Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

"If I hadn't come back, my old man would have died here."

Black Bear's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "What you're saying, Fourth Master? Your skills are not bad, it's not that bad."

Natural disasters and man-made calamities are more frequent than natural disasters.

Chen Yan took out a cigarette case from his pocket, opened it, pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, while fumbling for a lighter in one hand. He said, "You're one of the people who knows quite a bit about the Nine Gates, don't you understand this?"

As soon as he said this, Hei Xiazi's left hand quietly reached for the dagger at his waist, and his muscles tensed slightly.

Old Nine suddenly turned to look at Black Bear, asking with a hint of curiosity, "I'm curious, why haven't you treated the Gu in your eye? Is it something the Immortal Chang can't cure?"

Hei Xiazi stiffened. Chen Yan tilted his head slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said in an inscrutable tone, "Alright, I'm not interested in the Nine Gates' nonsense. You've been too noisy. Be quiet for a bit."

Black Bear chuckled twice: "Alright."

Hei Xiazi glanced at Lao Jiu, who flashed a mocking smile in his eyes. This made Hei Xiazi understand.

None of these three people are kind; in fact, they know a great deal.

They came prepared.

These four words appeared in Hei Xiazi's mind.

Hei Xiazi remained silent throughout the rest of the journey. The car only stopped and Hei Xiazi was let out after it entered Beijing.

Standing there watching the car drive away, Black Bear clicked his tongue. It seemed Third Master's plan was about to fail.

Wu Sansheng: You blind man! What are you so smug about?!

Upon arriving at the Chen family's gate, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Chen Xi standing at the entrance.

Seeing Chen Yan get out of the car, Chen Xi went up to him, but before he could even speak, Meng Hu stuffed a backpack into his arms.

Not only that, Lao Jiu also shoved a blackened object into his hand.

Chen Xiren was completely bewildered. Wait, what is this thing? What does it mean?

Chen Yan walked past him and went inside. Chen Xi didn't care about anything else and quickly turned around to follow Chen Yan: "Young Master, Fourth Master said you've returned and wants you to see him."

Chen Yan waved his hand: "Take the gift I brought for the old man first, let him eat it first, I'll take a shower and come over."

"Where is my room?"

Chen Xi immediately shouted, "Someone, take the young master to his room."

One of the waiters immediately said, "Young Master, please follow me."

Chen Yan and the other two went to the backyard. Chen Xi looked at the things in his hands. Gifts? To eat? How do you eat this?

After staring at it for a long time, Chen Xi still couldn't figure out what this pitch-black thing was.

Is this stuff meant for the Fourth Master?

Stop joking, okay?!

If Chen Xi hadn't known that the young master was just teasing him on purpose, he would have definitely thought that the young master was going to poison his own father.

Chen Xi, carrying a backpack and holding the burnt human-faced bird, went to the backyard. Chen Pi was lying on a recliner in the backyard with his eyes closed, and a tape recorder was playing opera next to him.

Hearing footsteps, Chen Pi asked without opening his eyes, "Where is everyone?"

"Young Master has gone to wash up. Fourth Master, this..."

Looking at what he was holding, Chen Xi hesitated and said, "This was brought back for you by the young master."

Chen Pi opened his eyes in surprise and saw the backpack in Chen Xi's arms and the things in his hands.

Although he couldn't tell what the dark, gooey thing in his hand was, Chen Pi snorted coldly at the thing still moving in his backpack: "Get rid of it."

Chen Xi responded and turned to leave.

Not long after, Chen Yan took a shower and came back in clean clothes.

He sat down directly in the chair next to Chen Pi, leaned back, and closed his eyes: "Old man, tell me, why didn't you learn some opera from Second Master?"

Chen Pi opened his eyes and said irritably, "If I were to use this voice to sing opera, I'd be ruining his reputation."

Chen Yan laughed and said, "Grandpa, did you see the gift?"

Speaking of this, Chen Pi turned his head to look at Chen Yan's profile: "Why did you bring me that broken bird? Of all the gifts you could have brought, what's the use?"

"Tsk, looks like you don't really like my gift."

Chen Pi withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes: "You saw Wu Sansheng?"

"I saw him."

Where is Wu Xie?

"I saw it too."

"How are you feeling?"

"The Wu family has become quite ambitious and even a bit crazy."

Hearing Chen Yan's assessment, Chen Pi felt relieved and asked, "What are your plans?"

"What's there for me to do? What does it have to do with me?"

Chen Pi said calmly, "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."

Chen Yan replied calmly, "We'll have to see if the sky can crush me if it falls."

Sensing Chen Yan's confidence, Chen Pi knew that this child knew more than he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Chen Pi said, "In that case, the Chen family's sacred tree is entrusted to you. Have your men guard it closely; no one is allowed to touch it."

Chen Yan opened his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "Grandpa, what do you think is hidden under that tree?"

Chen Pi's lips twitched. "Good lad," he thought, opening his eyes and turning his head to look at Chen Yan.

The father and son exchanged a glance, and Chen Pi said, "It seems you do know quite a lot."

Chen Yan smiled calmly: "There's nothing I can do. It seems you don't care much about the people from the Northern School."

Chen Pi sneered, "You don't care about the Northern Faction? Are the three of you even proper members of the Northern Faction?"

"Putting aside the fact that you have blood from both the North and South, just look at your big, clumsy self—you're from Mongolia, aren't you?"

"And that ninth brother, he's obviously not someone to be trifled with."

"Do you really think I'm too old to smell the odor on the three of you?"

Chen Yan laughed: "It seems that Chen Pi Asi's skills are as good as ever."

Chen Pi closed his eyes and said, "Call me father."

"father."

Chen Yan's obedient "Dad" made Chen Pi suddenly open his eyes and look at him: "What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now?"

Chen Yan sat up, raised his hand to pour tea, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Wu Sansheng said that I am not the head of the Chen family and am not worthy to speak to him."

These words enraged Chen Pi, who sat up abruptly. His eyes darkened, and he said in an unfriendly tone, "So, Wu Laosan, you think you're something special? I'm not even dead yet! And you already think you can fly?"

"Ah-Xi!"

Chen Pi turned his head immediately. Chen Xi, who had already returned and was standing at the garden gate, knew what the Fourth Master was going to do when he heard the young master's words.

So when he heard Chen Pi call him, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Fourth Master."

"Go and tell Zhang Rishan that the head of the Chen family has been replaced."

"Yes, I'll go right away."
