I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

D9 slowly drove into the "Shanshui Impression" villa area and stopped in front of the villa.

As noon approached, the summer sun, like a burning fireball, relentlessly scorched the earth. The air was thick with heat, and even distant scenery was distorted and blurred by the heatwave.

Luo Fei got out of the car and pushed open the villa gate.

Stepping into the villa, a cool breeze from the air conditioner greeted me, dispelling the summer heat.

The living room was quiet, with sunlight streaming through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and casting bright spots of light on the floor, while tiny dust particles floated in the air.

"Xiaoying? Linlin?" Luo Fei called out.

The sound echoed in the empty living room.

"Brother? You're back!"

Luo Ying's delighted response came from the third floor, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin ran down the stairs, their faces flushed from exercise and their foreheads damp with sweat.

"Brother, you've been gone for several days this time, what have you been doing?" Luo Ying leaned closer, tilting her little face up and looking him up and down curiously.

Zhao Lin stood to the side and obediently called out, "Brother."

"I went to take care of something," Luo Fei said briefly, his gaze sweeping across the living room. "Where's Aunt? Isn't she home?"

"Auntie went out early this morning," Luo Ying replied, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. "She said she was going to the police station to inquire about the progress of the household registration transfer. Linlin's school registration hasn't been finalized yet, has it?"

Luo Fei nodded and said to his two younger sisters, "Make sure to cook a lot of food for lunch. I'm going to the village to pick up Mom and Dad. Linlin, call your mom and tell her to come home for lunch. Tell her I have something to tell her."

"Okay." Zhao Lin immediately went to get her phone.

Luo Ying blinked: "Brother, what's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"We'll talk about it after dinner. You guys get ready, I'll be right back."

Luo Fei didn't explain further, turned around and went out the door again.

D9 started up again and headed towards Liuxi Village.

The rice paddies on both sides of the village road gleamed golden under the blazing sun, the heavy ears of rice swaying gently in the wind, while cicadas chirped loudly in the willow trees by the roadside, their calls rising and falling in waves.

As soon as Luo Fei drove near the construction site of his old house's reconstruction, he saw a familiar figure standing outside the temporary fence, pointing at the new house whose main structure had been completed, holding a tablet in his hand.

It was none other than squad leader Su Wanqing.

She wore a light blue shirt dress today, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze.

Her long, black hair was loosely tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her fair and slender neck, and sunlight shone on her profile.

From the side, she looked focused, sometimes looking down to quickly jot something down in her notebook, and sometimes looking up, squinting to estimate dimensions, completely immersed in her work as a designer, oblivious to everything around her.

Luo Fei pulled the car over to the side of the road and rolled down the window.

"Class monitor."

Su Wanqing turned her head upon hearing the sound, saw Luo Fei in the car, and immediately showed a gentle smile on her face as she quickly walked over.

"Luo Fei? What a coincidence. I just came to check on the construction progress and was about to head back."

"How's the progress? Is it going smoothly?" Luo Fei asked.

"The main construction is progressing very smoothly."

Su Wanqing reported with a smile.

"These are all construction teams we work with regularly. They're very professional and have good skills. At this pace, the hard decoration should be basically completed in about half a month. I was just looking at the exterior wall decoration material matching scheme, and I was thinking of organizing it later and sending you a few renderings."

"Thank you for your hard work, class monitor," Luo Fei said sincerely.

He knew that Su Wanqing took this design very seriously, often coming to the site to check on things, making her far more responsible than the average designer.

"Of course, I've already received a design fee." Su Wanqing smiled playfully, then asked, "Are you going back to the village?"

"Yes, I'll pick up my parents and take them to the county town for dinner."

"Oh, then I won't keep you any longer. Go on your way, your aunt and uncle are definitely waiting." Su Wanqing waved her hand. "I'll send you the plan on WeChat later."

"Okay, let's keep in touch on WeChat. Be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye, Luo Fei drove on towards the farmhouse.

Su Wanqing stood there, watching the car drive away, her smile unchanged.

In the courtyard of the farmhouse, Luo Weidong was sitting under the shade of a tree brewing tea, while Li Xiulan was picking green beans for lunch.

They were both very happy to see their son drive in.

"Xiao Fei is back?" Luo Weidong asked, getting up.

"Okay." Luo Fei got out of the car. "Dad, Mom, pack your things. We're going to the county town for lunch. Xiaoying and the others are cooking."

"Going again? You've only been in the village for a few days..." Li Xiulan wiped her hands, saying this, but with a smile on her face.

"Let's go, listen to our son, let's have a meal together." Luo Weidong patted the dust off his clothes. "I'm going to wash my face."

Soon, the elderly couple finished packing and got into the car.

When they returned to the villa, Luo Yumei was already back and was helping Luo Ying in the kitchen.

The restaurant was filled with the enticing aroma of food.

"Auntie," Luo Fei greeted.

"Oh, you're back." Luo Yumei came out of the kitchen wiping her hands, a relaxed smile on her face. "They said the household registration would be processed in a week at most, and the school registration has also been set up."

