Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

"I promise to eradicate the poison from your master's wife, but I have a condition."

Cheng Ji tapped the coffee table with his index finger bent, and then said, "You are not allowed to interfere in any actions of the Zhang family. But I'm not talking about the Zhang in Zhang Qishan's name, you will know it later."

"Also, you listened to slander and started a war against the master who raised and taught you, insulting him and destroying the religion. I can't make the decision for the Second Master, but before you have a clear attitude, the position of the Fourth Master of the Nine Sects cannot be given to you."

Chen Pi knelt in front of Er Yue Hong with his head down. Unlike his usual demeanor, he looked dejected.

Er Yuehong sighed, "This is also because I didn't teach Chenpi well. After all, this is Er Yuehong's family affair, so I won't waste your time here. Business is more important."

Seeing Er Yuehong say this, Zhang Qishan immediately interrupted and finished what he had just said: "I just received news that Lu Jianxun reported me for abusing my military power and secretly leading a team to the tomb to collect the treasures in the tomb and take them for myself."

Cheng Ji chuckled: "Did he see it?"

"Can…"

Seeing that Zhang Qishan was about to say something, Cheng Ji stood up and walked to the window, closed the window for ventilation, turned his head and interrupted Zhang Qishan with a smile: "I heard that Lu, the intelligence agent, has been coveting the ancient tomb for a long time, and he is willing to collude with the Japanese to find out what is going on in the tomb."

"However, our intelligence officer Lu was unlucky. He happened to encounter a haunted mine and was scared to death. Fortunately, our Changsha garrison officer Zhang Qishan was very capable. He was concerned about the country and the people, so he risked his life to enter the mine and quell the disaster. He also discovered the secret that the Japanese had conducted human experiments in the mine."

Cheng Ji's smile was not reflected in his eyes, and he threw the words to Zhang Qishan: "Master Buddha is the hope of the people of Changsha."

Zhang Qishan also personally experienced the feeling of Chen Pi being on pins and needles just now.

Just a few words determined Lu Jianxun's death!

The boy in front of him was only eighteen years old, but he was extremely cunning. The people present were all well-known figures in Changsha City, and they were so shocked by such a child that they dared not say anything.

The next evening——

Cheng Ji appeared in the Hong Mansion.

Er Yuehong and the girl sat opposite Cheng Ji, chatting with the young man in front of them while drinking tea.

"Sister Girl, don't take off the bracelet I gave you. There are restrictions I set on it. If there is any danger or you encounter a problem that even I can't solve, cut the bracelet and I will be able to sense it."

Cheng Ji still had the familiar smile on his face, but there was a hint of sincerity towards Er Yuehong and his wife.

When the girl heard Cheng Ji's parting words, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Are you going on a long journey?"

Cheng Ji fiddled with the medicine bottle in his hand and replied, "Changsha City is temporarily safe now. Lu Jianxun died in the mine, and the bridge that Qiu Dekao and Tanaka Yoshiko had just built collapsed. They will not act rashly in the short term."

"And I have already got what they wanted under the mine. It's just that this thing cannot be made public. It will be much safer if it is kept with me."

Er Yuehong couldn't help but feel a little curious, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say much. After all, Cheng Ji was the only one who went in in the end.

Since he chose to go in alone, the origin of this thing must be extraordinary, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Noticing Er Yuehong's hesitation, Cheng Ji said, "Second Master, you want to ask what is in the mine, right?"

Er Yuehong was stunned when he heard this. The boy's question was very direct but not aggressive.

The boy's tone and the look in his eyes told him:

He trusts him very much.

He asked the boy this question many times, and the boy repeatedly joked and changed the subject, and a few times he even used the fate he had accumulated in his previous life to brush him off.

But subconscious actions and words cannot deceive people.

Er Yuehong claimed that he was not a good person, but the young man had helped him and shown kindness to him time and again, and even the hardest heart would be melted.

"Would you like to tell me? I will keep this secret for you."

Cheng Ji naturally noticed the change in Er Yue's red eyes: "It's nothing, it's just that those who covet it treat it as a treasure."

"That's the tomb of Qing Wuzi down there. Second Master is well-informed, so you should have heard of meteorite jade."

Er Yuehong's expression changed slightly: "Are you saying that the thing below is meteorite jade?"

Cheng Ji nodded: "That's right, that's why Cheng Ji took the initiative to go and get it alone. After all, if this thing were to appear in the world, the turmoil it would cause can be imagined."

"There are three meteorite jades in total. Legend has it that they fell in Changsha, Qaidam and the Northeast. The one in Qingwuzi's hand is the one in Changsha, but it's not quite accurate. He only has a small piece, and I don't know where the rest is. There is no relevant record either."

"Just this small piece can drive those mice hiding behind it crazy for a long time." Cheng Ji lowered his eyes and sighed.

Er Yuehong has always known that Cheng Ji knows a lot of things that they don't know. But he really didn't expect that he knew so much: "You mean the person hiding behind?"

When Cheng Ji thought about the relationship between Er Yuehong and Zhang Qishan, he couldn't help but feel a little unfair for Er Yuehong.

Why on earth were the Second Master and even the Nine Gates so devoted to him, Zhang Qishan, but he used the entire Nine Gates to divert the attention of the people behind him and used the lives of the people of the Nine Gates to implement his plan?

"Let me tell you a story."

"please say."

Cheng Ji told the story of Wang Canghai and the Zhang family in the reception room of the Hong Mansion.
