I was banned by the Revitalization event.

on the screen.

There were seven or eight burly men standing at the entrance of the guesthouse, surrounding a white car with a black exterior, silently staring blankly.

The Asian man who was leading the group reached out his hand.

Take it back.

Then he reached out his hand again...

After repeating the process seven or eight times, he still couldn't muster the courage to pull on the car door, which was covered in bird droppings and unrecognizable. Humiliated, the man hailed several taxis and drove off with his men.

Ok.

I guess they don't plan to keep this car.

The little girl pressed her advantage, trying to control the mosquitoes to chase after them, but Qin Luo took the game console first, exited the app, and put it in his backpack.

"Take it slow and steady. If we make a big fuss, they'll easily notice. Anyway, their goal is to kidnap me, so they definitely won't leave until they make their move. I shouldn't scare them away too early."

"understood."

Jiang Qiaoxi stuck out her tongue and sat obediently beside her.

Qin Luo stayed in the apartment until noon, had lunch, and then headed home without lingering.

He came here for two reasons: first, to see Jiang Qiaomiao, and second, to attend the banquet and boost his Dao Heart. Now that he hadn't boosted his Dao Heart and had already had his fun, there was no need for him to stay here. He needed to go home and continue to monitor the progress of the surrounding projects to make sure nothing went wrong.

After Qin Luo left.

Su Yanrou then put down her teacup and slowly walked to the sofa.

"gone back?"

"Yes, Qin Luo said he was discussing business with the Hehuan Sect and couldn't get away." Jiang Qiaomiao nodded, a little regretful.

She suddenly looked forward to the start of school. When she was in school, Qin Luo would go to school with her every day, eat breakfast on the way, and he would always come to play with her during breaks and lunch. Although it was a bit tiring, it was more interesting than staying at home.

Seeing his apprentice's absent-minded look.

Su Yanrou waited a little while before sitting down and rubbing her head.

"Qiao Miao".

"What's wrong, Master?" Jiang Qiaomiao blinked.

"How long have we known each other?" Su Yanrou asked softly, smiling gently.

"It seems like it's been more than ten years..." Jiang Qiaomiao thought for a moment, but couldn't remember anymore. She had been following her master around since she was a little girl, and she still is now.

So many times, and the memories are all beautiful.

A sense of warmth filled my heart.

The girl chuckled, hugged her master, and buried her head in her arms.

Su Yanrou also hugged her, a slight smile playing on her lips, her fingers running through Jiang Qiaomiao's soft hair as she tidied her long locks.

“Sometimes I think, I’ve been teaching you for so long since you were little, and I’ve always been all alone, without marriage or children. To me, you really are like my daughter.”

"You're just like my mother."

Jiang Qiaomiao smiled shyly, feeling her master's gentle embrace.

My master is also very powerful...

In terms of magnanimity, the master and apprentice are quite similar. However, Su Yanrou's gentle temperament often draws people's attention to her face first, and then to her figure, so people tend to overlook her features.

So soft.

No wonder Qin Luo likes to imitate babies.

When he was with me, his feelings were probably not much different from how he feels now, right?

Jiang Qiaomiao's face flushed slightly.

Not knowing what her apprentice was thinking, Su Yanrou simply touched her face, feeling that the groundwork had been laid enough, "Not being married is one of my regrets. Qiao Miao, how about this, in the future when we're alone together, you can call me Mom, okay?"

“Sure!” Jiang Qiaomiao looked up, delighted.

Compared to her birth mother.

Su Yanrou, the gentle woman who has been with her since childhood, actually feels more like a mother.

Su Yanrou smiled and said, "Daughter."

"Mom." Jiang Qiaomiao hugged her master and called out happily.

The master and apprentice spoke back and forth.

They are very close.

Jiang Qiaoxi sat beside her, drinking a glass of iced lemonade. The little girl's fair legs dangled in the air, swaying gently. She watched the two people, whose relationship had changed from master and apprentice to mother and daughter, and seemed to be deep in thought.

She seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what her master was thinking...

but.

She doesn't seem to understand Qin Luo.

If I do this, won't it just get that guy even more excited later?

Jiang Qiaoxi thought about the possible scenarios, but didn't say anything. She just obediently drank her lemonade. Oh well, no matter what, it won't do any harm to the Jiang family.

……

Before going home, Qin Luo took a walk around the neighborhood as a safety check.

Now I know someone is targeting me.

Although the small animals helped us find a batch, we can't be sure if it's the last batch. Protecting the lives of those around us is the most important thing, and being extra vigilant is never an overreaction.

It is not the optimal solution, but it is a general solution.

It went around twice.

The powerful aura surrounding the residential area belonged to members of the Hehuan Sect and the Long family; there were no outsiders.

Qin Luo was relieved. He bought a few cheesecakes outside and a whole box of ice cream that the sect leader liked. He carried them home slowly.

When I passed by the garage downstairs.

Qin Luo suddenly remembered that there were two other people in the garage, people he hadn't seen in a long time.

When he was in school, he would come every day to ask them to write lesson plans, and occasionally he would bring some food. Now that it's summer vacation, even cultivators can fast and not starve, so much so that he had forgotten that there were two people here.

My apologies, my apologies.

Qin Luo quickly opened the garage door to check on the two male prisoners.

In the garage, Li Tianxiao and Du Gang, one holding an English lesson plan and the other a math lesson plan, were whiling away the time with flashlights in their mouths and expressionless faces.

People get bored to a certain extent.

He's even willing to read math books.

"You've finally arrived!" Having not seen natural light for a month, Li Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and clenched his fists.

Qin Luo would come back every day to pick up his lesson plans and also tell Qiu Ling about her situation.

It's been a month already!

"Sorry, I forgot about you guys. Are you hungry? Here's an ice pop." Qin Luo felt a little guilty for leaving them waiting for so long, so he opened the ice cream box, rummaged through it, and picked out two of the cheapest ones to throw to them.

A five-cent pudding.

This price is just right; any more expensive and he wouldn't be willing to pay it.

"How is my junior sister?" Li Tianxiao casually tore open the ice cream bag and started eating it without a care in the world, looking very anxious.

What you eat isn't important.

What he cares about most right now is whether his junior sister has been insulted.

Du Gang looked at him nervously.

"Qiu Ling? She's doing well. You've been treating her well lately... Here, I'll bring her over in a bit so you can meet her."

Qin Luo thought for a moment and then said.

Chapter 254 Good Man Qin Luo

Inside the garage.

Qin Luo's words startled the two brothers, who subconsciously exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Let them meet with Qiu Ling?

After a month apart, how did this evil cultivator suddenly become so kind, promising them such generous conditions? Before, even if they just wanted some food, they would have to copy his teaching materials all night. If it weren't for the fact that they looked exactly the same, they might have thought that Qin Luo in front of them was an imposter.

"real?!"

Du Gang clenched his fists, his face flushed with excitement, and he even felt a strange sense of gratitude.

This heretical practitioner.

It's not entirely without merit; it still has a kind side!

"You guys stay here, I'll go call her down... Meeting her is no problem, but from now on you all need to do your best to complete your duties." Qin Luo pointed to several lesson plan templates placed next to him.

"Definitely!" Li Tianxiao said quickly, unable to wait any longer.

Junior sister!

Having stayed in that hellhole for so long, they must have suffered terribly and been in immense pain.

It's ok.

Her senior brother is coming to save her right away!

Ignoring their reactions, Qin Luo closed the garage door, picked up the cake and popsicles, and went upstairs. If you want someone to work for you, you have to give them some benefits. He wasn't a devil after all; he still had a sliver of compassion left.

back home.

The small home remains as warm and cozy as ever.
