avoid attention. Later generations just continued using this title."The Black Emperor of the North, the Demon GodIsn't that one of the demon kings listed in Yuqing Yin ShuI leaned against the edge of...Because I was too nervous, I forgot that my bet with Jiang Qiyun had already been “going on” for several days. He wasn't around half the time these days, and at night he even learned to take care of the children. I was both surprised and satisfied by his performance.

I thought I could have a peaceful conversation tonight, wanting to check if he was hurt. But as soon as Shaoyi received the call, I got nervous again.

We came to the Imperial City, weren't we, just to see the Grand Elder Our goal is right in front of us. It's hard not to be both excited and nervous.

"...Calm down, you're my wife, there's no need to be nervous." Jiang Qiyun lowered his eyes and looked at You Nan who was holding onto his collar and sleeping soundly. He chuckled and reminded her, "Where did that imposing aura go when you were sending messages through the little boy"

"That's different.... I'm not afraid to talk to you, of course, but with other powerful people, I still get a little nervous."

Hearing me say I wasn't afraid of him, he smirked and reached out to pinch my chin, stroking it: “Good. A wise person doesn’t speak; one who speaks is not wise. Conceal your sharp edges, blend in with the world, transcend worldly affairs, and be indifferent to desires. This is the way of a sage.”

"Taishen, the supreme deity, once said: 'As a celestial being, one should assist the virtuous. The things you hold are no less significant than the temples and state affairs of mortals. There is no need to be anxious or fearful.'"

Is this encouragement I think he said it lightly, not taking it to heart at all.

He certainly had the capital to look down on everything in the world. No matter how capable a person was, they would eventually have to face him.

"That, I'm going with Lin Yanhuan tomorrow."

"Hmm."

"...How are you so calm"

"You want me to stay calm" he asked with a smirk.

Because Younan, the little one, was sleeping between us, we couldn't hold each other tightly. But he leaned over and kissed me on my temple, giving me a feeling of peace, tranquility, and warmth in this moment.

Before dawn, I stood at the mouth of the alley, waiting for Lin Yanhuan.

He changed to a very low-key car, and drove it slowly in front of me.

"Come on, Xiao Qiao."

Well, let's go.

Lin Yanhuan is always meticulous about his work. He asked me to arrive at 5:00 PM to avoid any unexpected incidents on the way, and at 7:00 PM, the car drove into an underground parking lot within an administrative area.

This place is practically an underground fortress, with a network of tunnels and dedicated elevators. The strict surveillance and security measures demonstrate the extraordinary status of this location.

"Actually, after the incident with the Situ family, information about you and your family has already been submitted. I also personally recommended you, but this is a major matter, and the Grand Elder doesn't want another Situ family to appear, so he wants to meet you in person."

"Then do I still need to introduce myself I don't even know what to say..."

"Don't worry, just answer whatever he asks... If there are some parts of your answers that aren't complete, I'll help you fill them in." Lin Yanhuan adjusted his tie.

We were soon led into a courtyard. The style was quite old-fashioned, understated and simple. It was hard to imagine such an important figure working in such a humble setting.

When I met this important person, I was a little awkward. He wasn't as energetic as he seemed on television, but rather looked somewhat tired.

I'll just call the other party "Mr. ," he looked me up and down, and said to Lin Yanhuan, “You kid, introducing such a young girl as a special advisor, do you have ulterior motives”

Lin Yanhuan smiled and said, "Of course I have ulterior motives. Having learned from the Si Tu family's downfall, I would rather deal with naive young girls... at least they can't outsmart me."

"Humph... Mu Xiaqiao, have a seat." The old man nodded at me.

Lin Yanhuan gave me a slight nod and motioned for me to sit down at his lower position.

"Your father has been doing research in every province lately, hasn't he It's been a long time since you've seen him, hasn't it" the old man greeted Lin Yan with warmth.

"Yeah, he's so busy that he doesn't even come home. He doesn't take care of anything at home." Lin Yanhuan smiled.

"With such an excellent son of yours, he must be very relieved... I think the most reliable thing about your family is not your father, but you... You kid, in twenty or thirty years, would you be interested in sitting in this position"

"No." Lin Yanhuan said lightly, "This position is too tiring. I'd rather live a leisurely life like Xiao Qiao, finding peace in a corner and cherishing time with my family."

He steered the conversation to me, and the old gentleman naturally followed up, asking, "Mu Xiaoqiao, I know everything about you, including your two children... Don't get nervous, I'm just concerned... There's also a very practical question. The term for a special consultant is generally ten years. Within those ten years, if the country needs you, you must do your best to contribute your wisdom and provide assistance. Can you stay put peacefully for ten years"

I was slightly taken aback. What do you mean

Does the old man think I'm just taking the wages without doing any work

Are you afraid I'll run away with Jiang Qiyun to some other place to live a carefree life, so you quit

"Is this, do I need to make a promise" I looked at Lin Yanhuan.

He said with a smile, "The old man was afraid that you would have too much work stress and ran away to hide from the world. Then we wouldn't have anywhere to find him."

I quickly shook my head and said, "No, my family and friends are all here. Where could I possibly run off to hide Forget ten years, I probably wouldn't run away in this lifetime."

My dad and my brother are still here, unless... they're gone.

I did not say this sentence.

The old gentleman was more amiable than I had expected. He asked some trivial questions and didn't probe deeply into my "husband".

"The Mu family's background needs to be whitewashed, you should understand this, Yan Huan." The old man said.

This statement was made for me and is now officially being brought to light.

When Lin Yanhuan came out of the courtyard, she looked at me and said, "Didn't expect it to be this easy, huh"

" ... Actually, it wasn't easy. I felt like the old man knew everything."

"Didn't I tell you, those in higher positions know far more than you imagine... Come, let me send you back. Just wait for the order later."

>> >>

Just then, I let out a breath of relief, thinking about going home and bragging to my brother.

"Master is back." As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, Shen's family steward who was sitting in the main hall hurried out to greet me.

I was taken aback. The inner disciples of the Shen family had arrived

I looked around, but I didn't see Shen Qingrui. I frowned and said, "What's going on Does Shen Qingrui still dare to be so willful"

The head housekeeper, Shen, was a bit flustered. She nervously explained: "Master, it's not that Shen Qingrui deliberately didn't come, but... she can't."

"Can't come"

My older brother sat in the head seat and snorted coldly: “….Serves him right.”

Serves you right

"What happened to Shen Qingru" I asked.

My brother scoffs, "What happened You must have caused trouble—"that I would blame him for this. With a sudden jump, he was ready to run away!Before Yin Su Bai, we never dared to make a move because within his aura range, there was no safe place except beside Jian...
