Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Chapter 68: A Fascinating Architectural Style

But! Regardless of whether it's a group or not, if someone suddenly appears in front of you, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Upon hearing this, Wu Erbai knew that the person he had sent had already been discovered by the other side. He was not surprised. If this person was really as his third brother described, it would be strange if the other side hadn't discovered him, given their strength.

“I will bring those people back. I didn’t handle this well, Mr. Qin. Please don’t take offense. I’m just an uncle who is worried about his nephew.”

Wu Erbai spoke tactfully, using the excuse that elders should protect their own children to lightly gloss over the matter.

Qin Henian didn't dwell on it, after all, he still had to follow the man's nephew, and if the relationship became too strained, it would be difficult to handle later.

At the doorway, two people, one fat and one thin, crept furtively against the wall, their ears pressed against it, as if they were listening to what the people inside were saying.

"Tianzhen, did you hear what your second uncle was talking about with Brother Henian inside?"

"Judging from their stance, Fatty, I doubt they'll get along. What if they start fighting? Who should we side with?"

Fatty Wang pressed his ear against the wall and asked Wu Xie, who was also pressed against the wall with him.

"Whose side are we going to help? Fatty, who do you think the two of us can help? I feel that with the way my second uncle courted death before, he wouldn't be able to withstand He Nian's overwhelming power. Besides, didn't you see He Nian's fighting strength before? And those mysterious and unpredictable methods..."

"I'm just hoping that my second uncle can be spared and live for a few more years. After all, our Wu family still needs my second uncle to hold on!"

Wu Xie analyzed the situation rationally and helplessly. He knew very well that with his current abilities, he was no match for the people under the Wu family. Moreover, he vaguely felt that He Nian wouldn't harm his second uncle, after all, they were... practically friends now, having been through so much together...

Inside the room, Hei Xiazi and Qin Henian, with their heightened senses, heard the whispers of the two outside. Hei Xiazi couldn't help but raise his hand to adjust his sunglasses, his lips curving into an uncontrollable smile. He managed to suppress it by thinking about a few sad things about not receiving the final payment.

Qin Henian was much better off. He was laughing inwardly, but his facial muscles were perfectly controlled so that there was no smile at all. However, when he looked at Wu Erbai next to him, his eyes became more and more strange.

One can only say that Wu Erbai is "lucky" to have such a nephew. Although it is unknown whether Wu Erbai likes this kind of luck, Qin Henian is quite happy to see it.

"Since Mr. Wu has said so, I naturally believe you. After all, I have learned a little about your family's situation after I came back. I can only say that the Wu family and I have no conflict."

"Regardless of interests or anything else, I don't think our relationship is one of enemies. I believe Mr. Wu understands what I mean."

Qin Henian stared intently at Wu Erbai. He had an urge to control the other's mind, but he suppressed it. Qin Henian didn't want to lose control of his emotions. He was afraid that he might do something that would destroy the world, which would affect his divine status. If he couldn't return to his Baiyun Hexiao Palace, it would be abolished. Where would his people go then?

He remembered that many of the celestial beings he was reborn into had already risen to the ranks of immortals, gods, and celestial lords...

Sigh, he was perfectly content with his reincarnation as a divine beast, and suddenly he was slapped into another world. Who can he complain to now... *sigh*

"Mr. Qin, you're too kind. The future will be decided in the future; let's focus on the present."

Without giving Qin Henian a definite answer, Wu Erbai wore a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.

More than half an hour later, Qin Henian and Hei Xiazi stepped across the threshold of Wu Erbai's living room door one after the other, and were greeted by two extremely curious gazes.

"He Nian! What did my second uncle say to you? Can you tell me?"

Wu Xie's puppy-like curiosity.

Fatty Wang had a gossipy look on his face.

"It's nothing serious, they just chatted with me and the blind man."

"Oh, by the way, your second uncle also said that you should carry on the family line, saying that you are the only son in the Wu family now, and it seems that he is going to arrange blind dates for you!"

Qin Henian looked at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang with a smile, as if he didn't know what serious things he had said, completely disregarding Wu Xie's life or death.

Meanwhile, Hei Xiazi had already stepped to the side of the yard and stood with his amnesiac old partner, enjoying the farce together.

It was already late, and the group of people, shrouded in darkness, didn't stay long at the Wu family's old house. They then boarded a large, rickety van and drove towards their destination, Wushanju.

Back at Wushanju, which was now completely different, Wu Xie was a little disoriented at first, but his gaze quickly fell on the shelves... Hmm! He adapted in a second.

“It’s getting late. I had Wang Meng clean all the remaining rooms at Wushanju this afternoon. Let’s make do and squeeze in for now.”

Wu Xie thought that his family only had three rooms and a storage room that had been converted in the afternoon. After tidying up, there would be a total of four rooms. Now that there were five of them, someone would have to stay together tonight.

"Squeeze in? Well then, I'll reluctantly squeeze in with my Henian tonight, hehe."

Hei Xiazi, not wanting his son Henian to share with others, spoke up first. He said that if he slept with Henian at night, he might be able to take advantage of the situation... Hehe... The blind man is so clever?

He was thinking this when a simple, understated remark shattered Hei Xiazi's illusion.

"Me and Henian!"

Zhang Qilin, who was occasionally lost in thought, came back to his senses. After recuperating in the hospital, he had gotten to know the people around him. Qin Henian often took care of him and would subconsciously prepare some Chinese medicine for him to regulate his body from time to time. Although the others were also very kind to him, he felt uncomfortable at the thought of them having to sleep in the same bed with others, and subconsciously refused to speak.

"You're mute! You...you're immoral!"

Black Glasses' pupils contracted behind his sunglasses. He knew this mute was up to no good. He was still causing trouble even though he had amnesia. In the two months that He Nian had been helping them recover, he had suffered quite a few hidden losses. This made Black Glasses realize that Zhang Qilin was a black-hearted sesame dumpling with a white exterior but a black interior, not a good person at all!

Hei Xiazi couldn't help but complain in his heart, but when he met Zhang Qilin's gaze, he didn't know what to do, because he couldn't beat him!

Ok?

Zhang Qilin tilted his head, ignoring Hei Xiazi's shouts, and stared at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie felt uneasy under their gaze and was extremely uncomfortable. Why did you two, who were secretly plotting against each other, suddenly bring along a weakling like him?

"Okay...okay, then you can go sleep in the bedroom where Fatty took you to change clothes before, young man."

.............

Bang! The door slammed shut, and Qin Henian and Zhang Qilin entered the bedroom. The two first washed up with the toothpaste and cups they had bought that afternoon. There were two pillows on the bed, one for each of them.
