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

Several people crawled out along the secret passage and arrived directly at the foot of Jishan Mountain.

Lin Yan and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if they had survived a disaster.

But Cheng Ji is not included.

The young man followed the team with his head down. His hair covered his beautiful eyes, making it difficult to tell his expression.

"Then we'll go first. Thank you for bringing us out." Lin Yan bowed and thanked them.

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling nodded in response.

After the two students left, only Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling were left, walking one after the other on the path at the foot of the mountain, and no one spoke a word.

"You can go back." After a while, Zhang Qiling spoke first.

Cheng Ji, unusually, did not refute: "Okay."

Zhang Qiling vaguely sensed something was wrong and turned to look at the young man following behind him.

The young man felt Zhang Qiling's scrutiny, but still did not look up. He whispered, "Brother wants me to go back, so I will go back."

Zhang Qiling thought the boy was having a temper tantrum, so he explained, "Cheng Ji, I am much older than you, and I don't need you to protect me like this."

Cheng Ji understood what he meant, but even though he knew that Zhang Qiling could handle it, he was unwilling to stand idly by.

"Brother, will we meet again?"

Zhang Qiling did not reply. The rationality of the Zhang family and the mission carried by the head of the Zhang family made it impossible for him to answer the young man's simple question.

He is a man without past and future. All his memories began on the day he took over as patriarch, and he will receive divine instruction in the future.

He couldn't even guarantee to the boy whether he would remember him the next time they met.

Cheng Ji smiled calmly and said nothing more.

To Zhang Qiling, he was just an outsider whom he had just met, a boss in the same industry who was brought in in exchange for the meteorite jade and who needed protection.

The end of this trip to Jishan means that his mission is also coming to an end.

As long as it is a dream, there will be a time to wake up. How dare he covet the gods?

The two stood facing each other until Zhang Qiling spoke again: "I'll take you to the station."

Cheng Ji shook his head: "Brother... If Patriarch Zhang has something urgent, please leave first. I will stay in the hotel for one night and leave tomorrow."

This was the first time that Zhang Qiling heard the most formal address from the boy's mouth. For some reason, it sounded a little harsh to him.

"gone."

He was a little overwhelmed by the unfamiliar emotions he had never experienced before.

But there are still many things he needs to do later, and Zhang Qiling can't take care of other things for the time being.

Watching Zhang Qiling's back disappear from his sight, Cheng Ji finally couldn't help but spit out the fishy-sweet taste in his throat.

The boy wiped the blood off the ground with his toes and sighed softly.

Sure enough, while inheriting Feng Hou Qimen's ability, he also inherited its side effects.

Unlike the Wuhou Qimen of the Zhuge family, the Wuhou Qimen is to set the center palace by oneself and set up a complete Qimen bureau within a certain range. In this space, they are the creators and can mobilize everything in the space at will.

Zhou Sheng, the creator of Fenghou Qimen, believed that everything in this world was inseparable from the word "change". He created this unique skill, which was the pinnacle of Qimen.

He can move the four plates and eight trigrams in the Qimen Bureau at will, controlling not only everything in the space, but also the time, temperature, and solar terms. He can even not follow the principles of life and death in this Qimen Bureau.

However, Fenghou Qimen also comes with powerful side effects. The five elements correspond to his own internal organs, and the disorder of the five elements will cause enormous damage to his body.

He had used Fenghou Qimen too many times during this period, and just now he forced himself to use Luanjinqi when he knew it was his limit. Then he suppressed the blood surging in his throat and fought and crawled through the secret passage to escape.

Now his body is at the end of its strength, and fortunately Zhang Qiling didn't say anything more, otherwise he really didn't know if he could hold on until he left.

Cheng Ji picked up a branch from the ground and used it as a walking stick, supporting him as he walked step by step to a nearby hotel to rest.

Arrived at the hotel room.

"Host, I'm back."

Xiao Qi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, which really scared the boy.

"Where have you been these two days? What's wrong with you? You didn't respond when I called you." The boy sat on the bed and asked with concern.

Xiao Qi's electronic voice was intermittent, unusually unclear compared to the past: "The host has good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news."

"The good news is that although this is not a mission issued by the system, since it fills in some of the loopholes in this small world, some rewards are specially issued. Host, would you like to claim it immediately?"

"Okay," Cheng Ji nodded.

Xiao Qi's cheerful electronic voice sounded again: "Okay host, congratulations to the host for completing the trip to Jishan and obtaining the inheritance of Chinese medicine."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the secret method of Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles and its matching silver needles. The Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles was created by Bian Que in the Warring States Period. Sun Simiao's "Prescriptions for Emergencies Volume 14. Wind Epilepsy Chapter 5" records that "Bian Que said: For diseases caused by hundreds of evil spirits, there are thirteen acupoints for needles. For the body of the needle, start from the Ghost Palace, then the Ghost Letter, then the Ghost Fortress, and then the Ghost Heart. It is not necessary to needle all the acupoints, just five or six acupoints will be enough.'"

Cheng Ji was not very excited when he saw these rewards. Instead, he asked calmly, "What about the bad news?"

He knew that the bad news that was equated with such a generous reward would not be simple.

Xiao Qi's signal seemed to be worse than before, and his voice was vague: "Host, due to some things, Xiao Qi will be in hibernation from now on, but it does not mean that he will not come back. When the main storyline of Grave Robbers' Chronicles is opened, Xiao Qi will wake up from hibernation. Host, you have to take care of yourself..."

After that, there was no more movement.

The young man was left sitting alone on the bed, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

******

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Lin Yan went home and closed the door as soon as possible. After making sure that the doors and windows were closed, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.

The man standing by the window turned sideways, revealing half of his face, while the other half was hidden in the darkness: "Did you see him?"

Lin Yan raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea: "Well, it's the same as the information received by the organization. The blood is special and there are many hidden cards. It should be that he knows some strange magic, which is very powerful."

The man sneered, "He's just a brat who doesn't know his own limitations. I don't understand why the organization doesn't just take action and just let us observe."

Lin Yan raised the corners of her mouth, looking at the man's back, and outlined a trace of mockery: "Do you really think the organization can do whatever it wants? Now is the most critical period in the plan to bring down the Zhang family. You insist on dealing with a child. If we let hundreds of years of plans and deployments go to waste, can you bear this responsibility?"

"And didn't you say that Zhang Qiling would have a good relationship with him? If I saw correctly just now, Zhang Qiling left alone, and the child didn't follow him."

"You have to understand one thing. My status in the organization is higher than yours. You are not qualified to question my decision."

After saying that, Lin Yan put down the teacup in her hand heavily, got up and went upstairs.

The man by the window had gloomy eyes. He cursed under his breath, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness again.
