The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

But everyone knows that a fire is burning in everyone's heart right now.

Chapter 381 A Warm Invitation

Fang Yun had no idea that Li Guozheng would take advantage of his rest time to arrange for a private plane to come over, saying that he absolutely had to invite him back to his residence in Guangling to apologize.

Fang Yun was initially reluctant to agree, but upon hearing Li Guozheng mention that his family possessed even more rare treasures and feng shui items, Fang Yun became curious.

Fang Yun had been to Guangling a few times before, but this was the first time he had used this method.

It was only a few hours after I got off the helicopter.

Li Guozheng had to take care of things in the mountains, so he decided to come back on the next day. Li Jiaying and Chen Xiaonan, however, set off ahead with Fang Yun.

"Xiaoying, I used to think your identity was mysterious, but I never expected that I had underestimated you."

Chen Xiaonan exclaimed in amazement as she looked down at the mountains and rivers below the plane. She had only known that the Li family was a large family before, but she did not expect it to be this large, even having a private jet.

"Oh, Sister Xiaonan, these are all worldly things. How can they compare to Master Fang's abilities?"

Fang Yun didn't say anything upon hearing this, pretending not to hear and walking ahead. Along the way, Li Jiaying kept praising and flattering him, clearly afraid that Fang Yun's anger from before hadn't subsided.

However, Fang Yun was not such a petty person. He was used to being looked down upon and misunderstood by others and didn't care about these things.

"I haven't been back for a long time either. If it weren't for Master Fang's visit, Grandpa wouldn't have specially arranged a helicopter for me."

Li Jiaying pouted, seemingly blaming her grandfather for his favoritism.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaonan covered her mouth and laughed, "That's right, my family isn't much better off. I've never experienced the treatment Master Fang receives in a day before."

Fang Yun heard them talking and could only let them continue, as she didn't feel comfortable joining in.

"Jiaying, this is our first time visiting your home. What do you think your grandfather will serve us?"

Chen Xiaonan was already looking forward to it, considering that the other party was such a large family, it was unlikely that they would come up with inferior products.

"Hehe, it might sound better to people who don't know, but I personally don't really like it. If Grandpa lets me make the arrangements, I guarantee you'll have a much more comfortable time!"

Li Jiaying looked very confident.

"Alright, we don't object to you taking us out anyway, so I have no problem with it," Chen Xiaonan joked.

The group chatted and laughed, and soon left the airfield, then took a car to the Li family's house.

The Li family lived in the suburbs and I heard they owned a large estate, making them a very large family.

Families with such backgrounds tend to have a deeper understanding and inheritance of traditional culture, and they also place greater emphasis on things like feng shui.

"By the way, Fang Yun, I have a question I'd like to ask you. I wonder if you'd be willing to answer it?"

Chen Xiaonan suddenly asked.

"But it doesn't matter."

“A few days ago, I vaguely heard people talking about you, saying that you were doing tomb raiding and robbing. But if you have the skills, why do you do those things?”

Chen Xiaonan is quite bold; most people probably wouldn't dare to ask him so directly.

Fang Yun smiled upon hearing this, not minding at all.

"Well, what really interests me are the things in the tombs. You should know that most of the things with the greatest cultural and archaeological value are now buried underground."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaonan simply responded with an "oh," indicating her understanding.

He was so curious about the locked rooms in his house that he wanted to find a way to get in, let alone the mysterious underground palace.

"Fang Yun, if there's a chance in the future, would you like to take me with you? Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. On the contrary, I'm quite capable, so don't underestimate me!"

Chen Xiaonan puffed out her chest as she spoke.

Hearing this, Li Jiaying quickly added, "Me too! I know a lot too!"

For a moment, they all laughed in unison.

The car was driven at a steady pace, and Chen Xiaonan, wanting to see the city center and since it was still early, asked the driver to take her to the commercial area.

As expected, Guangling City truly lived up to its reputation as an international metropolis. Upon entering the commercial district, Chen Xiaonan was overwhelmed by the sheer variety. Although she knew that her hometown, Wuliu Town, was just a small place, it wasn't until she arrived here that she felt the stark contrast.

"My goodness, if it weren't for your good fortune this time, I would have thought Hongya County was already prosperous!"

Chen Xiaonan blushed slightly, realizing for the first time that she might have been too narrow-minded.

Fang Yun shook his head and smiled faintly, "Alright, don't overthink it, Miss Chen. Your family and your circumstances are more than enough for you to live a very good life in Guangling. It's just that everyone has different ideas."

"Some people feel it's better to stay in a small place and enjoy nature, while others prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. There's no inherent good or bad in either way."

Chapter 382 Guangling City

After saying these words, Chen Xiaonan calmed down. However, she was originally just an innocent and carefree young girl.

