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

In early spring, the willow trees by the West Lake gradually sprouted new buds. Winter was quietly retreating and spring was gradually emerging.

Zhang Hanyan opened the door and stood on the balcony on the second floor looking at Zhang Qiling in the garden.

Early in the morning, before the dew had even evaporated, he was already tending to his flowers and plants.

"Bro!"

When Zhang Qiling heard her call, he turned around and looked back, smiling at her.

"what happened?"

"No, I just wanted to ask what you want to eat in the morning."

"It's all right."

Zhang Hanyan nodded, walked slowly down from the second floor, and entered the kitchen under his fixed gaze.

Zhang Qiling threw away the dead branches and yellow leaves he had picked up, walked to the faucet to wash his hands, and was about to go to the kitchen to check when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He didn't need to think, he knew who was outside.

After the Chinese New Year, Wu Xie came to hang out with them almost every two days.

He walked to the door, opened it, and sure enough, he saw Wu Xie standing outside with a bright smile.

"Brother, do you think I am happy? I am definitely not here to eat for free today. I have something important to do. Xiaohua and the others will be here soon."

Zhang Qiling couldn't help but frown when he heard him say this. He subconsciously felt that they might have to be out for a while again.

"Brother, there's no need to close the door. Xiaohua and the others will be here soon, and I'm too lazy to open it later."

Wu Xie reopened the half-closed door, and smiled as he pulled Zhang Qiling back.

"Hanyan, I haven't eaten yet either, so please give me a portion of breakfast."

He stood at the kitchen door, ignoring Zhang Qiling's disdainful look, and blatantly said that he wanted to eat for free.

Zhang Hanyan looked up at Wu Xie and smiled slightly.

"Knowing you were coming today, I prepared yours."

"Really, but how did you know I was coming in advance?"

"Don't you come here every two days? Today's time is up."

Wu Xie lowered his head and chuckled, "It's mainly because your cooking is so delicious. I'll miss it if I don't eat it for a day, right, little brother?"

Zhang Qiling gave him an unabashed look without saying anything, but just one look was enough to express a thousand words.

Wu Xie didn't take Zhang Qiling's cold look seriously at all. He leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms over his chest, and smiled smugly.

"Wu Xie, I have to say, you are really thick-skinned."

Xie Yuchen stood quietly behind Wu Xie and spoke out of the blue, which gave Wu Xie a fright.

He turned around and looked back. Xie Yuchen looked at him, raised his chin slightly, and smiled.

"Xiaohua, why are you walking without making any sound? Don't you know that scaring people to death is so early in the morning?"

"I know. I did it on purpose. I can't stand your comfortable life."

"You!" Wu Xie's eyes rolled, and then he smiled, "I understand, you are just jealous of me because I can eat the food made by Han Yan from time to time!"

Xie Yuchen speechlessly pushed away Wu Xie's hand that was pointing at him, rolled his eyes, and didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

Zhang Qiling stood aside, looking expressionlessly at the two people who were bickering like elementary school students, and silently took two steps back.

"Okay, let's eat first and help bring it to the table."

Zhang Hanyan interrupted their fight, and they all turned to look at the breakfast that had just come out of the pot in the kitchen, and each of them took some to the living room.

"Xiaohua, you came all the way from Beijing, what's the matter?"

She put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth, looked up at Xie Yuchen and asked softly.

When Xie Yuchen thought of those people hiding in the Nine Gates, his face couldn't help but become filled with worry, and he no longer looked relaxed as before.

"Sister, after I returned to Beijing, I discovered new anomalies in the Nine Gates. Those people were hiding so well before that we didn't notice them.

Now that they are suddenly moving, I'm afraid they have received some instructions and are eager to seek something."

After he finished speaking, Wu Xie put down his bowl and chopsticks, put away the smile on his face, and sat up straight.

“There are many in the Wu family as well. They have been hiding in the Wu family for decades without any flaws.

If they hadn't suddenly started to move, we would probably not have been able to find them.

My second uncle and third uncle have already started to slowly eliminate those people, but in the process we found that they are intertwined and have special ways of communicating with each other.

It is impossible for us to completely eliminate them in a short period of time, but they are encroaching on the Nine Gates too quickly, and we don’t have much time left.”

Zhang Hanyan looked at Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen, both of whom had serious expressions on their faces, and nodded in understanding.

"Well, I get it. It's no use getting rid of their minions. If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again. We have to wipe out their base camp."

Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen looked at each other and saw the same joy in each other's eyes.

"But we don't even know who they are working for, let alone destroy their base. I'm afraid we won't be able to find it."

The joy in Xie Yuchen's eyes disappeared, and his brows were furrowed again, with a look of worry on his face.

"It's okay. I'll have the Zhang family investigate. We'll know the answer in three days at the latest. Come back in the morning three days later."

"Okay, then we'll leave first. Wu Xie, let's go. I'll stay at your house for the next few days."

Xie Yuchen pulled Wu Xie up from his seat with a smile and dragged him outside.

After Wu Xie struggled violently for a while, he realized that he couldn't get free, so he simply gave up and allowed himself to be dragged.

"Don't you have a home? Why do you have to live in my house?"

"It's only three days anyway, I'm too lazy to run back and forth."

"Then go find Black Glasses. Doesn't he also live in Hangzhou?"

Xie Yuchen suddenly stopped moving forward and looked at Wu Xie with a smile, but that smile contained an unspeakable chill.

"Wu Xie, if you keep on blabbering, I'll tell your second uncle that you owe me 200 million and ask him to help you pay it back!"

"You're talking nonsense. When did I ever owe you 200 million?"

Wu Xie's eyes widened in disbelief. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't imagine when he owed Li Yuchen 200 million.

"Why, weren't you the one who lit the sky lantern at the Crescent Hotel? Everyone in the underworld knows that you lit the sky lantern. I'm sure your second uncle knows about it, too."

"What's wrong with me lighting a sky lantern? The people at the Crescent Hotel said that I don't have to pay compensation."

Wu Xie looked puzzled. In the conference room of the Crescent Hotel, he clearly heard the people from the Crescent Hotel say that no compensation was required.

"That was said to my sister, not to you! Anyway, your uncle wasn't there, so I can say whatever I want."

A hint of pride emerged on Xie Yuchen's face. He tilted his head slightly and smiled. His smile was so bright that Wu Xie felt like he was having a heart attack.

"You! Now that you've been with Black Glasses for a long time, you're becoming more and more like him. Your heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys are all black!

Come on, come on, you just want to stay at my house for a few days? I can take you there, where are you going to stay, my house or the old Wu family house?"

Xie Yuchen thought about it seriously, and finally felt that it was more convenient to live in Wu Xie's house. He found it troublesome to deal with Wu Xie's grandmother, uncle and others from time to time in the Wu's old house.

"your home."

Wu Xie looked at the sparkling West Lake, sighed resignedly, and walked in front to lead Xie Yuchen.
