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

As we emerged from the tunnel, the sun was setting.

A beautiful figure stood quietly at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, turning her head to look at Su Chen.

"you made it?"

Ayun's words carried a hint of joy, clearly showing surprise that Su Chen was able to walk out unharmed.

Su Chen originally wanted to go back to rest, but when he saw the person in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a hint of relief.

"I guess so, at least for now, I've gained their trust."

"That's enough for you."

Ayun led Su Chen towards the village. Along the way, she was heartbroken by what Su Chen had gone through these past few days and spoke up.

“I actually wanted to come find you, but the Wang family rules are too strict, and I couldn’t even speak up for you.”

Ayun wasn't talking nonsense. In that situation, if she had chosen to speak up for Su Chen, there would have been only one outcome in Wang Long's eyes.

That means both she and Su Chen have to die.

Personal feelings within the Wang family must not supersede the interests of the Wang family. This is an ironclad rule, a rule that must never be violated under any circumstances.

That's why she was able to say those words with some difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen seemed completely unconcerned and instead asked a question.

"What is Wang Gua's attitude?"

"them?"

Ayun was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Su Chen to ask such a question. She paused and thought for a while before speaking.

"They didn't say anything, and they didn't even seem to think there was a problem, so don't be surprised."

"For the Wang family, the only time they can show their emotions is during missions; at other times, they can't even have the slightest thought."

This is the Wang family.

A place where no personal will is permitted.

Su Chen wasn't surprised to hear this. As he learned more about the Wang family, he no longer needed to listen to what others had to say; what he had seen was enough to prove it.

For example, in Wangjia Village at this moment, the reddish sunset hangs on the trees, and at first glance, it seems like a peaceful scene. But if you look closely, you will find...

Even the materials and layout of these houses were deliberately arranged.

With its gray walls and black tiles, even the layout of the courtyards is largely the same. Everything here tells visitors that people cannot have their own will.

That's why, after only staying in Sujia Village for a short time, Ayun was so captivated that she refused to come back.

But some things are beyond her control.

Back in Su Chen's room, A Yun, holding a neat set of clothes, spoke calmly.

“I know the Wang family can’t be wiped out, so I didn’t expect you to do it. I just hope you can give this clothing to him for me and tell him not to wait for me anymore.”

Su Chen stared at the clothes and fell silent, not taking them.

Seeing this, Ayun took the initiative to place the clothes next to him and said softly.

"I know there are some things I shouldn't say, but I can't help but say them."

"There are some things you should tell him yourself."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked at her somewhat awkwardly. These were not words that an ordinary person would say, but since he had heard them, he had to say something.

Only then did he speak in response.

Upon hearing this, Ayun gave a wry smile and gently shook her head.

Some things, once missed, are missed forever. Even if she felt regret, what could she do? She never had the right to continue living.

She had just opened the door when she saw a row of figures like a black city wall, and she froze on the spot.

"Clan...Clan Chief?"

"I knew you two were having an affair. Although you hid it well, I found out a long time ago."

Wang Heng toyed with the stone in his hand and said calmly.

As the head of the Wang family, how could he possibly trust Su Chen?

Although Su Chen gained so-called trust, this trust was originally just a show for him, and also an excuse to let Wang Heng figure out what Su Chen really wanted.

Because he couldn't understand why someone like Su Chen shouldn't have this kind of reaction, and shouldn't have appeared in front of him in the first place, yet Su Chen was indeed standing there, without a doubt.

That's why things turned out this way.

A faint smell of blood filled the room. Su Chen glanced at Wang Heng but didn't answer. Instead, he looked at him and said...

"You smell of blood?"

"The Wang family no longer has any elders; those guys only hinder the Wang family's development."

Wang Heng felt that someone needed to know what he had done and that people needed to understand his actions, which is why he spoke out.

As his voice fell silent, everyone present instinctively fell silent. Although they wanted to deny it, the situation at that moment made it clear to them.

What exactly happened at this moment?

Upon hearing this, A-Yun turned pale and instinctively stepped back.

Behind her, a voice that made him feel at ease rang out.

"You never trusted me from the beginning? You arranged all this just to draw everyone's attention so you could deal with those elders?"

“These old guys have a deep grip on the Wang family, but that doesn’t matter anymore. Now the Wang family is completely united under my control, and your existence has become meaningless.”

Wang Heng played with the red stone in his hand. The slightly cool touch gradually calmed him down, rather than wasting time talking to the other party.

Yes, from the very beginning, Wang Heng wanted to use Su Chen's existence to attract other people's attention, so that they would forget about his plans.

He glanced at Ayun and spoke expressionlessly.

"However, what I didn't expect was that there would actually be a traitor in the Wang family. I never thought that you would actually dare to betray the Wang family."

“Patriarch, the Wang family is far too restrictive. You have no idea what the outside world is like. Outside, I can do whatever I want!”

Snapped!

Wang Heng slapped her across the face, his eyes filled with anger.

Clearly, A-Yun's reaction angered him more, as if Su Chen, an outsider, was completely insignificant to him, while A-Yun's reaction was crucial to the survival of the Wang family.

"I've said it many times: the purpose of the Wang family is to continue the Wang family's victory over the Nine Gates. Don't think about anything else, and you have no right to think about anything else."

"These are my last words. If you still can't do it, then I'll kill you with my own hands!"

Under Wang Heng's words, A Yun seemed to lose all resistance and stood there at a loss.