Even if there was some melancholy before, it was quickly put behind me.

Just as the group opened the car door, preparing to go for a walk on the street, a young man in a white suit got out of a Lamborghini sports car parked not far away in another direction.

Judging from his appearance, he was no more than twenty years old, but he was dressed head to toe in luxury brands, and it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family.

"Isn't this Sister Jiaying? It's me, Xiao Zhou, Zhou Weikang, Xiao Zhou!"

Upon seeing Li Jiaying, the man in the white suit hurriedly ran over.

However, Li Jiaying wasn't in a good mood and asked with a sullen face, "What are you doing here? Okay, don't bother me, go to the side."

When Zhou Weikang heard Li Jiaying say that, he wasn't angry at all. He said, "Sister Jiaying, everyone knows that you and our boss are getting engaged. I can't possibly not pay my respects to my sister-in-law here."

"Who's engaged! Zhou Weikang, let me tell you, if you keep spouting nonsense here, don't blame me for having someone drag you away!"

Li Jiaying suddenly roared, like a little tiger. This surprised Chen Xiaonan, who had never seen Li Jiaying like this before.

As for Zhou Weikang, Chen Xiaonan was also full of doubts. The man surnamed Zhou was clearly much older than Jiaying, yet he still called her "sister" loudly.

"How about we stop here for today?"

Fang Yun suddenly spoke up. He knew that Wei Kang wouldn't be leaving anytime soon if they continued shopping.

"No, we came out to shop anyway, why should we leave because of him?"

Li Jiaying was very unwilling.

Zhou Weikang clearly knew that no matter what he did, he would not be able to satisfy Li Jiaying, so he turned his attention to Chen Xiaonan, who was standing to the side.

Although his family's financial situation was much worse than Li Jiaying's, he was still a wealthy young man and had met quite a few people.

When Chen Xiaonan first came out, Zhou Weikang was momentarily impressed by her appearance, but that didn't stop him from being able to tell that Chen Xiaonan wasn't from this place.

Moreover, given that she came from a small place, and considering that Li Jiaying had suddenly disappeared recently and was said to have gone to some mountains, Zhou Weikang immediately came to a conclusion.

As for Fang Yun, Zhou Weikang didn't bother to look at him and had no interest in him.

"Beautiful lady, are you a friend of Sister Jiaying? Is this your first time visiting Guangling City?"

Chen Xiaonan was surprised and didn't know what to say, but Zhou Weikang continued, "This place is very big and there are many places to play, but if you don't know someone to guide you, it's easy to go astray."

Chen Xiaonan said "Oh," and whispered, "That should be true."

Seeing how polite the other person was, Chen Xiaonan felt too embarrassed to have a cold face like Li Jiaying.

"There's an antique shop my friend owns right next door. How about we go take a look? If you see anything you like, I'll cover your bill for today."

"Tch, what good stuff could you possibly have? Why would I need your gift?"

Li Jiaying said it nonchalantly.

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. Although I'm not an expert on antiques, my friend is. I heard he recently found a pitch-black box in Mangdang Mountain..."

Upon hearing this word, Fang Yun suddenly spoke up: "Then why don't we go there and take a look? We're bored anyway."

Zhou Weikang was about to mock Fang Yun for having no right to make decisions when Li Jiaying nodded and agreed to go as well.

“Alright then, I’m feeling a bit tired right now, so it wouldn’t hurt to go to your shabby shop for a cup of tea and rest for a while.”

Although Zhou Weikang led the way with a smile on his face, his mind was entirely on Fang Yun.

"Who is this kid? How come Jiaying listens to him so much?"

Zhou Weikang looked Fang Yun up and down, but didn't seem to find anything special about him.

"No matter what, I'll have to keep a close eye on this kid later. Jiaying is the boss's handpicked target; if this kid dares to interfere, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive."

Before long, the group followed Xiao Zhou through several bends and finally arrived at the door of a shop (Zhao's) on the street corner.

The store's facade and design are made of natural wood, while the signboard features black wood with large gold characters, giving it a somewhat antique feel.

"This is my friend's shop, Ji Hongxuan."

A hint of smugness crossed Zhou Weikang's face. After all, not just anyone would dare to open an antique shop in a place like this, because you could easily smash something and create a few appraisal masters.

Here, fakes usually can't be hidden for long.

"Everyone, please feel free to look around. I'm going to say hello to my friend."

With that, Zhou Weikang took the lead and went into the inner room.

Fang Yun followed behind, his eyes immediately drawn to the items in the store.

Chapter 383 Liu Zhi

Fang Yun didn't have high expectations to begin with. There are so many antiques in the world, but very few that actually contain treasures.

Because the number of these treasures is fixed, if one person has them, it means that another person cannot have them.
