Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

A large courtyard with three entrances and three exits appeared before everyone.

Guests entered the courtyard one after another, and the butler, dressed in a long gown, stood at the entrance to greet them with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

"Grandpa Liu gave two pearls to the family in the Jia-class courtyard."

"Lady White Snake has gifted me a ginseng root, please..."

"Isn't this Master Huang? What brings you here? Why did you bring any gifts? I'm just glad you've come to see the Fairy Maiden!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Various noisy groans and faint sounds of opera could be heard emanating from the brightly lit courtyard.

It looks like there's a theatrical troupe performing.

Su Chen shifted his gaze and saw the plaque above the gate of the courtyard.

Huang Mansion.

As Blackback Old Six watched this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Am I seeing things? How come there's a big courtyard here?"

"Is it an illusion or..."

He was a ruthless man, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

The courtyard was filled with red things, giving the impression that a wedding was being prepared.

"That Wong Tai Sin is quite the player!"

Looking at the things in front of him, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but speak up.

The name "Huang Mansion" practically screams "owner of this courtyard" on the faces of the people in the house.

Who else but Huang Xiangu could stay here under the name of Huang Mansion?

Blackback Sixth Brother's gaze fell on the butler at the door, his hand constantly rubbing the hilt of his knife. He was not sure if what he was seeing was a hallucination or something else.

But he knew that if he just grabbed a knife and slashed, that would be the end of it.

The steward of the Huang family, who was entertaining guests, felt a chill on his neck. When he saw the person standing there, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Blackback Six didn't draw his knife because Su Chen had already placed it on his blade.

"Don't rush. The clues we found here were all left by Huang Xiangu. It seems she invited us here. Wouldn't it be better not to go and take a look?"

Su Chen spoke slowly.

Black-backed Old Six was taken aback. He looked around carefully and seemed to think it was a rather novel experience, so he nodded and said.

"Let's go then."

When the Huang family steward saw the three people approaching, he was slightly flustered at first, but then he smiled and said...

"May I ask where you three come from?"

"The three of us are hunters from the mountains. We came here to escape the wind and snow, but we didn't expect it to be so lively. We've come to ask for a drink."

Su Chen didn't let Blackback Six speak; if that guy were to take action himself, he could probably tear this place apart.

However, this is most likely an illusion, so it's best not to take action and use something else to break the illusion.

As his voice fell, the Huang family steward became smug, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled as he spoke.

"Today is the joyous occasion of my fairy maiden's wedding, so naturally we welcome all guests. If the three of you would like to come in for a drink, you are certainly welcome."

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle and Black-backed Old Six exchanged glances.

The two of them were usually not very talkative, but faced with this bizarre scene, they could no longer remain silent.

Is Liu Dacheng getting married?

He's quite the ladies' man.

That's a really strong flavor.

This is truly an outstanding individual.

Su Chen had no idea what the two were talking about, but since Huang Xiangu had invited him and his group over, he decided not to be polite.

"Then I'll trouble you."

"I wonder what gifts the three of you have prepared to present so that I can register them."

The Huang family steward nodded with a smile, his mouth almost stretching to his ears.

His eyes, as he said those words, gradually lengthened, making him look like a mocking fox.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen glanced at the two people on either side of him and took out a few copper coins from his pocket.

"We don't have anything else, but would a few ancient coins be alright?"

"Not enough, not enough!"

The Huang family steward's voice became shrill, seemingly angered by his perfunctory behavior. He glared at Su Chen and took the initiative to demand the money.

"If you can't produce anything, you can offer your lives as a congratulatory gift to the fairy."

"Okay!"

Su Chen said generously, opening his hand to gesture for it to take it.

The steward of the Huang family chuckled and made way for the three of them to enter.

"please!"

Su Chen glanced at him, as if he remembered the guy's appearance.

Only after crossing the gate did Su Chen realize...

This courtyard is very elaborate, with a three-entrance, three-exit layout, and it looks extremely ancient.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, the three walked through a long corridor, which was decorated with red silk and the character for "double happiness" everywhere, making it look extremely lively.

Then we arrived at a courtyard with dozens of tables set up, and behind that was a tall stage.

Several pale-faced actresses, with makeup resembling paper dolls, began to sing in a low, guttural voice on stage.

Below the stage, an elderly woman with white hair, dressed in red, was smiling as she listened to the opera while holding melon seeds.

After listening for a while, he seemed quite satisfied and even patted the table.

Beside the old lady, Liu Dacheng, beaming with joy, chatted and laughed with her. He was dressed in a black outfit covered with the character for longevity.

That was clearly a shroud for the dead.

The three people stood out from the crowd, and many people were watching them when they appeared.

But after sensing the presence of Black-backed Sixth Brother and Partridge Whistle, their gazes turned hostile. However, they hesitated and did not make a move, seemingly thinking of the old lady sitting in front of them.

"It really is like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Liu Dacheng didn't realize what he was doing at all. He looked just like the master of the house."

At this point, Partridge Whistle suddenly paused and swore.

"Holy crap! Is this guy planning to marry Huang Xiangu?"

"You're overthinking it. He wasn't wearing any groom's attire. I bet it's his daughter who's staying. Liu Dacheng is practically a relative by marriage."

Su Chen spoke slowly, his tone tinged with surprise. To be honest, he hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

He quickly shook his head and slowly said.

"This guy is really unexpected, let's go check him out."

……

Liu Dacheng watched the play with a smile. He thought the performance was really good, much better than the ones he had heard in the village before.

In particular, the actress's figure was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"If you like it, my in-law, I'll send this opera troupe to you."

The old lady standing to the side said with a smile.

Liu Dacheng's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it's already a blessing that your son has taken a liking to my daughter. I absolutely cannot accept this."

Seeing this, the old lady smiled and waved her hand, but suddenly froze when she was about to speak.

A hand patted Liu Dacheng on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see a familiar face.

"Dacheng, it's been a day since I last saw you..."

"You've made something of yourself."
