"This looks so familiar!"

Ni Yongxiang murmured softly, his gaze fixed on Ni Kun's receding figure, a sense of indescribable familiarity welling up in his heart.

He slowly raised his head to look at the sky, murmuring to himself, "Perhaps, my father is using Ah Kun to tell me that it's time to pull myself together!"

Time flies like an arrow, passing by in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

During this period, Ni Kun visited Ni Yongwen, who was ill at Eryueju, many times.

Every time he saw his second brother's health deteriorating, his heart would grow heavier: "Ah Jiu! Hurry! Your second brother can't hold on much longer!"

One morning a few days later.

Sunlight filters through the bamboo grove and spills into the courtyard, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

"Tap tap tap..."

A burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

"Father!"

Ni Yongxiao rushed into the bamboo house with a happy expression on his face.

"Father! What wonderful news!"

Ni Yongxiao could hardly contain his excitement; his voice trembled slightly as he said, "Ninth Sister sent word that she has successfully purchased what she needed and will return to the family soon via the teleportation array!"

Yes, although the Yue Kingdom had a long and narrow shape, its actual territory was quite vast.

If one chooses to rely on one's own spiritual power to fly on a sword, it would take at least ten days to half a month to reach the port city from the distant provincial capital.

However, if one could use the mysterious and powerful teleportation array, one could reach their destination in the blink of an eye.

only.

The low-level teleportation array possessed by the Ni family's secret chamber could only teleport to the surrounding county towns at its furthest point.

To teleport to a distance as far as the provincial capital, a mid-level teleportation array would be required, which would consume a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones.

"Good! Very good! Excellent!"

Ni Kun jumped up from his chair, his voice trembling with extreme joy: "Have you... have you told your second brother about this?"

Ni Yongxiao nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "I happened to be with my second brother at the time, so I told him immediately!"

Upon hearing this...

Ni Kun couldn't help but beam with joy, his mood extremely cheerful, as if all his worries had been thrown to the winds: "Yes! Yes! Yes! In this way, we can give him some hope, and Awen's mental state will surely be refreshed!"

After saying that, Ni Kun planned to go and visit the four of them together.

However, when he learned that Ni Yongwen had just taken his medicine and was already asleep, he had no choice but to give up.

After a moment's thought.

In high spirits, he suggested, "Ah-Xiao, how about we go for a stroll in the market?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongxiao readily agreed.

So the father and son walked down the mountain with light and cheerful steps.

We have not yet reached our destination.

Looking out from afar, one could see a bustling scene at the construction site outside the mountain gate, with everyone busy with their respective tasks, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Amidst this bustling scene, a graceful and refined figure stood out.

She was dressed in a light blue and white gauze dress, her figure graceful and her steps light, while she continuously issued clear and pleasant commands, directing everything in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Ni Kun thought to himself, "My little Qi is a real heartthrob!"

at the same time.

"Seventh Sister!"

Ni Yongxiao was the first to greet them and quickly stepped forward.

Hearing someone call her name, Ni Yongshuang turned around nimbly, her face instantly showing surprise and delight.

"Fourth Brother! What brings you here all of a sudden!"

As she asked with great joy, her gaze involuntarily fell on Ni Kun.

"Ahem!"

Ni Yongxiao coughed twice, reminding her, "Seventh Sister, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to invite us in?"

"Fourth Brother..."

Ni Yongshuang's face instantly flushed red, burning hot.

Then he chuckled and warmly invited the two into a large canvas tent.

This is a temporary command center, which is spacious, bright, and well-equipped.

As soon as they sat down, the three of them started chatting casually, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The servants then brought out fruits, tea, and snacks.

However, just as everyone was having a good time chatting.

"Buzz!"

The communication jade pendant in Ni Yongxiao's arms suddenly rang.

After investigating, he rose to take his leave, adding, "Seventh Sister, Fourth Brother has some things to attend to first. You must take good care of Ah Kun!"

After saying that, he hurriedly went to the city lord's mansion.

It's important to understand that the port city is in dire need of reconstruction, and human effort is essential for its rebuilding.

Ni Yongxiao found several outstanding ordinary people to assist Lord Lu in handling official business.

Indeed, the reason why Ni Kun supported Lu Zhenshen back then was precisely because he was both talented and an ordinary person.

Ni Kun still holds onto his original idea.

In this world of cultivation.

Governing a city should rely on the general public, not on those high-ranking spiritual practitioners.

After all, if cultivators were given absolute power and could arbitrarily set all sorts of rules, it would be disastrous.

Then, weak mortals will have nowhere to stand.

"Ah Kun!"

Seeing Ni Kun remain silent, Ni Yongshuang finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and concern, and took the initiative to break the deadlock, speaking first: "Bamboo Residence! Are you settling in well?"

"Um!"

Ni Kun nodded slightly, looked up at the seven women in front of him, and suddenly asked a question that caught them off guard: "Do you...do you have someone you like?"

Yes, Ni Kun felt that what Lao Ba said before made a lot of sense. He was so old and still not married. Did he want to be a spinster?

However, after saying this...

Ni Yongshuang's originally fair and snow-white cheeks turned as red and hot as a ripe apple once again.

"Well......"

She lowered her head in a flustered manner, not daring to meet Ni Kun's gaze again, and quickly tried to change the awkward and delicate topic by making an excuse: "Uh... Ah Kun, your name is Ni Ah Kun, right?"

Ni Kun was taken aback at first, then nodded slightly.

Ni Yongshuang frowned slightly, certain in her heart: "No! He's lying!"

Before this.

After a thorough and meticulous investigation, Ni Yongshuang discovered that the Ni family had never had such a handsome and dashing young man before.

Secondly, the Ni family, whether in the port city or other counties, or even throughout the entire Yue Kingdom, has no family members with the surname "A".

Not to mention, the character "坤" (Kun) holds extraordinary significance in the Ni family; who would dare to use this character?

all the time.

Ni Yongshuang always thought that Ah Kun was like a fog, difficult to understand.

It was precisely for this reason that she had a strong and intense interest in everything about Ni Kun.

then.

She smiled slightly and generously pushed the fruit and snacks in front of the other person.

She began racking her brains to find ways to chat with Ni Kun in a roundabout and indirect manner.

But as time went by, second by second.

In the end, even after Ni Kun stood up to say goodbye and leave, he still couldn't get anything out of her.

Watching Ni Kun's figure gradually walk away until it completely disappeared.

"That wretched Ah Kun!"

Ni Yongshuang stomped her feet in anger, muttering to herself indignantly, "Hmph! I refuse to believe it..."

Just then.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky.

"Catching snails at night!"

Ni Yongshuang suddenly had an idea—while Ni Kun was not at home, she would go to "Bamboo Residence" to find out what was going on!

at the same time.

Ni Kun slowly walked into the market that was nearing completion.

For Ni Kun, the market is of extraordinary significance. It has witnessed his hardships and efforts along the way. It can be said that this is a world he has created with his sweat and blood.

Standing here at this moment, Ni Kun couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

After a while.

As he walked, he unknowingly arrived in front of a shop.

The shop has officially opened to the public, with a prominent signboard hanging high above the entrance bearing five large, elegantly written characters: "Foot Massage is Also a Way!"

Upon seeing the plaque, Ni Kun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the store and found a comfortable room to lie down.

Not long after.

A charming female technician in a cheongsam walked in: "Hello sir! I'm technician number 80, may I serve you?"

however.

Ni Kun's answer was very direct:
