Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

(This should be considered a somewhat boring transitional chapter...)

Black Bear immediately took a liking to the second courtyard, for no other reason than... this courtyard had several artificial rockeries nearby.

Ah! How wonderful!

I love Xiaxia so much!

Before long, everyone had chosen their favorite courtyard.

Behind the innermost courtyard lies a miniature hill, which currently appears to be a small orchard with unripe fruit hanging on its surface, the small, unripe fruit seemingly still glistening with dewdrops.

This courtyard is slightly larger than the others, and instead of many flowers and plants, it is a flat, small training ground.

Zhang Qiling took a liking to this courtyard, and her eyes seemed to sparkle even brighter when she looked at it.

Then Wu Xie took over the courtyard closest to this place, partly because it was close to the small hill that was already bearing fruit, and he was really curious about what kind of fruit it was.

On the other hand...

The small pond in front of the courtyard was actually specially built as a fishing spot. Thinking back to when he was bored at Wushan Residence, he did develop a bit of a fishing hobby. Isn't this just a stroke of luck?!

Then Fatty Wang chose a spot next to Wuxie, which included a medicinal herb garden and a small courtyard that could be turned into a vegetable garden.

As soon as Su Li saw that Fatty Wang had chosen a location, he quickly settled on a small courtyard. Putting everything else aside, just for convenience, he could ask Fatty for a special meal if he got hungry in the middle of the night, hehehehe...

Then, as expected, Xie Yuchen chose the small courtyard with a pond and a stage at the entrance that Wu Xie had noticed at the beginning.

In this way, the courtyards were allocated clearly without any conflict. Each person's chosen courtyard perfectly suited their preferences, as if they had been tailor-made for them.

Now only the front courtyard remains, which will be used for other purposes.

选好院子的几人眼巴巴地看着苏黎，快快快，上课吧，想进院子去看看具体啥样(?0?5?0?4?0?8?9?0?0?4?0?8?0?5)

Su Li felt that they had misunderstood something, so she picked up the model-like courtyard in front of her and threw it onto the open ground.

"Awoooooo!!!"

"No, no, no!!!"

Wang Pangzi and Hei Xiazi were startled when they saw Su Li's posture and tried to rush up to catch her, but Su Li grabbed them.

Don't let it get crushed...

But the model that had fallen to the ground seemed to grow larger in the wind. The open space in front of them was so small, yet the object seemed to defy spatial theory, squeezing itself directly into this huge courtyard complex.

Behind him was still a luxurious tent, beside him was a mahjong table, several large sofas, and in the middle was a small table with food and a campfire to be lit for the night.

What should have been other tents and activity areas in the campsite in front of them was now a tall and imposing courtyard gate...

Tents, activity area, and bewildered guys...

The group of men were dumbfounded when they saw the cliff suddenly appear before them...

Fortunately, Qin Ye and his men had already left, and the Xie family's employees were calmed down by Xie Yuchen's phone call; otherwise, they would have been in a real bind.

Xie Yuchen ruffled Su Li's hair. The child was getting more and more mischievous, always giving them surprises (or frights) or something.

Where is the caring person they were when they first met, the one who used medicine and formations to explain things to them...?

Su Li didn't have a temper at all, obediently standing and letting Xie Yuchen rub her head. It's really fun when he's being naughty, a personal experience from a mischievous person.

This courtyard is actually based on the same principle as the coffin where Su Li stayed before. It doesn't need any special space; the courtyard itself will create a space. It's just that incomprehensible.

The group was very curious about their own little courtyard, so they put their arms around each other and started walking inside.

After passing the screen wall at the main gate, we entered the first courtyard.

The courtyard has a rather formal and serious style, reminiscent of the reception courtyards of wealthy families in ancient times. I originally thought they would need to learn magic to enter, and I was wondering what this courtyard was for. Now it's clear that this is a place prepared for outsiders.

They then headed towards the second blind man's courtyard.

Between the two courtyards, you can see exotic flowers and plants, strange rocks and artificial hills everywhere...

When the first artificial mountain appeared, Hei Xiazi couldn't resist and suddenly lay down on the still faintly glowing artificial mountain, not wanting to leave.

Waaaaah... Spirit stones, so many spirit stones...

Su Li went up and grabbed Hei Xiazi's two hands, forcibly pulling him back.

"Be good, you can't take this! It's part of the formation of this blessed land. If one piece is missing, the whole treasure will be ruined. Blind man, you have to resist the urge!"

It's not that it's ruined just because one piece is missing. After all, it's a refining technique that has been passed down in the cultivation world for countless years and optimized by countless powerful beings. If it were ruined just because one piece is missing, that would be too unreliable.

However, this didn't stop Su Li from bluffing. Hei Xiazi loved money, but he wouldn't ruin an entire magic weapon for a few small spirit stones.

Blackie is just being nosy, he's not stupid. This is our own stuff, okay?

After passing the connecting corridor and two rockeries, we finally arrived at the courtyard chosen by Hei Xiazi.

The layout of this courtyard looked somewhat familiar to several people from the capital. Hei Xiazi looked at the courtyard in front of him with satisfaction, appearing particularly happy.

"Look, you mute, doesn't this little courtyard look like the one we used to live in?!"

Zhang Qiling, unusually, nodded slightly in agreement, as it was a place they had lived in for many years, and the layout of the courtyard was indeed quite similar to where they used to live.

Of course, this is definitely more exquisite than the old courtyard, but it doesn't matter, such a slight similarity is already enough to make Hei Xiazi very happy.

It's clear that Master Yunqing put a lot of thought into this, taking into account everyone's preferences and needs, which is why he created such a wonderful product.

The group thoroughly explored the entire blessed land.

Playing around on the water stage...

Su Li led me through the herb garden to find small fruits that could be used as medicine or as snacks...

Each person sits on a small chair by the pond, fishing...

A chaotic battle erupted in the training grounds...

Wu Xie: No, are you guys targeting me?

Fatty Wang: Although, Fatty isn't much better than Little Innocent in terms of skills!!!

The one truly targeted, Hei Xiazi: That's it? That's it? Even though Hei Ye got beaten up, Hei Ye is not convinced! Hei Ye is still the best!!!

As for why they're being targeted...

Pulled haphazardly across the field by the puppet threads in Hei Xiazi's hands, the dummy-like wooden stakes, resembling zombies, had something to say...

A scoundrel may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to tricks and schemes, he can come up with a brilliant idea in the blink of an eye!

The poor wooden dummy stakes had just been put into use. Despite being blessed with talismans and supposedly very durable, they couldn't prevent someone from destroying them.

Pull it out and use it as a 'little flying man'!
