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

On the day when Adjutant Zhang married Jie Rong, although there was no big ceremony in the Zhang residence, it still gave enough face to the Jie family.

Zhang Zixi was in her room, looking out the window at the loud gongs and drums and firecrackers outside. Even if she tried to be patient, she found it hard to accept such a scene.

When the Xie family gets married, the Nine Gates will naturally appear.

"Second Master, you said that Miss Jie is quite capable, but she insisted on marrying someone who doesn't love her. How can she be happy?" Qi Tiezui came with Er Yuehong, and he started chatting with Er Yuehong on the way.

"Alas...how can love be forced? She is just still young and only wants to win the person she likes." Er Yuehong sighed while holding the girl's hand.

"Yeah, so I think this Jiu Ye is really a fool, just letting her do this."

"The same goes for Master Fo. He should know best that Adjutant Zhang doesn't like Jie Rong, but he forces him to marry her. Originally, he and Xier were in love with each other, but now this happens, neither of them is comfortable." Qi Tiezui said strangely.

"I'm afraid that even Master Buddha can't do anything this time. Master Buddha loves Xier so much, if he hadn't been really left with no other options, how could he let her suffer such an injustice." The Second Master sighed while looking out the window.

"If you ask me, it's really unbelievable that such a person came out of the Xie family..."

"Okay, Old Eight, stop talking. We are outsiders and it's not appropriate for us to comment on this matter." Er Yuehong saw that they were approaching Zhang's house and that Master Jiu was standing in front of the door welcoming guests, so she quickly spoke up to stop Qi Tiezui.

At the same time, there was one more person in Zhang Zixi's room.

That person is Chenpi.

"You're just going to watch him marry someone else? This doesn't seem like your style, Miss Zhang." Chen Pi knew that Zhang Zixi must be feeling uncomfortable, and he was too lazy to stay in the midst of all the flattering and pandering, so he came to her room to find her.

"I have no choice. It's her last name after all." Zhang Zixi was feeling aggrieved to begin with, and she felt even more aggrieved after hearing what he said.

"I think your taste in choosing people is not very good. You picked a fool instead of someone else. You don't even know how to be more careful with that kind of woman." Chen Pi said to her helplessly.

"Jie Jiu seems smart on weekdays, but he can't even see through this trick? I'm afraid no one in the Nine Gates can't see through it." Chen Pi thought for a moment and added.

"It's not that Master Jiu doesn't understand, but even if he does, he has to pretend not to understand. Jie Rong is his sister." Zhang Zixi said with a sigh.

"There aren't so many troubles. I can help you deal with her. It'll only take a blink of an eye." Chen Pi thought about how annoying it was to see Jie Rong looking so smug downstairs when he came up just now.

"Stop it, you've just taken office as the Fourth Master and you're planning to change your position."

"Besides, even though Jie Rong is annoying, Master Jie Jiu is truly talented and capable. The Nine Gates cannot do without him." Zhang Zixi knew Chen Pi's temper and was afraid that he would really take action in a hurry.

"So are you just going to let it go? You're going to let yourself suffer? I see you used to be so glorious but now you seem to be wilted." Chen Pi was very angry when he saw that she was not doing well at all.

"How is that possible? I'm just looking for evidence. How can this matter be reversed if there is no evidence to prove that it was Jie Rong who secretly did it?" Zhang Zixi explained.

"Did you find it?"

"No... My mind has been in a mess these days and I haven't figured out where to start." Zhang Zixi rubbed her eyebrows helplessly and said.

Zhang Zixi sighed and walked out of the room. She looked at Jie Rong who was already pulling Adjutant Zhang downstairs to toast her. She grabbed the handrail on the railing hard, calmed down for a while, turned around, went into the room, picked up her clothes and started to dress up.

"Are you trying to steal the bride?" Chen Pi asked in confusion as he saw her quickly decorating herself.

"What are you talking about? How could I do such a tasteless thing." Zhang Zixi replied to Chen Pi without stopping the movements of her hands.

"You don't know, this is also an invisible confrontation." Seeing Chenpi's look as if he didn't understand what she was saying, Zhang Zixi turned around and pointed at the rouge on her face and said.

"Come on, Fourth Master, accompany me downstairs to meet her. This Zhang Mansion is my home, there is no reason for me to let someone like her enjoy such glory." Zhang Zixi pulled Chenpi and walked downstairs.

Zhang Zixi's arrival naturally attracted the attention of the entire wedding banquet, but she seemed not to care. After greeting everyone, she picked up her favorite cakes and snacks and started eating.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm so glad you can come to my sister's wedding banquet. I'll drink this glass first as a sign of respect." The eldest sister of the Xie family noticed Zhang Zixi with her sharp eyes and wanted to go up to her with her glass in hand to remind her.

The eldest sister of the Xie family finished the wine in her glass without seeing any response from Zhang Zixi. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It is said that Miss Zhang is polite and virtuous. Now I see that she is not as good as the rumors say."

Seeing Zhang Zixi still eating the unfinished cake in her hand, the eldest sister of the Xie family did not get angry. She glanced at Chenpi and said sarcastically: "Miss Zhang, are you looking for a new love or are you planning something else?"

"I only reason with people who deserve reason. Miss Jie, you're not worthy." Zhang Zixi smiled and lowered her head as she listened to her words. She didn't even look at her and took the handkerchief handed to her by the servant and wiped her hands.

"I don't know if it's because you understand the bad morals of your family, or if you have your own meaning and will say what you mean. The Fourth Master and I have been friends since childhood, so please don't talk about everything in a vulgar way." After Zhang Zixi finished speaking, she pulled Chenpi away.

"Really... Even when I'm hungry and want to eat something, someone bothers me. This Jie family is so annoying." Zhang Zixi complained as she pulled Chenpi away.

"Hmph, you shouldn't have come down. Everyone's eyes are on you now, and you're still dressing up as if you're afraid that no one will see you." Chen Pi complained from the side.

"Sister Zhixi."

Zhang Yuxuan looked up and saw that it was Xie Rong who was walking towards them with Adjutant Zhang. She waved Chen Pi's hand to pull her away and whispered to him, "The fish has taken the bait. Why are we running?"

"Sister Zhixi, I'm so happy that you can come to my wedding banquet today." Jie Rong walked over holding Adjutant Zhang's arm with one hand and raised her glass with the other hand to toast her.

'Xi'er...' Adjutant Zhang felt uncomfortable seeing his beloved appear in such an occasion. Moreover, he noticed from the beginning that Chen Pi came down from Zhang Zixi's room, and the two had been staying together since they came down.
