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

"Brother, you're back! I just made a deal with the Third Elder. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Hanyan stood up with the talisman in her hand and walked towards Zhang Qiling. As she approached step by step, his expression gradually softened and he looked far less scary than before.

"Han Yan, what deal were you talking about?"

She picked up the talisman and waved it in front of his eyes. "I promised the Third Elder that I would let the Second Elder go, but the prerequisite is that he becomes a useless person and is under my control. If he dares to act rashly... he will die!"

Zhang Qiling took the talisman and examined it carefully. "What kind of talisman is this?"

"Puppet Talisman! Do you want it? I'll give you a few later, but you have to return this one to me first. I still need it."

"Ah."

Zhang Hanyan took the puppet talisman from his hand, turned around and looked at the Third Elder, "Third Elder, let's go, it's getting late, and I have to come back to cook!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhang Qiling grabbed Zhang Hanyan who was about to leave with the Third Elder and said softly, "Together!"

Zhang Hanyan smiled and nodded, "Okay! Together!"

The two followed the third elder towards the Elders' House. Along the way, the third elder was very anxious and kept stopping to urge them.

The three of them hurried along the way, and in a moment they arrived outside the second elder's room. The third elder opened the door and was about to take a step when Zhang Qiling's hair-shaped fingers caught his robe and he could not move.

"You wait outside!" Zhang Qiling said coldly.

After saying that, he pushed the third elder aside, pulled Zhang Hanyan into the room, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

"If you don't want to go in, then don't go in. Can't you just talk it out? I'm already old and you're still pushing me! You don't know how to respect the elderly at all!"

The third elder sat down on the steps angrily, not caring about his own face at all.

The people who were waiting in the dark were already accustomed to his sudden jumping behavior and pretended not to see it.

Inside the house, Zhang Hanyan had already woken up the unconscious Second Elder. Before he could fully wake up, she inserted the puppet talisman into his body and used Thousand Silks to bind his consciousness.

"Second Elder, who am I?"

The second elder looked at her dully and said, "Master..."

"Then who is he?"

Zhang Hanyan pointed at Zhang Qiling. The second elder followed her finger and said after thinking for a moment, "Master!"

Zhang Qiling looked at the Second Elder who was being manipulated by Zhang Hanyan like a puppet, and a hint of shock flashed across his eyes.

The puppet talisman is so powerful? If I had drunk that bowl of red potion, would I have been controlled by others like the Second Elder?

When he thought that he might become that kind of person, he couldn't help but feel a deep sadness in his heart.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't respond."

"Huh? What?" Zhang Qiling asked after coming back to his senses.

Zhang Hanyan looked at him in confusion, her brows furrowed as if she was thinking about what he was thinking about just now, so intently.

"Nothing, I mean we can go back now, it's all right now, he'll be very obedient from now on."

Zhang Qiling turned around to look at the Second Elder, only to see that he had a blank expression on his face and a dull gaze, looking no different from a puppet.

"Well, let's go!"

He was the first to walk out, and his unhesitating back made it seem as if he didn't want to stay in this room any longer.

What's going on, bro?

[What else could it be? I was just thinking if I had drunk the potion, would I have become like the Second Elder?

Same being manipulated, same... chess piece at the mercy of others. 】

Zhang Hanyan looked at the direction where Zhang Qiling left, with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

As long as I am here, he will never be a chess piece that can be manipulated by others.

She quickly chased in the direction Zhang Qiling left. She thought that he would just leave this unhappy place, but she didn't expect that the moment she stepped out of the door, she saw Zhang Qiling standing at the gate waiting for her.

"Bro!"

She ran away, her fiery red clothes fluttering in the wind, like a moth to a flame, flying desperately towards the only flame that could warm her.

"Let's go home. We won't come here anymore."

With just one glance, Zhang Qiling knew that she already knew the reason why he was in a trance.

The deep joy concealed the sadness in his heart, and his frowned brows instantly relaxed.

"Okay... let's... go home!"

Beneath his intermittent voice was an irrepressible joy.

As the setting sun shone, they walked side by side in the snow, smiling at each other, and the cold world was filled with warmth.

After the third elder was sure that the two had gone far away, he immediately rushed into the second elder's room to check the situation.

"Second brother? Haha, are you really awake? Han Yan really didn't lie. She really did what she said."

He chattered on for a long time before he realized that from beginning to end, no one from the Second Elder had responded to him a single word.

"Second brother?"

The third elder stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the second elder. No matter what he did, his eyes never blinked.

"What's going on? Isn't he awake? Why is he still not responding at all?"

The three words "puppet talisman" flashed through his mind, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Is the Puppet Talisman really this powerful? This... is even more powerful than the family's Soul-Losing Potion!"

The Third Elder recalled his past with Zhang Hanyan countless times, and was glad that he had not offended her.

At the same time, he also felt a little scared about the dirty thoughts that had arisen in his mind.

Fortunately... Fortunately, I didn't go against Han Yan, otherwise, wouldn't that be seeking death?

The Third Elder looked at the Second Elder who had no reaction, and the only thought of justice in his heart completely disappeared.

"Brother, don't blame me. After all, if you don't have the ability to deal with someone, then I have even less ability to deal with him.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Han Yan has always been a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. As long as you don't step on her bottom line, she won't do anything to you.

At the beginning, Xi Liu deceived Han Yan and drugged her on the orders of the boss. She didn't ignore Xi Liu, but just wanted to settle the score with the boss who made the decision behind the scenes.

You, the reason you've come to this point today is that you've offended her so badly, frequently using the person she cares about the most to threaten her, trampling on her bottom line. Tell me, if she doesn't deal with you, who else can she deal with?"

The third elder looked at the full moon hanging in the sky and let out a long sigh.

"Brother, whether you say I'm cowardly and incompetent or selfish, I'm sorry about helping you get revenge!"

The moonlight is deep and everything is silent. The soft moonlight gently caresses the branches, casting tiny black shadows.

In the darkness, a thin figure flew across the rooftops and disappeared in the blink of an eye...
