Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

"Little Flower Brother".

"Xiuxiu, go back."

Before Xie Yuchen could say anything more, Chen Yan suddenly spoke up: "Miss Huo, why don't you go back and ask your grandmother?"

Huo Xiuxiu looked at Chen Yan with surprise, and even Xie Yuchen looked at him suspiciously. Hei Xiazi, who was standing to the side, remained silent with a sense of helplessness.

After glancing at Chen Yan a few times, Huo Xiuxiu said, "Okay, I'll go back."

Xie Yuchen withdrew his gaze and looked at A Ning, who said, "Okay, I'll only provide supplies, not money."

"I don't lack money."

Ah Ning nodded and looked at Chen Yan, who calmly said, "Tell Jude Kao that the land he just acquired belongs to me."

"Otherwise, forget about getting anything."

Good guy.

Everyone exclaimed, "Wow!"

No, are you taking advantage of the chaos?

Chen Yan didn't think he was being unreasonable at all. He just looked at A Ning, who gritted her teeth and said, "I have to ask the boss."

"Please go ahead."

Ah Ning laughed angrily, "No, this is my tent. Are you telling me to go out?"

Chen Yan got up and walked out of the tent. A Ning glanced at Xie Yuchen and the others. Xie Yuchen placed the porcelain shards in front of A Ning before calling Huo Xiuxiu and leaving.

Seeing that things were not going well, the black bear immediately fled.

Once outside the tent, Xie Yuchen pulled Huo Xiuxiu aside and whispered, "Xiuxiu, when you get back, see if you can get any clues from your grandmother."

"Okay, I understand."

Huo Xiuxiu nodded, turned around, got into the car, and drove away.

Xie Yuchen turned around and saw Chen Yan's figure, then he saw Wu Xie.

"Chen Yan? What are you doing here?"

Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan in surprise. Chen Yan raised an eyebrow at him. Wu Xie asked incredulously, "A Ning can even hire you?"

"He wasn't hired by Ah Ning; he's here to take advantage of the situation."

Wu Xie heard Xie Yuchen's voice from behind. He turned around and saw Xie Yuchen: "Xiao Hua, what are you doing here?"

Xie Yuchen glanced at Chen Yan and said, "Shall we chat?"

Chen Yan shrugged: "Sure."

The three of them found a tent and sat down together. Xie Yuchen said, "Was it really Fourth Grandfather who told you this news?"

Chen Yan smiled but didn't answer. Wu Xie immediately asked, "News? What news?"

Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie and said, "I have a scroll of Lu Huangbo that has helped me unravel some clues and find this place, but I need a map to enter the Queen Mother of the West's Palace."

"As for the route map, the majority of it is in A Ning's hands. I went to Lan Cuo. There are two pieces of porcelain in Lan Cuo. Only when they are put together can the complete route map be formed."

"I originally wanted to get the porcelain shard so that Ah Ning would agree to let me join, but when I got there I found out that he was there. He gave me one shard, but he had the other one."

Wu Xie glanced at Chen Yan and asked, "What did you mean by 'taking advantage of a crisis' just now?"

"He used porcelain shards to blackmail Jude Kao into giving him a piece of land he had just acquired."

"Holy crap! That's brutal?"

Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan, who waved his hand and said, "Business is business. The more Jude Kao needs this, the more I can earn."

"I'm curious, Jude Kao's companies are all in the US, what use would you have for him? Do you have connections in the US too?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "No, but I can sell it now, can't I?"

Wu Xie clicked his tongue in amazement: "Wow, you're getting something for nothing!"

"This proves I'm smart."

Chen Yan spoke without any hesitation, and Xie Yuchen laughed: "If I want to know what else Fourth Grandfather told you, what price do I have to pay?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan. Chen Yan thought for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "Well, if that's what the Xie family says, I've heard that the Xie family's storeroom has quite a few good things."

"Who told you that?"

Xie Yuchen had already begun to ponder in his mind which treacherous branch of the family had exposed it.

I'll kill him when I get back.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Yan said, "Does anyone even need to tell me? It seems the Xie family really has a lot of good stuff."

Xie Yuchen choked for a moment, then said, "Fine, if you answer my question, I'll let you go to the Xie family's storeroom and pick out one."

"One question at a time?"

You're overthinking it.

Xie Yuchen looked calmly at Chen Yan, who shrugged and remained silent.

Wu Xie listened to their conversation but couldn't get a word in edgewise. He had no money, and no possessions...

Two items.

Chen Yan sighed: "Fine, I'll take the loss."

Wu Xie: ...Where exactly did you lose out?

Chen Yan sat in the chair, arms crossed and knees drawn up: "Ask away."

"What exactly are the Nine Gates doing?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "The old man didn't say anything, he just told me to do whatever I wanted, since he's here for me anyway."

Xie Yuchen: ...Other people's fathers support their children. Xie Lianhuan, that deadbeat, died young and didn't even leave any backup plan.

Wu Xie: ........Other people's dads let their kids play freely, but my third uncle is always running around and never gives me a moment's peace!

"They didn't say a single thing about the Nine Gates?"

Chen Yan looked at Xie Yuchen: "What exactly do you want to ask? For example?"

"I can't possibly tell you everything just because my father tells me about his past romantic affairs, can I?"

Xie Yuchen almost laughed out of anger. Who wants to hear how many confidantes a ninety-year-old man has or what his romantic affairs are?

Changing the question, Xie Yuchen looked into Chen Yan's eyes and asked, "What did he tell you about this place?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "The old man told me that if I want to come and have some fun, I can, but I shouldn't go inside. That thing is not good."

Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie's eyes lit up, and Xie Yuchen immediately asked, "What is it? Don't go in there!"

"I don't know."

Chen Yan looked at Xie Yuchen and said, "He only had someone tell me that one sentence."

"Then how did you know the item was in Lantso?"

Wu Xie suddenly asked a question, and Chen Yan turned to look at Wu Xie and said, "A-Xi told me that if I want to play, I can choose Lan Cuo, which has a shop."

"That's it?"

Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan unwillingly, but Chen Yan laughed: "I'm not a child anymore, or do you think I'm an idiot? If you can't even understand this, what are you doing here? Committing suicide?"

Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat disappointed.

It turns out that Chen Yan didn't know what the Nine Gates were doing either.

Chen Yan suddenly said, "Actually..."

Just as Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen were looking at Chen Yan again, Hei Xiazi's voice rang out from outside the tent: "Fourth Master, Boss A Ning is looking for you."

"They're here."

Chen Yan smiled and got up to leave, but Wu Xie quickly asked, "What did you just say?"

Without turning back, Chen Yan left with the words, "Actually, I'm hungry."
