The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Gu Tingfang's words struck the woman and Gu Tingxiang like a bolt from the blue.

The reason why they dare to be so arrogant and fearless is simply because the other party is an ordinary person. Since an ordinary person dares to offend them, they should naturally teach him a lesson.

However, if the other party is also a young master from a prestigious family, and their status is even more noble than one's own, then it's a completely different situation.

First of all, putting aside the fact that they offended the other family's own powerful clan, if this got out, people would only say that the Gu family was uncivilized and lacked manners, and those two women would be nailed to the pillar of shame by all the families.

This is a consequence they simply cannot bear; they are now caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Chapter 509 Arrogant at First, Obedient at Later

"This... I wonder which elder brother this young master Fang is related to?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's tone softened. She couldn't imagine the consequences if she didn't yield and beg for forgiveness under these circumstances.

Fang Yun remained silent, but Gu Tingfang spoke up, saying, "Young Master Fang's background is still a secret. Just know that you should be more polite to him when you see him in the future."

"Yes...yes, I will definitely remember."

At this moment, the woman had completely lost any semblance of authority as an elder; she simply answered whatever Gu Tingfang said.

As for Gu Tingfang's statement, although it was partly due to his own lack of knowledge about Fang Yun's background, Gu Tingfang also believed that for someone of Fang Yun's age to have such skills, his family background must be quite impressive, without a doubt.

So there's actually nothing wrong with what she said.

"Ting 19 Xiang, I heard you repeatedly reprimanded Young Master Fang, is that true?"

At this moment, Gu Tingfang suddenly looked at Gu Tingxiang, which startled her.

"Big sister... I, I didn't, it's all a misunderstanding!"

As Gu Tingxiang spoke, she had already cursed Liu Hu ten or eight times in her heart. Only she and Liu Hu knew about this matter. If Liu Hu didn't tell, who else could have informed on her?

"Hmph, regardless of whether this matter exists or not, what you did today was also very bad, and you must do something about it."

Gu Tingxiang kept her head down and didn't say anything, only nodding.

"Young Master Fang will likely be staying at the Gu family's residence for a while. During this time, if Young Master Fang needs anything or has any requests, you will be in charge of handling them. Do you understand?"

Gu Tingxiang was stunned when she heard Gu Tingfang say that. It was the first time she had ever heard of a young lady doing such servant work for a guest.

However, as Gu Tingfang raised her eyebrows, she hurriedly nodded in agreement, deciding to get through this hurdle first, no matter what.

At this moment, Gu Tingfang had finally made the arrangements and looked at Fang Yun.

"Young Master Fang, we apologize for any offense we may have caused today. We hope you will not take offense. Our Gu family will certainly make amends with sincerity in the future."

Fang Yun waved his hand and said, "No need. I'm not a petty person. Since time is of the essence, let's find a place to discuss important matters first."

Gu Tingfang agreed and led the way, taking Fang Yun with her.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two figures disappear into the distance.

Today, thankfully, she didn't completely embarrass herself, and Gu Tingfang didn't push her too far, so in that respect, she was lucky.

"Tingxiang, you've really ruined my life today! I told you not to worry about a few pieces of pastry, but you brat spread false information!"

Thinking of this, the woman became furious and raised her hand as if to hit Gu Tingxiang. If Gu Tingxiang hadn't said that he was just a shop assistant, she wouldn't have let Ding Qiang teach him a lesson later.

“Aunt, you can’t entirely blame me. It’s all that… Young Master Fang’s fault. He told me that himself. Who knew he was probably lying?”

"Hmph, how can you be so stupid? Maybe they just don't want to talk to you, and they just don't like you, so they said that to get rid of you."

The woman said angrily.

Gu Tingxiang knew that she was angry, so she stopped talking and instead looked in the direction where Fang Yun and the other person had disappeared.

"What kind of person is he...?"

The thought of having to buy things for Fang Yun stirred a sense of curiosity in Gu Tingxiang's heart.

At this moment, in the Li family's courtyard, the two girls sat watching the sky gradually darken and the stars come out, but their mood was no longer as lively and cheerful as before.

Unable to find Fang Yun's whereabouts, they called the antique shop owner to confirm. Although they learned that Fang Yun had gone into the tomb and could not send messages, they still felt a little empty inside.

"Jiaying, look at the sky today, it seems like there are very few stars."

Upon hearing Chen Xiaonan's words, Li Jiaying finally woke up from her half-asleep state, having just fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

When I woke up, I found myself feeling a bit cold; the night wind was still quite chilly.

"Are you still worried about Brother Fang? Don't worry, my grandfather said he's a Taoist master... Even if he isn't, with his Taoist magic, there's no danger at all in that tomb."

Despite saying that, Li Jiaying's worries did not diminish at all.

"The main reason is that Brother Fang is also visiting Guangling for the first time and is not familiar with anything here. I heard that the tomb in the mountain caused quite a stir, and many of Guangling's top figures have gone inside."

