Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 441

The Chen family of Qiongya.

The willows in the courtyard of the ancestral hall are fresh and green.

Since it was implanted here, it has received meticulous care from Grandpa Chen.

The prayer mats that should have been placed inside were instead placed outside the ancestral hall.

Old Master Chen knelt on a prayer mat, with an incense burner placed in front of him.

He held the incense stick in his hand, flicked it gently, and the incense spontaneously combusted.

After being inserted into the incense burner, the wisps of white smoke all drifted towards Old Master Chen himself, as if an invisible barrier was preventing the incense from entering.

Grandpa Chen remained unmoved and continued to perform the ceremony on his own.

The old lady of the Chen family walked in.

Grandpa Chen: "Xi Yuan is gone."

Madam Chen: "I cooked her a pot of sour rice noodles, and she left after she finished eating them."

Grandpa Chen: "Hehe, a thousand words from family members can't compare to a phone call from someone else. Sigh, daughters grow up and leave home."

Madam Chen: "Xi Yuan said something to me, and I think she meant for me to convey it to you."

Old Master Chen: "Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Madam Chen: "Xi Yuan said she has done her best."

"That's it?"

"She said she knew his style of doing things, and even if nothing was mentioned, the fact that he made the call meant that he was willing to compromise."

"Wow, what an arrogant tone."

Clearly, Mr. Chen was not referring to his granddaughter.

“Xi Yuan said she has done right by the Chen family. This matter has changed from the death of the entire Chen family to the death of only one grandfather.”

"Hahahaha!"

Old Master Chen burst into laughter, showing no sign of anger.

The old lady of the Chen family said: "My granddaughter is just simple-minded. She is not stupid. She has always been very smart."

Grandpa Chen: "Indeed."

Old Madam Chen: "Old man, shouldn't I start preparing for your funeral in advance?"

Old Master Chen: "We've been husband and wife for a while, why are you in such a hurry?"

Old Mrs. Chen: "I don't want things to fall apart after you leave."

Grandpa Chen: "That's good."

The old lady of the Chen family suddenly raised her voice and said:

"You two, grandfather and grandson, have both been keeping things from me. I don't know exactly what happened, but I really can't stand seeing you like this."

You either go and kowtow to admit your mistake, or I'll go with you.

Or...

The old lady of the Chen family didn't say the second half of her sentence. Her gaze fell on the willow tree, and her eyes silently reddened.

Although she didn't know the truth of the matter, she knew whose house her granddaughter was visiting at the time of the incident.

Old Madam Chen: "Go and admit your mistake. Let's go together and explain things clearly."

Old Master Chen licked his lips, looked up at the clear blue sky above, and let out a long sigh:
"But I don't know who I should apologize to."

I don't even know what's right and wrong.

"So you're just going to keep waiting, waiting for someone to come to your door one day and give you an explanation?"
Chen Ping said, "You really haven't changed at all. You've been like this since you were young, always waiting, always timid and submissive, always waiting for others to come to you."

Old Master Chen seemed to have given up all hope, spreading his arms wide and grinning as he said:

"Yes, that's just how I am."

The old lady of the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly no longer wanting to speak, and turned around to leave.

Grandpa Chen immediately followed, and seeing the sorrow in his wife's eyes and the desolation on her face, he said with heartache:
"What's going on? Should we continue?"

The old lady of the Chen family remained silent.

Grandpa Chen, using a high-pitched voice, imitated his wife's tone and called out:
"I must have been blind to have ever fallen for such a good-for-nothing!"

……

"Drive slower."

"okay."

"Slow down."

"Okay, Brother Bin."

"You're still driving too fast."

"But……"

Lin Shuyou really didn't know how to step on the gas now, because the old man riding the tricycle next to him with an elderly woman on the back had already overtaken his little pickup truck.

Tan Wenbin sat in the back row, holding a compass in his left hand and making hand seals with his right. There was a small brazier between his legs, burning some related traces that had been found in the looted ancient tomb.

However, although the pathfinding incense was drawn out, its location was elusive and difficult to pinpoint.

At first, Tan Wenbin doubted that his skill level was insufficient, and that he could not be as relaxed and carefree as Xiao Yuan.

Then, he began to suspect that the car was moving too fast, and the excessive speed was interfering with the guidance of the talisman.

After watching the pedestrians on both sides of the car window move forward, Tan Wenbin thought of another possibility.

"Ah You, could the corpse thief we're looking for be somewhere around here?"

Stop the car and turn off the engine.

This is the outskirts of Tongzhou County, a semi-urban area.

To the south is a small town, and to the north are farmlands and houses scattered among them.

The nearest one is a mold manufacturing plant, but it's not a factory; it's more like a separate sand casting workshop, a small, informal workshop.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, is this the place?"

Tan Wenbin: "Let's go in and take a look."

If we compare Xiao Yuan's ability to determine direction to a sharpened pencil poking a point, then Tan Wenbin is like someone who takes a brush dipped in ink and smashes it down hard.

Theoretically speaking, the shops in the southern town and the houses in the surrounding farmland are all within Tan Wenbin's margin of error.

The small workshop was shut down and the gate was locked.

The two climbed over the outer wall and, as soon as they landed, they both realized something was wrong.

Although this damp and cold feeling was extremely subtle and there was nothing that could be specifically analyzed, the sixth sense they had developed since leaving the river made them almost certain that something was wrong.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, you're amazing."

Tan Wenbin nodded calmly.

No wonder Brother Xiaoyuan said: Luck is also part of the deduction.

Inside the factory, piles of raw materials resembling black mud were stacked one after another, like haystacks.

Lin Shuyou walked up to a nearby table, inserted the golden mace into it, and then gently flicked it.

"Crash..."

The black sand slid down, revealing a woman's face.

Tan Wenbin walked to another corpse, inserted his rusty sword, and then pried it open, revealing another body inside.

Using a rusty sword, they pried open the corpse's head to reveal its face more clearly; it was still a female corpse.

Furthermore, the female corpse began to instinctively absorb the resentment on Tan Wenbin's rusty sword.

Tan Wenbin's fingertips trembled, and the resentment was withdrawn, no longer released.

If you continue to inhale, it will most likely cause the corpse to turn into a zombie.

A corpse with such a strong instinct for resentment could not have just died.

Xiao Yuan is right, that guy was consciously collecting things.

