The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Miss, Changsha is the largest city in Hunan, and it's very lively."

Seeing Hua Tian's innocent and romantic appearance, the Seventh Sister smiled and explained.

The two tomb raiders were quite easygoing, and it was very relaxed to talk to them, which made her feel much better.

"This is my first time visiting a big city."

Hua nodded repeatedly, her face full of anticipation, and looked at the Seventh Sister.

"Xiao Qi, are there any fun places to go in the city?"

"Of course, we have everything that's available in other cities, and we have everything in Changsha too. Is there anywhere you'd like to go, Miss Hua?"

"Hey..."

Listening to the whispers of the two girls in front of him, Fang Yun sighed helplessly.

He wanted to have some fun in the big city, but shopping is... not interesting at all. Wouldn't it be better to find a place to eat and drink well and go fishing?

Two hours later, at Rongjin Restaurant.

Fang Yun placed the four gift boxes on the table, plopped down in a chair, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Ah~~"

He walked around the streets for two hours, which was a very small amount of exercise, but he felt like his legs were about to break, and he was very puzzled.

Looking at Hua and Qi Guniang, they still looked excited, eager to finish their meal and go out for a few more hours.

Perhaps this is a woman's innate talent.

The waiter at the restaurant was quite perceptive. Seeing that Hua and the Seventh Sister were chatting enthusiastically, he didn't dare to disturb them and walked over to Fang Yun with a stack of menus.

Before long, the waiter brought over the wine, dishes, and tea.

Hua and Qi Guniang also temporarily stopped their lively conversation and started eating. After walking around for more than two hours, they were also feeling a bit hungry.

.........................

Half an hour later, all three of them had eaten and drunk their fill.

I leaned back in my chair, watching the bustling street outside the window.

Looking at Fang Yun and Hua, who were smiling and gazing at the street scene, Seventh Sister also felt a sense of peace in her heart.

As soon as she could remember, she was chosen by her aunt to become her aunt's deputy and one of the candidates to take over the next generation of the Huo family.

He has always strived to become the next head of the Huo family.

Aside from practicing the Huo family's secret techniques for tomb raiding, he devoted the rest of his time to the family business.

So today is a rare day of leisure for her.

Thinking of the scene in the ghost carriage earlier, Seventh Sister felt a surge of curiosity again.

The four tomb raiding factions are renowned in the industry. Could it be that everyone is as strong as Fang Yun?

After hesitating for a moment, the Seventh Sister still couldn't suppress her curiosity, gently tugged at the ribbon, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister Hua, can you tell me about your four factions?"

"I heard before that you were the ones who destroyed Ping Mountain in Xiang, and that the tomb of King Xian, which was said to be impossible to rob, was really destroyed by you?"

Hearing this, Hua was stunned and turned her gaze to Fang Yun.

This kind of thing is considered one of the rules and taboos in the tomb raiding business; you can't casually inquire about the whereabouts and hauls of fellow travelers.

Seeing that Hua was looking at him, Fang Yun didn't think much of it and nodded directly.

This is no secret; rumors have been circulating in the martial arts world for a long time. It's just that no one dares to be sure, and no one has the courage to go to the tomb of the King of Xian to investigate.

As for Chen Yulou... he's very shrewd; he won't admit to the matter until he's thoroughly exhausted the resources at the Prince Xian's tomb.

As long as Hua doesn't reveal the location of the Great Treasury in the Blackwater City of Western Xia (bjbd), that's fine.

Seeing Fang Yun nod, a smile appeared on his painted face. He excitedly took the Seventh Sister's hand and said:

"Alright, since you call me 'sister,' then I'll tell you!"

"There is a Yuan Dynasty general's tomb in Ping Mountain, which we indeed destroyed, as well as the tomb of the Prince Xian, which was said to be indestructible unless the heavens collapsed, which we also destroyed!"

"Let me tell you, that Bottle Mountain is a dangerous place. There's a centipede demon inside that has cultivated into a powerful demon. That centipede demon is at least fifteen meters long..."

