“Haha, more or less.”

“To be honest, the two of us are newcomers to the industry. Boss, can you tell us about the tomb-raiding circle? Let us broaden our horizons.” Ye Feng continued to ask for more information.

“Well, to be honest, I don’t know much about this industry either.” The boss was obviously a cautious person and understood the principle of making a mistake by saying too much.

Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately took out a dozen bills from his stack of money and placed them on the counter. “Let’s just treat it as paying to listen to a story.”

The boss’s eyes lit up. “What story do you want to hear?”

As he spoke, he discreetly tucked the dozen bills in the drawer.

“Let’s talk about the news in the tomb-raiding circle now.”

Ye Feng casually changed the topic.

The boss thought for a moment and then started talking non-stop. “If you want to talk about the most sensational news in the industry recently, it’s still about the big tomb that’s rumored to be open.”

“Big tomb? What tomb?” Fuuma Jianwu also came over curiously.

“I heard that it’s Xiang Yu’s tomb. It’s on the left side of our river. It might be revealed soon.” The boss explained.

“Is Xiang Yu’s tomb real?” Ye Feng exchanged a glance with Fuuma Jianwu, and he asked calmly.

“Of course it’s true. The news was first released by the Black Mountain Alliance. But in just a few days, the Black Mountain Alliance was destroyed. Some people said that they were destroyed because they revealed this huge secret and ruined the good things of a big shot…”

The shop owner told them about the rumors that he had heard, and it shocked Ye Feng and his companion.

“A few days ago, grave robbers from all over the country infiltrated our Jiangzuo. During those few days, my business was booming.” When the boss said this, his face was filled with nostalgia.

“Those few days? Has business been bad for the past few days?” Ye Feng asked despite knowing the answer.

As expected, the boss sighed. “In the past few days, all the tomb-raiding gangs outside the city have withdrawn from Jiangzuo. Even the local gangs are hiding.”

“Why? Didn’t they say that Xiang Yu’s tomb was about to be opened? Why did they leave?”

“Because a mysterious person appeared a few days ago. This mysterious person’s methods are simply heaven-defying. With a single order, he made all these gangs disperse.” When the boss mentioned this mysterious person, his face was full of admiration.

“Is this mysterious person that powerful?”

Fuuma Jianwu glanced at Ye Feng again. The boss did not know that this mysterious person was right in front of him.

The boss’s face was full of emotion. “Yes, there were still many people who didn’t believe it at first. Then, this mysterious person gathered all the thieves together and used three unique skills to scare off all the thieves.”

Fuuma Jianwu mimicked Zhuang Xiaoqiao and exclaimed, “Three unique skills can scare off all the thieves? So powerful? Which three?”

The boss saw that his story had aroused the curiosity of this great beauty, so he started to tell her even more diligently.

“This first ultimate skill is… Scatter beans into soldiers. The mysterious man sprinkled a handful of soybeans on the table and chanted a few incantations. The soybeans moved on their own. In the end, the soybeans even automatically formed a word…”

“What word?”

“Of course, it’s the word ‘death.’ It means that if these people don’t withdraw immediately, their lives will be in danger…”

When Ye Feng and Fuuma Jianwu heard this, they were speechless.

Why did this story change as it spread? Did it become a myth?

Ye Feng felt that if he really had the ability to turn beans into soldiers, he would not have to run around the world.

If he was given a handful of beans, he could conquer the entire Earth.

The boss didn’t pay attention to their expressions and continued to tell them vividly.

“The second skill is to turn your breath into ice. The mysterious man took a deep breath, like a whale sucking in water, and then slowly exhaled. The airflow surged out and gradually condensed into a block of solid ice on the table. How magical…”

When Ye Feng heard this, he could not catch his breath and started coughing violently.

He didn’t know how to turn his breath into ice, but he could still try to turn it into phlegm.

What was this?

Fuuma Jianwu, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This shop owner was very interesting.

The boss thought that the two of them were happy and became even more encouraged. “The first two are just child’s play. The real thing is the last one.”

“This was child’s play?” Fuuma Jianwu looked at the boss in shock. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn’t write novels.

“Of course. Otherwise, how could the mysterious person scare off all the tomb raiders? There must be some unfathomable means. This mysterious person’s last skill is the Five Ghosts Transportation Technique…”

“Pa da!”

When he said this, the socket hanging on the wall behind him suddenly fell, frightening the boss. “d.a.m.n, I was scared to death. I thought the mysterious man had cast a spell. Where were we?”

“Ahem, that mysterious person used the Five Ghosts Transportation Technique.” Fuuma Jianwu really didn’t want to listen to this guy’s nonsense anymore. However, she had to wait anyway, so she treated it as a joke.

“Yes, yes, yes, the Five Ghosts Transportation Technique. The mysterious man took out a few talismans and chanted. The talismans immediately ignited and floated into the air. Then, a plate on the table floated up and fell into the mysterious man’s hand. This is the legendary Five Ghosts Transportation Technique!”

When Ye Feng and Fuuma Jianwu heard this, they could not help but clap.

Regardless of whether he was telling the truth or not, at the very least, his storytelling skills were real. Whether it was his tone or expression, he was very engrossed and infectious.

The boss received a warm response from the two of them and immediately smiled proudly. “The mysterious person is so powerful. Do you think those gangs will dare to compete with him for the tomb? Wouldn’t that be suicidal?”

Ye Feng nodded in agreement. “That’s right. If this mysterious person really has such a powerful spell, he is indeed invincible.”

The boss sized up the two of them. “I see that the two of you are honest people, so I’ll give you a piece of advice. Now, all the tomb raiders are hiding and don’t dare to show themselves. You guys didn’t pick the right time to enter the industry.”

Ye Feng laughed awkwardly. “We are just nameless people, we shouldn’t attract the attention of that mysterious person, right?”

The boss hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth. “Forget it, I’ll give you the truth. President Yu of the Three Phoenix Society has already instructed us to pay attention to the movements of the circle at all times. I’ve already reported the matter of you coming to buy tools to the Three Phoenix Society. Their people should be here soon.”

Ye Feng and Fuuma Jianwu were dumbfounded.

Was he shooting himself in the foot?
