Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Compensation? How can we compensate them? Would they even care?"

Ji Qiankun interrupted him dismissively, letting out a cold laugh:

"Wow, I can feel the gaze even from this far away. My son is so capable now, why would he care about a few stinking coins from the Ji family?"

Oh, and that guy named Ito Cheng, he dared to try and bribe my son. Go back and have someone teach him a lesson again.

A young man in Kyoto was lying shirtless on the bed, baring his teeth and showing his grimaces. His back was covered in red welts from the whip.

"Hey sparrow! Hey sparrow!"

"Ouch...hiss, that guy must be cursing me, it must be that bastard Ji Haobo."

That damned young master of the Ji family, running off to an orphanage to be an orphan! He's utterly heartless and has ruined my life!

He is Yi Tengcheng. A couple of days ago, when Yi Laoliu came back, he hung this guy up and gave him a good beating.

Completely bewildered, he was beaten until he cried and wailed. Afterwards, when his father found out why, he personally gave him another beating.

Poor thing, he only heard the reason for the beating from his cousin after the mixed doubles match.

On the other side, Ji Haobo, riding Biaozi, suddenly felt someone watching him. His face immediately turned cold, and he looked sharply into the distance.

Several figures on the mountain ridge naturally came into view, although they were too far away to make out their features.

But he recognized the old man Ji immediately because he still had the figure of a middle-aged man.

Seeing that they seemed to be walking this way, Ji Haobo told Biaozi to stop. He wanted to see what these people were up to.

Now that he has successfully achieved the Golden Core stage, and with the fusion of Yan Shuangying's cards, Ji Haobo is confident that his strength has skyrocketed, and he can now roam freely throughout the world.

When Lao Hu and the others saw him stop, they waited beside him. They also saw the people walking quickly towards them.

Based on the encounter with Elder Ji on their way out, the group guessed that those people might be Bo Ye's family.

After a short while, they became even more certain that the middle-aged man in the lead looked very much like Ji Boda, and the two young men behind him also bore a striking resemblance.

The two stood more than ten meters apart, staring at each other without saying a word, creating a somewhat dull atmosphere. Finally, Ji Haobo broke the silence with his voice.

"Hey! Isn't this Elder Ji? Have you dealt with Itō Tsuyoshi from Kyoto yet?"

In response to his teasing, Old Ji gave a dry laugh with twitching lips, and quickly nodded, saying:

"He's been dealt with. I told Yi Laoliu to go back and hang him up and beat him a few days ago. He's offended my nephew, how could I let him get away with it?"

"Cough...cough cough..."

Ji Haobo was startled by his sudden use of the word "nephew," exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at him with a meaningful expression.

"Old Ji! Although we all share the same surname, I don't have the habit of recognizing relatives. I'm perfectly fine living alone."

But the people around him didn't pay attention to what he was saying at all; that one "Old Ji" almost made them all burst out laughing.

Old Man Ji's face turned red, and he almost spit fire in his eyes. He was so angry that he trembled and cursed loudly.

"Ji Haobo, you bastard, I am your second uncle Ji Chenmu, and the coward next to you is your father Ji Qiankun."

These are your cousins, Ji Haoran and Ji Tianyou. You called me "Old Ji" in front of them? You're truly inhuman!

Ji Haobo remained unmoved, took a drag of smoke, and slowly exhaled.

"Alright, I know why you've come. I've lived a perfectly good life for over twenty years without you.

That means you're not important to me. I have no interest in going to the Ji family, nor do I want to acknowledge any relatives.

Those things mean nothing to me, and don't bother me again, or we won't even be strangers anymore.

His words were very decisive; he was a complete stranger, someone I had no memory of.

After awakening memories of her past life, she had even less expectation for the kinship that had never appeared in this life.

The Ji family members were taken aback by his words and their faces turned grim.

Ji Qiankun, in particular, should have been overjoyed to see his son, whom he had been searching for, right before his eyes, but instead, his heart was breaking.

He desperately wanted to explain that he hadn't abandoned his wife and children back then, but when he opened his mouth, a thousand words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single sentence.

Seeing this, Ji Haoran stepped forward and looked at Ji Haobo, saying in a deep voice:

"Cousin..."

"Wait, please call me Ji Haobo, thank you!"

"Alright! Ji Haobo, I want to tell you that you can harbor resentment towards the Ji family."

But you shouldn't have that with your father. He never gave up looking for you all these years…blah blah blah!

"Clap clap clap... What you said really touched me."

Ji Haobo clapped his hands, looked at him very seriously, and said slowly:

"But you can't just claim kinship with someone because you're moved by a stranger's story, can you?"

There's one more thing you got wrong: I don't resent the Ji family, nor do I resent anyone else.

On the contrary, I have many people to thank for their kindness in this materialistic society; otherwise, it's uncertain whether I would be alive today.

After saying that, he patted Biaozi, signaling that he could leave.

"Ji Haobo, you..."

Old Master Ji was so angry at the ruthlessness in his words that he trembled all over, but what the man said was not wrong. In his eyes, weren't the Ji family members just strangers?

As Ji Haobo passed by the group, he suddenly stopped Biaozi and looked at Ji Qiankun.

"Oh! By the way, if it's convenient, could you please tell me where my mother's grave is?"

Although I've never met her, I know she's a kind, pitiful, and somewhat foolish woman. I need to go and tell her that I'm doing well.

"Your mother's grave is in Hangzhou, but I moved it to Kyoto many years ago. I'll take you there once I've finished dealing with things here."

Ji Qiankun, who had been silent until now, spoke these words with a hoarse and labored voice, looking at Ji Haobo with expectant eyes.

"Okay! Alright!"

Ji Haobo nodded and didn't linger. Ji Qiankun watched his son's departing figure and suddenly thought of something.

"Little...Little Bo, be careful of the Huang family's revenge, those weasels!"

"Hahaha, I don't even consider those lowly chickens and dogs worthy of my attention."

Ji Haobo waved his hand, and his departing figure gradually disappeared, leaving only his spirited voice echoing.

The Ji family members remained silent upon seeing this. After a long while, Wei Guo, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke:

"Qiankun, why didn't you let Xiaobo stay and help? There have been Yin cavalry appearing in that tomb for the past few nights, it seems they're going into the mountains to deal with that leopard."

Now that it's following Xiao Bo, it's likely to attack the village tonight. Plus, those weasels are involved too. The three of you will have a hard time stopping it!

"Hmph! We'll try to stop them even if we can't. I've already had the higher-ups contact the Zhang family, but I don't know if they'll be able to get here today."

"If we include him, then tonight we'll cut down all those evil spirits."

Ji Qiankun's eyes were sharp, his aura fierce. He coldly uttered a sentence and turned to leave.

The remaining four exchanged glances and sighed; none of them had expected things to turn out this way.

I know Ji Qiankun must be very sad, but there's nothing I can do. He's the kind of person who doesn't need comforting.
