Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

The backyard, the Xu family's residence.

Upon learning that Li Kun from the Intermediate People's Court had become the deputy director of the First Steel Rolling Mill, Xu Damao couldn't sit still.

Yu Li asked, "Da Mao, is something wrong?"

Xu Damao made a surprising statement: "Lily, what do you think about introducing your younger sister, Haitang, to Li Kun?"

Xu Damao, nicknamed "First Blood Master" in the drama, actually wants a child.

In the TV series, Xu Damao had been married for many years without children, which is why he started looking for someone else. If he had his own children, he probably wouldn't have divorced Lou Xiao'e. Selfish yet clear-headed, he might even have gone to Hong Kong with the Lou family.

In this world, Xu Damao's wife is Yu Li, and they already have two sons.

Although Yu Haitang is beautiful and Xu Damao is somewhat attracted to her, he will not take any risks for her.

Men's attraction to beautiful women is innate; whether they like them or not is one thing, whether they act on it or not is another.

In Xu Damao's view, Li Kun has a bright future, and if his sister-in-law Yu Haitang could marry him, it would be good for the family and also for him.

After thinking it over carefully, Yu Li was immediately tempted. Having a deputy factory director as a brother-in-law was something she could dream about.

"Da Mao, I just don't know if Li Kun will look down on Hai Tang."

"Haitang is not only beautiful, but also has a high school education, so she's not bad herself. Let's try to match them up. Whether it works out or not, it's up to fate."

"My parents and Haitang will be coming over for dinner on Sunday. We'll treat Li Kun to dinner then and introduce him to them."

"That's fine too. We can have Sha Zhu help with the cooking then. We'll set up two tables at home, no, three tables will be enough."

"It's just Li Kun, isn't it? There aren't even enough people to sit at one table."

"The Second Uncle's family in the backyard, Lin Fan's family in the west wing, and Ye Qiu's family in the front yard—three tables should be enough."

"Da Mao, when we introduce Haitang and Li Kun, do we also need to invite Second Uncle and the others?"

"I work in the factory's publicity department. My second uncle is the deputy factory director, Ye Qiu is the factory director, Ye Qiu has a good relationship with Lin Fan, and Lin Fan is the factory director of the second steel rolling mill... It's not good to invite one but not the other."

Liu Yuhua and Yu Haitang have a good relationship, and Xu Damao and He Yuzhu's relationship has improved a lot. The two usually just argue verbally and neither is willing to give in to the other, and they haven't had a physical altercation in a long time.

Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye. Xu Damao ate breakfast and then rode his bike out to buy a lot of groceries.

He Yuzhu made a few sarcastic remarks, then started cooking.

Yu Haitang, dressed in a dress, looked like a flower.

Xu Damao deliberately teased and acted as a go-between, and Yu Haitang looked at Li Kun, her heart fluttering.

Li Kun, who originally had no interest in Yu Haitang, became somewhat attracted to her appearance and figure.

As a time traveler with a treasure chest system, Li Kun was confident in his ability to subdue Haitang.

In a place like a steel rolling mill, there are very few pretty girls.

No girl in the First Steel Rolling Mill was prettier than Yu Haitang.

Working six days a week with only one day off, I don't have enough time to find a partner on my own.

If you are introduced to a blind date by someone else, and it doesn't work out once or twice, your reputation will be damaged after a few failures.

Lin Fan and Ye Qiu exchanged a glance, then walked to the side and whispered about whether they should form an alliance with Li Kun.

Their situations are similar to Li Kun's; having an additional ally would strengthen their overall capabilities.

The vain Yu Haitang would steal glances at the handsome Li Kun from time to time, her heart growing more and more moved.

He Yushui asked with a half-smile, "Haitang, how is it?"

Yu Haitang feigned ignorance and asked, "What? How is it?"

When Yang Jianye, who committed serious crimes, ascended to heaven, he took the entire Yang family with him, including Yang Weimin.

If Yang Jianye hadn't died prematurely, Yang Weimin would have been Yu Haitang's boyfriend.

He Yushui said in a low voice, "Haitang, if you're satisfied, I'll ask Lao Lin to help bring them together."

Yu Haitang is He Yushui's classmate, and the two have a good relationship.

Yu Haitang, who was bold and outspoken, whispered, "Yushui, I'm troubling you with this."

He Yushui beamed with joy: "Haitang, I also hope you can move into the courtyard."

When the food is served, those who drink toast each other, while those who don't eat chat as they go.