Tan Wenbin's earlobe twitched slightly as he said, "A truck is slowing down towards us."

A truck stopped in front of the small workshop, followed by the sound of the door lock being opened, and the truck started up and drove in again.

As a man got out of the driver's seat and prepared to unload the cargo at the back, he looked into the factory and frowned.

Without much beating around the bush, Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou came out straightforwardly.

The man was tall with a sharply defined face. When his gaze fell on the golden mace in Ayou's hand, it seemed he had confirmed the newcomer's identity as a member of the Xuanmen sect.

"Ah……"

After a cold laugh, the man shook his head, snapped his fingers, and walked over.

"Gentlemen, this is my dojo. You have trespassed without permission, which is a taboo in the martial arts world."

Tan Wenbin: "The entire Nantong is the sacred ground of our Corpse Retrieving Li, so who exactly broke the taboo by trespassing without asking questions?"

The man wore a mocking smile, as if he were laughing at the two men's arrogance.

As he drew closer, the veins on his exposed skin bulged, and a unique, oppressive power emanated from him, its fluctuations intense, as if he were powerfully suppressing his emotions.

He walked up to Lin Shuyou, held up a finger, and pointed at Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou raised his golden mace.

He smiled again, revealing his teeth, and opened his palm to grab the golden mace.

Got it empty.

"boom!"

The golden mace smashed into his head.

He knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain, blood streaming down his face.

Tan Wenbin looked at Lin Shuyou.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, I tried my best to stop in time."

The intense fluctuations were not due to restraint, but rather to a shallow foundation of power; the aura emanating from him was not one of pressure, but rather his entire being.

Because he hadn't encountered such a weak opponent in a long time, Lin Shuyou's first move was rather cautious. But even with such caution, it almost smashed the man's head.

Fortunately, Lin Shuyou noticed something was wrong when they made contact, and despite the pain in his wrist, he managed to forcibly retract most of his force.

The man was stunned, his eyes rolling back in his head.

Snake eyes appeared in Tan Wenbin's eyes, and the next moment, the man's consciousness gradually recovered and coalesced.

"You...you...you..."

Many people like to talk about "jianghu" (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world or the underworld), but little do they know that jianghu is stratified, and different people actually belong to different jianghu.

The man's confidence in his own world was shattered by a single blow from Li, the corpse retriever from Nantong.

Tan Wenbin patted his pocket; the cigarettes in his pocket had been smoked earlier in the car while he was anxiously searching for the way.

Lin Shuyou reached into the man's pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, a pack of Yuxi cigarettes.

Ah You opened the cigarette pack, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to take out one for Brother Bin and hand it over, Brother Bin ruthlessly snatched the cigarette from his mouth.

Lin Shuyou was somewhat helpless, so he could only take the lighter and help Brother Bin light his cigarette.

Tan Wenbin took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of smoke toward the man kneeling in front of the two men.

Using the five senses to intimidate is a tactic used in combat, but it also has more sophisticated applications in other areas, such as interrogation.

However, the man's mental defenses were not strong, and they had already crumbled.

The powerful and influential figure on his own mountain, known as "Zuanfeng," was suddenly taken down in one move by a local corpse retriever who appeared out of nowhere. With his life in the hands of this man, anyone would be devastated.

Tan Wenbin: "Where did you come from?"

Man: "Valley of Living People"

Lin Shuyou: "Hmm, that sounds familiar, I think I've heard it before."

Tan Wenbin: "Have you forgotten? We encountered the lamplighter of this generation of Living Valley at your family's ancestral home with three eyes."

Lin Shuyou: "I remember, we fought."

Tan Wenbin: "The formation master in the opposing team still had his head smashed by your mace."

Lin Shuyou: "They all died later, in the ancestral home of the Three-Eyed family."

The man kneeling on the ground listened to this conversation, and the blood on his head, mixed with cold sweat, flowed even faster.

Living Valley, located in Yuxi, Yunnan, also has another name: Ailao Mountain.

As Brother Xiaoyuan once said, the tradition of Living Valley is very similar to that of Fengdu, but with Fengdu Yinsi preceding it, Living Valley can only be called a small hell.

Tan Wenbin: "What do you want to do by coming here to rob graves and retrieve corpses?"

The man said, "It's for sacrificing corpses and refining the corpse pearl."

Tan Wenbin: "Were all these bodies dug up in Nantong?"

Corpses that are old and still so well preserved are generally only found in high-status tombs.

Tan Wenbin didn't think that Nantong's underground resources were so abundant.

The man said, "No, most of them were collected by me from other places and transported to Nantong. I found that in Nantong, when we perform the ritual of sacrificing corpses to refine corpse beads, these corpses will not turn into zombies, making the process safer and simpler."

Tan Wenbin: "They really know how to pick a location."

Man: "Please, please forgive me. I was ignorant and trespassed into your esteemed place. It was my fault. I will never do it again. I will leave right away!"

Lin Shuyou turned to look at Tan Wenbin and found that Brother Bin was thinking.

"Brother Bin?"

"I'm wondering if tomb raiding and desecration of corpses could be punishable by death."

“Brother Bin, he didn’t take any of the burial goods from the tomb. These corpses are too old to be considered citizens.”

"You're actually arguing with me about this?"

"what?"

Tan Wenbin sniffed and looked at the truck: "Ayou, go check the back of the truck. I smell fresh blood."

Lin Shuyou ran over to check.

Tan Wenbin then continued to ask the man, "Why did you change their clothes and then lose one of them and let her fall into the river?"

The man said, "Because before the sacrificial ceremony, the corpses that meet the criteria need to absorb some yang energy, I have to take them for a walk in places with crowds. Yesterday afternoon, I bumped into a little girl who was secretly smoking in an alley."

She spotted me and chased after me. I managed to shake her off, but accidentally dropped the corpse I was carrying into the nearby river.

Little girls smoking are rare, but not uncommon.

But in the entire Nantong, there aren't many people who can spot the problem with this guy at a glance.

"Brother Bin, there's a newly unearthed female corpse and an old man in the car, who looks dead."

Tan Wenbin: "Explain."

The man said, "When I was digging the grave, he was farming nearby and passed by. I told him to leave, but he wouldn't. He even tried to hit me with a hoe, so I decided to invite him to the Valley of the Living."

