Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

When the scarred man said he would take them to the Wu family to lay low, Ling Yue realized that this was part of Wu Xie's plan.

After leaving the restaurant, he led the two of them and followed the dog.

After walking for a while, Li Cu suddenly called out to Ling Yue, somewhat reluctantly reminding him, "Shouldn't we put her down?"

They had been carrying Liang Wan the whole way, waiting and waiting, but Ling Yue still hadn't put her down. Li Cu admitted that she was jealous.

Especially since Liang Wan kept staring at Ling Yue with that look in her eyes, not even blinking, how infuriating!

Ling Yue looked down and met Liang Wan's blank stare.

Liang Wan also came to her senses, but she was not embarrassed. Instead, she leaned her head into Ling Yue's arms, closed her eyes, and frowned.

Looking weak, he said, "Oh, I'm so dizzy, I'm sorry..."

She looked so weak and helpless, as if she might faint at any moment.

Liang Wan wasn't heavy, and Ling Yue really didn't want to waste time waiting for her to recover, which is why he hadn't put her down yet: "It's okay, let's talk when we get to the Wu family first."

The moment they were delayed, a group of people came chasing after them.

"stop!"

"Don't run!"

"Come on!"

It seems the scarred man has already been sacrificed.

Ling Yue ignored what Li Cu wanted to say and quickened his pace.

Helpless, Li Cu had no choice but to jog and chase after him.

The three of them entered the gate of Wusan Residence without any hindrance, and were led by someone who had been waiting for them to the main hall in the backyard.

Looking up, you see a plaque that reads "Lawless and Unruly" hanging above.

The first thing Ling Yue looked at was this plaque. He thought to himself that Wu Xie had really been influenced by his family's traditions and was indeed quite lawless.

An octogenarian with a full head of silver hair and gentle, elegant features sat under the plaque.

To the left of the old lady stood a vest that Ling Yue hadn't seen since yesterday, and to the right stood a tall, refined man in his sixties whose shrewdness couldn't be hidden even with gold-rimmed glasses.

This man had strong features, and the wrinkles on his face, etched by the passage of time, could not obscure his handsome appearance. His eyes and brows bore a resemblance to Wu Xie.

This person is probably the second uncle of Wu Xie that Kan Jian mentioned before, and now the rightful head of the Wu family.

The dog that had been leading Ling Yue and the others was now obediently sitting at the old lady's feet.

Upon seeing Ling Yue and the other two enter, the old lady first glanced at Ling Yue. Her gaze made Ling Yue frown slightly, and he turned to put Liang Wan down.

Liang Wan finally snapped out of her infatuation and belatedly realized how she had unwittingly returned to Wu Sanju, that den of wolves.

Last night, she and Li Cu saw Scarface dragging something inside and dismembering the body. The blood splattered all over the windows; it was terrifying!

Thinking of this, Liang Wan couldn't help but squeeze closer to Ling Yue, leaving Li Cu with nowhere to stand.

"You must be Li Cu?" The old lady finally spoke, smiling warmly and beckoning Li Cu over.

Li Cu glanced at Ling Yue, pursed her lips, and walked over.

The old lady patted his tense arm: "Don't be nervous. You are someone Wu Xie brought out, so you are a member of my Wu family. Those people are not qualified to touch you."

Li Cu actually understood that this person who resembled Wu Xie's grandmother must have a purpose.

But now the situation is beyond his control, and he can't rely entirely on Ling Yue to deal with those two families.

Having figured this out, Li Cu smiled awkwardly at the old lady.

Before he could rack his brains to figure out how to greet people, there was a loud knocking on the door.

The people chasing Ling Yue and his group have arrived!

Grandma Wu remained calm and said, "You three, go behind the screen for a while. Don't be afraid. With me here, they won't dare to do anything."

Ling Yue glanced at Kan Jian, who nodded slightly. Ling Yue didn't worry about it anymore and followed Liang Wan and Li Cu behind the screen.

A table had already been set up there, with several plates of steaming food on it.

The three sets of bowls and chopsticks laid out there already make the meaning quite clear.

Li Cu's eyes widened, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Is this really Wu Xie's home?"

How could you arrange everything so thoughtfully and meticulously, and be so hospitable!

Liang Wan instantly forgot about what happened here last night and quickly sat down. "Waaah, I'm so touched! I was just hungry! Little brat, Ling Yue, come on, let's eat!"

Ling Yue was indeed hungry.

Since the host family had to treat her well, she naturally couldn't refuse their kindness.

The moment the hot dish entered his mouth, Ling Yue thought about many things.

In the end, it all boils down to one sentence: Zhang Rishan, that old dummy, is indeed petty!

Kan Jian is a member of the Wu family, and he is here now. Ling Yue didn't need to think much to understand who the old friend Zhang Rishan said he wanted to visit on his first day in Wuzhou was.

