Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 332

Tan Wenbin led Xu Ming and Chen Jing up the mountain.

Although he knew in his heart that Xiao Yuan wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of, and Zhao Yi had reassured him over the phone, Tan Wenbin still didn't dare to delay at all on the way.

Xu Ming and Chen Jing were even more proactive than Tan Wenbin. They kept Zhao Yi's instructions in mind and were determined to seize the opportunity to perform well.

Despite their hurried pace, the three of them were still too late.

Along the path from the first platform to the main hall, there are many dismembered corpses of varying shapes, none of them intact.

Because during the previous battles, the Yin spirits resided in stone statues, which were burly and had large, rough fists. The results of their battles were bound to be unpleasant.

Runsheng was carrying a headless lion on his shoulder and a large bamboo basket he had found on the mountain. He was rummaging through the carcasses, throwing the animal carcasses into the basket.

Chen Jing: "Brother Runsheng!"

Runsheng looked up at him, then handed a basket of animal carcasses directly to Chen Jing:

"you eat."

Chen Jing swallowed hard, momentarily forgetting to reach out and take it.

Runsheng: "I won't eat it."

Chen Jing: "Brother Yi taught me how to extract essence blood from the corpses of demonic beasts."

In previous experiments, they would collect some blood from the pets left behind by Sun Yan, make a small bowl of it, place it in front of Chen Jing, and then have Chen Jing extract and absorb it.

He hasn't properly extracted anything from the monster's corpse yet, let alone the fact that most of the corpses in this bamboo basket aren't even in the shape of beasts, and are even intertwined.

Xu Ming walked over and glanced at it, saying, "This is a bit difficult for A-Jing. We need to distinguish them first, then clean them, and then categorize them..."

Xu Ming hadn't participated in the first two waves of the war, and was instead assigned by Zhao Yi to take care of and mentor Chen Jing. Naturally, he had a very clear understanding of Chen Jing's current state and abilities.

Runsheng handed the bamboo basket to Xu Ming, who took it. Then Runsheng threw the lion at Xu Ming, who caught it with his head. His head passed right through the broken lion's body and emerged from its neck, like he was wearing a lion costume from an amusement park, though it was a bit too bloody.

Shaking off the bloodstains from his hands, Runsheng looked at Chen Jing but didn't say anything.

The prey was served, but people complained that it was dirty, messy, and hard to eat.

Runsheng, who has always valued food, dislikes this kind of behavior.

Tan Wenbin walked over, glanced at the lion costume on Xu Ming, and asked:
Where's the head?

Runsheng: "It's crushed."

Tan Wenbin: "That's such a pity."

Runsheng: "I'm not a monkey, so I can't use monkey brains."

Tan Wenbin: "You can make lion's head meatballs, absolutely authentic."

Runsheng paused for a moment, then nodded: "Right, I forgot."

Xu Ming sniffed the lion scent on his body, first showing surprise, then delight, and exclaimed excitedly, "This lion is extraordinary..."

Tan Wenbin patted Xu Ming on the shoulder: "Then help A Jing absorb it as soon as possible. You can be a little aggressive. Don't worry about problems. Although the other teams aren't here, the main team is."

Xu Ming didn't refute, and simply said, "Okay."

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng walked inside together.

"Runsheng, did the process go smoothly?"

"Yeah, it's not very strong."

Tan Wenbin could tell that Runsheng was still a little unsatisfied.

The boy sat on the steps below the main hall, holding a can of Jianlibao in his hand.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, Xu Ming is already helping Chen Jing 'eat'."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded and pointed to the main hall behind him: "Brother Binbin, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey." Tan Wenbin rubbed his hands together excitedly. "This is my favorite part."

Tan Wenbin walked past the boy and reached the threshold of the main hall.

He straightened his clothes, then his eyes narrowed, revealing snake-like pupils and an air of majesty; with every gesture, wisps of azure ox energy emanated from him, and he stood solemnly.

