Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Watching Chen Yan leave, Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen, who stared intently out of the tent and said, "Don't ask anymore, he did it on purpose."

"What I don't understand is, if the Nine Gates can't tell us what they're doing, then how does Chen Yan know?"

"Where did he find that information?"

"Or rather, why did Chenpi tell him?"

Wu Xie thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Xiao Hua, could it be because he's considered a second-generation rich kid?"

"Second generation?"

Xie Yuchen was taken aback and looked at Wu Xie: "You mean?"

Wu Xie wasn't sure if his idea was right, but he still said, "Could it be that the first generation of the Nine Gates was doing something, but couldn't finish it, so they handed it over to the second generation?"

"Chen Yan is a second-generation heir. Chen Pi didn't have any children before, but now that he's back, he naturally told him."

Looking at Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen considered this possibility in his mind.

"But what exactly are the Nine Gates doing? Why isn't the first generation enough, and why do they need the second generation to do it?"

Xie Yuchen didn't think Wu Xie was right, but apart from the reason about the second generation that Wu Xie mentioned, they really had no clue.

So I simply went along with what Wu Xie said.

Upon arriving at A Ning's tent, Chen Yan looked at A Ning without speaking. A Ning looked at him and said, "The boss has agreed. You arrange for someone to take over."

Chen Yan nodded: "Okay, let me use the phone."

Ah Ning handed the satellite phone to Chen Yan, who dialed a number. The call was answered shortly: "Who is this?"

"Jude Kao gave me a piece of land. You can arrange for someone to take it over and sell it directly."

Ah Ning, who was listening nearby, twitched her eyelids. "A gift for you? You sold it right away?"

Is this meant to be sold to the boss, profiting from both sides?

Ah Ning couldn't help but look at Chen Yan with surprise. After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan glanced at Ah Ning and asked, "Miss Ah Ning, do you have something to say?"

Ah Ning shook her head. Forget it, the boss is paying anyway, what can she say?

Given that this madman managed to pull out explosives to blow up the snow mountain last time, she'd better avoid getting involved.

Chen Yan sat down, took out a cigarette, and caught a glimpse of A Ning out of the corner of his eye. He paused, then put his hand back.

However, Ah Ning saw it and said, "I don't mind."

Ah Ning was actually very curious about Chen Yan. You know, Chen Pi was so old, and there had never been any news about him having a son.

Suddenly, a biological son appeared, and as soon as he returned to the Chen family, Chen Pi immediately abdicated.

This was something no one expected.

After all, the fact that Chen Pi was still the head of the Chen family at the age of ninety-three and had not appointed a young head of the family shows that he looked down on anyone who was not a descendant of the Chen family. He would rather die and let the Chen family fight amongst themselves than appoint a new head of the family.

They value the position of head of the family very much.

No one expected that not only would a biological son suddenly appear, but Chen Pi would also so readily relinquish power.

If Chen Pi hadn't already known that his own son would return to succeed him, and hadn't been supporting the Chen family for his sake, then this son was so outstanding that Chen Pi was willing to hand over the reins to him.

of course.

Ah Ning was initially just curious, but after meeting Chen Yan in Changbai Mountain, she knew that this son was definitely her biological son.

Putting aside the arrogant temperament and face that are exactly the same as Chen Pi's, just looking at this haughty personality, he is obviously Chen Pi's own son.

but.

To say that he was arrogant and haughty would be a bit of an exaggeration for A Ning. In her opinion, although Chen Yan was like Chen Pi, he didn't have Chen Pi's arrogant and disrespectful personality.

Chen Yan is much gentler than Chen Pi.

A person who considers women even when smoking doesn't seem like a really bad person to Ah Ning.

Chen Yan glanced at A Ning and said, "Oh, it's nothing."

As he spoke, Chen Yan put the cigarette case away. A Ning looked at Chen Yan with curiosity and a look of inquiry in her eyes.

Soon, the phone rang.

After Chen Yan answered the phone, he heard Lao Jiu's words and then hung up after saying "hmm".

He pulled a shard of porcelain from his pocket: "Miss Ning, the transaction is complete."

He placed the porcelain shard in front of A Ning, turned and left. A Ning picked up the shard, glanced thoughtfully at Chen Yan, and then got up and crawled out of the tent.

They immediately went to find Dingzhu Zhuoma.

By this time, it had already gotten dark outside.

In the dark desert, the temperature plummeted. Chen Yan walked to a secluded spot, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and stared into the distance.

Meteorite.....

"Chen Yan."

Chen Yan snapped out of his thoughts, turned to look at Xie Yuchen standing not far away, extinguished his cigarette, and asked, "Is there anything else, Patriarch Xie?"

Xie Yuchen looked at Chen Yan, took two steps closer, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid?"

Chen Yan was taken aback, then turned to look at Xie Yuchen: "What am I afraid of?"

Xie Yuchen looked into the distance and said, "Zhang Qiling protected almost all the tombs Wu Xie had dug before, while I haven't dug many tombs at all."

"You're younger than us, and you just got back. Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

Chen Yan laughed upon hearing this. Xie Yuchen looked at Chen Yan's profile, puzzled, not understanding what he was laughing at.

Of course, Chen Yan knew that Xie Yuchen hadn't come to advise him; he had come to test him.

To find out what he's here for, what else he knows, and why he came alone without even a waiter.

"Isn't Patriarch Xie also just a person?"

"But I still have Wu Xie and the others. Even without Wu Xie and the others, I have managed the Xie family for so many years and served as the head of the family for so many years. The Wu family and the Xie family are related by marriage. Wu Sansheng will not watch me die."

"I can also hire a black bear."

Chen Yan grunted but didn't speak. Xie Yuchen was a little disappointed; he hadn't been able to get any information out of him after all...

A gentle breeze blew by, causing Chen Yan's clothes to flutter slightly, and at the same time, a faint smell of tobacco entered Xie Yuchen's nostrils.

Chen Yan glanced at Xie Yuchen and said, "Patriarch Xie, if there's nothing else, you should get some rest."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but then stopped and said softly, "You're an eight-year-old young master, but I was already playing with a gun in the rainforest when I was three."

After Chen Yan left, Xie Yuchen frowned, looked back at Chen Yan's back, and went into the tent.

A three-year-old playing with a gun in the rainforest?

How exactly did Chen Yan grow up?

Given how harsh his upbringing was, why didn't Chen Pi try to find him?

Did Chenpi not want to find him? Or had he simply not found him?

Just as Xie Yuchen was pondering this question, Wu Xie arrived.

"Little Flower? What are you thinking about?"

Wu Xie looked at him and said, "Come on, let's go get something to eat and get some rest. We're leaving tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go."

The two sat down by the campfire; Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling were both sitting there.
