The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"No, no, we've already eaten a lot tonight. Let's rest for a while first," Li Jiaying waved her hands repeatedly.

Then, the group entered through the side door. Since they hadn't notified anyone else, they arrived quietly.

This gave Fang Yun the feeling of arriving at a mountain guesthouse.

However, this place lacks the slightly commercialized atmosphere of a typical guesthouse.

The housekeeper was quick and soon brought two keys. These two rooms were right next to Li Jiaying's small courtyard.

But Li Jiaying said she wanted to talk to Chen Xiaonan more, which meant that Chen Xiaonan moved directly to her place.

In that case, Fang Yun walked alone to his small courtyard.

The house isn't tall, just a two-story building, but almost the entire exterior is fitted with large panoramic windows. When the warm yellow lights are turned on inside, it creates a wonderful experience.

"But who knows what kind of background the Li family has? Those who can own such a large manor here are no ordinary people."

Fang Yun thought about it, but still couldn't figure out the specific background of the Li family, so he simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

After all, Li Guozheng will probably tell him himself when the time comes.

After all, Li Guozheng must have something to ask of Fang Yun for such high-level treatment.

Fang Yun refused to be served and found a room by himself, then lay down on the bed. Instantly, the soft bed enveloped Fang Yun, bringing him a sense of comfort.

Fang Yun hadn't expected that he would come to Guangling so soon, and he wondered if the Guo family had mentioned him.

What Fang Yun cares about most right now is that big tomb. At Wu Xie's pace, it should be getting close to the core.

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Fang Yun murmured something and then fell asleep.

The next morning, when Fang Yun woke up, she found breakfast already laid out on the living room table.

It was a bowl of porridge, some noodles and side dishes, all served on some exquisite wooden plates, which looked very high-end.

Fang Yun tasted it; the filling was plentiful.

"You lazybones, you're the last one to wake up today."

Just then, Chen Xiaonan's voice came from outside. Fang Yun turned around and saw that she and Li Jiaying had already put on their sportswear, and judging from the beads of sweat on their foreheads, they seemed to have done some morning exercise.

"Good morning, you guys seem quite interested," Fang Yun said.

Chen Xiaonan walked over and said happily, "Hey, you know what? Jiaying's family has several tennis courts. I just played tennis with her. If you're interested, you can play with us later."

"No, I want to rest more today and recharge my energy."

As Fang Yun spoke, he sat down on the sofa next to him.

"Hey, I never noticed you were so lazy before. Fine, if you're not going, we'll go. I haven't had enough fun yet."

As Chen Xiaonan spoke, she dragged Li Jiaying away with her.

Fang Yun watched their retreating figures and shook his head with amusement.

Fang Yun originally thought that scions of aristocratic families would be more dignified, or at least not too lively, but these two seemed to be different from his impression.

"Fine, I'll stay a little longer. I'll wait until Li Guozheng comes back and see what he's up to."

Fang Yun knew that Li Guozheng had collected a lot of information on antiquities and tombs, and his generation was very devoted to the art of feng shui.

However, relying solely on some leftover materials, they are still far from reaching the core of this industry. The real core actually lies within a very small group of people.

Moreover, these people also love to live in seclusion, and some die in the deep mountains without anyone knowing, so the art of feng shui is extremely rare.

Chapter 401 Mischievous Child

After sitting and reading for a while, Fang Yun realized that the two girls had not returned yet. The sun was already high in the sky, and Fang Yun, sitting in the rocking chair behind the glass curtain wall, also felt a little stuffy.

At this moment, Fang Yun got up from the stool and went outside to the balcony.

Last night, when I got back, it was already very late and dark, so I couldn't see the flowers and plants in the yard. But now, under the sunlight, I found that the red and green colors of the grass were very beautiful.

The grass here is all carefully trimmed, with similar lengths, colors, and density, creating a natural and orderly beauty when arranged together.

Fang Yun stretched, and had to admit, this kind of place really made people feel listless. If it weren't for important matters, many people would probably become listless after living here for a long time.

"That's the point—it has both advantages and disadvantages!"

Fang Yun sighed. The world is full of wonders. Such exquisite houses make people feel at ease and comfortable, while those dilapidated houses make people feel uncomfortable, but they can also give people the motivation to improve.

There's always a good side and a bad side to everything.

The courtyard was quite secluded, and it seemed that many of the Li family members had gone out early in the morning. Standing in the center of the courtyard, Fang Yun could not hear anyone else speaking except for the birdsong.

At this point, Fang Yun decided to take a stroll around the area, so that his trip to the Li family would not have been in vain.

Then, Fang Yun opened the wooden gate of the garden and went out. Outside was a path paved with pebbles, and walking on it, he could feel a slight stinging sensation under his feet.

