ogether. So embarrassing!Uh, we together...I turned to Jiang Qiyun, my head covered in goosebumps.He sat on the windowsill, one leg bent, a long leg lazily stretched down. He had been fiddling with my...Once in a blue moon, my EQ went through the roof. I was so eager for him to like it, like it, like it…

My brother slammed on the brakes, almost making me hit the back of my seat.

He glared at me: "Don't be ridiculous! I don't want Lin Yanhuan to come knocking on our door! Our family is in hot water right now. If word gets out about the connection between the Lin family and ours, Lin Yanhuan will explode!"

I patted my head, suddenly realizing. I immediately turned to Lin Yanqin and said, "That's right! I almost forgot about this. Recently, our house has been tricked by Qi Ke Xin! We're so scared that we don't dare to open the door now..."

My brother doesn't want Lin Yanqin to get involved, but I don't have that emotional burden. I just leaned on Lin Yanqin and asked her to figure out a way.

Lin Yanqin's eyes sparkled as she said, "Leave it to me! I'll have someone investigate who sent it and make them pay. It'll all be settled quickly!"

I glanced at my brother from the corner of my eye, and his mouth twitched.

There's no way around it, the Lin family is a noble lineage with distinguished red blood. Their power is just that arrogant.

Lin Yanqin is aware and clear-headed, but she's not very good at hiding her emotions. She has a simple personality. When she hears about ghosts, her eyes light up. And when she hears about her brother, she eagerly wants to stick by his side.

Such a lovely Miss Lin.

"But...my brother won't let me stay out overnight..." She looked at me helplessly, "Could you please plead with him Just say that I'm here to chat with you about the situation in the capital, staying at your place for two days, and then going together"

My brother turned his head speechless: “Qin, where’s your shame You’re not embarrassed at all now”

Lin Yanqin smiled, pursing her lips: "Being shy doesn't mean you have to give up. When else would I have a chance to observe your daily life up close Besides, there's no reason to act cute and plead with my family..."

His daily life

My mind immediately conjured up the image of my older brother in his oversized swim trunks and flip-flops, playing games all day and waking up naturally.

Would Ms. Lin be frightened by such a slovenly family life

My brother looked embarrassed. I felt he wasn't very willing, but he didn't want to discourage Lin Yanqin's enthusiasm either. It wouldn't be good if he seemed insensitive to a girl who was so proactive.

I tried to help out, and even had to voice call Lin Yanhuan to plead with her. I promised that we would stay for two days, and then set off together for the capital city.

After waiting nervously for a while, Lin Yanhuan sent over a message: "…Okay."

That tone was strained, like you could feel the helplessness on his icy face even through the screen.

With his approval, half the battle was won. Lin Yanqin then called her mother to plead for forgiveness, assuring her repeatedly that she would stay at home in my apartment building and never go out. Her mother was very angry; her voice on the phone was stern, and Lin Yanqin's eyes welled up with tears from being scolded.

My brother, unable to bear it any longer, took the phone and said to the other side, "Mrs. Lin, you're being too protective. Your daughter is 25 years old, and you still treat her like a child. I promise to take good care of her and keep her from going out. I won't expose anything."

Hearing my brother's voice, Mrs. Lin became even angrier, unleashing a torrent of reprimands like a downpour.

My brother scratched his ear: “In short, seeking your consent is respecting you. We could also go ahead without asking for your opinion... Anyway, even if you scold me, I don't care, and even if you come to my door and pester me, I'm not afraid. Just so happens that there are a lot of reporters outside my house right now, if you’re not afraid of making things big, then come on... That's it, we're going back first, welcome to visit.”

He hung up the phone and threw himself into Lin Yanqin's arms: "Little master only eats soft, not hard. Your mother is too controlling!"

Seeing he agreed, I secretly glanced at Lin Yanqin. She gave me a thumbs up.

Lin Yanqin is very filial. She asked my brother to send her home first, and comfort her mother before coming back.

"Don't worry, my mom is actually... pretty good. She just looks scary." she stuck out her tongue.

Those tabloid reporters camped out for hours with nothing to show, Dad pulled the phone line, shut the door, and ignored the storm outside.

Many classmates I hadn't been in touch with for a long time messaged me on WeChat, asking about what happened. Song Wei was spamming the group chat with insults all morning before finally quieting down and satisfying everyone's curiosity.

Lin Yanqin didn't arrive until after dark. In order to avoid being seen, she even wore sunglasses and a hat.

I looked at the three giant suitcases in the yard and couldn't help but tease, "Are you planning to stay until New Year's"

"Huh Is that okay Wouldn't that be too much trouble" Lin Yanqin looked at me with bright eyes.

“...”

Dad muttered beside him, "It doesn't matter how long we stay, as long as we can hold our grandchildren..."

My brother slapped my dad on the back of the head with a fan: "Scram! What are you getting yourself into Find a wife already, or when you get senile, I won't take care of you!"

"What a disobedient son! A son with a wife forgets his father... Won't you even bring me along to play tonight"

I'm completely dumbfounded, this kind of family life... Ms. Lin, can you handle it

I nervously settled Lin Yanqin down. She was surprisingly calm... or at least, she pretended to be.

My brother glanced at her, and she blushed. He just looked up at the sky with an expression of utter bewilderment.

He dealt with seasoned women effortlessly, yet he seemed utterly flustered when facing Miss Lin, a smart and innocent heiress.

Haha, I patted my brother's shoulder: "Dingmao in the lunar column, true love, hmph...let you laugh at me..."

I went back to the room, wishing I could lie on the floor and listen to the sounds below. When Jiang Qiyun came in, he saw me huddled on the ground and frowned unhappily: "What are you doing"

"Cough... it's nothing..." I tugged at my nightgown and walked to the side of my Emperor.

"Did you summon the Black and White Impermanence today" he asked.

I nodded. “I met a black ghost, the Seventh Lord said it was Zhu Weiti’s scout, the Eighth Lord had inscribed a talisman on the ghost and said you instigated it, what do you want to do”

The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and my heart skipped a beat: he wore that devilish and cold smile, definitely nothing good was going to happen.

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand, his slender and powerful fingers making a grasping motion, bringing a luminous orb from within the flowing sleeves of his cloud-patterned robe and presenting it before me.

"What is this..." I leaned down and cradled his hand in mine.

He slowly opened his fingers, revealing a lotus flower the size of a copper coin in his palm.

The petals are as crystal clear and translucent as glass, delicate and intricate, a masterpiece of nature.

"This artifact is called Qian Chong Xue, I got it from the Taiyi Divine." He smiled, holding my hand and placing the small lotus flower in my palm.

This glazed lotus flower hovers in my palm, its radiance shimmering and resplendent.

"What use is this artifact" I looked up at him.

“The measuring tool for your cultivation, once it turns into pure white jade, you'll be able to bloom lotus steps with every step. My little wife…”
