Tomb Raider: Family Eternal, Start with Swallowed Stars

“”Patriarch, there are three people outside the door who call themselves Hubayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Wang Yueban. They say they are your old acquaintances and want to get to know you.”

In the middle courtyard, Chu Huang was leisurely sipping the tea brewed by Huo Youxue. At this moment, a servant came to report.

“oh?”

“Hubayi, Wang Kaixuan and Wang Yueban?”

“Why are the three of them here?”

Chu Huang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, a little surprised. Why did these three people suddenly come to see him for no reason?

Could it be because of the Jingjue Ancient City?

Although he was confused, Chu Huang did not think much about it, and nodded and said:”Go and invite them to the main hall, I will be there later.”

“”Yes, Patriarch!”

The servant nodded respectfully and turned away.

“”Clan leader, it is rumored that Hubayi and Wang Kaixuan are tomb raiders and have joined your army, but now it seems that is not the case.”

Huo Youxue said with a smile as she elegantly lifted the teapot and added a cup of tea to Chu Huang.

“Heh… He is indeed a tomb raider, but people have misjudged him for joining the Chu family.”

Chu Huang shook his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“If the clan leader’s words were to spread, I’m afraid the two tomb raiders would not survive for a few days and would die at the hands of the Huanghe Ding family.”

“After all, the Yellow River Ding Family had mistaken them for the clan leader’s men, so they had never dared to take action against them.”

Hearing what Huo Youxue said, Chu Huang couldn’t help but smile, and then said,”The Yellow River Ding Family can’t kill these two people. After all, they are tomb raiders, and they are not ordinary people.”

“Oh? If they are valued so much by the clan leader, why doesn’t the clan leader take them into the family’s death squad?”

Huo Youxue asked in confusion.

“Because they are of no use to me.”

Chu Huang slowly put down the teacup, then stood up and said softly:”I’m going to meet them, you don’t have to follow me”

“”Yes, clan leader!”

Chu Huang put his hands behind his back and walked towards the main hall, thinking secretly in his heart.

Although he looked down on Hubayi and Wang Kaixuan, these two guys were indeed not ordinary people.

If they wanted to kill the two of them, unless the Chu family took action personally, other forces might not succeed. At most, they would make the two of them suffer a little.

After all, they are the protagonists of destiny and have good luck. If they were so easy to die, they would have died in the tomb long ago.

With great luck, at least within a certain timeline, these two people cannot be killed easily.

Of course, if the Chu family took action personally, what would happen if they were the protagonists of destiny?

They deserved to die.

However, whether the Chu family had any grudges with them or not, they would not do this for no reason.

This time, Hubayi and his men came to find them, probably because they had something to do with the Jingjue Ancient City. Regarding this big tomb, Chu Huang had no interest in it before.

But now the family is on the right track, and there are people in charge of the business everywhere. He has nothing to do except practicing every day. It’s not bad to go and rob tombs when he’s free.

However, even if he wants to go, he won’t go with Huba and others.

No other reason! It’s just too troublesome.

The archaeological team is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people. They go up the snow-capped mountains and into the desert. They are unaware of all the dangerous things and even feel justified.

This kind of people, being with them will only drag himself down, and even make him become a nanny, and he has to take care of everything for them. Chu Huang is not sick, so why should he suffer this?

What’s more, his Chu family has people and money. If he has to go, why can’t he gather people by himself?

“Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the mission, robbing the ancient city of Jingjue. This mission consists of two stages.

The first stage is to rob the Kunlun Nine-story Demon Tower. If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with 10,000 points.

The second stage is to rob the ancient city of Jingjue. If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with 10,000 points.”

Suddenly, at this moment, the voice of the system suddenly rang in his mind.

“Tsk… the tomb-robbing mission has really been triggered, but this mission is actually divided into two stages, and each stage can get 10,000 points.

Once all the tasks are successfully completed, 20,000 points can be obtained.

If the various things in the Nine-story Demon Tower and the Jingjue Ancient City are added, I am afraid that the points that can be obtained this time will never be lower than the last Western Zhou and Warring States tombs, and may even be more.”

Chu Huang’s mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile.

It seems that in order to earn points, he has to go to the Jingjue Ancient City.

But again, even if he wants to go, he will go by himself. He is not so stupid as to ask him to be a nanny.

……

At this time, in the main hall of the Chu Mansion, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others had been welcomed in.

“Please take a seat, my family leader will be here soon.

A pretty girl who looked like a girl next door smiled and said to everyone.

Then she turned and left.

“Wow, this Chu clan leader really knows how to enjoy life. When we came in earlier, we walked through the long corridor, saw the rockery, ponds, pavilions, and the magnificent main hall in front of us.

Such a big house, and there are beautiful maids serving us at any time.

Our Chu clan leader lives here every day, and this kind of life is really as happy as a god.”

Wang Kai looked left and right, looked around carefully, his face full of envy.

“Okay, Fatty, hurry up and sit down, don’t let others laugh at you.”

Seeing that his childhood friend was starting to act out of tune again, Huba immediately frowned and said,

“”I say, cousin, if you are envious, just say it directly. Why are you talking so much?” Wang Yueban on the side said jokingly with a funny face.

To be honest, not to mention his cousin, he himself is also very envious.

It’s a pity that ��Huang is unwilling to accept him, otherwise he would have knelt down and surrendered long ago and died for the Chu family.

At this time, several beautiful maids came over with tea.

“The guests, please have some tea first. The clan leader will be here soon.”

After leaving a message, the maid left again.

