tching my wrist, is a bit out of place. It's better to hold hands intimately like this and walk slowly.His brows relaxed slightly, the corners of his lips curving into a graceful arc: "Are you blaming...Jiang Qiyun, what are you doing!

I can hear footsteps outside now, he couldn't have missed it.

"Little Qiao, ah." I heard my grandfather's voice.

Hm Is Jiang Qiyun still holding on

I widened my eyes and looked at Jiang Qiyun. A smile, of all things, appeared in those eyes that were so close to mine

In other people's eyes, I am in a twisted posture of resisting yet welcoming.

"Oh, Uncle! You're looking for Xiao Qiao" My brother stopped him at the door.

I nibbled vaguely on the corner of his mouth: "Hmm... Grandpa's looking for... quickly let go..."

"Today is the middle of July, the day when the gates of hell are wide open. You should just stay home obediently." Jiang Qiyun seemed to be using this method to coerce me into agreeing.

"Well, what about you"

"I am naturally very busy today. A little later, on your way home, I will have someone keep an eye on... that fellow named Chong Mo. I have already ordered all the city gods to search for him."

Jiang Qiyun touched my head and moved back slightly.

His lips were tinged with a blush from the deep kiss. Since the moment of sitting and forgetting, he rarely got angry with me. Even if I stumbled and fumbled, and in the end, he came to clean up the mess, he rarely yelled at me.

Besides, there are children now…

"Mama..." The door creaked open, and Lan Xi, who was still unsteady on her feet, stumbled in and ran towards me, calling out my name.

Jiang Qiyun got up and deliberately stood in front of Lan Xi. Lan Xi grabbed the hem of his robe and arched, wiping her saliva all over it.

Lan Xi doesn't like to call him, Jiang Qi Yun has no feeling for the word "father," but the four words "Father" are too difficult for Lan Xi, a little guy who has only sprouted a few teeth.

So Lan Xi didn't call to him, and he coldly and deliberately wouldn't let Lan Xi come hug me.

Lan Xi bumped into his legs, feeling like she was blocked by a wall that prevented her from finding her mother. So she tugged at his hem and strained her neck to look up at him.

Jiang Qiyun raised his eyes, looked at Lan Xi with a cold expression.

"... Father, father..." Lan Xi pouted, trying hard to express herself, but she just couldn't bring the words out. She was so frustrated that the little one even pouted her mouth in distress. Jiang Qiyun still stood before me.

"My Lord Emperor, you seem quite bored..." I watched silently as the two of them locked horns.

Jiang Qiyun leaned down, his big hand pressing lightly on Lan Xi's little head. Then, he lifted Lan Xi up by the straps of her pants.

Just like carrying a kitten or puppy.

“Father, you are too slow to learn to speak,” Jiang Qiyun said to Lan Xi with a stern face.

When I was pregnant with my first child, during the time of Guihe and Younan, my emotions were very volatile. My feelings for Jiang Qiyun were also complicated. But when I was pregnant with my second child, Lan Xi, there was no suspicion or fear at all, only a sense of ease.

Perhaps because of this, Lan Xi does not hold her father in "awe."

At this time, being held high, his limbs slithered like little turtles. He struggled twice but couldn't break free. So, he simply took a bite and kissed Jiang Qiyun on the face.

Jiang Qiyun frowned, handing Lan Xi to me with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "This little one doesn't learn poetry and classics, but he has learned to be disrespectful to elders."

"To kiss you would be disrespectful to elders, wouldn't it Well, I've kissed you quite a few times, haven't I That makes me terribly disrespectful, doesn't it" I said with a chuckle.

Jiang Qiyun chuckled softly, her figure fading away.

As dawn approaches, today is the day when the gates of hell swing wide open. He's busy, and so are we.

I thought my grandfather was coming to call me to participate in the ancestral hall sacrifice, but behind him were Chen Suixin and her mother, as well as my second grandfather.

》》》

Chen Susin is from the Er Ye Ye's lineage, and the Mu family favors her because they have few daughters.

Her temper has been spoiled and she's become a bit arrogant, always finding fault with me. I don't like dealing with her.

