Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Xiliu stood quietly behind Jin Wantang, looking at the fat man with a messy hair and wrinkled pajamas who was leaning against the door and roaring loudly.

He never understood in his heart why the person in front of him could always bring back such priceless things every time he went out.

Seeing that the fat man was talking more and more outrageously, Jin Wantang had no choice but to yell at him to stop him.

"Alright Fatty! Why don't you open your eyes and see who's behind me!"

"Who? Could it be that you found the person I asked you to find in just one night?" The fat man rolled his eyes speechlessly and looked at Xi Liu who was standing behind Jin Wantang.

Xiliu stood upright with a warm smile on her face, but if you looked closely, you would find that the smile did not reach her eyes.

"I heard that you got something good that ordinary people can't find again, so I came to take a look. I wonder... is it convenient?"

The fat man was completely stunned. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly several times before he was sure that the person he was looking for was really standing in front of him.

"Yes, of course. Please come in. I have all the stuff at home. They are first-rate goods. I guarantee you will like them after seeing them."

As he spoke, he opened the door, stepped aside to make way for the entrance, and welcomed Xiliu in.

After Xiliu went in, he put his arm around Jin Wantang's shoulders and whispered, "Great, Tangtang. Your speed of doing things is getting more and more amazing now!"

Jin Wantang's eyes rolled around. He had no intention of telling Fatty the truth. He was afraid that if he told him, Fatty would not give him the night pearl that he had promised to give him.

"That's right. Don't you see who I am? I have many friends in this field. It's not a problem to just ask about anyone."

The two of them walked quickly to the main hall where guests were received, laughing and joking. The fat man quickly took out his collection of tea to entertain Xiliu.

"This is our second time dealing with each other, and I still don't know your name?"

"The willows in the stream, the wild peach blossoms smile at the short bamboo fence, the willows in the stream sway in the clear water of the sand."

There was a faint smile on Xiliu's lips, and her gentle voice was as pleasant as the sound of creek water hitting rocks.

The fat man and Jin Wantang looked at each other. In the huge city of Beijing, most people in their line of work have heard of this name.

But most of them have only heard of him and have never seen his true face, let alone talked to him face to face.

Jin Wantang realized that the person sitting opposite him was a living golden thigh. As long as he could hold on to this thigh tightly, he would be able to get whatever he wanted in the future.

"Oh, look, we are so blind. The distinguished person is sitting right in front of us, but we didn't even know it was you, haha..."

He laughed twice and signaled the fat man with his eyes to quickly take out the things for others to look at.

The fat man naturally understood what he meant, but his purpose today was not to sell those beads. He wanted to know whether Xi Liu was the person Zhang Hanyan was looking for.

When he thought of what Zhang Hanyan asked him to ask, his eyes narrowed and he sat up straight.

“I believe that with your means in Beijing, you must have known long ago that it was me who asked Jin Wantang to find you.

To be honest, I came to you because a friend asked me to ask you something to confirm whether you are her old friend.

Xi Liu naturally knew that the fat man was looking for him, but he didn't know the reason behind it was like this.

My old friend? In this world, the only people who can be considered my old friends are... the Zhang family. Which Zhang family member became his friend?

If he fought with the Zhang family, it would not be surprising that he could bring back those things.

"Oh...I'd really like to know, who is your friend?"

The fat man smiled cheerfully, "Don't worry, she said that as long as you know the answer to the question, she will take you to see her."

When Jin Wantang, who was standing by, heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart, who is this fool who has the audacity to ask the person in front of him to go see her?

Xiliu sat silently, waiting for the fat man's questions.

"She asked me to ask you if you know a man named Qingsong. The Qing is the same as the pine and cypress."

This name seemed to immediately pull Xi Liu back to that solemn and mysterious family, the eldest elder who whipped him every day, the third elder who saved him from danger, and... the second elder who was good at sinister calculations.

His fists clenched unconsciously, his rosy thin lips were tightly pursed, and the emotions in his eyes were dark and unclear.

"I want to know if your friend's name is Zhang?"

"Yes! It seems that you know the person she is talking about? But I have to say it, Fatty, I think you two should be old friends, you look similar.

But... you are not as good-looking as that little brother. His face is the best-looking one I have ever seen."

The fat man's words made Xi Liu even more certain that the person robbing the tomb with him was a member of the Zhang family, but he was not sure who that person was yet.

"Would you mind telling me your friend's name?"

"Ah? Tell you her name? This...she didn't ask me to tell you her name. Otherwise, you can go and see for yourself and find out."

Xi Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, we'll set off early tomorrow morning. My car will pick you up at the entrance of the alley at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. This was the first time in all the years that he and Zhang Mo had been wandering outside that they had met a member of the Zhang family who had taken the initiative to look for him. He really wanted to know who that person was.

After he left, Jin Wantang stared at the fat man without blinking, and his meaning was very clear, asking him to fulfill his promise.

The fat man waved his hands helplessly, "Okay, I'll get it for you now! Look at your useless look..."

He walked into the inner room, took out the brocade bag containing the night pearls from the pocket of his clothes that he had thrown on the chair yesterday and walked out.

In front of Jin Wantang, she poured all the night pearls into her palm, carefully selected them for a long time, and then picked out the smallest night pearl and handed it to him.

"That's all?" Jin Wantang exclaimed, "You have so many, and you only give me the smallest one? This one is not even as big as my eye booger!"

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. If you don't want it, I'll put it away."

As the fat man was about to retract his outstretched hand, Jin Wantang saw that he was serious and hurriedly grabbed his wrist and snatched the small night pearl.

"Yes! Why not? No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat, right? How can I not want something that's free?"

Jin Wantang carefully looked at the night pearl in his hand, and after confirming that it was the real thing, he impatiently put it into his pocket, and kept holding it tightly with his hand, as if he was afraid that it would fall.
