(A slightly silly and lighthearted ghost style, we just want to have a sweet romance)
Why do retired people still have to do missions? Why are there mountain and sea monsters and ghosts in a ...
"I have been entrusted to find the mountain and sea beasts that have fallen into this world."
Yan Chiyu conjured a badge out of thin air, cast a slight spell, and the badge floated to the Vermilion Bird's face. The number 23 was faintly visible on it, representing the twenty-third mountain and sea beast found.
Just like other mythical beasts from the mountains and seas, even the Vermilion Bird, as if possessed, reached out and grasped the badge in its palm. A familiar aura emanated from the badge, carrying a faint but imperceptible aura of power.
Cheng Pingxi also realized, "No wonder, after my cell phone signal was restored, Xuanwu told me that he was busy tracking the mountain and sea beasts outside. He even sent me some pictures of badges. So he was helping you with your work."
Yan Chiyu said, "It's just a matter of gathering the strength of everyone."
Zhuque, upon hearing this, still believed that the young man in front of her had some connection with the God of Books, but what about this little girl?
"Fuzhu is the guardian beast of the Wu family. Perhaps because of this relationship, the mythical beasts of the mountains and seas always have a special affinity for the Wu family. Of course, I am referring to our branch. Including me, I was born into the Wu family, and my sister, she inherited powerful strength... It's just fate."
Cheng Pingxi's explanation seemed reasonable and clear, but there were also some parts that didn't make sense. However, Zhuque didn't pursue the matter further.
She yawned, gripped the badge tightly, buried her chubby face in Cheng Pingxi's arms, rolled her eyes, and seemed to be thinking something: "Okay, okay."
As they were talking, Yan Chiyu's cell phone rang.
The caller was Xiang Dongshu.
Yan Chiyu turned on speakerphone and placed the phone between him and Wu Yue.
The next second, a burst of noise erupted inside the car.
"Ahhh, Yan, you finally answered the phone! Did you go to the mountains? There was no signal, and every time I called, it said 'out of service area'."
Yan Chiyu asked calmly, "What is it?"
"really--"
The person on the other end of the phone had a knowing look on their face. "Looks like you didn't receive an invitation."
"Get to the point."
“This weekend, there’s a Feng Shui exchange event for young people being held at the Su family’s residence. All of us younger generation have received invitations,” Xiang Dongshu said. “Xi Nian and I are the representatives from the Xiang family. I was wondering why you were so calm; it turns out you hadn’t seen the invitation.”
Yan Chiyu had always had a bad impression of the Su family, and upon hearing this, he said in an unfriendly tone, "It has nothing to do with me."
"How could it be unrelated? Yan, I've thought about it carefully. The Su family's target for this exchange event is you. Have you forgotten that you missed the last exchange event, which is held every five years, because of Wu Yue? All the major families are eagerly waiting for your appearance."
Xiang Dongshu sighed, "I just don't understand. Why do these people like to hang their daughters and granddaughters on a tree like yours that's already taken?"
"If you're here to spout this nonsense, I'm hanging up." Yan Chiyu had little patience for this kind of topic.
"Yan, is Wu Yue with you? Why don't you ask her if she's going?" Xiang Dongshu had asked Bao Xinbao before making the call. Of course, he knew everything about his boss and future boss's wife going on trips.
Yan Chiyu looked at Wu Yue.
Without a second thought, the girl replied, "I was originally planning to have Fuzhu take me. If the Su family has invited me, that's perfect."
Zhuque in the front row listened intently; this group of people did indeed seem unusual… Turns out they were some kind of charlatans with real skills.
Could the Fuzhu that this little girl is talking about be that famous beauty known throughout the world?
Xiang Dongshu laughed heartily, "I knew Wu Yue would go. Sister Wu Yue, my Xinian misses you terribly. We'll go to the capital to find you in a couple of days, and we'll go to the Su family together then."
Wu Yue: "Okay, please give my regards to Xinian."
"Yan, looking forward to meeting you, bye~" Xiang Dongshu hung up the phone after saying that. No need to ask, if Wu Yue went, Yan Chiyu would go too. There was no suspense about this.
