Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chapter 291 Well, welcome home!

"Qishan? You're awake!"

Yin Xinyue felt her hand tighten and hurried to look at Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan had opened his eyes, and the emptiness in them was gone.

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang came closer and placed Zhang Qishan on a chair.

The three looked at Zhang Qishan, hesitant to speak.

For a moment, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Zhang Qishan frowned, thinking about his memories before he fell into a coma.

Looking at Qi Tiezui, there was anger in Qi Tiezui's eyes.

Looking at Adjutant Zhang, Adjutant Zhang's face was full of confusion.

Looking into Yin Xinyue's eyes, he saw the redness in her eyes and the traces of tears on her face.

Zhang Qishan stood up and raised his hand to touch the corner of Yin Xinyue's eyes. Yin Xinyue turned her head slightly and dodged.

Zhang Qishan's hand stopped in the air and finally dropped.

After a pause, he asked the three of them, "Where's Xiaoning?"

The cold wind rushed in through the doorway, stirring up the dust on the ground and turning the already drafty house into an ice cellar.

"Ah."

A mocking chuckle came from outside the door.

Er Yuehong climbed up the stairs and stared at Zhang Qishan with a half-smile on his face.

"rest assured.

As you wished, Xiao Ning is doing well."

The words squeezed out from Er Yuehong's lips and tongue were full of irony.

Zhang Qishan looked past the crowd and towards the sky outside the door where the sun was setting in the west.

The faint light shone on the eaves and roof covered with weeds, adding a touch of desolation to the house.

"Although I am a member of the Zhang family, I don't know all about the origin and development of my family."

Zhang Qishan spoke softly. If he didn't tell this matter now, he might become alienated from his long-time friends, subordinates, and even his future wife.

Whether they believed it or not, he had to say it, and he had to take responsibility...

"Each of us is only clear about our own part; the rest is a mystery."

After Zhang Qishan finished speaking, everyone looked at Adjutant Zhang, who nodded to prove that what Zhang Qishan said was true.

“Hundreds of years ago, an elder in the clan violated clan rules and was expelled from the clan.

My branch of the family also wandered around, and when we came back, the old house had completely disappeared.

When I saw Xiao Ning stopping Erye from bringing out the bronze piece from the ancient tomb in the mine.

Then I realized why my father told me to return to Changsha before he died.

Thousands of years of history of our Zhang family ancient building are buried under the mines in Changsha.

That was where the Zhang family used to gather.

I don't know how many places like this there are in the world, but there are things that our tribe has always protected."

"So, the Buddha wants to prevent this secret from being revealed to the world?"

Qi Tiezui linked together Zhang Qishan's series of actions and drew a conclusion.

Zhang Qishan nodded, "The reason why a secret is called a secret is because it is hidden and unknown.

I believe in my family."

"Then why don't you want to believe Xiao Ning?!"

Er Yuehong spoke softly, as if questioning, but he also understood the difficulty in his words.

How could something that the Zhang family has been guarding for hundreds or even thousands of years change because of a person who suddenly appears?

"I have always believed it, but..."

Zhang Qishan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

He tried to trust Chu Ning, but the doubt in his heart turned this trust into exploitation, which eventually led to the current situation.

He glimpsed a corner of the secret from Chu Ning, and this tiny bit of awareness was like seeing a leopard through a tube.

It magnified people's desire for knowledge infinitely until it really hurt Chu Ning.

Zhang Qishan never hides the evil in his heart. Facing Chu Ning, he could even see how suffocating and ugly his scheming face was.

Chu Ning is like the clearest mirror. While taking in all the kindness, he also reflects the most sticky evil in people's hearts.

So malice is magnified and goodwill is held high.

He was being pulled repeatedly in it until he fell into the whirlpool of an unknown torrent, choking and struggling in pain.

……

"Then continue to keep this secret and don't let the Japanese get ahead."

Zhang Qishan looked up, and the others turned around.

Chu Ning leaned against the door and came quietly without being noticed by anyone.

Er Yuehongban's face frowned. Chu Ning quietly looked away and met several pairs of concerned eyes.

Chu Ning had no choice but to shrink his neck, spread his hands, and act like a rogue.

"I guess the Buddha has woken up. I've been listening for a long time," he said, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet, making small movements continuously.

"It was too cold at the door, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came in.

Just looking at it, it seems to be even colder in this room than outside~"

Chu Ning's eyes darted around, finally stopping on Zhang Qishan's face, and a smile broke out on his face.

Chu Ning raised his paw and waved it childishly, but he still felt it was not enough, so he walked up to Zhang Qishan in the face of everyone's gaze.

Seeing Zhang Qishan's slightly evasive gaze, Chu Ning tilted his head, raised his hand and pressed his palm on Zhang Qishan's brows which had been furrowed for who knows how long.

"Zhang Qishan, why do you still have this expression even though you're already home?

Didn’t I come to find you? It’s not too late this time!

Let me make it clear first, the Second Master scolded you because he loves me, and you can't create any estrangement between you and the Second Master because of this.

And Mr. Ba, the adjutant and Sister Yue, they all treat you well.

What happened in the ancient building was indeed quite shocking to them. Your airtight plan kept it a secret from everyone.

Then let them hate you for a while longer..."

Zhang Qishan was stunned by Chu Ning's chattering, and everyone else was also confused by what he said.

Only Zhang Qishan reacted instantly after being stunned for a moment, with surprise in his eyes.

That dream, the dream that trapped him in the old house, the childish voice and face of the person in the dream gradually overlapped with Chu Ning's.

That’s great, Chu Ning.

It’s good to see you again.

Zhang Qishan was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a pain in his hand. He lowered his head and saw Chu Ning biting his palm directly.

The child has very good teeth, and his two little canines are quite sharp. Zhang Qishan no longer has the frown on his face as if his father has just died again.

A relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After biting it, Chu Ning shook off Zhang Qishan's hand and said "Pooh, Pooh" twice with some disgust.

“In your dream, I said, if you don’t recognize me, I will bite you.

Do you recognize me now?"

"of course."

Chu Ning's bloodless lips curled up even more, and he moved closer to Zhang Qishan again, asking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Is Master Buddha really not curious about that 'secret'?"

The feeling of suspicion rekindled in Zhang Qishan's heart, but this time.

Seeing Chu Ning standing in front of him again, the suspicion was completely eradicated.

"I'm curious, but I can't afford the consequences.

If I want to explore, the only person who will know is myself. At the same time, I will also set up countless mazes to warn future generations.

Getting answers from you would make me look quite useless.”

Chu Ning's eyes lit up. He took a step back, opened his arms and hugged Zhang Qishan.

"Okay~

This is the Buddha I know.

Now, welcome home!"

There is no question of forgiveness or not. Chu Ning was slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Qishan's plan.

But in the carriage, Chu Ning was stunned for a long time as he watched Er Yuehong's heavy back as he left.

In the end, he still came to Zhang Qishan for confirmation. If Zhang Qishan denied it, Chu Ning would have nothing to say.

Chu Ning asked himself if he could do such a thing as to let the people closest to Zhang Qishan "fall apart" because of an outsider like him.

So Chu Ning chose to "seek peace", which was the only thing he could do after he understood everything.

"This! This, this, this, this??" Facing the scene before him, Qi Tiezui grabbed Adjutant Zhang's arm in shock and confusion.

The strong Adjutant Zhang took a deep breath, but he had no time to pay attention to Qi Tiezui. He was also wondering about the development of the situation.

They were still accusing Master Fo just now, but how come the atmosphere of accusation collapsed instantly as Xiao Ning appeared?

Yin Xinyue looked at Er Yuehong, and seeing Er Yuehong's cold face, she shook her head slightly. They were all completely controlled by Chu Ning.

But who wouldn’t feel sorry for a child who is so well-behaved and pretty, and always considers others?

Just as Zhang Qishan was about to raise his hand to respond to Chu Ning's hug, Chu Ning immediately let go, turned around and ran to find Er Yuehong.

Only the back of Zhang Qishan's head was left. Zhang Qishan rubbed his hands awkwardly in the air again and coughed lightly to cover it up.

"Second Master? Second Master~"

The child rubbed his arm with an obedient look on his face, which slightly softened Er Yuehong's cold expression.

I'm not a fool, how could I not understand Chu Ning's good intentions.

The conversation between Chu Ning and Zhang Qishan just now was not between ordinary people, so it would be fine if ordinary people couldn't hear it clearly.

He could even hear the sighs of these people clearly. He just wanted to stand up for the children.

Let Zhang Qishan know that Chu Ning is his and the girl's benefactor, and he must protect her no matter what.

The others must have the same mentality as me.

"You've been feeling very aggrieved during this period of time, right?"

Er Yuehong's gaze fell on Chu Ning's still pale face, and the ice and snow in his eyes melted away, filled with concern.

“I can only influence a small part, and through this incident, I also understand why I came here.

I'm not wronged, I'm very happy to meet you."

Chu Ning looked behind him and said, "It's great to have so many people who care about me."

But I really can’t hold on any longer.

Then, her body softened and she fell into Er Yuehong's arms.

Before closing his eyes, all he saw were the anxious faces of Zhang Qishan, Qi Tiezui, Adjutant Zhang and Yin Xinyue, as well as Er Yuehong's cries in his ears.

"Xiao Ning?!"

(Actually, I can’t continue writing because I don’t want to make Xiao Ning sad anymore.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ning realized that what he wanted was actually very simple. It would be best if everyone was well.

The delay in submitting is so long that you are slapping yourself.)
