you've been in the business. Which shortcut you took is a question of which faction you belong to."

"Are there factions among tomb robbers?" Fang Duobing widened his eyes.

"Of course," Li Xiangyi explained patiently, "Tomb robbing has a long history and many schools, such as Gilded, Sky-Loud, Mountain-Malted, and Ink-Relic. Each has its own rules and unique skills."

"Then what do you mean by Duhudao?" Fang Duobing asked.

"The Duhu Dao is a sect that started lately. They have no factions and rely solely on their skills to gain access to tombs." Li Xiangyi said, "These people are brave and skilled, but they are often cruel and ruthless. Each of them has a murder case."

"I understand now," Fang Duobing suddenly realized, "So when they asked you if you were carrying the banner, they were asking if you were involved in a murder case."

"You still have some sense," Li Xiangyi nodded. "I said that carrying the golden banner means you are the wanted criminal. With that, they won't dare to provoke us."

"But thirteen years ago, the imperial mausoleum in southern Beijing was robbed, and twenty-three guards were killed," Fang Duobing suddenly remembered something. He pointed at Li Xiangyi and said, "The thief arrogantly left behind four words - the white-handed scholar! The emperor was furious, and his whereabouts have not been found to this day. You are impersonating the white-handed scholar!"

"Don't point at me, you're being disrespectful." Li Xiangyi gently slapped Fang Duobing's hand away.

"I...this case of the scholar with bare hands is a secret order of the imperial court. How did you know about it?" Fang Duobing was speechless for a moment and felt a little exasperated.

"Then do you know why the scholar with bare hands has not been found yet?" Li Xiangyi raised a mysterious smile.

"Why?" Fang Duobing asked stupidly.

"Because he's dead," Li Xiangyi said calmly, "I buried him myself, so I dared to impersonate him."

Fang Duobing was stunned by Li Xiangyi's words. He stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Qiao Wanwan looked at the two of them and smiled gently. She walked over to Li Xiangyi and said softly, "Okay, Huahua, stop teasing him. Let's think about what to do next."

As night fell, the Wei family manor was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The center of the hall was filled with heroes from all walks of life, creating a warm and eerie atmosphere.

The owner of Wei Manor smiled broadly, raised his glass, looked around, and said loudly: "Heroes and heroes, it is a great honor for me to have you all gathered here at Wei Family Manor today! Come, let me toast you all!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response and drank them all in one gulp. After three rounds of drinking, Master Wei put down his glass and glanced at everyone present, finally stopping at Li Xiangyi.

Master Wei stood up, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Senior Sushou Shusheng, I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is truly well-deserved! This junior offers a toast to you!"

Li Xiangyi smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Master Wei, you are too polite. I am just an idler, bringing the younger generation out to see the world."

The owner of Wei Manor's eyes sparkled, and he smiled, "Senior, you are too modest! You are a well-known figure in the martial arts world, and everyone knows you. It is a great honor for our Wei Family Manor to have such a great honor today!"

Manor Master Wei paused, then continued, "Come to think of it, I do have a treasure here, and I'd like you to take a look at it."

After saying this, Master Wei clapped his hands, and two servants came in carrying a tray covered with a red cloth. Master Wei stepped forward and carefully lifted the red cloth. On the tray lay an exquisite jade bottle, the bottle body of which was engraved with exquisite landscape patterns, and it shone brightly under the light.

"This is..." Ding Yuanzi's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Penglai Jade Mountain Bottle?"

"Brother Ding has good eyes!" Master Wei exclaimed, "This is exactly the burial object from King Fangji's tomb—the Penglai Jade Mountain Vase!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted in an uproar. Everyone was talking among themselves, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Master Wei took in everyone's reactions, smiled smugly, and continued, "I'm sure you've all guessed what kind of feast I invited you all to today, right?"

Zhang Qingshi was so excited that he stood up and asked, "Master Wei, could the grand banquet you're hosting this time be the legendary...First-Class Tomb?"

Manor Master Wei laughed heartily and nodded, saying, "Exactly! A first-grade tomb contains countless treasures, including top-level martial arts manuals. What do you all think?"

"Done!" Zhang Qingshi slammed the table and shouted, "So what if it's a first-class tomb? Haven't I been to enough tombs before?"

"Brother Zhang is right!" Ding Yuanzi echoed, "Fortune and honor are achieved through risk. Let's do it!"

Others also expressed their agreement. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very excited, as if they had seen the mountains of gold and silver in the first-class tomb.

Master Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Alright! Since everyone agrees, then it's settled! I've prepared a banquet to welcome you all. Please follow me to the table!"

The banquet was filled with delicacies, fine wines and delicious food. Master Wei raised his glass frequently, and the sound of urging people to drink was endless.

Qiao Wanwan gently squeezed Li Xiangyi's hand. Li Xiangyi understood, turned to look at Fang Duobing and gave him a wink.

Although Fang Duobing was usually a bit reckless, he was also very smart at the critical moment. He immediately understood Li Xiangyi's intention and quietly poured the wine in the cup onto the ground while no one was paying attention.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Xiangyi stood up and said to Master Wei, "Master Wei, my wife can't handle the wine. I'll help her back to her room to rest. Please do as you please."

Master Wei quickly stood up and said, "Senior, please take care. Someone, please take you back to your room!"

"Goodbye, Senior Su Shou!" Ding Yuanzi and others also stood up to see him off.
