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

"..."

The tavern was completely silent.

The air seemed to freeze.

The Wang family members turned pale on the spot.

Chapter 379: The Successor of Fengwo Mountain

With over a dozen guns pointed at his head, the leader of the Wang family panicked. He immediately lowered his gun and took the initiative to show defiance, saying, "Brother, I think this is a misunderstanding. We have no past grudges or recent conflicts..."

"Smack!"

Before the man could finish speaking, the fat man slapped him across the face. "Misunderstanding my ass! You pointed a gun at my head and you call it a misunderstanding? Misunderstanding your mother's ass!"

Even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it, let alone the Wang family. As a family with a history of over a hundred years, they once brought the Zhang family to the brink of collapse, and they are extremely proud of themselves.

The man glared angrily at Wang Kaixuan and his group, "May I ask which gang you gentlemen belong to?"

"Hey…"

Displeased with the man's gaze, the fat man slapped him again. "Bullying others with your power, you dog! You think I'm afraid? Hehe... I, Fatty, am not changing my name or surname, I am Wang Kaixuan of Panjiayuan!"

Old Hu said, "Hu Bayi!"

"..."

The man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached for the pistol on the ground, but the fat man had anticipated this and kicked him to the ground.

"Pooh!"

The fat man said, "You little brat, are you still trying to act all high and mighty? Kid, do you think I should punch you?"

clap clap clap!

The fat man patted the man's cheek, showing him absolutely no respect.

The man gritted his teeth and glared at the fat man.

He had hoped to defuse the crisis by showing weakness, but he never expected to encounter the Wang family's mortal enemy.

If they had known they were Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and others, they would never have dared to fire their guns.

For nearly a year, the Wang family has maintained peaceful relations with their mortal enemies, the Nine Gates, but has clashed with Su Mo and Hu Bayi of Panjiayuan multiple times.

In the past year alone, no fewer than three hundred members of the Wang family have died at the hands of Su Mo.

The two sides are already mortal enemies!

"This kid isn't convinced..."

The fat man said to the people around him, "See that? This kid's not having it!"

"Fatty, leave it to me. Give me an hour, and I guarantee I'll make him completely obedient!"

"Fatty, I only need five minutes!"

Many of the people present were among the earliest orphans. Although they weren't as infamous as Chaos and others, they were still high-ranking employees within the company and had made quite a name for themselves in the underworld.

"All right…"

After a long silence, Su Mo suddenly said, "Hurry up and pack up. Dump the bodies in the Wuxia Mountains. Don't delay the brothers' meal..."

Everyone immediately shut their mouths. "It's Master Su!"

As they spoke, two burly men drew daggers from their waists. "You're lucky today. Master Su has spoken, so he won't torture you anymore!"

Master Su... Su Mo!

Several members of the Wang family knew Su Mo's status; once Su Mo spoke, their fate was sealed, and a miserable smile appeared on their faces.

It was supposed to be a small mission, but I never expected to run into this god of death!

That's really fucking unlucky!

Contrary to everyone else's expectations, the head of the Wang family hurriedly shouted, "Master Su, Master Su..."

"I have something to say... and I need a secret!"

"..."

Everyone was looking at Su Mo.

Su Mo remained calm. "Deal with everyone else. Only he needs to speak!"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, the two men wielding daggers were about to attack.

Su Mo scolded, "Go outside and find a quiet place. Don't ruin the proprietress's business!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The man chuckled sheepishly, then dragged the Wang family members away.

Su Mo looked at the head of the Wang family and said, "Speak..."

Faced with Su Mo's ruthless decisiveness, the leaders of the Wang family dared not hesitate any longer and said, "Our patriarch has also arrived... Our patriarch of the Wang family has also come to Qingxi Town!"

The head of the Wang family?

The group exchanged glances, their expressions varying.

However, Su Mo remained surprisingly calm. "Even if Wang Zanghai came, let alone the head of the Wang family, I wouldn't be afraid. Take him away and kill him!"

The Wang family leader panicked, "No, no, no, Master Su, I know this young lady's identity, I'll tell you..."

Su Mo ignored the man and said, "I know her identity better than you do. Go away, take her away!"