Besides the old lady of the Wu family and Master Wu the Second, who else could it be?

They couldn't possibly go and visit the two families who had just chased them, asking the Huo and Li families to gather their men in advance so they could chop them up in the street today, could they?

Outside, Old Mrs. Wu and Huo Youxue and the others had a verbal exchange, while Li Cu and Liang Wan listened intently and stuffed food into their mouths.

Ling Yue ate earnestly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Two days in Wuzhou easily shattered Ling Yue's self-confidence that he could survive even by eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Some things can be bitter, sour, numbing, astringent, or even fishy, ​​smelly, or sticky, but they absolutely cannot be a combination of all three flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy!

The fact that Ling Yue is finally able to eat normal meals has had an impact that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

So if I can stay in Wuzhou during the remaining days, I can stay with the Wu family...

Li Cu suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? Is Old Mrs. Wu going to unleash the dogs on them?"

A chorus of barking dogs could be heard outside.

Liang Wan was still a little scared: "What if those dogs come and bite us too?!"

Ling Yue didn't even look up: "It's fake, the voice is too rhythmic."

Besides Huo Youxue from the Huo family, Li Qunao from the Li family was also present this time.

Although Li Qu Nao was a descendant of the Nine Gates Half-Li, he was greedy, lustful, cowardly, and afraid of trouble.

The reason I'm willing to go with Huo Youxue today is partly to try and fish in troubled waters and see if I can get any information about the ancient Tongjing treasure from Li Cu.

Secondly, his subordinates had shifted the blame to the Huo family in order to make money recently, and Huo Youxue happened to come to settle accounts with them these past two days.

Li Qunao was unwilling to pay money to settle the matter, so he agreed to her request and joined in to put pressure on the Wu family.

But if you really need him to do anything, you can't count on him.

Although she was fully aware of this, Old Mrs. Wu also knew that the Wu family's attitude could not be too harsh today.

Otherwise, if things fall apart, it won't be good for anyone.

After intimidating the visitors with the dog, Old Mrs. Wu softened her stance and had Kan Jian bring Li Cu out.

Li Cu wiped her mouth, hurriedly drank a sip of tea, glanced at Ling Yue, and felt a little uneasy.

Ling Yue slowly sipped his tea, rinsed his mouth, wiped his lips, and stood up: "I'll go with you."

Liang Wan, who hadn't originally wanted to go out, quickly stood up upon hearing this: "Me too!"

It's one thing for the little kid to go out alone, but Ling Yue has also left. Liang Wan is worried that something might happen and she'll be left behind.

The three of them went out and when they saw Li Cu, Huo Youxue and Li Qunao were excited. But when they saw Ling Yue, they immediately withdrew their feet.

This woman, whom no one in the underworld had ever heard of, was incredibly skilled, no less so than the famous "Southern Blind and Northern Mute" of the underworld.

Huo Youxue and Li Qunao exchanged a glance, secretly harboring resentment.

I wonder where Wu Xie found such a master!

Their plan to forcibly seize the property had to be abandoned.

Amidst Old Mrs. Wu's series of unreasonable accusations, claiming that Li Cu was her grandson Wu Xiaomao, and that Huo Youxue and others were trying to steal her grandson, the situation became chaotic.

Huo Youxue was unwilling to give up and immediately raised the banner of the Nine Gates Association to make a demand: "It was Wuxie who broke our Nine Gates rules. For the sake of your Wu family, we can't do anything to Wuxie now, but we must take this child away!"

Just as tensions were about to rise, Zhang Rishan suddenly walked out from the other side door, stood between the two groups of people, and coldly stared at Huo Youxue: "Boss Huo, do you want to represent the Nine Gates Association to ask our Qiongqi Company?"

When Zhang Rishan appeared, Liang Wan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously hid behind Ling Yue again.

Then, standing on tiptoe, he clung to Ling Yue's shoulders, revealing only his eyes to observe Zhang Rishan and the others.

After Zhang Rishan finished his act, he slowly turned around and saw Liang Wan looking like this.

Zhang Rishan's lips twitched, and he gave Ling Yue a look.

Ling Yue understood, but pretended not to see and didn't move.

Helpless, Zhang Rishan could only glance at Kanjian once more.

Kan Jian understood, nodded, and walked to Liang Wan's side.

I originally wanted to find a plausible excuse to trick people into going out, but I don't know if it was because I overheard Ling Yue talking about the love between grandparents and grandchildren in the car.

Kan Jian blurted out, "Chairman Zhang wants to talk to you alone. He wants you to wait for him outside."

After realizing what was happening, Kan Jian felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was watching him from behind.

Without daring to turn back, Kan Jian half-forced and half-coaxed Liang Wan away.
