Hearing Fatty’s mumbling, everyone’s faces went dark.
Hu Bayi even gave Zhang Tian a thumbs up, realizing it was indeed too right not to let him speak.
“Yes, Brother Zhang, I’ll go back in a few days. I’ll discuss cooperation in Fushiguo then. I’ll leave things here to you.”
Shirley Yang said, and Zhang Tian nodded gently. Fushiguo was a must-go, and Zhang Tian would resolve matters there as quickly as possible.
This would be a surprise for the Bureau of Cultural Relics and fulfill a personal wish.
“Fatty, for you, it’s the same as before: focus on cultivation.”
“That’s all. Everyone, you’re dismissed.”
As Zhang Tian spoke, he was about to get up when the gate of the courtyard was knocked.
“Boss, I’ll get it!”
Fatty, seeing this, hurried towards the wooden door.
Soon, the door was opened.
“Tian Wang Gai Di Hu!”
“You’re Er Bai Wu!”
“Holy hell, Brother Kai Xuan, long time no see!”
“Haha, Brother Ban Yue, you’ve gotten thinner since we last met.”
The two fatties pointed at each other, both with smiles on their faces.
This left Zhang Tian and the others stunned.
Good heavens, it had to be the two of them.
Zhang Tian was already starting to dread the idea of going tomb raiding with these two fatties.
It would definitely be a breeding ground for comedic anecdotes.
At that rate, even the tomb owner might be driven mad by Fatty’s incessant chatter.
“Young Master Zhang, long time no see.”
Wu Tian Zhen walked slowly towards Zhang Tian with a smile on his face.
“Young Master Wu, you too. You look well lately.”
Zhang Tian chuckled.
“Not at all, Young Master Zhang, it’s you. You look much younger lately.”
Wu Tian Zhen was truly the destined protagonist, his growth was astonishingly fast.
His unspoken meaning was that Zhang Tian’s strength seemed to have increased again recently.
Zhang Tian sighed inwardly, realizing that Wu Tian Zhen was no longer as naive as before.
He had become more cunning.
“Haha, Young Master Wu, you’re not doing badly either. Come, sit. We were just talking about you.”
Zhang Tian said with a smile. Wu Tian Zhen, with Fatty, also sat down.
“It’s an honor to be mentioned by Young Master Zhang. And who is this?”
Wu Tian Zhen looked at Shirley Yang. This was their first meeting.
“This is Shirley Yang, Miss Yang.”
Zhang Tian introduced her.
“Yang? Hello, Miss Yang, I’m Wu Tian Zhen. It seems we have some collaboration.”
Wu Tian Zhen paused, then introduced himself generously.
Zhang Tian was slightly surprised. Did Wu Tian Zhen know Shirley Yang?
“Yes, I know. We tried to get that elixir last time but failed. It’s alright, we can still cooperate if there’s a chance.”
Shirley Yang said.
Her meaning was naturally about the last auction.
The Wu family didn’t have much money to bid on the elixir, and the Yang family had provided the funds, but they ultimately failed.
Zhang Tian caught on to some of the nuances and didn’t say much.
Soon, everyone introduced themselves. Wu Tian Zhen was quite surprised by Xiao Bie, as Zhang Tian even kept such a monster. Zhang Tian was a peculiar person in Wu Tian Zhen’s eyes.
“Young Master Wu, what brings you here this time?”
Zhang Tian spoke first.
“We’re mainly here for Little Fushiguo. Fatty’s hands are already itching for it.”
“Young Master Zhang, just tell us when we’re taking action.”
Wang Ban Yue said from the side, looking incredibly impatient.
“Brother Ban Yue, why are you in such a hurry? Are you planning to dig up graves or meet the divine emperor?”
Kai Xuan teased him from the side.
“Both, really. After all, as youths of the new era, what else should we be doing?”
Wang Ban Yue said. In a flash, Wang Kai Xuan understood.
“Yes, Brother Ban Yue is right. As someone born in this great nation, I have to contribute.”
The two exchanged words, playing a good hand.
Zhang Tian understood their intentions perfectly; they were after the cultural relics, nothing more.
Wang Ban Yue was also someone whose eyes lit up for cultural relics.
Too bad his luck, like Fatty’s, only allowed him to touch jade.
“I’ve been considering this matter as well.”
“How about this, it’s still early. Young Master Wu, shall we depart in a month?”
Zhang Tian said. A month’s time would be enough for Zhang Tian to get things in order.
Wu Tian Zhen nodded and stood up.
“Alright, I’ll await your good news, Young Master Zhang. By the way, where is Cold Cool Little Brother? Why isn’t he here?”
Wu Tian Zhen was still thinking about Zhang Qi Ling.
“He’s at home. He probably won’t be coming out anytime soon.”
Zhang Tian chuckled.
“At home?”
Wu Tian Zhen seemed surprised. In his understanding, that mysterious young man didn’t have a home.
He could even speak to corpses, and his third uncle said he had been wandering, searching for something.
Now he had a home? This made Wu Tian Zhen quite astonished.
“Yes, he should be in a good mood right now.”
Zhang Tian said casually.
Wu Tian Zhen stood up.
“Alright, I understand. Young Master Zhang, I’ll wait for your news. We’ll go together then.”
“If that’s the case, we’ll take our leave. Fatty, let’s go.”
Wu Tian Zhen said, elegantly leaving the courtyard with Fatty.
“Brother Ban Yue, talk to you next time.”
Fatty also called out from the side.
His face was beaming.
“Boss, why do we have to cooperate with Young Master Wu?”
“With our strength, we don’t need to bring anyone else along.”
Hu Bayi asked the question he had been wanting to ask.
Given their current strength, Wu Tian Zhen was practically just sightseeing and of little use.
But Zhang Tian had insisted on him coming along. Was there a reason?
“He’s a talent, suitable for our overseas development.”
“When our overseas group expands in the future, he’ll be a good prospect. Also, Old Hu, I don’t think you want Miss Yang to keep living overseas, do you?”
Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi suddenly realized.
So the boss was considering him. He had been overthinking things.
“Boss, thank you.”
Hu Bayi expressed his sincere gratitude.
A hint of a blush appeared on his dark face.
This stunned Zhang Tian. Was he that easily moved?
After that, they chatted a bit more.
Little Fox carried Xiao Bie back to the house, asking why he wasn’t going home. Little Fox pouted and refused to say.
Fatty, on the other hand, was solely focused on cultivation.
Hu Bayi was working on some blueprints, planning to send the Jingjue Ancient City map to the archaeological bureau later.
“Boss, I plan to submit the route for our Jingjue Ancient City expedition. Are you coming?”
Hu Bayi asked.
Zhang Tian thought for a moment.
“Yes, we can. Miss Yang, coming with us?”
Zhang Tian smiled.
Shirley Yang was taken aback.
Good heavens, just a few months ago, she had been suspicious of those mysterious secret agents. Now, she had become one.
She wondered what Professor Chen’s reaction would be if he knew she had become a mysterious secret agent.
Thinking of this, Shirley Yang found it amusing.
Countless experts were speculating about those mysterious secret agents, unaware that the agents were right beside them.
Shirley Yang increasingly looked forward to the day Zhang Tian’s identity as a mysterious secret agent was exposed.
