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

Su Mo rubbed his nose and gave an awkward smile, "The ones who got the curse are Fatty and Old Hu..."

Sherry Yang blinked, her little face showing confusion.

Su Mo explained, "I didn't want Professor Sun to know about my situation because he was there, so I told a lie..."

Shirley Yang's eyes widened, looking completely shocked.

Surprisingly, there was no Ghost Cave Curse when I went to the Jingjue Ancient City!

What kind of divine bloodline is this, so incredibly powerful!

"Oh, right..."

At this moment, Shirley Yang seemed to remember something and pressed on, "If there's no Ghost Cave curse, then why did you go to the Tomb of the King of Xian?"

Su Mo grinned, "I'm not going. Who's going to bring you all back? Besides, I also want to see the collection in the Prince Xian's tomb!"

The three were deeply moved upon hearing this.

What is brotherhood? This is brotherhood!

Fearing they might refuse, I even made up a reason to tell them.

Old Hu and Fatty raised their glasses and said solemnly, "Brother Su, all our words are in this drink. If it weren't for you, you would still be our brother... a brother forever! Cheers!"

The fat man chimed in, "All the words are in the wine, I'll drink it!"

After saying that, Lao Hu and the fat man drank it all in one gulp, displaying great magnanimity.

Su Mo smiled and drank a glass with the two of them.

Yingzi gazed at Su Mo's profile, her face full of tenderness, "Drink less..."

Handsome, rich, capable, loyal, and accomplished at a young age – this is the perfect man!

Looking across the entire Yenching University, you can't find a man like Su Mo.

Yingzi looked at Su Mo and grew happier the more she looked at him.

Shirley Yang glanced at Yingzi, then at Su Mo, and chuckled softly.

"Come on, stop talking so much, let's eat, the meat's all mushy!"

Su Mo reminded everyone to eat.

The fat man nodded repeatedly, "Eat...eat...what can relieve worries? Only meat!"

"Ha ha…"

Everyone laughed.

.........

After finishing the meal.

The group returned to Panjiayuan.

Taking advantage of everyone's presence, Su Mo led everyone to his bedroom and pointed to the box on the floor, "Old Jin, this box contains the things Li Chunlai tricked us out of. You can take it and sell it. I've taken a look; although the items aren't particularly good, they're still worth some money!"

"Alright, don't worry about it, leave it to me!"

Big Gold Tooth looked at the box on the ground and patted his chest.

Su Mo knew about Big Gold Tooth's business acumen, so he didn't say much. Pointing to another box, he said, "These are treasures from Li Chunfeng's tomb. They're all good stuff, take whatever you like..."

Everyone knew Su Mo's temperament, so they didn't bother with formalities and laughed, "Following Brother Su, it's hard not to get rich!"

Everyone picked out a few items they liked.

Su Mo picked up the black gold entrenching tool from the table and handed it to Fatty. "Fatty, this is a weapon I specially found for you. It's a black gold entrenching tool; it can cut through hair with a swift stroke and slice through iron like mud. It can cut down ordinary zombies one by one. It's a divine weapon. Practice with it more in the future..."

When the fat man heard that it was for him, he happily accepted it.

The fat man spotted the entrenching tool on the table as soon as he entered; it looked imposing and he liked it at first sight.

Unexpectedly, it was a weapon specially prepared for me.

"Slices iron like mud!"

"Hehe... Hahaha!"

The fat man took the black gold entrenching tool in his hand and immediately grinned foolishly. "Thanks, Brother Su. Thank you, Brother Su, I, Fatty, finally have my own weapon! Hahahaha!"

"Don't worry, I'll start practicing tomorrow. I won't sell it even if you kill me!"

"..."

Old Hu rolled his eyes, indicating that he had never been so speechless in his life.

"Our team is officially formed today..."

The fat man brandished his black and gold entrenching shovel, then looked at everyone and said, "Brother Su is the core of the team, so I'll call him Commander Su from now on. Miss Yang is meticulous and smart, so I'll call her Staff Officer Yang, Chief of Staff Yang. And Old Hu will be Commander Hu!"

The fat man chuckled as he gave everyone nicknames.

Sherry Yang covered her mouth and chuckled, "Staff Officer Yang? Sounds pretty good..."

