Archaeology is archaeology, why dig me up?

Chapter 36 Appearing at the Memorial Service

A light rain was still falling, and the atmosphere inside the funeral home was somber.

Everyone lined up to offer flowers to Zhang Tianshi on his final journey.

Even though it was already over, no one around seemed inclined to leave.

Without the Dragon Shadow Guards speaking, none of them dared to leave.

Li Jieren was still recovering from his injury, and after standing there for several hours, he was already cursing under his breath.

But when Li Jie turned his head, he suddenly found Huang Changhe, the head of the Huang family, standing not far behind him.

After cautiously approaching the Huangchang River, Li Jie spoke:

"Uncle Huang."

"It's me, Li Jie."

"I've heard about what happened to Brother Huang. Miss Huang is also my classmate."

"We've always had a good relationship."

"Has the murderer been found?"

"Actually, I think our two families can join forces. I know who the killer is."

Upon hearing this, Huang Changhe frowned and looked around anxiously, his heart pounding.

Li Jie really knows how to bring up things that are best left unsaid.

"Li Jie, stop talking nonsense."

"Huang Long, that rebellious son, did so many heinous things, and his current predicament is entirely his own fault."

"Huang Fei isn't much better off."

"What?"

Li Jie was stunned, and for a moment wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Uncle Huang, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Your most beloved son died, and you actually say he brought it on himself?"

"Really, Uncle Huang, you have to believe me, I really know who did it."

"His name is Gu Lingchen, and he's very close to Su Qianxue."

"They have some ability, but not much."

"If our two families join forces, killing him shouldn't be difficult at all."

"My dad will be back soon, then we won't have to be afraid of him anymore."

"shut up."

Upon hearing this, Huang Changhe flew into a rage.

While others were unaware of Gu Lingchen's situation, Huang Changhe was very clear about it.

"Li Jie, if you're looking for death, don't drag my Huang family down with you."

"And I'm warning you, if you stop now, you might still have a chance."

"You... humph."

"I think you've scared him out of his wits."

"One person can scare your Huang family like this. Your Huang family deserves to be suppressed by my Li family all this time."

After saying that, Li Jie turned and left without saying another word.

Huang Changhe shook his head and sighed as he watched his retreating figure, saying, "You'll soon find out what kind of being you've messed with."

"They're here."

A voice, whose origin was unknown, resounded throughout the entire square.

Almost everyone turned around and looked behind them at the same time.

Not far away, a man dressed in black casual clothes walked straight toward them.

With each step this person took, an invisible sense of oppression swept over you.

Furthermore, many martial artists noticed that although this person was not using an umbrella, not a single drop of rainwater had gotten on him.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the rainwater had evaporated about one meter above the person after it fell.

It's as if an invisible barrier keeps all the rainwater out.

"It's him?"

Upon seeing the newcomers, Huang Changhe, Li Jie, Su Beihe, and Professor Zhou, who had unearthed Gu Lingchen, were present.

Even Zhou Nan, who was standing next to the Dragon Shadow Guard, recognized the newcomer as Gu Lingchen at a glance.

Many people who did not know Gu Lingchen were puzzled and speculated about the identity of the newcomer.

Chu Yue, standing on the perimeter, saw Gu Lingchen and immediately stepped forward respectfully, saying, "Senior Gu, you've arrived."

"Our memorial service is over, and you can take Zhang Tianshi away at any time."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

"The founding master?"

"My God, you look so handsome today."

"What are you doing here?" Gu Lingchen asked casually after seeing Zhou Nan.

Why can't I be here?

"Of course, it was my Uncle Ye who invited me. My brother is the captain of the Xuan-class squad of the Dragon Shadow Guard."

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"

"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect to meet you again." Huang Changhe took the opportunity to walk up to Gu Lingchen and greet him.

At this moment, Huang Changhe was even more certain that Gu Lingchen was definitely someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Zhou Nan certainly knew about the Zhou family in Yanjing.

Even she and the Dragon Shadow Guards show such respect to Gu Lingchen. What does that mean?

Huang Changhe stepped forward to greet Gu Lingchen, something that surprised many people.

Lu Qianqian and Li Jie racked their brains but still couldn't figure it out.

"Hmm, Patriarch Huang looks to be in good spirits today."

"Hehe, not at all, it's all thanks to Mr. Gu."

"I'd like to find another opportunity to formally invite Mr. Gu to a banquet so I can properly apologize to him."

"There's no need to attend the banquet," Gu Lingchen replied calmly.

However, this was within Huang Changhe's expectations.

"Senior Gu, let me introduce you. This is Ye Tian, ​​the leader of our Dragon Shadow Guard."

The two locked eyes.

At this moment, Ye Tian felt that Gu Lingchen's eyes were deeper than the stars and the sea.

He couldn't see through her at all; on the contrary, he felt that he had no secrets from her.

Ye Tian had only ever felt this way with the Grand Elder.

"Mr. Gu, my name is Ye Tian. Thank you for your righteous help."

"And on behalf of all the Dragon Shadow Guards and the women you saved, thank you."

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so much younger than I anticipated."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen responded calmly, "Chief Ye, you're too kind."

"Your Dragon Shadow Guards are equally worthy of everyone's respect."

"I promised Zhang Tianshi that I would take his body back to Longhu Mountain for burial, so I took him with me."

"Senior Gu, we have prepared a truck for you."

"The journey to Longhu Mountain is long and there is no road connecting it to the mountain. Let us send someone to accompany you."

"No need for that."

After giving a curt refusal, Gu Lingchen turned his gaze to Zhou Nan.

"Zhou Nan, I need to leave for a while."

"Send people to protect Qianxue and the others."

"Hehe, okay, Grandmaster, don't worry."

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Gu Lingchen quietly walked to Zhang Tianshi's coffin.

Then, with a slight raise of his hand, the several-thousand-pound black wooden plaza instantly rose into the air and hovered above Gu Lingchen's right index finger.

Shocked, breathless.

"What kind of tactic is this?"

"The black ironwood coffin weighs several thousand kilograms, yet he lifted it with just one finger?"

"No, it's like they're supporting each other from a distance."

The next second, under everyone's horrified and shocked gazes, Gu Lingchen took a step forward, holding the coffin, and his figure instantly rose into the air, already a hundred meters away.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Lingchen had disappeared from sight.

"this…."

"How is this possible?"

"Is he even human?"

Li Jie was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Only at this moment did he realize that Gu Lingchen might be far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Lu Qianqian, Su Beihe, Professor Zhou, and others were also so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

Everyone's understanding was being refreshed by Gu Lingchen's methods.

"Zhou Nan, he..."

"Is he really our Zhou family's grandmaster?"

"Illusionary Squad Leader Zhou Fei asked in shock."

"Oh, brother, would I lie to you?"

"The patriarch is definitely the strongest person I have ever met."

"Alright, the patriarch has assigned me a task, I'm off."

"Brother, take good care of yourself."

"If you have time, go back and visit your grandfather. He always talks about you to me, saying that I should learn from you."

"I'm so angry I could die..."
