Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

After coming ashore from the mudflats, Wu Erbai led his men back to Hangzhou, while Qin Henian led his men to transfer flights and drive straight to Beijing Airport.

Inside Beijing Airport.

"Hey, is Little Third Master's flight at this time? It's already past its scheduled time, and it's been delayed by more than ten minutes. Why haven't they landed yet?"

Pan Zi was sitting on a lounge chair in the waiting area, glancing at the information on the airport's large screen from time to time, and asking the man dressed in all black next to him a question every now and then.

Sitting next to him, Hei Xiazi was mentally preparing what to say to his wife when she arrived, so he wasn't listening to Pan Zi's question. He kept touching the pocket of his black leather jacket and glancing through his sunglasses.

A relatively new ID card lies inside, quietly.

Pan Zi didn't hear Hei Xiazi's reply, nor did he say anything. He was used to it. People in the underworld said that Nan Xia had a strange personality and temper. Moreover, most great masters had tempers as unpredictable as the weather forecast, which would twitch from time to time. Nan Xia was certified by the underworld to have a bad temper.

"Isn't it normal for flights to be delayed? Let's wait a bit longer; if the delay is long, we can always ask the airport for compensation!"

As for not paying compensation? Black Bear hadn't even considered that, after all, their status was different now.

"You can do that? No wonder you're called Blackie, you're really amazing."

Pan Zi certainly wouldn't refute Hei Xiazi's words. He was very clear about his current position: a rookie trying to redeem himself.

"Tsk... Don't flatter me so much, Pan. You'd better be normal."

Black Bear's lips twitched. He recalled how arrogant this guy used to be in front of outsiders, and then looked at him now... well... he's quite pragmatic.

诱边辘… 豱辘辘…

The sound of wheels rolling on the ground came in waves as several familiar people pushed their suitcases from the exit through the corridor.

Qin Henian looked left and right at the arrival gate, eager to know what was happening at the mine. He wanted to obtain the power of the Little Heavenly Dao as soon as possible, fulfill his promise to Zhao Zheng, and return home with his girlfriend!

"blind!"

Qin Henian's cheerful voice rang out from the alleyway at the exit, which was surrounded by a fence.

"Ah~"

"My blind man's darling little one~ The blind man is here~"

Upon hearing Qin Henian's familiar voice, Hei Xiazi's face broke into a wide smile, and he raised his hands high, waving them wildly. His exaggerated movements and expressions drew frequent glances and stares from those around him.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Hei Xiazi seemed completely unfazed, instead waving his hands excitedly and calling out towards Qin Henian and his group.

Panzi saw pairs of eyes staring at them from all sides, and he lowered his head, wishing he could disappear into the ground. How embarrassing! It was so embarrassing! He felt like he wanted to dig a castle out of the ground with his toes.

"Nonsense~"

Upon seeing Hei Xiazi's reaction, Qin Henian swallowed back what he wanted to say, pursed his lips, took two steps back, and hid behind Zhang Qilin and Zhala Luowa...

That blind bastard!!!

I didn't see it! I didn't see it! I didn't see anything!!

Qin Henian ignored the figure in black in the crowd not far away, and followed behind the group, urging them in a low voice to avoid the approaching storm. After passing the exit railing, he grabbed the nearest person and they ran wildly away from this awkward place.

Zhalarova was suddenly pulled by his prince, so he could only hurry to catch up. He jogged along, his brows furrowed, his mind racing, afraid that he might trip over his precious little prince if he didn't keep up!

A dozen minutes later, in a seven-seater car, Panzi sat in the driver's seat, while Heixiazi chose the passenger seat next to the driver.

Raising an eyebrow, Hei Xiazi turned around and looked at the back seat with a bitter and resentful expression.

"Honey~ Why did you run so fast just now~ You didn't even wait for me~ I'm suffering~"

puff!

"Cough cough cough... cough cough... Hahahaha, Master, you're so pitiful..."

Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Xie Yuchen sat in the first row of the back seat. He was sitting on the far side, closest to the passenger seat. Watching his cheap master's crazy antics, he choked on his saliva and couldn't help but cough and laugh.

Boom!

Hei Xiazi quickly flashed in front of Wu Xie and raised his hand to give him a sharp rap on the head!

"You brat, are you making fun of your master again? Do you think a blind man is so easy to bully?"

.................................. ............................

On the outskirts of Beijing, next to an unfinished building cordoned off by law enforcement, several newly built large warehouses have sprung up. Inside the large warehouses covered with blue tarpaulins, several well-dressed men walked in.

At first glance, there were incandescent lights hanging high, a pungent, rotten stench, and three or four excavators and large trucks. Inside the trucks, large chunks of meteorite jade were being moved one by one into the muddy, reddish-brown warehouse floor by a large number of young men in camouflage uniforms, using small cranes, jacks, and other machinery.

"You should have already surveyed all the ruins in Changsha, right?"

Qin Henian turned to look at Hei Xiazi, who had been in charge here for quite some time, and asked with a slightly excited tone, his two big, blinking eyes fixed on the person who was about to speak and answer.

"Yes, yes, little Henian~"

"The blind man was exhausted this time! He painstakingly found a spot in the pile of rubble to lead everyone inside, then scurried around in those collapsed tomb passages. And those mine tombs were teeming with moth eggs and strange-looking strands of hair, practically swallowing people whole! If it weren't for my amazing abilities, my dear Henian, you and Mute Zhang would be out there fishing right now~ Waaah~"

"If it weren't for me, the blind man, using all my knowledge to help Panzi break through the rubble and build a stone wall by hand, we wouldn't even be able to imagine what would have happened. Shouldn't our country give me one or two gold mines as compensation this time?"

Black Bear pretended to be pitiful and used a strange tone to recount his recent experiences, describing his actions as miserable, hoping to gain favor with his wife and perhaps even get a chance to eat some meat.

Of course, we should still fight for the benefits we deserve.

"You want money? We don't have any!"

The gold mine—he didn't want it at all! He hadn't accumulated much over thousands of years, and he even wanted to keep it to melt down and gild his feathers; there was no way he was going to give it away!

Qin Henian has a strong inner monologue: Hei Xiazi wants his secret stash of money? Forget about it, there's no way he'll get it...
