Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Xie Yuchen wasn't annoyed by the smug look on the other person's face. He reached into his pocket, took out something, and showed it to the other person, waving it around.

"Really not going to talk anymore?"

When Hei Xiazi saw what Xie Yuchen was waving in his hand, he slightly toned down his somewhat smug expression, put on his signature smile, lowered his head, and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone.

"Let's chat! Let's chat! Let's chat!"

Having witnessed the whole process, Qin Henian was a bit of a headache. Are people playing such elaborate games nowadays?

Several more hours passed, and it was already dark when the cars finally returned to A Ning's camp. Hei Xiazi pulled out the car key and got out of the car. He looked at the people in the car behind him and raised his head to signal them.

pat!

Another door opened, and Qin Henian got out of the car feeling dizzy. He breathed in the fresh air outside the car and it took him a while to feel a little better, but his eyes were red from holding back vomit for too long.

"You blind bastard, why didn't you open the car window wider when I told you to? What, are you feeling trapped inside the car?"

Qin Henian was somewhat angry at this moment. Ignoring the several gazes that were fixed on him as soon as he got out of the car, he opened his mouth and retorted.

"Oh, Henian! You've misunderstood me. I was just anxious. Boss Aning called me several times on the way here!"

Seeing Qin Henian's distressed expression, Hei Xiazi felt a pang of regret.

"Heh... guess if I believe you!! It's just opening a window..."

Just then, two people who got out of the car behind them walked over.

"His face is so pale, is he carsick? Get him some motion sickness medicine."

As soon as Xie Yuchen got out of the car, she saw this scene. What came into view was a boy who was about 1.7 meters tall. His skin was white and shiny in the dark night. He had a snow-white face and delicate features that seemed otherworldly. He looked out of place among the others. The boy also had a pair of eyes that were neither too big nor too small. His bright phoenix eyes were full of spirit.

It's a face so beautiful you couldn't find a single flaw, except it looks a bit pale right now...

"Come on, come on, let's go into the tent first!"

Seeing that the person was in pain, Hei Xiazi stopped him and led him into the tent. Since medicine is three parts poison, Hei Xiazi did not intend to let Qin Henian take the medicine. Motion sickness is a serious matter, but it is also a minor one. He thought he would let him go into the tent to rest first.

After sitting down on the stool and taking a few deep breaths, Qin Henian's thoughts returned to normal. He looked up and saw three people sitting in the tent. Before Qin Henian could say anything, his ears twitched. He heard footsteps coming from another tent.

Are you feeling better?

A gentle male voice came from above. Qin Henian looked up and saw the very handsome face from that afternoon.

"I feel much better, I'm fine, thank you."

Qin Henian smiled and replied to the person.

Tear it apart!

The tent flap was opened from the outside in, and one leg stepped inside. Wu Xie blinked his big eyes and saw the people inside as soon as he entered the tent. Zhang Qilin followed behind Wu Xie, and as soon as the two entered the tent, everyone's eyes turned to them.

"Brother, I told you He Nian is back! Look!"

Wu pointed to Qin Henian, who was sitting in a chair looking completely bewildered, and said that ever since he learned that Qin Henian was Xiao Ge's good friend, he had also treated him as a friend.

"What's wrong? Wu Xie, Little Qilin?"

cough cough...

Wu Xie thought about what happened in the afternoon and felt it was nothing. He glanced at Zhang Qilin and, seeing that the other was still silent, waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

"Wu Xie? What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Xie Yuchen frowned. Wu Xie was his childhood friend and the key to every piece of information he gathered. At the same time, Xie Yuchen also understood one thing: no matter what the older generation of the Nine Gates were doing, among them, only Wu Xie seemed to be following in Wu Sanxing's footsteps, but it was more like he was retracing the path taken by the previous generation.

"You know me? But I've never seen you before. Who are you?"

Wu Xie was a little dazed when his name was called. He looked at the person who had called him, and saw that the person had a male body but an androgynous appearance, with striking features and extremely high looks! But! He didn't seem to have seen this person before...

"It's me, Xiaohua! Wu Xie, don't you recognize me?"

Xie Yuchen had initially thought the other person would recognize him, but the result was unexpected...

"You're Little Flower? What little flower or grass... I don't... wait, you're Little Flower!!!"

"You're really Xiaohua? But isn't Xiaohua a girl? How could you be Xiaohua!"

Wu Xie looked astonished, his facial features contorted in disbelief. He didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked...

When Xie Yuchen heard what Wu Xie said, the joy she had felt upon seeing her childhood friend vanished considerably...

Damn it, how can Wu Xie's mouth be so unreliable! It's been so many years! Why does he remember it so clearly?!

"I was too young to tell the difference between men and women back then, and now! Don't mention it again!"

.......

Qin Henian, who was sitting on the side watching the excitement, had his eyebrows curved and his lips tightly pursed. The muscles in his cheeks were almost uncontrollable. But the two people in the center of the excitement were too close to him. There was nothing he could do but make the person next to him feel a little wronged.

hiss...

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Black Bear, who had just been pinched again, looked down at the person who had been in pain, now gripping his wrist and elbow with one hand and pinching it...

This is the nth time I've silently repeated it! I brought it home myself, I brought it home myself...

The people inside the tent had just reunited when Ah Ning walked in from outside. She immediately noticed the two extra people inside—the same two people Hei Xiazi had reported in the text message earlier.

"You're from the Xie family, she's from the Huo family, and you're both from the Nine Gates. I know about you!"

Ah Ning raised her hand and pointed to the extra people in front and behind her, her expression all businesslike.

Boo!

Suddenly, a cry rang in Qin Henian's mind, and Qin Henian immediately sat down in his chair and narrowed his eyes.

He felt it.

He was currently at the entrance to the desert, and his sudden feeling was that he was being "tempted" by his "natural enemy." He hadn't felt it so strongly during the day, and yesterday he was quite far from today's camp. It was only today, after he recovered from his motion sickness, that he felt it.

It's a snake, isn't it, Ayao?

"You...don't want to see me? Of course, why would you want to see me, especially since I've already sent all your lovers away..."

Qin He murmured softly, his lips moving slightly, the sound known only to himself.

Just as Qin Henian was in a daze, the conversation between A Ning and Xie Yuchen came to an end. The final result was that Xie Yuchen and Xie Yuchen could join A Ning's group and travel together to Tamutuo.

The group left their tents and returned to their own, except for Huo Xiuxiu, who led Xie Yuchen toward the car they had driven in the afternoon.