"That's good." Luo Fei nodded.

Lunch was sumptuous.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin's cooking skills have also improved a lot. With the help of Luo Yumei, they made six dishes and a soup.

The family sat around the table, chatting and laughing, creating a warm atmosphere.

After the meal, Luo Ying rushed to clear the dishes, and Zhao Lin helped as well.

Luo Fei then said to his parents and aunt, "Dad, Mom, Aunt, let's go sit in the living room. We have something for you."

The three were somewhat puzzled, but they still followed him to the living room sofa and sat down.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin quickly finished tidying up, wiped their hands, and walked over, standing curiously to the side.

Luo Fei took a cloth bag out of his bag.

He opened the bag and took out five milky-white jade talismans strung together with red string.

"This is..." Luo Weidong looked at the thing in his son's hand with a puzzled expression.

"This is a talisman," Luo Fei said succinctly.

He picked one up and handed it to his father.

"Dad, put it on. Don't take it off at any time, even when you're showering or sleeping."

Luo Weidong took the jade talisman. It felt cool to the touch and had a delicate texture, unlike ordinary jade.

Although he didn't understand why his son suddenly gave him this, he still wore it around his neck as instructed. The jade amulet pressed against his chest skin, and soon a comfortable warmth came through.

Luo Fei then gave one to each of his mother, aunt, sister, and cousin.

"You all put them on."

Luo Ying held the jade talisman and examined it curiously: "Brother, this jade talisman is so beautiful! It feels so nice to touch! But... does this talisman really work? Where did you buy it?"

Zhao Lin carefully held her own piece, looking at Luo Fei with her big eyes.

Luo Fei watched as his family members put on their jade amulets, and then spoke with a serious expression.

"This is no ordinary decoration."

"It can automatically deflect one fatal danger when you encounter it. After it does, the jade talisman will shatter."

His gaze swept over everyone.

"So remember, never take it off intentionally."

"If one day you find that the jade amulet around your neck is broken, you must tell me immediately. Understand?"

The living room was quiet for a few seconds.

Luo Fei's words sounded somewhat mystical, but given his serious expression and tone, it was hard not to believe them.

Especially Luo Yumei and her sister, who had experienced Luo Fei's miraculous methods, were even more convinced.

Although Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan found it somewhat unbelievable, their son's current abilities and knowledge had long exceeded their comprehension.

They chose to believe their son.

"Okay, Dad remembers, I won't take it off." Luo Weidong touched the jade talisman on his chest and said solemnly.

"Mom doesn't take it off either; she wears it when she showers and sleeps." Li Xiulan nodded in agreement.

Luo Yumei carefully tucked the jade talisman into her collar, placing it close to her skin, feeling its warmth and comfort. She felt reassured and said, "Xiaofei, Auntie understands."

"Don't worry, brother! I'll wear it every day! I won't even take it off when I shower!" Luo Ying immediately declared.

Zhao Lin nodded vigorously, her small hands gripping the jade talisman tightly.

Seeing that his family had listened, Luo Fei's expression softened slightly.

He then looked at Luo Ying and Zhao Lin.

"There's one more thing. Xiaoying, Linlin, starting this afternoon, you two will be responsible for teaching Dad, Mom, and Aunt the first set of movements of the Body Refining Technique."

"Huh?" Luo Ying was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "We'll teach you?"

"Yes. You've already mastered it and have experience. Be careful to proceed gradually and don't let them get injured. Especially at the beginning, proper form is more important than range of motion," Luo Fei instructed.

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Luo Ying immediately puffed out her chest, looking every bit like a little coach.

Zhao Lin nodded shyly, her eyes showing a hint of eagerness.

Luo Weidong and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Body Refining Technique? Is that the weird-looking movement that Yingying and Xiaolin have been practicing these past few days?" Luo Yumei recalled seeing the two girls in strange poses in the yard.

"Yes," Luo Fei affirmed. "That set of exercises, combined with a medicinal bath, can strengthen the body, slow down aging, and boost energy. Dad, Mom, Aunt, you're all getting older, practicing this will be beneficial."

"You might find it a bit difficult at first, and your body might feel a little sore, but as long as you persevere, the benefits will be very obvious. Let Yingying and Linlin teach you; they are experienced and know how to proceed step by step."

Luo Weidong glanced at his wife and sister, then at his eager daughter and niece, and took a deep breath.

"Okay! Let's practice then! We should never stop learning, stay healthy, and not be a burden to our children!"

Li Xiulan and Luo Yumei nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled." Luo Fei stood up. "I'll go prepare the medicinal herbs for the bath. Yingying, Linlin, starting this afternoon, you'll be the little teachers, so be responsible!"

"Don't worry, brother!" Luo Ying said with a smile, putting her arm around Zhao Lin's shoulder, looking confident.

Zhao Lin smiled, looked down at the jade talisman on her chest, then looked up at Luo Fei, her heart filled with warmth.
