The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 104: Catfight Before the Split

Didn’t expect that underneath the captain’s tough exterior lies the heart of a gossip-loving aunt!

Last time, Chen Qinghan just made up an excuse for my injury. It was one thing for him to believe it so easily, but he even went on to spread it around...

This rumor might never die down, the response to the tied-in publicity is huge. It’s all Chen Qinghan’s fault for insisting on hyping up the CP, and now his big fans are coming after me.

"Sigh, can we just focus on the grave digging without crazily adding romance drama to it?"

"No choice, without the romance drama, no one would invest." Chen Qinghan shook his head with a helpless smile, playing along with my act.

"No investment, I won’t perform."

"The item you want to sell, my friend just found a buyer..."

"Look at you, getting all distant. With our relationship, of course, I’d do this as a friendly cameo for free!"

Even heroes bow for five bushels of rice, let alone I am no hero. For the sake of money, tearing down rumors is no big deal~

"The information He Su holds might be very important. We need to find a way to get her to talk." Chen Qinghan suddenly turned serious, as if the one acting with me just now wasn’t him.

"So many years have passed, tsk tsk..." From my memory, not every clan member has the ability to be immortal. People like me and Bi Shi are rare anomalies.

He Su manages to maintain her immortality with unconventional means. I can’t recall who she refers to as ’them.’

"Can we just not get involved in their affairs?" I always feel like getting dragged into their mess would be inextricable. Chen Qinghan’s team is dealing with the Heavenly Maiden Tomb, leave the living to others.

"You don’t want to be involved?"

"No, I just want to work hard, earn money, and live an ordinary life."

"Is that what you want, but what about them? Will they let you?"

"The world is big; I should be able to avoid them."

"Alright then, I’ll try to arrange for you to join another team and keep you away from the front lines." Chen Qinghan thought for a moment and said.

"What about you?"

"I can’t retreat from the front line."

"Oh, so we’re breaking up this quickly..."

"We’re coworkers in the same organization; we’ll have the chance to meet again."

Chen Qinghan suddenly paused, "However, we have to wait until this matter is resolved."

"Sigh, got it." Although it’s a pity to part ways with Chen Qinghan, I really don’t want to get involved with clan affairs, I just want to stay far away. If it’s a corpse, never mind, living people are the most troublesome.

If I hadn’t met Chen Qinghan, I would still be counting mushrooms in the ancient tomb. But after meeting him, I’ve become entangled with the clan, which seems a real loss.

I’m very averse to interacting with clan members, even never wanting to see them again. Even if I lose my memory, some instincts are deeply ingrained. So I’ve decided to stay away from their dramas.

However, I will fulfill what I’ve promised Chen Qinghan, at least we should part ways peacefully after getting off the ship.

When He Su appeared before us again, she had returned to her usual elderly appearance.

She invited us to dinner at the luxury restaurant on the ship as if nothing had happened.

Bi Shi ate and drank as if it wasn’t her who almost got bitten during the day.

Since everyone was acting this way, I didn’t hold back and piled the good food onto Chen Qinghan’s plate. Anyway, those two women aren’t normal, wasting good food on them would be a pity.

This scene happened to catch the attention of someone at the next table, and a clear and short laugh drifted over but instantly stopped.

"Sorry, seeing you two so lovey-dovey, I was overwhelmed by the sweetness. But it’s so cute, I couldn’t help it... so, don’t mind." The woman at the next table explained proactively.

I raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile crept up my lips, this gentle and pretty-speaking woman is Chen Qinghan’s senior sister—Qi Xiuyuan.

When we came in, she wasn’t there. She must have arrived when the food was served since there was a man opposite her, so I didn’t pay much attention to their table.

"Thank you." I smugly thanked, then with a crack, broke open a crab claw and presented the tender crab leg meat in front of Chen Qinghan.

Although Chen Qinghan had described what she looks like, since she pretends not to know me, I wouldn’t bring it up either.

Bi Shi looked at me with disdain from the opposite side, while He Su remained expressionless. Though supposedly a reconciliation dinner, she didn’t mention the day’s incident and just chatted idly with Bi Shi about worldly affairs.

"We’re only two people; it’s not much fun. Why don’t we go to a party together later? There’s a band performing tonight, someone famous, I heard." Qi Xiuyuan’s every word and action were generous and elegant, making it easy for people to like her. Plus, her appearance wasn’t aggressive, so even strangers would let down their guard around her.

The man opposite her was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, his hair slicked back neatly with wax, giving off the vibe of a successful or elite figure.

"Sure." I had already agreed with Chen Qinghan to confront his senior sister, there was no backing out, I had to face her head-on.

"Then at nine-thirty tonight, see you at the top-level bar, won’t take no for an answer." Qi Xiuyuan smiled with crescent eyes, seeming genuinely happy.

We were almost finished eating and returned to our rooms. Chen Qinghan burped loudly after getting to his room and then roamed around in the living room after changing to slippers.

That table full of seafood earlier, I had practically put it all onto his plate; He Su and Bi Shi only took a bite each.

But they didn’t care because tonight’s dinner wasn’t about filling their stomachs.

I guess He Su just wanted to see Bi Shi’s attitude; after what happened during the day, if Bi Shi cared, she wouldn’t have come in the evening.

I can’t figure out why He Su acted so impulsively. Could she have a pressing reason to absorb power?

But that’s no longer my concern, I thought idly and then brushed it aside. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

At nine o’clock, Chen Qinghan and I left together to watch the performance at the bar upstairs.

The band Qi Xiuyuan mentioned sang country songs. Luckily it wasn’t some overly noisy rock band.

Chen Qinghan and I sat at Qi Xiuyuan’s table; she still had that elite man with her, who introduced himself as Wen, claiming to be in the antique business.

Antique business again? It reminded me of that talkative rich kid, but this man wasn’t talkative at all, rather quiet.

At this point, Qi Xiuyuan stopped pretending to be a stranger and actively mentioned that she is Chen Qinghan’s senior sister.

After speaking, she seemed to wait for my response, to which I just smiled, "Is that so, got it."

My indifference made Qi Xiuyuan freeze for a moment. Perhaps she had never encountered anyone who didn’t give her face like this.

Girls around Chen Qinghan, upon seeing this senior sister who grew up with him, would certainly show her respect.

Unfortunately, I came here to confront her; it’s her face that I’m here to step on.

"Xiao Han’s girlfriend has quite the personality; you two should get along and be tolerant of each other." Qi Xiuyuan smiled slightly, immediately regaining her composure, speaking with an elder’s tone.

"This one? He only has me, no ex, no next. Senior sister, aren’t you quite forgetful at your age? Eat some walnuts to nourish your brain."
