In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"Hahaha…"

Xie Xiaohua said, "I thought it was something serious. Come on, I'll take you to the New Moon Hotel..."

Wu Xie and Fatty were overjoyed upon hearing this. With Xie Xiaohua's identity as a person, and him leading the way, who would dare to stop them?

"Good good..."

Wu Xie nodded repeatedly.

Xie Xiaohua said, "Let's go..."

The group drove to the New Moon Hotel. As the head of the Xie family, Xie Xiaohua was naturally not allowed to say anything by the people at the New Moon Hotel, who led them inside with smiles.

Xie Xiaohua personally led Wu Xie and the others to the auction house on the second floor of Old Lady Huo's house.

Just as he was about to open the door, a servant from the Crescent Moon Hotel approached, "Master Hua..."

The woman whispered a few words in Xie Xiaohua's ear, and Xie Xiaohua raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.

Xie Xiaohua let the woman leave first, then said to Wu Xie, "Grandma Huo is inside. You can go in. Xiuxiu and I have some things to do, so we can't go in with you..."

Although he didn't know what had happened, Wu Xie figured that Old Lady Huo was inside and the secret of the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish was about to be revealed. Without thinking too much, he told Xie Xiaohua to leave and then pushed the door open and went in himself.

Xie Xiaohua pulled Huo Xiuxiu into another private room.

"Oh... Little Flower..."

"flower…"

"Yuchen!"

No one in the private room addressed him as "Master Hua"; they all acted like elders. But Xie Xiaohua couldn't say anything and could only greet them one by one.

"Uncle Hu!"

"Uncle Fatty!"

"Uncle Zhang!"

"Teacher's wife, my little girl!"

Huo Xiuxiu also bowed.

Yingzi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiaohua has grown taller again. She used to be such a crybaby..."

"Hahaha…"

The mischievous little girl laughed uncontrollably, "Mom, can you please show some respect to Brother Yuchen? He's not the snot-nosed brat you raised anymore; he's the head of the Xie family now..."

"........."

Xie Xiaohua was speechless. Who was it that didn't give me face? You little brat, you've revealed all my secrets.

Upon seeing the person at the front, Xie Xiaohua respectfully called out again, "Master!"

Outside, Su Mo and his family of three, along with Lao Hu, Zhang Yingchuan, and Fatty, were there. They had come to the New Moon Hotel out of boredom and were surprised to see Xie Xiaohua and the others.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the staff from the Crescent Moon Hotel pushed open the door and brought in two stools, gesturing for Xie Xiaohua and Huo Xiuxiu to sit down.

Su Mo didn't turn his head and said indifferently, "Xiuxiu, sit down. Xiaohua, you can stand for now. I see that your aura is too overwhelming and sharp. You don't know how to restrain yourself. I'll have to temper your interest!"

"Yes!"

Xie Xiaohua nodded, naturally not daring to say anything more. However, Huo Xiuxiu was in a dilemma. Her relationship with Xiaohua was extraordinary. If Xiaohua didn't sit, how could she sit?

Moreover, these people are all Xiaohua's elders, and sitting next to them makes her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Huo Xiuxiu dared not sit down and obediently stood next to Xie Xiaohua.

Su Mo asked again, "Wu Xie is here?"

Master actually knows Wu Xie?

Although Xie Xiaohua was somewhat surprised, she still respectfully replied, "Yes, I just arrived and have already entered Grandma Huo's room..."

"Ok!"

Su Mo nodded slightly, "You stay here today, no matter what happens, don't go out..."

What do you mean?

Could something have happened to Wu Xie and the others?

Xie Xiaohua immediately froze on the spot.

"Squeak!"

Two more people entered Su Mo's room; they were two women.

"Master Su..."

The older woman at the head of the group chuckled, "What brings you to the Crescent Hotel..."

This man was the former head of the Yin family, and beside him was his daughter, Yin Nanfeng, the current owner of the Crescent Moon Hotel.

The reason why the head of the Yin family allowed his daughter to show her face in front of Su Mo was to complete the handover of the Crescent Hotel under Su Mo's witness.

If Yin Nanfeng encounters trouble in the future, Su Mo, as an elder, please lend him a hand.

That's pretty much what it means to be the head of the Yin family.

Su Mo was fully aware of all of this.

