Chapter 456. He's Back

On his first day back at Haidu Villa, Jiang Jianxin went to Rose Property Management to settle all the outstanding fees.

In the absence of war and other pressing matters, life often settles into these small details—the mundane necessities of daily life, simple yet real.

Even the most renowned sword master, upon returning home, still makes it his first priority to pay the outstanding property management fees and hire someone to trim the overgrown lawn in front of his house.

The green areas in the community's public areas are maintained by the property management company, but Jiang Jianxin has to arrange for the management of the private grass field in front of his house, which includes a helipad.

She hadn't been back for so long; the grass had grown tall and was piled up haphazardly in the open space. It had to be fixed.

When Yin Ju returned from the ferry, he saw her squatting at the door supervising the work.

The Tangguang Sword was casually left to dry on the rooftop to bask in the sun, its blade reflecting the light and emitting a low, cheerful chirping sound.

Jiang Jianxin—the girl in the white coat—rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching the property management staff pushing the lawnmower back and forth.

The afternoon sun shone on her face, warm and gentle, as if it had made time stand still.

"Jiang Jianxin!"

Yin Ju greeted her.

Jiang Jianxin looked up and saw it was him, so he stood up and greeted him in return:
"You're back so soon?"

Yin Ju walked over and took a sip of tea, saying:
"You have air routes, and I have waterways too, okay?"

Jiang Jianxin didn't ask any more questions, but instead invited him to chat in the living room.

"Wow..."

She pushed open the door, and a whiff of dust from a place that hadn't been lived in for a long time rushed out.

Inside, the room was already filled with a lively, clanging noise.

Two round-headed household robots are working at full speed—

A vacuum cleaner whirred and sped along the floor, occasionally bumping into furniture legs and bouncing away with a "thud," before persistently turning around and going up again.

Another long, slender robotic arm stretched out, wiping the floor-to-ceiling window back and forth with a rag, making a rhythmic "swish" sound.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the fine dust particles dancing in the air, like a golden drizzle.

The roar of the vacuum cleaner, the occasional collision sound, the rustling of the rag against the glass, and the slight whirring of the robot's motor as it moved—all these sounds mixed together, creating a somewhat chaotic yet vibrant atmosphere, truly a thorough cleaning.

Jiang Jianxin glanced inside the house and then led Yin Ju to the balcony.

The view here is expansive, allowing you to see the lawn being mowed downstairs while avoiding the hustle and bustle inside.

Yin Ju sat down on the rattan chair.

Jiang Jianxin turned and went into the house, and soon came out carrying a set of plain white porcelain tea set.

She lifted the teapot and poured water, her movements unhurried. Several dried spring flowers slowly unfurled in the boiling water, becoming plump and moist again, spreading a vibrant red, and the tea soup gradually took on a light amber hue.

She pushed a cup of tea toward Yin Ju's hand.

"Long time no see, why are you still holding that cup of goji berry tea?"

Her tone carried a faint smile:

"Let's try something different today, I bought some San Du Chun tea from somewhere else."

The young man in the black executive jacket didn't refuse and simply put his thermos aside.

He picked up the warm white porcelain cup, first examining the peculiar flowers floating within, before bringing it to his lips and taking a sip. The floral fragrance was delicate, and the taste was smooth and pleasant; it was quite nice.

"How has your illness been lately?"

He put down his teacup, looked up at her, and spoke in a more serious tone:

"When we return to Haidu, should we see a doctor we know again?"

Jiang Jianxin waved his hand and said:

"Completely healed, completely healed, no need to see a doctor."

"If you or your friends ever have any serious, irreparable injuries in the future, you can come to me. Since I came back this time... not only have my injuries healed, but my medical skills have also greatly improved."

"what?"

Yin Ju didn't understand.

"Didn't you go to get treatment? How come you actually learned how to treat illnesses?"

Jiang Jianxin mumbled:

"Yeah, I think I'm pretty incredible too."

Yin Ju was confused by her words.

Knowing that the person before them was a war giant, the renowned Sword Master, who had disappeared for some time and then returned to his hometown, suddenly claiming that he had mastered medical skills.

Three-month intensive medical treatment?
Do such extraordinary people really exist in the world?

However, considering Jiang Jianxin's past extraordinary genius performances, Yin Ju hesitated to voice his doubts.

After all, he is a true genius—and geniuses often mean that anything is possible.

He ultimately just went along with her, smiling with a hint of skepticism:
"Alright, then in the future... I might really need to trouble you."

The two then chatted about recent developments in Haidu, including the "Barrier of the God of Death" that had been making headlines on the forums, and the "Sun" that had suddenly appeared and disappeared.

Jiang Jianxin knew that this was all the work of the prophets, so he listened with great interest to Yin Ju's description as an observer.

As the conversation drew to a close, Yin Ju seemed to suddenly remember something and solemnly reminded him:
"By the way, scammers in Haidu have been quite active lately, so be careful when you go out and don't get scammed. Be careful with phone calls and messages too."

"Are scammers very active?"

Jiang Jianxin repeated it, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes, it's something that happened recently."

Yin Ju nodded, his expression slightly grave:
"Something has happened south of Haidu. Maybe a new telecom fraud den has sprung up, or some black market trade line has become active."

In short, these fraudsters are much more cunning than before, and their targets are clear: the residents of the Canglan Republic.

He sighed, rubbed his temples, and his figure in a black executive jacket revealed a hint of fatigue and weariness.

"I've repeatedly reminded people in internal announcements, and the anti-fraud guides are practically wallpapers, but people still fall for it every now and then. Now I... don't have any quick and effective solutions."

Managing a force in a place like Haidu, where all sorts of people mingle, means having to worry endlessly about the constant troubles that arise.

"Okay, I see."

Jiang Jianxin picked up his cup of tea, took a slow sip, looked down at the neatly trimmed lawn, and replied thoughtfully.
