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

??: Warning of old routine ahead————

Three months later, the Nine-Door Banquet hosted by the Xie family arrived as scheduled. Every family arrived on time, and Adjutant Zhang also accompanied Zhang Qishan that day.

Jie Rong had dressed up carefully for a long time today. When she saw Adjutant Zhang coming, she ran over excitedly and wanted to hug him. "Adjutant brother! Adjutant brother! You're here! I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Adjutant Zhang saw her running towards him, frowned and took a step back, then hid behind Qi Tiezui, pulled his sleeve, and said pitifully, "Eighth Master...save me."

Qi Tiezui looked at him strangely, then looked at Jie Rong who was running over, and immediately guessed something.

"This... this Second Miss Jie, could it be that she is interested in you?" Qi Tiezui asked him softly.

"Eighth Master, you are too uninformed. She even wanted to hit someone because of this." Before Adjutant Zhang could reply, Huo Jinxi, who was watching the show from the side, spoke up.

"Who...who are you going to hit?" Qi Tiezui asked in bewilderment. "Isn't it Xi'er?"

"Yes. My people happened to see it at that time and came back to tell me." Huo Jinxi replied.

"This little girl looks very well-behaved, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful." Qi Tiezui commented in surprise.

"Fortunately, she didn't slap Xuan'er in the face. If she had, I'm afraid only eight of the nine gates would be left." Huo Jinxi sighed.

"Brother Adjutant, why are you hiding from me?" Seeing Adjutant Zhang hiding behind Qi Tiezui, Xie Rong was dissatisfied and wanted to pull him.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, um... what's your name, Jie... Jie... Jie..." Qi Tiezui pulled Adjutant Zhang behind him again. Just as he was about to stop Jie Rong, he suddenly forgot her name.

"Jie Rong." Huo Jinxi looked at Qi Tiezui who seemed useless and gave him a sidelong glance to remind him.

"Oh oh oh oh, yes, yes, Jie Rong." Qi Tiezui reacted with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Adjutant Zhang has someone in his heart. As a girl, you should know your limits, right? Don't bring shame to your Xie family."

Huo Jinxi, also a woman, has always liked Zhang Zixi. She thinks she is polite and virtuous, and admires her character very much. Zhang Zixi also has a good relationship with her niece, Xiaoxiangu, so she naturally speaks for Zhang Zixi.

"This fortune teller is about to spread the news throughout the entire Changsha city. Don't tell me you don't know about this." Seeing that she didn't answer, Huo Jinxi stared at her and added.

"Shouldn't you fight hard for the things you like? Ha, it's fine if you can't get what Mr. Huo likes, but why bother me? Don't think that no one in the Nine Gates knows what you feel for the Second Master!" Xie Rong heard her questioning herself and retorted unwillingly.

"You! You are such a frivolous and unreasonable girl! How could the Ninth Master have a sister like you? You are such a disgrace to our family!" Huo Jinxi was touched in a sore spot and said this to her before walking away in her high heels.

"Adjutant brother, let's play together. I haven't seen you for a long time." After seeing Huo Jinxi leave, Xie Rong resumed her coquettish and naughty attitude.

"Hey... good guy, this expression changes even faster than the ones in Second Master's opera garden." Qi Tiezui watched Jie Rong's attitude change and made a few comments in his mind.

"Well, Adjutant Zhang already has a lover, and he can't have anything to do with you anymore. Think about it, if the Lord Buddha knew about this, he would cut him into pieces." Qi Tiezui changed his strategy of persuasion, hoping that Jie Rong would give up sooner.

"I told you, things you like are stolen!" Xie Rong said as she took a quick step and grabbed Adjutant Zhang's wrist while Qi Tiezui wasn't paying attention and was about to pull him away.

"Oh no, Master Ba...Master Ba!"

"Miss Jie Er, please respect yourself!" Adjutant Zhang turned around to ask Qi Tiezui for help while struggling with his wrist.

"Oh my, what is going on!" Qi Tiezui slapped his thigh helplessly.

"Master Buddha! Oh Master Buddha! Stop talking, stop talking! Go and help the adjutant out of this situation!" Seeing that he could not stop it in time, Qi Tiezui had to quickly go find Zhang Qishan.

Xie Rong kept bringing people to her own boudoir. Adjutant Zhang was anxious but did not dare to hurt anyone, and looked helpless.

Fortunately, after Zhang Qishan heard what Qi Tiezui said, he quickly called Adjutant Zhang to his side. When Xie Rong saw that Zhang Qishan had spoken, she did not dare to make trouble anymore and had no choice but to let Adjutant Zhang go first.

??: The old routine is coming...

"Master Buddha..." Adjutant Zhang ran back to Zhang Qishan aggrievedly and called out.

"I didn't expect that our Xiaoshan is quite popular among girls." Zhang Qishan drank some wine, patted his shoulder and teased him.

"Master Buddha, please stop making fun of me." Adjutant Zhang replied helplessly.

"I, I, I, I, I only wish to win the heart of one lady in this life!" Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he raised three fingers and swore to Zhang Qishan in a serious manner.

"Why are you so nervous? I don't blame you." Zhang Qishan found his serious expression a little funny.

"...Yes..." Adjutant Zhang knew that he had misunderstood Master Buddha's intention, and scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

It was a rare occasion for all the people from the Nine Sects to get together. Everyone was in high spirits, and most of them were a little tipsy after drinking.

This was especially true for Adjutant Zhang, not only because as an adjutant he helped Zhang Qishan block a lot of alcohol, but also because the people in the Nine Gates were all celebrating his relationship with Zhang Zixi and gave him a lot more to drink.

The banquet had just begun when Adjutant Zhang was already drunk and unconscious.

Seeing that he was already drunk, Zhang Qishan said something to Jie Jiuye, who then arranged a room for him to rest and sober up.

Jie Rong, who was standing aside, pretended that her attention was not on Adjutant Zhang, but in fact she was secretly observing everything.

Adjutant Zhang was helped into a room, but he was so drunk that he took off his coat and fell asleep on the bed.

During this time, the door was opened and the person who came in was Jie Rong. After confirming that Adjutant Zhang was sleeping soundly, she took off her coat, ruffled her hair, gritted her teeth and pinched herself to leave some purple marks, then unbuttoned his coat and lay down next to Adjutant Zhang.
