Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Having had a formal farewell in advance, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were much more relaxed as they faced yet another separation.

The two even prepared a table of fine wine and food, which was set up in the courtyard, with Yun Cai and A Gui both present.

Wu Xie and the others thought that the matter of Bana Ancient Tower was over, so they didn't hold back at the dinner table and briefly told each other about the incident of the collapsed shoulder they encountered on the mountain.

In particular, Wu Xie was somewhat worried about the hunched shoulders and the ruthless and decisive way he acted: "Now he is hiding in the mountains, and Panma Old Man is dead. Nobody knows if he will come out and hurt people again."

This was a ruthless character who could directly bombard crowds with cannons, preventing anyone from entering the ancient building by bombarding the mountain with artillery shells.

Wu Xie was always worried that his shoulder would collapse, as if he and his secrets were threatened, and that he would kill again.

At that time, Wu Xie and his group were hiding from Qiu Dekao's group and wanted to sneak into the ancient building, but they didn't expect to find him in Qiu Dekao's group halfway!

Wu Xie was stunned and almost doubted that he was actually not Wu Xie at all.

Wang Pangzi also became suspicious of Wu Xie, who was wearing a human skin mask, because of the other party's appearance.

Fortunately, the two still had a good understanding. After a series of sneaky and shady acts, they managed to tie up the fake Wu Xie by "sacrificing" the new buddy who had gone with them.

Unfortunately, the fake Wu Xie claimed that he was deliberately arranged by Xie Yuchen, and then released a lot of smokescreens.

Finally, after saying, "You're not as important as you think," he smashed Wu Xie's head open and threw his body off a cliff.

Fortunately, Wu Xie was lucky; he was in a state of shock where he appeared to be dead.

The fake Wu Xie didn't have enough time to confirm whether he was dead or not, which allowed Wu Xie to escape death once again.

After that, Wu Xie encountered the Slack Shoulders, and there he met Fatty Wang, who had been stripped naked, tied up like a piglet, and thrown into a mud pit.

Speaking of slumped shoulders, Fatty Wang clearly still harbors resentment about what happened to him back then.

If it weren't for Yun Cai and A Gui being there, he would have already started cursing. He was also very angry at the moment, saying, "This kind of guy kills people like slaughtering chickens, he's simply a lawless madman! He's even more ruthless than Fatty!"

When he met Yun Cai's eyes, Fatty Wang's anger paused, as if he finally remembered what role he played in A Gui and Yun Cai's relationship.

He tried to salvage the situation by saying, "I only compete with people in the business world in terms of ruthlessness. Who knew there would be people like this in real life? It's terrifying!"

At this point, how could Uncle Gui and Yun Cai not know that Wu Xie and his group weren't some big-time tourists?

However, no one deliberately exposed it. Now, the only person who can remember his original persona is probably Fatty Wang himself.

Ling Yue watched him boast, then turned his head and noticed that Yun Cai and Uncle A Gui didn't look too good.

Remembering what Fatty Wang had said about Yun Cai being shot dead after they left Zhang Family Ancient Building, Ling Yue felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Could it be that the one who killed Yun Cai was this hunchback hiding in the mountains?

Because it was a painful matter for Fatty Wang, Wu Xie wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative. Ling Yue only learned about Yun Cai's death because Fatty Wang himself had mentioned it.

The specifics are unknown.

But now that he's in this time period and knows that Yun Cai was shot to death, Fatty Wang doesn't seem to have any strong hatred towards any specific person when he mentions it.

This suggests that Yun Cai's death was not ultimately attributed to anyone he could have contacted at that time, namely Jude Kao's men and other associates.

In that case, it's actually quite easy to guess.

Ling Yue glanced at Fatty Wang, whose heart was completely filled with Yun Cai, and then looked at Yun Cai, who didn't seem to have much affection for him. He wasn't very optimistic about whether Fatty Wang would win the heart of the beauty in the end.

But for some people, this alone is enough to become a lifelong regret for another.

When Wu Xie reminded Uncle Gui to be careful when going up the mountain in the future, Ling Yue sighed, "Since you say that he is ruthless in killing people in order to keep the secret, he will probably still kill a few people after we leave."