Even members of orthodox esoteric sects, even those from prestigious and righteous schools, often cease to see themselves as ordinary people once they possess abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Those with a touch of evil are even more so; inviting them to the Valley of the Living is tantamount to killing them on the spot.

Moreover, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this explanation. This was how he saw the martial arts world. For him, cause and effect, no matter how close they were, always felt very distant.

Tan Wenbin nodded: "Alright, I'll also invite you to visit Fengdu."

The rusty sword emerged and pierced directly into the man's face, its resentment forcing the man's soul out of his body.

“Ah You”.

Lin Shuyou opened his mouth, his vertical pupils activated, and the White Crane Boy exerted his power, sucking the soul into his mouth and swallowing it.

Ah-you: "Brother Bin, the boy said that He will thoroughly roast his soul inside his belly, and then completely digest it, making him regret ever having lived in this world."

Tan Wenbin looked around and frowned, asking, "What should we do with the bodies here?"

Lin Shuyou: "Just burn it down. Isn't cremation being promoted now?"

Tan Wenbin: "Actually, this kind of corpse can also be considered a cultural relic."

However, once stripped of its clothes, jewelry, and various burial items, and dressed in contemporary clothing, its cultural value should be greatly diminished.

Lin Shuyou suddenly burped, and a wisp of steam escaped and flew into the truck.

"Brother Bin, he actually sucked the old man's soul into his stomach too."

An old man's hand reached out from inside the truck, and then with a "thud," he fell off the truck. Just as he regained consciousness, he fell unconscious again.

Tan Wenbin looked at Lin Shuyou: "Didn't you find any problems during your previous check?"

Lin Shuyou scratched his head: "So what I meant was, it's like he's dead."

Tan Wenbin walked up to the old man, squatted down, and examined him.

The old man's breathing was very weak, and his soul was moving in and out, which was a torment to the three lamps, but for now, there was no danger to his life.

It has to be said that the old man was incredibly lucky. According to the man, the old man was killed because he saw him robbing a tomb and tried to stop him.

Tan Wenbin found a hammer in the factory and smashed it against the man's face. After getting blood and white on it, he wiped away his fingerprints and placed the hammer handle in the unconscious old man's hand.

He pulled out his old mobile phone and dialed his own father's number.

The disposal of the body and the cleanup of the scene can be left to the police officers.

As expected, in a few days, the local newspapers or television stations will broadcast the news of "Old Farmer Bravely Fights Tomb Robbers".

After listening to the story on the other end of the phone,

Tan Yunlong: "You even wrote the news for me?"

Tan Wenbin: "Maybe the old man's grandson is taking the college entrance exam this year, which could give him extra points."

Tan Yunlong: "You've really thought ahead."

Tan Wenbin: "Alright, Dad, I won't bother you anymore as you're racking your brains for an excuse."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Wenbin waved to Lin Shuyou and said, "Let's go."

Lin Shuyou: "Hehe, I didn't expect this to be resolved so easily."

Tan Wenbin: "Whether it's easy or not depends on who's in charge."

Lin Shuyou proudly puffed out his chest, thinking it was a praise of his own mighty strike, and said, "That's right."

Tan Wenbin: "Ayou."

Lin Shuyou: "Hmm?"

Tan Wenbin: "Go back and copy Xiao Yuan's 'Secret Scroll of Tracing Ancestral Roots' ten times. After you finish copying, remember to burn the manuscript."

Lin Shuyou lowered his head and said, "Oh."

As he stepped out of the factory gate, Tan Wenbin licked his lips: "A cigarette."

Lin Shuyou took out the Yuxi cigarettes, ready to take them out, but the whole pack was taken away by Brother Bin.

"Don't learn bad things instead of good ones; smoking is harmful to your health."

"Snap!" Tan Wenbin took a drag, and as he exhaled the smoke, he pointed with the hand holding the cigarette at Bai Nuo, who was walking towards them in the distance. "Look, this is a case of someone who dies young from smoking."

Bai Nuo seemed to be walking, running, and floating.

She quickly arrived at the factory gate, looked at Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou, and said in disbelief:
"Good heavens, you guys got here before me!"

After seeing this guy walking around with a female corpse yesterday, Bai Nuo has been searching for him ever since.

Tan Wenbin reached out and grabbed the little girl's pigtails, playing with them as he said, "Next time you encounter this situation, please notify us first."

Bai Nuo clenched her fist and said, "I'm confident I can take him down!"

Tan Wenbin tied a knot in the little girl's two pigtails:
"This time it was a minor incident, but if we encounter a ruthless one who's pretending to be weak but actually cunning next time, our clues might start with finding your body."

Bai Nuo: "I've died before, I'm not afraid of dying."

Tan Wenbin: "If I die again, I'll never be able to smoke again."

Bai Nuo: "I won't do it again."

Tan Wenbin: "Hey, I'll give you a ride along the way. Once we get to the other side of the road, you can take the rural bus back to the city."

Not long after the yellow pickup truck drove off, Tan Wenbin saw a convoy of police cars passing by in the opposite direction.

One has to admire the efficiency with which one's own father can come up with excuses; he must have gotten better at it through practice.

Bai Nuo, sitting in the back row, was puffing out smoke.

Lin Shuyou occasionally glanced at her through the rearview mirror and understood the discomfort Bin Ge felt when he saw her wanting to smoke.

Even knowing that the little girl in the back seat was actually much older than her grandmother, seeing how familiar she was with holding a cigarette, she still wanted to slap her.

Bai Nuo: "My son-in-law plans to buy another house."

Tan Wenbin: "You have a lot of people, and you're finding it too crowded. Where are you planning to move to?"

Bai Nuo: "I'm still buying in the same place, either upstairs or downstairs. The main reason is that our building has had two incidents in a row, and many people want to sell their houses."

I will continue to live in the rented house with my son-in-law and sister, while the three of them will live upstairs or downstairs.

The son-in-law said that he and his sister's child would definitely be born in this rented house.

Tan Wenbin nodded.

Although Liang Ge did not enter the Xuanmen sect, and his identity was not suitable for him to do so, he could see many things clearly. Even if he couldn't understand them, his wife knew them perfectly well.

Bai Nuo: "We've put up ads both upstairs and downstairs. The downstairs seller has lowered the price a lot and is sincerely selling. The upstairs seller hasn't lowered the price and says they're waiting for a destined buyer. Hehe, a destined buyer."

