Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

In Peiping, Zhang Qishan and others successfully obtained the invitation to the Crescent Hotel auction from Zhen Peng Sanbian with the help of Jie Jiuye's plan.

But just as they settled down and were about to take a rest, they received news from their adjutant. Zhang Qishan immediately ordered someone to investigate.

Adjutant Zhang decided to start with Chenpi. After all, to investigate this matter, he had to first know who the foreign doctor was.

Adjutant Zhang came to the Hong Mansion to inquire and learned that Chenpi had gone out, saying that he was going to buy something for the Second Master's wife.

So he turned around and took people to the market to search for Chenpi's whereabouts.

The group searched from one end of the city to the other, and finally saw Chenpi walking into an alley where there was a sugar-coated rice cake stall.

Just as Adjutant Zhang was about to send someone up to capture the man, he saw another familiar figure.

'Miss? Why is she here?' Adjutant Zhang thought helplessly.

"When I went out for patrol this morning, didn't I specifically tell the guards at the door not to let the young lady go out alone? Why is she still... Well, that's right, who can stop the young lady except the Buddha?"

Adjutant Zhang regretted his naivety while thinking about what to do in the current situation.

————————————————————

On the other side, when Zhang Zixi woke up in the morning, she saw the adjutant leaving the room from the balcony of her room. She saw that the adjutant said something to the personal soldiers guarding the door before leaving. She immediately realized that she might not be able to go out easily today.

"But the adjutant is too naive. They want to stop me." Zhang Zixi thought as she used some tricks to sneak out. She didn't want to stay alone in such a big mansion.

After Zhang Zixi slipped out, she wandered around here and there, with a lot of food in her hands. As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she smelled a sweet smell and was attracted again.

"Sugar-coated baba? It looks delicious." Zhang Zhixi followed the aroma and walked closer, only to find that it was a small stall with the words "Sugar-coated baba" written on a cardboard next to it.

"Uncle, I want three sugar-coated cakes." Zhang Zixi said, holding up three fingers.

"Boss, I want all your sugar-coated cakes."

At the same time, this sentence was also uttered along with Zhang Zixi's voice.

The person who said this was Chenpi.

"I'm sorry, young man. This girl came first, and there are only three left today." The boss said to Chenpi with an apologetic look on his face.

"What's the difference between first and last? If I say I want them all, then they're all mine." Chen Pi was furious when he heard that. His master's wife was waiting at home, so there was no reason why he couldn't buy them back.

"Hey, are you being unreasonable? Do you understand the rule of first come first served?" Zhang Zixi was immediately furious as she heard Chenpi threatening the stall owner unreasonably and trying to steal her food.

When Chen Pi heard that someone dared to challenge him, he was about to teach him a lesson, but instead he lowered his head to look at Zhang Zixi, who was only as tall as her shoulders.

At this moment, Zhang Zixi happened to look up and stare at him.

'? Who is this person? ' Zhang Zhixi looked at Chenpi and was shocked.

'? This isn't the one from before...' Chen Pi looked at the person in front of him and fell into memories.

Chen Pi recalled that before he arrived in Changsha, he was chased by someone because of trouble. He was already injured at that time, and it was impossible for him to fight against so many people alone.

That night, the wind howled and a heavy rain fell. He had no choice but to stumble to an uninhabited, dilapidated house in the mountains to take shelter. He fell into a deep sleep without even having time to bandage his wounds.

When he woke up, the sky was clear.

When Chenpi stood up, he found that he was covered with a small but clean coat.

At the same time, he also found that his wounds had been roughly treated.

“Who could it be…?”

Just when Chen Pi was wondering, there was a noise outside the house. He quickly stood up and picked up the nine-claw hook to defend himself.

But unexpectedly, the person who ran in from outside was just a little girl holding a bamboo basket in her hand, and this little girl was 11-year-old Zhang Zixi.

She was so bored staying in the tribe that day that she wanted to watch the sunrise.

So she slipped out early and wanted to climb up the nearby hill, but she didn't expect that when she reached halfway up the mountain, she saw scattered bloodstains on the ground spreading into an old house.

She followed the blood trail to the front of the house, pushed open the door and saw a young man sleeping against the wall, his clothes soaked in blood.

She walked into the house and hastily cleaned the man's wound. Seeing that he was still unconscious, she took off her coat and covered him with it, fearing that he might catch a cold, and ran back to the tribe to get medicine and food.

"Are you awake? Are you okay? You're seriously injured." Zhang Zixi was not afraid when she saw Chenpi holding a weapon in his hand. She just motioned Chenpi to sit down. While asking about Chenpi's condition, she took out a medicine jar and bandage from the bamboo basket and applied medicine to his wound.

"Fortunately... I won't die..." Chen Pi saw that she was just a little girl and posed no threat to him, so he let down his guard. What's more, the wounds on his body really needed to be treated properly.