She just said that after making a joke, she ran out.

Now with so many people here, it's definitely necessary to explain the situation in detail—we even startled Grandpa.

"Xiao Qiao, how is your injury" Grandpa placed his hands on his cane and asked me in a deep voice.

"It's nothing, just still swollen and painful... Is there something you need" I asked directly.

The old master glanced at Chen Susin, who lowered her head without speaking.

Chen Susin's mother hurriedly interjected, explaining that this little girl had really caused a lot of trouble.

She was studying in the next city over. A few girls in her dorm were chatting away, and they ended up talking about spirit boards. It just so happened that it was a four-person room, so late at night they decided to call upon a spirit board.

I frowned. The spinning plate, or "di Xian" as it's known, actually originated from the practice of spirit summoning thousands of years ago, called fu ji. Now, it's more of a psychological game.

Sometimes when people hear about accidents involving the Spirit Summoning game, most of them are just unfortunate coincidences.

In the dead of night, when the air is heavy with gloom and fear grips your heart.

Chen Susin was born into a wealthy family, naturally she thought these were trivial matters, so she looked down on them and was unwilling to participate. She also spoke very rudely, offending one of her classmates.

This classmate was rumored to also know something about these things, and supposedly even had a master. Feeling that Chen Susin seemed to be provoking her, she challenged her to go "test their courage" together, to see if Chen Susin was more skilled or if she knew more.

The result ended up in some remote mountain village and disappeared. It's already been three days, and only because the police were looking for him did Chen Susin come back to hide.

The Yin Yang circle shuns official affairs, she brought official trouble back, and was scolded by her family. In today's society, will the police not be able to find you if you hide in your hometown

"Practice your courage" I frowned. "How old are you guys You're twenty years old, still practicing your courage"

Chen Susin curled her lips and said, "I didn't go! I wouldn't have the patience to go to some spooky place with a bunch of amateurs to practice courage — ouch!"

In July, one doesn't talk about ghosts. Chen Susin was slapped across the face by her mother.

"Then you didn't go, what trouble did you cause" I asked, perplexed.

My brother interjected: "She didn't go. That female classmate took two other roommates with her, and they lost contact."

"Ah!" My scalp went numb.

Chen Susin didn't feel she had done anything wrong. She muttered, "That roommate unilaterally said something about training courage, I don't have the time for that."

Then she also sent me a challenge and posted it on her Moments... She's crazy, so I just replied "You're the one who's crazy," and then...

The result was a disappearance. When the student's family and friends saw the conversation in her social media feed, they said that Chen Susin had instigated and encouraged the student to leave school and run away.

I frowned. "That's a bit much, isn't it For such a small thing"

My brother scoffed, “That's nothing to worry about... The real trouble is that missing classmate. She has a powerful master who blames the Mu family and wants them to help find her.”

"That female student is so young, she already has a teacher Who taught her" I was a bit curious.

"Her dad is a registered disciple of a cold and aloof school in the north. He's already taken people to look for her, and asked someone to deliver a message to Grandfather, saying that if anything happens, the Mu family will be held accountable." My brother scoffs.

This is also weird, why bring us into this

"Xiao Qiao... you are now the head of the Shen family, and with the title of special advisor... Moreover, an accident happened to the Shen family, and Young Master Lin fell into a coma because of it... Some people in the circle want to take this opportunity to bring you down..." Grandpa said in a low voice.

Chen Su-Hsin immediately cried out, “That’s right! I probably got into this trouble because my cousin is this worthless thing's special advisor! That's why everyone else keeps targeting me!”

The grandfather coldly tapped his cane in his hand, and Chen Susin's mother hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth to prevent her from speaking out of turn.

Now the Shen and Mu families are one. Who am I to be named Mu, yet bear the weight of the Shen family.

I frowned and looked at my brother: "But today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, are we really going to look for someone today"hite hat, a ferocious bitter melon smile, and a long red tongue, he claims to be able to detain souls and increase one's lifespan.These all resemble the legendary soul-callers, Bai Wuchang, one of the...