As he stepped across the threshold, a warm yet reserved smile appeared on his lips.

Inside the main hall, a group of weak lamp flames swayed with Tan Wenbin's steps.

The surrender has already been made; everyone's previous "betrayal" can be considered a kind of pledge of allegiance.

However, the new order and operating system of the officials and generals need to be discussed, no, promulgated from scratch.

This concerns everyone's future development, and no Yin deity can afford to be indifferent to it.

Tan Wenbin didn't rush to greet the spirits, but went straight to the golden statue of the Bodhisattva.

This Bodhisattva has a dignified appearance and kind eyes, but he is a bit arrogant.

Tan Wenbin knew that Xiao Yuan had not communicated with Sun Baishen beforehand, but there was a natural understanding between the two.

To be more specific, it is in complete alignment with the common interests of both parties.

Tan Wenbin lit the incense, then bowed three times after the incense burned out, and finally inserted the three broken incense sticks into the incense burner in front of the golden statue.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Wenbin turned around and looked at the statues of gods hanging in front of him.

"Everyone..."

The hall fell silent instantly as countless invisible gazes fell upon Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin took out a folded notebook from his pocket:

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. I will emphasize the places that need to be changed, and I will reiterate the things that can remain unchanged."

Logically, once the new regulations are established, a few typical cases of wrongdoing should be identified and severely punished.

I wasn't trying to be unconventional; I'll definitely try my best to find fault with everything.

Please be careful.

Okay, now I'll go over the new regulations with you one by one.

If everyone agrees that there are no issues, then let's quickly move on to the next point;
If any of these points raise any concerns, please don't hold back; feel free to voice your opinions so we can brainstorm and revise accordingly.

Then, those who raise objections can...

He died.

Tan Wenbin flicked his hand, and the folded book opened. After landing with a "thud," it continued to extend forward, stretching very, very long.

The reading continued until dusk.

There are many rules, and they are very detailed. Although they were compiled by Tan Wenbin himself, they also contain the wisdom of Lin Shuyou.

However, as long as the overall distribution of merit increases, these spirits don't care about the increased rules.

Moreover, after reading out the rules, Tan Wenbin added a "future outlook" session.

This is not baseless speculation or empty promises. The Yin spirits present have existed for a long time, and they are well aware that if the current new model continues to develop, as long as it is not interrupted by external forces, the next few decades will be a period of vigorous development for the Guanjiangshou.

The combination of immediate benefits and long-term prospects is enough to win over these evil spirits.

No matter which faction you side with, they could never offer such tempting terms.

Because Li Zhuiyuan had no intention of profiting from this, but instead helped them overthrow the previous Bodhisattva and replace him with a "new Bodhisattva" who they believed should not hand over merits.

The reason the young man took action to discipline the officials and generals was...

Firstly, there's the need to increase income; secondly, there's the need to work part-time for oneself in the future.
Secondly, it is a reward for Lin Shuyou, who has always been diligent and hardworking.

Of course, we can also add two more vague reasons:

One reason is to strike at the power of the Bodhisattva, which is in line with the interests of Heaven and the Great Emperor. Moreover, the Bodhisattva had once plotted against him.

Another point is that Li Zhuiyuan disliked from the beginning the phenomenon that the spirits did not regard the spirit mediums as human beings.

Tan Wenbin folded the notebook up and slapped it in his palm with a "smack," creating an effect similar to that of a gavel.

He then casually made a joke:

"Alright, court adjourned."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The statues made a unified sound.

They had already realized that the boy was an existence that could not be defied, and that the one before them was the one who actually controlled their future destinies.

Therefore, it's unclear which Yin spirit retained too many memories from their past life to start the trend, but all the Yin spirits followed suit:
"Majestic!"

"Majestic!"

Tan Wenbin smiled.

As you grow stronger, you'll find that everyone you encounter is a lovely person, or even a lovely god.

