Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

When Liang Shiye was called upon, he stepped forward and was pulled to Uncle Kuan's side by Wu Xie, who put his arm around his shoulder.

"My Uncle Kuan is a veteran in our family. Lao Liang, you stay here and keep him company. If you can learn a few tricks from him, I'll treat you like royalty!"

Wu Xie's exaggerated compliments were incredibly sincere, making Uncle Kuan feel comfortable and his gratified expression never faded. Upon hearing this, he also smiled and invited Master Liang to sit down and talk.

Wu Xie brought Master Liang here to learn a craft from Uncle Kuan. He wouldn't have the energy to spend time on this in the future, so Master Liang was a good choice.

And then there's that little flower who's also eyeing Master Liang...

It's okay, you're in your fifties, the prime of your life! Keep it up, Lao Liang!!!

Originally, the plan was to retire after completing a series of tasks, but now the (forced) plan is to become a professional manager, a strategist...

I'll really thank you...

Wu Xie led the remaining three people behind him into the private room, which had not yet been closed. The people inside had already stopped talking the moment they heard his voice and were waiting for him to come in.

Upon seeing him now, he was indeed just as rumored, a young man with a scholarly air about him.

Then I saw another pretty little child with a youthful face and a ponytail follow in.

"Ha, sissy~"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected our young master to have such a taste~"

Someone muttered something in the corner, followed by another lewd remark.

"what!!!!"

Before the lewd voice had even faded, screams rang out one after another. The two henchmen behind Ma Gan'er each covered one ear and wailed in pain.

Following the bloody hand down to the ground, two ears lay at their feet.

Wu Xie ignored the farce and led Su Li to sit steadily in the main seat.

Black Bear played with the blood-stainless dagger in his hand, strolled back leisurely, and silently gave everyone present a warning.

They then sat down on the seats behind the two children, one on each side of Zhang Qiling.

The well-prepared teahouse waiter quietly and obediently served the tea. If you ignore the slight tremor in his hand when handing the tea to the bear, you could praise his excellent training.

The first person to lose face, Ma Gan'er, turned pale and then red, looking extremely ugly. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and when he saw Wu Xie start by targeting his subordinates, he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and stand up.

"Hey Wu, what the hell do you mean? I'm calling you 'Little Third Master' out of respect for Third Master, and you actually think you're something special?"

Wu Xie kept Xiao Hua's instructions firmly in mind, maintaining a nonchalant expression while intently fiddling with the jade compass that Su Li had contributed. No matter how harsh the insults were, he didn't even glance at the other person.

(Dog eyes are so clear, who understands?! They're not intimidating at all...)

Its main theme is to take showing off to the extreme.

Su Li was peeling peanuts on the coffee table next to her when she saw the skinny guy suddenly act up. A freshly peeled, plump white peanut flew out and hit the guy's knee.

Just as Ma Gan'er jumped up to launch his attack, he felt a sharp pain in his knee, as if someone had hit him hard with a stick, and he fell heavily to his knees with a thud.

Su Li grimaced. That sounded even more painful than the blow he had delivered. He wondered if the skinny guy had broken a bone.

The group of leaders who had previously looked down on Wu Xie and had something to hide all subconsciously swallowed. The person in question, Ma Gan'er, was still in pain and hadn't reacted yet, but they could all see it clearly.

I initially thought she was the young master's mistress, but now it seems that's not the case at all.

"Fuck your grandpa..."

The man was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely and his eyes were red. He cursed loudly without restraint, but he was too scared to move because of Su Li's next move.

"Whoosh... slap..."

A peanut was deeply embedded in the floor in front of Magan'er, who was spewing profanities and choking like a chicken with its neck being strangled, his face turning red.

Looking up, he saw the little boy who had just been teased by his subordinates holding a slingshot in his hand, with a small pile of shelled peanuts on the table beside him. The slingshot, which looked like a toy, was taut and pointed straight at him.

He stiffly looked down at the peanut embedded in the floor, then looked up at the slingshot aimed at him. The sweat that had gathered on his forehead due to the pain dripped down in large drops, and he dared not make a sound anymore.

Seeing the little brat dominating the scene, Hei Xiazi behind him was extremely proud and frantically nudged Zhang Qiling with his elbow. Only when Zhang Qiling calmly and forcefully stomped on his foot did he stop.

Wu Xie seemed to only then notice the situation in front of him and raised his head.

"Hey~ what's going on here? This is way too early for someone to be worshipping here..."

Wu Xie pretended to pause for a moment, then shouted towards the door.

"Uncle Kuan, can I borrow someone? I can't tell who's who among all these 'seniors'."

Everyone present:...

Where's the overprotected, pretty-boy young master I was promised? He's clearly a little tyrant! Why do I feel like I'm in a bit of trouble today?

Hearing the commotion inside, Uncle Kuan smiled with satisfaction and assigned a young, bright-eyed waiter to Wu Xie's tasks, while he continued chatting with Master Liang.

I must say, Xiao Liang's way of speaking is just to my liking. No matter what you say, she can always chime in with a few words, and her voice is so pleasant...

The young waiter was very observant when he went in; he bowed and greeted Wu Xie and Su Li with great enthusiasm.

"Greetings, Third Master! Greetings, Master! Greetings, gentlemen! My name is Little Teapot. I run errands for this teahouse. Master Kuan asked me to lend a hand to Third Master."

This little teapot has a round face that looks very clever. It speaks in a clear and crisp voice and looks efficient. It is a talent that is worth nurturing.

After the little teapot respectfully greeted the group, it stood obediently beside Wuxie, looking ready to be ordered around.

Wu Xie was still playing with the jade compass that was clearly no ordinary item in his hand, with his legs crossed, and he used his chin to tap the slender man who was still kneeling there.

Jade Compass: This counts as a work injury! This absolutely has to be considered a work injury!!!

Without Wu Xie even having to speak, Xiao Chahu, with his keen sense of propriety, bent down and whispered the introduction in Wu Xie's ear in a voice that could be heard throughout the entire private room.

"This man is called Magan'er. He is in charge of the farm work in our family. He is a bit impulsive, so please forgive him, Third Master, and don't get angry."

His expression and tone made him sound like a lowly handyman working for the Wu family, despite being a famous figure for many years and being flattered by the underworld with the titles "Brother Ma" or "Master Ma."

Not to mention Magan'er, the expressions of several others of similar status to Magan'er were quite interesting.

Wu Xie grew increasingly pleased with the young man; he was clever, observant, and knew how to distinguish his employer.

Given Ma Gan'er's status, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the young man to call him "Master Ma" normally, but not now. Now that he's standing next to Wu Xie, he has to put on a certain air.

Wow, Uncle Kuan really knows how to train people!

Su Li: Little innocent, if you want to poach someone, just say so.
