The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 327 - 276: Midnight Conversation

The news that Chen Qinghan brought back was that the Watermelon Cutting organization in Sakura had nothing to do with He Su.

This doesn’t surprise me. The Watermelon Cutting had a leaderless period and once split into several factions. Those like Bai Yun who didn’t fit in and couldn’t band together to resist had to find a new leader and depend on the strong. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The leader of this ’watermelon’ in Sakura is not one of our clan members, and Chen Qinghan suspects there’s a mastermind behind him.

This needs to be interrogated to find out, but one thing he can be sure of is that the Sakura Watermelon organization is searching for the weapon left by our clan.

They know that all powerful weapons belong to the strong within our clan, and unless there’s a special case, weapons will accompany the strong in burial.

This was our clan’s custom in Ancient times, so we rebellious descendants would go grave robbing.

But in our generation, few adhere to this custom. The weapons of the strong are made public after their death and redistributed to others.

Karmic Fire is an exception. It only recognizes me, others can’t wield it, so when I was buried, they hid it away.

The location is inconsequential because the facts prove that distance does not limit its determination to find its master.

Those who hid it behind the mysterious door thought the place was dangerous, hence the safest. When I woke up, I would never have guessed that my weapon was hidden nearby, instead of searching it outside.

Were it not for Boss Lu’s ’help,’ I might never have realized Karmic Fire was in the snow mountain.

"So, what’s your plan?" Chen Qinghan suddenly asked.

He seemed to have said something else just now, but I was lost in reminiscing and didn’t listen carefully, feeling confused by his question.

"What plan?" I asked guiltily.

"I’m asking you."

"I don’t know! Oh, I’m going to open a breakfast store."

"An Xi."

Uh-oh, Chen Qinghan called my real name. I roared internally, and looking at his serious face, it seems he sensed something.

"Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to those few sentences just now." I straightened my attitude and admitted my mistake sincerely.

"You’re going to open a breakfast store?"

"Yeah."

Chen Qinghan’s bright eyes stared at me, and the theme song of Black Cat Sheriff immediately floated into my mind.

"How long will it be open?"

"Well... hard to say, good business means it’ll stay open, bad business means... it won’t be open?"

"Just you?"

"No, I’m funding it, while a fellow clansman is working on it. She and her Tool Man were brought over by me from elsewhere, quite capable!"

Seeing Chen Qinghan’s expression soften slightly, I quickly reported my trip experiences, though I didn’t know why his grumpy mode activated. But he suspects me, my intuition tells me so.

I believe there’s nothing that cannot be spoken of! Bad things or embarrassing events can be told to the outside world, offering a venue for a Tool Man to practice medicine without a license, scaring stray cats and getting blamed by netizens...

"She just agreed to sell baozi with you?" After hearing my story, Chen Qinghan asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, no, not baozi, it’s stuffed egg pancake."

"Did it even cross your mind that she might be an undercover sent by the opposing side, with Black Iron as merely a ruse?"

"Uh... undercover at a breakfast store? Steal commercial secrets?"

"No, it’s undercover to get close to you! Are you the top dangerous figure of your clan?"

"Maybe..." I was quite confident initially, but Chen Qinghan’s question made me unsure. What he said could be possible, though I hadn’t thought of it that way.

"Forget it, whether you’re pretending to be dumb or genuinely so, I’ll bet."

"Hey? Come on, I’m not dumb, nor pretending! Stop calling me names in disguise!"

"If you’re not dumb, then remember to watch out in any situation."

"Actually... I don’t have any secrets. It doesn’t matter how many spies they plant, it’s useless. Now I’ve been transferred to the archives, living like in seclusion unless..."

"Their goal is to kill you or seize your power." Chen Qinghan spoke for me.

I remembered the phrase He Su shouted when ’reviving.’ If Inosi’s aim is to seize the power of the clan’s strong, then surely I’d be on the list.

But I’m imprisoned in the Tomb Prison, if they want to find me, it might be impossible.

Or maybe they’re not ready yet, so haven’t made a move. Regardless of which situation, once they know I’m out, they’ll definitely seize the chance.

"Relax, I’ve survived many assassinations. Besides, now I have a way to restore energy." I pulled out a ginseng from my pocket and waved it.

For a moment, I felt Chen Qinghan wanted to strangle me. Was his menopause coming early because of a trip to Sakura?
