Chapter 80: Master’s Wife Will Give Us a Brother Next Year

The director was even more confused when he heard his friend's serious statement. "Is it really that terrible?"

Before the president could explain, Assistant Fang spoke up: "He is illiterate!"

Both sides were silent.

The president, in particular, was utterly devastated. Duan Anluo hated evil, and seeing the heinous crime of child trafficking, he would execute the criminals on the spot, leaving no one alive. No, he would probably just let them die and be cremated, scattering their ashes.

He is accompanied by a top fighter who can demolish anything, whether it is a building or a dock.

What's even more terrifying is that there are still two idle members of the God Slayer Squad in the guild. Bai Ziyue and Ling Feng are both in their free time. If they knew that Si Cang was fighting there, they would definitely run to help, and they would be unable to do anything about it.

The president was going crazy just thinking about that scene. Assistant Fang was also overwhelmed. Last time, Ling Feng didn't defend the imperial capital. He heard that Si Cang was in danger, so he ran away! Assistant Fang urgently stopped all of Ling Feng's transportation rights and only then did he keep Ling Feng in the imperial capital.

"In short, you absolutely cannot let him go. Find someone else."

The director felt a little regretful. He had truly appreciated Duan Anluo's abilities. He and the president had been friends for many years, and the president would definitely not lie to him. But no matter how he looked at it, he didn't see Duan Anluo as dangerous. The key point was that he also liked banners, which showed that he had a strong sense of honor. If he gave him a banner, he would ask for his help privately...

As soon as this thought came to mind, Assistant Fang, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, said sternly, "Director Zhang, don't even think about inviting him privately. He just killed over a hundred people and scattered their ashes. If he goes, you won't be able to capture any of them."

Director Zhang: "More than a hundred mouths... forget it, I can't afford it."

After hanging up the phone, the president was still worried: "Has Lao Zhang really given up?"

Assistant Fang was also worried. "If this mission is very dangerous and he's afraid of casualties, he might be tempted to ask for help from Duan Anluo. Duan Anluo's face is too deceptive."

The president quickly sent a message to his old friend: "I will assign you a team with logistics and combat teams."

Assistant Fang reminded the president: "Don't look for a team related to Duan Anluo. If they are in danger, Duan Anluo will definitely go to rescue them."

In his understanding: Si Cang = the god who protects Daxia.

Duan Anluo = A super-blind wizard who protects justice.

I don’t know why Si Cang + Duan Anluo = world-destroying martial artist x evil cultivator, instantly became extremely dangerous.

Thus, Duan Anluo lost a large banner without knowing it. However, Director Zhang still wrote down Duan Anluo's home address. Since he was a non-staff member of the guild, even if he was one-fourth of his colleagues, he would still need Duan Anluo's help in the future.

In the evening, Qi You tried five times before he finally recruited the scumbag couple. Duan Anluo encouraged him: "It's okay, just practice more if you're not good at it."

Qi You pursed his lips, his face looked very long, and then he sent the couple back.

After sending it away, continue to summon the soul, then send it back and continue to summon it.

Seeing his fighting spirit so strong, Duan Anluo didn't remind him that living souls have bodies to guide them, but they are not as easy to deal with as the souls of the dead. But if the child wants to practice, then let him practice. After all, these two people are not good people.

This scumbag couple had suffered so much. During the police interrogation, they said everything they should and shouldn't have said. They were terrified, not knowing how many years they would have to spend in prison. As soon as they closed their eyes, they became Qi You's practice material.

They died and came back to life, died and came back to life again, over and over again for two hours. They had completely lost the desire to live, and only then did Qi You let them go.

"Master, I'm calling you over."

Duan Anluo called Lao Qin over and said, "Fight them, but don't kill them. I'll gather their souls when we're almost done fighting."

Thinking of the generous reward he would receive later, Lao Qin immediately bowed to Duan Anluo with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Master Duan! I promise to treat them well!"

Although Duan Anluo has a bad temper, he is really generous. The gold ingots he gave me last time were of such quality, wow...

For a ghost like him who has lived for hundreds of years and has no descendants to burn incense and offer sacrifices to, the meager salary he receives from the underworld is simply not enough to cover his expenses. The gold ingots Duan Anluo gave him were enough for him to squander for a while.

