Goddess of 1432

these kids are descendants of the necromancers. Originally, no one paid them any mind, but this time the Dragon King suddenly appeared with zombie puppets, and these zombie puppets were unusually st..."Don't talk at the doorstep. Come in first." My brother frowned and said, "I've had enough trouble lately, I don't want to waste time on other people's nonsense. If it's you who caused trouble again, don't expect me to bail you out."

"Yes, yes, yes," Achino nodded. "You two listen first. If you truly find this troublesome, I'd rather lose the business than make either of you angry..."

He followed my brother inside, and I stood at the main entrance of the mansion with the children and Jiang Qiyun. Zhang Yi peeked out from the shadows behind the screen wall, then waved a hand at me.

This painting is a little creepy.

"Miss…" Zhang Yi was afraid of Jiang Qiyun, she hid in the shadows, lowering her head and slightly raising her eyes to look at me.

Jiang Qiyun was using an avatar, his appearance looked just like an ordinary person. However, the aura of aloofness and arrogance he exuded added a touch of chill to the already gloomy mansion.

"Don't be afraid, he rarely cares about worldly affairs and won't take you away for no reason... Besides, you've taken care of Yu Gui and You Nan." I smiled reassuringly.

Aunt Zhang held a special position. She had been caring for Grandmother in her earlier years, and after Grandmother's passing, she continued to look after Grandfather's daily needs. This led Grandfather to consider her his most trusted person; he even commissioned a skilled paper-cut artist to create a "body" for her.

To ordinary people, our circle probably seems strange and mysterious, I used to be afraid too, but after getting used to it, I found that all the illusions are nothing more than one kind of situation.

The separation of yin and yang, attachment is hard to let go of.

All the entanglements, nothing but unwillingness to let go.

"...Miss, I dare not approach the granduncle. I'll just deliver your and the young master's expenses to your doorstep, please take care of it yourselves..." Aunt Zhang said in a low voice.

"Got it, got it~. I'll take care of myself and the kids." I was afraid she was too nervous, so I changed the subject and asked: "By the way, has everything been peaceful at home lately"

Aunt Zhang frowned slightly: “Everything else is fine… It’s just this Qi. He came to find the master, and the master said he wasn’t involved in the matter anymore, so he told him to come find you two. Isn't he back again…”

Has Achoo looked for Grandpa yet

"What did he go to the grandfather for Did he make it clear" I pressed.

Aunt Zhang whispered, "It seems like a big commission. He doesn't want to let go of the big spender, but he doesn't have the ability to do it himself..."

I raised an eyebrow slightly, Archie, what have you gotten yourself into again

The grandfather sat in the main seat of the hall, my brother on his other side. Two generations of the family heads sitting here, even Ach wouldn't dare to sit and speak.

As soon as I entered, Grandpa's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, opened wide.

But his gaze only swept over me and landed on Jiang Qiyun behind me.

At the same time, one of them stepped over the threshold, grabbing Jiang Qiyun's trouser leg.

Upon seeing the children, Tai Ye's gaze softened somewhat. It wasn't that he particularly liked children; it was simply because they were the sons of God. His gentleness carried with it a hint of reverence.

"You've arrived..." The grandfather took his cane, straightened up, and gave Jiang Qiyun a slight nod of greeting.

There were others in the room, and he couldn't kneel too obviously.

Jiang Qiyun nodded faintly, then sat down in the rocking chair himself. Yu Gui immediately climbed onto his father's lap, while You Nan stood obediently by the side.

"What on earth is Achil doing to have alarmed Grandfather" I shifted the focus away from Jiang Qiyun, not wanting everyone to stare at him.

"Um... well, it was a few days ago. A mysterious man came to our company and asked me if I wanted to take on a job." Archie swallowed nervously.

My eyebrows shot up slightly — a mysterious man

"Yes, that man was impeccably dressed, looking like someone of standing... He said there was someone who needed a body beautification and also a portrait painted, asking us to find someone to do it..." Archie's face turned slightly pale.

"Isn't that a strange request You should know some experts in this field, shouldn't you" My brother asked with a slight frown.

Achilles swallowed nervously and muttered, "The problem is... the problem is... I went to the place he specified! There was only one attendant in that funeral home, not a single other person! That's too strange. In our line of work, at least in our province, I don't know any funeral homes I haven't been to. They can't be privately run, right But I've never even heard of this one!"

