Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Yes, it is hostility.

Qin Henian expressed his incomprehension. He had only come to see what the Wu family members looked like, but for some reason, he was targeted by their gazes as soon as they met. Qin Henian was very unhappy and then his gaze fell on Wu Erbai across from him.

Compared to Wu Erbai's subtle scrutiny of Qin Henian, Qin Henian's gaze was much more open, directly fixed on the person opposite him with a slight upturn of his lips.

"You want to kill me."

It was an affirmative sentence, not a question. Qin Henian was certain that the other person wanted to bury him, but unfortunately, Qin Henian knew clearly that the other person could not kill him.

In this world, unless he himself doesn't want to live, no one can kill him. Moreover, even if he dies, he will return to the place where he was born and come back to life, which means going home. Not to mention that his true form is a bird, his divine beast, which has cultivated the Law of Fire to perfection, is comparable to the vanished Vermilion Bird. He can even be reborn from the ashes.

"You are Wu Xie's friend, so why would I, as his second uncle, have any reason to kill you?"

Wu Erbai wasn't annoyed by the direct exposure from the other person; on the contrary, he admired the other person's courage. However, he was still wondering whose side the other person was, and he felt that this person was very dangerous.

Wu Erbai had investigated, but because the other party's background was too clean, and the information from his third brother couldn't be false, Wu Erbai wouldn't have been lenient in the past. But for some reason, his sixth sense told him that it was better to befriend the other party than to offend them.

Moreover, he had only been thinking about whether or not to deal with the other party for a moment, but the other party immediately noticed and reacted very directly. This kind of keenness alone is worth investigating.

"Where do you get so many reasons? If there are pretty and colorful flowers growing by the roadside, you'll reach out and pick them."

"Some things do require a reason to do, while others do not; it just depends on whether you want to or not."

Qin Henian glanced away from Wu Erbai, afraid he might impulsively kill him. After all, Wu Erbai was Wu Xie's uncle, so he decided to hold back. Well... just a little...

“What this young man said is very philosophical. No wonder my little Xie is friends with you.”

Wu Erbai was a smart man. Knowing that he wouldn't get any information today, he decided not to waste his time. As long as the other party didn't have any ill intentions towards Wu Xie, he wouldn't object to having an extra person protect Wu Xie for free. However, they knew too little about the other party, so they still needed to have Hei Xiazi observe them in the dark, just in case.

Wu Erbai thought so, but what he didn't know was that Hei Xiazi could indeed observe, but not in the dark. Compared to Wu Erbai, Hei Xiazi cared more about himself. Although his eyesight had recovered, he had lived for too long. He had finally seen someone who suited his taste, so of course he wanted to openly and honestly take the person back with him.

"Second Uncle, I'm not that bad, am I?"

He's a proper college graduate, after all!

On the other side, Wu Xieming was stung by his second uncle's veiled criticism. Did he now have to compare diplomas to befriend someone?

Pfft!

Qin Henian couldn't help but laugh. He was originally very serious, but Wu Xiaogou's forlorn and comical facial expressions twitched, making his cute face quite funny.

“Wu Xie, your second uncle didn’t mean it that way. He probably just thinks you’re too stupid.”

Qin Henian continued to deliver the finishing blow.

Wu Xie felt a sudden prick to his heart and didn't want to stay there any longer. He grabbed Wang Pangzi, who was close to him, and headed for the door. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take his amnesiac brother with him.

Da da da....

As the footsteps faded into the distance, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze. None of the remaining three spoke, but none of them wanted to stand there foolishly. They each found a sofa and settled into a comfortable position.

"Blind man, you should know..."

No sooner had Wu Erbai finished speaking than another voice rang out in the hall.

"No, no, no... Second Master, I have nothing to do with what's between you and my Henian. I'm just here to watch the show, please don't mention me..."

Hei Xiazi sat on the sofa and interrupted Wu Erbai as soon as he heard him muttering his name. He mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his quick thinking. He was so quick and clever!

Wu Erbai was interrupted by Hei Xiazi, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation. He hesitated for a while before speaking again.

"Mr. Qin, I want to know who you really are? And why are you getting close to Wu Xie?"

Wu Erbai didn't explicitly mention the matter of Golmud; instead, he inquired about the other party's background. Asking directly, even if he couldn't find out, would leave a better impression.

"I'm Wu Xie's friend. Didn't Mr. Wu hear your nephew's introduction just now?"

Qin Henian did not answer Wu Erbai's question directly, but instead used Wu Xie's words to shut him down.

"Mr. Qin's words are meaningless and not sincere at all."

"Sincerity...it seems you don't have that either."

Qin Henian leaned back on the sofa, his mind racing. He was considering whether he should act alone, but he didn't know where the meteorite jade was... Just like Xiao Tiandao had said, the meteorite jade wouldn't release energy unless someone touched it. Not only did Xiao Tiandao not know where it was, but he couldn't even calculate it...

Tsk, things from outer space are really hard to deal with. Looks like I'll have to stick with Wu Xie and his guys.

Wu Erbai wasn't embarrassed by being shut down. He never had any shame when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't be in this position now.

"Let's not beat around the bush. Mr. Qin, it's better if we're frank about some things, otherwise we might suffer losses later."

Wu Erbai raised his right hand and rubbed his temples with two fingertips. After thinking for only a few seconds, he decided to reveal a little bit to test the waters.

"Sigh, Mr. Wu, talking to you is really tiring, even more tiring than talking to those ministers who like to give bad advice. Can't we just be honest with each other?"

"You Nine Gates deal with the people who are targeting you, I'm just a nobody, you can just play around with me, why are you so concerned about me?"

Qin Henian didn't want to get involved in the plot that Xiao Tiandao had told him, and he didn't want to have too much contact with humans. He just wanted to complete the mission and go home as soon as possible.

That's what Qin Henian was thinking at the time, but he was proven wrong not long after. Some things aren't about whether you want to be associated with them or not; the association just happens once you come into contact with them.

"A nobody? Mr. Qin might not be one."

Wu Erbai shook his head, placed the folding fan in his hand on the table, and leaned back on the sofa to answer.

"Is that so? If I say so, then so be it. I'm just a nobody. Mr. Wu and the people around you should not pay too much attention to me. I hate being monitored the most."

Qin Henian's eyes curved into a smile. He had already warned them that if the other party still didn't restrain themselves, then he would deal with them one by one or in pairs. He didn't care who was whose person, it had little to do with him.

When Qin Henian first returned to the hospital, he inexplicably felt that someone was watching him, and it seemed that they were not all from the same group.
