Chapter Sixteen: Confrontation (Part One)

  After finishing that sentence, Xia Yunfei had already quietly moved a bit, adjusting herself to an angle that was convenient for both offense and defense. As for Fang Chenye, she wouldn't be leaving any room for him anymore. Xia Yunfei often said that she was someone who never held grudges, because usually when she had one, she would settle it on the spot.

  Fang Chenye, standing in the middle of the tomb, slowly turned around after hearing her words, with only a flash of surprise on his face. After the surprise faded away, Fang Chenye's face wore an almost sincere smile, his tone as sweet and sticky as poison mixed with honey: "Look who's here, shouldn't we give them a warm welcome?"

  Xia Yifei cast a silent glance at the remaining three people in the tomb, and as expected, all of them were holding guns. She said something softly, so softly that Fang Ying, who was standing close to her, could only vaguely make out what she had said: "Tsk, indeed there are guns, a bit troublesome."

  As Fang Chenye applauded a few times, Xia Yunfei unexpectedly put his short knife back into his sleeve with an air of nonchalance, walked a few steps forward with his hands clasped in front of him, and said in a calm tone with a hint of jest: "Boss Fang is indeed a noble person who forgets things easily. It's only been so long since we landed, and you've already forgotten about me? This really hurts my feelings."

  Fang Chen walked down from the high platform that had risen in the middle, as if he was walking down from a throne: "I dare not, I dare not, who can forget that Xia Gui's hand is not?"

  "This sounds good, but Mr. Fang's actions are really not decent."

  As soon as the words came out, Fang Ying and Xia Zezhao, who were standing behind her, both broke out in a cold sweat. Fang Ying had already grasped the spring knife, waiting for Fang Chenyu to change his face before seizing the initiative.

  But Fang Chenye didn't get angry, instead he laughed even more heartily: "What does this sentence of Xia Gui Shou mean? Are you a philanthropist or something, every time you go down to the field, you're always taking care of everyone on the team?"

  "Boss Fang really overestimates me, I'm just a greedy rustic scholar. The saying 'people die for wealth and birds die for food' shouldn't be unfamiliar to Boss Fang, right?"

  On the one hand, she was practicing Tai Chi with Fang Chenye, while on the other hand, she was secretly ridiculing him in her heart. Should she say that he didn't understand himself well enough or should she say that Fang Chenye was too confident in his own eloquence? Since he chose this way, she could only accompany him to the end.

  And she also changed from the initial pose of hugging her chest with both hands to a casual pose with one hand inserted in her pocket and the other hand hanging loosely by her side. The hand hanging by her side was actually giving hand signals to Fang Yinghe and Xia Zhaoshao behind her back.

  Fang Chenye was no longer the person he used to be, and Xia Yunfei had basically confirmed this through their brief exchanges.

  Although she connected with Fang Chenye sentence by sentence very quickly, each sentence was actually thought over many times in her mind, and a most stable way of speaking was chosen.

  Xia Yifei knew that even if she could directly rush up and fight with Fang Chenye and the three people he brought, she couldn't risk taking Blue Snow from the opponent's hands, let alone consider the actions of this reckless man.

  So she was exchanging blows with Fang Chenhao, while simultaneously thinking of ways to snatch Lan Ruxue back from him, all the while her words were laced with hidden meanings and veiled threats, causing Fang Ying and Xia Zhaoyang to break out in cold sweat beside her.

  Just then, Xiaoyan suddenly heard a voice in her mind: "Why are you afraid of him? He still doesn't know that I have escaped from the seal. Since so, he will absolutely not use his human pawn to take risks."

  When Xia Yan heard this voice, her first reaction was "damn it, can't you stop distracting me?" and then she realized the meaning of Ao Yuan's words.

  She responded to Fang Chenye with a sentence, and then took the time to lament that Ao Yuan surprisingly also knew that if he spoke up now, he would expose himself (if this were said, Ao Yuan would probably have to owe her another favor in his heart). Then she carefully considered how likely this possibility was.

  From the beginning to now, she also realized that Fang Chenye actually knew very little about the yin-yang dragon jade and the seal, and now it can only be tried with this point, which is much better than playing Tai Chi back and forth.

  After making up her mind, Xia Yu suddenly closed her eyes and burst out laughing. Fang Chenye didn't know what move she had made this time, so he opened his mouth: "Xia Gui Shou, are you thinking of something funny or have you finally come to your senses about the current situation?"

  Xia Yanfei stopped laughing, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still retained a smile. Her originally beautiful eyebrows and eyes were even more radiant under the illumination of the flashlight, truly worthy of being called "the most beautiful in the world".

  But the words that came out of her mouth were like a knife, directly tearing apart all the seemingly luxurious and calm appearances: "I am laughing at someone who is overestimating their own strength, not knowing what the Green Dragon is, daring to show off here as if everything is under control. Boss Fang, do you think it's worth laughing about?"

  As she said this, Xia Yifei herself secretly slid the short knife into her hand hanging by her side, fearing that Fang Shengye would change his face and make things difficult after hearing these words. She didn't have any problems, but the key was that there was a Xia Zeshao behind her who had never seen such a scene before, and the other party still held a seemingly unconscious Lan Ruoxue.

  "What you're saying is... You know where the Blue Dragon exists?"

  Xia Yifei didn't miss the greed in Fang Chenye's eyes, and while thinking of a plan with Ao Yuan in her mind, she casually walked towards Fang Chenye: "Boss Fang thinks I won't go home to investigate before going down to fight? Besides, you also said that this place is related to the dragon pattern of the four major families. If so, it wouldn't be too strange for the Xia family's book pavilion to have records about the green dragon. You say yes?"

  "Well, you'd better say something." Fang Chenye sat down leisurely on the spot, and Xia Yun flew a silent tsk in her heart, so she also stood still on the spot, lest she get too close and arouse Fang Chenye's suspicion.

  "Qing Long, in fact, is just a substitute." Xia Yanyi's mind quickly confirmed the final details with Ao Yuan, while her mouth was telling lies smoothly, and her facial expression also had no flaws. "Referring to a pair of yin-yang twin-born dragon jade."

  Seeing Fang Chen's suspicious expression, Xia Yifei smiled lightly: "Is Boss Fang still wondering how I got out of that snake room?"

  Fang Chen didn't follow her question and nodded slightly, Xia Yu slowly unbuttoned the tightly closed collar and pulled out a white jade dragon pendant tied with a red string: "Boss Fang take a look at this and you'll understand, this is the treasure of the Xia family. The dragon pattern of the four major families is not different from this one, it's not a coincidence. Yin-yang Dragon Jade, yin-yang twin birth. This piece in my hand is the yang jade of the yin-yang Dragon Jade, since I have half of the green dragon, how can the Green Dragon Tomb be difficult for me?"

  When she took out the jade pendant and said a large section of true and false mixed words, Fang Chenye had already stood up with a "pa" sound, and the greedy heat in his eyes could almost burn Xia Yu Fei into ashes.

  When his attention was completely focused on Long Yu, Xia Yifei flashed a smile.

  The fox voluntarily jumped into the trap that had already been set up.
