"Nanxiao, we've been brothers for so many years, just eat a bite of the steamed bun your brother brought you!"
Xu Sanshi held a huge meat bun in his hand and looked at Ye Nanxiao with hopeful eyes.
"Yeah, Nanxiao, don't you know who we are? Have a bite of this braised chicken wing! I put in twice the amount of powdered sugar!"
Beibei held up a braised chicken wing that was bigger than her fist, covered with snow-white icing.
"Don't listen to them, Muddy! I just made your favorite sticky rice chicken! I put in two big chicken drumsticks! Have a bite!"
Huo Yuhao held up a giant glutinous rice chicken and brought it to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao, who was being held upside down to admit his mistake, shifted his body and turned to He Caitou, who was holding several cigars, and asked, "Caitou, you wouldn't happen to be here to send me on my way, would you?"
Holding a cigar, He Caitou stared longingly at the food in Huo Yuhao and the other two's hands, then awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Well, I can't cook. I usually just smoke a cigar when I'm hungry. Why don't you give it a try, Nanxiao?"
"It's quite filling, but you need to smoke a few more."
Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes. These guys who were trying to curry favor with him were clearly here to find out what the Gundam he had mentioned earlier was, whether that big treasure that could carry a person had been made yet, and how it was made.
That's one of my most prized possessions. How could you possibly buy it off with all that fancy stuff you guys cooked?
Jiang Nannan sat at the conference table, earnestly explaining the future plans of the Tang Sect, while the audience consisted of the sect leader of the Tang Sect.
Tang Ya stared longingly at Jiang Nannan, her pitiful eyes almost overflowing with tears.
She's clearly the leader of the Tang Clan!
Why does the eldest still have to attend classes?
Isn't there also the second-in-command, who is the deputy sect leader?
Second brother! Nanxiao! Wake up! Get your act together!
"Alright, Sect Master, stop looking. The Deputy Sect Master won't admit his mistake anytime soon. So, did you hear what I just said about the strategic proposal for cooperation and development with the Heavenly Soul Empire, specifically the eighth point about the on-site inspection laboratory project?" Jiang Nannan adjusted her glasses, revealing a rational and cold light.
Tang Ya shrank back, stammering, "I heard. It's about us sending people to the Heavenly Soul Empire to build something in that... plaza?"
Jiang Nannan glared at Tang Ya. Why did it seem like Tang Ya's enthusiasm had diminished considerably after she got married?
"It's built on an unnamed hill about 3,000 meters outside Tiandou City, to facilitate the establishment of a soul tool testing ground! Xiaoya! Listen carefully! Go back and memorize this report!" Jiang Nannan reached out and pinched Tang Ya's little face.
"Oh dear! I know! I know! If you keep pulling my face, it'll get bigger!" Tang Ya cried out, pretending to be crying.
Jiang Nannan withdrew her hand, gently rubbed Tang Ya's slightly flushed cheeks, and said, "Honestly, Xiao Ya has become increasingly lazy lately! She can't be like my fox, a lazy bum! The entire Tang Clan depends on us to keep it afloat!"
Tang Ya rubbed her face, muttering to herself, "If only I could be like Nan Xiao, handling a ton of things every day and still managing to slack off. If I could be like that, the Tang Sect wouldn't just become powerful overnight, but becoming a top sect within a year would be just around the corner."
"Hey, the sect leader got scolded, shouldn't you, as the sect leader's wife, go and comfort him?" Ye Nanxiao teased.
Beibei quickly shook his head. If he went, he would get scolded along with Tang Ya. At least he could be Tang Ya's punching bag and comfort his little wife later.
Xu Sanshi stuffed a meat bun into his mouth and ate it himself, saying, "Nanxiao, it's not that we're all slacking off or not doing any work. It's just that you two are incredibly capable. You're each doing the work of a whole team."
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong'er, who was happily joining in the fun, with some concern, wondering if his Dong'er would turn into Sister Nan Nan in the future.
The Vice Sect Master's family status is already obvious to all. I shouldn't end up like my older brother, right?
Ye Nanxiao sighed and said, "That high work efficiency is entirely due to experience. Nannan has truly learned from my experience! Let alone being a secretary, she could easily be a female CEO!"
Hello, female CEO! Long legs in black stockings and business attire.
Unfortunately, her personality is also gradually changing.
My gentle and virtuous little white rabbit!
The meeting lasted a full two hours before it ended.
Ye Nanxiao collapsed onto the sofa, looking utterly disgusted.
Regarding the Snow Demon Sect, the Tang Sect decided to stick to the original roster for the battle. However, given that Ye Nanxiao was already a key research target for the team, they decided to put him at the head of the team as a feint.
In fact, the Tangmen team is currently strong enough to not fear any of the top eight teams, especially given that they have sufficient intelligence.
Ye Nanxiao quickly devised a tactic to counter Long Aotian, and also mentioned that Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire was within the age range stipulated in the competition and was likely to participate as a team member.
However, Ye Nanxiao was a little unsure about what Vina's martial soul was.