The fat man reminded him, "It's Chief of Staff Yang. A staff officer without the title 'chief' is like a fart that doesn't even make a sound..."

Yingzi, standing to the side, looked at the fat man and asked, "So, Fatty, what's your name?"

"hey-hey…"

The fat man laughed, "In response to Madam Su, wherever I go, I am Fatty..."

He boasted a little, then teased Su Mo and Yingzi, making everyone incredibly happy.

"Fatty..."

Yingzi blushed and hid behind Su Mo, saying, "Fatty's mouth is full of lewd talk..."

"Okay, okay..."

Seeing that everyone was getting a little silly again, Su Mo quickly stopped them, "Alright, that concludes today's treasure distribution meeting. Everyone, go back to where you came from..."

Everyone dispersed laughing and joking, while Yingzi stayed behind to tidy up Su Mo's bedding. "I was going to wash the bedding with you, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly!"

Yingzi knelt on Su Mo's bed and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles.

Su Mo watched this scene with a sense of happiness.

It must be said that Yingzi has a pretty good figure. At eighteen or nineteen years old, she has bright, sparkling eyes, and especially her long legs under her white dress, which touched Su Mo's heart.

"Am I...am my life too stressful...?"

Looking at Yingzi's graceful figure, Su Mo thought to himself, "I have the money, and I've built my own antique street. Shouldn't I start enjoying life too?"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Master Xie Jiu, Yunnan Insect Valley

"Hey girl... how have you been lately?"

Su Mo asked a question out of the blue.

"It's alright..."

Yingzi lowered her head and tidied up Su Mo's bedding. She was very virtuous, like a good wife and mother.

"Oh, right..."

Yingzi turned her head, her face beaming as she looked at Su Mo, "There was a retired female professor at the school who really admired me, and she said she was willing to help me get a permanent position..."

"She even said that after we graduated, she wanted me to do archaeological research with her at Yenching University, but I didn't agree..."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, "Why didn't you agree? This is a good thing..."

If I can stay at Yenching University to teach after graduation, that would be an excellent choice.

Being a vocational education teacher at Yenching University is a prestigious position, and for someone like me, it represents a significant leap in my life.

Yingzi smiled and said, "I wanted to come back and help you. You let me into Peking University so you could help me manage the Su family shop, right..."

Su Mo chuckled, speechless. "...Little sister...you!"

"Promise her you'll stay at Yenching University from now on; you don't need to worry about the shop..."

A shop assistant and a teacher from Beijing—these are two completely different lives.

Moreover, in the antique business, there's a saying: "Three years without business, then three years of profit." Whether you're a shopkeeper or not doesn't really matter.

Su Mo stared into Yingzi's eyes, secretly using his Qi Observation Technique to probe Yingzi's fortune.

It was so red it was almost purple!

Su Mo was also taken aback when he saw the vast and boundless river of fortune above Yingzi's head.

Women's fortune is different from men's. If Yingzi's fortune were in ancient times, she would either be the richest woman in the country or a concubine second only to the mother of the nation. She would not only be wealthy herself but also have the fortune to bring good luck to her husband.

"What happened? Is it because of me?"

Su Mo's eyes flickered as he sat at the foot of the bed. "Hey girl, come here and give me a shoulder massage..."

"OK…"

Yingzi smiled sweetly, stood up and came behind Su Mo. Su Mo reached out and pulled Yingzi into his arms, the girl's fragrance wafting towards him.

"what…"

Yingzi screamed in panic, "Sister..."

Su Mo looked down at Yingzi's face, "From now on, follow me. You should know me; I'm not the kind of person who's fickle..."

Yingzi's tense expression slowly faded, and her face softened even more, "Su... Su Mo!"

These words were more like a signal, directly igniting Su Mo's anger.

From that moment on, the sparks flew and became unstoppable.

That night, the bed in Su Mo's room creaked and groaned for half the night.

.........

Four days later, Big Gold Tooth handed Su Mo a list. "Master Su, everything you requested is ready. However, these items cannot appear at Panjiayuan. The seller has already sent them to western Yunnan..."

"Once you reach western Yunnan, you can pick it up yourselves!"

Su Mo looked down at the list and exclaimed, "Wow, these are all high-end items!"