At this point, Bai Nuo couldn't help but laugh, and Tan Wenbin laughed too.

Lin Shuyou also wanted to laugh, so he asked, "What's so funny?"

Tan Wenbin: "When buying or selling a house, saying you're waiting for the right person is like saying you're waiting for a great nemesis."

Bai Nuo: "It should have been cheaper because we were destined to meet, but it turned out to be more expensive because we were destined to meet."

Lin Shuyou: "Haha!"

Bai Nuo: "Sigh, I really want to live down there."

Lin Shuyou: "Did living with them put pressure on you?"

Tan Wenbin: "She probably wants a whole cigar cabinet."

Bai Nuo: "How do you understand me so well!"

Tan Wenbin took out a thick incense stick from his pocket and handed it to Bai Nuo: "Try this."

Bai Nuo took it, lit it, and took a puff.

My face turned red, my body temperature rose rapidly, and steam rose from my head.

"Oh, oh, oh! I want this! I want this!"

Tan Wenbin: "I'll give you a fixed amount from now on. Take good care of your son-in-law and sister at home."

Bai Nuo shrank back into her seat and said, "I will not be turned by you to betray my sister and son-in-law."

Tan Wenbin: "Has your brain been clouded by the smoke?"

There is a long north-south road from Nantong city to Shinan town. As soon as Lin Shuyou parked his car, he saw a tractor driving in the distance with a "clattering" sound.

Lin Shuyou: "Three eyes."

Zhao Yi was driving the tractor, and all his men were sitting in the back of the tractor.

This was certainly not a tractor from the Ji'an construction site, and he couldn't have driven a tractor back from the Northeast. His vehicle had simply broken down after entering Nantong, so he had to borrow a tractor from someone.

Chen Jing, who was on the tractor, saw the little girl sitting in Tan Wenbin's vehicle. He thought he had met a little sister and smiled gently. But as he sniffed, he realized what the other person was, and his eyes suddenly turned red and he let out a low growl.

Bai Nuo, sitting in the car, trembled.

Chen Jing realized that his wild nature had been exposed, so he withdrew his head and composed himself.

Zhao Yi: "That guy surnamed Li hasn't left yet, has he?"

Lin Shuyou: "Xiao Yuan is at home."

Zhao Yi: "Then there's no rush. You guys go back first, I'll drive the tractor for a while longer to savor the experience."

After Bai Nuo boarded the bus, the other passengers on the bus suddenly felt that the weather had gotten much cooler.

The little girl sat down in her seat, pouting, and untangled her knotted pigtails.

Perhaps realizing that Tan Wenbin and the others hadn't left yet, she immediately regained her composure and waved goodbye to them through the car window.

After watching the bus leave, Lin Shuyou turned his pickup truck around. Instead of deliberately slowing down to wait for Zhao Yi, he stepped on the gas and drove off first. He needed to get back early to help Three-Eyes prepare the lottery venue.

After arriving home, Lin Shuyou went to prepare the raffle tickets, while Tan Wenbin went upstairs to report the matter to Brother Xiaoyuan.

"Valley of Living People".

Li Zhuiyuan nodded, pondering the name of the legacy.

Zhao Yi is almost here, and Chen Xiyuan should be on her way too.

The next step, dividing the troops into four groups, will be implemented soon.

The two lines, Bo Yi and Xue Ci, were assigned to Chen Xiyuan and Zhao Yi respectively. With their abilities, this was only equivalent to a wave of medium difficulty on the river.

Tan Wenbin, along with Runsheng and Lin Shuyou, quickly ran to four locations to apprehend the four minor evil spirits. The process was tedious but not difficult.

The most unpredictable part is the Fengdu route I'm about to take.

Because the Emperor might actually refuse.

The rules of Fengdu are the foundation of the Great Emperor, and the Great Emperor's true form is also suppressed in the Fengdu Hell.

Rather than saying that he went there to help Lin Shuyou, it was actually the first time that he, the young master of Fengdu, had put his hand into Fengdu.

If Lin Shuyou, the Ghost Commander, can use this skill, then Li Zhuiyuan can use it even more effectively.

Therefore, it is very unstable to expect the emperor to acquiesce to one's actions through long-term interests, but what if the short-term benefit of "Valley of Living People" is added?
Li Zhuiyuan felt that if he was willing to lead the next wave to "Valley of the Living" and help Fengdu Hell get rid of a small hell in a competitive ecological niche, then the Great Emperor would probably agree to his overstepping his bounds.

Li Zhuiyuan had fought against the lamplighters of the Valley of Living People. Although they had become losers in the waves, he could still see from them that the Valley of Living People had a profound foundation.

Putting aside the extreme case of the giant tortoise and the tomb owner actively seeking him out, under normal circumstances, the Valley of the Living People would be considered a highly difficult challenge.

But as long as he can ensure the success of his plan, Li Zhuiyuan is willing to pay the price and use it as a bargaining chip.

Most importantly, once the plan is completed, the current high level of difficulty will be significantly reduced.

The Heavenly Dao dislikes Fengdu Hell, but because it can't do anything about the Fengdu Emperor, it has to temporarily accept it. Does that mean the Heavenly Dao would like that little hell?
If one fully utilizes their own initiative to slash at targets that Heaven dislikes, they believe Heaven will grant them some leniency.

Moreover, this is also a rehearsal for a new phase.

Li Zhuiyuan disliked Liu Qingcheng's approach of becoming the Dragon King and then taking revenge on each family one by one with her sword.

This grudge should be settled on the river. On the river, the enemy will be more restrained and easier to exploit and defeat.

Li Zhuiyuan stood on the second-floor terrace, his thoughts drifting far away.

Others who cross the river wait for the next wave to pass before blindly groping for it, but this young man is already planning and designing for the waves of the future.

The sound of the tractor broke the boy's thoughts.

Zhao Yi drove the tractor onto the dam, turned it off, got out, and shouted to Li Zhuiyuan on the second floor, hands on his hips:
"Hey Li, I've missed you so much!"

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Zhao Yi would soon wish he were dead.

"Weren't you going to visit your godmother and your husband, Lao Tian?"

"Old Tian went to help my great-grandmother pick out porcelain jars today, so I'll come here first and not disturb their sweet time together."

