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

[Host, have you figured out how to fix the Zhang family that is about to fall apart? ]

No! Everyone in the Zhang family now has different intentions. If you want to make them work together again, you have to reveal the secret that everyone wants to know!

Moreover, even if the secret is revealed, who can guarantee that they will not have other intentions?

It’s hard to tell what people’s true thoughts are!

[First, I don’t think the elders would agree. Second… I think you’re right!]

So... there is no way!

The cold wind swept across, the snow and wind rolled, and frost and snow condensed on the bamboo leaves, swaying in the cold wind.

Zhang Qiling frowned and looked at Zhang Hanyan who was sitting under the ginkgo tree. He walked quickly to her side, pulled her up and walked into the room.

"Brother, what are you doing? Where are you going?"

He stopped only when he reached the eaves, turned around and gently brushed away the snowflakes on her hair and body.

"Sitting outside in the snow? You'll get sick!"

Although he spoke with a stern face, there was a hint of blame and worry in his tone.

Zhang Hanyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her lips and smiled softly, with a bright smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Seeing you so nervous, I thought it was something else. Turns out you're just worried that I'll get sick?"

She tilted her head slightly and stared at Zhang Qiling motionlessly, which made him feel a little nervous for some reason.

Zhang Qiling lowered his head and frowned, avoiding her gaze, and his every move was a little flustered.

"I...remembered that I still have something to do, so I'm leaving now!"

When he reached the center of the yard, he stopped and looked back at her, "Come inside, don't sit in the yard."

"I know. Come back soon."

"Ah."

Zhang Hanyan looked at Zhang Qiling's back as he left and thought, isn't today's training already completed? Is there anything else that the little brother needs to do?

The system heard her thoughts and sighed heavily. Sigh... such a dull brain...

Zhang Qiling was standing leaning against the courtyard wall. Next to him was the moon gate for entering and exiting the courtyard.

He quietly looked at the fluttering snowflakes and let the cold wind blow on his face, as if only in this way could the throbbing in his heart gradually subside.

"Chief? What are you doing standing here? It's freezing cold, aren't you cold?"

The third elder looked at him with a smile. Although he had white hair and a youthful face, his smile made Zhang Qiling feel unhappy.

He frowned and thought, as if looking for the answer to why he disliked the Third Elder.

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up, turned around and strode into the courtyard.

"Huh? Did I make him mad?"

The third elder looked at Zhang Qiling as he left with a bewildered look on his face, not understanding why he changed his expression so suddenly.

I clearly saw him smiling when he was far away just now, so why did his face suddenly turn dark as soon as he saw him?

Speaking of which, this was the first time I saw him smile. I don’t know what he was thinking about, but he looked so happy.

The third elder walked into the courtyard along the route Zhang Qiling had taken. The two closed doors seemed to be telling him: Go away! You are not welcome!

"Heh... the door is closed tightly..."

He walked to the door on the right and knocked gently.

"Saint? Are you there? I need your help with something."

Zhang Hanyan was checking the points she had earned over the years and was about to buy a pill for Zhang Qiling to prevent colds, but she was interrupted before she could put her finger down.

This is the voice of the Third Elder. What could he want from me?

She opened the door, looked at the smiling Third Elder and asked, "Third Elder, is there anything wrong? Come in and tell me."

She stepped aside to make way for the Third Elder and then closed the door again after he entered.

"Third Elder, have some tea. If you have anything to say, just speak up."

The Third Elder had helped Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling more or less before. He was a humble person who never abused his power to oppress others, so she was not that hostile to him.

When the Third Elder thought that the Second Elder's current miserable condition was caused by the person in front of him, he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, and he didn't know whether she would let the Second Elder go.

"Hanyan, no... Saint, I came here today to ask for something..."

He looked up at Zhang Hanyan, observing the expression on her face.

"I know what my second brother did was excessive, but... I still hope you can let him go..."

Zhang Hanyan stared at the Third Elder steadily. Her eyes were no longer as warm as before, but became cold and indifferent, which made the Third Elder feel uneasy.

"Saint...can you... agree to my request?"

Even though he knew that Zhang Hanyan was already unhappy, he still wanted to fight for the Second Elder one last time.

"I don't agree! But... you helped me and my brother before, I owe you a favor..."

Zhang Hanyan's words brought a glimmer of hope into the eyes of the Third Elder. His excited expression was clearly seen by her!

She poured the tea and drank it leisurely, not caring at all how anxiously the Third Elder was waiting.

"I can release the Second Elder, but..."

She put the teacup down heavily, and the porcelain hit the wooden table with a dull sound.

The sound startled the third elder, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The premise of releasing him is to make him a useless person, a useless person who can no longer control the Zhang family and threaten me and my brother."

The third elder was about to open his mouth to agree when Zhang Hanyan raised his hand to stop him.

"You don't have to rush to make any promises. I won't believe you. I only believe in myself."

As she spoke, she took out a talisman and placed it on the table. "This thing can control the Second Elder's every move, every word and deed. If he has any evil thoughts or uses any shady means... he will definitely die!"

The murderous intent in her eyes made the Third Elder realize that she was not trying to scare him, and what she said was true!

"I……"

The third elder looked at the talisman which he could not understand at all, and his heart began to waver.

At the beginning, he did plan to rescue the second elder first, and he could plan the future matters slowly.

But Zhang Hanyan's move completely cut off all their escape routes.

Let’s not talk about whether the talisman in front of him is real or not. Even if it is not real, with Zhang Hanyan’s ability, it would be easy for him to kill them.

"What do you think, Third Elder? Do you agree? Or do you not agree? I don't have time to waste with you."

As Zhang Hanyan spoke, she stretched out her hand and pressed it on the talisman. Before she could retract the talisman, the third elder quickly pressed his hand on the back of her hand.

Creaky—as soon as Zhang Qiling pushed open the door, he saw the third elder’s hand pressing on Zhang Hanyan’s hand.

Almost instantly, his face turned gloomy and he looked at the Third Elder with murderous eyes.

Their eyes met and the Third Elder swallowed his saliva involuntarily. He felt that if Zhang Qiling had a knife in his hand right now, he would have been beheaded by now.