"That's not the strangest part, the strangest part is...he wants me to have a beauty treatment and paint a portrait of...not someone who just passed away! It's a...dried, dried corpse..."

Archie stammered, his face ashen. He'd seen plenty of dead people in his time, but a desiccated corpse… those were rare sights indeed.

“This man is very mysterious, but his demeanor doesn't seem like someone who would do evil, nor does he seem like a treasure hunter. I told him that I couldn't handle the dead body, this requires an archaeologist to do it, and such things are easy to alarm the officials. I'm afraid this might be something from some big tomb…” Ach whispered and glanced at his grandfather.

The old man let out a cold snort: "Which is more important, life or money"

Archi knelt before the old patriarch and said, "Grandfather's teachings were right. After I came to ask you for advice last time, I lost my courage... But—"

My brother was furious and shouted, "But you! Are you short on money I've been working hard to clean up our family's finances. Do you still take this kind of commission You're going to get the authorities involved! You want me to be investigated by a special review department!"

“I-I-I can’t do it!” Achi shook his head frantically. “But—this mysterious man found me again, and he said, either ten thousand taels of gold, or I would see my family destroyed. He insisted that I help him with this!”

Upon hearing this, the grandfather frowned slightly.

“This mysterious man, he didn’t beat around the bush with me, and… he’s been to my company twice! I can't even remember his face now, it's like there’s some kind of magic… I’m a little scared. The old master said to consult with the head of the household and the eldest daughter, so… I’m here begging you two for advice…” Archie said with a hint of grievance.

My brother also thought something was fishy. He whispered, "Ten thousand taels of gold What era is this Does he even know how much ten thousand taels of gold is worth"

"I find it strange too... Anyway, it must be a huge sum of money, a fortune," Archie scratched his head.

I suddenly thought of the mysterious man at my doorstep. Could he be here to commission us for a task Twist and turn, I ended up at Archie's place again

"And... he also said, 'Isn't your Mu family good at this kind of thing'" Archie whispered. "I think the other party has done their homework, so I came to ask Grandpa for advice. Grandpa said he wouldn't interfere, so I dared to come to Big Brother and Little Qiao."

My older brother stroked his chin and turned to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, since you know our family's situation, you should also be familiar with the Yin-Yang circle... Besides, this corpse... I have to go take a look. It might have come from some big tomb. I need to figure out how to protect it. My father-in-law is very concerned about these things."

My older brother's father-in-law is a big shot, nobody dares to say no to my brother.

Grandpa's white eyebrows were tangled with worry. He felt his time was drawing to a close and didn't want to get involved in something so dangerous.

My brother whispered, "Though zombies aren't very profitable, some extraordinary ones are bought up by foreigners through various shady channels. They want to study them, especially the Japanese... While I was secretly chasing after rare artifacts, I encountered many ruthless Japanese people. I need to look into this."

The old master reluctantly nodded and said, "Now that you're in charge, everything you do affects the family. I can only stay here in the house and keep these descendants in line so they don't cause you trouble...As for outside matters, there's nothing I can do to help."

Archie, seeing my brother, was overjoyed. He jumped up from the ground, a bit chubby, and almost tripped over himself in his excitement, stumbling towards me.

A sudden chill swept through the air around me. Jiang Qiyun pulled me aside just in time to dodge Aqi's attack, shielding me from harm. He exuded a suffocatingly cold aura that sent shivers down everyone's spine.

The old master cast a glance at everyone, and except for my brother, they all hurried out of the main hall. They didn't even dare to stand under the eaves, staying far away from this room.

Jiang Qiyun coldly glanced at my grandfather, and my grandfather followed suit, kneeling on the ground to pay his respects.

"I don't know... What instructions does the esteemed deity have If these mortals have offended in any way, please bear with them." Grandfather said.

"I wouldn't say it was an offense, but the aura this person carries is something I find disagreeable... Handle your own family matters yourselves." Jiang Qiyun said coldly.

What

What on earth did Archie get into furnace.But today…"Damn, it's snowing" I rubbed my eyes and looked out at the white snowflakes fluttering outside.The snow wasn't heavy, but the wind was strong. The whistling cold wind made the wind...