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

Hua was naive and innocent, and without any guile or scheming, she became sisters with the Seventh Sister in just a short time.

However, this is not a bad thing. Hua should have a few friends of the same age by now, otherwise life would be too boring.

What made him secretly chuckle was that Hua had quite a talent for storytelling.

They polished what needed polishing, adapted what needed adapting, and left the Seventh Sister speechless.

Hua became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and Seventh Sister also became more and more excited as she listened.

"clang!"

Suddenly, a clear gong sounded.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the gong. Hua pouted in annoyance and looked at the Seventh Sister.

"Is the gong being struck to tell the time?"

Hearing what Hua said, the Seventh Sister gently shook her head.

"The sound of the gong is coming from the theater next door. The sound of the gong means that the theater is closing and the opera troupe is about to start singing."

Theater?

This is the most prosperous area in the city, and every shop here has a background. Take Rongjin Restaurant, for example, it is one of the Huo family's properties.

Only the Hong family could set up a theater in such a location.

Hong Jia Er Yuehong...a true romantic, he's definitely worth seeing.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the Seventh Sister.

"I also quite enjoy listening to opera. Would you be willing to lead the way, Seventh Miss?"

The seventh girl frowned slightly and said with some helplessness.

“Master Fang, that theater is called Pear Garden. Unlike ordinary theaters, Pear Garden has a set of rules.”

"That means after the gong is sounded, the Pear Garden will close its doors, allowing people to leave but not enter. The Pear Garden is also the property of a major family among the Nine Gates, and Xiao Qi doesn't have the face to make them an exception."

"If Master Fang enjoys listening to opera, there will be another performance tonight. Xiao Qi can bring you here then."

It wasn't that she intentionally stopped her; it was just the rule of the Hong family.

If she wanted the Hong family to make an exception, at least the heads of the other nine families would have to come to her door in person. She was just a small steward in the Huo family and couldn't get the Hong family to give her face.

Moreover... her aunt's relationship with the Hong family is somewhat awkward.

Normally, the people from the Hong and Huo families would avoid each other whenever they met, and neither wanted to get close to the other.

(I will probably write about the other nine members of the sect later. You can treat those you haven't seen on TV as fictional characters, please don't be offended.)

Chapter 169 Liyuankou, Little Dog Five!

Hearing what the Seventh Sister said, Fang Yun nodded in understanding.

That's indeed a saying.

In those days, opera troupes were quite powerful and influential, with complicated rules and regulations, especially one founded by Er Yuehong.

Moreover, since the Seventh Sister is a member of the Huo family, it's really not appropriate to have her lead the way to the Pear Garden.

After all, Huo Sanniang and Er Yuehong had a rather strained relationship.

Er Yuehong was Huo Sanniang's secret crush, which was no secret within the Nine Gates.

Er Yuehong, who never liked Huo Sanniang to begin with, changed completely after getting married, transforming from a playboy into a devoted lover.

To reassure his introverted wife, he began to distance himself from Huo Sanniang more and more.

This led to a rift and an awkward situation between the two companies.

"In that case, we won't go. Seventh Miss, there's no need to make things difficult for you."

Fang Yun waved his hand, took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one with a satisfied smile.

"By the way, Seventh Miss, does your Huo family possess any alchemy furnaces or cauldrons?"

He's had the Zhongyuan Danjue for several months, but he hasn't even started practicing it yet.

Now, all that's missing is a pill-making furnace.

The alchemy furnaces in Ping Mountain and the Tomb of King Xian are all huge, but they are just decorations to fool people; they are not furnaces that can actually be used to refine elixirs.

"Alchemy furnace?"

The Seventh Sister's expression was somewhat strange, but she still shook her head and explained:

“Our Huo family has never accepted such items. Among all the Nine Gates, the Qi family should be the only one who would accept such bronze artifacts.”

The Huo family now mainly deals in antiques and rarely does farm work anymore.
