Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

But God favored him, giving him an even more powerful stepfather and a smart and caring mother.

Even after his mother and stepfather passed away, his biological father was able to develop a liking for him at first sight, and was not even sure if he was his own child, yet Chen Pi dared to bring him back to the Chen family as if he were the young master of the family.

Old Nine thought with a touch of melancholy, comparing himself to Chen Yan, his fate was truly...

Oh....

Old Nine chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked away into the distance: "Yes, we will."

After a pause, he said, "I believe you."

Chen Yan smiled and put his arm around Lao Jiu's shoulder: "Don't worry, with your brother here, I'll definitely keep you alive."

Old Nine shoved Chen Yan's arm away impatiently and said, "Come on, I never thought about surviving."

"Tsk, look at you, you're so boring."

Chen Yan chuckled and pressed his palm against Lao Jiu's head, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry. After everything is over, I'll find you a beautiful wife. Then you'll have a wife and kids and a warm bed, and you definitely won't feel lonely anymore."

Old Nine's eyes widened slightly as he turned to look at Chen Yan: "How could you be so vicious?"

"??????"

Am I vicious?

Chen Yan looked at Lao Jiu, who was walking away with his hands clasped, with a blank expression. "No, I'm finding you a wife and spending money to support your family of three, and you still say I'm vicious?"

Are you crazy?

Lao Jiu hasn't thought about love yet. After all, his identity would bring too much trouble. He's still stuck in the mire himself, so why would he want to drag others down with him?

They stayed at the camp for two days, and on the third day, people came from down the mountain.

The man entered the tent and said to Chen Yan, "Master, the Huo family has arrived."

Chen Yan looked at the stock chart on the computer and nodded, saying, "Old Jiu, go over there."

Old Nine, who was sitting to the side drinking tea, exchanged a glance with Fierce Tiger. Old Nine then stood up and said, "I understand. You can go now."

The man turned and left, and Lao Jiu walked outside, soon arriving at the village at the foot of the mountain.

Huo Xiangu was sunbathing, with Huo Xiuxiu standing behind her. A servant from the Huo family came in and said, "Master, the Ninth Master from the Chen family has arrived."

What?

Huo Xiangu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the waiter: "Are you talking about the young man next to Chen Yan?"

"Yes, Master."

Huo Xiangu's eyes flickered uncertainly. What was going on? What was Chen Yan trying to do?

"Okay, let them in."

After the waiter turned around, Huo Xiuxiu asked, puzzled, "Grandma, why is Patriarch Chen here?"

Huo Xiangu replied calmly, "You'll see when you see it."

After Lao Jiu followed the waiter in, he stood in front of Huo Xiangu and nodded slightly: "Good afternoon, Master Huo."

Huo Xiangu raised an eyebrow and looked at Lao Jiu with interest: "Patriarch Chen has caught me off guard. I didn't know that the Chen family had this idea."

Looking at Huo Xiangu, Lao Jiu said without changing his expression, "Master Huo, Jude Kao is dead. If you wait for him, I'm afraid you won't live to see him again."

"If you want to go up the mountain, cooperation is the only way."

Huo Xiangu glanced at her with a slight movement in her eyes: "You've got some nerve, daring to talk to me like that."

The Ninth Master said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Master Huo is too kind. Fourth Master also said the same thing."

Huo Xiangu narrowed her eyes. None of the people around Chen Yan were simple.

the most important is.

Looking at the Ninth Prince, Huo Xiangu suddenly said, "I never expected this. No wonder Chen Pi has been so adamant about not arranging a young master for the family. It turns out he's been secretly raising his only child behind the Chen family's back."

"Look, everyone around me has been trained well."

Upon hearing this, Lao Jiu remained unmoved, calmly looking at Huo Xiangu with a serene tone: "Master Huo should think about how to get up the mountain."

"The joint operation of the Huo and Xie families has consumed so much manpower and resources; they certainly don't want to just have a one-day trip here."

Huo Xiuxiu frowned. She was thinking that this ninth brother wasn't even as polite as Chen Yan.

However, Huo Xiangu slowly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, let's go. This old woman needs to see Patriarch Chen to confirm the details of the cooperation."

Old Nine stepped aside to make way: "Please."

Huo Xiangu led Huo Xiuxiu and the Huo family's servants up the mountain.

We arrived at the camp.

Huo Xiangu entered the tent. Inside the tent were only Chen Yan, Lao Jiu, Meng Hu, Huo Xiangu, and Huo Xiuxiu.

Chen Yan looked at Huo Xiangu and said, "Fierce Tiger, serve tea to Master Huo."

Meng Hu immediately picked up the teapot and poured tea for Huo Xiangu, and also poured a cup for Huo Xiuxiu, and put it in her hand.

Huo Xiuxiu stood behind Huo Xiangu, holding her teacup with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Old Jiu's heart ached so much watching this; my tea!!!

You stupid tiger!!!

Seeing Lao Jiu looking at the teapot with a pained expression, Huo Xiangu asked in surprise, "Patriarch Chen, are you not spending money on your own people? How can you be so stingy with just a pot of tea?"

Old Ninth, with a stern face, looked at Huo Xiangu and said, word by word, "Master Huo, would you like to try this tea?"

Ok?

Huo Xiangu lowered her eyes to look at the tea leaves in the teacup.

The tea soup is yellowish-green and has a full and delicate texture.

Huo Xiangu's eyelids twitched. She picked up the teacup and sniffed it. There was a distinct floral and fruity aroma. Huo Xiangu made up her mind about this tea and took a small sip.

It has a rich and sweet flavor that melts in your mouth, and a quick and lasting sweet aftertaste.

Setting down her teacup, Huo Xiangu smiled and looked at Lao Jiu: "No wonder you looked so distressed. I didn't expect Patriarch Chen to be such a connoisseur of tea."

Chen Yan, sitting opposite him, waved his hand and said, "This tea is Lao Jiu's. I was in a hurry to leave this time, so I didn't bring any cheaper tea. If Master Huo likes it, please have a few more cups."

Huo Xiuxiu, who was behind Huo Xiangu, secretly took a sip. She could only tell that it was good tea, but she couldn't tell how good it was.

Just as she was wondering if the tea was very expensive, Huo Xiangu spoke up: "Yibang tea, ancient tree tea leaves are worth 2000-40000 per gram, it is indeed a good tea."

"The aftertaste of your tea is so quick and long-lasting; it must be from one of the top-quality teas."

"No wonder you're so distressed; I'm the one who benefited this time."

Old Nine then dropped the look on his face that suggested he didn't appreciate Huo Xiangu's work, glanced at the teacup, and said, "I'm glad Master Huo likes it."

Huo Xiangu was extremely curious about these three people.

Where did Chen Yan get his team? Did Chen Pi deliberately hide this kid and only come out to cause trouble now? What is the reason that Chen Yan is so confident?

Huo Xiangu hadn't taken this man called Lao Jiu seriously before, but upon seeing him today, she knew he was no ordinary person just by looking at the tea in his hand.
