After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

He looks somewhat familiar.

The master said he must have met the other party a few times.

She raised an eyebrow.

He is... the Ming family's chief clerk?

How did I end up working at a teahouse? Was it because of the feud between me and Ming Zhongle?

"Miss Shi—" The old man dusted off his sleeves and was about to bow to Shi Yan, but Shi Yan stopped him with a flick of spiritual energy.

The white-haired old man looked at Shi Yan with some shock.

He could no longer see the realm of his master's words at all.

Back when our young lady said that the young master of the Shi family was practicing the Hidden Sword Technique, hiding his sword for ten years, and that when he finally unleashed it, his brilliance would surely chill the entire land, some people still scoffed at her.

Now, that crown prince.

No... Lady.

She has grown so arrogantly that people can't even see the hem of her skirt when they look up at her.

He looked worriedly at Ming Zhongqing in Shi Yan's arms.

Besides the feud between their young master and Miss Shi over the stolen wife, there seems to be one more piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news is that the relationship between our young lady and Miss Shi is clearly very good.

Miss Shi has always taken care of her young mistress.

I heard that Miss Shi forgave her young master several times, all because of her mistress.

Bad news... It seems that in addition to the grudge of having his wife stolen, our young master is about to have another grudge of having his sister stolen.

"What is this?" He looked at Ming Zhongqing in Shi Yan's arms with some hesitation.

He knew the alleyway the two of them had just come out of.

Tavern.

The only chain tavern in Kyushu.

Rumor has it that the tavern owner's strength is unfathomable, and she can manifest in hundreds or even thousands of forms, making her a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

But... my young lady looks like she's fainted.

Her cheeks and neck were so red.

He was probably... drunk?

Miss Shi has always taken good care of her mistress, so she probably wouldn't deliberately force her mistress to drink.

Thinking of Ming Zhongqing's frail body, the old man could already picture Ming Zhongqing getting drunk and embarrassing himself.

Shi Yan slightly raised Ming Zhongqing's head.

Several maids hurriedly stepped forward and took their young mistress from Shi Yan's arms.

"She got drunk from drinking milk." Suppressing her laughter, Shi Yan pretended to be serious.

"Let her rest well."

"I'll go home first and check on things. When Ming Zhongqing wakes up... I'll tell her—"

"If you need anything, you can come to my house directly."

Boom boom boom—

It seemed as if thunder was raging right there in the street.

The white-haired registrar even wondered if he was hard of hearing.

The maids were also stunned for a moment, then pretended not to have heard anything and took Ming Zhongqing from Shi Yan's arms.

Young lady...drank milk and got drunk! ? ?

This is so strange.

Even though the young lady's constitution was known to be weak throughout the entire Ming family.

But this is too strange.

Shi Yan suppressed a laugh.

She looked at the maids and the registrar in front of her, who seemed to have been struck by lightning.

She knew that once Ming Zhongqing woke up... although these people wouldn't say it directly, they would definitely gossip behind his back.

"Hello--"

"You know that?"

"The young lady got drunk from drinking milk while following Miss Shiyan."

"What!!!"

"Quick! Spread the word! The young lady got drunk drinking milk at Miss Shiyan's place."

"What!!!"

"Quick! Spread the word, the young lady has been scolded by her master..." Cut! This scene is out of place.

Just imagining that scene makes Shi Yan find it amusing.

Full of malice.

There's nothing I can do; I'm just a pathetic woman like that.

After entrusting Ming Zhongqing to the Ming family, Shi Yan left with the Pure Color Mandala.

Even after Ming Zhongqing was carried into the arms of the Ming family's maids, the girl's hands were still tightly clutching Shi Yan's sleeve.

Shi Yan used a little bit of the internal energy of "Snow Cold Skill" to make the girl let go limply.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep.

Let Ming Zhongqing sleep a little longer; it's not a problem if he's sleep-deprived.

Shi Yan staggered towards the Shi family's residence.

Along the way... she had already sensed something was amiss.

It has a sense of impending doom and impending storm.

The Shi and Ming families practically monopolized most of the shops in Nanjun City.

Besides taverns, there are also 'chain stores' that are common throughout Kyushu, such as Yinghua Market, Jiaofangsi, painted boats, Xingtiansi, and Langya Pavilion.

Most of the shops' archways feature either the cloud patterns of the Shi family or the sun patterns of the Ming family.

Shi Yan casually looked at one of his own incense and candle shops and one of his own pewter shops.

It looks ordinary.

But... there were hardly any members of the Shi family in the shop.

Shi Yan clearly remembered that some of the shops were run by members of the Shi family.

If it were just one or two families doing this, it would be one thing.

The key point is that almost every household has experienced this along the way.

What happened to the Shi family?

A pair of invisible eyes opened above Nanjun City and gazed at the Shi family.

Calm and calm.

It looks like they're having some kind of clan meeting.

Aside from the guards, almost all the members of the Shi family, young and old, were gathered together.

Especially in the reception room.

The room was almost entirely filled with the most influential and capable members of the Shi family.

Even Xiaxia and Aunt Yaya were there.

Besides this—

Shi Yan saw the girl dressed in black.

The girl's dress was a standard dark black.

The color of the sky before sunrise, when the moon has set.

It's black with a slight hint of dark red.

The background is black with dark gold piping.

The patterns are not complicated, just simple mountain curves, yet they exude a grand and majestic air.

She is not a member of the Shi family.

even--

She is not from Yizhou.

Even the Shi family couldn't produce such a young Nascent Soul Realm girl.

What? You said Shi Yan.

A teacher's words are a teacher's words, and a teacher's family is a teacher's family.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

To be honest... Shi Yan recognized this standard black dress.

In the game, only one family in the entire Nine Provinces and Ten Regions wears this pure black dress.

Among other families, only the Taiyi Sect occasionally wore black skirts.

But it is also upper mystery and lower mystery?

Instead of a plain black dress.

She is a person of "Heaven and Earth".
