He's alone, but he's a tomb raider!

As the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, only a mess remained in the abandoned steel plant on the outskirts of the city.

A cold wind blew by, stirring up the remains of the corpses and dust from the ground.

After the battle ends and the adrenaline subsides, the excitement is different from before.

Liu Yanyan was also feeling weak all over and stayed close to him, not daring to stray even slightly.

On the contrary, Zhang Chulan, despite being in combat for the first time, appeared extremely calm.

Rather than being experienced and adapted to the battlefield, it's more accurate to say that he was incredibly shrewd!

Zhang Chulan stood obediently to the side, unconsciously dispelling the golden light spell on his body.

Ignoring any inquiries about the superhumans, Zhang Chulan put on a polite yet distant smile, having already made up his mind.

He quickly offered a perfunctory thank you, then immediately withdrew, determined never to have anything to do with an unfathomable monster like Qin Yun again.

"Um... Brother, thank you so much for saving me today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have really been defeated by them today."

Well, thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal sometime after I've done some summer work and earned some money.

After saying that, Zhang Chulan scratched his head sheepishly and prepared to slip away as quickly as possible from this troublesome place.

only……

"Snap!"

Before Zhang Chulan could turn around and leave, Qin Yun's slender, fair hand had already placed on his shoulder.

Suddenly sensing Qin Yun approaching, Zhang Chulan not only displayed a "囧" expression on his face, but his whole body also stood up like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"B-Big brother, I'm a college student, and I have to work 8 AM tomorrow, so what do you think...?"

"What day is 'another day'?"

Heaven have mercy!

In Zhang Chulan's mind, he had already planned to fight Qin Yun.

Although he knew he couldn't win, surrendering without a fight wasn't in the Zhang family's nature, was it?

However, to Zhang Chulan's utter surprise, just as he had anticipated countless possible outcomes, Qin Yun suddenly uttered these words.

Which day is "another day"?

No, buddy!

Is this your first time in China? Don't you understand that this is just a polite greeting?

"Um, um, I..."

"You don't even have my name or phone number. How are you going to contact me when you invite me to dinner?"

Zhang Chulan: "..."

Okay, okay, could it be that I've really run into a real foodie?

After teasing Zhang Chulan and ending the playful banter, Qin Yun slipped a plain black business card with gold foil stamping into Zhang Chulan's pocket.

"Remember to contact me in advance once you've saved enough money."

As for the rest, you don't need to be so nervous.

Although we don't know each other, your ancestors had some connections with my family. Relax, I won't do anything to you!

Zhang Chulan's ancestors had a connection with him.

Well, how can a relationship built on grave robbing and tomb raiding not be considered a relationship?

For Zhang Huaiyi's sake, Qin Yun wouldn't mind helping Zhang Chulan if it was within his power.

After all, having some connections is quite important in the world of supernatural beings.

only……

No sooner had Qin Yun finished speaking than two blinding beams of headlights suddenly lit up the night sky in the distance, before he could even let Zhang Chulan leave.

The engine roared as it sped closer, the tires screeching against the ground with a piercing screech.

A low-key yet sophisticated black sedan came to a steady stop at the edge of the battlefield, and the door opened with a click.

The man who came down first was dressed in a well-pressed dark suit, with gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a refined and capable air, looking every bit the urban elite white-collar worker.

It was Xu San, the head of the North China region for Nadutong Company.

Xu San's gaze swept over the steel plant.

Ruins littered the ground, deep craters in the walls, the gruesome corpse of a Gu Master, and Zhang Chulan, seemingly being held hostage...

With just one glance, Xu San's face instantly turned frighteningly gloomy, and his gaze immediately locked onto Zhang Chulan, who was shrouded in smoke and dust, his eyes filled with urgency.

The girl who jumped off the bus right after her was sweet-looking.

Her face was fair and clear, her eyebrows and eyes were clean and without a trace of impurity, but she was wearing a loose old coat, her hair was messy, her trousers were rolled up, and she looked sloppy and casual, with a wooden and indifferent look in her eyes.

The horrific battlefield before them seemed to be nothing more than a puddle of insignificant mud.

The visitor was none other than Feng Baobao!

"Chu Lan!"

"Master...Master?"

Xu San spotted Zhang Chulan at a glance and immediately rushed forward, intending to protect him behind him.

As for Zhang Chulan, although he didn't recognize Xu San, who looked like an elite, he did recognize the crazy woman who wielded a kitchen knife and shattered his Golden Light Mantra.

He originally wanted to yell at her, but for some reason, the moment he saw Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan immediately cowered and subconsciously called her "Master".

"Wow! I didn't realize you guys were so adept at having fun behind the scenes!"

With her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly, Liu Yanyan, who was still a little scared, couldn't help but tease her.

……

Xu San met Qin Yun.

A reclusive, eccentric individual in Tianjin runs a strange antique shop, keeping a low profile most of the time.

Prior to this, the company had always treated Qin Yun as an ordinary superhuman.

As long as he doesn't do anything outrageous, such as joining the Quanxing sect.

The company doesn't interfere with such independent repairmen.

only……

The walls were crumbling, the ground was cracked, and the air was thick with the lingering smell of gunpowder.

Everything before their eyes proved that this was a war-level battle between superhumans!

Qin Yun, who was involved, was someone the company had previously greatly underestimated!

More importantly, this unstable factor is now also "coercing" Zhang Chulan, who is extremely important to the Xu family, or rather, to Feng Baobao.

Faced with this scene, how could Xu San not be anxious!

Without uttering a single wasted word, Xu San suddenly stretched his right hand forward, the lenses of his glasses reflecting a cold light.

"Boss Qin, I don't know why you're here today, but please let go of Zhang Chulan. He's a 'connected' guy; it's none of your business!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magnetic mental power of the person who had cultivated for many years suddenly erupted!

The ground trembled violently, and a boulder more than half a person's height was lifted into the air by Xu San and suspended in mid-air.

Its sharp edges were menacing, pointing directly at Qin Yun.

Xu San didn't kill him outright, but instead used the most direct method of pressure—using force to coerce him into releasing the person.

If Qin Yun refuses to back down, he will immediately launch a strong attack.

At the same time, a barely perceptible coldness flashed in Xu San's eyes, and he tapped his phone in his pocket a few times, secretly issuing instructions.

Beneath the ground, the soil shifted silently.

A versatile individual skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or escaping technique) and stealth.

At this moment, they were quietly approaching from underground, planning to take advantage of Xu San's frontal distraction to dig a tunnel and launch a surprise attack, stealing Zhang Chulan back silently.

Apply pressure head-on while secretly recruiting people – a two-pronged approach!

Xu San has made full preparations to take action.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up!

We were about to leave, so what's going on here?

Faced with such a bizarre scene, even a novice like Zhang Chulan, who was just starting out in the world, had his brain freeze and didn't know what to do.
