I was banned by the Revitalization event.

come on!

To act like a master, you must never budge until you're paid enough!

“A cultivator’s word is his bond, and he will never go back on his word. Deal! Thank you, Master Qin. From this day forward, I will become a retainer of the Jiang family. I will have someone transfer the money immediately!”

Jiang Hongtu roared.

She suddenly stood up, pounding her fists on the table as if afraid he would change his mind and run away.

Qin Luo: "..."

Qin Luo: "??"

……

With the crucial money settled, the ensuing dinner became warm and harmonious.

After repeated verification.

The conditions the Jiang family had to offer were 50 million yuan in cash every year, as well as the right to use various channels and resources under their name. Qin Luo's job was to guarantee to take action three times a year, protecting the interests of the Jiang family's second branch without putting himself at risk.

We were full and satisfied.

Qin Luo hailed a taxi and headed south.

The Jiang father and daughter got into their Mercedes-Benz van they had brought with them and headed north.

"I made a profit."

Throughout the journey, Qin Luo kept looking at the bank card in his arms, his heart still pounding with excitement.

Fifty million was still a huge sum of money, even four or five years after the spiritual energy revival and in an era of inflation. You have to understand that back then, the commission for a Foundation Establishment cultivator was at most 20,000 yuan a month, and people had to fight tooth and nail for it. The work was extremely competitive.

Even large families.

Fifty million is a huge sum of money. Unexpectedly, in his desperation to seize power, Jiang Hongtu agreed without hesitation!

Moreover, he also promised to provide access to various channels under the Jiang family's control...

The most obvious benefit.

He can go to the police station tomorrow, use the Jiang family's name to directly access the files, and find his wife's current home address!

Moreover, he only uses his skills three times a year, and his actions do not endanger lives.

It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Holding the thin ICBC bank card, Qin Luo looked out the taxi window.

……

"I made a profit!"

On the way home, Jiang Hongtu said cheerfully that he wanted to get a drink from the ice bucket, but his hands were shaking with excitement.

Although Qin Luo's spiritual energy transformation was a bit strange.

But its size and power make it undoubtedly a genuine illusion.

Fifty million is a bit expensive...

But what's important isn't money, it's resources—the resources for spiritual practice!

The powerful cultivators of the Taixu realm have an almost inexhaustible need for cultivation resources. Just like the patriarch of the Jiang family, he consumes countless rare and precious treasures every year, treasures that money can't buy.

But Qin Luo didn't want anything.

It was just cash, family connections, and free access to the Jiang family—these mundane conditions…

It's like giving it away for free!

Jiang Hongtu slumped in his chair. He had never realized that eating a meal could take so much energy.

But it felt so good.

"Why did Qin Luo agree so easily...?"

Lost in thought, he stared blankly.

He was talking to himself.

"Yeah, why did Qin Luo agree so easily?"

Jiang Qiaomiao repeated softly, took a bite of ice cream, and squinted her eyes happily. This was a dessert from Songheju, a gift from them.

It's delicious.

The girl scooped up another small spoonful.

Jiang Hongtu was still confused, but suddenly he was stunned and looked at Jiang Qiaomiao's face.

It seems he forgot what to write.

Jiang Qiaomiao had been fostered by the Su family in Liaozhou since she was twelve years old, and had been cultivating under her master. She only returned last year. Speaking of which, her daughter was really beautiful, with a figure that was rare among her peers. She was pursued by many talented young men, but she couldn't stand being bothered by them, so she returned to the Jiang family early.

I remember at the dinner table.

Qin Luo didn't drink alcohol, but he kept drinking nutritional drinks and eating fried milk cubes...

The Grandmaster seems to really enjoy drinking milk.

This.

Is this a hint?

"My daughter," Jiang Hongtu said softly, his eyes showing a rare gentleness and kindness.

"Well?"

Jiang Qiaomiao blinked.

"Spend more time with Master when you have time. You're an English teacher, right? I heard Master's English isn't very good. Why don't you go to his house and tutor him sometime, or bring him to our house to study? It's spacious. You're both so young, you should study more and improve together."

Jiang Hongtu said earnestly.

……

Chapter 18 Call Me a Congressman

……

After signing the contract, Qin Luo's life seemed to return to the peaceful rhythm of his previous life.

Cultivators are ultimately a minority in this world.

Most of them are ordinary people living quiet lives.

Since having that meal with Jiang Hongtu, he hasn't come to see me again. It seems that he needs to conserve his energy and build up his strength before the clan selection. Jiang Qiaomiao, on the other hand, didn't leave. Instead, she became a full-fledged English teacher at Xianning No. 1 Middle School and stayed to work, only responsible for one class.

I practiced all night that day.

Qin Luo's cultivation had to stop because he had tried several times, and even when he used the Returning Origin Technique to its fullest extent, no spiritual energy emerged from beneath the earth.

This is unreasonable...

But don't ask Qin Luo, he doesn't know either, after all, he's just a minor deity.

Recently.

It feels like I'm out of touch with the world of monks.

However, Qin Luo quite likes this kind of life. He doesn't ask for much. Protecting himself, protecting his sister, and his wife whom he has never met is enough.

A few days passed by at a leisurely pace.

Saturday morning.

Qin Luo dialed the number Jiang Hongtu had left him and accessed the resident files of Xianning.

Tang Yi's file is in electronic format, a brief introduction with a photo and personal information. The photo shows a girl who is about ten years old, with a neat princess haircut, bright eyes, and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, making her very cute.

I only glanced at it.

Qin Luo immediately realized that this was definitely his wife ten years from now.

Tang Yi, now grown up, looks almost exactly the same as she did as a child, as if she's been enlarged proportionally. Apart from a slightly different figure and a more mature appearance, the future Tang Yi is exactly the same, even the innocent charm in her eyes and brows is identical...

This is so beautiful.

"My wife is so cute," Qin Luo thought contentedly.

Although it will be many years before she grows up, and we can't rush it, it would be very exciting to see her as a child.

Looking at the information in the file.

Qin Luo opened his notebook and casually jotted down Tang Yi's home address.

Let's forget about going to her place.

Qin Luo isn't a pervert and wouldn't have any thoughts about underage children. However, it's okay to wander around her neighborhood occasionally and bump into her. You don't necessarily have to talk to her; just take a look from afar and see how she's doing.

Qin Luo was immersed in the happiness of his upcoming chance encounter with his wife.

Qin Shi came out of the bedroom carrying a cupcake. Seeing her brother lost in thought, she ran over and snuggled into his arms, then leaned over to openly look at his phone.

What an adorable little girl!

How could she be so beautiful? Qin Shi was a little surprised; she was almost as cute as her!

"Brother, who is this?"

"The picture that someone else posted in the group probably came from the internet."

Qin Luo said casually.

He casually closed the picture and put his phone back in his pocket.

Shifting the subject calmly and eliminating evidence is a skill every married adult man must master. While it doesn't necessarily mean hiding anything, appropriate concealment can reduce a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

"The photos online are definitely all filtered and smoothed with beauty filters. Even an old lady can turn into a beautiful girl," Qin Shi said with deep agreement. She put her hands on her hips and taught her brother in a serious tone like a little adult. "I just saw a news report that a popular free chicken was arrested by the police. It turned out to be a boy. A group of people were stupid enough to spend a lot of money to buy his original smelly socks."

How disgusting!

Qin Shi thought people on the internet were really weird these days. Even if they were girls, what was the point of buying smelly socks?

"Then what is real?" Qin Luo laughed, looking at his sister.