In Nantong, toilets are built with a dragon throne on top and a pit dug underneath, with a large porcelain vat placed in the pit to collect the waste. Hence, going to the toilet is referred to locally as "going to the porcelain vat."

"Picking a porcelain jar" means that the jar is full and it's time to carry manure to fertilize the fields.

Li Zhuiyuan went downstairs.

Chen Jing squatted in front of the doghouse, stroking Xiao Hei's head.

Xiao Hei was very well-behaved in front of Chen Jing, in a way that was somewhat timid and hesitant.

"Hehe! Brother Yuan!"

Chen Jing leaned closer, and Li Zhuiyuan had no choice but to reach out and pat Chen Jing's head.

Chen Jing was also very obedient in front of Li Zhuiyuan. Even when he was possessed by a demon, in front of Li Zhuiyuan, A Jing would first strangle himself.

Zhao Yi rubbed his hands together, walked up to Li Zhuiyuan, and said, "Halfway through the door, halfway up the mountain:"

"Hey Li, I'm preparing for the college entrance exam and I'm planning to borrow a few sets of books from you to study."

Lin Shuyou ran out of the basement and handed a booklet to Zhao Yi:

"Here, here."

Zhao Yi took the booklet, which started with the number one and ended with the number one thousand.

Lin Shuyou: "Three-Eyed, you choose. Don't worry, I've put the corresponding number labels on the books. Just circle the number you want, and I'll take you to get it. I guarantee it's absolutely fair!"

Zhao Yi closed the booklet, patted it in his hand, and said, "Then just tell me from one to what number, and I'll just say three numbers within that range. Doesn't your hand get tired from writing such a thick booklet of numbers?"

Lin Shuyou was stunned.

Zhao Yi: "Three, thirty-three, three hundred and thirty-three."

Lin Shuyou: "Is it all decided already?"

Zhao Yi: "It's a blind selection, why are you so conflicted?"

Lin Shuyou: "I thought you would set up an altar to tell fortunes."

Zhao Yi: "I believe in my luck, and I'm sure I'll find someone suitable for me."

Chen Jing: "Yi-ge already calculated it on the way back, it'll definitely work!"

Zhao Yi: "Cough..."

Lin Shuyou: "Three-Eyed, now come with me to the basement to get the book."

Zhao Yi: "If I can't even trust you in this world, then I can't trust anyone. Go and get it for me."

Lin Shuyou went back to the basement.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Sit down and chat for a while?"

Zhao Yi: "Hahaha, I knew it, but I'll borrow the book and then immediately..."

Chen Jing placed a stool behind Zhao Yi.

The other bench was placed behind Li Zhuiyuan by A Jing.

Li Zhuiyuan sat down.

Zhao Yi had no choice but to sit down, but he immediately continued:
“Hey Li, don’t say anything, don’t ask anything. As soon as I get the book, I’ll go and kowtow to my godmother, and then I’ll go back to my Lushan without looking back.”

"I'm not asking you to come with me to Fengdu."

"Stop, stop! I'm not going anywhere. I'm very homesick, and right now my mind is filled with thoughts of my beautiful hometown, the place where I was born and raised!"

Li Zhuiyuan remained silent.

Lin Shuyou came out with three books, his face looking rather grim.

Zhao Yi: "So thin? Yet it contains profound meaning?"

Lin Shuyou: "I don't know how to say it."

Zhao Yi: "Judging from your expression, I think I've picked out something good, haha."

With an excited heart and trembling hands, he used to be the one delivering secret manuals to the man surnamed Li, but today he was finally going to get a taste of something new from the man surnamed Li's collection.

After taking the three books, Zhao Yi paused for a moment when he saw the cover of the first book:
"The Diamond Sutra?"

This is a set of precious Buddhist secret manuals.

However, to cultivate such techniques, one must remain a virgin. Once one loses one's virginity, not only will the technique be broken, but all previous accumulations will also be lost, dissipating most of one's strength.

Zhao Yi: "Ayou."

Lin Shuyou: "Hmm?"

Zhao Yi: "Is this something you secretly brought in?"

Lin Shuyou: "What?"

Zhao Yi: "Alright, it's three universities anyway. You can take one spot and choose whichever you want. We're practically family, haha."

Lin Shuyou's face turned red with anger: "If I wanted it, I could have just told Brother Xiaoyuan. I don't need to use your spot. No, I don't want this!"

Zhao Yi: "And what about your son?"

Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils suddenly opened, and the boy appeared in a fit of rage.

But the boy immediately realized that this was not the place for him and that the person was sitting right next to him, so he was immediately frightened and shrank back.

The virgin is eager for Lin Shuyou to have children so that His True Lord system can be promoted. How could he possibly let Ayou practice any virginity training?

Zhao Yi moved the first book aside and looked at the second one.

"The Heavenly Yin-Yang Technique? Practiced by women?"

Zhao Yi flipped to the first page and quickly scanned the contents.

Men can also practice this, as long as they are willing to castrate themselves.

Zhao Yi looked at Li Zhuiyuan: "Li, the things in this basement have absolutely nothing to do with you. They're not yours at all, right?"

Clearly, Zhao Yi had realized what was going on.

He couldn't possibly be that unlucky.

He believed that the man surnamed Li wouldn't be so stingy as to secretly tamper with the things he promised to give him, and he was even more convinced that Lin Shuyou would never engage in underhanded dealings.

But what the hell is this thing that's being pulled out?

Just then, Benben climbed into the house from outside.

After Tan Wenbin returned home, the painting project immediately ceased, and he was dismissed from get out of class.

Benben wants to find Xiaohei and ask him to help her escape from here.

As she passed in front of Zhao Yi, he picked her up with one hand and shook her.

"What kind of luck do I have? Out of three books I drew, two of them are related to birds?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't tell me you haven't considered this extreme scenario."

Zhao Yi: "Hey Li, I miscalculated your great-grandfather's fortune!"

Zhao Yi must have considered the extreme scenario, but even with a wave of merit on his body, he still couldn't overcome it!
Whether one's fortune is good or bad depends on what one compares to. Even the most turbulent river is just a trickle in front of the ocean.

Zhao Yi: "Heh, let me see how the third book will compete with Queque this time."

The third book.

"The Art of Seeking the Heart Through Water"

A superior secret technique, once learned, mastered, and thoroughly understood, can help you see through people's hearts and give you the ability to get infinitely close to the "gap between life and death".

