Xiao Qiao… I’m sorry I scared you. I just wanted to ask you for help. The Grand Master said they were short-handed and needed two female disciples… I thought you and Song Wei were so close, you would...Lin Yanhuan never jokes. His occasional lighthearted words make me more cautious instead.

"Is it a really important thing If it's too important, I worry that I won't be able to handle it..." I sheepishly admitted my inadequacy.

Lin Yanhuan let out a light laugh: "You were so eager to help just now, but before I even said anything, you backed down"

I really want to help, but things concerning Lin Yanhuan are very sensitive and can't afford any mistakes. If I blindly take on too much without knowing the situation, it might even cause problems.

"Don't worry, you only need to pay occasional attention and put in a little effort." Lin Yanhuan said softly.

"Good," I nodded, walking closer to him and leaning in to hear his instructions.

Lin Yanhuan glanced at the small bamboo rat I was holding in my hand, her brows slightly furrowed: “Where did this little animal come from During a critical period, please avoid touching wild animals.”

I quickly hid the little bamboo rat behind me: "This is a creature from another world. It had an accident yesterday, and I barely managed to save it."

He shook his head slightly: "You are... so kind."

"I'm a cultivator... The immortal path is precious, of course I must cherish all living beings." I quietly rebutted.

Lin Yanhuan stopped talking. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a business card, handing it to me.

The business card was pleasantly warm and pliable. On the surface was Lin Yanhua's name, the one she used in the business world. I stared at it curiously — what do you want my business card for

"Look behind you, silly." Lin Yanhuan reminded.

I turned it over, and on the back of the card was a string of addresses, then a name and phone number.

"Who is this" I blurted out.

Lin Yan's elegant brow furrowed, and he didn't directly answer my question.

He pondered for a moment, sighing softly: “……If it's possible, I would ask you to use the power of the underworld to secretly monitor this person.”

Huh The power of the Underworld

At most, I can only request the local spirits and Yin soldiers to watch over things…

"Would that work" I whispered. "If Yin soldiers keep watch for too long, it would affect the qi field, and it wouldn't be good for the house or the people living there, you know."

"How bad is it" Lin Yanhuan asked.

"Take houses for example. Even if they aren't haunted, you might feel a chill or uneasiness in them. This can disrupt the original feng shui, and potentially significantly impact the property value. Some houses just give off a bad vibe when you step inside, making you reluctant to buy them. It's that kind of feeling..."

Lin Yanhuan smirked: "The house doesn't matter."

Okay, I understand these are all your "possessions".

"The effects on people also depend on the situation. If someone has a Yin constitution and a weak physique, they might be more prone to prolonged illness, and their aura and fortune will also be affected—"

"Will you get sick" Lin Yanhuan asked directly.

"It's hard to say, even practitioners of magic within our circle can be affected by sinister energies. What more so for ordinary people... Should we still be on guard" I looked into his eyes, trying to discern his true thoughts.

Lin Yanhuan, this person, is like an iceberg.

It's not that he's cold and hard, but rather, he's like an iceberg. The part we see above the water is just a tiny corner of the whole thing.

The vast and profound parts, however, silently hide beneath the ocean's surface.

The deep black in his eyes prevented me from discerning his true thoughts — what did this name, inscribed on this tiny card, mean to him

"Lin Yanhuan, do we really need to dispatch Yin soldiers for surveillance" I whispered tentatively.

He slightly retracted his thoughts, his expression shifting from apathy to calmness.

"Yes." He replied with a firm word.

"This person is…" Before I could finish my question, he raised his hand to stop my curiosity.

"Xiao Qiao, some things can't be explained in a few words, and this is not the right time to explain."

Okay, okay, I'll just pretend to be clueless and get things done.

"Alright, I trust you, so I won't ask any more questions. I'll keep a close eye on this person... You can rest assured, I'll do my best to minimize the negative impact." I took the name tag and nodded, pursed lips.

Lin Yanhuan's expression softened a little. He looked at the other hand I had behind my back, struggling to hold two small bamboo rats in his hands, and smiled as he leaned down towards me—

"What are you hiding Am I some kind of ferocious beast" he asked with a chuckle.

As he asked, he reached into my palm and took the two little bamboo rats.

During this special period, I'm afraid you'll become a staff member of the epidemic prevention office..." I jokingly said to him carefully.

He smiled and shook his head. "Where to"

I pointed in the direction of the back mountain and walked alongside him, chatting with him as we went.

Originally, there was an epidemic in a certain place during this period of time, and the situation was extremely serious. Some people died at home without any help to call upon.

"I don't even know what kind of virus this is," Lin Yanhuan said. "Last month, at my father's instruction, I went to several countries in Europe and America in my personal capacity. I needed some medical secrets..."

Hearing him talk about this stuff, my head hurts.

Such a thing, on a national level but unable to be openly acknowledged, is beyond my imagination, even harder than the nine heavens.

How can such immense spirit and pure love enable a person to embody the phrase 'nationalism above all else', putting it into practice and living by it

As luck would have it, our country is not short of these nameless heroes.

Before, you whispered to me about the demons and plagues, I thought it was too outlandish and suppressed it. I only mentioned it in private to my father... You should know that some things can never be spoken aloud.

I nodded. "I understand, you want me to say this to outsiders, and I'm also worried about being reported to the police."

“So after the state secretly investigated and combined with reports from local officials, they immediately calmed down after the initial shock and chaos, and executed a set of solutions. Your family's Emperor letting you retreat to cultivate in seclusion was a wise decision. Nowadays, it's best to avoid going anywhere and not take any missions.” Lin Yanhuan reminded.

"You both said so, where would I dare to move..." I whispered in complaint.

From afar, near a dilapidated courtyard, I saw a large bamboo rat crouched in a hole in the courtyard wall, staring at me.

I was afraid it might turn hostile towards us, so I hurriedly stopped Lin Yanhuan and told him to stay here and wait for me. I went back to return the little bamboo rat.

"You're going Since they are in danger, how can I let you go" Lin Yanhuan took out her gloves, preparing to send them herself.

"Hold on! What kind of person are you, Young Master Lin If anything happened to you, I'd feel like a national sinner! Let me go, let me go! Lend me your gloves!" I impulsively snatched Lin Yanhuan's gloves and put them on myself.

The gloves are too big, I look kind of silly wearing them, but what material are these gloves made of... It feels like there's an extra layer of supple skin on my hand, I doubt even a small knife could cut through them.

The little bamboo rat may have gotten used to my smell. When Lin Yanhuan held it in his hand, it lay perfectly still, pretending to be dead. Then when it returned to my hand, it closed its eyes and twitched its nose, sniffing around, very cutely.

"See, even a monster from another world, with different souls and not of my kind, can still be moved! How adorable!" I excitedly said to Lin Yan.

Lin Yanhuan heard this, her brow suddenly furrowed.ther couldn't help but complain: "Are you guys in the underworld this bored You're still so excited about something that happened a thousand years ago! One piece of gossip can last this long""It's bor...
