Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Li Cu is a typical example of someone who forgets what she's been taught. After Ling Yue's cool and heroic rescue, she no longer shows any trace of the resentment she felt when she first saw her.

Like a little puppy, it circled around Ling Yue: "Ling Yue, you still haven't told me, are you from Wuzhou? Or do you work in Wuzhou?"

Ling Yue followed him around her, as long as it didn't affect her walking: "No, I'm here on a business trip with the second boss."

The landlord who sublets the property is called the second landlord, and the boss is the one who sublets the property. It is reasonable to call Zhang Rishan the second boss.

Li Cu's eyes sparkled: "That's great! Ling Yue, I just arrived yesterday too, what a coincidence! By the way, Ling Yue, can you do me a favor?"

Just then, he had something he wanted to investigate, and now that Ling Yue was there, he instantly felt like he could stand up straight again and wasn't afraid of anything!

Unlike Li Cu's blind confidence, Liang Wan, based on her years of experience being cheated on, intuitively felt that Ling Yue didn't seem interested in a little kid, and then readily agreed to help.

Liang Wan stared at Ling Yue, waiting to see how she would respond.

Ling Yue didn't say anything, he just smiled at Li Cu and reached out to press the elevator button.

The moment Liang Wan saw that smile, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning: Ah, just as she thought!

She thought she was subtly tugging at Li Cu's sleeve, trying to give him a heads-up.

However, Li Cu was so overjoyed to be reunited with Ling Yue that she couldn't think of anything else. She casually brushed away Ling Yue's hand that was tugging at her clothes.

What if we're pulling and tugging at each other in front of Ling Yue and he misunderstands?

"Oh, right, Ling Yue, this is Liang Wan, Sister Wan. She's here because her boyfriend dumped her, and she's still not giving up. She insists on coming with me to find out why he dumped her." Li Cu distanced himself from her, while also stabbing her in the back.

Liang Wan immediately exploded: "Hey, you little brat! Don't you have any conscience?! You, you, you...!"

Li Cu snorted: "Who's the heartless one? Who was it that just shouted that if you're going to arrest someone, arrest me instead of you?"

The rage that had been raging in Liang Wan's head was instantly extinguished. Still feeling a little guilty, he could only forcefully defend himself: "That's called strategy, don't you understand strategy!"

The two of them started arguing noisily right next to Ling Yue.

Like two chickens pecking at each other.

Ling Yue remained calm and collected, arms crossed. While waiting for the elevator, he pondered which other nearby restaurants seemed reliable.

As the elevator doors dinged open, what appeared before the three of them was a scarred man wearing a vest with a rather unfriendly expression.

And, a black German Shepherd.

Liang Wan and Li Cu were immediately surprised when they saw each other's faces clearly.

Liang Wan, even more agitated, took two steps forward and shouted, "Liar?!"

It was strikingly similar to Li Cu's earlier expression when he yelled "liar!" at Ling Yue.

This made Ling Yue's mind wander for a second, wondering if this scarred man was another scumbag ex of Liang Wan?

Compared to Old Master Duan, Ling Yue felt that Liang Wan's aesthetic sense had greatly improved.

Putting everything else aside, Old Master Duan's face and physique are indeed quite good.

Fortunately, Li Cu quickly brought Ling Yue back to his senses, "Sister Wan, stop talking, let's go!"

Although the purchase of red ropes involved a bit of deception and coercion, ultimately it was they themselves who were tricked into buying a large number of blessed red ropes.

Li Cu felt uneasy about provoking the other party over this matter.

Liang Wan understood this as well. She had just been too emotional, but after calming down, she came to her senses.

Glaring at the scarred man, Liang Wan squeezed into the elevator first, while still looking down at the large black dog, deliberately picking a fight: "Hey, how can you be like this? Don't you have any public decency? You don't even leash your dog when you go out?"

Li Cu and Ling Yue also went inside.

The scarred man didn't leave the elevator; instead, he peeked inside.

Upon seeing the leather-clad woman lying on the ground, and Huo Youxue, who was furiously making a phone call with a sinister expression, the scarred man immediately gasped, shrank back, and looked at Ling Yue with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Swallowing hard, the scarred man finally looked at Li Cu and Liang Wan, his shock bordering on utter disbelief: "You guys fought with the Huo family?!"

It's as if he didn't come here to fight the Huo family.

Although the acting was a bit exaggerated, the effect was remarkable.

Li Cu and Liang Wan were immediately stunned, their faces showing either solemnity or unease.

Li Cu instinctively shielded Ling Yue behind her, deliberately ignoring who had struck first, and asked, "What happened? What happened to the Huo family? Didn't they strike first?"

Liang Wan shrank behind Li Cu and squeezed against Ling Yue. She even turned back and gave Ling Yue a flattering smile.

The scarred man frowned: "The Huo family is very vengeful and holds grudges. Moreover, they have close ties with the Chen and Li families in the Nine Gates. This time, they are determined to target you for the treasure in Gutongjing. The Chen and Li families are also ruthless, and they want to get involved in this matter as well."

“I just saw the Huo family boss making a phone call, he must be notifying others. They definitely won't let this go until they bring you back and torture you severely to extract the information they want!”

