Tomb Raiders: After the Nine Gates Ancestor, they let loose and did whatever they wanted!

Black Glasses opened the small package that Jellyfish Squeak handed him. A note was included, printed on Xuan paper like the kind used in pharmacies, and had a fresh herbal scent.

The handwriting on the note was elegant and flowing, as could be seen from the connected strokes.

Ji-yoon was a little anxious while writing, afraid that she would fall behind and leave a bad impression on her new friend.

Hello, I'm Ji-yoon.

My younger sister is mischievous; please forgive her if she offends you. Welcome Aqi and Xiaoguan home!

回见

(o??o)/〗

"Dumb guy, they're treating us like little kids! Door lock key, comic books, food and drinks, and motion sickness medicine!"

Black Glasses truly felt the importance that his complete strangers from the Ghost Spirit Sect placed on them.

A smile crept across his face; he secretly thought that the days ahead would definitely be anything but boring! ↗

( ??????w?????)??3??

Everything came in duplicate, and instructions were thoughtfully included.

The sisters' words, brimming with warmth and understanding, touched my heart.

The young official was also full of anticipation for these new friends with such diverse personalities! ↗

??′? ? `?????

Whether it was Feng Che, who was carefree and romantic, sending messages via spirit butterflies when Wei Wuxian left, or the quirky and clever Zhi Sheng...

Especially the gentle, considerate, and meticulous Zhiyun, the young prince felt that her personality was somewhat like his mother's.

Wei Wuxian: That's right, I also think Sister Yun is as gentle as my senior sister, but I'm also most afraid of her needles! ↘

(／(?)＼)

Looking at what he held in his hand, Black Glasses vaguely recalled scenes from his childhood: the young prince often went out, and only a few people knew about it.

He is the sole heir to the Prince's mansion; outsiders all believe he is a favored illegitimate son left behind by a collateral branch to curry favor with the royal family.

His mother would always give him such detailed instructions, taking care of everything, big or small, and preparing everything perfectly for him.

He put it in a small bundle, carried it on Xiao Qi's back himself, and sent him away through the secret passage, ostensibly to train him!

Mother would repeatedly instruct the young prince that he could only be addressed as "Qi Ze" when outside.

Because this name signifies blessings and good fortune, her Xiao Qi will surely be safe and sound...

(′?w?｀)

Whenever this topic came up, Mother's face would always be tinged with a bitterness that the young prince couldn't understand.

In private, they never call him by his full name, but affectionately call him by his Han surname, Xiao Qi.

As the heads of the royal palace, they were well aware of the oppression within this feudal dynasty, and the incurable twilight of monarchical autocracy beset by internal and external troubles.

They were merely victims of the changing times; their impending doom was only a matter of time, so they naturally needed to plan ahead.

Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them...

As for why his illustrious Mongolian surname couldn't be revealed, the young prince was too young and naive at the time.

It's really hard to understand the deeper meaning behind this. Isn't this an honor?

However, after being reprimanded a few times by his mother and father, he learned his lesson.

From then on, whenever he needed to introduce himself, he would obediently say his name was Qi Ze, thus concealing his true identity.

Outsiders simply do not believe that this Xiao Qi, who can only be called by the Han surname, is the youngest son of that old prince who is weak, sickly, and short-lived, and whom the prince protects like the apple of his eye!

╥﹏╥

The young prince had no idea what had happened; his world had changed overnight.

After waking up from a nap, he found himself inexplicably at the place where he had secretly met with his mother and mother.

—A Noah's Ark forged from the flesh and blood of its kin

When the young prince grew up, he understood his mother's bitterness, and why he was Qi Ze, and could only be Qi Ze.

Things have changed, and those who used to affectionately call him Xiao Qi are all gone...

He: I'm sorry, my child~

Dad was too busy taking care of himself to protect you, boohoo~

≥﹏≤

Later, Xiao Qi developed eye problems, and the pampered young prince was forced to do backbreaking, dirty work in the fields.

His exceptional talent allowed him to quickly rise to prominence in the underworld.

The young prince gave himself a new name—Blind Man. In this world, there is no young prince, no Qi Ze.

Only a lonely, weathered blind man walks alone...

Lingwu's friendly reminder: [On this basis, Xianzai'er appeared using empathy.]

Only after Xiaxia finally learned everything from back then; this previous part had burned a lot of the author's brain cells.

??Д???】

His classic attire—a leather jacket and glasses always on—earned him the nickname "Black Glasses" or "Black Blind Man" in the underworld.

●︿●

Now there's another group of like-minded immortals, which Black Glasses thinks is pretty good. Someone calling him Aqi is also nice!

Little Guan has no memory of his mother, whom he only met once; maternal love is currently missing from his life.

Ugh, those damned Zhang family!

{{|└(＞o＜ )┘|}}

However, Xiao Guan was in a great mood after receiving Ji Yoon's "motherly" warm care!

It was rare for him to show a smile that wasn't pixelated; the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

Like an ice lotus slowly blooming on a snow-capped mountain, he slumbers beneath the Tibetan sea flower, waiting only for the young official to appear before him, as gentle as his mother.

I'm currently fixing my dark glasses to restore my handsome appearance and eliminate my dark circles.

?▂?

It's a pity I missed this once-in-a-lifetime moment of Zhang Wei's smile!

Little Zhang Qiling, also foolishly imitating him, immediately used the Rejuvenation Talisman and obediently stuck it on.

He wanted the wounds on his hands and face to heal quickly, to cover up the fact that he had secretly bled them out.

(￣y▽￣)~*

Xiao Guan: "Brother Xian is here to pick us up~↗"

There's even medicine for the wounds, Ji-yoon unnie~ You're such a kind person!

Beep! A "good guy" card from the junior official~

( ???w??)???.?
