was my arrangement, and she didn't dare to bring up the topic of getting married again...That's all I did, Madam. This time, I really told you everything without holding back..."My brother snorted. Or...This is a bit embarrassing, my brother and I are on the same side, but he left me behind to gather intel. It's kind of frustrating.

Jiang Qiyun and my brother were standing by the car, speaking in hushed tones. My brother's phone was resting on the center console, and suddenly it flickered. I glanced at the screen.

"Yun Fan, haven't you gotten home yet If you're still driving, don't reply to my message."

Uh Yán Qìn

I looked up and saw my brother and Jiang Qiyun in the car.

Hehehe, so you're leaving me out

I picked up my brother's phone and pressed the passcode to unlock it.

I know his phone password, and he knows mine. Because of the dangers of our family business and work, none of us can keep secrets about passwords within the family.

As my dad would say, if something were to happen and I kicked the bucket one day, it would be such a drag if nobody could open the safe in our house.

So my dad, my brother and I, we all know each other's phone passwords and bank passwords.

It's a bit strange, actually. I'm this old and still don't have my own bank card.

We only have two cards in our family. One is for household expenses, and my brother has his own card, but he gives me the money to manage because I'm the least spendthrift in the family.

My brother has an allowance every month, which is enough for him to use. He's also good at making money, so my dad doesn't worry about family finances. My brother earns money and then manages it for me. Now that he has his own company, there are professionals and Yan Qin who take care of the money management, so although our family's money is used together, there is no selfishness involved.

To be selfless is truly rare.

In today's world where money rules, it is rare for a family to not treat money as important and still maintain harmonious relationships.

I think it's because my brother married a good wife. She can integrate into our family well, has a good personality, and never causes any trouble. Besides, she's also a beautiful and wealthy woman.

I opened my brother's WeChat, didn't dare to scroll up to his private chats with Yan Qin, but instead politely sent a message stating my identity.

Yan Qin immediately replied: "Eh Xiao Qiao, are you using his phone! Did he get hurt and go to the hospital!"

I quickly explained, "No, no! He was talking to Jiang Qiyun outside the car. His phone was left in the car."

"Yan Qin let out a soft "oh" and sent a mischievous emoji: Are you trying to play a prank"

"My brother and Jiang Qiyun are private messaging without me, so I can only private message you."

Lin Yanqin understood instantly, I think she's too understanding, she immediately replied: "Yes, let's just chat ourselves, no need to involve them."

I was just saying. If I took Lin Yanqin out to play, Jiang Qyun and my brother wouldn't be angry.

Especially Jiang Qiyun, I remember he coldly said there were a hundred ways to keep me behaving and not challenge his patience.

But Lin Yanqin is much braver than me. My brother's harsh words to her are just a part of their daily life, and they can never really argue.

I chatted with her on the phone for a while. She said she felt the baby kicking a lot recently and was particularly enjoying the feeling of being pregnant. She also mentioned wanting to go pay respects and asked me which temple or Taoist temple was most efficacious.

If you want to talk about the most effective Daoist temple... I think it's at the place of Master Lingxuzi.

Qingyu Dao Guan.

I was under the statue of Tai'e Saving Suffering Heavenly Venerable, where I received the Heavenly Venerable's compassion and a special opportunity. He allowed me to make my way by kowtowing all the way to the mountain gate of Qinghua Changle Realm.

Should I go and fulfill my vow

With so much chaos and the Qingyu Taoist Temple suffering heavy losses in the battle against the corpse demons, Lingxuzi, the old Daoist priest, was also injured. Now that I have some free time, I should visit him.

Lin Yanqin really wanted to pray for blessings, she said because of her special family background, she couldn't openly go to ask for the safety of her children and family, she could only go secretly.

If you're really going, ask my brother to come along. He might feel the same way I do and want to go see Qiyue Temple.

Jiang Qiyun accompanied me and sent the little girl to the territory of the great shaman in the Jiari River Basin, while the adult woman was taken away by Lin Yanhuan.

Lin Yanhuan told Jiang Qiyun that he had ways to deal with an adult like this, and that some special departments needed to review and study such individuals.

"He's a clever man, but also a very contradictory one," Jiang Qiyun said to me calmly. "He has strategy and means, vision and breadth of mind. He can be compassionate and ruthless. A man like this will always make his mark in the mundane world."

"...So what were you guys actually talking about" I was dying to know.

Jiang Qiyun chuckled lightly, giving me a faint glance: "Matters between men are none of a woman's concern... You just focus on dealing with your own husband in Nanshan, and worry less about what happens outside."

"...That's sexist."

"You can try to challenge authority, whispering in someone's ear is the most effective."

"That was like saying nothing at all."

Which one worked Which one! The result of every single one was me surrendering!

His willpower was simply beyond that of ordinary people. Once he decided not to say something, there was no way to pry it out of him.

Seeing that I wasn't speaking, Jiang Qiyun asked, "Aren't you bored from staying in Nanshan again, so you came back home to have a look"

I nodded, there's always some concern when loved ones are at home.

He raised an eyebrow in understanding: "I was just at the Qinghua Changle Realm, discussing the Void Mountain of the Underworld with Taichi God. That's why I couldn't get here sooner."

I nodded and said, "Actually, we could also use the Five Elements Fire Technique to burn those little snakes. With you here, we'd be even bolder. After all, with someone backing us up, we wouldn't panic."

"Who could possibly bully you Although Lin Yanhuan is polite to you, he's quite partial. He does everything he can within his power to help you... This is also because he remembers your life-saving grace and wants to draw you closer; as for the Underworld, needless to say, you are the Immortal Empress of the Underworld Emperor, and all the underworld deities dare not treat you lightly. In both the Yin and Yang realms, there are very few who could bully you." He said with a smile.

To be honest, I don't feel like it at all. I think there are too many people who can bully me—but most of them are friendly bullies, the most typical being Qīyé.

"Alright, let's talk about this in the morning. You should get some rest. I've told you countless times that Zi Shi needs to sleep, and every time you come home, it's well into the early hours of the morning." Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly and led me to the warm pavilion.

This quaint warming pavilion, spanning three levels, features an airy arch bridge connecting it to the opposite warming pavilion.

We stayed in the Xiwang Pavilion, and the Dongwang Pavilion was used as a study.

Sometimes I also spend the night in Dongnuan Pavilion. Don't ask why...it's all unbearable experiences.

"Qiyun, that little girl—"

"Just leave it to Mu Wanchen, he's an expert."

"Oh... I think I'll go to Qingyudao Temple."

“Qingyu Dao Guan What is it”

"Fulfill the wish."

"Okay."e me, Xiao Shi Niang and Mu Wan Chen had a deep entanglement.Standing upon that towering precipice, the Witch King's Palace and countless flickering lights lay at his feet.Prosperity and decline coexi...
