216 Zishan Noon
osphere seem so heavy"Xiao Qiao, the Shen family just sent someone to invite you." My brother shrugged, looking knowing.My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Old Mrs. Shen's health had taken a tur...What vinegar is he eating! I didn't do anything... This guy is on purpose.
I haven't had much in-depth communication with Lin Yanhuan. He thinks I protected him twice, which kind of hurt his pride, so his attitude towards me is a bit special.
We've never even had an ambiguous relationship, but whenever Jiang Qiyun mentioned Lin Yanhuan, he would stare at me with a smirk that made my heart race.
Jiang Qiyun only flicked my hair a few times with his finger, and successfully took control of the situation, making all of us feel incredibly awkward.
My brother's lips twitched, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably. I knew he was trying hard not to laugh.
What should I say at this time
I'm so embarrassed...
In the end, it was still my brother who coughed, and said to Lin Yanqin: "Miss Lin, I mentioned the feng shui partition of the bedroom last time, have you done it"
"Huh Oh, oh... Done..." She was a bit slow to react.
My brother stood up and said, "Come on, take me to see. Don't put my family treasure in the wrong place."
He stood up and tilted his head towards Lin Yanqin. Lin Yanqin looked confused at first and then suddenly realized what was going on, quickly following my brother off the battlefield.
I... Brother, aren't you going to save me How could you leave me here and run away yourself
"I never thought something I couldn't see could touch you." Lin Yanhuan stared at the empty chair behind me.
I nodded and said, “This is... something that happens in our circle. It’s a bit unusual and most people wouldn’t know about it.”
“I asked the masters on this side, they said that so-called spirit marriage is a folk custom, something decided by the families of two deceased people… You, my husband, wouldn't be using spirit marriage for another purpose, would you” Lin Yanhuan was blunt, her tone icy.
"...Well, some things are just unclear, but he's not a ghost."
"I know it's a deity, but can such an ethereal mythical figure really be touched"
His tone was cold and hard, his expression serious. I felt like I was being interrogated.
A chill ran down my spine. Jiang Qiyun's aura was as cold and sharp as ice. I really wanted to tell Lin Yanhua to stop, but I was afraid Jiang Qiyun would misunderstand.
As expected, Jiang Qiyun's icy voice rang out behind me: "Can't touch her Then how am I supposed to get her pregnant Hmph... Mr. Lin, don't think that with the imperial aura of the Taimiao Temple, you can interfere in other people's affairs."
This was clearly said to Lin Yanhuan. His expression froze for a moment, and I turned my head back. Jiang Qiyun said calmly, “ … You called Xiao Qiao and her brother here, wanting to ask them how they handled the aftermath of Haiyan Lou As one of the parties involved, if this matter were dug up, it would have a huge impact on your family.”
“Well, I don't trust anyone else in this matter.” Lin Yanhuan’s tone was flat.
Lin Yanhuan looked at me and said, "If your health allows, give me some advice on how to completely deal with this issue and eliminate the future threat. I always feel that Xu Yaqi's actions are a bit dangerous."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with my brother and have him get back to you." I wanted to end the conversation quickly.
To be caught in the middle was a little frightening, Jiang Qiyun's tone wasn't quite right.
When he got home, he frowned and said, "You can't even recite all twenty-four mountains. What are you looking at Lin is worried that someone with ulterior motives might use that day's events to harm his family. Why do you care so much"
"Who said I couldn't memorize it all, I memorized it!"
The Twenty-Four Mountains School of Feng Shui, one of the most important scientific principles, emphasizes the harmony of heaven, earth, and humanity.
To be honest, if you really want me to recite everything, I'd feel a little embarrassed.
Before the Haian Building met with misfortune, its orientation was facing south-southeast according to the Chinese compass. The artificial lake and water flow inside were meticulously designed, featuring a "Three Harmonies in Pearl Necklace" formation. Overall, it presented a favorable Feng Shui pattern of "Jade Belt Encircling the Body," signifying wealth, honor, and prosperity.
But after Xu Yaqi reversed the formation with a mirror, it became the opposite. The one who was supposed to be defeated was now victorious, and the original victor met their doom in Huangquan (the river of death). There were also legal repercussions.
Take a look at Xu's current situation, he's still being held.
Jiang Qiyun looked at me, his thin lips curled into a smile: "You're quite good. Learned a lot, haven't you"
“...I am still learning, though slowly.”
"You are no longer slow. You have tasted the tea of immortals, you understand everything thoroughly, you just need to wait for an opportunity." He said leisurely.
I tilted my head to look at him. He rarely spoke to me in such profound terms. Was he trying to guide me
"You're the same, knowing so much and not teaching me, leaving me to figure it out on my own..." I complained as I lay down to sleep.
He hugged me from behind and whispered, "Teach you what Some things I'm figuring out myself, and I still need you to help me..."
I kept thinking about him in a daze.
What is he pondering What can I possibly do for him
That night's dream was rather peculiar. I dreamt of a majestic city, with towering gates and walls, all the buildings were black.
There was a person standing on the stairs with their back to me. I called out several times, but they ignored me. When I walked up and took a closer look, the person's black hair was flying in the air like snakes. After a while, they slowly turned around and gave me a side profile.
Her eyes were sharp, but her features were familiar, it was...me
The dream was utterly erratic. One moment I saw Lin Yanhuan say, "You're a whole person, the law doesn't recognize so-called ghost marriages," and the next I dreamt of Haiyanlou’s glass facade shattering, ghostly figures drifting past the pitch-black windows, and eerie voices echoing through the hollow building.
I trembled suddenly, and Jiang Qiyun immediately hugged me tightly, frowning: "…What's wrong"
I opened my eyes too quickly, and my head spun. I rubbed my head and mumbled, "I must have had a nightmare..."
“Turn around,” he said.
“Turn it around and it’ll be on your head.” I replied without thinking.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked with displeasure, "Who are you saying is 'topping' who"
Uh... I mean my stomach's gonna be pressed against yours, sweat.
"What nightmare did you have" he asked, his brow furrowing slightly.
I told him about my dream just now. I felt like I had never seen that pure black city gate before. Why would I dream of standing in front of it
Jiang Qiyun listened to my words and curled his lips, saying: “If all dreams are those we have seen ourselves, where would anyone regard dreams as omens to seek solutions”
"Then please, Your Imperial Majesty, explain my dream for me." I smiled at him.
He stared at me quietly, his gaze growing deeper and more somber in the darkness. It seemed as though even the gleam of his golden irises had dulled.
"Change your address, and I'll consider it."
"Hmm...That, Husband" I smiled, hugging his waist. Although my stomach was pressed against him, making the posture a little awkward, it didn't stop me from burying my head on his shoulder.
"... Are you going to Haiyan Lou"
I stuck out my tongue. He's so amazing.
He seemed to like the nickname "Mister Husband." The next day, he sent Bai Wu Chang to find me, asking him to accompany me to see the layout of Hai Yan Lou.
It's been a long time since I last saw Qiyey. I'm so nervous, my hands are shaking and I can barely hold the compass steady.
Bai Wu Chang laughed and said, "Little Lady, the Emperor truly loves you. To have sent me to be your attendant."
"I was about to cry: “Great Master Qiye, I'll burn more offerings for you when I get back as a thank you for your hard work.”
Bai Wu Chang smiled mischievously —'s recorded 24 hours a day. Even the disciples of the Shen family can only sit outside and guard, separated by a screen. They couldn't hear clearly."I let out a long sigh. I didn't hear clearly, which...
