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

Zhang Hanyan slowly put down the sword in his hand, looked at Qingsong with a frosty face and asked sternly.

"What have you done to my master? Where is he!"

Qingsong was not in a hurry to answer, but signaled the other elders to help him stand up and sit on the mahogany armchair in the middle.

He leisurely straightened the hem of his clothes which had been torn into strips, and his every move was filled with the strategic planning that a person in power should have.

"He... is of course where he should be, haha... judging from your reaction, it seems that you still have someone you care about.

As long as you have someone you care about, I will be able to find your weak spot. Now, put down your sword!"

Facing Qingsong's threat, Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling looked at each other. After he frowned and nodded, she decisively threw away the sword in her hand.

The long sword fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Seeing how obedient they were, Qingsong immediately burst into laughter, with pride in his eyes.

"Hahaha, good! Now, we can have a good talk about Zhang Qiling's succession as clan leader."

He turned his head to look at the backpack thrown in the corner, and a corner of the bronze bell in the backpack was visible from the open gap.

"Zhang Qiling, I want you to officially become the patriarch of the Zhang family, shoulder the responsibility of the Zhang family's inheritance for thousands of years, and continue to protect what the Zhang family has protected."

He paused for a moment, turned his gaze away from the backpack and looked at Zhang Hanyan.

“Zhang Hanyan, your ability to summon lightning just now reminds me of a legend that has existed in the Zhang family for thousands of years.

That legend has been passed down among the top leaders of the Zhang family since the founding of the family, and has been passed down from generation to generation.

According to that legend, a woman with extraordinary powers will appear in the Zhang family. That woman can save the Zhang family from danger.

However, the Zhang family has existed in the world for thousands of years, but the legendary woman has never appeared.

Until today, when I saw you summon thunder and lightning, and thought of your past, I was sure that you were the woman in the legend.

That woman who can save the Zhang family from danger, the legendary saint!"

Qingsong stared at Zhang Hanyan without blinking, without moving his eyes even a bit.

If he hadn't been talking the whole time, at first glance, one would probably have thought there was a dummy sitting there.

His words made Zhang Hanyan frown. She carefully recalled the plot of the novel, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not find any trace of the existence of the Saint of the Zhang Family.

System, what's going on? What's going on with this legend of a saint that appeared out of nowhere? Is there a bug?

[I don't know either. How did a new main character appear out of nowhere? ]

You ask me? Who should I ask? Go check the main system!

[Okay, I'll go right away! ]

Zhang Qiling looked at Zhang Hanyan in surprise, who was obviously unhappy. He knew this legend, but he couldn't believe that Zhang Hanyan would be the person in the legend.

"Han Yan... I know this legend."

Zhang Hanyan turned her head and looked at him. "You know? That means they didn't make it up to deceive people?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head slightly, which meant that there really was no truth in it. What Qingsong and the elders said was true and they were not lying.

She looked at the elders standing under the eaves with a little disdain, and finally fixed her gaze on Qingsong, the only one sitting.

"So, if I am the person in the legend, what would you do?"

Qingsong looked up at the Great Elder whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, then looked at the Third Elder who was smiling. He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke in a deep voice as if he had finally made some important decision.

“So… you, Zhang Hanyan, will become the first saint girl of our Zhang family in thousands of years. From now on, you will always be by the side of the clan leader, and shoulder your responsibilities and burdens with him.

I know you are definitely unwilling in your heart. In exchange, I can promise you that I will not force Zhang Qiling to drink the amnesia potion again and will not make him an obedient puppet.

And you, Zhang Hanyan, the first saint of the Zhang family, you will have the same rights and status as Zhang Qiling. The future of the Zhang family will be entirely up to the two of you.

We old guys are getting old, from now on, we will leave the Zhang family's affairs to you two and will no longer interfere."

Qingsong, who was already seriously injured, felt exhausted and breathless after speaking such a long paragraph at once.

He leaned back weakly, slumped in the armchair, his bloodstained chest rising and falling, and the wound that was still bleeding was faintly visible.

The other elders were looking at Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling with expectant eyes, hoping that they would agree to stop fighting.

After all, their combined ages are several thousand years old, and they really can't beat Zhang Hanyan.

They didn't want to fight with her. Not only would they suffer if they couldn't win but it would also be embarrassing if other people found out!

They have been calling the shots in the Zhang family for hundreds of years, and they don't want to end up losing all their face.

Especially the third elder, the anticipation in his eyes was almost beyond words.

Judging from his appearance, if Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling agreed at this moment, he would rush over and pounce on them in the next second.

"Brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Hanyan took a step back, tiptoed close to Zhang Qiling's ear, and whispered what he meant.

Zhang Qiling frowned and thought. To be honest, he didn't want to be the patriarch of the Zhang family. If he was the patriarch, he would be bound to the Zhang family forever until he took his last breath.

But he knew clearly that these elders in front of him were people who would not give up until they achieved their goals. If he did not agree, he would pay a heavy price.

First of all, there is Zhang Yecheng who is far away in Guangxi.

Guangxi is far away from the Zhang family. Even if they rebel against the elders and leave the Zhang family and rush to rescue him, it is likely that they will be of little use.

I think that when they arrive in Guangxi, all they will see is Zhang Yecheng's corpse.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling felt deeply powerless. He felt like a puppet controlled by fate. No matter how he struggled, everything would eventually return to its original trajectory.

After thinking about it, he looked at Zhang Hanyan who had been waiting for his answer.

Ever since he was betrayed by Zhang Jin at the age of three and adopted by Zhang Yecheng, Zhang Hanyan has come into his life. Over the years, she has been the only ray of light in his darkness and his only salvation.

Hanyan, if we betray the Zhang family, we will face endless hunting in the future. The Zhang family is large in numbers and powerful, and we can't fight them with two fists. Hanyan, I can't watch you get into trouble.

Zhang Qiling pursed his lips slightly, and finally, he bowed to the predetermined fate.