In this situation, combined with the arrogant attitude of the boy when they first met the official, they suddenly realized that they had followed Brother Yuan for such a long time.

He turned around, walked down the stairs, and came to the foot of the main hall.

Tan Wenbin had deliberately not released the "loyal generals" imprisoned here before, because things had to be arranged in batches.

The people imprisoned here realized that a major change had occurred above, and after waiting for a long time, they finally saw the appearance of a new "leader".

Tan Wenbin moved a chair over, sat down, and continued to keep them in a "prisoner" state while talking to them.

The old temple will be removed from its influence on the secular Guanjiangshou Temple and downgraded from its original "ancestral temple" to a Guanjiangshou Children's Palace specifically responsible for the training of young spirit mediums.

In addition, the Lin family will also move into the old temple, which will be considered as taking over and becoming the core.

This is essentially equivalent to "Lin Family Temple" being incorporated into the main lineage from a minor branch. "Lin Family Temple" is not divided into two branches: Chen Shoumen represents the lineage of secular officials and generals, while the Lin family represents the lineage of the ancestral temple, but both belong to the Nantong faction.

Tan Wenbin treated the people imprisoned here very well. Those who wanted to stay and manage the old temple were allowed to stay, while those who did not were free to go down the mountain to open a temple in the secular world. He did not stop them.

Ultimately, the vast majority of people chose to stay at the old temple, while a small number decided to go down the mountain.

There were no people who vowed to resist to the death, because the bodhisattva was still the bodhisattva, and the officials were still officials. As long as the facade remained, these "loyal generals" could comfort themselves.

This is the advantage of holding the moral high ground: it allows you to transform and absorb the opponent's power with maximum efficiency.

Unlike that idiot Di Ting, who insisted on forcing everyone's heads to recognize a beast as their leader.

After opening the cages and releasing the prisoners, Tan Wenbin went outside the hall.

After arranging things here, he still needs to go to the Lin Family Temple to make some more arrangements.

The Dragon King shouts from the bow of his ship; isn't that what he has to do?
There's a sleeping bag outside; Xiao Yuan must have taken a nap there, but he's not here now.

Chen Jing ate a "hodgepodge" meal and developed a problem.

The ferocity of the demonic beast before its tragic death remained in its blood. Coupled with the fact that it had eaten such a mixed diet, and that the powerful lion was also present, it was no surprise that when Chen Jing extracted and absorbed the essence blood, he... went into a state of demonic possession.

Xu Ming placed his hands on Chen Jing's shoulders, and vines grew up to bind and suppress him.

Li Zhuiyuan brought his index and middle fingers together and placed them on Chen Jing's forehead.

However, that kind of unconscious violence was nothing compared to the personality influence that Li Zhuiyuan had previously suffered.

After successfully reversing the secret technique of the Black Book at the Zhao family ancestral home, Li Zhuiyuan has completely opened up new avenues in this field.

Chen Jing's current situation is extremely critical in the eyes of others, but to the boy, it is just like collecting some more feed and throwing it into the fishpond that has become deserted after the last use.

Soon, Chen Jing's eyes regained their clarity.

"Thank you... Brother Yuan."

"It's okay, you can keep eating."

Standing behind, Xu Ming's face was filled with undisguised shock. When did such a dangerous and troublesome matter as qi deviation become so easy to resolve?
Chen Jing continued to absorb the essence of the demons, and this time, with Brother Yuan by his side, he no longer held back.

Next, every time Chen Jing began to show signs of going berserk, Li Zhuiyuan would take action and remove the feed.

I also took a look at Chen Jing.

It's clear that Zhao Yi truly cares for this child and is willing to invest heavily in him.

Zhao Yi transformed Chen Jing into a sturdy reservoir, waiting for the Yu family's wave to swallow a large one and fill the reservoir completely.

At that time, Zhao Yi will have a team foundation that can rival Runsheng's.

