Archaeology is archaeology, why dig me up?

Chapter 53: With the power of mortals, standing shoulder to shoulder with gods

"Sword Invincible, can you please stop being so overconfident?"

"Is it possible that you... aren't handsome at all?"

Zhou Nan couldn't stand it any longer.

Every time she saw Jian Wudi's face, she wanted to pull out her baton and give him a makeover.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wudi continued to toss his bangs and smiled, "I know."

"Young girls are completely captivated by my looks and can't help but be mesmerized."

"You're trying to get my attention with that, aren't you?"

"Very good, girl, you've successfully caught my attention."

"I will consider accepting your advances, but listen carefully, it's just a consideration."

"But if you want to become my girlfriend, you'll still have to wait in line."

"Ugh~"

"Oh my god, I really can't take it anymore."

"If I, Zhou Nan, ever fall in love with you in this lifetime, I'll be a dog."

"Grandmaster, could you please slap him to death for me?"

"I really can't take it anymore."

"I agree."

Chu Yue also expressed her support for Zhou Nan's suggestion.

"Alright, let's go."

"Sword Invincible, shut up."

Gu Lingchen was speechless, but confidence was a good thing. He couldn't just do anything to Jian Wudi because he was confident, could he?

Chu Yue drove the four of them toward Jiangzhou Airport, but before they even left the residential area, their vehicle collided head-on with Huang Changhe, who was arriving in a Maybach.

Upon seeing Gu Lingchen, Huang Changhe, briefcase in hand, eagerly got off the bus and stood by the window, smiling, "Mr. Gu, are you heading out?"

"Luckily, I arrived in time."

"I wonder if Mr. Gu is settling in well here?"

"The butler, driver, and nanny in the villa are all hired from the top domestic service company. If Mr. Gu has any complaints, just tell me, and I will replace them immediately."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen responded calmly, "Patriarch Huang, let's get straight to the point."

"I'm very happy here."

"Hehe, as long as you're satisfied, as long as you're satisfied."

Huang Changhe was thrilled. Gu Lingchen's acceptance of his gift was enough to show that Gu Lingchen at least didn't treat him as an outsider.

"Mr. Gu, I've come to tell you..."

"After liquidation, the Li family's assets totaled 1.5 billion yuan in cash."

"The combined market value of the companies and industries owned by the famous figures is around 20 billion yuan."

"Because the Li family suddenly fell from power, the mess left by the Li family was handed over to my Huang family to handle. Otherwise, the entire Jiangzhou economy would have been greatly shaken."

"I've already had 1.5 billion yuan in cash transferred to the card I gave you before."

"These are the Li family's assets, including overseas companies, funds, trusts, and so on."

"I came here to ask what to do with these things."

Looking at Huang Changhe, how could Gu Lingchen not know that the biggest beneficiary of the Li family's downfall would be the Huang family?

However, this is not important to Gu Lingchen.

"Master Huang, pay your taxes, and donate the rest."

"Now that you have taken over the Li family business, I hope you will do more things that are beneficial to society."

"If one day I find out that you are making ill-gotten gains like the Li family, you know what will happen to you."

Huang Changhe's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

But then Gu Lingchen took out a pill and tossed it to Huang Changhe, continuing:

"Thank you for the villa, but I never accept favors from others for nothing."

"This is the Spring Return Pill; it will be good for you if you take it."

"Spring Returns Elixir?"

"This... could this be the elixir of immortality?"

Holding the pills in his hands, Huang Changhe trembled with excitement.

He believed that what Gu Lingchen had taken out was definitely not simple.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. For the rest of my life, I, Huang Changhe, will do nothing but be a businessman with a conscience."

"I will give back to society as much of the money I earn as possible."

"Thank you for the elixir, Mr. Gu."

As soon as Gu Lingchen's vehicle disappeared from sight, Huang Changhe swallowed the pill without thinking.

Half a minute later.

Boom!

A surge of frenzied power erupted within him, rejuvenating him and making him feel as if he could immediately give birth to ten or eight more children.

Tears streamed down Huang Changhe's face. He felt that everything he had sacrificed was worthwhile at this moment.

Two hours later, the plane successfully landed at Yanjing International Airport.

Gu Lingchen's first impression of this huge iron behemoth could be summed up in one word: slow.

Fortunately, the ride was fairly comfortable.

Looking out the window, Gu Lingchen was somewhat surprised by the bustling scene of Yanjing.

What's astonishing is that modern people have managed to build an entire city so spectacularly.

They can also invent all sorts of modern high-tech weapons.

Gu Lingchen sensed the power of many weapons and knew he had to be careful.

With the power of mortals, we can rival the gods.

If these weapons had been deployed three thousand years ago, they would have been an absolutely overwhelming force on the battlefield at that time.

Just before the plane had come to a complete stop, a flight attendant seemed to intentionally fall into Gu Lingchen's arms.

But soon the flight attendant stood up, blushing, and apologized, "I'm so sorry, sir, the plane was very bumpy. I'm really sorry."

"It's alright," Gu Lingchen replied casually, but then he noticed a small piece of paper in his hand with a phone number written on it.

The flight attendant left with a meaningful smile before turning and departing.

After shaking his head slightly, he moved his mind, and the small note instantly turned into ashes in Gu Lingchen's hand.

Gu Lingchen was already used to all of this.

Three thousand years ago, countless fairies were in love with Gu Lingchen.

Holy maidens of various sects, princesses of dynasties, and young ladies of noble families.

But in Gu Lingchen's heart, there was only Su Qianxue.

"Look, who are those people?"

"Wow, Beijing really lives up to its reputation as a big city. Private cars can even come right up to the plane to pick people up."

"That car is so big and cool."

"You country bumpkin, that's the legendary Dragon Shadow Chariot."

"And those black Maybachs with license plates, don't they look like the Zhou family's cars?"

"My God, is there some important person on our plane?"

"I'll let you in on a secret: I saw a handsome guy in the business class in front of me when I went to the restroom."

"My God, he's ridiculously handsome."

"He's more handsome than any celebrity I've ever seen."

A group of female college students sat near the aisle of the front row of the plane, discussing the matter.

Jian Wudi, who was less than five meters away from them, was so shocked by the conversation that he turned upside down.

"Sure enough, being too handsome is a problem too."

"I become the center of attention wherever I go."

"Miss Zhou Nan, how about it? Now you know the charm of my invincible sword, right?"

Zhou Nan, sitting next to Jian Wudi, felt like dying.

The most outrageous thing is that the flight attendants always give everyone a professional smile when they serve meals.

When it came to Jian Wudi, they insisted that the flight attendant had fallen for him.

"Invincible Sword, Big Brother."

"Is it possible that the person they're discussing is my ancestor?"
