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

The roller shutter door of the small warehouse at the Wang family villa slowly rose.

"Waaaaah—!"

Beside the wall.

Yellow Hair, Little Dog, the Three Idiots of Zhuge, plus the maid Cindy.

Six people, their hands and feet bound behind their backs and their mouths taped shut with black industrial tape, were lined up in a row along the wall.

Neat and tidy!

Upon seeing Zhuge Qing at the door, the three of them shouted even louder...

Zhuge Qing's lips twitched uncontrollably!

It's so familiar...

They're back! They're all back!

This scene!

How similar it was to the scene a few days ago when he and Wang Ye were tied to a tree back to back.

Zhuge Qing withdrew his gaze and gave a wicked smile.

He walked with measured steps toward his cousin and aunt.

The three of them were almost in tears...

Our savior has arrived!

Zhuge Qing approached the three people, squatted down, and turned around.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the three, he pulled out his phone and switched to the front-facing camera...

Raise one hand high and find the right angle.

He made a "V" sign.

Click.

The flash went off.

The three people behind him suddenly froze!

Zhuge Meng forced back her tears, which were replaced by an indescribable fear.

He...he can't be...

Zhuge Qing lowered his head and his thumb flew across the screen!

A few seconds later.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong. Ding-dong!

The phones in the three men's pockets vibrated incessantly, their notification sounds filling the air.

Zhuge Qing opened WeChat, and the top message was clearly the family group chat—

[Join hands to explore the mysteries of the lineage!]

He spread his arms, selected speaker mode, and pressed play...

A furious roar erupted from the warehouse!

[Zhuge Qing! Are you even human?! Release your aunt right now!]

The second one followed immediately, the voice aged and filled with grief.

[What a disgrace! These arrogant and ignorant juniors have completely disgraced the lineage of Marquis Wu!]

No one should stop me... I'm going to see the Celestial Master... His disciple has repeatedly insulted my people; what are his true intentions?!

"The Way of Heaven...what a cycle of reincarnation!"

Zhuge Qing turned around angrily and looked down at the three of them:

"Back then... weren't the three of you the ones shouting the loudest in the group chat?"

No one responded.

Zhuge Guan, Zhuge Sheng, and Zhuge Meng, their faces ashen, had completely ceased their struggle.

"They seem to be a little dead."

Zhou Yan crossed his arms. "If a certain Ms. Feng were here right now, she could just dig a hole and fill it in..."

"Brother Zhou, look at the mess this has made..."

Having avenged himself, Zhuge Qing chuckled and pointed at the three people on the ground.

"These three are all my dearest relatives and friends, my brothers..."

"I'm not exactly a bright thinker, but...can I have a chance?"

Wang was also trying not to laugh.

Zhou Yan glanced at his junior brother beside him and pondered:

"Okay."

Zhuge Qing's face lit up with joy.

"You, Lao Qing, have already spoken; releasing them is acceptable!"

He gestured with his chin, "You four, go find Xiao Zhang to collect your clothes first thing tomorrow morning."

"Stay on the manor and let's all do some collective renovations for a week!"

Zhuge Qing was stunned: "Four...four?!"

He pointed to himself:

"No... Brother Zhou, do I want one too?"

Zhou Yan gave him a cold glance.

Before he could even speak, Zhuge Qing seemed to have already seen it—one of the ropes in the corner belonged to him...

Snapped!

He immediately put his legs together and stood at attention.

He suddenly raised his right hand, fingers together, and pressed it against his forehead!

"Mission accomplished, Captain!"

The movements were precise and the voice was loud and clear.

Zhang Lingyu watched his every move intently, feeling that she should take a picture to record it.

It's mainly for learning.

Zhou Yan grinned and patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder:

"Xiao Qing is good, she's on track!"

He lowered his voice and leaned close to the other person's ear:

"Work hard! I have a brilliant plan that might help you climb the ladder to heaven... and step onto the supreme path!"

Zhuge Qing's pupils suddenly contracted!

The sorcerer's intuition told him that Zhou Yan was not lying!

"How so?" he asked in a low voice.

"Do you know what the key to Wuhou Qimen lies in?"

Zhou Yan smiled mysteriously, leaving his meaning unsaid!

Zhuge Qing looked completely bewildered...

Zhuge Liang...the key to Qimen Dunjia?

"Brother Zhou, please have mercy, I don't understand!"

"The time isn't right yet... I'll tell you when the time is right!"

After saying that, Zhou Yan raised his right hand.

Snapped!

A crisp snap of the fingers.

The tape on Zhuge Sansha's mouth seemed to lose its stickiness instantly, falling off in a row and landing on the ground.

Wang Ye, looking embarrassed, stepped forward to untie the three of them...

"Hey guys, it's a misunderstanding...it's a misunderstanding, isn't it?"