Fang Yun still remembers going to the park with her family when she was a child. Every summer, everyone would wear a pair of slippers and walk on the cobblestones, then take off their shoes and see who could walk on them the longest.

Thinking of these past events, a smile appeared on Fang Yun's lips. These most ordinary and seemingly mundane things constitute a person's most beautiful memories.

After walking a short distance along this path, the other main roads were paved with black asphalt, with flowers and plants on both sides, and houses standing on them.

If you didn't know beforehand, you would think this was an old villa complex.

"That's strange. The Li family members are all so dedicated. They've disappeared so early in the morning. I wonder where they've gone."

Just as Fang Yun was muttering to himself, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from not far away. Judging from the tone of the voice, it seemed to be several children.

Fang Yun then followed the sound and found several boys, around ten years old, gathered on a grassy field not far away, but he didn't know what they were doing.

Fang Yun walked over there, and when he got closer, he realized that the group was actually competing to see who could throw grenades more accurately.

They carefully selected some smooth pebbles from the nearby pile of stones, then aimed and fired them.

Some hit nearby walls and windows, while others were more accurate and hit the fence.

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

"Who? Who's there."

Hearing Fang Yun's laughter, the boys quickly turned around. Seeing that Fang Yun looked like a stranger, they asked, "Where are you from?"

Fang Yun replied, "He came from outside."

One of the purple-clad youths raised an eyebrow and said, "You're here to ask for a favor again, aren't you? If that's the case, you should act like you're asking for something."

Fang Yun chuckled and said, "What do you mean by 'looking like you're begging'?"

"Of course they're here to be bossed around. If we're happy, they might even say a few good words for you."

"Yes, yes, we just happen to need someone to help us pick up the stones. Since you're here, you can do it."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun was surprised that these teenagers were actually ordering him around. He immediately replied, "I don't have time for that. You guys can play by yourselves."

After saying that, Fang Yun turned around, looking rather bored, and was about to leave 733 when one of the boys suddenly said with a cold face, "How dare you! You didn't even come over to greet us when you saw us, and now you're refusing our help? Believe me or I'll have someone kick you out?"

"That's right, I'll have Li Bolai kick you out right away."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun felt a slight surge of anger and said in a deep voice, "You mean, if I don't help you retrieve the ball, you'll not only kick me out, but also ruin my plans, right?"

"Hmph, good to know. Our Li family isn't a place just anyone can come in." The purple-clad youth stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of arrogance.

"Alright, in that case, I'll leave. When your grandfather asks, you can explain for me."

Fang Yun was furious. He hadn't expected that these family scions would be so arrogant, looking down on everyone and treating people like children.

In a place like this, one can easily imagine what their elders are like, so why linger?

Chapter 402 Li Family Guards

"Stop right there! Did we say you could leave? How dare you insult my grandfather! Now you can't leave even if you want to."

At this moment, the young man in purple stepped forward again. It was clear that he was the oldest among the group, and the others generally listened to him.

It was obvious that their expressions changed when Fang Yun mentioned Li Guozheng, clearly showing that they still held Li Guozheng in high esteem.

"Who insulted your grandfather? He was the one who invited me here. Now that I'm leaving, you can go and explain the situation to him yourselves. I don't have time for that."

As Fang Yun turned to leave, the purple-clad youth called out, and the group of people ran over from the meadow, carrying some stones in their hands.

"If it weren't for the fact that many people have left due to family matters these days, we could easily call a few guards to tease you so badly that you can't walk."

As soon as the purple-clad youth spoke, someone nearby said nonchalantly, "Brother Feng, even if it's just us brothers, we're not afraid of him. Look at him, although he's a bit older and taller than us, we don't see anything special about him. We can handle him more than enough."

Clearly, Fang Yun could tell from the aura of these people that they were typical spoiled brats who wanted to fight but were afraid of getting hurt or losing. He wouldn't dare to fight them without his lackeys to take their place.

Then, a mocking look appeared on the face of the purple-clad youth, and he threw a stone at Fang Yun.

"Brothers, you thought the way we were fighting just now was too boring? Now we have a ready-made target."

"When Grandpa comes back, we'll say we taught someone a lesson for him, and maybe he'll even praise us."

The purple-clad youth said excitedly, while the stone was about to touch Fang Yun's head.

At this moment, Fang Yun reached out and stopped the stone, holding it in his hand.

The boy didn't stop when he saw this; instead, he became interested and asked the others to start throwing stones as well.

"Hurry up and throw too! I don't believe he can catch all the stones we've thrown at the same time."

As soon as the purple-clad youth spoke, he fired several more stones from his hand. The other youths also got excited and threw the stones they had just collected from their bags at Fang Yun.

As Fang Yun grabbed it with his hands, he moved toward the obstacle beside him, a cold glint in his eyes.
