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

Three years passed in a flash, and the Zhang family completely fell apart. All those who were able to leave left, and the only ones left were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled who could not leave, and those who were unwilling to leave.

In the early morning, the sky was turning pale. Zhang Hanyan opened the window. The grass and trees washed by the heavy rain showed an intoxicating green color in the morning light. A breeze blew by, and a few round raindrops dripped from the leaves, sparkling in the refraction of light and shadow.

Boom boom boom——"Han Yan, they are getting ready to leave."

Zhang Qiling knocked on the door and spoke softly. His voice was cool and gentle, like a clear stream, washing away all dust and flowing quietly over the long years.

"Okay, got it, I'll come!"

Zhang Hanyan quickly put on her clothes and simply tied her long hair into a ponytail, looking clean and neat.

"Brother, I'm fine. Where are they?"

"We should be close to the junction of the inner and outer courtyards."

She closed the door with her backhand, pulled Zhang Qiling and walked out, "Then let's hurry up and send them away, then we can leave this place. I've already thought of where to go, just follow me!"

She muttered as she walked, pulling his sleeve with her fingers and walking out quickly.

Zhang Qiling let her pull him. He looked at the path ahead that he had walked countless times. But only this time, he seemed to smell the scent of freedom.

"Patriarch, Saint."

The elders who had gathered together saw them all bowing, and they only cared about being polite. They did not think there was anything wrong with bowing to two young people at their age.

Zhang Qiling glanced at the eight elders and said nothing more.

"Well, since you have made your decision, we will not obstruct you any more. We will not say any more unnecessary words. We are here to bid farewell to all the elders. We will see you again in the future..."

Zhang Hanyan waved goodbye with a faint smile, without any reluctance on her face.

The Great Elder's gaze moved between the two of them, and the way he seemed to be hesitant to speak was very uncomfortable to watch.

Even though Zhang Hanyan had seen what the Great Elder wanted to say before leaving, she did not ask him in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He stood there and stared at Zhang Hanyan. Until the very end, he did not wait for her to ask him the reason.

Alas... let it be... it's all fate...

The Great Elder turned away in despair. Seeing this, the other elders bowed to Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling and turned to follow the Great Elder's footsteps.

It was clearly a sunny morning, but the back of the great elder gave people a bleak feeling in the wind. Having lived for hundreds of years, this time, his back was really hunched.

"Brother, they have already left, let's go too. Now that the Zhang family is deserted, there is no need for us to stay."

"it is good."

The two returned to the courtyard, took the things that had been packed long ago, closed the door and prepared to leave.

They stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around the place where they had lived for more than ten years. Every place and every corner was filled with memories between them.

"I've lived here for more than ten years, and now I have to leave. I'm actually a little reluctant to leave."

Zhang Qiling turned his head and looked at Zhang Hanyan who was standing beside him and looking around, without any feeling of reluctance in his heart.

As soon as he thought that no matter where they went in the future, they would be together, in an instant, beautiful curves were drawn in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Han Yan, where are we going?"

Zhang Hanyan looked towards Zhang Yecheng's room. The door was locked and had not been opened for many years.

"Let's go to Guangxi and look for Master. We haven't heard from him since the only letter three years ago. We don't know how he is doing. Let's go look for him."

Zhang Qiling followed her gaze and saw that the dark yellow lock was covered with dust and the pattern carved on it could no longer be seen clearly.

The moments of his past interactions with Zhang Yecheng came to his mind, and the worry in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, let's go find him."

In the blink of an eye, spring has gone and summer has come. The scorching sun shines mercilessly on the earth. The sand on the ground seems to be sparkling, and the hot air exudes the power of midsummer.

Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan have been in Guangxi for nearly three months. During these three months, they went out to look for Zhang Yecheng every day, but they found nothing except the bodies of several members of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yecheng and other members of the Zhang family seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. They searched everywhere around the lake in the deep mountains of Banai, but found nothing in the end.

"Brother, under this lake..."

Before Zhang Hanyan could finish her words, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back, as if thousands of needles were piercing her flesh, making her face turn pale instantly.

She endured the pain inside her body and was about to say something, but immediately she felt her heart suddenly beating violently.

She was breathing rapidly and didn't dare to take a deep breath, for fear that she would faint on the ground at that moment.

"Han Yan!"

When Zhang Qiling turned around, he saw her trying hard to hold back the pain and about to collapse.

He ran towards her quickly, caught her before she fell, and held her in his arms.

"Hanyan, wake up!"

No matter how he called her, she did not wake up. This was the first time Zhang Qiling saw her so weak. Her closed eyes made him feel as if countless mosquitoes were flying around his ears, gnawing at his heart, making him upset and anxious.

"Who are you!"

Two men in blue Zhongshan suits looked at them warily, the daggers in their hands flashing a blinding cold light.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling did not answer, the two men looked at each other and rushed straight towards him, holding daggers and preparing to attack his vital points.

A cold light flashed across his eyes, and he gently put Zhang Hanyan down, his body moving with the wind, without any fancy moves. In just one or two moves, the two men fell to the ground wailing.

"stop!"

A white-haired foreign man stopped Zhang Qiling who was about to leave. He walked out of the shade of the trees and looked at him with interest.

"You are very skilled..."

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking Zhang Qiling up and down, his eyes full of determination.

"I can give you anything you want if you do something for me, how about that? Consider it?"

No matter what the foreigner in front of him said, Zhang Qiling ignored him and went straight to Zhang Hanyan.

He picked her up and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"My dear, I still advise you to nod and agree, otherwise...my people will not let you leave."

The foreign man looked at Zhang Hanyan in Zhang Qiling's arms and smiled triumphantly.

“If you agree, I can heal the person in your arms. I have the best doctors on my team, and I guarantee that she can be cured.

But...if you don't agree, even if you are good at martial arts, you may not be able to protect her safely during a fight..."