Old Qin walked towards the scumbag with a grin, and screams suddenly resounded throughout the room.

Duan Anluo listened to their wailing and snorted coldly: "Let you two scumbags beat up my apprentice!"

Xun Xiao was attracted by the noise and ran over. Seeing the tragic scene of his uncle and aunt being beaten, he was so shocked that his eyes widened and a pair of furry ears on his head popped out uncontrollably.

The man saw Xun Xiao, as if he saw a savior, and crawled over in fear, "Xun Xiao! Please help your uncle and beg for mercy. Stop beating me! I can't bear it! It hurts too much!"

My aunt also crawled and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, don't hit me! Xun Xiao! Aunt was wrong! Aunt will never hit you again!"

Xun Xiao looked at them quietly, biting his lower lip, without saying a word.

Uncle and aunt saw the hatred in Xun Xiao's eyes and knew that he was doomed to be beaten. Since he didn't help to plead for mercy, he wouldn't have an easy time either!

The man pointed at Xun Xiao's ear and said, "See, he's not a human! Why are you raising him? If you raise him up, he might turn beastly one day and bite you to death!"

"You're such an ungrateful bastard! You've eaten so much food from my family, and you don't even have a shred of gratitude. You're such an ungrateful bastard! Whoever raises you will be in trouble!"

Xun Xiao clenched his fists tightly. He was not an ungrateful person, he was not!

Duan Anluo raised his hand to create an aura barrier, isolating the sound. He waved to Xun Xiao, and seeing the mist in Xun Xiao's eyes, he smiled and said, "Come here, come to Master."

Xun Xiao gritted his teeth and walked over obediently under Duan Anluo's gentle gaze.

Duan Anluo picked up a chicken leg from the table. Jiang Yuan had just fried it. He also fried some chicken fillets and popcorn chicken. Jiang Yuan gave it to Xun Xiao, but Xun Xiao refused to eat it.

Duan Anluo carefully peeled off the greasy crispy skin and handed him the tender meat inside: "Children have weak stomachs, and you were hungry for so long before. You can't eat anything too greasy."

Xun Xiao took it subconsciously, looked at the chicken leg in his hand, then looked at Duan Anluo who was tearing the meat for him, pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment, and finally uttered, "Thank you, Master."

"Go eat over there." Duan Anluo gently pushed him, signaling him to leave.

It was enough for the children to know about this kind of situation; there was no need to watch. His apprentice could ignore it, but as their master, he couldn't just let it go. If he didn't give them a beating, his Daoist heart would be unstable.

It wasn't until the souls of the two scumbags were beaten to the point of being on the verge of death and almost disintegrated that Duan Anluo signaled Lao Qin to stop. He then waved his hand and sent the souls back to their bodies: "Bring them back tomorrow night and continue the fight."

After finishing the job, Duan Anluo handed the generous reward he had prepared in advance to Lao Qin.

Seeing so many people, Old Qin was so excited that he bowed repeatedly and nodded. "Thank you, Master Duan! Call me again tomorrow night. No matter what dirty or tiring work it is, as long as Master Duan says a word, I will run my legs off and guarantee that I will do it for you perfectly!"

Duan Anluo waved his hand. "Indeed, I have one more thing to trouble you with. My little apprentice's mother was called Xin Yuting. She passed away over a year ago. Can you help me check if her soul is still there? If she hasn't been reincarnated, I want them to meet and fulfill one of their wishes."

"Don't worry, Master Duan!" Old Qin assured, patting his chest. "Leave it to me. As long as we have the name and approximate date of death, it will be easy to find. Just wait for my good news!"

Xun Xiao finished gnawing on the chicken leg, looked at Duan Anluo cautiously, and asked softly, "Master... can I, can I really see my mother again?"

Duan Anluo's gaze fell on the slightly trembling ears on his head, and he gently touched the soft tips of his ears with a smile. Xun Xiao flinched sensitively. The touch was furry, like a puppy that had not been weaned, soft and without any bones to touch.

"Don't worry," Duan Anluo said gently, "As long as you haven't reincarnated, you can see it. Look, your ears are so cute. Everyone likes you. Don't feel inferior. Show them generously. They want them but they don't have them yet."

Xun Xiao immediately covered his head with his hands. At this time, Qi You came over and touched the furry head of his junior brother.

