534 Temple of the State

"His indifferent chuckle tugged at my heartstrings. A thousand years felt unimaginable in my eyes, and I imagined this old man had little interest in anything."Come on, Qiao!" my brother urged.I used..."A domesticated fox!" Lin Yanqin's eyes widened.

"Well... anyway, she got Qi Ke Xin to confess. After that, it doesn't really matter what the country does with her...that is, Lin Yan Huan, you—" I looked at Lin Yan Huan.

He stood in front of his sister, at the door, looking at me.

A door frame, six talismans.

This line drew a clear boundary between us.

His eyes were complex, perhaps he felt I was different, and didn't know how to face me.

I can't describe what emotion I'm feeling right now.

Without Jiang Qiyun or my brother, I have no back to hide behind. I can only stand here facing his astonished eyes.

Footsteps sounded, Lin Yanhuan's bodyguard rushed over.

I came to my senses and awkwardly hid the Purple Cloud Jade Ruyi behind me.

The action startled him, and he immediately turned his head to say to the bodyguard rushing down the corridor, "Stop."

The bodyguards' footsteps stopped, and Lin Yanhuan slowly said, "Wait a moment before coming over."

He turned toward me, the expression on his face now completely calm.

"Xiao Qiao, what should we do next"

"Cough... you, just take Qi Ke Xin away. Say that she's mentally unstable because she took some unknown medicine... In short, do whatever you want with her. Even uprooted her family, it's no problem. Qi Ke Xin will cooperate and plead guilty." I looked at Qi Ke Xin beside me.

At this moment, the fox spirit's soul was within her body. Before, I had snatched the substitute puppet from Xi Linzhou and kept it in a wooden box made of peach wood.

A peach wood box has a large capacity and can ward off evil spirits.

Lin Yanhuan glanced at Qi Kexin, who had risen from the dead. He probably understood that this was a soul possessing another body and didn't ask about the reason. He simply asked: "Can she be trusted"

Before I could reply, Qi Ke Xin gently bowed and said: "Little Lady, thank you for always protecting me... Last time when Lord Xing Tian came, he didn't hurt me. He said it was because you instructed him to leave me... Thank you... I'm not a malicious fox fairy, and I will repay your kindness. You can ask me to do anything."

Her face was an unnatural pallor, her voice laced with a naturally seductive charm.

I smiled. "You help me act a play now, pretend to be insane, and confess everything. After that... let this house die a natural death. Then you come back here. Your fox head will be waiting for you. When the time comes, you'll stay in my peachwood box and cultivate slowly... Follow me, don't worry about falling into evil."

The vixen was overjoyed. Of course, she knew that following the immortal divine being would bring countless benefits. She immediately replied softly, "As you wish! I will definitely complete the mission."

She uttered "slave" in a bewitching tone, and immediately began to act crazy, tearing things up all over the room.

Anyway, since this body no longer has seven souls, she felt no pain. She just repeatedly rammed her head against the wall, producing dull thudding sounds.

Lin Yanhuan nodded to the bodyguard, and the bodyguard immediately rushed in. I shrank into a corner, trying my best to lower my presence. Lin Yanhuan immediately pulled me out.

"I'll take care of this first... Yanqin, you send Xiao Qiao back."

"Mhm, I understand." Lin Yanqin replied.

Qi Ke Xin was topless. Everyone saw her in such disarray, raving mad, and being carried down the stairs wrapped in a blanket.

Within just one night, this explosive news spread instantly throughout the circle.

"Little Mama, I heard that Lin Yanhuan's father was alarmed. He’s waiting to hand over his responsibilities and is being exceptionally low-key, but he has already called Lin Yanhuan for a private meeting about this." Dabao lowered his voice as he helped shell peanuts.

I was listlessly hugging a pillow, curled up in my armchair. Jiang Qiyun hadn't come back last night. He had Bai Wu Chang deliver a message, saying that the old man called him back to Ziweiyuan for something. I don't know what it's about.

That's good, too. I completed another day of my bet with him. If I hold on for one more day, I can make my first request.

“You eat it around the edges, what time can you peel out a plate” I glared at him.

He smirked twice: “I think it’s pretty tasty. Yesterday, Lao Wu even took me to a street stall for peanut and soybean skewers with beer. It was so cool!”

"Lao Wu Sister Wu Where is she" I asked lazily.

"Well, that idiot drank two liters of ice-cold beer in this weather! Drinking ice-cold beer is so refreshing! She called me today saying she had a menstrual hemorrhage and was in so much pain she couldn't even get up. I'm telling you, she asked for a few days off and won't be serving you." Dabao said with a sneer, "Serves her right!"

Why are all the people around me such characters...

"How come it's so quiet in the courtyard today Where's Xiao Nie" I asked.

Dabo was taken aback and replied, "You don't know Last night, Xiao Nie suddenly disappeared."

"Gone! Don't get caught!" I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Oh, oh, oh, don't worry, it left on its own. I saw it transform into a celestial form and soar away... where it went, I have no idea," Dabao said.

This beast!

Don't you know you're being treated like a pampered ancestor now!

It actually left without a word! When it comes back, I'm going to get it a collar!

"Little Madam, I'm a little worried." Dabao looked at me nervously.

"Swallow the peanut in your mouth first before you speak..."

"Um, hehe... I mean it sincerely. This is the Imperial City, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It's too tiring for you to struggle here... Let's just go back early..." he said earnestly.

I glared at him. "What Missing your wife"

"Oh, no, no, it's not that. I just think you and Madame Mu are both working so hard. Think about how happy we were in the little courtyard... Here, every day is like walking on eggshells..."

I know, I wonder when I'll get to see the Grand Elder!

I don't know what's going on with Shao Yihang yet, is he alright Can you get in touch with his father

Do not speak of people during the day, and do not speak of ghosts at night.

As soon as I spoke, a gruff voice boomed from the front door: “Hey hey hey! What are you doing! How did you get in here!”

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly walked out of the main hall to check.

Before he even reached the bottom of the stairs, Shao Yihang walked in, dangling one arm and smiling lightly.

He was flanked by a group of black-suited bodyguards.

"What do you want to do" I asked, frowning.

He smirked: "Miss Mu, your body though slender and delicate, possesses an air of authority... where's your brother"

"No."

"Well, that's just perfect," he snapped his fingers.

Just in time Aren't you here to harass my brother

"What exactly What do you want to do"

He smiled and said, "Just right, I'd like to 'privately' treat you to a meal..." likes.It turns out Ms. Lin isn't stupid either, she also knows how to protect herself.But Si Tu Lin went to a small county in the southwest, and Lin Yan Huan made a deal with my brother. How are they...
