Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

He actually came with Chen Pi's car, and they dropped him off in the county while they went directly to Yingshan Village to wait for him.

Now that their mission is complete, they've brought Young Master San to join them...

Although there were quite a few people meeting up...

"Was all arranged by Wu Sansheng?"

Chen Pi stared straight at Pan Zi. He hadn't agreed to Wu Sansheng bringing so many people on the road. After years of experience in the martial arts world, he could only feel at ease if at least half of the team consisted of his own men.

Pan Zi smiled awkwardly. Originally, Third Master's plan was to ask Fatty Wang and that young man surnamed Zhang to cover for him, but unexpectedly, he couldn't contact any of them, including Third Master.

So you finally found Young Master San? Oh, so they were all together all along.

Chen Pi couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance, wondering where Wu Sansheng had found such a simpleton. Then he looked at Wu Xie.

“I know you, Wu Laogou’s grandson, you have to call me…”

"Fourth Grandfather," Wu Xie replied. He could just call him that; it wouldn't hurt him in terms of seniority.

In fact, all his subordinates called him that, including Hei Xiazi, who had long since pulled Zhang Qiling out to work independently. However, Hei Xiazi called him that purely as a code name, without any sense of respect.

Chen Pi raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that he would be so obedient, after all, he was the kind of person who could leave them waiting for him to celebrate the New Year.

Without saying anything more, he turned to look at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly in response.

When Zhang Qiling lost his memory and was captured by the locals to be used as bait, Chen Pi recognized him at a glance and took him away. Even if his motives were impure, he still helped Zhang Qiling. Therefore, Zhang Qiling had a friendly attitude towards Chen Pi.

"This is the head of the Xie family," Pan Zi continued to introduce.

Chen Pi was taken aback, his gloomy eyes, pierced by a knife scar, fixed on Xie Yuchen.

He knew that this was a young disciple his master had taken in later years. Although he had been expelled from the sect, he still recognized Er Yuehong as his master.

This junior brother is also someone I follow.

He unconsciously frowned.

"How did you come?"

Xie Yuchen: ...

"Just joining in the fun."

Hei Xiazi covered his face, wanting to laugh.

The way they're saying this makes it sound like they're not going to a deadly place, but rather to a market or fair.

"This is not a place for you."

Wu Xie inexplicably felt that Fourth Uncle's attitude towards Xiao Hua was similar to that of Third Uncle towards him, even in the way he spoke.

This is not a place for you.

This is a classic line from Wu Sansheng.

However, Wu Sansheng said this to provoke himself into following his arrangements, while Chen Pi said it because he genuinely didn't want Xie Yuchen to get involved.

Xie Yuchen wanted to roll his eyes. These old bastards had tricked Wuxie into going into the tomb for their so-called plan, and now they were doing it to him.

You think you shouldn't have come here, shouldn't have done that, and just want to rot away with that decadent Xie family, right?

"I'm already here, are you going to stop me from going up?"

Xie Yuchen smiled with a reserved elegance, "If you're capable, then close the mountain; if you're not, then shut up."

Chen Pi understood what Yu Chen meant. How so?

He wasn't angry at all; this kid was capable and had his own opinions, and he really couldn't control him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a handsome young man peeking out from behind Xie Yuchen, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Such a delicate-looking child, if his master saw him, he would probably want to take him as a disciple.

Back in the day, wasn't it because of my good looks that my master took a liking to me and accepted me as his disciple? But after the apprenticeship ceremony was over, my master only remembered to test my voice...

I still remember the look on my master's face when he heard my hoarse voice back then.

However, since the apprenticeship ceremony was already completed, there was no way to return the apprentice. The only option was to give up teaching the apprentice to opera and instead teach him martial arts and practical skills.

Later in his life, he accepted Xie Yuchen as his successor, and his master must have been quite pleased.

Thinking back to the days when I was learning my craft, I wish I could go back to those days!

"Is this the disciple you took in? He has a good appearance. How's his voice?"

The topic jumped too far, and Xie Yuchen choked for a moment.

Honestly, I thought I was going to have an argument with this old man.

Huh? That's right! Why didn't we think of letting Ali test her voice?

Su Li chuckled.

"I sang it, and my family said all the birds in the forest moved away."

Like his master, he was adept at playing musical instruments and flutes, but when it came to singing, he could only be used as a form of psychological attack.

They were singing songs in the backyard with their master when the Third Elder from the neighboring peak came over and asked if they had been raising wolves on the back of the mountain, because they were hearing howling wolves.

(Suddenly missing life on Earth, the master who runs a karaoke bar with his precious little apprentice: I have a few words of 'mmp' but I don't know if I should say them.)

From then on, their senior brothers and sisters repeatedly told them not to sing in front of outsiders and to be mindful of their image.

After all, they were the face of their Xuanqing Sect for two generations.

Xie Yuchen and the others looked at Su Li in unison, wondering if this was true.

Su Li awkwardly pointed upwards.

Oh, I see, it's about the cultivation world.

“Ali is my family’s child, but not my apprentice.”

Chen Pi nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

None of them felt awkward; they acted as if they were family and each found a place to sit down.

Now, the only standing monk, Hua, stood out conspicuously.

This burly man, with his bandit-like demeanor and scars on his face enough to frighten the entire kindergarten, including the teachers, somehow exuded a pitiful, timid air.

I wish I could hide in a corner and become a decorative piece, just hoping that all the big shots wouldn't notice me.

"Knock Knock Knock..."

"Fourth Grandfather, I'm back."

The wooden board outside the curtain was knocked on. Hearing the familiar sound, Monk Hua felt completely relaxed and thanked his brother for saving his life.

He rushed over to open the door.

Two men entered the house with a gust of cold wind. The tall man in front was clearly taken aback when he saw so many people, but he didn't say anything and looked at Chen Pi.

"Fourth Grandfather".

"Anyone found?"

Chenpi asked casually.

Lang Feng nodded and made way for the people behind him.

"This is Shunzi, the most famous guide in the area. He used to be a soldier, and he knows all the mountains in this area well. If you want to go into the mountains, you can't go wrong by asking him."

Shunzi was a little confused when he saw such a group of people in the room.

He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"You guys...are you all going up the mountain?"

Lang Feng scratched his head. Didn't Fourth Master say that it was enough to prepare for six to eight people?

This... there are more than ten already.

I had no idea that a few of the other guys had gone out to rent houses, otherwise things would have been even more chaotic.

Chen Pi paused for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Correct."

“No, I have a few more guys over there, so just prepare for... thirty people.” Xie Yuchen suddenly spoke up.

"Three, thirty?"

P.S.: To be honest, I quite like Chen Pi Asi, and I'm debating whether or not to kill him off...
