The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Bronze artifacts such as alchemical furnaces and cauldrons are the cheapest.

The sacrificial furnaces and vessels used for rituals were too conspicuous and sinister, so the Huo family had never accepted them, and even if they had, no one dared to take them over.

"That's it..."

Fang Yun nodded, somewhat tempted.

Qi Tiezui is the only one among the Nine Gates who practices the Five Arts of Metaphysics. It would be worthwhile to visit him and get to know him, and perhaps see if he has any good stuff.

"Forehead..."

Suddenly, Fang Yun slowed down his smoking and handed the cigarette case and matches to Seventh Sister.

"Want a bite?"

He saw that the Seventh Sister glanced at the cigarette box twice, and most likely wanted to smoke.

He smelled cigarette smoke on Huo San Niang and Qi Guniang in the morning, and he initially thought it was Huo San Niang who was smoking.

"it is good."

After a moment's thought, the Seventh Sister nodded to Fang Yun, took the fireworks, and skillfully lit one for herself.

"Xiaoqi, you smoke too?"

Upon seeing this, Hua exclaimed in surprise.

In her memory, only men smoked.

Fang Yun, Luo Laowai, Chen Yulou, Xieling Lishi... This was the first time she had ever seen a woman smoke.

The seventh sister gracefully exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I've been smoking for about two years."

"Oh!"

Hua responded thoughtfully, then turned her gaze to the cigarette box, seemingly wanting to light one up and try it.

next moment.

Fang Yun put the cigarette case away and glared at Hua.

"Pfft, I don't smoke."

Seeing this, Hua snorted and turned her gaze back to the window.

Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Yun turned his gaze to the Seventh Sister.

Hmm...this girl looks even prettier when she smokes.

"Being born into a large family must be tough, right?"

As soon as Fang Yun said this, the Seventh Sister froze, her brows furrowed, a hint of fatigue appeared on her face, and she gave a stiff smile.

"Compared to the average person, they're already doing very well."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and remained silent.

The nine gates are divided into the upper three gates, the flat mountain gate, and the lower three gates.

The identities of the three upper sects have basically been laundered; they are now legitimate sects with connections to the government. Zhang Qishan's Zhang family is the highest-ranking of them.

Pingshanmen still operates in the business of tomb raiding and is the three most notorious gangs in the black market of Changsha.

The lower three gates are now all engaged in commerce, mainly reselling. Occasionally, when they encounter a gambling den, they will find someone to help them.

The Huo family is the head of the three lower families and ranks seventh among the nine families.

The Huo family is run by women. Every woman must be able to be a good wife and mother, as well as skilled in martial arts. In other words, she must be both literate and martial, a true strong woman.

Therefore, the Huo family did not distinguish between legitimate and collateral relatives; they rose to power through cunning and intrigue, and internal strife within the clan was extremely severe.

In fact, Fang Yun found it hard to imagine that people of the same clan would scheme against each other just to compete for a position where they had to get up earlier than the chickens, work harder than the donkeys, and sleep later than the dogs.

Of course, everyone has different values, and we can only feel a little sentimental about other people's affairs and then move on.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

After finishing a cigarette, the three left the restaurant.

Having eaten and drunk his fill and rested well, Fang Yun was in a good mood and waved his hand at Hua and the Seventh Sister.

"Buy whatever you want, Young Master Fang will pay today!"

"puff.."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, both women burst out laughing and nodded.

After that, the three of them continued strolling along the street.

"Wang Wang!"

Before I had taken more than a few steps, I heard a loud barking, mixed with a few shouts of arguing.

Everyone has a bit of a gossip streak, and Fang Yun is no exception.

Seeing that there seemed to be some excitement to watch, Fang Yun quickened his pace and walked towards the street corner from which the sound was coming, with Hua and the Seventh Sister following on either side of him.

..... .. ...

"The Pear Garden?"

This journey actually led them to the entrance of Er Yuehong's pear orchard.

At the entrance of the pear orchard, two gatekeepers stopped a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The young man, seemingly trying to force his way in despite the presence of two gatekeepers, was carrying a small Tibetan Mastiff that was barking at the gatekeepers.

"Fine, I made an appointment with Second Master. How dare you block me like this? I think you don't want your wages this month."

The young man was annoyed when he was stopped by the two gatekeepers again, and said irritably.

Hearing the young man's words, the two gatekeepers' faces fell, and they bowed and said:

"Fifth Master, please don't make things difficult for us."

"Second Master said that after he starts singing, your dog can't be allowed in, so as not to disturb his performance."

Fifth Master?

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun had an idea and turned his gaze to the Seventh Sister.

If I remember correctly, in the original timeline, Seventh Sister and this little dog Fifth Sister had a romantic relationship.

One was a top beauty even in the Huo family, and the other was a promising young talent among the Nine Gates. As they spent more time together, they developed feelings for each other.

However, this relationship did not have a happy ending. Little Dog Wu helped Seventh Sister take the position of head of the Huo family, but he did not end up with Seventh Sister.

It seems that he was young and impetuous and couldn't stand the strong-willed personality of the Seventh Sister.

Finally, Little Dog Five almost lost his life because of Jude Kao's affair. Then, with the help of Jie Jiu, he made a comeback and fell in love at first sight with Jie Jiu's cousin, becoming her son-in-law.

(Again, the plot has been changed.)

Chapter 170 The Little Dog Eating Lemons (Part 5)!

"My dog ​​isn't allowed in?"

"What kind of talk is that? My three-inch nail is smarter than a person, and he will never disturb Second Master's performance."

"Fifth Master, this is what Second Master said, we can't disobey him. Please forgive us and leave!"

"Hmph, I'm not listening anymore."

After arguing with the gatekeeper for a long time, Gou Wu snorted indignantly and patted the little Tibetan Mastiff in his arms.

"Come on, let's skip the opera today, I'll take you fishing."

"Huh?...What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Gou Wu's expression changed, and he touched the head of the three-inch-nail dog.

The three-inch nail was biting his sleeve, letting out a low growl.

Normally, Three-Inch Nail would only remind him like this when he smelled the stench of corpses or the aura of yin.

Dog Five whirled around, only to find three people standing not far behind him. "527"

There was one man and two women, one of whom he knew—the seventh daughter of the Huo family, whom he had a good impression of.

"Little Fairy!"

"You're here to listen to Second Master's opera too? Your aunt... doesn't mind?"

Upon seeing Seventh Sister, Dog Five's bad mood from being turned away by the gatekeeper vanished completely. He stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Passing by."

"Keep an eye on your dog, lest Second Master skin it alive."

Seventh Sister raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at Three-Inch Nail.

The consequences of Second Master's performance being disturbed are severe. It's only because Gou Wu and Second Master were acquainted that this three-inch nail would have been turned into dog meat stew.

Upon hearing this, Gou Wu's face fell, and he rubbed the head of the three-inch nail.
