Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

"What? Young Master San can't understand human language?"

Hei Xiazi smirked, looking at Wu Xie with a roguish air, and said in a mocking tone.

Wu Xie looked at the other person's smiling face, yet uttered words that were ruthless enough to kill, and his heart pounded.

He wasn't unaware that people in their group died quickly, but Wu Xie knew he couldn't bring himself to watch someone kill and silence a witness.

Of course, this was what Wu Xie thought in his heart, and this was reflected in his expression. Seeing this, Hei Xiazi's eyelids twitched behind his sunglasses, secretly regretting taking on Wu Erye's job. He just wanted to let this fledgling spread its wings and not become a failure, but he hadn't expected people to be so fragile. However, Hei Xiazi didn't care about Wu Xie's psychological issues; his main focus was on making him face reality!

"You...you can't do this! You're blind, it's illegal!"

Wu Xie looked at Hei Xiazi's face with a serious expression, trying to influence him with his emotions and get him to agree to let the men go. But deep down, Wu Xie knew that some things were impossible, but impossible didn't mean impossible. Trying was never a bad thing.

"Breach of the law?"

"Haha... Little... Little Third Master? Tsk tsk... Wu Xie, you don't still think you're a baby, do you? How about... you try calling the police?"

"Let's see how many years your Wu family's ancestors, spanning eighteen generations, would spend in jail... But in my opinion, it would be at least several hundred years, right, Third Master?"

With a mocking expression, Hei Xiazi shoved Wu Xie in the face without even blinking, making Wu Xie's face turn red and white in turns. His tone was both formal and teasing, clearly distinguishable.

"I...I...I didn't mean to say that...I just...I just didn't want to kill innocent people!"

Wu's lips trembled as he offered a pale and weak explanation.

Panzi and Fatty Wang, who were standing nearby, also fell silent, each keeping their mouths tightly shut.

"Cut~"

"Young Master Wu~ I'm not saying this to be idiot, but you're really stupid! Born into a family of tomb raiders, do you think you can live a life of purity? You live in this world, enjoying the daily necessities and vested interests of your family, so you need to face reality!"

"Even if you were innocent in your past life, you were born into a dark world, so... can you please stop being such a simple-minded naive girl? You're such a burden! I don't know how Wu Sanxing managed to raise you..."

"Unfortunately, even if you're incredibly stupid, once you're in this circle, do you think you can get out? Tsk tsk..."

Black Bear kept babbling, pointing at Wu Xie's head and launching into a tirade of sarcasm that made Wu Xie tremble with fear. Gradually, Wu Xie's mind cleared up a bit.

Yes! His fate was sealed from birth! His family background is like this, his current actions reflect this, and he willingly entered into the countless power circles involved. And then there's that "it" in Aunt Wen Jin's notes—a venomous snake, or perhaps a swarm of snakes, behind the Nine Gates...

How could he be so inhuman! Wu Xie cursed himself inwardly, then looked up to meet Hei Xiazi's gaze. Thinking of the people around him, he sighed. No matter what, his family, friends, and brothers were waiting for him. He couldn't even protect those around him, so what did he care about others…

Before anyone knew it, Wu Xie's intelligence suddenly kicked in, and the originally straight line suddenly went completely off course.

"Sorry, blind man, I misspoke. I'll go calm down by myself."

Wu Xie's voice trembled slightly as he walked into the woods, his legs moving uncontrollably, not wanting to ask or hide anything anymore.

Behind his sunglasses, Hei Xiazi's pupils swept over Wu Xie's back. The next second, he turned around and began to give orders to his men. He also had Wang Pangzi and Pan Zi work together. The group of men worked in a clear division of labor, two against one, and quickly tied up the group of people left on Yangjiao Mountain.

"What do you mean by this, Xie family? Aren't we in a cooperative relationship? Didn't our boss and you agree on this? Aren't you completely untrustworthy? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation in the underworld and making it so that no one will want to do tomb raiding with you anymore?"

At this moment, the leader of the Huo family who was left behind raised his head and looked at Xie Yuchen with a vicious gaze. He knew some things, and now that he was tied up, he naturally wanted to find someone who could talk to him.

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't call these people, so what use are they to me?"

Xie Yuchen wasn't offended by the man's words at all; instead, he watched the man jumping around with great interest.

"It's inappropriate for Master Xie to say such things. In Beijing, everyone in the Nine Gates knows that the Xie and Huo families are closely related. Moreover, you and our Miss Huo grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and you will be family in the future. How come you've changed your tune and become so heartless today?"

"…………"

The man was still talking even with his mouth tied up, and there was no respect in his eyes for the head of the Xie family. He thought that he was, after all, following behind the head of the Huo family and was a confidant. He could guess his boss's little thoughts, which led to the current situation.

"Turning your back on someone? So what? I've survived all the ups and downs in the business world, and countless life-and-death situations underground. What? You think I can't handle a little underling like you?"

What does it mean to have feelings? Xie Yuchen sneered inwardly, his face also showing mockery. When he was eight years old and in charge of the family, the Huo family still took a piece of their flesh. If it weren't for his master helping to stabilize the situation back then, how could he be alive today?!

What a huge face!

Immediately, Xie Yuchen turned his head, his gaze shifting towards Hei Xiazi.

"You blind bastard! What are you waiting for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuchen tilted his head and pointed at the person on the ground, signaling Hei Xiazi to finish quickly. He didn't ask any questions and instead led the Xie family members present to put on a show of pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're awesome, bro! You dare to talk back to a smiling tiger like Master Hua? I, the blind man, salute you as a brave man!"

Black Bear's smile widened, a cold glint in his eyes behind his sunglasses. He Nian had given him a small task: after dealing with these scumbags, he still needed to go and ask for some benefits from those people...

The chaos in Yangjiaoshan Forest did not slow down the return of Qin Henian and his two companions.

Qin Henian and his two companions had now passed through the secret passage that belonged exclusively to the Zhang family patriarch. They then followed a stone staircase and finally arrived at a jade mine cave whose stone walls were covered with bronze bells.

Ring ring ring…

Ring ring ring…

The sound of bronze bells rang out the very next second after the three entered the mine, followed by invisible sound waves echoing in the air.

"what!"

When Ah Ning stood in the mine, her temples throbbed with pain, and she felt as if something was pressing down on her body. The pain was excruciating, and she screamed instantly, her face turning deathly pale and her pupils bulging.

boom!

At that very moment, Qin Henian moved with lightning speed. The instant Ah Ning opened her mouth to scream, he raised his arm and delivered a chop to the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.

"Little Qilin, look! A-Ning got attacked by sonic waves again. If I hadn't found you and that black-hearted guy a long time ago and made you two become tough beasts, you might have ended up like A-Ning if you had entered here in your human forms!"

Qin Henian showed no reaction to the wall full of bronze bells. He even glanced around and felt that the bells were not valuable enough to warrant taking them back.

"Yes! My Henian is really amazing!"