“Brother Fang is still young and inexperienced in some things. I’m afraid he might suffer losses.”

"Alright... there's no point in worrying now. I've already sent people out to gather information, and I'll know as soon as there's a response."

After saying that, Chen Xiaonan nodded. At the moment, she didn't have any better ideas and could only wait quietly for news.

Chapter 510 Encountering Danger

Just as Fang Yun was about to follow Gu Tingfang into the secret room, he suddenly realized that he hadn't contacted Chen Xiaonan and the others since he came out, and he only knew whether they were getting impatient.

Thinking about it, Fang Yun took out his phone. Because the battery was low, Fang Yun was afraid that it wouldn't be enough in an emergency, so he simply turned it off.

As soon as he turned on his phone, a series of notification sounds rang out. Fang Yun then realized that Chen Xiaonan and the other person had sent him many messages, all asking about his situation.

Just as Fang Yun was about to send a message, another text message suddenly arrived from Li Jiaying.

"Brother Fang, my men said they saw you enter the Gu family. You didn't offend someone in the Gu family, did you? We're coming to find you right now."

When Fang Yun saw the text message, he felt a mix of amusement and sadness, but also a warmth in his heart. It seemed that these two girls were very sentimental and rushed over as soon as they knew he might be in danger.

But Fang Yun was perfectly fine here, so there was no need for them to be so anxious. So Fang Yun picked up her phone and started composing a text message, intending to send the two of them back.

But at this moment, Li Jiaying sent another message.

"Brother Fang, because I accompanied Xiaonan out for a walk and our car wasn't with us, I took the bus with her. But on the bus, we heard people talking about you."

Fang Yun was also puzzled when he saw the message, but he didn't know who was talking about him behind his back.

So Fang Yun deleted all the text he had just written and sent another text message: "What are they saying? 々?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's reply, Li Jiaying, who was still on the bus, was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.

"Xiao Nan, look! Brother Fang replied to my message!"

The two women breathed a slight sigh of relief when they saw that the message was sent by Fang Yun's name, which meant that Fang Yun was still safe, or at least not in any danger.

"By the way, what were those people saying just now? Brother Fang is asking."

Chen Xiaonan also saw the text message, so she nudged Li Jiaying's shoulder and said.

Li Jiaying patted her head and said, "Look at me, I was so busy sending messages that I didn't even remember what those people said. I thought Brother Fang wouldn't be interested, and instead he said I was meddling."

"Since he wants to hear it, I'll go and find out more."

Thinking about it, Li Jiaying stood up from her seat, casually took out her phone, and walked to another window seat, seemingly looking for a signal.

And this place is the closest to the two men who just spoke.

Previously, Li Jiaying had only occasionally heard the name Fang Yun from their mouths, and at the time it was just for fun, so she told Fang Yun about it as an amusing story.

At this moment, when Li Jiaying looked closely, she realized that the two men seemed a bit strange.

While everyone else sat upright, these two men seemed to be deliberately concealing something, their bodies half-shrunken.

Judging from their appearance, they didn't look much like the locals of Guangling. In their hands, they were tightly clutching two military green packages, bulging with contents that were unclear.

"Who is that person? How strange. I feel like I've seen someone with this appearance somewhere before."

Li Jiaying was somewhat puzzled and remained standing there, wanting to hear what the two of them would say next.

However, after standing there for a long time, Li Jiaying still did not hear the two speak. Perhaps the two were tired from talking and simply closed their eyes to rest.

Li Jiaying felt that maybe she had misheard before; what a coincidence that she would hear people talking about Fang Yun on the bus.

If Fang Yun were a real celebrity, that would be one thing, but Fang Yun has only been in Guangling for a short time, so how could so many people know him?

"Never mind, maybe I misheard. I'll just sit back down."

Li Jiaying muttered to herself, and then decided to leave.

Just then, one of the men whispered, "I just received a message from them saying that once we find the target, we should act immediately without hesitation and without giving anyone any leverage."

Li Jiaying was startled. Judging from their tone, it seemed that these two were about to murder someone. Otherwise, why would their tone have been so murderous?

So, Li Jiaying immediately pulled back the foot she had just moved.

At that moment, Li Jiaying suddenly realized that her junior seemed to be stared at by something, like scorching sunlight shining on her back, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Jiaying glanced at the ground and turned slightly to the side. Sure enough, the eyes of the two men behind her were fixed on this side.

The two men had small eyes, like those of venomous snakes, carrying a sinister and cold aura.

Li Jiaying had no choice but to turn her head away again without showing any emotion, not daring to look in that direction again.

Chapter 511 Bus Rivalry

After a short while, Li Jiaying realized that the two people behind her still showed no sign of looking away. If this continued, she would have no choice but to get off the bus.

However, it remains to be seen whether these two will follow me if I get off the bus.

Li Jiaying instinctively sensed that these two people were extremely dangerous, definitely not the kind she could handle.