The burly man beside him nodded, "Yes!"

"Master Su! Master Su!"

The leader of the Wang family cried out, "Spare my life! Spare my life..."

Su Mo took a sip of wine and said nothing more.

"..."

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the proprietress.

Who is this person?

Why did the Wang family take her away?

Everyone was completely baffled.

The proprietress smiled calmly, "Gentlemen, your dishes will be ready soon, I'll serve them right away!"

Su Mo suddenly said, "When we pass by the mountains, we look up and see a gold plaque on the mountain, followed by a silver plaque, all with the character '蜂' (bee) on the top!"

The proprietress, who had already turned to leave, froze on the spot. She slowly turned around, looked Su Mo up and down, seemingly unable to believe that these words could come from her mouth. She thought she had misheard and asked, "A mirror reflects two mountains, showing the golden wind blowing across your face. I wonder which way you passed by Bee Mountain and recognized the gold and silver bee brand?"

What is this? A code?

The dozen or so experts who had come with Su Mo looked puzzled.

Meanwhile, Shirley Yang's eyes widened, and she thought to herself, "They're all here! We've actually run into the people from Beehive Mountain!" She then said, "Like a hawk in the wind, we follow the mountain's course, urging our horses onward; please don't be offended if the group isn't complete, and don't worry about our lack of manners!"

The proprietress looked even more surprised and asked again, "Up or down the mountain? What brings you here?"

Sherry Yang said, "I'm stuck in a rut, so I'd like to ask for the beehive."

The proprietress nodded slightly, but perhaps still a little uneasy, she continued to ask, "The Bee Lord is easy to see, but the Bee Box is hard to invite. I wonder what purpose it will serve once it is invited?"

Sherry Yang was unwilling to easily reveal her whereabouts, and only said, "Tea is reserved for guests from famous mountains, and the door welcomes visitors from all over the world. We are all people from the mountains, so why ask about our origins!"

The proprietress slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "That makes perfect sense! In all these decades, I've never heard anyone speak so frankly. Gentlemen, I was quite negligent just now. Please come inside..."

Some things are better left unsaid in front of so many people, so Su Mo nodded and gestured to his brothers, "You guys start eating..."

"Yes!"

The crowd was completely bewildered by what Su Mo had just said, and most of them simply let it go in one ear and out the other, without giving it any thought. When they heard Su Mo's instructions, they nodded and sat down again.

Eat and drink to your heart's content!

Su Mo, along with Shirley Yang, Lao Hu, Fatty, Zhang Yingchuan, and the landlady, entered the backyard.

Sherry Yang said, "I never imagined that you, young lady, are a descendant of the Honeycomb Mountain lineage!"

Fengwoshan, a place of craftsmen from all walks of life, specializing in making personal accessories!

The proprietress gave a wry smile, "Times have changed. It's a society governed by law now. There's no such thing as a 'Honeycomb Mountain' anymore... But to see tomb raiders here today, haha..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Su Mo was also a little puzzled.

The proprietress smiled and explained, "Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi, I've heard of you. You two are quite famous in the underworld!"

Everyone was relieved.

Su Mo then said, "How did a descendant of the prestigious Fengwo Mountain family end up running a restaurant..."

The proprietress said, "Didn't I just say that times have changed? Besides... I earn more running a restaurant than crafting tomb-raiding weapons, almost ten thousand a month!"

The proprietress chuckled, looking every bit the money-grubber.

Chapter 380: Entering the Mountains

The proprietress said, "Didn't I just say that times have changed? Besides... I earn more running a restaurant than crafting tomb-raiding weapons, almost ten thousand a month!"

The proprietress chuckled, looking every bit the money-grubber.

"..."

Su Mo remained silent.

Time is indeed a wonderful thing!

According to the original novel, the landlady, also known as Yaomei, was adopted by Li, the salesman from Fengwoshan, when she was a child.

According to the original storyline, when she first met Lao Hu and Fatty, she was just a young woman in her early twenties, with delicate features and a clean and neat appearance, a true Sichuan girl.

Life is unpredictable; I never imagined I'd become such a greedy little money-grubber.
