Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

After his subordinates brought him breakfast and tea.

Huo Xian'er took the cup and began pouring tea for everyone present.

As Su Mu continued speaking, his gaze unconsciously lingered behind Huo Xian'er, who had her back to him.

The girl's delicate curves have begun to take shape.

Add to that her face, which is exactly the same as Yue Qiluo's in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" from her past life, and Huo Xian'er is indeed very beautiful and spirited.

It was probably in the last two years that Huo Jinxi truly offended Zhang Qishan, was forced to retire, and handed over the family power to Huo Xian'er to manage.

The name Huo Xian'er will also be changed to the title Huo Xiangu.

The name Xian'er always lacks the domineering presence and sharpness that a person in power should possess.

Huo Xiangu was different.

He sounds very capable and competent.

"Have some tea."

Feeling Su Mu's direct gaze lingering behind her, Huo Xian'er, her face flushed, lowered her head and handed the teacup to Su Mu, who was standing by the window.

"Mm." Su Mu smiled and took the teacup.

"Therefore, the real tomb at Biaozi Ridge should be called the Seven Star Lu Palace. As for why it is called the Lu Palace, that's a complicated story. This is all the information I can find right now."

Su Mu didn't want to reveal any more of the secrets he knew as a transmigrator, so he stopped talking.

All he had to do was to stir up these people's interest in the Lu Palace.

"I also know that something that Master Zhang Qishan has been busy with recently is related to an ancient tomb in the Huo family's mine."

Su Mu then changed the subject, steer the conversation towards Huo Jinxi.

Huo Jinxi clenched her hands nervously.

There are some things she doesn't make public.

For example, cooperating with the Toyo Shokai (Oriental Chamber of Commerce).

However, she was unaware that there were tombs within the mine.

"They were digging graves under the mine behind my back?" Huo Jinxi frowned.

Huo Jinxi did not specify who "they" were.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Huo Jinxi might be referring to Buddha Zhang Qishan, or perhaps to a subordinate of the Huo family who manages the mine.

But no one would have guessed that Huo Jinxi was referring to the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

The Toyo Shokai (Eastern Chamber of Commerce) had been in private contact with the Huo family for a long time.

The previous head of the Huo family had already cooperated with the other party to secretly sell antiques and transport them to the island nation in the East.

Su Mu took a sip of tea: "Do you really think all Japanese people are idiots? Can't they see that you're secretly selling antiques at high prices, and they're just foolishly letting you take advantage of them?"

"You, you, what nonsense are you spouting!" Huo Jinxi blurted out in astonishment.

Wu Laogou, Heibei, Lao Liu, and Jie Jiu all shifted their gaze and fixed it on Huo Jinxi.

They were all businessmen who did shady things, so they didn't really have much of a concept of national or personal vendettas.

Let them worry about the chaos outside, as long as they can continue to amass wealth, make money, and have enough to eat, drink, wear, and play with.

However, as people of pure Chinese blood, they would still strongly oppose the foreign Japanese trading companies in terms of what they might do.

They're all called devils, so what good could possibly be among those Japanese?

"Why are you looking at me? Can't you see this kid is talking nonsense? He's just a greenhorn who's never even been to Changsha and has never seen the world. You...you believe what he says?"

Huo Jinxi was anxious to explain, but the more she spoke, the more uncertain she became.

Yes.

Why does Su Mu know so many things? Why has he suddenly become so mature and experienced?

Has he really been biding his time all these years?

Why didn't I have the foresight to discover this talented and arrogant person who was about to achieve great things?

Based solely on the long-standing relationship between the Hoss and Su families.

The secrets that Su Mu just mentioned should have only existed within the Huo family.

Instead of the way it is now, where everyone in the Nine Gates can hear it.

"I was originally thinking about how to invite everyone from the Nine Gates, but I was so lucky to meet everyone at the same time. The reason I opened this shop is very simple."

Next, the shop will display and sell the talismans I've drawn and the pills I've made. You've probably already seen the effects of the talismans; they really work.

Therefore, I hope to use your networks to spread the word and let more people know that there is such a shop here.

Previously, because I was short of money, I would sell talismans and pills for money. Now that I have money, talismans and pills can no longer be bought with money.

I collect all sorts of rare items, antiques, Taoist scriptures, and other cultural relics. If you have any, you are welcome to come and exchange them with me.

Looking at Huo Xian'er's big, watery eyes, which seemed to empathize with Huo Jinxi's grievances, Su Mu skipped over the words he was pointing at Huo Jinxi and began to formally discuss the future management and content of the True Immortal Temple.

Huo Jinxi is a despicable person, but Huo Xian'er is not.

The Huo family is dispensable to Su Mu, but Huo Xian'er must live well.

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

"And another thing," Su Mu paused before adding.

He walked to the table and put down his teacup: "Spread a message for me: the Fourth Master of the Nine Gates, Shui Huang, who harmed my family, will be repaid a hundredfold by a kid named Su Mu. I'm right here. If he wants to mess with me, be ready to fight."

Everyone's gaze sharpened.

This incident surprised and shocked them even more than the previous ones.

Su Mu wants to challenge the Nine Gates Fourth Master Water Locust!

One person challenges a powerful, established force!

"Brother Su, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark," Wu the puppy reminded Su Mu with a hint of worry.

Su Mu shook his head and smiled: "I won't hide. If he dares to come, I dare to fight. In this world, it seems like taking someone's life isn't illegal, right?"

Su Mu looked at Black-backed Old Six and Jie Jiu.

He had witnessed those two murdering people on the street the night before, killing them with such gusto and without any regard for the consequences.

In this chaotic time, human life is more precious than money.

and so……

"You don't need to do anything."

Su Mu raised his hand, suppressing the words and actions that Black-backed Old Six was about to blurt out.

"I won't use any of your people, just me and the ones downstairs."

Su Mu continued speaking.

"Kid, being too arrogant isn't a good thing," Huo Jinxi shook her head.

"Arrogant? Partridge Whistle, come up here." Su Mu called to the Taoist priest downstairs with a smile.

Partridge Whistle walked up the stairs, looked at the unfamiliar crowd, and cupped his hands in greeting to Su Mu: "Young man, what is it?"

"State your name." Su Mu took a few steps back and leaned against the window.

Partridge Whistle nodded: "To pluck stars, one needs the hand of Kui Xing; to move mountains, one must not move Everlasting Victory Mountain; what is burned is Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Incense; what is drunk is the water of the Five Lakes and Four Seas; without Yuan Liang, one can only move firewood on the mountain and light the fire at the foot of the mountain..."

The Nine Gates were renowned figures in the underworld.

At the same time, they also knew about their equally renowned peers in the underworld.

"The Mountain Moving Taoist?"

"The Four Schools of Tomb Raiders?"

"Goodness."

Wu Naigou and the others spoke at the same time, staring wide-eyed at the tall Taoist priest in front of them in disbelief.
