Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

"Since he's not an idiot, he wouldn't want to sow discord between the Wu family's only child and the Wu family."

"So Third Master's guess is wrong."

"Either Chen Yan has a grudge against your third uncle and is deliberately trying to cause trouble for you, or there is indeed a smell on you that ordinary people can't detect."

"A smell that ordinary people can't detect?"

"right."

Xie Yuchen said, "If you really have a smell, and neither you nor I can smell it, then why is Chen Yan able to smell it?"

"And judging from what you just said, all three of them could smell it."

"This means they are definitely not ordinary people. Wu Xie, you need to know one thing: in the animal kingdom, many animals have a sense of smell that is several times or even dozens of times more sensitive than that of humans."

"I suspect that if you're really unlucky and it's not a problem with your genes, then it's because you have some kind of scent on you that ordinary humans can't detect, but the things in the tomb can."

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie and asked, "Would you like me to have you given a full medical checkup?"

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, no rush. We'll see later. If we're really unlucky and still can't find the cause, we can get it checked again later."

Xie Yuchen nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "Wu Xie, I have a meeting to attend. If you need anything, come to the Xie family to find me."

"I have to go now."

"Okay, you can go now."

Xie Yuchen nodded, got up and left, but stopped after taking two steps. He turned back to look at Wu Xie, who was still sniffing himself to see if he had any scent. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Wu Xie."

"what?"

Wu Xie looked up at Xie Yuchen, who said, "If it's convenient, come to the Xie family later. I have something to tell you."

"Is it important?"

"It's very important. It's related to the Nine Gates, and it's very likely also related to your third uncle."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie immediately said with a serious expression, "Then I'll go with you now."

"Third Master, over here?"

"It's okay, Fatty's here."

Xie Yuchen nodded: "Alright then, come with me."

The two left the hospital together and got into the car to go to Xie's house. After arriving at Xie's house, Xie Yuchen got out of the car and said, "Wu Xie, I have a meeting. I'll have someone arrange a room for you first. You can rest for a bit."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll wait."

Xie Yuchen asked Xie Da to settle Wu Xie in, and then went to the study.

On the other side...

After returning to the Chen family home, Chen Yan acted as if nothing had happened, calmly sitting next to the artificial hill and feeding the fish.

Old Jiu came over carrying an account book and stood in front of Chen Yan, saying, "Brother Yan, all the account books have been sorted out."

"Excluding Fourth Master's family, almost all of the Chen family's branches are in a state of loss."

"We recovered a lot of things that Chen Jinshui had taken."

"Okay, distribute Chen Jinshui's portion."

Chen Yan scattered some fish food and, watching the fish scrambling for it, said, "Tell them to behave, and I don't mind letting them live."

"But if you cause me trouble, you should wash your neck clean and find a place to hang yourself, before I have to do it."

"I see."

Old Nine turned and left. Chen Haisheng, standing to the side, looked at Chen Yan, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Yan didn't turn around, and asked directly, "Are you asking me why I would give such a large sum of money to a collateral branch?"

Chen Haisheng hummed in agreement, and Chen Yan said indifferently, "I'm not short of money. After all, they are the children of the old master's apprentice."

"They're obedient, so I don't need to kill them all. After all, they've killed quite a few people over the years."

"The old man is generous, and I am naturally generous too."

Chen Haisheng was speechless. Chen Pi had so many disciples, but you've killed so many that you only have less than five left. And there are even more of their children. You've killed less than ten people so far.

You're telling me you're magnanimous?

I really don't see what's so magnanimous about you. I seriously suspect that you're not eliminating dissidents, you just don't want to pay to support them.

Just then, Lao Jiu suddenly strode over and said to Chen Yan, "Brother Yan, the Xie family member went back with Wu Xie."

Chen Yan paused, "The Xie family?"

"Jie Yuchen".

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Chen Yan's face: "Interesting, Ninth Brother, do you like listening to opera?"

"good."

"Go and post a message saying that the Chen family head wants to hear the Xie family head's performance."

"A good performance will be rewarded."

The word "reward" carried a heavy weight, and Chen Haisheng always felt that Chen Yan had gone mad.

The Wang family must be completely baffled lately, they can't understand what Chen Yan is doing at all.

The Chen family is already a solid block, oh no, there's still a gap left, and I am that gap.

Old Nine turned and left, while Chen Haisheng remained silent, his eyes downcast.

Chen Yan casually placed the bowl of fish food aside, stood up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "You stay."

"Yes, Master."

Chen Haisheng was not surprised at all, after all, he used to be a member of the Wang family, and Chen Yan would not bring him along.

Just as Xie Yuchen finished dealing with his business and was about to go find Wu Xie, Xie Da suddenly walked in, looking at Xie Yuchen with a frown and an unhappy expression on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Patriarch, that new patriarch of the Chen family is going too far."

He then placed the invitation in front of Xie Yuchen and said, "Take a look."

Xie Yuchen opened the post with great interest and immediately saw the words on it. His eyes narrowed instantly as he focused on the reward.

After a long while, Xie Yuchen put down the invitation in his hand, and Xie Da said, "Patriarch, I'll have someone throw the Chen family members out."

"No, tell the Chen family that I'm waiting for the head of the Chen family to come to our door."

Xie Yuchen, however, calmly said, "At the same time, tell the Chen family to go back and tell their patriarch that if the reward isn't enough, they shouldn't cause trouble."

Xie Da immediately said excitedly, "I'll go right now."

In Xie Da's eyes, this was an insult to Xie Yuchen, the head of the Xie family.

Furthermore, Xie Yuchen is Er Yuehong's junior apprentice. Do you, Chen Yan, really think that just because you've become the head of the Chen family, you can sit on equal footing with our family head?

According to seniority, you should call him "little uncle"!

So, with your promiscuous behavior, are you deliberately here to cause trouble?

The Xie family isn't all dead yet!

Xie Yuchen knew about Xie Da's anger, but he didn't care.

What Xie Yuchen cared about was what Chen Yan was trying to do.

Like Wu Xie, he always felt that this person had a somewhat sinister side.

Thinking about it, Xie Yuchen got up and went to the backyard. Wu Xie did not rest in the room, but sat in the backyard drinking tea, thinking about what was going on.

And what exactly did Xiaohua want to say to him?
