l then Are you afraid of this too" His clear voice struck my heart with each syllable."Uh... scared..."Fear of loss, however, our results will inevitably be loss.I felt like we'd been tangled for ages...Dingguo Temple made a small splash in the news after a long period of quiet.
Monks in the temple were performing a ceremony when they were overcome by "toxic incense" produced by unscrupulous merchants. Several monks fainted, ambulances surrounded the temple, and one monk died of a heart attack due to inhaling too much incense. The old abbot is still being rescued...
My brother was scrolling through his phone, shaking his head and muttering, “Damn, these self-media influencers are amazing. They can get paid to hype anything up, making it seem more real than our own industry! And those so-called Weibo bigwigs just retweet for money, putting on this holier-than-thou attitude…tsk tsk…”
"Anyway, the past is the past. Just let those people talk whatever they want… They just need to make a splash and distract from the truth."
"What are you doing" My brother looked at me as I sliced the apple into pieces and put them in a bowl.
I said helplessly, "Grandma said that children from other families have already started eating complementary food. They need to eat three or more types of vegetables or fruits every day for the two little ancestors. Isn't this teaching Hongyi and Mo Yi how to use a food processor..."
My brother chuckled, looking out the yard. Grandma was practically spoiling the two kids, saying they needed fresh air. She bundled them up warmly, then swayed with them in her arms in the yard.
"Grandma said it's too cold up north and we should go back sooner, what do you think" my brother asked me.
"I have no objections... Has the company registration been taken care of"
"Well, we can start organizing the auction when we get back. But the stuff still needs to be in your box... it's too dangerous to leave it at home." My brother said.
My goodness, those are so many priceless treasures! Let me carry them with me
"Don't you think it's more dangerous to put me on your body What if I accidentally drop the box... how would that even work"
My brother also fell silent. After a long while, he hesitated and said, "Or... let your husband keep it"
Are you kidding me Asking a celestial deity to keep your valuables safe That's way too much face! How could you possibly bring yourself to ask
I hesitated and shook my head. Seeking Jiang Qiyun for such mundane affairs seemed to tarnish the celestial dignity of the Emperor.
Although I didn't think it was important, I told Jiang Qiyun about it anyway. I thought he wouldn't be interested in such mundane matters, but surprisingly, he gave it serious thought.
"Don't flaunt your wealth, these things are trouble magnets. They do you no good kept around. If you need a safe place to hide them, you could talk to Shen Tu Yu Lei, the two ghost emperors." He answered me seriously.
"Huh Consult them"
"There are many hidden tree hollows on the big peachwood trees of Dusuo Mountain. You can hide there, and the two Ghost Emperors can set up a barrier to seal it off. If you're not at ease, you could send that little demon beast named Xiaoxing to guard it. There's also a ghost ape brought by Bai Wu Chang there anyway, so they can keep each other company."
Very well, Jiang Qiyun is truly thoughtful. Xiaoxing can even help pick peaches and distribute them to the gods of all sizes in the underworld.
We were planning to go home. Dad Lin urged Lin Yanqin and my brother to go back to our hometown with grandpa to get some things, so the two of them escorted grandpa back to their hometown.
Lin Yanhuan found me once and chatted with me about what had happened recently. I told him that I was going back, and he smiled and said, "What Don't you like it here"
"This place is so tiring, I'd rather go back to being an ordinary person."
"You're overthinking it. You're a special consultant now. If you get summoned, you have to come running. Is it better to stay here and watch the yard Mu Yunfan also has to fly over frequently to handle things... I know some people in the auction circle, and I'll introduce them to him later." Lin Yanhuan said.
"Well... thank you for your help..." I said somewhat awkwardly. "You keep saying that I owe you a favor, but really, I owe you many more."
"A woman owes a man favors, it's only natural. There are some things a woman shouldn't have to shoulder." He said casually, flipping through files in his folder.
"Come on… you're being a bit of a man-child, aren't you" I asked with a smile.
"This isn't machismo, but rather different roles. Women shoulder more family responsibilities, raising children and educating them, caring for their husbands. A good woman can influence three generations of men." He smiled and looked up, pausing before adding, —
"The best woman in the Lin family has already been taken by your brother."
Oh, I'm so sorry.
"You take mine, I'll take yours. Even Mujia's best man has been taken by your sister."
"Hmm..." He smiled and continued looking down at the file.
Outside the window is a bustling city. He sits in this high-rise, overlooking the prosperity.
Yet the black and white palette made him seem so lonely, isolated, calm yet desolate.
“Farewell.”
"Hmm"
He responded reflexively, then frowned slightly, asking incredulously, "What did you call me"
I smiled: "Yan Qin once said that calling someone's name is an expression of emotion. Just a few words can reveal one person's attitude towards another."
He also laughed, closed the folder and tossed it lightly onto the desk: "Then what's your attitude"
"You have a good name," I said.
"So Want me to read your bones and give you a fortune telling, or calculate your name based on the five elements" he asked with a smirk.
What the heck! You actually know these!
"Indeed, indeed. This advisor calculates with my fingers that Young Master Lin has a peach blossom destiny, but there's only one~ When this peach blossom blooms in your heart, cherish it well!" I said with a smile.
He raised an eyebrow: "Mister Consultant, is it true love or bad luck that's coming When will it arrive Let me get mentally prepared so I don't reject true love thinking it's a woman with ulterior motives."
"...Did you believe what I just said"
"Just cooperating with you."
"...."
Who says this guy has no sense of humor
If you've truly experienced things with him, he will let his guard down. However, very few people get to experience things with him.
I hope his true love arrives soon. Even if they can't walk side by side, I wish he could have a comforting embrace.
But there is one thing that is true, Qiao.
"Huh What's wrong"
"Although my mom is still a little upset with your brother, she... wants you to help her look at the feng shui in the house and my office. She was scared."
Of course, no problem at all! It's nothing major, my brother and I will definitely do our best and won't charge a penny.
"There's one more thing, Xiao Qiao, you need to remind... your husband," Lin Yanhuan frowned slightly.
"What's so serious"
"The issue is that the underworld operates in a terrestrial temple. Old Wang (presumably an old master or authority figure) had my dad sign a secret order to close down the underworld temple and demolish all its buildings. Thankfully, it hasn't been sent out yet."
“Ah! How did you know…”
"Surveillance, my dad's office has close-range surveillance. We privately hired a specialist, and the specialist spent quite a lot of time, based on the images, figuring out the contents of the documents."
This is a real head-scratcher.oom! We were all right there, you know. Lin Yanqin's face was so red it was practically bleeding! She covered her face the whole way and didn't dare look at anyone!” I rolled my eyes. “ ... You act li...