Zhao Yi did not overlook the hidden dangers here; any method of quickly gaining power would come with extremely terrible side effects.

Li Zhuiyuan suspected that Zhao Yi had factored his involvement into his calculations.

That guy had been wanting me to clean up his mess for a long time.

Li Zhuiyuan was not angry about this.

He dislikes relationships that are too superficial; the true foundation for a stable relationship lies in the ability for both parties to continuously benefit from each other.

After absorbing the nutrients, Chen Jing was covered in sweat.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Xu Ming and said, "Alright, take him back and let Zhao Yi teach him how to master the new power."

Xu Ming: "Okay. Um... do you need my help to repair the damaged parts here?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "No need."

Xu Ming: "Oh, then I'll take A-Jing back."

Chen Jing was carried on Xu Ming's back.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry; he truly wanted to take a piece of cloud with him.

Li Zhuiyuan: "After we return to Nantong, I will give a book on health preservation to Lao Tian, ​​and then Lao Tian will pass it on to you. That book is very suitable for you. After you have practiced it and achieved results, it will give your vines an extra boost in strengthening your foundation and nourishing your vital energy."

Xu Ming paused, then his face lit up with joy.

His position in the team was already awkward, otherwise Zhao Yi wouldn't have arranged for him to take care of the child. Once Chen Jing rises to prominence, he will completely lose his position.

If Lao Tian can't join the team now, but he can switch roles and provide some defensive capabilities as well as healing to his teammates, then his position in the team will become stable again.

"Thank you, thank you, Young Master Li, thank you, Brother Xiao Yuan."

In the martial arts world, being taught and imparting knowledge is a great favor; it wouldn't be too much to kneel down and kowtow in gratitude.

In fact, Xu Ming planned to put Chen Jing aside first and then do this himself.

But seeing the impatience in the boy's eyes, he immediately stopped and carried Chen Jing down the mountain.

Tan Wenbin: "The other teams are going to be grinning from ear to ear this time."

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is in preparation for our upcoming trip to the Yu family."

Both Chen Jing's and Xu Ming's improvements will become new advantages for our side in the wave against the Yu family.

Whenever he thought of the Yu family, that hand would reappear in the young man's mind.

Grandma Liu had told herself that the top forces in the martial arts world were already preparing to take action against the Yu family, and that the forces of Heaven were gathering momentum towards them time and time again.

Even the two generals, Zeng and Sun, knew that joining the Yu family... would lead to no future.

For some reason, the boy felt a pang of fear because of that hand.

He had a premonition that the Yu family's downfall wouldn't be so simple.

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan, everything here is settled. Next, we should head to Linjiamiao."

Li Zhuiyuan:
"Okay, let's go to Ayou's house."

……

The Lin Family Temple underwent a dramatic transformation due to Lin Shuyou's return. The new system of spirit writing, the merger of the three small temples by the Lin family and other families, and the efforts to win over other temples—all these tasks fell on the shoulders of Lin Fu'an and Chen Shoumen.

Lin Fu'an was alright; since kowtowing to his grandson... Lord Zhenjun, his injuries had significantly improved, and he was able to hold on. Chen Shoumen, as the temple master, was already bedridden with serious injuries, and the busy work caused him to vomit blood several times.

But soon, another major issue presented itself to Lin Fu'an and Chen Shoumen. Compared to this, the other matters were temporarily forgotten.

Lin Shuyou relayed: That person is coming to the temple.

Lin Fu'an sat in a chair, while Chen Shoumen leaned against the bed. The two stared at each other, neither of them speaking.

Lin Shuyou was sitting on another bed, already asleep and snoring.

There was nothing he could do. His grandfather and master invited him to a meeting, but they just sat there without saying a word, and Lin Shuyou couldn't stand it any longer.

Recently, the Lin family has been very active, and spirit writing has been frequent. Lin Shuyou, who is in the same body as the spirit child, is experiencing this kind of "summoning" for the first time, so it is inevitable that he will feel a little uncomfortable and tired.