The few people drank tea and chatted, but Professor Chen and his friends were getting more and more nervous. Would someone who was not short of money and had a strong background really be persuaded by them to go to the Jingjue Ancient City?

Even Shirley Yang, the daughter of a Wall Street tycoon, no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“”Everyone, long time no see!”

Just then, a chuckle came from outside the hall, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw a man in a retro long gown, smiling and walking towards them.

The man had a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a nose like a gallbladder, and an excellent temperament. There was a hint of majesty when he walked.

Just by looking at him, Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo couldn’t help but sigh, how could there be such a strange man in the world? []

Shirley Yang on the side was even more stunned. Since returning to China, this was the first time she had seen a young man with such temperament and handsome appearance.

Even the descendants of the chaebols in the Lighthouse Country and the nobles in Europe were far inferior to this man.

“Brother Chu Huang, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You seem to be even more handsome. Fatty, I miss you even more.”

At this time, Wang Yueban was the first to come to his senses. He stood up with a flattering look on his face and began to flatter Chu Huang.

Hearing this, a group of people in the main hall couldn’t help but feel a chill.

“Come on, Fatty Wang, why are you here for no reason?”

Chu Huang glared at him unhappily and scolded him with a smile.

“Brother Chu Huang, I am not the one looking for you. It is my cousin, his childhood friend, and the people from the archaeological team who are looking for you.”

Wang Yueban smiled and shook his head, signaling to the people next to him.

“”Heh…Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, we haven’t seen each other for a few months.”

Chu Huang smiled faintly and set his eyes on Hu and Fatty next to him.

“Chief Chu, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You look even more elegant than before. Please forgive me for coming to visit you today.”

Huba stood up, bowed to Chu Huang, and said with a wry smile.

Wang Kaixuan, who was standing by, followed suit and said with a smile,”Chief Chu, it has been several months since we first met. Now I know that you actually have such a big family business. I really admire you very much……….”

“Thank you for the compliment. I wonder who these three are.……”

Chu Huang laughed, then glanced at Professor Chen and the other two beside him, and asked with a puzzled look:

“Hello, Chief Chu. My last name is Chen. They all call me Professor Chen. I am currently working at the Kyoto Archaeological Institute. This is my student Hao Aiguo.

Professor Chen stood up and introduced himself first, then Hao Aiguo next to him.

However, just as he was about to introduce Shirley Yang, he was interrupted by Shirley Yang.

“”Mr. Chu, my name is Shirley Yang. I came to your house mainly to seek help.”

Shirley Yang was anxious and didn’t beat around the bush. She directly stated her purpose.

“help?”

“I wonder what Miss Yang wants?”

Chu Huang smiled faintly when he heard this, then walked slowly to the ironing board on the main seat and asked with interest.

“Mr. Chu, how much do you know about the Jingjue Ancient City?”

Shirley Yang asked seriously with a serious look on her face.

“Ancient Jingjue City?”

Chu Huang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then nodded slowly:”In the past, the 36 countries in the Western Regions were extremely prosperous. Among them, there was one called Jingjue. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, it disappeared overnight.

Is the Ancient Jingjue City that Miss Yang mentioned the ancient Jingjue Kingdom?”

“That’s right, it seems that Mr. Chu does know a lot about the Ancient City of Jingjue. My father loved adventure all his life. Once, he was going to the desert to look for the lost Ancient City of Jingjue, but since then, he has completely disappeared without a trace.

I’m afraid he has already been buried in the Ancient City of Jingjue. As a daughter, how can I let my father’s body not return home?

So this time, Shirley wants to ask Mr. Chu for help and take us to the Ancient City of Jingjue. If Mr. Chu is willing to help, no matter how much it costs, Shirley will not hesitate.”

Listening to what Shirley Yang said, Chu Huang couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Shirley Yang’s style of doing things is neat and tidy, her temper is straightforward, and even her appearance and figure are top-notch.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she directly stated her purpose and request.

However, he was destined to disappoint the other party.

“Miss Yang, do you want me to join your archaeological team and go together to look for the ancient city of Jingjue?

Haha… Miss Yang, although I deeply sympathize with your plight, I am afraid that I can’t do anything about joining the archaeological team and looking for the ancient city of Jingjue.”

Chu Huang shook his head and rejected the other party without any hesitation.

“Mr. Chu, I am willing to pay a lot of money. If you can help me find the Jingjue Ancient City, even if it is a million or ten million US dollars, I will never break my promise.”

“”Ms. Yang, do you think I’m the kind of person who needs money? You should go back and join the archaeological team to help you find the ancient city of Jingjue. You should find someone else.”

Chu Huang shook his head and said.

Seeing Chu Huang’s serious face and refusing again, Shirley Yang was extremely anxious, and her expression was extremely lost and frustrated.

“Since Mr. Chu is unwilling to help, I will take my leave.”

Said Shirley Yang, she stood up and walked out.

“Shirley! Shirley……”

Seeing Shirley Yang hurried away, Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo immediately shouted anxiously.

But the other party turned a deaf ear and left directly.

This made Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo look embarrassed.

“”Don’t blame me, Chief Chu. Shirley is just eager to save her father, so she did this. Then we will go back first. Goodbye!”

Professor Chen and the other man turned around and left in a hurry.

“Well, this is a complete breakdown of the negotiations.”

Looking at what just happened, Wang Yueban couldn’t help but shook his head and sighed.

“Ahem… Thank you, Chief Chu, for today. We have other things to do, so we have to leave first.”

“Goodbye!”

“……”
