Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Ignoring Hei Xiazi's attempt to throw a tantrum and demand another bite, Su Li recorded the auras of the group into the array's core for future use.

He also made a dozen or so jade beads as temporary tokens to facilitate the work of Xie Yuchen's men, since there were still some harmful things that hadn't been dealt with yet.

After Su Li said she needed to go into seclusion to recover her strength, Xie Yuchen took Su Li into a secret room in his room.

“This place is secluded and safe. Once it’s closed from the inside, no one can bother you, not even me.” Xie Yuchen demonstrated to Su Li how to lock it from the inside.

This is the most secluded and best-defended place in the Xie family compound; in the past, it could be considered the family's last line of defense.

"I'm just in seclusion to recover, I'm not afraid of being disturbed, you don't need to be so nervous." Su Li felt they were being too serious.

He even thought he hadn't recovered to the Qi Refining Perfection stage, but was preparing to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage and undergo a lightning tribulation or something.

Back when we were practicing meditation, eight out of ten times, my second senior sister and third senior brother would be fighting not far away, making such a commotion that it seemed like they were going to tear down their entire lineage's mountain.

Not to mention on the battlefield later on, the people of the Xuanqing Sect were the coolest guys, wielding spiritual veins in one hand and swords in the other, managing to fight and heal at the same time, okay?

A minor passerby in the cultivation world, who was suffering through meditation and using spirit stones to recover: These beasts are terrifying.

"It's safe in the yard now, I'll be out soon."

"Oh, and Huahua, remember to take down the curtains in your room. It's so dark and uncomfortable."

Xie Yuchen laughed when he heard this. The child had clearly disliked the curtains that covered the entire room when he entered his room yesterday, and he wanted to tear them down right there and then.

Yes, they can leave now. After they personally experienced the power of that formation, they can leave.

The shadow of being spied on since childhood seems to be fading away.

"Okay, I understand. We'll leave in a bit and wait for you to come out for the inspection."

Su Li nodded in satisfaction. Hua Hua was indeed pleasing to the eye, with such a good personality, good temper, and gentleness. Even in their cultivation world, she would definitely be a heartthrob!

The traitorous member of the Xie family who got punished: ...

Xie family's mortal enemy: ...

He's faking it! He's faking it!

Master said that Hua Hua's opera singing is also superb, and he even specially prepared a complete set of headdress and costumes for him. I must let Hua Hua wear them and see them sometime, hehe!

After shooing away the nervous temporary guardian, Su Li tossed a prayer mat on the ground, sat down to adjust her state, and released her spiritual energy to circulate around her body.

The new physical body prepared by the master is no different from his original body. It is very simple for him to start over. Not only will it be faster, but it will also make his foundation more solid.

A novice building a house for the first time and an experienced veteran are different when building the same structure. The former is not only faster, but also more stable.

……

During their seclusion in Zurich, the three of them stayed in the courtyard without going anywhere else.

The blind man in the south and the mute man in the north turned down all the business that came to them, and usually just sparred with each other in their own yard from time to time.

Xie Yuchen sent out all the work that required going out, and he stayed in his study to process documents. When he got tired, he would practice his singing and martial arts, or take his dragon-patterned staff to the next room for some exercise, or he would go and study that stack of 'original works' in order to make arrangements for the next action.

Little Flower's hair is really curly!

On the fifth day of Zuli's seclusion, an unexpected person appeared at Jie's house.

Front yard living room

Looking at the well-dressed, refined, and reserved middle-aged man in front of him, Xie Yuchen was somewhat reluctant to receive him.

Although the Xie family had already begun to whitewash their image when the Buddha purged the Nine Gates, they officially presented themselves as patriotic and promising entrepreneurs.

But those within the family know their own business. Some things have simply gone from the open to the shadows. After all, there are still so many employees to support, and the auction house can't rely solely on acquiring items from other people. As long as it exists, the higher-ups can find out if they want to.

Not to mention anything far away, I personally led a team down into a dugout not long ago and brought back an unregistered person. Oh, and there are two more unregistered people in the backyard.

Tsk tsk tsk, life is getting more and more agonizing.

"this?"

"My surname is Qin, Qin Ye. I used to be a bodyguard for the Grand Elder, and now I am the deputy director of the security department," the middle-aged man, Qin Ye, introduced himself.

This seemingly refined politician's attire makes it hard to believe he's actually a military officer, and the second-in-command of the security department.

"Minister Qin, what brings you here?" Xie Yuchen was genuinely puzzled. Even if the Xie family was to be dealt with, it shouldn't be at the level of the security department. Could it be that one of his underlings had dug up the fiber optic cable?

Qin Ye was amiable and seemed to have no intention of causing trouble. He took a sip of tea politely.

"Let's talk to Master Xie about our cooperation intentions in the exploration, development and protection of underground ancient culture."

Xie Yuchen: ? ? ? ?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

You're talking about this with the leader of a tomb raiding gang? Seriously?

"Minister Qin really knows how to make people laugh." Xie Yuchen smiled, really wanting to serve tea and see the guest out.

"Master Xie, please don't misunderstand. We really do have this intention to cooperate." Qin Ye said as he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them over.

Xie Yuchen took it with suspicion.

What about this policy, targeted poverty alleviation?

Look at this: they've formed an official exploration team, taking full responsibility for member selection and deployment. The government is only responsible for providing financial and equipment support. (You organize tomb raiding and recruit your own people—I won't interfere, I won't plant any spies to monitor you, and I'll even provide you with financial and equipment assistance.)

Auction houses have the maximum authority to support transactions outside of international deals. (As long as you don't sell them overseas, even auctioning ordinary national treasure-level antiques is legal and supported.)

There are also various industrial policies targeting his own businesses...

It's so thoughtful it makes me a little nervous.

Is this notice really not telling him to just wash his neck and wait to die?

"Minister Qin, how are your colleagues working on this project?" Xie Yuchen asked with a strange expression.

Are you sure you're not crazy?

Qin Ye thought of the outrageous policies in the document. If these policies hadn't been proposed by the elders, he would have thought that some evil force was trying to shake the foundation of the country.

He coughed awkwardly twice. "Patriarch Xie, please believe in our sincerity."

You can't believe a thing...

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this is a new era, I would have thought I was about to win a nine-generation puzzle game?" Xie Yuchen returned the document to Qin Ye.

"Minister Qin, why don't you just speak plainly? What are you planning to settle? Or do you need my cooperation in something?"

Seeing that he had taken the initiative to bring it up, Qin Ye didn't keep him in suspense any longer. "This private visit is indeed because there are some other matters that require the Xie family head's help to make a connection."

As he spoke, Qin Ye casually pointed upwards. "I wonder if it would be convenient for Patriarch Xie to introduce Mr. Su?"

Xie Yuchen had just relaxed a little when he heard that the other party wanted something, but the second half of the other party's sentence immediately put him on high alert.

Ah Li was someone he brought back, and she went into seclusion the next day, hardly ever appearing in public. How did the higher-ups know about her?

"What is Minister Qin talking about? I don't quite understand."

"Patriarch Xie, there's no need to be so nervous. I've already confirmed things before I came to your door. Rest assured, it's not a bad thing for the higher-ups to be looking for Mr. Su."

Xie Yuchen remained skeptical of the other person's words and simply looked at them quietly.

Qin Ye smiled slightly; the young man was quite cautious. "Xuanqing Sect, Venerable Yunqing."