Finally, after a long silence, Chen Shoumen's chest bulged and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Fu'an was so frightened that he immediately got up and helped the patient expel blood and regulate his breathing.

"Guard the gate..."

He wanted to tell his apprentice to take a break, but the words wouldn't come out.

Because the real secret is known only to the two of them, there's no way to find a third person to share it with.

Chen Shoumen: "Master, you should be the one to come up with the plan for this matter."

Lin Fu'an frowned deeply.

A grand welcome and hospitality might displease that person.

But if we simplify things, we're afraid that person might feel slighted.

The Dragon King's family was already a high and mighty clan, something the Lin family temple had never even dared to dream of before. In addition, their family was now completely dependent on that person, who was equivalent to the "master" of the Lin family temple.

Lin Fu'an: "Guarding the gate? Don't laugh at me, but even I, your master, wasn't this terrified when I was dealing with my own grandfather."

Chen Shoumen: "How can our patriarch be compared to this one?"

Lin Fu'an wasn't angry; he just nodded awkwardly, "Indeed."

Chen Shoumen: "Master, if we don't make a decision soon, it will be too late to prepare."

Lin Fu'an turned his head, looked at Lin Shuyou, and called out, "Ayou!"

"Uh-huh?"

Lin Shuyou rubbed his eyes and opened them.

Lin Fu'an: "We'll listen to you. Tell us, how should we entertain that person?"

Lin Shuyou: "Grandpa, Master, didn't I say that I would treat you like a college classmate who comes to visit my home?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fu'an and Chen Shoumen both twitched their eyelids.

Is this something to be taken lightly? If things go wrong, this current favorable situation could be completely ruined.

Lin Fu'an gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh hard:
"Let's do as Ayou says!"

……

Early this morning, before dawn, Lin Fu'an sat at the entrance of the inner hall and began drinking tea.

From morning to noon and then to afternoon, he drank pot after pot of tea. As he got older, he couldn't hold his urine for long, and he was afraid that guests would arrive while he was going to the toilet. So Lin Fu'an had to force himself to hold it in each time. When he really couldn't hold it in anymore, he would rush to relieve himself, and then jog back to sit down, pick up his teacup, and continue drinking tea.

Lin Fu'an's son, who is also Lin Shuyou's father, was assigned to sweep the floor in the inner courtyard.

He had been sweeping for most of the day, but the old man instructed him to keep sweeping and not to sweep away all the fallen leaves; he had to keep sweeping.

Mr. Lin really wanted to touch the old man's forehead to check his temperature, but faced with the old man's sharp gaze when he was holding back his urine, he ultimately didn't have the courage.

Behind the inner hall was the temple building. Chen Shoumen was lying on a couch at the entrance of the temple building, with a table in front of him containing scriptures and divination sticks.

He was a bit more comfortable than the old man, since he was in the back and could hold the calligraphy brush in his left hand and press the divination tube with his right, dozing off with his eyes half-closed.

Today, the worshippers at the temple were diverted in advance, and those entering the main gate were directed by the temple disciples to take a different path for burning incense and praying for blessings.

At the temple gate, Lin's mother stood holding a full basket of vegetables.

As for Lin Shuyou, he was asked to sit at a herbal tea shop opposite the temple gate and drink herbal tea.

Lin Shuyou rested his elbows on the table, his palms supporting his chin, his back to the temple gate, and then fell asleep.

He's been incredibly sleepy lately.

Moreover, he genuinely felt there was no need to be formal with Brother Yuan and the others.

However, Ayou didn't take it to heart, but Tongzi did.

Upon noticing the arrival of a guest, she immediately activated Ayou's vertical pupils.

"Buzz!"

"Pfft..."

Lin Shuyou crushed the table he was standing on, and the dishes that had been on it shattered on the ground.

