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

"How can you be sure that only your young master knows this thing? This is something recorded in ancient relics, in a cave in Qinling Mountains. Am I right?"

Cheng Ji did not reveal his identity directly, as it was not the right time yet. The boy just lazily leaned on the back of the chair and responded without even raising his head.

"How come you..."

Cheng Nian'an was about to say how he knew this when the veiled man interrupted him again: "The spatial valley in Qinling is not only accessible to your young master, and the inheritance and fragments passed down are not only accessible to your young master. If I'm not mistaken, your young master's ability to perform grudges was also gained from that inheritance, right? Then this can only be hung with his note, and no one else can touch it?"

Cheng Ji did not directly answer Cheng Nian'an's question, but just told him the location where the incomplete map was found. Although he failed to completely dispel Cheng Nian'an's doubts, he convinced the man to put down the sword.

Cheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cheng Nian'an put down the sword in his hand. Although they have basically confirmed that the man in front of them is Cheng Nian'an himself, he vaguely feels that something is not right. Cheng Ji probably has the same feeling, otherwise he would not have faced Cheng Nian'an's doubts and confidence without thinking of revealing his identity.

With an attitude of waiting and watching, Cheng Wei quickly asked Cheng Nian'an to continue: "These are all speculations. As for what the situation is, only Cheng Shuyu, the person involved, knows. Does Nian'an have any other discoveries? These are still very passive for us. After all, if we think along these lines, Cheng Shuyu should not have much time left, so the game she set up should be about to close."

Cheng Nian'an threw away the distracting thoughts that had just been triggered by this stranger, took a deep breath, sorted out his messy thoughts and continued, "Don't worry about this evil spirit, I have a way to deal with it. I didn't know where Cheng Shuyu hid it before, and I found it not long ago."

"Where?" Cheng An asked puzzledly.

He vaguely remembered that Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling had mentioned this before. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the one they killed in Tamutuo not long ago.

"Tamudu, the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West."

Sure enough, Cheng Wei and Cheng An looked at each other inconspicuously the moment Cheng Nian'an finished speaking, exchanged glances, and did not speak. Instead, they waited quietly for Cheng Nian'an to continue.

Cheng Nian'an hung his head with a heavy heart, and naturally did not notice the different expressions of the people present when he mentioned the place name. Then he continued, "If this evil spirit is eliminated, Cheng Shuyu will definitely suffer a great backlash. She has lived too comfortably for the past three thousand years."

"I'm not sure about the result of this backlash, but I can be sure that the blood she obtained from this evil spirit will at least be returned. With the concentration of her blood at the beginning, even if she can still survive, I'm afraid she will have to lie down with nutrient solution until she dies."

When Cheng An heard Cheng Nian'an's words, his fox eyes widened, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable shock and gloating: "So powerful, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Cheng Nian'an chuckled and shook his head, put the empty teacup on the table back to its original place, and then took the tablecloth under the table to carefully wipe the tea stains that had just splashed on the table.

Then he explained, "That woman is like Xiao Xiaoqiang. It's not easy to bring her down. I have been fighting her openly and secretly for so many years, and every time I was about to succeed, she was lucky enough to escape."

"Besides, the Wang family was raised by her, and now it is basically a done deal. She also captured a large number of Zhang family members and some branches of our family in order to continue the longevity experiment. Even if she dies, this plan will not be terminated, unless..."

"Unless someone uproots this family." Cheng Ji also put the empty teacup back to where it was originally supposed to be, just like Cheng Nian'an, and then said, "She is preparing for a rainy day. She is afraid that once the evil spirit is resurrected, it will take back everything that was done to her. So she wants to study these two problems before the evil spirit is resurrected: how ordinary people can obtain blood and how to improve blood to the extreme."

It's this guy again.

Cheng Nian'an's words were interrupted, and even his movements paused, but he soon returned to normal and continued to wipe the small area of ​​the table in front of him seriously, without such a violent reaction as before.

Instead, she continued as if she was explaining her last wishes, "Over the years, I have allowed the younger generations of the clan to serve as officials and concubines in the court, even in order to better receive news about Cheng Shuyu and restrict her actions. The world is different now than it was then. Except for a few of the younger generations of the clan who are still in high positions, they have all been easily taken down by the dogs she raised. The list is in the first room of the inner courtyard. You will be able to see where it is after you go in."

"It's a pity that that was the room I prepared for the young master, but I still didn't wait for him." Cheng Nian'an's eyes were filled with nostalgia and regret for his young master. He hesitantly took out a piece of letter paper that he always kept with him. The letter paper had turned yellow due to the passage of time, and he carefully placed it on the table that he had just wiped clean.

He stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door and stepped out, he didn't even look back. He frowned and said softly: "You must be tired after all the way here. If you need anything later, you can directly ask Xiaohui to prepare it. He is the kid who brought you in just now."

"time is limited."

"I have something to go."

By the time the last two sentences faintly reached the ears of a few people, the person had already walked away.

The room was silent for a while before someone spoke.

Cheng An had always been sitting closest to Cheng Nian'an, so he didn't even need to get up to reach the letter on the table.

After watching Cheng Nian'an disappear from their sight, Cheng An took the letter and handed it to Cheng Ji, who had just taken off his veil: "Aji, can you take a look?"

Cheng Ji took the letter but did not open it. Instead, he smiled and shook his head: "This kind of good thing is of course only interesting if the owner of the letter reads it together. Let's go."

As he spoke, Cheng Ji also stood up, stretched, and motioned for everyone to follow him.

When they came out of the house, it was already getting dark. Cheng Ji and his companions were walking on the path leading to the inner courtyard. Cheng An's mouths were busy and his questions popped up one after another.

"Aji, what were you guys talking about just now? Why did you hide it from him even though you were sure it was Nian An?"

Cheng Ji glanced at the person who was speaking, and casually pointed at Cheng Wei who was standing beside him: "Ask your brother, his brain has been rusty after thousands of years of not being used, Cheng Xiaoan."

Cheng Wei tilted his head to look at his elder brother, chuckled, put his arm around the man's shoulders and explained, "Cheng Nian'an's words were very strange just now, as if he was explaining his last wishes. Because he didn't know this was the young master, he thought there were only two of us from the same clan coming up, so he didn't need to hide anything."

"Given the extent to which that kid worships the young master, I'm afraid that after knowing his plan, he won't tell us at all and will go by himself when he finds a chance."

Cheng An reacted a little late: "You mean the way he dealt with the matter was very dangerous, so he didn't want Aji to know."

"...Brother, were you really listening carefully to the conversation just now?" Cheng Wei knew that his silly brother didn't like to use his brain, but he didn't expect his brain to be so slow.

Seeing that his little bastard was also mocking him, Cheng An raised his hand and slapped the little bastard on the back of his head: "I just want to ask to confirm, how can you unite with a fox like Cheng Ji?!"