You all said you were Lao Qing's family members long ago...

Zhou Yan turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and left the warehouse without looking back.

Zhang Lingyu quickly followed!

-----------------

The night was deep.

The Maybach's engine started, carrying Zhou Yan and the other man towards the villa.

Zhang Lingyu sat in the passenger seat, looking somewhat nervous.

His back was ramrod straight, his hands were on his knees, and his face was flushed...

"Just say what you want to say," Zhou Yan broke the silence.

Zhang Lingyu's body trembled.

"If you can't even speak up for your fellow disciples, how are you going to make a living in the outside world?"

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath, and her brows relaxed a little.

"Senior brother!"

He said solemnly, "Lingyu understands your intentions, senior brother. It may seem like you are asking me to fight for a higher salary, but in reality, you are teaching Lingyu about human relationships and social etiquette."

Zhou Yan nodded: "Not too stupid!"

"In terms of strength, Lingyu knows she is far inferior to her senior brother..."

They are utterly clueless about social etiquette and interpersonal relationships!

Zhang Lingyu frowned, and mustered her courage to say:

"Lingyu, shamelessly, would like to ask her senior brother if he could offer some guidance?"

Please give me some pointers...

Zhou Yan began to ponder.

This kid has made some progress; at least he's finally humbled himself enough to ask for advice...

But I can't very well ask him to treat Brother Wang's kidney deficiency...

The vehicle moved forward slowly.

Zhou Yan's gaze swept past the rows of neatly trimmed landscaping plants outside the car window...

His gaze froze!

"I have a plan... listen carefully..."

Zhang Lingyu suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up.

Zhou Yan pointed to the greenery outside the window: "See those lawns and trees?"

Zhang Lingyu nodded vigorously.

"Go to the storeroom and find a few pairs of garden shears..."

So it is, and so it is...

"Alright! Lingyu understands!"

-----------------

Ten minutes later.

Wang Ye was leading Zhuge Qing and the others toward a three-story building, yawning as he pointed to the door.

"This room is empty, and while the conditions are a bit poor, the four of you will have to make do for now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure strode out from under a streetlamp in the distance.

His white hair flowed freely, and his face was as handsome as jade.

A small cinnabar mole, illuminated by the moonlight, added a touch of heroic spirit to that fair and flawless face!

The only thing is...

That security guard uniform and the tattered sack on his right shoulder look a bit out of place!

Everyone turned their heads.

"Master Lingyu, why aren't you asleep so late..."

Clang!

Zhang Lingyu, expressionless, threw the sack on his shoulder onto the ground!

The three members of the Zhuge family were on high alert and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Zhuge Sheng shouted sternly, "Zhang Lingyu! What are you doing?!"

Zhang Lingyu's gaze swept over the three of them, his tone indifferent, as if he were assigning a task:

"Senior Brother Zhou has given the order."

"You lot are under my command starting tonight."

The bag was open, revealing several security guard uniforms similar to Zhang Lingyu's, and a pile of metal tools...

The four members of the Zhuge family looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Ye subconsciously took a step back!

No... that expression, that demeanor!

Why are you so angry?

"Um...you guys chat, I'm leaving now!"

Having said that, he slipped away and ran!

Zhang Lingyu didn't glance at Wang Ye once from beginning to end, and pointed to the sack at his feet:

"Take this and come with me."

Zhuge Meng saw what was on the ground and trembled with rage:

"You...you want us to cut leaves in the middle of the night?!"

Zhang Lingyu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her coldly.

"I'm just a messenger; whether you come or not is up to you."

Zhuge Qing grabbed the sack: "Go! We have to go!"

He patted Zhuge Guan and the others on the shoulder, "Hurry up and change your clothes!"

The road to heaven...

There's no way around it, he's just too eager to improve!

The four of them quickly changed their clothes...

Inside the villa.

Zhou Yan leaned against the window and burst into laughter!

[Listen to the wind... Stop!]

"Sure, junior brother..."

Zhou Yan took a sip of his drink and chuckled softly.

I didn't tell him to ask the Zhuge family for help!

"So quickly learned how to raise a big flag... He's teachable!"

I put down my wine glass and stretched.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, I can finally get some rest...

He turned and walked towards the large bed.

hum-

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

The screen lit up; it was a WeChat message.

From: [Liangzi's Small Stomach].

The content consists of only one emoji.

"666!"

Zhou Yan yawned.

They waited all day, but Ding Shian still didn't appear.

What the heck is this "666"?

Tomorrow morning at six o'clock?

He hadn't even had time to type a reply—

In my mind, the system's cold notification suddenly rang out!

[Ding! Keen Observation has been triggered!]

[From the northeast, six people are scaling the wall and sneaking into the manor area!]