Mu Qingzhuo also touched it. He was no longer afraid and found it quite interesting.

Duan Anluo was just about to find a room for Xun Xiao, but when he saw that Mu Qingzhuo had not left yet, he immediately fixed his eyes on Mu Qingzhuo.

Mu Qingzhuo immediately understood his thoughts, "Don't even think about it, I won't leave."

He had come several times before, but Duan Anluo wasn't home. When he finally caught up with him at home, he actually wanted to chase him away. Not to mention the door, there was no window.

Duan Anluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was really becoming more and more rebellious as he grew older. "What are you doing here? Your house is so big, how comfortable would it be to live there? Why are you occupying this room? You don't usually live there."

Mu Qingzhuo chuckled, sat down on the sofa, picked up the fruit on the table and took a graceful bite, then said slowly, "It's okay if I don't occupy it. Just buy me a house."

Duan Anluo coaxed him good-naturedly, "See those houses outside? I've already bought them, and this street will all belong to us from now on. I'll renovate them, and you can pick out a master bedroom first, and you can give this room to your brother."

Mu Qingzhuo didn't even raise his eyelids. "Let's talk about it after you finish decorating."

Duan Anluo suddenly felt upset. It turned out that the child was the sweet one raised from childhood. As he grew up, he became more cunning and difficult to fool.

He sighed helplessly, reached out and pulled Xun Xiao over, holding him on his lap: "Forget it, I'll sleep with Master and his wife tonight."

Xun Xiao froze, his face flushed red, and he struggled to jump out of Duan Anluo's arms. Before he could get far, Duan Anluo grabbed his collar and pulled him back, "Why are you running? When you grow up, even if you want me to hold you, I won't be bothered to do it. Do you drink milk? Are you allergic to anything?"

Xun Xiao blushed and shook his head. He didn't want anything. He just wanted to have enough to eat, not be beaten, and not be sold.

Duan Anluo thought of the cage and chains that Si Cang mentioned, and hugged his little apprentice tightly with heartache. According to his original fate, Xun Xiao should have been sold. He has not grown up yet and is thin. He was sent to be trained as a killer, but later escaped and was hunted down. It was the child of destiny in the book who helped him solve the problem.

With his intervention, the child's fate was completely changed. "The clothes I bought for you will be delivered soon. Take a good bath tonight, change into new clothes, and say goodbye to the past."

Xun Xiao quietly pinched the corner of Duan Anluo's clothes, reluctant to let go. If this was a dream, he wanted to keep dreaming and not wake up.

After taking a shower in the evening and changing into new clothes, Xun Xiao lay down at Duan Anluo's door and looked inside carefully. He happened to see Si Cang sitting at the table maintaining a knife.

He was born with a strong sense of perception, and he felt a deep-seated fear of this man who was taciturn, had no expression, and looked scary.

At the same time, children all admire the strong, and the aura of Si Cang makes him both timid and yearning.

According to Master, his father is very powerful. Is his father as powerful as Master's wife?

With Si Cang's perception, he knew that the child was looking at him. He turned around and saw Xun Xiao nervously shrinking behind the wall, with the little ears on his head not hidden and exposed.

Si Cang's mouth twitched, and he turned his head back to continue wiping the knife. Xun Xiao cautiously poked his head out again and looked at Si Cang.

At this moment, Si Cang turned around suddenly and met Xun Xiao's eyes. Xun Xiao was so scared that he slipped and fell on his butt.

Si Cang raised the corner of his mouth and hooked his finger at Xun Xiao.

Xun Xiao didn't dare to hide anymore. He walked over slowly and looked up at Si Cang, "Master's Wife, are you my Master's husband?"

Si Cang paused, and before he could respond, Duan Anluo came in, poked Xun Xiao on the forehead, and seriously corrected him: "Nonsense, she is Master's wife. Master is saving money to marry her off with the three letters and six ceremonies, and a sedan chair carried by eight people."

Xun Xiao said seriously: "But, Master is more beautiful."

Duan Anluo covered his chest with his hands. It was over. His little disciple was a little leaky leather jacket.

Si Cang reached out his hand for the first time, rubbed Xun Xiao's head, and praised him: "You have good talent."