"Ha, ha ...

Lin Shuyou, watching Zhao Yi laugh like that, felt a little sorry for him.

Zhao Yi put Benben down, rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, looked at Li Zhuiyuan, and asked with concern:
"Hey Li, when have you ever choked to death while drinking soda because you couldn't burp?"

At this moment, Li Sanjiang returned.

"Hey, a tractor? How much does this tractor cost? Oh, it's old. Sigh, I want to buy Li Hou a brand new one."

Oh, Lord Yi, you're back?

I just saw it; your old man, Tian, ​​was picking out porcelain jars for Blind Liu's family, and he was carrying them with such enthusiasm!

Zhao Yi: "Uncle Li."

Li Sanjiang: "You've come at the right time! It just so happens that Li Hou has taken Ting Hou back to his hometown. I'm short-handed here, so please help me out these next few days. Don't worry, Uncle Li will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

Zhao Yi: "Okay, Uncle Li."

Li Sanjiang: "Little Marquis, I'm going to the carpenter's house for a drink. I won't be back for dinner tonight, and you don't need to come pick me up. I'll just sleep at his place after I've had my drink."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes, sir."

After giving the instructions, Li Sanjiang took two bottles of wine, grabbed two packs of cigarettes from the cabinet and put them in his pocket, then happily went out again.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Now, can we get down to business?"

Zhao Yi: "I can still leave."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay, then you can go."

Zhao Yi looked at the three exceptional books in his hand.

He had already taken the books. Even though these three exceptional books were of no use to him, their value was clearly evident. They were absolute treasures!

He just packs his bags and leaves, which is like taking the money but not doing anything. Let's see if Grandpa Li is more lucky or if Zhao Yi's fate is tougher.

Zhao Yi: "Li, believe it or not, when we talked on the phone and you said you were going to Fengdu, I had a premonition that this would be the outcome."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I believe in your divination skills."

Zhao Yi: "The more I read your book, 'Code of Conduct for Walking Along the River,' the more I felt that the river described in the book was just like you in my eyes in reality."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I do have some waves on the ground to give you."

Zhao Yi: "If your identity is ever exposed, and the people on the river and the forces downstream try to kill you, I will definitely help to actively coordinate."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I will still believe in you."

Zhao Yi bit his lip hard, drawing blood from the dragon-skin texture. Finally, he slapped his thighs hard and said:
"Tell me, where?"

Gansu.

"No, even if it were a real wave on the river, it would rarely knock me that far in one go, right?"

"It wasn't forced."

"Of course I'll go! I'll treat it as a trip. I've always longed to go there."

When resistance is meaningless, all you can do is open your eyes and actively seek enjoyment.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Thank you."

Zhao Yi waved the three manuals in his hand: "Thank you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "You've traveled a long way back, take a rest and get yourself in better shape."

Zhao Yi: "You can give me more specific clues now, and I'll set off immediately and come back as soon as possible."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Since not everyone has arrived yet, we can't start early on our own."

Zhao Yi: "Waiting for whom?"

Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

Zhao Yi: "Hey Li, just how big is your appetite this time?"

The only thing that could make someone surnamed Li so determined and accustomed to canceling his account is an unimaginably large immediate benefit.

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's not a big place, we just want to eat our fill, and for everyone to eat their fill."

Zhao Yi: "Why do I feel like I'm aiding and abetting evil?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "After you return successfully, I will personally go to the basement and pick out three sets of books for you."

Zhao Yi:

"I will wear my golden armor after a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan!"

……

As dusk fell, a light rain began to fall, and it got dark earlier than usual.

Chen Xiyuan got out of the taxi.

The village road of Siyuan Village was right across the street, but she hesitated to cross it.

She came at the sound of her little brother's phone call, but she wasn't really ready to face her little brother, little sister, and Lin Shuyou again...

What she couldn't face even more was the fact that Old Madam Liu had given up her bedroom to her after her last visit here.

If it weren't for the lightning bolt her grandfather struck back then, she would definitely be happily running into the village now, pestering Aunt Liu to call her "sister" and asking her to make all sorts of delicious food for her.

However, Chen Xiyuan's depressed and hesitant mood did not last long before a flashlight shone over.

Beside the village entrance, a newly built pavilion has been erected, and someone is standing inside shining a flashlight.

Lin Shuyou ran out from inside, waving his arms.

Chen Xiyuan walked over.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiaoyuan specially asked me to wait for you here, afraid that you would get caught in the rain for too long at night."

Chen Xiyuan smiled.

Lin Shuyou: "Grandma Liu isn't home, and neither are Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu. But Brother Xiaoyuan had Lihua steam a lot of buns and make a lot of wontons in advance. Although Lihua's cooking skills aren't as good as Aunt Liu's, they're still very good. She's the one who cooks for us when Aunt Liu isn't here. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Chen Xiyuan: "I ate on the way."

Lin Shuyou: "How much did you eat?"

Chen Xiyuan: "A bowl of noodles."

Lin Shuyou: "Pshaw, that's not even enough to fill your teeth."

They had previously competed in eating capacity, and Chen Xiyuan had won against all three of them.

Hearing that Grandma Liu and the others weren't home, Chen Xiyuan felt much more at ease, and her steps became lighter as she walked towards the village.

Lin Shuyou was indeed there to pick someone up, but he only brought a flashlight and didn't even bring an umbrella.

So he and the people who came to pick him up walked home together in the rain.

Chen Xiyuan did not feel anything was wrong because of this.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Lin Shuyou led Chen Xiyuan into the kitchen, where he heated up some steamed buns and cooked some wontons for her.

Miss Chen held a steamed bun in her left hand and tore off pieces with her right hand, putting them into her mouth.

Until Li Zhuiyuan walked into the kitchen.

Chen Xiyuan stood up and looked at him.

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at the steamed bun in Miss Chen's hand, which only had superficial injuries, and said:

"I just have a grudge against your grandfather."

No amount of greetings or concern is as effective as this sentence.

After saying this, Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the table, indicating that Miss Chen should eat first, and then the young man walked out.

Chen Xiyuan sat down and began to eat heartily, devouring the food in a whirlwind.

"Ah You, that's not enough. Steam a few more trays of buns for me, and make another pot of wontons!"

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Chen Xiyuan walked out of the kitchen contentedly.

Inside the living room, Runsheng and Tan Wenbin sat watching television.