However, in Su Mo's opinion, the head of the Yin family was worrying unnecessarily. With Zhang Rishan around, the New Moon Hotel would be invincible in Yanjing.

Su Mo smiled mysteriously, "Boss Yin! I must congratulate you in advance..."

The two heads of the Yin family were both taken aback. "Master Su... what is there to celebrate?"

"Hahaha…"

Su Mo laughed loudly, "Someone will be lighting sky lanterns soon, isn't that a joyous occasion?"

Of course, Su Mo didn't say the other half of what he wanted to say: although that person lit the sky lantern, he didn't pay at all!

Hey! It's all free!

Chapter 187: The Wu, Wang, and Zhang Tomb-Robbing Trio Cause Trouble at the New Moon Hotel

"Master Su, what exactly do you mean by this?"

The two heads of the Yin family became even more puzzled.

"Hahaha…"

Su Mo laughed, "It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know in advance..."

"If anyone causes trouble later, don't come looking for me. We're just here to have fun..."

"........."

The two heads of the Yin family looked at each other, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Su Mo meant.

Yin Nanfeng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Master Su, Chairman Zhang of the Nine Gates Association is here today. With him here, the New Moon Hotel will definitely not be in chaos..."

Su Mo's smile widened even more. "Alright, alright, let's continue watching..."

Just as Wu Xie entered, Su Mo discovered that Zhang Qiling, dressed in a suit and in disguise, had also entered the New Moon Hotel.

Su Mo guessed that with Zhang Qiling around, Zhang Rishan would definitely not dare to make a move, or perhaps this Baishui Mountain would not dare to show himself at all.

Although the Zhang family of Northeast China is now defunct in name only, Zhang Qiling still holds the title of the family patriarch. Such a large family that has been passed down for thousands of years has extremely strict rules.

Zhang Rishan's bloodline is above that of Zhang Dafoye, making him a true descendant of the Zhang family. If he were to act violently towards Zhang Qiling, he would likely be secretly criticized and condemned as an unfilial and disloyal person, and would not be able to live a peaceful life in his next life.

Su Mo called out, "Let the auction begin... don't stop!"

"The real show is about to begin!"

.........

On the other side, Wu Xie entered the auction room on the second floor of the Huo family matriarch's house.

Grandma Huo looked at Wu Xie with a cold expression, "You're Wu Laogou's descendant—Wu Xiaogou? I thought your Wu family was extinct..."

Even though Wu Xie was indignant, he could only suppress his anger because of the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish and said, "Grandma Huo, the reason I came to see you today is to ask you about the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish..."

A bronze fish with snake-shaped eyebrows?

Grandma Huo was somewhat surprised. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea. "Then you've made a wasted trip. Who remembers such old, trivial matters... You can go now. Please give my regards to your grandmother and tell her that I'm still alive and well, and that she mustn't die before me..."

Old Mrs. Huo's words were tinged with bitterness, clearly because she still harbored resentment over Wu Laogou abandoning her and choosing Wu Xie's grandmother back then.

"please!"

The Huo family bodyguards blocked Wu Xie's way, gesturing for him to leave.

Having not learned anything about the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish, Wu Xie couldn't leave so easily. He sat down in the chair next to Old Madam Huo and said, "Grandma Huo, I'm not leaving until you tell me about the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish today..."

Wow!

When Wu Xie sat down in the spot where the sky lantern was lit, everyone became agitated, and even the people in the other rooms on the second floor looked up at Wu Xie.

"Lighting sky lanterns..."

"Who is this young man? He has quite the nerve!"

"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Following Zhang Dafoye and Su Ye, someone else has lit a sky lantern. This young man doesn't look much older than Su Ye back then!"

"Haha, who is Master Su? Master Su debuted at the age of 23, in the prime of his youth. You're really funny to think this person can compare to Master Su!"

The whispers around them soon reached Wu Xie's ears. Seeing that the situation was no longer under their control, Fatty quickly lowered his head and told Wu Xie about lighting the sky lanterns.

"Hey!"

Huo Xiangu laughed. "Your old dog Wu's life savings might just be ruined by you. Fine, if you can sit in an auction here, I'll tell you..."

To sit at an auction? Doesn't that mean you're going to book the whole auction?

Wu Xie gritted his teeth, his expression changed, but he did not get up.

.........

"What's going on..."
