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

Seeing how sad he was, Zhang Hanyan put her arms around his waist, slowly tightening her grip around his waist, silently comforting him.

"Brother, none of this happened, did it? Don't be sad..."

"What else? What will happen next?"

When he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, as if he was expressing his inner conflicts and anxieties.

“When you find the bronze bell and become the clan leader, drink the red potion given to you by the elder. This potion will cause you to lose your memory every once in a while.

After losing your memory, you won’t remember anything but the mission that the Zhang family has to accomplish.”

Zhang Qiling thought of the potion that Zhang Hanyan had knocked over. It was as red as blood. Even now, thinking of it, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"continue......"

"The tomb robbery at Siguniang Mountain failed, and Zhang Qishan captured you and imprisoned you for twenty years, torturing you day and night.

He drew your blood, hoping to learn the secret of the Zhang family's immortality by studying your blood."

Memories of the past emerged, and scenes of Zhang Hanyan's harsh words against Zhang Qishan appeared before his eyes.

Zhang Qiling suddenly understood the real reason why she hated Zhang Qishan back then.

"So, this is why you wanted to kill Zhang Qishan again and again. It turns out that it was also for me."

Zhang Qiling closed his eyes, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and said.

"And what happened next."

"In the Medog Lama Temple, Lama Deren asked you to carve something that satisfied him before he would let you meet Aunt Baima.

It took you a year to finally satisfy him and let him see Aunt Baima as he wished, but she did not wake up.

In the last three days of her life, all that was left for you was three days of silence."

Red, red everywhere, the smell of unicorn blood, talismans all over the floor, and Zhang Hanyan lying on the bed, dying.

All of this kept appearing in Zhang Qiling's mind, as if pulling him back to that snowy morning.

He pushed the door open and saw her pale face, bloodless lips, and the smell of blood that permeated the surroundings.

Memories kept coming back to him, and Zhang Qiling felt as if his heart was being tortured and cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

He held her, tightening his arms again and again, as if he wanted her to embed her whole body in his arms.

“Yan Yan…you knew she wouldn’t wake up, so you used the soul-returning charm to force her to wake up and stay with me…that’s why she was injured so badly.

If I hadn’t discovered it in time, you would have almost…”

His words revealed his inner uneasiness; his voice was weak and trembling, like a delicate flower swaying in a violent storm.

"Yan Yan... I am not worthy of you..."

"You deserve it! Bro, you deserve it more than anyone!"

Zhang Hanyan interrupted him loudly, her voice extremely firm and powerful, as if only in this way could she tell him her determination.

His eyes were red and a hot tear silently slid down.

"Yan Yan, keep talking. I want to know everything that happened next. Everything that should have happened."

"Okay, after Medog, you lost your memory in Guangxi and were captured and put into a tomb to fish for corpses. Chenpi Ah Si saw that you were good at fighting and saved you.

Afterwards, you kept working for Chenpi A'Si. In the Qixing Lu Palace, you got the Ghost Seal and were injured. Da Kui also died from the bite of the Corpse Beetle King.

At the Yunding Palace in Changbai Mountain, you enter the bronze gate alone.

In the Queen Mother Palace of Tamuta, Aning should have died in the mouth of a crested snake.

In Banai, Guangxi, you appeared in Miluotuo's cave. In order to protect Wu Xie, you and Fatty were both seriously injured, and Yuncai also died at the hands of Tajian.

In the Zhang family ancient building, Fairy Huo will die, and Pan Zi will die.

You were seriously poisoned and bled yourself in an attempt to control the spread of the poison by slowing the flow of blood, but you almost died.

Xie Yuchen was seriously injured, and the fat man was seriously injured.

After the matter of Zhang's ancient building is concluded, you will go to the Yunding Palace in Changbai Mountain alone and replace Wu Xie to guard the gate for ten years.

During these ten years, Wu Xie put all his efforts and schemes into eradicating the Wang family. Brother, in fact, the Wang family had already infiltrated the Zhang family.

Zhang Jin, your former master, was instructed by the Wang family to expose your identity as a fake Holy Infant.

Ten years later...Wu Xie and Fatty will return to the bronze door to take you home..."

Zhang Hanyan paused, then leaned into Zhang Qiling's arms again, absorbing the unique cool fragrance from him.

"Brother, this is everything that should have happened. I have said everything that should have been said..."

Zhang Qiling closed his eyes. His face was pale, his expression was silent and sad, his eyes were fragmented, and the last string of reason in his mind suddenly broke.

"Yan Yan, you weren't involved in any of the things you said, so everything that was supposed to happen didn't involve you, right?

Because of you, these things will change. If it weren't for you... all of us... would have ended up in trouble...

So, the Heavenly Dao wanted to kill you, but you... in order to change everything... almost..."

His voice was hoarse, and tears fell drop by drop onto her neck.

The tears were hot, burning her skin.

Zhang Hanyan struggled to break free from his arms and looked up at him. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, but now they were covered with a thin layer of mist.

Crystal tears rolled down like falling stars, carrying endless sadness, bitterness and regret.

"Brother...I..."

Seeing his sad look, she really wanted to tell him everything about the task assigned to her by the system.

She wanted to tell him that apart from the things about him, everything else was just to complete the mission.

The system sensed her intention and gave a small warning as she was about to speak.

[Host, you cannot reveal the existence of this system...]

The alarm bells suddenly rang in her mind. She groaned and grabbed Zhang Qiling's arm tightly with a look of pain.

"Yan Yan! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Qiling held her with concern. The trace of pain between her brows made his fingers tremble unconsciously.

Twice, both times he almost lost her. Now, any sign of abnormality on her part would make his heart tremble and make him extremely nervous.

He was afraid that she would leave him just because of a small negligence of his.

After a while, Zhang Hanyan shook her head.

"It's okay, I just have a little headache, I'll be fine after a rest."

He hurriedly helped her lie down, put two fingers together, and gently pressed her temple.

"Yanyan..."

He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, his tightly furrowed brows did not relax, and there were tiny glimmers of tears in his eyes.

"I'm fine, little brother. It doesn't hurt anymore. Really. I'm hungry after sleeping for so long... I want to eat. Can we go out for dinner?"

"Okay, I'll help you up."

Zhang Qiling gently helped her up. He carefully observed the expression on her face, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was nothing unusual.

They walked out of the tent hand in hand. Wu Xie and Fatty sat by the lake. The fire was burning brightly. The aroma of food wafted into her nose.

They walked over together and sat down opposite Wu Xie and Fatty.

"Brother, Hanyan, come and eat. Fatty and I have already eaten. I saved some for you two. It's still hot."

Wu Xie smiled and pointed at the lunch box placed next to the fire as he spoke.

Zhang Qiling reached out and picked up a lunch box. After making sure that the temperature was not too hot, he opened the lid and handed it to Zhang Hanyan.

"Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Zhang Hanyan took the lunch box and chopsticks he handed over with a smile, and ate with relish, a satisfied smile on her face.