Runsheng was shelling peanuts, and Tan Wenbin was shelling edamame.

The TV was showing "The Legend of the White Snake," which was showing the scene where the newly appointed top scholar, Xu Shilin, came to Leiyin Temple to rescue his mother.

Runsheng: "Fahai, the White Snake, Leifeng Pagoda, how could a mortal come to their rescue?"

Tan Wenbin: "You can think of Xu Shilin as Brother Liang."

Runsheng: "Oh, I understand."

Tan Wenbin stood up and looked at Chen Xiyuan: "Want to watch TV together?"

Chen Xiyuan: "Okay."

Runsheng shared some peanuts with Miss Chen, Tan Wenbin shared some edamame, and Chen Xiyuan joined in.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't come down again because the boy was already asleep. His great-grandfather was going to drink and wouldn't be coming back tonight, so Li Zhuiyuan slept in his great-grandfather's room.

Next door, on the boy's bed, lay Ah Li.

The original east room was still given to Miss Chen to live in.

The next morning, Pear Blossom came here to make breakfast. She first took her son to the second floor.

In the room, Ah Li, dressed in a white silk nightgown, sat there while a young man stood behind her, combing her hair.

The clothes I'm going to wear today are placed on the bed.

When Grandma Liu went out, she didn't take the sword with her, but she prepared all the clothes that Ah Li would wear in the next few days.

Seeing this, Pear Blossom's lips curled up slightly, but fearing that she would appear frivolous and disrespectful, she quickly lowered her head, pushed open the door, and let her son in.

When I went downstairs and into the kitchen, I was shocked to see that all the food I had prepared yesterday had been eaten up.

"Just how high must this martial arts skill be?!"

When Li Zhuiyuan and A Li went downstairs for breakfast, Benben started skipping class again.

The good news is that as long as Tan Wenbin is home, he can always skip this class; the bad news is that it seems Tan Wenbin is going on a long trip soon.

This time, when Benben climbed to the top of the stairs carrying four milk bottles and an even bigger backpack, he saw Xiao Hei already standing there waiting for him.

Perhaps Zhao Yi's performance yesterday inspired Xiao Hei.

Rather than getting hit every day, it's better to come here and wait.

Benben climbed onto Xiao Hei's back.

Soon, in the early morning fields, a child could be seen riding a dog at breakneck speed.

Even if he might be caught and taken back again, at least for this moment, his soul is free!

Sun Yuanqing saw his son-in-law, riding a dog, coming towards him again.

People are often more easily moved when they are at their lowest point. Sun Yuanqing was at his lowest point; he was buried in the ground.

After spending these few days together, even though Benben is an ordinary child with no talent, he was willing to let him be his grandson-in-law.

The clumsy dog ​​rolled over and got off.

He generously shared his baby bottle with Sun Yuanqing. When Sun Yuanqing lowered his head to drink from his own bottle, he saw that the head in front of him was growing out of the ground and getting taller and taller.

Sun Yuanqing, with a baby bottle in his mouth, broke through the ground, which also meant breaking through the barrier!

The three-day period for receiving the title has arrived, and he has restored the foundations that were damaged in the fight against Goguryeo in Ji'an.

At this moment, a glint of light flickered in Master Sun's eyes.

He stood in the rice paddy, facing the direction of the east house, and bowed deeply.

He came to steal his granddaughter's husband from the old lady; he deserved to die.

This was tantamount to thoroughly humiliating the old lady, and he could also guess that the little girl with Li Zhuiyuan must be the old lady's orphan.

To come and propose marriage to the current heads of the Qin and Liu families is also a death sentence.

This is tantamount to showing contempt for the powerful families of Qin and Liu.

Both publicly and privately, Sun Yuanqing felt he had no reason to survive.

But instead of killing him, the old lady helped him repair his foundation.

He knew that this was partly out of respect for his sect's ancestors who had followed the Qin and Liu families' Dragon Kings in slaying demons and monsters, and partly out of respect for the injuries he had sustained while serving the public in Ji'an.

Furthermore, the old lady has already given her consent; she doesn't actually agree to Benben's childhood betrothal.

Sun Yuanqing picked up Benben.

At that moment, the window on the second floor was opened, and a scroll of painting peeked out from inside.

Sun Yuanqing's gaze sharpened.

This time, the scroll did not fly out.

Sun Yuanqing originally wanted to say that with him around, no one would be able to bully you anymore, and to show off in front of his grandson-in-law.

To his surprise, his goatee was grabbed in the next moment.

It was clumsily squeezed.

Despite his small stature, he was incredibly strong. He was pouting, looking very seriously at the old man who had stood up for him.

Despite skipping classes, Benben still respects his teachers, especially those he's known since childhood. He won't allow outsiders to glare at them.

"Let go, let go! I was wrong, I was wrong."

Benben let go of his hand, turned his head away, and didn't want to talk to him.

Sun Yuanqing patted Benben's head; he really adored this child.

"You can tell what a person will be like at three years old." This child is far from three years old, but he is precocious. His character is beyond reproach, and growing up in the Dragon King's household, there is absolutely no possibility that he will go astray in the future.

As for her appearance, she's already as delicate as a porcelain doll. Even if she grows out of shape in the future, with this foundation, she'll never be ugly.

With such a fine appearance and character, finding a suitable husband is difficult. Sun Yuanqing is now somewhat worried that his little granddaughter won't be good enough for him in the future.

First, go find the parents and arrange a marriage between the children.

Sun Yuanqing, holding Benben, was too embarrassed to go to the main house. Instead, he deliberately went around to Big Beard's house. When he first met Benben, Benben was sitting in the crib on the dam.

Just as Master Sun left, Zhao Yi led Chen Xiyuan and the others to the rice paddy.

Zhao Yi: "Miss Chen, please open your domain and set up a temporary load-bearing structure so we can help Mr. Li temporarily repair his dojo for later use."

Chen Xiyuan took a step forward and opened the domain.

Zhao Yi looked puzzled. He had seen Chen Xiyuan open her domain many times before, but this time her domain was not as integrated with reality as before. Instead, it had a more surging atmosphere of clouds and sea.

This sea of ​​clouds, far from becoming a burden on Chen Xiyuan's domain, has instead added more possibilities to its evolution.

"Miss Chen, did you have another extraordinary encounter in the last wave?"

