Imperial Edict No. 600

're just putting on a show of power!""Lord of the Star of Calculation, I advise you to be cautious in your actions! Do you want to take a trip to Zhushan Mountain""What are you This star sovereign go...I remember that a certain divine being once said: "If there is an immortal emperor, one should assist him."

Jiang Qiyun used it very well. He watched from the side as I fought with Lao Wangye, surpassing himself if he had gone in person.

This feeling is subtle. Before, these subordinates only reported their work to him. Now, facing me who doesn't really understand the "rules" and often asks questions directly, they feel very awkward.

It was like having a retired emperor, the Taishang Huang, still pulling strings. Anyone who wanted to pull their own strings felt double the pressure.

We returned to the courtyard. I hurriedly released the injured little monster beast, and Jiang Qiyun froze its wound, turning it into a small cripple. It pitifully hid behind me.

Xiao Nie was very interested in it, especially since it had blood on it. Xiao Nie licked its teeth and almost scared it to death.

My brother crossed his arms and stared at the ugly little creature, stroking his chin and saying, "Hmm... I think it's best to throw this thing into the underworld. This look... I'm embarrassed to take it out, let alone be surrounded by people watching. I'd think I was a street performer making a living, and if someone took a picture of its crippled appearance, they'd say we were abusing animals."

A-hem...

I lifted the little monster from behind and put it on the table, naming it casually: "Xiaoshan shan. Although Xiaoshan shan isn't a good thing, it's not a bad thing either. It's quite pitiful. It was bullied terribly by Old Wang Ye... It's too weak. When it grows up, it should be powerful."

"Little San San" My brother burst out laughing: "This appearance is too inappropriate to be called Little San San. Who would want such an ugly third party"

"Then you name it. Jiang Qiyun said this is a mountain goat, not Little Mountain Mountain, so what would you call it Little Goat Goat"

"Pfft... hahaha, Lil' Sass Hey, you're so ugly, why is your name so badass" My brother laughed, poking the little monster.

The little orangutan looked very sad. The name was the name of its species, not its own name.

"Why don't we call him Little Cripple" My brother suggested carelessly.

Lin Yanqin listened for a long time and said, “Why not call it Xiao Xing It’s easy to remember and convenient… It's just a little monkey anyway…”

My brother made the decision: “Okay, the name is set, let’s call it Little Star... Should we take it to the vet”

"Jiang Qiyun said he'd take care of it later, maybe sending a little boy over... Do we still have Snickers bars at home" I asked.

"There's a ghost, it got eaten up by the Wolf."

Lin Yanqin immediately stood up upon hearing this: "I'll go buy it, I'll go buy it! Little Qiao, let's go together"

Um, ask me to go with you

Why don't you call me brother

Just as I was wondering, Lin Yanqin came over and took my hand, saying, "Come on, let's go to the supermarket together and buy some New Year goods."

I've already bought all the New Year's goods at home. Lin Yanqin urged me to go out so eagerly, she must have something to say. I put on my down jacket and went out with her.

"What's wrong Did you fight with my brother" I asked as soon as I stepped out.

Lin Yanqin shook her head and pouted, "How could we argue Whose brain could possibly win against Yunfan's It's just that I feel a bit down and wanted to talk to you about it."

Oh, that's good... no argument then.

“Let me tell you, my relatives at home are strongly against it. They think we’re from different worlds. Before my parents and brother even said anything, all the aunts and uncles started gossiping... saying how so-and-so general's son is great, or how so-and-so rich man's son wants to get to know me. What do they take me for!”

"They're looking at you as if you were the only thing they could hold onto. Your dad, his legs are too high for them to reach; your mom, she's too smart; and even your brother, they wouldn't dare try to get close. It's like they've got their sights set only on you." I whispered.

Lin Yanqin seemed to have been holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but complain to me a lot.

Since I've known her, she's always been quite naive and a little quirky. Even when my brother gives her a hard time, she just smiles and comes back to play again.

She is very resilient and has a broad mind. She occasionally gets carried away by her emotions, but she is not stupid and has quite high emotional intelligence.

Now that they're complaining, it must mean they're feeling pressure from within the family.

"Now, besides my aunt who keeps silent, every relative I see has to lecture me. My brother is busy and doesn't have time to protect me. If he were home, just a few words from him would make these relatives too scared to say anything more." Lin Yanqin pouted her lips, complaining very dissatisfiedly.

“Well then… I heard that the times before marriage and buying a house are when couples are most likely to argue and break up, all because of pressure from both families. Actually, most of this pressure has nothing to do with you two. It’s just societal paranoia getting in the way.” I comforted her.

"What do you mean by 'worldly paranoia'" she asked with interest.

"Well, I think it's probably because they feel that the other person is not good, that they will drag down their own family children, and take advantage of their own family... In fact, it's all just over-care from elders."

Lin Yanqin nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, that's exactly it! I was thinking, who I marry is none of your business, right They might even find fault with me in the first place! Why are you all so worried"

She said in a huff.

"...My family isn't picky about you, if I had to be picky, it would be your background is a bit too intimidating. Marrying you in would be a lot of work." I said with a smile.

Lin Yanqin puffed out her cheeks and whispered, "Has your brother ever said that kind of thing"

I nodded. "He sighed and said that if you were an ordinary girl, it would be so much better. I said, if you were an ordinary girl, he wouldn't be moved either."

Lin Yanqin pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before sighing, “My father wants to see him, but he’s so busy. I can only meet him for breakfast in a few days… He can’t even come back for the New Year’s Eve dinner. We’ve arranged for him to come on the day before Lantern Festival. My father said that he only wants to see him alone and doesn't want my brother and me present. I'm worried that Yunfan will feel pressured and back out.”

The drumbeat of retreat, my brother wouldn't back down. When he carried Lin Yanqin up the stairs, he was already prepared for what lay ahead.

He is the kind of person who either lives a life of games forever, or else throws himself into it wholeheartedly for life.

There is no room for compromise, it's that simple.

I comforted and advised Lin Yanqin, and assured her that my brother was not two-timing, only then did she slightly relax.

When we came back with two bags of snacks, my brother was face-to-face with a beautiful woman in ancient costume, staring each other down.

Wow, I just assured my brother that he wasn't cheating. Who is this woman

"What's going on Who is this" I hurried over to ask.

“Who knows! He just suddenly appeared in our yard, saying he wanted to see Yu Gui and You Nan. What are you, some kind of person Don't think that because you claim to be a fairy you can just barge in! Our two little prodigies aren't on display for people to gawk at!” My brother said angrily.

Fairylook." Jun shidi reached out and patted my head."Oh, come on! Don't tease me. Your master is a renowned physician from a powerful nation. Why would he come to see me" she laughed playfully."Since ther...
