One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

Early morning, Wang Family Manor.

On the tree-lined path, Zhuge Qing stood with his hands in his pockets, accompanied by the "Three Idiots of Zhuge Liang".

Opposite him, Wang Ye was dressed in loose sportswear, his hair casually tied into a topknot.

"Lao Qing, everyone, are you really leaving?"

Zhuge Meng pouted and lowered her head, grinding the fallen leaves on the ground with her toes.

"Let's go, let's go... Brother Zhou went to the company and never came back, what's the point of me staying here..."

Zhuge Qing's eye twitched:

"Stop dreaming... Even if he doesn't leave, you'll never have a chance!"

"Zhuge...Qing!"

Zhuge Meng's face instantly contorted with rage. "How dare you talk to your aunt like that? I'll fight you!"

"Hey! Da Meng, stop!"

The other two quickly stepped forward to intervene and take sides, and the four of them instantly started fighting!

Zhuge Qing, fighting three opponents alone, still had the energy to mutter in Wang Ye's direction:

"I don't want to leave either, but with these three idiots, how can we not send them home?"

Wang Ye scratched his face, looking helpless.

"So you were sending them back to the Wuhou Sect. I thought you were going to Biyou Village to meet that mysterious Village Chief Ma..."

Zhuge Qing continued his actions, gripping Zhuge Guan's neck and stepping on Zhuge Sheng, letting out a sneer:

"That Biyou Village doesn't look like a proper place at all... What decent person would name a village like that?"

I definitely won't go... Are you going?

Wang Ye scoffed, "Can anyone who goes there be a decent person?"

"Disgusting!"

The two spoke in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

Watching the four Zhuge brothers leave the manor in a flurry of activity, Wang Ye yawned listlessly.

"It's time to say goodbye to Dad."

The family crisis has been temporarily resolved, but only within the Shuzi Sect and the Wang family; no further action will be taken against family members.

If I want them to truly be free from the threat of the Otherworld, I must leave myself!

and…

Wang Ye took out his phone and opened a message.

[Brother Wang, it's best to read this alone.]

The mechanical puppet you just saw is named "Ru Hua," and I created it myself. You've probably guessed the method I used... its name is—Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements!

As inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, we should help and support each other!

【Ma Xianhong!】

He lied to Zhuge Qing.

It's a good thing that the other party isn't going.

But he absolutely had to go to Biyou Village!

Click, click.

The crisp sound of scissors came from the yard.

Wang Ye turned his head to look and saw Zhang Lingyu wielding scissors, meticulously pruning the branches and leaves.

His concentration was so intense that he almost didn't want to disturb him!

Just as he was about to go around to the villa to find his father, he saw Wang Weiguo wearing pajamas and walking quickly out of the house.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Ye, you're here too. Come on, let's go pick up a friend with Dad."

Wang Ye was completely confused and followed his father toward the manor gate.

"What kind of guest is so important that you, sir, have to personally greet them?"

Recalling his younger brother's late-night instructions, Wang Weiguo's lips curled into a mysterious smile:

"Hehe...he's an important person...have you heard of the 'Hypnotist Master'?"

Wang Ye looked completely bewildered.

"To be honest, your dad is planning to expand into the areas of public services and healthcare..."

Are you interested in participating?

Wang Ye sighed.

"Forget it, Dad, I'm not cut out for that."

squeak-

The manor's ornate iron gates slowly opened to both sides.

A middle-aged man stood outside the door. He was plain-looking, the kind of person you would easily lose in a crowd.

Wang Weiguo, however, appeared quite enthusiastic:

"Are you Master Liang? Please come in!"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "Mr. Wang, thank you for your time."

Wang Ye always felt that when this middle-aged man saw him, his eyes seemed to flicker with a hint of evasion and nervousness...

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a clear female voice came from behind him.

"Master Wang! Hello, hello!"

Wang turned around and saw a taxi had just stopped, and a man and a woman got out of it.

The man was strikingly handsome and had a refined demeanor.

The girl had pink hair tied in pigtails...

Who else could it be but Lu Linglong?

The moment Wang Weiguo saw Lu Linglong, a smile instantly bloomed on his face, revealing a meaningful grin.

He nudged Wang Ye with his elbow: "Xiao Ye, you... friend?"

