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

Wu Xie sat back in his chair with a sad face. He thought of the phone call he received last night, and suddenly his heart and eyes were filled with resentment.

"It's all my second uncle. He called me last night and asked me to go back. He said if I didn't, he would break my legs."

"It's not a festival, why would he ask you to go back for no reason?"

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie in confusion, wondering what could have happened that could make Wu Erbai threaten Wu Xie with such words.

"He asked me to go back for a blind date. He said that the daughter of a friend of his happened to be home for the holiday and asked me to go back to meet her."

"Forehead......"

After listening to what Wu Xie said, Xie Yuchen was speechless. He opened and closed his lips several times, but he couldn't think of what to say.

"Blind date!"

The fat man jumped up from the rocking chair and moved it closer to Wu Xie. He raised his eyebrows and a very ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Tian Zhen, are you ready to get out of being single? Otherwise, Fatty, I'll go with you to meet her and see if she's a good match for you?"

"Get lost! I will definitely not go back. Anyone who goes back is a fool!"

Wu Xie frantically moved the chair under his butt to get away from the fat man who was smiling obscenely.

"If you don't go back, aren't you afraid that your second uncle will come here to arrest you? Who among these nine sects doesn't know your second uncle's methods?

I remember you said that after your third uncle went home on New Year’s Eve, your second uncle punished him by making him kneel with a ruler on his head for a whole day on New Year’s Day.”

Xie Yuchen said with a half-smile, his brows full of undisguised gloating.

"If he has the guts, then come. Anyway, I will definitely not go back. Whoever goes back for a blind date will be a grandson!"

When Fatty saw Wu Xie say such harsh words, he knew that Wu Xie was determined not to go back for the blind date.

"Okay, Tian Zhen, since you have made up your mind, then... just stay here. Brother and Han Yan are here anyway. Even if your second uncle comes, he won't dare to do anything to you."

"Then he can't just stay away from home forever, right?"

Xie Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and chuckled a few times.

"Why not go back? Who among you wants to go back?"

Zhang Hanyan walked over to sit next to Zhang Qiling. She looked at him and smiled, revealing her neat teeth.

"Brother, who among them wants to go back?"

"Wu Xie, go back for the blind date. If you don't go back, his second uncle will come and break his legs."

Zhang Qiling's eyes flickered, his thin lips slightly raised, and his dark eyes were full of smiles.

Huo Xiuxiu and Yuncai walked into the living room one after another, each found a seat to sit down, and looked at Wu Xie.

"Hey, please stop looking at me. I'm definitely not going back. If my second uncle wants to punish me, remember to protect me."

As soon as Wu Xie finished speaking, Xie Yuchen, Huo Xiuxiu, Fatty, and Hei Xiazi all shook their heads in unison.

"That won't work. What if we fail to save you and your uncle comes to deal with us as well?"

"That's right, Brother Wu Xie, your second uncle is well-connected to both the black and white worlds, and his methods of torturing people are top-notch. It's so scary."

"Although I am not from the Nine Gates, I have heard about your second uncle's deeds. I can't help you with this matter."

"If your second uncle is willing to pay, I can help him tie you back."

"You are so obsessed with money! And the rest of you have no sense of loyalty. Why should I be afraid of my second uncle? No matter how powerful he is, my grandma can still make him obedient."

Wu Xie stood up and looked around at the people who refused to help. He put his hands on his hips, and thought of the way his grandmother dealt with Wu Erbai, with a smug look on his face.

"But Wu Xie, your grandmother and your second uncle seem to be on the same side when it comes to your blind date and marriage."

Zhang Hanyan spoke suddenly, and an invisible knife instantly pierced Wu Xie's beating heart, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Everyone in the room was trying to hold back their laughter, and their facial features were distorted.

"Hahaha... Hanyan, I have to say, you and my brother are exactly the same when it comes to finishing off the enemy."

The fat man laughed with his face raised, a few tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he laughed so hard that he was out of breath.

Xie Yuchen, Huo Xiuxiu, Hei Xiazi and Yun Cai were also laughing so hard that they fell backwards, not feeling sorry for the poor Wu Xie at all.

"Hahahaha...Brother Wu Xie, you are so pitiful. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard..."

Zhang Qiling was stunned for a moment after hearing what Zhang Hanyan said, then he lowered his head and bit his lip and chuckled, as if he had been holding back a lot of laughter.

"You guys...you guys are really going too far! Humph!"

Wu Xie sat down, looked at Zhang Hanyan and shook his head slightly.

"Anyway, I don't care. I'll just stay here. You guys have to protect me even if you don't want to!

When the time comes, I will tell my second uncle that it was you who didn’t let me go back. We are all brothers, so of course we should share the good times and the bad times together.”

When everyone heard him say this, they all stopped smiling and looked at Wu Xie eagerly.

"In that case, you should first try to see if my fist is hard enough!"

Xie Yuchen quickly leaped towards Wu Xie. When he was about to reach Wu Xie, Wu Xie dodged sideways and ran straight out the door.

The two chased each other in the courtyard. Xie Yuchen teased Wu Xie like he was teasing a puppy, making Wu Xie so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

Zhang Hanyan leaned on Zhang Qiling, looked at Wu Xie who was running for his life in the courtyard, and burst out laughing.

Zhang Qiling looked at her sideways. When he saw her grinning like that, he pursed his lips at first, then he couldn't help laughing.

"Alright, alright, I give up. I can't beat you."

Wu Xie stood up breathlessly, holding on to the pillar, paying attention to Xie Yuchen's movements at all times.

He was afraid that Xie Yuchen would attack him when he was not prepared.

Xie Yuchen saw what Wu Xie meant. He sneered disdainfully, walked to Wu Xie's side, and stood with his arms folded over his chest.

"If I were to sneak attack a rookie like you and the news gets out, will my reputation as Little Nine Master of the Capital City still be in jeopardy?

Okay, it's so hot outside, I'll go inside to cool off, you stay here and bask in the sun."

He left after he finished speaking, leaving Wu Xie standing there, looking at his receding figure, indignant and angry.

In the afternoon, the clear blue sky was without a single cloud. The sun baked the ground scorching hot. A gust of wind blew, bringing up a suffocating heat wave.

Under the fat man's pleading and instigation, everyone finally couldn't resist the urge to go down to the river to play in the water.

They packed up their fishing rods and buckets, and wearing refreshing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, they went deep into the back mountain. After a trek, they stopped by the crystal clear river.

"Someone had been here before and had a bonfire."

Hei Xia Zi kicked the black firewood on the ground with his feet, and fish bones hidden in the ashes could be vaguely seen.

"We have been here to fish before. There are a lot of fish here. We will catch some more and go back to eat them in the evening."

The fat man put the fishing rod on his back on the lawn, took off his shoes in no time, and jumped into the water.
