Chapter 8: The Kid's a Master!
Professor Chen and Shirley Yang were taken aback by Hao Aiguo's outburst, their expressions changing dramatically.
They were just about to speak up for Han Li.
"If Little Han doesn't go, then neither will I!"
A cold voice rang out!
At that moment!
Old Hu, who had just agreed to go, furrowed his brows and stared at Hao Aiguo!
"Mr. Hu, you..."
Faced with this gaze, Hao Aiguo's smugness faltered, caught off guard!
He hadn't expected that Old Hu, after just meeting Han Li once, would so forcefully stand up for him!
This was something he had never considered before.
Fatty Wang was also dumbfounded!
Although he was also interested in Han Li, finding him to be a master...
But he didn't think it would go as far as giving up at least $10,000 in compensation to support Han Li!
That was real money!
"We don't have a second person in this team who's familiar with celestial star feng shui, if Mr. Hu doesn't go, the team will be missing a leader!"
Professor Chen hadn't anticipated Old Hu's staunch support for Han Li.
However, despite his anxiety, he was secretly pleased...
He hoped this would encourage Han Li to stay on the archaeological team.
Shirley Yang felt the same.
Old Hu had proven to be an experienced and capable guide.
Although Han Li was brought in through connections, he possessed knowledge of the Ghost Cave people's history and culture.
Both were essential to her!
"Mr. Hu, you and Han Li aren't friends, are you saying that you've fallen for each other at first sight?"
"You need to have a convincing reason!"
Hao Aiguo's face was cold, unwilling to give up.
Others also looked curiously, wanting to hear Old Hu's reasoning for supporting Han Li.
For a moment.
All eyes were on Old Hu.
"You guys don't know anything about Little Han?"
In fact, Old Hu was also confused.
Han Li was clearly a martial artist, why did the archaeological team members know nothing about it, and why did they show him no respect?
"A few days ago, Fatty and I came for the job interview, and in the vegetable market, a robber appeared..."
"He was incredibly tough, several men who tried to intervene couldn't subdue him!"
"He was big and strong, and he knocked down several people."
"In the end, Little Han took him down!"
"Little Han is clearly a hidden martial artist, not someone ordinary!"
"If we encounter danger, maybe we can rely on Little Han to turn the tide!"
With that, Old Hu shook his head slightly, his face serious, and he said again:
"In short, if he doesn't go, neither will I!"
The words fell!
The carriage fell silent!
Shirley Yang's usually cool and aloof face showed a look of great surprise for the first time, and she looked at Professor Chen in astonishment...
As if to say, why didn't you explain Han Li's abilities to her!
But Professor Chen was also bewildered.
He even questioned his own ears!
Was the Han Li that Old Hu was talking about the same one he knew?
"That's impossible!"
Hao Aiguo scoffed, as if he had heard a joke, shaking his head repeatedly:
"That kid...he hasn't even grown any hair yet, he's a martial artist?!"
"Mr. Hu, you can find a better reason, don't just make things up!"
Shirley Yang and Professor Chen also felt Old Hu's explanation was absurd.
Han Li had only shown his knowledge of the Ghost Cave people, not any other shining points!
"Hey...are you two blind? Do we need to lie to you?"
Here, Fatty Wang, seeing Hao Aiguo questioning Old Hu, immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction!
"Do we need to go to the trouble of making up a story to deceive you? Are you bored?"
"Old Hu is right!"
"Anyway, if Little Han leaves, Old Hu won't go either, if they both don't go, then neither will I!"
With that!
Fatty Wang snorted coldly, crossed his legs nonchalantly and shook them in annoyance.
Hao Aiguo was so angry that his face turned red, and his nostrils flared wider than a gorilla's.
Han Li was fine!
But if Old Hu and Fatty Wang really didn't go, it would be highly detrimental to the archaeological team's situation!
Faced with this impasse...
Hao Aiguo could only give up, his face darkened as he remained silent.
"So...can I stay on the archaeological team?"
At that moment!
A soft voice rang out from outside the carriage.
A young man wearing a black hoodie and a hood, looking tall and imposing, appeared.
He was standing at the door, it was unknown when he arrived!
Han Li glanced at the deflated Hao Aiguo...
If he wasn't planning to use this archaeological trip to gain progress in his inheritance.
And to obtain the sixteen-word Yin-Yang feng shui secret art from Old Hu...
He really wouldn't bother with this guy!
It was pointless to fight with Hao Aiguo, there was no fun in bullying this kind of person.
"Ahem, Little Han...Aiguo's intention is good, he's just worried about your safety!"
"Besides, neither I nor Shirley...want you to leave!"
Professor Chen was a kind-hearted man, and he softened the atmosphere.
He had to give face to the old professor, Han Li found an excuse and walked outside...
Without Hao Aiguo, the air seemed to become fresh.
He looked out the window, no longer plains or plateaus, but a continuous mountain range, like a giant dragon!
This meant -
Their destination wasn't far.
At that moment, Old Hu and Fatty Wang approached.
"Want one?"
Fatty Wang grinned, offering him his White Sands cigarette.
Han Li didn't refuse, taking the cigarette.
He hadn't thought about it until now...
The incident where he took down the robber in the vegetable market was witnessed by Old Hu and Fatty Wang!
No wonder...Old Hu and Fatty Wang liked him so much.
"That old man, I've disliked him for a long time."
Seeing Han Li take the cigarette, the smile on Fatty Wang's face grew wider.
He felt like they were on the same side, becoming even more casual as he started to complain.
"He just relies on his bit of knowledge, Professor Chen's judgment is off, he picked up such a student."
Old Hu shook his head slightly, seemingly also dissatisfied with Hao Aiguo.
As Shirley Yang came over, seeing the three of them chatting...
The issue of Hao Aiguo targeting Han Li.
As the leader, she wanted to comfort Han Li.
To prevent him from feeling hurt and ruining the search for the Tomb of the Queen of the Mummies.
Seeing him laughing and joking, she stopped.
She planned to turn around and go back.
"Speaking of which...Little Han, there's something I don't know if I should ask."
Suddenly.
Old Hu's tone became somewhat apologetic, his voice laced with curiosity.
Han Li raised an eyebrow: "Please, feel free to ask."
"Ahem...that day when we visited Professor Chen, were you always at the door?"
Old Hu said, extinguishing his cigarette.
It seemed like the matter was important to him.
"Yeah!"
Han Li nodded: "I saw Professor Chen entertaining you, I thought I shouldn't go in and disturb you, so I stood at the door..."
Old Hu pursed his lips, his expression turning serious:
"Besides that fight with the robber that day, Little Han...do you also know some kind of invisibility technique?"
"Or some kind of illusionary magic?"
"I suddenly got up and saw you at the door, and then you suddenly disappeared out of thin air!"
"I thought I was seeing things...but I know I wasn't mistaken!"
"This has been bothering me, now I have the chance...to finally ask you."
The words fell.
Shirley Yang stopped!
If before, Old Hu said that Han Li was a hidden martial artist...
She thought it was nonsense!
But now, she was truly dumbfounded!
Because Old Hu didn't have any reason to lie!
Could it be...
Was Han Li really a hidden master?