Tan Wenbin: "This is a custom in Fuzhou, a way to welcome guests, wash away the dust of travel, and wish for peace and safety?"

Lin Shuyou closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, his vertical pupils were closed.

"Brother Bin, Brother Runsheng, Brother Xiaoyuan!"

Tan Wenbin was carrying a large cake, while Runsheng followed behind him carrying two large bags of incense and candles.

The cake was for the old man's birthday celebration, and the incense and candles were for the temple.

Tan Wenbin scolded irritably, "I thought you'd grown up, that you'd come up with a reason to Grandpa Li that it was your grandfather's 80th birthday, but it turns out your grandfather really was 80!"

Lin Shuyou: "It's because my grandfather was born at the right time."

Tan Wenbin looked at the cake in his hand: "There wasn't enough time to make it fresh, so I had someone put it together for me. There's even a peach wrapped around it inside."

If you had told me earlier, I could have brought back some Nantong specialties when I left.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, the Nantong specialties I brought back from my last Chinese New Year trip were never eaten by anyone in my family."

Tan Wenbin: "It's a token of my appreciation. Um, why don't you go home now and steal those local specialties, then I'll take them inside?"

Lin Shuyou: "We can't steal it anymore."

Tan Wenbin: "What's wrong?"

Lin Shuyou: "Now he's being worshipped by my grandpa and the others."

Tan Wenbin: "Alright, alright, come inside. Runsheng and I are hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Lin Shuyou: "Yes, my mom goes to buy groceries before dawn."

Tan Wenbin: "I'm so sorry to have made you prepare the meal so early and wait for us to eat."

Lin Shuyou: "The food hasn't been cooked yet. My mom is still standing in the same spot inside the temple gate with her vegetable basket."

The four entered the temple gate.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a woman carrying a vegetable basket walk past me.

Lin's mother: "Ayou, who are they?"

Lin Shuyou: "Mom, they are my classmates."

Lin's mother: "Oh, it's your classmate who's here. What a coincidence, I just came back from grocery shopping this morning... this afternoon... this afternoon."

"You and your classmates play for a while, I'll go cook dinner right away, and I'll call you when it's ready."

Lin Shuyou: "Okay, Mom."

Tan Wenbin: "Thank you for your help, Auntie."

"No trouble at all, haha, no trouble at all."

Lin's mother smiled and walked towards the kitchen. After taking only a few steps, she swayed, her legs going numb. But she still managed to steady herself and moved forward step by step.

Everyone could only pretend they hadn't seen it.

Led by Ayou, the group continued walking inside.

Upon reaching the round gate, Lin's father asked, "Ayou, who are they?"

Lin Shuyou: "Dad, they are my classmates."

Lin's father: "Oh, my classmate is here, hahaha, good... ouch!"

Mr. Lin tried to straighten up, but found he couldn't. He could only continue sweeping, looking like a seasoned hunchback.

As you walk through the round gate, you see Lin Fu'an holding a teacup and drinking tea.

"Ah~ Smash."

Savoring the tea with satisfaction, I looked forward, then slowly turned back, as if I had just noticed.

"Ah You, who are they?"

"Grandpa, they are my classmates."

"Alright, since you've come all this way as a guest, you must treat them well."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Tan Wenbin, carrying a cake, said, "Grandpa, I wish you boundless happiness and longevity!"

Lin Fu'an: "Hehe, good, good, good!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hello, sir."

Lin Fu'an's body went limp, but luckily he braced himself on the coffee table with one hand and gripped the armrest of the chair tightly with the other, which prevented him from collapsing to his knees.

"Hello, young student."

As they continued walking in, Chen Shoumen opened his eyes as he passed the temple entrance. He started rolling the divination stick container, and with a "whoosh," a very auspicious divination stick was thrown out the door.

Chen Shoumen: "Good fortune is upon you, auspicious stars shine upon you, great blessings protect you, and your future is bright!"

