turned around. Seeing me standing at the entrance of the courtyard, she immediately reminded me: "Miss, it's getting cold now, put on an outer garment, so you won't catch a chill.""...It's nothing, w...Zhao Jie was shrewd and ambitious. While serving under Madam Ma, she always coveted Madam Ma's position and suppressed those below her, who she considered to be her equals.

Especially towards Xi Lingzhou, she favors Xi Lingzhou and has always held a grudge against her master. With Xi Lingzhou in her hands, it is estimated that she will not have an easy time in the future.

My brother used her psychology to turn her against the old fox fairy, and she was also anxious to prove her loyalty to us. Therefore, she gave the old fox fairy the final blow. Now, in order to get our chance to take over Mrs. Ma's power, she is willing to tell us everything she knows.

I have no fondness for ungrateful and petty people.

But my brother, who can speak to both humans and ghosts, laughed and said: "Old Mrs. Ma has passed away. Her disciples and her magic artifacts all belong to your sister Zhao now. I hope you do well in the future so that we can help each other."

"You're saying that to Madame Mu From now on, I will definitely follow your lead. If you have anything to command, I will do my best!" Zhao Jie anxiously declared her loyalty to us.

My brother smiled but said nothing.

I'm not good at this kind of subtle negotiation and manipulation, so I left the fire with Xiao Nie.

The sound of a fire truck blared outside. Xiao Nie looked up at me and asked, “What are you going to do with that little witch Xi Lingzhou”

I pondered for a moment, then shook my head and said, "What else can we do Just leave her with Zhao Jie."

“If you ask me, just kill her. She dared to harm the son of God. How many years has it been since such a child was born If Bai Wu Chang hadn't caught Little Emperor Jun back then, she would have surely been punished by heaven. Does she really think those ancestors and immortals in heaven won't protect their own” Xiao Nie said coldly.

I smiled and reached out to touch Xiao Nie's head. He grumbled, "Don't touch me!"

However, she comfortably narrowed her eyes.

Haha, as expected, no matter the three realms or ten directions, or life and death, everything has "spirit," with its own likes and dislikes, joys and sorrows, loves and hates.

"Xiao Nie, sometimes to deal with someone, you don't necessarily have to kill them... Pushing her into the hands of others can also achieve your goal." I muttered to myself.

"That Zhao sister is shrewd and worldly, she's opportunistic and untrustworthy. She—" Xiao Nie scratched his face with his claws, looking a little uneasy.

"To protect herself, she'll definitely try to please us and make sure Xi Linzhou pays the price to show her sincerity... Besides, no matter how smart she is, can she be as clever as my brother"

I cast a glance back at the thick smoke billowing from the yard.

All things have their time.

There is birth, there is death.

And emotions, too, have their beginnings and ends, as well as... a coming first and a coming after.

When I was sixteen, he left me with fear and pain, a haunting curse. Even though I was in agony and terrified, I still fell under his spell.

Smoke billows in the snow, black and white distinct.

When Jiang Qiyun appeared in the courtyard, he frowned and asked, "Who has upset you"

"And who else... that little witch who keeps coming to harass people, always trying to take things from you to treat her own yin-qi allergy." I said, my voice dripping with displeasure.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his face a mask of coldness.

I secretly sized him up, couldn't see any outward wounds... or maybe there were, but they had healed before he appeared in front of me.

"I heard you got into a real fight, and the heavens reacted with two days of blizzards." I looked up at him.

Jiang Qiyun replied unhappily, “Otherwise Those two fools won't learn their lesson unless they get beaten. Beat them down and they'll quiet down.”

"Does this method of violence against violence work"

"How is this possible I gave them a good thrashing last time, and they stayed quiet for two hundred years. Recently… Humph, it seems their active period has arrived again, so I can't help but want to stir up some trouble."

He walked over while speaking, his hand under his wide sleeve pinching mine playfully. "You're quite something," he said with a smile. "One mention of you catching cold in Younan and I have to stop Such a big face you have."

"Pfft..." I stifled a laugh and said in a serious tone, "It's time to call it quits. A few more days of blizzards, and we'll be adding to our karma."

Xiao Nie couldn't stand our conversation. She jumped onto a nearby tree, causing the snow on the branches to fall and cover my head!

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand to brush the snowflakes off my shoulder and said softly, "Those two little ones, even if they happen to be ill, you don't have to worry too much. They both have the protection of a thousand lotus flowers bestowed by the two great deities, nothing major will happen."

"You should say this to You Nan, I don't believe you wouldn't feel sorry for him!"

Jiang Qiyun is indeed different from me in mindset.

I watched Younan sneeze and runny nose, my heart ached so much, I quickly hugged him in my arms and checked his temperature with a thermometer.

He, however, seemed much more at ease. He reached out and took Younan from my arms, saying in a light tone, "Little one, you just caught a cold. Look how worried your mother is..."

As he spoke, he also squeezed the sleeve of his own clothes to wipe You Nan's nose.

Sneeze, nose mucus!

Could your dark gold dragon-patterned flowing sleeves be used to wipe your nose!

His actions made Younan's eyes sparkle as she looked at him, and even grinned at him.

"I said angrily, "It pains me to see Younan pouting. How come you learned to be so strong in front of you That snot is still blowing bubbles! Just grinning foolishly at you!"

"They all say they understand, but just can't put it into words. You're so easy to bully, who else would I bully" Jiang Qiyun chuckled lightly, rubbing You Nan's head.

"Then you take good care of him, a cold can't have the two children together, for fear of infecting Yu Gui. These two days, we have to let them sleep apart." As soon as I finished speaking, my phone vibrated on the table.

Shao Yihang What's this guy up to again

"Hello"

“Little Qiao, my father told me that he has two hours free tomorrow morning. You and Lin Yanhuan should make arrangements quickly. He knows where to take you, don't ask too many questions. Can't say it over the phone, in case of eavesdropping.” He finished speaking hurriedly and hung up.

I stared blankly at the phone, replaying it in my mind for several minutes before realizing that Shao Yihang was notifying me to meet the Great Elder tomorrow!

Lin Yanhuan's phone call came right after: "Xiao Qiao, 5 a.m. tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of your alley. Be sure to be on time. We're going to wait for someone, and the meeting time might change anytime. Be mentally prepared—"

"Hold on, hold on! Wasn't it said that there was still some time before we could arrange it How come we were notified about tomorrow suddenly"

This came as a bit of a surprise! I wasn't mentally prepared for this at all!

Lin Yanhuan replied matter-of-factly, “Yes, the Grand Elder originally had important work to do, but two days of heavy snowfall closed the airport, so the work schedule was adjusted overnight.”

This... I hung up the phone and looked at Your Majesty, who was lying on the bed playing with the baby.

You're going to give me a blizzard! What am I supposed to do I haven't even prepared my speech yet!

Will the elders be very harsh and stricterate Please make a statement quickly so I can report back to my master!”"You witches do anything to get what you want, allied today and betraying tomorrow. Who knows what you desire I need time to co...
