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

"Master, the little brother doesn't know that I came to see you. He went to Changbai Mountain and said he was going to see the bronze gate."

Zhang Yecheng looked at Zhang Hanyan doubtfully. For some reason, he always felt that she was lying!

"Oh... since you've seen it now, then you can go back. I only have a little finishing touch to do. Once I'm done, I'll go back!"

The word "go back" made Zhang Hanyan's face look a little embarrassed. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, not knowing how to tell Zhang Yecheng about the Zhang family.

She hesitated for a while, reached out and pulled Zhang Yecheng's sleeve, walked to the side, and said hesitantly.

"Master... Zhang family, you may not be able to go back..."

Zhang Yecheng frowned and asked in confusion, "Why? What do you mean you can't go back?"

"Uh... the Zhang family is now deserted. Even the elders have left the Zhang family mansion and are living abroad to retire. The Zhang family... no longer exists!"

Zhang Hanyan looked at Zhang Yecheng's expression and continued speaking when she saw that there was nothing unusual.

"Master, when you finish your work here, go to Germany. Most of the Zhang family members are there, including the elders. When my brother and I finish our work, we will come to you."

"What are you going to do? Do you need my help?"

"It's what a Zhang family head and a saint should do. Something that the Zhang family has guarded for thousands of years must have an end. Master, you know my brother and I are capable, nothing will go wrong."

Zhang Yecheng looked at her with a frown. He always felt that she was hiding something from him.

Forget it, the children are grown up now and they don’t want to tell me their troubles, so I just let them be!

"Okay, when things here are over, I will take everyone here and leave. I'll wait for you in Germany!"

"Okay, Master, take care. My brother is still waiting for me to find him. I'll leave first."

"Okay, go ahead, and remember to come to Germany to find me early."

"Yeah. I know!"

Zhang Hanyan took out an amulet infused with spiritual energy and handed it to Zhang Yecheng.

"This is something my brother and I found in a temple and had a senior monk bless it. Take it and it will keep you safe!"

Zhang Yecheng looked at the amulet folded into a triangle. The runes painted with cinnabar on it were dazzling and plain, and made his eyes wet.

"Okay, got it, let's go!"

He lowered his head and waved, not daring to look up at her, fearing that she would notice his abnormality.

After being together for many years, Zhang Hanyan naturally knew what was going on with him. She did not expose him, but just turned around and left in silence.

The fire flickered in the dark passage. The girl's clothes fluttered in the wind, and she walked out with a graceful back.

"Take care, little girl! Remember to bring the little brat to me!"

Zhang Yecheng kept staring at the dazzling red figure until she completely disappeared into the darkness, then he turned around and walked back.

Dark clouds were looming, the wind was howling, fallen leaves were drifting in the wind, dust was blown up by the wind, the faint blue lightning was winding and twisting, and heavy rain was about to fall, and the air was filled with a suffocating and depressing atmosphere everywhere.

Zhang Qiling and his personal guards took shelter in a cave from the wind and rain. He looked at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, then looked back at the road he had just walked, hoping that the familiar figure would appear soon.

Hanyan, after tonight, the time we agreed on will come, why haven't you come yet?

"Chief, what are you doing standing at the entrance of the cave?"

Zhang Qiling's personal guards monitored Zhang Qiling's every move at all times. As long as he was out of their sight for more than one minute, they would immediately come out to look for him to prevent him from escaping.

Zhang Qiling ignored his questioning and stood alone at the entrance of the cave for a long time. When the sky became completely dark and he was sure that the person who was supposed to come would not show up, he turned around and walked into the cave in disappointment.

"Bro!"

The familiar voice entered his ears, making him a little dazed. There was a little confusion in his eyes, as if he was not sure whether the voice just now was his hallucination or not.

"Brother? Why didn't you answer me when I called you just now? Are you angry?"

A familiar voice sounded behind him, so close that he was sure that what he heard just now... was not an auditory hallucination!

It took him a lot of effort to barely suppress his inner joy. When he turned around and saw her, no matter how calm and restrained he was, Zhang Hanyan could still see the joy in his eyes.

"You're so happy? Is it because you saw me?"

She smiled sweetly as she spoke, and that brilliant smile, as bright as a bustling summer day, contained an unparalleled elegance that was as beautiful as the love of three thousand worldly affairs.

Zhang Qiling looked at her without saying a word, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously twice, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his hands hanging on both sides of his body slowly clenched, trying hard to restrain his urge to rush over and hug her.

"Han Yan..." His voice trembled slightly, forbearing and restrained, "I have waited for you for a long time..."

"I know, so after I saw Master, I immediately rushed to see you because I was afraid you would worry."

I'm even more afraid that you'll go back to find me and fall into Zhang Qishan's den again.

"Let's go inside, it's going to rain!"

"it is good."

Zhang Qiling stepped aside to make way for her and walked side by side with her into the depths of the cave.

As soon as the two of them entered, the guards sitting by the fire stood up and stepped back in shock when they saw Zhang Hanyan.

"Saintess... why are you here? Our Buddha?"

"Not dead!" Zhang Hanyan said sternly, "But even though I didn't kill him, it doesn't mean I won't kill you.

Therefore, I advise you... It is best not to act rashly. Before you say or do anything, it is best to consider whether your life is long enough!"

When the guards heard her threat, their faces turned pale. After all, everyone present had seen how she taught Zhang Qishan a lesson.

"Yes, we will definitely obey the orders of the Saint and will never do anything to displease her."

"That's best!"

Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Zhang Hanyan did not want to say anything more and pulled Zhang Qiling to sit down by the fire. Seeing this, the others consciously moved away and went to the other side to rest.

"Brother, have you eaten? I passed through a town on my way here and bought some food."

As she spoke, she took off her backpack, took out the food she had bought and handed it to Zhang Qiling.

"You pick what you like to eat!"

"Have you eaten?" Zhang Qiling picked up a piece of cake and handed it to her, "Eat one."

"Okay!" Zhang Hanyan took it with a smile and took a bite of the osmanthus cake. The fragrance of osmanthus filled her mouth and throat.

"Brother, is the person I chose dead?"

Zhang Qiling swallowed the cake and shook his head, "No, he tried to die several times but failed. They won't let him die."

"That's right. If he dies, there will always be someone to replace him. They are smart at this time!"

"You just said...you saw..."

"Well, I saw that he is safe. He will go to Germany after he has done what he needs to do. I told him to retire there. We will look for him later."

Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, Zhang Yecheng's face is still clear in Zhang Qiling's memory, as if he had seen it yesterday.

"Well, that's good. Let's take a rest. There are so many people here now, this is not the time to talk."

"it is good!"

The two of them leaned against the stone wall behind them, snuggled up to each other, closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The guards sitting in the distance saw them fall asleep, and began to tidy up the sleeping place quietly, and squeezed together in a crowded little corner to rest.

The guard who was tied up with hemp rope looked at the people who were sleeping soundly. A small blade hidden in his sleeve fell into his palm and quietly cut the hemp rope tied around his wrist.

The tiny sound was drowned out by the whistling wind. Zhang Hanyan, who was dozing with her eyes closed, listened to the faint sound from the opposite side, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
