Assistant Fang politely bowed to me.The entire office space is very grand, but lacks any human touch. It's cold and impersonal, filled with standardized decor. Mr. Lin's office is particularly exagge...He looked a bit tired, rubbing his eyes with a weary expression.

I couldn't help but say, "Take care of yourself."

Lin Yanhuan was taken aback and chuckled, "I should be the one saying that, Xiao Qiao. As a pregnant woman, you should take good care of your health."

"I'm fine, just bored all day. You look tired though, no wonder Yan Qin feels sorry for you every time she talks about you."

Lin Yanhuan smiled and glanced around me, asking, "Where's your husband"

“… Hmm.” I pointed to Jiang Qiyun beside me.

In Lin Yanhuan's view, I had no one around me. It felt awkward for him to talk to the air, so he turned to me and said, "I'd rather communicate with you directly."

He took out a piece of paper from the inside pocket of his clothes. On it, some words were scribbled hastily.

"The basic information about this organization is above. Once we go against them, don't be hasty. We need to gradually squeeze their living space like Yun Fan is doing, that's the only way to eradicate such a cancerous organization." Lin Yanhuan said briefly.

I folded the paper and nodded.

"Yan Qin said you went to cultivate, how come I feel like you haven't suffered at all, but rather gotten plumper and whiter" Lin Yanhuan looked at me with a smile.

What Is there

I couldn't help but raise my hand to touch my cheek, have I gained weight

"No way... It's that obvious" I mumbled.

"How come not" Lin Yanhuan suddenly raised her hand, pretending to pinch my cheek.

I was so scared that I jumped, the temperature around me dropped suddenly, and goosebumps popped up all over my skin!

Jiang Qiyun almost instantly materialized, reaching out to seize Lin Yanhuan's wrist.

Lin Yanhuan's fingers hovered a foot in front of my face.

He smirked and turned to Jiang Qiyun, saying, “I thought you wouldn't show up.”

"What's up, what's up You have something to do with Jiang Qiyun" The atmosphere was a bit weird.

Lin Yanhuan retracted her hand and chuckled softly, "It's not easy for mortals to meet a celestial being, especially your husband. Even when he's by your side, he won't appear easily... Divine one, may I have a word with you in private"

He looked at Jiang Qiyun.

"Sounds good," Jiang Qiyun's face remained calm. Apart from his refusal to let him touch me just now, his expression showed no fluctuation whatsoever, still — cold as ice.

However, his attitude towards Lin Yanhuan was "slightly" different from others — no matter which era's temple or ancestral shrine, heaven and earth would have some special privileges.

Jiang Qiyun turned to me and said, "Go back to the car and tell Lin Yanhuan's people to take these two away. Don't touch them."

"Understood." I nodded.

They walked aside to talk, and my brother had already directed the bodyguards to clean up the battlefield.

A bodyguard wearing gloves, was putting the burnt snakes into a snake skin bag, and looked up to my brother and said, "Uncle, these snakes are all cooked, can we eat them"

"Holy crap, you didn't eat dinner You want to eat this unidentified poison! Absolutely not!" My brother's eyes widened.

That bodyguard smirked and said, "Back when my brothers were fighting terrorism on the border, catching snakes was like a bonus meal. We didn't care if they were poisonous or not. We just took their gallbladders, removed their venom glands, and chopped off their heads and tails."

My brother said seriously, "Brother, you really can't eat this. This is for raising insects, have you heard of it Eating it will bring bad luck for eight generations."

The bodyguard looked terrified and showed a disgusted expression: "Nephew, how can you always do such dangerous things What if the young lady finds out"

Another bodyguard captain said, "Where do you get so many words You even worry about your uncle's ability to coax his wife! Just pack up quickly and go check if there's enough fuel for a long flight!"

The bodyguard grunted and bowed his head to work. I watched them get along well with my brother, and I thought to myself that my brother must have bribed them, otherwise how could they be so friendly, speaking so casually.

My brother is very good at dealing with people. He knows how to talk to people, and he knows how to talk to ghosts. He's very clear-headed and can tell friend from foe.

After the bodyguards got to work, my brother ran back to the car and said to me, “Xiao Qiao, what are those two big shots talking about over there”

"I don't know either…"

"Why don't you just go over there and eavesdrop openly" My brother rubbed his chin, looking through the car window.

Jiang Qiyun and Lin Yanhuan stood aside, one with his hands behind his back facing the late wind, the other with his hands in his pockets and tilting his head slightly.

My brother shook his head and sighed, "This is called realm, you see Realm. These two big shots just stand anywhere, and their aura spreads for two kilometers."

I helplessly looked at my brother: "So you're still asking me to eavesdrop Standing between these two, I can't hold on... Their aura is crushing me in minutes."

My brother leaned on the steering wheel and said seriously, "I bet ten kidneys, it's related to that organization."

"...You have ten kidneys"

"Don't be ridiculous! Seriously, what kind of organization is this They're reaching too far, casting a wide net, and even started going after the Mu and Shen families. The Lin family can't possibly ignore this, especially when it comes to smuggling artifacts. Mr. Lin, their patriarch, will be taking office at the end of the year! That old man is super obsessed with protecting national treasures. Every time we talk on the phone, he reminds me to do my best to recover valuable artifacts for the country."

My brother frowned and said, "But I feel like confronting this organization head-on right now isn't a good idea. We're too passive... They're desperate criminals, and we have families to protect. We're all just half-full bottles and can't stand alone."

“Yeah, Lin Yanhuan just said the same thing, we need to take things slowly... I'll take these two girls, big and small, back to Nanshan. Mu Wanchen has a prison there, he's a master of Gu worms, maybe he can help me.”

"If I keep bothering him like this, he'll probably get angry."

I thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be. He respects Jiang Qiyun very much; he basically listens to whatever Jiang Qiyun says."

My brother clicked his tongue and smiled, "It seems like your secluded life is quite comfortable."

In the distance, I saw the river rise and nod.

Okay, what agreement have these two big shots reached this time.

When Jiang Qiyun came back, I immediately asked him, "What did you guys talk about Can you give me a little hint"

Both my brother and I were eagerly waiting to hear the gossip.

"As for worldly affairs, you should keep out of them. When you have free time, focus on learning spells and Taoist principles. Leave these matters to your older brother to worry about."

My brother sold me out immediately just to hear some gossip.

"Right, right, Qiao'er, you just focus on taking care of yourself and your cultivation. We men will take care of these things. Brother-in-law, tell me, I keep my mouth shut tight!"that he didn't understand how to interact with people or speak eloquently, because from childhood to adulthood, he was always held up by others And they wouldn't dare scheme against his family.Look at...