Li Zhuiyuan bent down, picked up the stick, and handed it back to the table.

Chen Shoumen's body began to tremble, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was trying hard to hold it in, afraid that it would spill out.

Li Zhuiyuan pressed his right index finger against Chen Shoumen's forehead and said:

"Be still and focus your mind."

Chen Shoumen's body stiffened, and he immediately replied:

"Yes."

When the boy withdrew his finger, Chen Shoumen felt that the frustration and irritability caused by his injury and anxiety had completely subsided, and he felt much more relaxed.

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you overwork yourself, you will damage your foundation and shorten your lifespan."

Chen Shoumen: "Thank you..."

Li Zhuiyuan turned and walked out of the temple before Chen Shoumen could continue speaking.

The group arrived at Lin Shuyou's room.

While pouring tea for everyone, Lin Shuyou said, "Today I really feel like my family has become puppets."

Tan Wenbin: "Ah You, you have to understand them, it's not easy for them either."

The meal was prepared very quickly, incredibly efficiently; there must have been someone waiting in the kitchen long ago.

During the meal, Lin Fu'an came in briefly, ate a piece of cake, drank a glass of wine offered by Tan Wenbin, and then left, saying he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of your class reunion.

Seeing that the old man was still injured, Li Zhuiyuan didn't show it anymore and focused on eating the lychee flesh in front of him.

After the meal, Tan Wenbin lit a cigarette and went out alone.

Tan Wenbin didn't return until late at night when it was time for supper.

Tan Wenbin: "Ah You, how long do you plan to stay at home?"

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, I just told Brother Xiaoyuan that I want to go back to Nantong as soon as possible."

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, it's because we're here that your family is feeling uncomfortable."

Lin Shuyou: "Actually, I felt a little uncomfortable before you guys came."

"Isn't this the feeling you've always dreamed of?"

"Dreams and reality are ultimately different."

"Alright, then we'll go back tomorrow."

"Brother Bin, have you finished talking with my grandfather and master?"

“It was all discussed a long time ago. Your grandfather and your master are both very intelligent.”

"We finished talking a long time ago, so why are you only coming back now?"

"Oh, I talked to them about your boyfriend."

……

Siyuan Village, Shinan Town.

Liu Yumei sat in front of the altar in the east room, looking down at the letter that Aunt Liu had just brought her. Aunt Liu spoke:

"Madam, they can't wait any longer."

"Yes, everyone wants a taste of the Dragon King's flesh, and the other sects are no exception."

"The turmoil this has caused will certainly not be small."

Liu Yumei tossed the letter aside, gently rubbed her temples, and said:

“Reply to those guys again, saying that our family is not interested in the Yu family’s affairs and will not interfere.”

“Mistress, I am worried that this storm will cause the river to... Such examples are not uncommon in the past.”

Are you worried that Xiaoyuan and the others will get involved?

"Ah."

"That's alright. We'll make our own statement, and Xiao Yuan can do what they want. Our family's river-traveling people have come this far, and the world is still quiet."

"That's true. I've been keeping an eye out for secrets and news in the martial arts world, but I still haven't been able to find any trace of our Xiao Yuan."

"Has the Qin family ancestral home settled down recently?"

"It's all settled now. After a bit of a commotion, Ali took some time to go back and everything's quiet now."

"Then you should also take some time to go back to the Liu family's ancestral home for a visit."

"Yes."

Liu Yumei waved her hand, and Aunt Liu left the east room.

"Ah……"

The old lady looked up at the brand-new memorial tablets on the offering table.
Road:
"To be honest, I'm really looking forward to seeing how much of the Yu family's resources are left. Even if they have very little left, it's enough to cause a lot of trouble in the martial arts world."

Just then, Li Sanjiang's hearty laughter came from the threshing floor outside:

"Hahaha, the mules are all back!"

-

I'll add more words to this short chapter tomorrow.

(End of this chapter)
