human hearts, the political and business circles… he's the expert. Oh, here comes the elevator.” My brother said.The elevator opening startled me.There is someone inside.And a strong smell of alcohol...Ahem...

When she called out "Mother," my face flushed.

Yun Fan’s master was taken aback for a moment, then raised an eyebrow knowingly and said with a smile, “Oh my, you little chili pepper still has the Great Shaman backing you up. How dare we bully your mother That's why we respectfully address her as senior!”

Lin Yanhuan also stood up, nodded at me as a greeting.

I found that this young master is truly an iceberg face. He doesn't show his emotions on his face, of course, he still has expressions, but his emotional fluctuations are very small. He always calms down before saying anything about what happens.

"Where are they" Mrs. Xue asked again.

"Aha, you put this in such a small jar! It's so easy to get damaged. And stacked like this..." I complained as I went around the screen and handed over the jade box.

I forgot something. Mu Wanchen had pulled out a swaddling cloth from the cabinet and put it in my hands, still warm. When Mrs. Xue took over the jade box, she glanced at the swaddling cloth in my hand and was stunned.

"Uh... this... the cotton and fabric are both pretty good. It's a waste to just keep them in the cabinet..." My ears were getting hot, I was so irritated! If I had known earlier, I would have shoved this thing into Mu Wanchen's hands!

I just thought it was kind of funny to see such a tall and strong guy like Mu Wanchen holding a baby embroidered diaper, so I took it from him.

Who knows, I forgot to put it down and just went straight into the room!

Ms. Xue curled the corners of her lips with a half-smile, saying nothing but directly opened the jade box.

"What do you understand Jade is the essence of stone. The finest jade preserves things for a long time, otherwise why would the emperor go to such lengths to make himself a golden-thread jade suit" she continued the conversation.

That yellowed letter was handed to Lin Yanhuan. Lin Yanhuan frowned slightly, took out his phone and took a picture: "I'll verify it later. If this is an instruction from the old leaders, those more conservative and stubborn people won't have much to say."

"What" I asked.

"Your mother mentioned some requests to me before, which you also briefly spoke of. The main ones are a place to stay and confirmation of your identity. These things can be handled, but... Miss Yin Er, if you want an official position that's publicly recognized, then you'll have to go through the proper official channels."

"What No way, are you asking me to take the civil service exam!" I widened my eyes in disbelief.

"Is that difficult" Lin Yanhuan frowned slightly.

You, with your natural talent and intelligence, of course wouldn't find this difficult! My goodness, I'm just a student on the verge of being expelled, a notorious truant. You want me to take the Civil Service Examination and the Administrative Professional Skills Assessment

"Pregnancy makes you forgetful for three years, do you understand Now I can't see things clearly even without old eyes, I guess my constitution is pretty good…"

"I can't possibly do that this semester, either!" I whimpered weakly.

"You're already in your second year of university, so you can get a bachelor's degree and then transfer to a program for upgrading to a four-year degree. In such remote areas, the requirements for degrees are not very high, and few people apply." Lin Yanhuan was very familiar with these kinds of things.

But I...

Yun Fan, the master, waved his hand and said: "Little Luo'er, just listen to him. Whatever Mr. Lin says is what it is. This is all for your own good. Otherwise, if you casually find some flaws and expose them, many things that you want to cover up won't be able to be covered up."

I sighed for a long time, and with a resigned nod, I said, "Alright, alright. You guys are all big shots, so you decide."

Ms. Xue let out a cold snort: "What are you afraid of Just do what they say. If you fail the exam, let them find someone else to do the job then. What's there to worry about"

Hmm Thinking about it, that makes sense. I guess Lin Yanhuan is more afraid of me failing the exam, right She'll definitely give me a back door then! Who in their right mind would come to this remote and unheard-of place for work

Yun Fan's master scratched his head and whispered, "Your mother's personality is the reason your father hasn't dared to find a lover in twenty years."

Actually, thinking about it now, Ms. Xue and my father should have met privately. Of course, they'd meet infrequently.

Lin Gongzi remained unmoved, and said to me: "Then let's settle it like this. I need a list to confirm identities. How many people are you collectively relocating Compile a list and start preparing in advance."

This made me happy for two days. Master Lin is incredibly efficient. Once he makes a promise, it's put into action quickly. The most typical example is——he sent two old scholars who are experts in setting exam questions for civil service examinations to give me lessons.

I almost choked on my own breath, I often hold my stomach and say that I can't sit for long, half an hour I have to slip out of the small building, but even when I come out, I have nowhere to go, so I have to hide in Ms. Xue's resting room.

She won't chase me.

"How did you get here again" she frowned at me. "You just left half an hour ago."

"I have nowhere to go, no one dares to come here." I cowered on the table, playing with my "new" phone.

"Well, then you just leave those two teachers there"

Mu Wanchen is listening to class.

Ms. Xue smiled: "It's not a waste. I hope you learn from him. It's better to rely on your husband. He is still responsible. You have been spoiled."

"Well...there's nothing I can do about that, huh After all, who am I to blame for being alive and having no one to teach me My old man's too busy chasing after women to even bother raising me. What can you say" I scoffed.

"Didn't your son tell you I remember that child was very composed from a young age. I see him as a trustworthy man." Ms. Xue mentioned the eldest brother.

I thought of my eldest sister and blurted out, "…What do you think Who brought the venomous spirit to that ghost village to attack Taipo, could it be—"

Mrs. Xue smiled: "Who else could it be, isn't it your senior sister She probably thinks I died in the deep mountains and old forests on the border, so she wants to go to the ancestral home to find some treasures. Unexpectedly, grandma had thought that snake gu was easy to refine years ago, so she spent a lot of effort refining a civet cat's gu spirit, specifically to deal with snake scorpion and other types of gu spirits."

She paused for a moment and asked, "How is your mother-in-law"

"Huh" I reacted, thinking she was asking about Old Lady Tai who looked like a monster. After all, they were blood relatives and depended on each other in that kind of place, so their relationship must have been deep.

"The cat demon spirit had taken possession of her house, but Mu Wanchen had subdued it and sent the soul back to its body. Now, the fox demon, Mu Mu, is staying there to take care of it and keep watch. There's nothing to worry about." I replied.

"Where's the meerkat"

I shook my wrist, and the tiny jade tube pendant fell out of my sleeve: "Here it is."

Ms. Xue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "The Witch King is after all the Witch King..."

What does that mean

"He commanded many gu spirits, the other gu spirits feared him and were willing to submit, gu spirits would also be born with a fear of the king..."

I opened my mouth involuntarily and asked, "Gu King"

"Right, right... I seem to have heard this legend before..." Ms. Xue frowned and said with a tilt of her head: "Logically speaking, gu also has yin and yang relationships, what the king of all gu would look like, I can hardly imagine, perhaps it's not even a living creature at all."

Yes, the female gu worm has been in me for a long time. We've merged many times, and we even have children! When will that Gu King be fully formed

Will it be like what was said before, that the female gu will eat the male gu to give birth to the Gu King

It doesn't seem like it anymore, as there haven't been any relevant records for too long. The memories passed down have been erased somewhat, and I'm almost forgetting about this.

Ms. Xue's slightly raised phoenix eyes looked into mine, and she asked in a low voice, "Have you... noticed any abnormalities in his body"xhibited signs of an unsettled soul. After seeing the jade Buddha pendant hanging around Madam Lin's neck, he became restless at night, longing to "take" it."So, could we guess that the little shrimp...
