Narrow road, we meet!

ame I can't drink right now," I whispered into Jiang Qiyun's ear.He leaned one hand on the railing of the pavilion, the other holding a teacup to his lips, when he heard me say this, he frowned slight...I don't know how long it's been since I last slept, but strangely, I don't feel tired at all.

"Could it be that I'm just highly strung" I rubbed my eyes, realizing that I wasn't tired at all, and in fact, felt quite alert and wanted to finish reading the letter.

"You've walked through three realms in a short time, your spirit has adapted, but your body hasn't. Perhaps you'll develop complications after a while." Jiang Qiyun raised his hand to remove his outer garment, his movements were very graceful.

It seemed a bit inappropriate to just sit there doing nothing, so I gathered the remaining letters and put them aside.

Just as I was about to leave my desk, I saw a very small letter slip from the pile of mail.

"What is this" I picked it up curiously.

This circle tends to be more traditional, with many elders preferring to use calligraphy brushes and letter paper for formal communication.

But they were all put in formal envelopes, so they wouldn't be stacked that small.

I stood by the desk, quickly tearing open the letter.

The inside is handwritten in calligraphy, and the content is very short.

—Xiao Qiao, I haven't been able to get in touch with you recently through various methods. I don't know where you went. There are some rumors that you went to Japan, but after my investigation, you have no record of leaving the country.

I can only guess you went to some unknown place. I had some things to discuss with you, but since I couldn't get in touch, I had no choice but to give up.

— I've been busy lately and might disappear for a while. You and Yunfan are both gone, which makes me feel like I'm fighting alone...

It's ironic, really. After all these years, I've never felt the urge to confide in someone so strongly, yet the two people I trust most are nowhere to be found.

Perhaps this is what you call "fate".

If you see this letter, please contact me as soon as possible... If, for some reason, you can't reach me, don't panic or be surprised, I might still be on a mission.

——Yan Qin's side, please take good care of him and guide him. Mu Yunfan and you are not ordinary people. I don't believe he would disappear out of thin air. In fact, I find it hard to imagine that he would make any mistakes.

—— Lin Yanhuan, X month X day.

I frowned, looking at the letter. It had been a month by now.

He should be back by now. I reached for the desk phone and dialed Fang, Mr. Lin Yanhuan's assistant.

Lin Yanhuan's phone number is unreachable for ordinary people, and even Fang Assistant's phone number is semi-private. Only those who are particularly familiar with her can reach Fang Assistant's personal mobile phone.

The phone rang for a long time, until it went to voicemail.

I didn't give up and called twice more, but it still went straight to voicemail.

"Strange... Is Fang's assistant this busy too" I thought, I should rush home before daybreak to get a new phone card, otherwise I wouldn't be able to call Lin Yanhuan.

My number is considered "verified", so the interception system will automatically let it through.

Jiang Qiyun had already gone to the bathroom himself. He rarely bathed in the human world. This time, he accompanied me to several places, and didn't have time to return to the underworld.

I took a bathrobe from the redwood cabinet and brought it to him. The showerhead just started spraying hot water, the thin warm air coating the mirror with condensation.

Jian Qi's long, ink-colored hair flowed down her back as she just lay in the bathtub.

"Fill the bathtub with water first and then get in, and let the shower head run slow." I hung up my clothes and walked over to turn on the hot water tap.

The rushing hot water poured into the bathtub, filling the small bathroom with a warm and humid atmosphere. It was very quiet.

After a moment of silence, I began, "I feel...like I've missed so much..."

"How so" Jiang Qiyun propped his head up with one hand, leisurely looking at me.

"It's been two months already I thought it was only a few days. I wonder how my family and Yanqin are doing... And Lin Yanhua seems to have disappeared, and Assistant Fang can't be reached either." I couldn't help but frown with worry.

Jiang Qiyun raised his wet finger and poked my brow.

"Instead of worrying about others, worry about yourself...Dazed and unsettled, how can you cultivate Your little lotus flower cultivation is scattered. The next time you encounter danger, there will be nothing to give you good fortune and opportunity." Jiang Qiyun said.

"Just save a little more..." I muttered to myself, reaching out to test the water.

Jiang Qiyun squeezed my wrist, spread out my palm, and brushed the lines on the palm of my hand with his fingers under the water. He smiled and said, “As for feelings, it's single-minded and profound. As for your career, it's full of twists and turns~~ Your path of cultivation, I don't know how many surprises there will be.”

"Hmph, I retract my hand and mutter, 'What's so difficult about cultivation With demons rampaging the world now, watch me subdue them all—'"

Jiang Qiyun pulled me closer, leaning his head to gently peck my lips.

"... subdue demons and exorcise evil, but don't forget to maintain harmony in your marriage."

“...”

》》》

"...I want to sleep."

"Do not fall asleep."

Is this a joke It's all about "harmony" and "harmony," but you still won't let me sleep.

"Snap out of it." Jiang Qiyun patted my face.

But I really can't open my eyes, I'm so tired.

"Mu Xia Qiao, do you remember or not, I taught you this talisman formula is not the law of the world..."

“I… I’m so sleepy… Can we talk tomorrow… Wait until I’m more awake…” I hugged the blanket and didn’t even want to open my eyes.

Once my eyes are open, I don't know how many things await me.

"...No, I'll wait until you wake up. Even if it means revealing..."

Leak... leak what Heavenly secrets

But I was truly exhausted. Jiang Qiyun's voice seemed to drift from the clouds, and I couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake.

Whatever the heavens may have in store, let it be!

》》》

I thought I would be able to wake up early, but I slept until the morning after tomorrow.

What concept, I slept for over twenty hours!

The head manager stammered outside the door: “That… I couldn’t wake you yesterday, the elders said maybe you were too exhausted, so they postponed the meeting until today.”

"...Fine." It's just embarrassing.

A cultivator would actually sleep in! Sleeping the whole day, what a shame.

I got up and quickly washed, dressed, and put on my hair. Then I put on a headband.

Dress appropriately for the occasion.

I tidied myself up and went to the flower hall to see the children. Jieci was holding a tablet, Younan was reading beside him, and Lanxi was playing with a globe on the ground.

"Where are you going" I frowned.

"There were disciples who followed me to the back garden to feed the bamboo rats," Younan stood up and replied.

"...Feed rats in the backyard" What's that

I had to rush to the front hall and didn't have time to ask too many questions, so I waved over Younan and asked him to go with me. On the way, I could ask him what was going on.

Yunan held my hand and said sweetly as we walked, "Mother, those bamboo rats really like to return here. They dug a hole in the back mountain."

"What kind of bamboo rats"

"It was the last time... those big, fat rats from another world. They were very human-like."s might suddenly emerge.I wanted to uncover the talismans in the four corners of the ceiling, but there's nothing here. There are no stools, no clotheslines, and I can't reach.I ran onto the balcony a...