Wang Ye lowered his voice: "I guess so... but we're not that close!"

Wang Weiguo laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder:

"Alright, you take good care of your friends. Master Liang and I will go in and talk first!"

Lu Linglong skipped and hopped over, with the man following closely behind.

"Hehe, Master Wang, this is my brother, Lu Lin!"

Brother, this is the King of Wudang!

"So it's Brother Lu! I've heard so much about you!"

Wang Ye smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for them to proceed.

"Please come in, both of you!"

The three of them walked along the tree-lined path.

Lu Linglong was somewhat absent-minded the whole way...

A pair of big eyes darted around, not missing a single figure in a security guard uniform!

She deliberately didn't tell Zhou Yan that she had come to Beijing, just so she could give him a big surprise later!

Unfortunately, I saw several security guards patrolling with German Shepherds along the way, but none of them were him.

Looking at her like this, Wang Ye suddenly understood.

"Miss Lu, you...you're here to see Master Zhou, right?"

"ah?!"

Lu Linglong blushed. Was it... that obvious?

No, I can't admit it!

She immediately puffed out her chest and retorted defiantly:

"No, that's not it! I was just passing by. I heard you were all here, so I thought I'd drop by and see!"

Click, click!

The crisp sound of pruning came again.

Lu Linglong subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and her gaze was instantly fixed on it.

Under the ornamental trees not far away, a figure in a crisp security guard uniform was pruning the branches.

The afternoon sun filtered through the leaves, casting golden rays upon him and gilding his dazzling silver hair.

"This...this is..."

Lu Lin stared blankly at the trees.

The locations where they were planted subtly hint at the rhythms of Taoism.

Each tree was carefully pruned.

Whether it's the angle of bending over or the height of raising their hands... they are all remarkably consistent!

What... what kind of garden landscape is this?

It's simply a work of art!

Especially the person holding the scissors...

He was just doing the most ordinary gardening work, but the focus of his expression and the elegance of his movements were things Lu Lin had never seen before!

Noticing the gaze directed at them, the person slowly turned around.

A small cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, as red as blood.

Spotless white hair fluttered in the wind...

Lu Lin was stunned.

He murmured, "I never imagined that even a security guard in the Wang family could be such an outstanding person... Oh—I see!"

He immediately turned to look at his younger sister:

"Linglong, is this Zhou Yan?"

Lu Linglong abruptly shook her head, then looked back with a bewildered expression:

"Brother, don't you think this person looks... like Zhang Lingyu?"

Wang Ye slapped his forehead:

"It's Zhang Lingyu..."

Lu Lin: "!!!"

Lu Linglong: "!!!"

The person seemed to have overheard the conversation, and surprisingly, nodded slightly in their direction without changing expression, their voice clear and cold, like a flower blooming atop a snow-capped mountain:

"Brother Lin, Linglong, it's been a long time."

"what!"

Lu Linglong's eyes widened; her body reacted faster than her brain!

She swiftly pulled out her phone and pointed it in that direction!

Click!

The image of Zhang Lingyu, bathed in sunlight, wearing a blue-black security guard uniform and holding large scissors, pruning tree branches, was frozen in time.

Zhang Lingyu's previously excellent facial management has completely spiraled out of control!

His features contorted inch by inch, and before he could even throw away the scissors, he strode over!

"Lu! Ling! Long!"

"Stop it right now!!!"

Whoosh!

A crisp notification sound indicating successful transmission rang out.

Looking at Zhang Lingyu charging towards her like a wild beast, Lu Linglong felt no panic... instead, a sly smile curled at the corner of her lips. Suddenly, she raised her voice and shouted with all her might:

"Brother Zhou, save me!!!"

Brother, save me—

Help me—

Her voice carried far and wide.

Based on past experience... that man will definitely hear his own voice and then appear in front of him in a flash!

He casually extended a hand and stopped Zhang Lingyu.

[Junior Brother Lingyu, where did you get the audacity to attack Linglong?]

Just like back on Mount Longhu... when he stopped the Corpse Demon for himself!

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The surroundings were completely silent, with only the rustling of the wind through the leaves.

The figure I expected did not appear.

Upon hearing that name, Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger and shame in her heart, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"If you're here to see Senior Brother Zhou..."

He's already gone!

pat.

The phone in Lu Linglong's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