......

That morning, Li Kun drove Yu Haitang to the neighborhood office to get their marriage certificate.

Yu Haitang, who was about to graduate from high school, moved into the courtyard and into the Li family's home after getting her marriage certificate with Li Kun.

There is only a little over a month left until Yu Haitang and He Yushui graduate.

The two of them had already arranged their work assignments; they would both go to the publicity department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Only vocational school graduates are guaranteed job placement, while high school graduates are not?

The steel rolling mill recruits several high school graduates every year. Ye Qiu is the factory manager of the steel rolling mill. He can recruit whoever meets the standards.

The phrase "guaranteed job placement upon graduation from a vocational high school" means that all vocational high school graduates will be assigned a job.

High school graduates are not guaranteed job placement, but it's not like they don't hire high school graduates.

After several discussions, Lin Fan and Ye Qiu recruited Li Kun into the Transmigrator Alliance.

To this day, the transmigrator alliance in the courtyard has three members.

Qi Bing, in the east courtyard, was flipping through the ancient books he had picked up when he came across some records that made his bloodlust boil.

"Throughout history, many of our compatriots have been reduced to being two-legged sheep and piglets, and many others have been brutally murdered."

Originally, his immediate goal was only Claw Island, but he decided to include more areas in his target list.

Should I remain still if the enemy doesn't move? I can move regardless of whether the enemy moves or not!

The power of the Divine Thought Dream Entry Technique far surpasses that of the Spiritual Power Dream Entry Technique.

Use the Dream Infusion Technique multiple times to make the enemies in the selected area kill each other.

Too few people, too much space, can't handle it?

Having read many ancient books on Qimen Dunjia and Feng Shui, I set up some Feng Shui formations and Qimen formations to first enclose the land.

In the dead of night, the Qi soldiers teleported away from the northern city.

After achieving a minor mastery of spatial awareness, he was able to teleport on Earth, with a maximum single teleport distance of 1,500 kilometers.

In order to suppress the Way of Earth and the Way of Humanity, the Way of Heaven trapped itself in the primordial world.

The Lesser Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Greater Thousand Worlds within the endless chaos do not have the Heavenly Dao.

No matter how much killing and destruction occurs in the Lesser Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, or Greater Thousand Worlds, there will be no divine punishment.

Visiting places like New Island, Mining Island, and the Philippines, Qi Bing repeatedly used his divine power to enter dreams.

Each time the Divine Thought Dream Entering Technique is used, the effective range is an area with a radius of 1,500 kilometers.

"If you plant a sapling now, it will blossom and bear fruit the year after next."

The Qi soldiers, having left Southeast Huangzhou, returned to the East Courtyard with high hopes.

The following evening, he went to Beixingzhou again.

He learned from many ancient books that Beixingzhou was once inhabited by the ancient Xia people.

Two weeks later, Qi Bing, under the pretext of a business trip, went to Hong Kong again.

Zhang Kai, a wealthy businessman from Claw Island, donated another batch of ancient books that could be replicated using the synthesis skill.

Much of the history of the Great Xia Dynasty was deliberately distorted by the Qing Dynasty with ulterior motives.

Ancient books from underground and overseas are more authentic than those revised versions from the late Qing Dynasty.

The Qi army, which had been secretly plotting countless schemes, quieted down again and continued their ordinary, mundane, and joyful lives.

Yu Haitang and He Yushui, after graduating from high school, joined the publicity department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Yi Zhonghai, whose ranking in the hospital kept dropping, became increasingly low-key.

Yi Zhonghai is the eldest man in the courtyard, but in essence, he is only the manager of the middle courtyard.

Li Kun, who lives next door to Yi Zhonghai, is the deputy director of the First Steel Rolling Mill. He Yuzhu, who lives in the main house, was originally the deputy director of the canteen at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. With the retirement of the canteen director Tang Ze, He Yuzhu was promoted to canteen director.

There were two factory directors, two deputy factory directors, a propaganda department head, and a canteen manager in the compound. As for Yi Zhonghai, this old man, he had long been a figurehead, and many neighbors didn't take him seriously.

With a basic understanding of cause and effect and destiny, Qi Bing's ability to read faces and tell fortunes has increased dramatically.

With nothing else to do, he calculated the identities of his neighbors in the courtyard.

Qi Bing was somewhat surprised, but not entirely unexpected, when he deduced that He Daqing, Jia Dongxu, and Zhang Cuihua had all been eliminated by Yi Zhonghai.
