"By the way, I haven't asked why you two are back now."
Xiangling looked at Xingqiu and Chongyun curiously: "In the past, it was good for you to come back on time, but this year it's actually ahead of schedule?"
"Oh, there is a reason for this."
Chongyun scratched his head: "The main reason is that there are no evil spirits outside that dare to show up. The evil spirits that could be found some time ago ran away when they saw us."
Gu Sanqiu:?
Wait, it won't be related to what happened in the previous period.
"run?"
Xingqiu nodded: "At first we thought it was Chongyun's pure Yang body that had advanced, but then even if I was alone, those evil spirits who originally liked to cause trouble turned around and ran away."
"Later we went to many places, even near Wuwangpo. Some evil spirits who were originally not very afraid of my pure Yang body were so frightened when they saw ordinary people that they shrank into secret places."
"What about you, why didn't Guo Ba follow you this time?"
"Oh, Guo Ba seems to be a little tired. He fell asleep leaning against the stove. I felt a little distressed and didn't take him with me."
Xingqiu looked at Gu Sanqiu: "So we have nothing to do. We will have a lot of time after traveling around the world. It just so happens that we haven't tried to come back early, so we decided happily."
"What are you looking at me for?"
Xingqiu smiled: "Except for those evil spirits in the Minlin area who were suppressed to death by the cultivation lineage, the only people who can achieve such achievements in the outside world are probably your family and the Rebirth Hall."
"We are all good brothers. Is there any inside information you can share?"
"This really does exist."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "The reason is that a big boss took action some time ago and almost wiped out a large number of evil spirits like a map, almost erasing them from their roots."
"So, those ordinary evil spirits still dare to come out now. This is because their instincts are too much. If you run away when you encounter someone, you are definitely afraid that the big boss will come to your door and expose the whole family."
"I would even say you are a big boss."
Xingqiu touched his chin: "Is he an immortal?"
"Okay, the logic is very smooth."
Gu Sanqiu nodded and admitted: "It was indeed an immortal who took action. You should also know the name of that person, the Great Sage of Conquering Demons and the Protector of Dharma, General Yaksha."
"One of the yakshas among the immortals?"
Everyone was surprised: "So he is still active outside?"
"That's right, the last time I met him, it was because he had something in his hand that could attract evil spirits and pull them all out in one pot."
Gu Sanqiu picked up a chopstick and said: "Those evil spirits can come back to life and get beaten again, but ordinary evil spirits don't have this ability, so do you understand?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the legendary immortal made us learn about it so suddenly."
Unlike Chongyun and Xiangling's sighs, Xingqiu's expression changed slightly, and then he glanced outside the box.
"Just say it like that? What if the walls have ears?"
"Oh, except for a few people, it is completely impossible for others to see that person, so there is no need to worry about this aspect."
The corners of Xingqiu's mouth twitched: "Isn't that just like you?"
"Fortunately for me, some people I don't want to see can still find me, but that big guy won't do that."
Gu Sanqiu was very calm: "I am very calm, and I did not tell you this on a whim."
"Don't worry, even if other people know about it, they won't act rashly because they don't know if what I'm telling you now is a trap."
Xingqiu nodded: "Okay, you can figure this out yourself. I believe you."
"I'm very grateful for your trust."
Gu Sanqiu poured himself a drink with his right hand, and handed a document to Xingqiu with the other hand.
"Let me show you, this is the overtime project I found for you and Chongyun."
"ha?"
Xingqiu rolled his eyes: "Why should I work overtime? Please give me an explanation."
"This is a large agricultural company. If the young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce can help him solve his trouble, it might be helpful to some of your family's business?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "Although it seems that this part of the business is not under your control."
"I see."
Xingqiu took the document carefully and frowned after a while.
"There's something wrong with that so-called alchemist."
"Alchemist? What kind of alchemist? Let me take a look."
Chongyun moved his chair and came closer, frowning as well.
"I said, this must be false. If he can predict the climate conditions next year, it is possible to say that he is an immortal."
"Yes, I think so too."
Gu Sanqiu said: "So, this guy has a big problem, and he probably has some bad intentions. I need your help."
"Is it such a coincidence?"
Xingqiu looked at his friend: "If we don't have this time to come back, how will you solve this problem?"
"Either leave it to my elder sister, or ask Senior Gan Yu to take action. If the situation goes beyond our imagination, then I will ask my elder sister or Ke Qing to get a warrant to intervene forcefully."
Gu Sanqiu took a sip of wine: "Senior Gan Yu is very strong, but if we want to deal with guys who are planning things secretly, I still have the advantage in this aspect."
"That's right, you're a guy with a dark mentality. To deal with that kind of guy, you just need to specialize in the art."
Xingqiu suddenly understood, and then forced himself to ignore the murderous look from Gu Sanqiu.
"That's not right, you guy. You arranged for Xiangling to cook, and you also arranged work for us when we came back. You just want to make us all work overtime, right?"
"What nonsense are you telling the truth?"
Gu Sanqiu's eyes were dark: "There is no way, it is impossible for me to work overtime in the sky. You can laugh and enjoy the holiday down below. This will make my mentality very unbalanced."
"Please continue with this imbalance. I am indeed the kind of person who wants to enjoy my vacation."
"No, we must find out who the alchemist is!"
Chongyun's attitude rarely became tougher: "If it's true, that bastard dared to destroy the reputation of the alchemist, I must go find out!"
Xingqiu looked at his friend, and then sighed. Since he said so, he must accompany him.
"Chongyun, according to the popular saying now, you will definitely be an excellent migrant worker in the future."
Xiang Ling smiled and cheered: "Oh, let's go, let's go. I'm just going to do some work. After that, I can have a good holiday, right?"
In the same way, she also wants to see her friends get busy, otherwise she will feel unbalanced.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, but why don't you arrange a job for Hu Tao!"
"No one has returned home without a job."
Gu Sanqiu leaned back in his chair: "The Hall of Rebirth has a lot to answer for. I guess it will be good for them to be able to go home this year."
"Tsk, it's really troublesome. It seems I have to find a reason to go take a look."
Xingqiu scratched his hair. This kind of investigation was definitely not something that could be solved by just wrapping up in night clothes and then acting like a thief in the night.
If he and Chongyun didn't go there during the early detection, it would be difficult for most people to see what was wrong, so they would have to do it themselves.
Fortunately, there are two "professional counterparts" in their team, Chong Yun and Gu Sanqiu behind the scenes.
