Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

Helan's eyes narrowed: "Almost seventy years."

Yes, their little one has been away from home for so many years.

The house was eerily quiet.

A vast darkness descended, obscuring the Jiang family in the south.

On the way back, Jiang Ping breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Jiang family's old house recede into the distance. He then turned to Jiang Xu and asked, "Do you know how terrifying your great-grandfather looked?"

He appears kind to everyone and seems to be under no pressure, but this subtle sense of oppression is actually the greatest.

It's even more terrifying than Jiang Bian's overt pressure tactics.

"?" Jiang Xu looked at him curiously: "What did you two talk about after I left?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Ping looked at Shu Ya, who had been listening to the opera all afternoon, and couldn't help but ask, "You, on the other hand, have been listening to gossip all afternoon without saying a word."

"..." Shuya turned to look at him, her eyes filled with absurdity: "The Jiang family head wasn't asking about me."

He has a clear understanding of his own status and position.

The fact that he could sit there peacefully was already a sign that the other party was giving him some preferential treatment out of consideration for Jiang Xu.

He wouldn't be so blind to the current situation after benefiting from it.

Jiang Ping fell silent—which was true, as Jiang Jin had been asking him about his encounter with Uncle Mian the whole time.

He sighed and lay back on the sofa behind him: "I've been talking about Uncle Mian all afternoon, and by the end I had nothing left to say."

Seeing the two insects opposite him looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and inquiry, he had no choice but to rack his brains and recount all the bits and pieces of information he had almost forgotten.

"Is this all you've talked about all afternoon?" As he was speaking, perhaps because it was too warm inside the aircraft, the two little ones poked their heads out from Jiang Xu's clothes.

Jiang Ping's attention was instantly diverted. He stared at the snow-white snow weasel, and seeing its friendly manner, he reached out to touch it.

"Sizzle—"

He was greeted by a stoic glaring at him, baring its teeth.

"Uh—" Jiang Ping's expression froze, and he frowned as he looked at Jiang Xu: "No, it's that fierce?"

Wasn't it easily manipulated by Jiang Xu before, and it didn't resist at all?

Jiang Xu was startled by its baring teeth and looked at the snow weasel with slight surprise: "Shut up."

The ferret immediately retracted its fangs, looked up at him with a blank expression, its eyes full of accusation—accusing this insect of how dare it roar at it.

"..." It looked as if Jiang Xu had bullied it. Jiang Xu raised his hand and flicked its forehead: "You're really good at pretending."

"........" Now it was Jiang Ping's turn to feel uncomfortable. "So this guy only recognizes insects from your Jiang family?"

So you just reject him?

"Look at what you're saying, it won't let my great-grandfather and the others touch it either." Jiang Xu thought for a moment, "Maybe it likes baby insects."

After all, it started by playing with the baby insects.

As for why it became close to him later, it was probably because he gave it food.

Jiang Xu thought to himself.

For the remaining half of the journey, Jiang Ping held his breath, looking at the snow weasel having a great time with Jiang Yi, feeling somewhat annoyed.

But he didn't want to get angry with a beast, so he remained silent the whole time.

Jiang Xu discovered that these elders were sometimes no different from little insects.

He smiled, pulled Fei, who was standing next to him, to sit down beside him, and quietly watched the two little ones' childish interactions the whole way.

Jiang Bian lived in a relatively prosperous area of ​​the capital. By the time they returned to Jiang Bian's residence, there were hardly any insects left on the road outside.

Jiang Bian's residence, from the main gate to the inner villa, was brightly lit all the way.

Upon seeing them, the insect guards at the entrance immediately opened the airspace control of the residence, allowing them to enter smoothly.

"You're back?"

As Jiang Xu entered the hall, he saw a male insect sitting on the guest sofa, looking in their direction.

"Hmm," he replied. "You're back quite early."

Jiang Xu glanced at the wine bottle on the coffee table in front of Jiang Bian; most of the wine inside had already disappeared.

"It is quite early." Jiang Bian withdrew his gaze, staring at the wine glass in his hand, and no longer looked at him.

Jiang Xu was curious about what had triggered this insect.

What exactly is in Jiang Jin's old house that has caused him to lose his composure like this?

He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Fei beside him, seeing the same confusion in Fei's eyes.

Of course, he didn't intend to delve into it further.

After all, curiosity doesn't mean looking for trouble.

"Then we'll go and rest first. You should also get some rest, and don't forget the time we agreed on tomorrow morning," Jiang Xu said calmly to the insect.

Jiang Bian did not answer, but waved at them without even raising his head.

The insects exchanged glances, then, without further hesitation, went straight back to their rooms.

the next day.

When Jiang Xu and Fei arrived in the living room, Jiang Bian was already sitting on the sofa.

He suddenly remembered something and looked at the wine bottles on the coffee table. Sure enough, there were several empty bottles on it.

A faint aroma of sweet wine filled the air.

Speechless, Jiang Xu got closer and clearly saw the dark circles under the other person's eyes.

"Have you been sitting here all night?" he asked.

Jiang Bian glanced at him, a slight smile slowly creeping onto his lips: "Concerned about me?"

"........" Jiang Xu walked to the sofa opposite and sat down, picked up an empty wine bottle from the coffee table, and joked, "I'm just curious, how come you didn't get drunk after drinking so much wine?"

Although the alcohol content of this red wine is not high, the fact that the person drinks it like water shows that they have a good alcohol tolerance.

Jiang Xu put the bottle back on the table, crossed his legs, and looked at Jiang Bian across from him.

The other person smiled faintly after hearing his words.

"Are you sure you can manage like this today?" Jiang Xu asked doubtfully, looking at his half-drunk and half-awake state.

"Male insects don't 'can't'." Jiang Bian put down his wine glass and turned to look at the stairwell: "Those two still haven't woken up?"

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs.

He chuckled, stood up from the sofa, and patted the wrinkles on his clothes: "Now that all the bugs are here, let's go."

Jiang Xu and Jiang Ping upstairs exchanged a glance, then followed the insect in front of them toward the gate.

Since boarding the flying vehicle, none of the insects have spoken again.

Jiang Bian looked sleepy and showed no intention of teasing Jiang Xu.

Soon, the southern capital was left far behind by the aircraft, and another place was getting closer and closer to them—Gada Town.

It is not far from the southern capital; it takes an aircraft at most an hour to reach it.

On the surface, it seems no different from other towns, but upon closer inspection, one will find that the insects walking in this town are all exceptionally wary.

When their aircraft arrived overhead, Jiang Xu had already noticed a large number of insects gathered directly below them.

They were all dressed in the same clothes. After pausing for a while and looking at their flying machines, the insects quickly dispersed and disappeared into the streets and alleys.