Since Long Aotian had disgusted him before, he should return the favor by showing up on the sidelines and disgusting the guy.
"Buzzing"
Ye Nanxiao felt the communication soul tool in his arms vibrate. He took out the communication soul tool that was connected to Ju Zi.
Sun and Moon Palace.
On the spacious and magnificent palace road, eunuchs and palace maids would occasionally jog past.
Orange, accompanied by Ye Guyi, her personal maid, walked along the palace path toward the Hall of Offerings.
"There are so few people. It seems like there are far fewer people than last time." Ye Guyi wore a disguise mask and observed the eunuchs and maids coming and going on the palace road through the mask.
Orange glanced at the golden apricots on both sides of the palace path. Due to a lack of careful care and maintenance, the golden apricots were not growing well and their appearance was not attractive.
"Generally speaking, the more people in the palace, the more lively it is, and the easier it is to arouse restlessness." Orange reached out and caught a fallen golden apricot leaf. The yellowish-brown leaf indicated that the golden apricot tree had aged.
"Lively?" Ye Guyi looked up at the golden apricot tree, which had already lost a lot of leaves and was gradually losing its vitality.
"Oh dear, there are too many people. If you're unhappy, just rip them off for a small amount. That's the idea." Orange spread her hands, letting the apricot leaf in her hand drift away in the wind.
In the palace, Xu Tianran has recently beheaded quite a few eunuchs out of displeasure, so much so that the huge palace is often found to be empty.
"Hmph, despicable superiors!" Ye Guyi sneered.
Orange reached out and covered Ye Guyi's small mouth. "My dear aunt, please keep your voice down. If you have something to say, just mutter it to yourself. Let's go, let's go to the offering hall."
"Grandpa Kong is still waiting for us."
Before long, Ju Zi arrived at the offering hall with Ye Gu Yi.
The latest novel is first published here!
An old man sitting at the door opened his eyes, looked at Ju Zi, then reached out and took the token Ju Zi handed him, nodding.
The two women walked into the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
The building of the offering hall is not very luxurious; in fact, it is rather simple. Ye Guyi could still see the peeling paint and damaged bricks.
"The Hall of Worship was actually built by Grandpa Confucius. It was originally a laboratory, but it was later converted into a Hall of Worship. However, the worshippers were all granted residences by the emperor and did not need to stay in the Hall of Worship. Strictly speaking, the Hall of Worship is actually Grandpa Confucius's home," Orange said as she walked.
Although the exterior of the shrine is dilapidated, the interior is a fully equipped laboratory, though the floor is littered with materials and metal, making it difficult to find a place to stand.
Ju Zi looked helplessly at the messy floor. She had just brought people to clean Kong Deming's laboratory not long ago.
A figure carrying a bucket of water swayed and flew out. When he saw the orange, the smile on his face made his wrinkles fold together.
"Ju Zi, it's been a long time since Grandpa has seen you visit him," Kong Deming said cheerfully.
Orange carefully picked up the parts and materials from the ground and placed them on several large experimental tables next to her.
Ye Guyi, clutching a large pile of metal, looked like a squirrel hoarding food, completely bewildered.
Kong Deming glanced at Ye Guyi, who was quite familiar with this personal maid of Ju Zi. With a wave of his hand, the parts, materials, and metals on the ground flew back to their original positions.
Ye Guyi's expression changed slightly. There were at least tens of thousands of parts, materials, and metals on the ground. Kong Deming simply waved his hand and controlled these things to fly back to their original positions. This control over soul power was too precise.
This old man had cultivated the mental techniques of a Soul Master.
The peculiar Soul Master actually accepted the Soul Master's cultivation method.
Ju Zi carefully placed the prototype of the core magic array in her hand, then bowed to Kong Deming with Ye Guyi, "Grandpa Kong, why did you summon Ju Zi here?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming sighed, put down the bucket beside him, and said, "Ju Zi, Grandpa called you here to give you some soul tools for self-defense. Recently, things have become quite unsettled in Mingdu. I consider you my own granddaughter. If you have any problems that you can't solve, be sure to tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi felt a warmth in her heart. She had mistakenly thought that Kong Deming was an old man living alone in the palace, just like herself, so she had been looking after him from time to time, treating him like her grandfather and having someone to rely on.
Kong Deming discovered Ju Zi's talent for soul tools and took a liking to her, and the two became family.
Orange's eyes were slightly red. She grasped Ye Guyi's small hand, which was hidden in her pocket, and smiled, "Grandpa Kong, don't worry. Orange is now the Grand Commander of the Empire. Who dares to mess with me?"
Looking at the spirited Ju Zi, Kong Deming felt as if he had returned to the day he first recognized Ju Zi, when the girl was just as confident and dazzling.
However, Kong Deming also had concerns, because the current Sun and Moon Emperor was too cunning, but his temperament was unpredictable.
"But oranges..."
Orange shook her head slightly. "Grandpa Kong, please don't say so much. I'm already prepared. Someone once said that someone will always pay the price for something important. Why can't that person be me?"
