as oppressively cold and heavy with an eerie presence.Two bodyguards stood at the corridor leading to the study. Even though it was broad daylight, I saw a layer of black mist at the entrance of the s...Mr. Lu began to talk about his expertise and then launched into a long, rambling discussion about business with the Seventh Senior Brother.

In summary, he asked the Seventh Brother to find a professional auction house because the waters were deep with such valuable items, and prices could be whatever they wanted. As long as there was brand support and the auction house had a good industry reputation, it would be easy to entice wealthy people to spend lavishly.

"Well, I have some bigger pieces left, but I didn't take them all out because I wasn't sure if they were stones." I secretly glanced at Mu Wanchen.

He probably doesn't even know what this crystal is worth outside.

I'm not really interested in business, so I just sat beside Mu Wanchen's legs on the single sofa.

Although I didn't mind being crammed in here, Mu Wanchen wasn't happy about it. He scooped me up onto his lap and straightened himself up, gently pulling me closer.

"...Don't sit like that, it's bad for your body." he said softly.

Seven Master was used to us acting lovey-dovey, but Lu Zong pushed up his glasses and gave a sly smile: "Miss Yin Er, you two are truly an exemplary couple, so loving and harmonious. It's really enviable. Do you need a honeymoon getaway I have a ranch in South Africa, where you can even go hunting."

“....a rich man.” I curled my lips: “We ordinary people can't afford it, let's just stay at home honestly. I just want to ask you to appraise these stones for me, I need a large sum of money now.”

Mr. Lu was taken aback: "Large sums of capital turnover What did you do Is your family short of money You could just ask a few of your senior brothers for some pocket money."

I shook my head, saying nothing.

To spend nothing I reckon if all my fellow disciples pooled their entire fortunes together, it still wouldn't cover these expenses.

Lu looked at the Seventh Senior Brother and asked, “What did your family's second miss do Why does she need so much money”

Seventh senior brother laughed and said, "Earthquake relief, it cost tens of millions, and almost didn't make it."

Mr. Lu was taken aback and pushed his glasses up his nose. "This caring"

Seventh Senior Brother grinned and said, "Isn't that right Our little Junior Sister is very kind-hearted."

"Well well... If that's the case, I can't just sit idly by... Miss Yin Er, if you trust me, give me what you want to get your hands on, and I'll help you. After it's done, I'll transfer the payment directly to you. Do you need this urgently"

"Of course I'm in a hurry!" I don't really care about the amount of money, such a large sum, a little less is fine.

"Alright, then give me the things. I'll arrange it immediately and have your funds turned around within a week." Lu said, spreading his hands: "With Miss Yin Er's background, you should believe that I wouldn't dare to scheme against you. I certainly don't want to make enemies with you."

He said this while also turning his head to look at Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen seemed uninterested in these business dealings. He just sat beside me, simply accompanying me on this trip.

I wonder if he's still thinking about matters within the monastery.

As we were walking down from Seventh Brother's office building, to the parking lot, Mu Wanchen casually said to me, "Go home now"

"Huh What's wrong" I stopped my hand from pulling the car door.

"...You've been so worried and stressed lately. Now that you're finally home, is there anywhere you want to go I can accompany you." He looked at me earnestly.

"I thought about going shopping, but you're too eye-catching. I feel terrified just thinking about taking you out with me." I said with a laugh.

Mu Wanchen lowered her eyes and smiled, pulling the scarf around her neck higher to cover her face.

"It's okay, I need to keep you company sometimes too. It can't always be you chasing me," he said frankly.

“So you came to Seventh Senior Brother's office with me Humph, actually, I'm very independent. I'm not a life cripple, just too strictly controlled by Junior Brother Jun—"

Before I could finish my sentence, my phone rang. It was Jun, my senior brother, saying everyone was gathered.

"Junior sister, I heard you were looking for me" The sound of bustling airport activity came from the other end of Senior Brother's phone call. He must have just gotten off a plane.

"Brother, you're back Where's my sister" I asked.

He hummed softly in response, then turned to speak a few words to the person beside him before turning back to me and saying, “Junior Sister Yue is with me, we came back together. Senior Brother Si's flight arrives tonight, where are you now Have you come back”

"Hmm, I'm back. Mu Wanchen and I just came out of Senior Brother Seven's office."

"Well then, let's have lunch together. I'll send you the address." He seemed to be busy packing his luggage and ended the conversation in a bit of a hurry.

Before I hung up the phone, I heard him seem to be talking about my sister, as if telling her not to carry such heavy things.

So they seem to be pretty good friends

Junior Martial Brother is actually very busy, he often has to take my father's place when he goes out, and also takes care of his younger martial brothers and sisters.

He always frequented a handful of upscale, intimate Chinese restaurants for both business meetings and dining. They were typically private kitchens rather than large banquet halls.

A quaint little room, with a faint aroma of tea lingering in the air. This kind of place easily allows one to relax and find peace.

When we arrived, Senior Brother and Senior Sister Jun weren't there yet. I lay on the table, fiddling with a teacup, chatting with Mu Wanchen. While I was away, it was Mu Wanchen who organized people to receive supplies from the outside world.

"So, have you also met Lin Yanhuan"

"Having seen them, the siblings share a similar temperament, but Lin Yanqin exudes more of a ladylike air about her, while Lin Yanhuan's aura is more domineering. However, he is very restrained and doesn't show it outwardly." Mu Wanchen commented.

"He's being so hands-on, I'm getting a little scared... I'm afraid of owing him a favor, and even more afraid that he has some kind of plan..." I said softly.

Mu Wanchen shook his head and said, "When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way. The current energy field in the Dharma Gate is chaotic. Even if he has any plan, we can only pretend not to know. We still need him to transport supplies. I have sent people back to the original village base to clean up and repair. The next step is to move the people back..."

With a carved wooden door pushed open, your senior brother walked in, smiling and asking: "What's with the return to the starting point You didn't even eat a meal with me before running off"

"Well, since there's nothing else to say... I've been waiting patiently for my senior brother and sister to come back and welcome me! " I said with a pout.

My sister also came in, she looked a little tired and smiled at me: "Xiao Luo'er, I heard you're pregnant"

Well, coming in so directly I awkwardly nodded: "I guess so... I measured myself, it should be true."

Junior Brother chuckled lightly, raised his hand and placed it on the table, saying, “Come on, let me have a look.”

My sister grinned and pulled out her handkerchief, folding it up to give me as a hand pillow. I raised my hand to take my senior brother's pulse, whispering, "How come I feel like you two are here just to see me make a fool of myself"

“What’s there to laugh about This is a happy occasion,” my sister touched my face.

Her hands, how are they so cold Is it because of the weather, "Sorry, sorry! This is—" She quickly exited the door.I quickly pulled on my thin shirt and glared at Jiang Qiyun, just as I was trying to figure out how to explain myself, a muffled "glug" sound cam...