She paused, picking up food with her chopsticks, as if she were just saying it casually: "The only person who knows that his horse is dead is that he needs to find a new villager to bring him supplies into the mountains. If this villager has too much curiosity and doesn't satisfy him, he will definitely kill him and choose again."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming more serious.

Especially Fatty Wang, he looked at Uncle Gui and Yun Cai, hesitated for a moment, and then suggested: "Uncle Gui, Yun Cai, why don't you come with me to the capital for a trip recently? That guy with the sloping shoulders is definitely not a good guy, he really doesn't hesitate to kill people!"

Uncle Gui, who had never thought of leaving the village, was surprisingly wavering this time. He looked at the clouds, but in the end, he said nothing.

Ling Yue didn't care; the final choice was their own business.

She at least said a few words, while Zhang Qilin ate from beginning to end, using his chopsticks with extreme dexterity, as if he didn't need to exert any effort at all.

Ling Duo glanced at him twice and knew that the strength in his wrist must be immense, and his control over his movements must be extremely precise.

After a farewell lunch, Fatty Wang organized a half-day tour of Banna Village in the afternoon, and he was in particularly high spirits.

—He hasn't even officially married into the family yet, but he already considers himself the village's son-in-law and a half-owner here.

Wu Xie's appearance, bearing the face of his third uncle, is actually quite unsuitable.

But thinking about today's parting, I don't know when I will be able to see Ling Yue and Zhang Qilin again.

Wu Xie couldn't bear to miss this "team building" activity, so he said, "Let's also go visit Xiao Hua as a group."

Ling Yue didn't care, Zhang Qilin relinquished his decision-making power, and Fatty Wang rubbed his hands together: "This can be considered as adding a touch of humanistic care to the first team building activity for our Iron Triangle and One Flower. Not bad, it has the flavor of thematic sublimation!"

Ling Yue took a moment to realize that the "flower" Wang Pangzi was referring to was himself.

Ling Yue reached out and touched the bamboo on his lower back, then looked up to meet Zhang Qilin's gaze as he silently looked over.

Ling Yue: "..."

Zhang Qilin: “…”

The Xie family's men have arrived, and the original plan was for them to leave immediately today.

But for some reason, they decided to leave tomorrow.

Wu Xie has already decided to hitch a ride with the Xie family to the city tomorrow, and he'll let them know on the way.

It's late summer now, and if you can simply leave your mind aside and appreciate the scenery, it's undoubtedly incredibly beautiful.

When Ling Yue heard from Fatty Wang that Zhang Qilin had once lived in seclusion here and farmed, he couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Qilin would continue farming after he went to Yucun.

Wu Xie only said that he wanted him to raise chickens, but he also secretly wanted to see Xiao Ge's chickens peck at Fatty's vegetable garden.

The four of them strolled from one end of the village to the other, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, almost as if they were treating a group visit to see the sickly-looking boss as a tourist attraction.

Ling Yue wasn't sure if Boss Jie could appreciate the humanistic care aspect.

Upon arriving at another flat village, they saw that Qiu Dekao's people were also packing up their belongings, and some had already left.

Wu Xie randomly grabbed a familiar-looking foreigner and asked if their boss had left. The foreigner said that their boss was unwell and had left this morning.

Wu Xie was still a little surprised, "You seemed quite healthy just a couple of days ago, how come you're suddenly unwell?"

Fatty Wang chuckled and said, "They were already active in Changsha back in the Republic of China era, so many years have passed. If you ask me, if they don't get old soon, they'll be practically immortal!"

When they arrived at the stilted house where Xie Yuchen and the others were temporarily staying, they saw Huo Xiuxiu standing downstairs giving instructions to the staff before they even went upstairs.

Upon seeing Huo Xiuxiu, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel guilty. He walked over, wanting to say something, but unsure of what to say.

Huo Xiuxiu forced a smile at him and said softly, "Brother Wu Xie, I know you have done your best."

Wu Xie lowered his head and gently patted Huo Xiuxiu's shoulder.

Huo Xiuxiu said, "You've come to see Brother Xiaohua, right? That's perfect. He woke up once yesterday and just woke up again during lunch. He probably hasn't gone back to sleep yet."

Wu Xie asked Xie Yuchen how her injuries were, and Huo Xiuxiu answered while glancing back at Ling Yue.

When Ling Yue noticed and looked over, Huo Xiuxiu politely returned his smile.
