Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Zhang Hanyan raised her eyes to look at Xie Yuchen who was standing in front of her. More than ten years had passed, and he was no longer the eight-year-old child who had just taken over the Xie family.

She pointed to the chair opposite her and said calmly, "Sit down."

Xie Yuchen looked at the teacup she placed opposite him. Steam was rising from the tea in the cup, and it was obvious that it had just been poured.

She had known for a long time that he was coming to find her.

He walked over to her and sat down opposite her, staring at her intently.

"You...it's you, right?"

Even though she in his memory looked exactly like she in front of him, he still couldn't believe that they were the same person.

"What do you think, little brat? How come you have a bad memory now that you have grown up? With your abilities, the things I left for you back then must have multiplied many times, right?"

Only after these words did Xie Yuchen truly confirm that the person in front of him was the same person from that year.

He looked at her straight, completely unable to control his excitement, his eyes sparkling with excitement and the corners of his mouth raised high.

"Sister! It's really you! Then... after so many years, how come you..."

"Are you asking me why I haven't gotten older?"

Xie Yuchen nodded heavily.

Zhang Hanyan put down the teacup in her hand, looked at him and smiled slightly.

“This is one of the characteristics of the Zhang family. Until death, their appearance will remain at its youngest and best.

Xiaohua, to be honest with you, I was already like this when your grandfather was still young.

But you see, your grandfather has passed away, and I am still the same."

"My grandpa? You mean you know my grandpa too? Then... your relationship with my grandpa..."

"Don't think too much! It's just a simple cooperative relationship. I made a deal with Master Jie Jiu. In this deal, what I need to do is to protect the heads of the Nine Sects except Zhang Qishan, and..."

Zhang Hanyan paused for a moment and looked up at Xie Yuchen opposite her.

"After he passed away, protect his descendants, Xiaohua. That's why I helped you back then."

With just a few words, she answered all the doubts in Xie Yuchen's mind.

Even without him asking, she knew what he wanted to know and told him the answer in advance.

Xie Yuchen thought of the only letter with a special mark that he found among his grandfather's pile of things. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued to ask.

"Then, were you also the one who wrote to my grandfather to inform us to avoid the disaster? My grandfather never told me about it. I found the letter with the red butterfly mark among his belongings myself."

"Yes, back then, after the Siguniang Mountain incident, I guessed that Zhang Qishan was going to take action against you, so I wrote a letter in advance to inform Master Jiu."

Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Hanyan. Somehow, he suddenly thought of the most difficult and difficult days of his childhood.

At that time, he was only eight years old, and had to face a situation alone with wolves in front and tigers behind. He thought he could not survive.

However, late at night when he was almost about to collapse, someone suddenly pushed open his tightly closed door.

She was dressed in red, standing at the door, the moonlight shining on her body, as if she was coated with a layer of pure white holy light.

At that time, he curled up in the empty bed, thinking she was here to kill him.

He had no intention of escaping at all. He thought that it would be better to die. If he died, he would not be so tired, would not be plotted against by others, and he would be free if he died.

Death—everything is over!

But she seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance. She strolled over to him and reached out to touch his head.

He whispered, "Don't be afraid, little brat. I'm here to help you."

Her voice was soft and gentle. He looked up at her in surprise. Her eyes were like a lake in the morning light, clear and gentle, bringing him endless peace and comfort.

From that day on, she had always stood by his side. She taught him martial arts, how to kill, how to be ruthless, and how to strategize.

Before leaving, she left him countless priceless gold, silver and jewelry, and helped him kill several uncles in the family who had always been against him.

One sunny afternoon, she left in a red dress. For more than ten years, he had been waiting for her to come and see him, but she never came once.

Over the years, he has been looking for news about her everywhere, but no matter how hard he looks, he can't find any information about her.

She disappeared completely, so completely that it was as if this person had never existed in the world.

The brief time they had spent together seemed like an utterly illusory dream to him.

If he hadn't always carried the dagger she gave him, he would have almost felt that those days were just a dream.

"What are you thinking about, little brat?"

Zhang Hanyan waved her hand in front of Jie Yuchen's eyes. He suddenly came to his senses and lowered his eyes to hide the crystal clearness that was gradually appearing in his eyes.

"Nothing, sister. It's late. You should get some rest. We'll meet again later."

Xie Yuchen hurriedly got up and left, fearing that if he walked a step slower, Zhang Hanyan would notice his grievances that were almost beyond words.

[Host, what happened to Xie Yuchen? It's inexplicable...]

It’s okay, the child just feels aggrieved.

【What are you feeling wronged about? 】

Grievance...Yes, what is wrong with me?

Perhaps it was because of the injustice that when he was alone, the person who helped him out of the darkness never went back to see him again.

Zhang Hanyan looked at the curtains that were constantly blown by the wind, sighed softly, got up and lay on the bed to try to fall asleep.

Tongzi, don't I remember that Xie Yuchen's first appearance was at the Crescent Hotel? He will also fight with the little brother.

What's going on now? Why did he show up here early?

[Host, I asked the main system, and he said that so many things have changed because of your arrival.

Those places may seem insignificant, but when each insignificant thing is added to each other, it will bring about bigger storms.

Host, the original plot is slowly falling apart, so Xie Yuchen appears here. 】

The plot is broken? Why didn't Tiandao take action this time? Or is he planning to hold back a big one at the last minute?

[I don't know... But host, don't be afraid. The main system said that it was he who brought you here, and he will definitely keep you safe. ]

Why is he so smart now? Is he holding back his fart?

[Um... No, host, no matter what we want to do, we need your consent. If you don't agree, we can't do it. Don't worry.]

After he finished speaking, he looked into the empty void and fell silent.