Chen Xiyuan shook her head.

After learning the truth here last time, which shocked her with her grandfather's behavior and made her question the Chen family's family traditions, the next time she opened her domain, wisps of white mist began to appear in it.

At first, she thought that it was because her Dao heart had a problem, which caused cracks to appear in her domain. She tried to erase it, but she could not succeed.

Because she saw this as a weakness, she deliberately suppressed and concealed it when she fought with her grandfather at home.

But after she received the call from Li Zhuiyuan, the white mist in the area immediately surged, forming a small sea of ​​clouds that could no longer be hidden.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur, and the effect of the domain was not diminished.

Chen Xiyuan propped up the collapsed gate of the dojo again.

Zhao Yi led his men inside to carry out emergency repairs.

Restoring this dojo would require a certain amount of time, which is obviously not feasible at the moment. Moreover, Zhao Yi felt that what the man surnamed Li wanted was not simply restoration; he probably wanted to redesign and rebuild it.

Li Zhuiyuan and A Li each carried a handful of scrolls and walked from the front of the house to the field.

Just then, Zhao Yi also walked out of the dojo, bending over.

“Hey Li, we just did a quick fix, it won’t last long, so hurry up.”

"Ah."

Li Zhuiyuan and A Li entered the temple.

The space inside is very cramped. Most of the functions of the dojo in the past are no longer usable, but at least it can serve as a barrier to the flow of energy.

After Li Zhuiyuan finished making the arrangements, he looked at A Li.

Ah Li unfolded the first image of an evil spirit.

Red threads spilled from Li Zhuiyuan's fingertips and entered A Li's brow. Immediately, the young man began to activate a secret technique, deducting funds from his merit account to establish a connection with this evil "wave".

Each time a painting is completed, Ah Li throws it out of the dojo, where someone outside catches it.

Chen Xiyuan received a painting by Bo Yi.

Zhao Yi opened the scroll he had received. Inside was a river of blood, and in the center of the river, a woman held up a blood-red porcelain bottle. Around her, one could vaguely see densely packed figures, seemingly worshipping or cursing.

An extra piece of blood-stained porcelain was also included in the painting.

Zhao Yi whispered to Chen Xiyuan beside him:

"Those who know will know that the person inside is surnamed Li; those who don't might think that the person inside is... hehe."

……

Sun Yuanqing carried Benben to Big Beard's house.

When Pear Blossom saw the newcomer, she looked puzzled: "You are...?"

Xiong Shan immediately realized what was happening and bowed to the other party.

Master Sun immediately returned the greeting and smiled, saying, "We will be one family in the future, so we don't need to be so formal."

Pear Blossom: "In-laws!"

Sun Yuanqing: "Hey! Mother-in-law!"

Pear Blossom: "I really didn't expect it. It turns out he's my father-in-law."

Sun Yuanqing quickly waved his hand and said, "I am not your father-in-law, haha, I am of your grandfather's generation."

Pear Blossom: "I see."

Sun Yuanqing: "Judging from your words, you two seem to approve of this marriage. Why don't we draw up a contract right now?"

Pear Blossom: "Okay... um..."

Sun Yuanqing: "What's wrong? The old lady has agreed."

Xiong Shan: "That's right, Daoist Master. According to procedure, matters concerning children require the consent of one person in addition to the Old Madam, the Young Master, and us."

Sun Yuanqing: "Oh, who is it?"

Xiong Shan pointed to the peach grove: "That's the one inside."

Sun Yuanqing nodded: "I understand."

A third-rank official before the prime minister's gate must be a gatekeeper before the Dragon King's gate, whose status must also be extraordinary.

The child in her arms was a true house-born child, so according to custom, someone should be chosen from the family to become his teacher.

Sun Yuanqing: "Does he have a different opinion?"

Xiong Shan: "No, no, no, it's just that we haven't been able to contact him recently."

The main problem is that Qing'an has been drinking tea and not alcohol these past few days, so the offering table can't be set up.

As for personally going into the peach grove to ask... in the whole family, it's probably only Young Master Li who can freely enter and leave this peach grove without any problems.

Sun Yuanqing: "That's easy. I'll just write another visiting card and send it to him."

As he spoke, Sun Yuanqing handed Benben to Lihua, took out a brush and ink, and wrote another visiting card in a flowing and elegant style.

After finishing writing, he held up the visiting card, blew on the ink, and nodded with great satisfaction.

The last time he sent in his visiting card, the doorman in the peach grove responded quickly and even arranged for someone to guide him to visit the old lady.

The Dragon King's family has a truly good family tradition. This member is not arrogant at all, very disciplined, dutiful, and easy to talk to.

It seems that the betrothal between our children should be finalized soon.

Sun Yuanqing clapped his hands, and the visiting card flew out and landed in the peach grove.

Inside the peach grove.

Qing'an is having tea with Su Luo.

Because Qing'an could tell that Li Zhuiyuan was deliberately hiding his drinking this time, he also put away his drinking habit and waited until the heavy snacks to accompany the drinks arrived before indulging in a good drink.

The invitation card flew in and landed on the tea table between the two.

Su Luo glanced at the name on the visiting card: "It's the same Taoist priest as last time."

Qing An asked with some surprise, "Hmm, he wasn't beaten to death by that person?"

Su Luo presented the visiting card to Qing An.

Qing'an took it, opened it, and scanned the contents of the visiting card.

Immediately, the water in the pool beside them began to boil!
It's true that the child has accumulated merit from his parents' time traveling the world, but his parents surrendered twice early on. How could they have accumulated so much merit?
This child is indeed precocious, but how could someone be so intelligent as to be almost supernatural at such a young age?
That child was someone he had watched grow up. It was Qing'an who had quietly nurtured him with peach blossoms and guided him with peach blossom breezes, essentially raising him with his own heart's blood.

Now, with just a visiting card from someone of equal status, they actually think they can take my credit?
How dare you!

The reason Li Zhuiyuan asked Xiong Shan and his wife to inquire about Qing'an's opinion was because Li Zhuiyuan had long realized how good Qing'an was to Benben, so he definitely had to ask Qing'an and get his consent before discussing Benben's matter.

At this moment, Qing'an was so angry that her lips were trembling, and her face was constantly changing, always showing anger.

He raised his hand, pointed outside the peach grove, and said sternly:

"Bring him in and beat him to death!"