Upon hearing this, Liang Wan's legs went weak with fear. Grabbing Ling Yue's arm, she said in a panic, "We...we should run away right now!"

Before Li Cu could speak, the scarred man frowned and shook his head: "Run? Where can you run to? Unless you can get abroad within ten minutes, you'll definitely be caught!"

How could you possibly get out of the country in ten minutes?!

Li Cu also found it a difficult situation.

No matter how powerful Ling Yue is, she can't be allowed to face dozens or hundreds of people by herself, can she?

Li Cu knew a little about the Nine Gates' power; they had just offended three families at once...

The scarred man then said at just the right moment, "I'm here on the old lady's orders to take you back to the Wu family to avoid trouble."

Before we knew it, the elevator had reached the first floor.

As soon as the elevator door opens.

Good heavens, it doesn't need another ten minutes!

There were already dozens of people standing outside.

There were women in leather jackets and other men and women in ordinary clothes, divided into two small groups. It was obvious at a glance that they were the Huo and Li families mentioned by the scarred man.

Li Cu murmured, "This came way too fast!"

Liang Wan was on the verge of tears: "I'll never be a fangirl again, I'll never date again, waaaaah..."

This unexpected turn of events caused the scarred man to lose his composure. He hurriedly told Ling Yue, "Please take them away, Miss Ling. Brother Xiaoman will take you to the Wu family! Hurry up!" He then grabbed a stainless steel trash can next to the elevator and rushed out first.

Li Cu exclaimed in surprise, "Who is Brother Xiaoman?!"

The black sheep that had been sitting quietly nudged his knees with its head, glanced at him, let out a "whoosh," turned around, nimbly slipped through his legs, and ran away.

Just as Ling Yue was about to lift his foot, someone suddenly lay down beside him.

Looking down, I saw Liang Wan sobbing, her eyes swollen with panda eyes: "I'm sorry, I... my legs are weak."

She didn't want to, but she had no experience in group fights. Starting with such a high intensity, she really couldn't handle it!

Ling Yue was speechless. He couldn't just leave the person like that, so he bent down and scooped the person up. "Can you hold me tight?"

If you can't hold on tight with your hands, then you'll have to carry it.

Liang Wan didn't know her plan and thought that if she said she couldn't hold her tight, she would abandon her. She was so scared that she quickly nodded: "I'll hold you tight, I'll hold you tight!"

She quickly wrapped her arms around Ling Yue's neck, wishing she could press herself completely into his embrace.

Once he was sure Liang Wan wouldn't fall, Ling Yue grabbed her leg with his left hand, pulled out the ink bamboo with his right, and turned back to tell Li Cu, "Stay within three steps of me, don't be afraid."

Li Cu, who was not afraid to begin with, nodded vigorously.

The scarred man had already walked into a pack of wolves, while Ling Yue was still carrying Liang Wan in his arms, along with a tall, imposing figure, yet he didn't stop walking away.

People kept rushing towards them.

Those who were comfortable with the kick were swiftly and cleanly kicked away, while those who weren't were simply flung aside, their long sticks swirling in the air like blooming dark green flowers.

Seeing that Ling Yue was a tough nut to crack, it was natural that some people would soon try to keep Li Cu away.

Thus, Li Cu became the "ball" under Ling Yue's long stick.

Someone pulled him, and the person who pulled him had his arm broken by a stick. He was also pushed aside by the stick, just in time to avoid a knife that was thrust at him from the side.

Another person swept his lower body forward, and Li Cu felt a gentle yet powerful force coming from his waist, which sent him flying.

In a flash, everything went black and then bright again. Li Cu staggered to the ground and, feeling dizzy, was forced to do a backflip.

Li Cu shook his head, and before he could figure out what was going on, the stick wrapped around his waist again, and he involuntarily turned forward in a half-circle.

As Ling Yue brushed past him, he held Liang Wan in one arm and stuck Li Cu with a stick in the other, then turned around and kicked him away.

Li Cu, whose footing was still a little off, was forcibly pulled back by the stick around his abdomen a second later, dodging the nine-clawed hook that was grabbing horizontally...

Unlike Li Cu, who was dizzy and running around the whole time, and was very tired even though he didn't do anything, he was different.

Liang Wan, who was clinging to Ling Yue, felt it was so cool, so handsome, and so romantic!

This is even more romantic than the classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenes in martial arts movies and idol dramas!

From initial anxiety and panic, Liang Wan quickly felt a strong sense of security from Ling Yue.

Despite the large number of people and the immense danger, she remained completely fearless, her movements swift, decisive, and unrestrained, exuding a commanding presence.

There is a kind of fearlessness and arrogance that can disregard the heavens and earth even if Mount Tai collapses before it.

How straight and long that leg was when it kicked out!

How white and slender are the fingers that turn the long stick!

And the muscles in her arms bulge during the movements; they are thin yet well-defined, with perfect curves.

Her waist was so slender, yet when she flipped, spun, and leaned back, she was so flexible and powerful...

Even her jawline is so captivating!

Liang Wan, sporting panda eyes, stared blankly up at Ling Yue, momentarily mesmerized.