Xun Xiao's eyes showed an inexplicable look. The recognition from such a powerful person made the blood in his body accelerate, and he was so excited that his tail seemed to grow out.

Duan Anluo was jealous. There was something wrong with this kid. Why did he look at Si Cang with more admiration than he did at him?

Qi You was eating a popsicle when he passed by the door. He happened to hear Si Cang praising Xun Xiao. Qi You stood at the door and did not move. While eating, he looked at Si Cang without saying a word, with a resentful look in his eyes.

Si Cang was confused, "What's wrong?"

Qi You sighed, walked in, and took his junior brother away. "Don't disturb Master and Master's Wife from bonding. Master's Wife can give us a younger brother next year."

Si Cang: “…”

"Puff!" Duan Anluo couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Did you offend him?"

Si Cang shook his head, "No."

Duan Anluo thought for a moment, "Is he jealous? You haven't praised him yet."

Si Cang was speechless. Are his words so important?

"Find an opportunity tomorrow to praise him." Duan Anluo said, and then he noticed Si Cang lowering his head, with a serious expression, wondering what he was thinking. He leaned over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Si Cang frowned and said seriously, "I'm wondering, if I can't give birth next year, will you blame me or me?"

Duan Anluo was stunned for a few seconds, then rolled his eyes and fell over, turning his back to Si Cang. Si Cang was getting more and more outrageous. How could he take a child's words seriously?

Si Cang sheathed his sword with a smile, turned off the light, and lay down beside Duan Anluo. He then tentatively placed his hand on Duan Anluo's waist. Finding that Duan Anluo didn't dodge, he immediately pulled him in and held him in his arms.

"You... stop it!" Duan Anluo grabbed Si Cang's wrist and pulled, but couldn't get it loose. His back pressed against his solid chest, and Si Cang's deep laughter echoed from behind his head, "Blame me, I can't have children."

Duan Anluo closed his eyes, his ears turned red, "Shut up and go to sleep."

He appeared calm on the surface, but the slight tremor in his voice still revealed his inner panic.

Si Cang stopped teasing him and said, "Go to sleep."

The next morning, when Duan Anluo got up, Mu Qingzhuo had already left and left a message for Duan Anluo: Something happened at the company, I will come back next week, and you are not allowed to touch my room.

Duan Anluo snorted in disgust and cursed with a smile: "Rebellious son!"

During the meal, Duan Anluo gave his two apprentices an order, "I'm going to get the property ownership certificate with your master's wife in a while. Xiao Shi, you have to listen to your senior brother at home and don't run around. Yuan'er, teach him to read."

School was about to start, and Jiang Yuan and Qi You were both living on campus, so Xun Xiao would be the only one left by their side. Duan Anluo figured there was no need to rush the apprenticeship ceremony. He could let Xun Xiao get used to it. If he was too young, he could wait for the next apprentice to come along. Doing the math, Xun Xiao was probably the youngest of the group.

Duan Anluo told Assistant Fang about the adoption issue yesterday. The guild can handle it in three days. Just thinking about it makes him happy.

As soon as Duan Anluo and Si Cang left, the huge house suddenly seemed empty.

Xun Xiao looked around blankly, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged up. He instinctively looked for a place where he could feel safe. His eyes swept across Duan Anluo's room and finally locked onto the bottom of the large desk.

He curled up inside, curling himself up tightly. The air was filled with Duan Anluo's scent, and the dim light made this familiar environment calm his anxious heart a little.

Qi You held a hat and searched around the house, finally locking onto him with his aura. He bent down and asked, "What are you doing hiding here?"

Xun Xiao raised his head, his big eyes filled with anxiety, which instantly reminded Qi You of last night, when his junior brother was also like this, huddled in the corner and not daring to go to bed.

Thinking of those two evil scumbags, Qi You became furious: if he could call them out again tonight, his master wouldn't need to find someone to whip them, he would whip them himself to vent his anger!

Qi You extended his hand towards Xun Xiao, and said in a gentle tone, "Junior brother, come out. I'll take you to buy some stationery. You have to learn the numbers from 1 to 10 before Master comes back."

As the current eldest brother, it was his responsibility to raise the younger brothers for his master. There might be other younger brothers and sisters in the future... so he could just consider it a practice session.

On the other side, Duan Anluo and Si Cang were walking on the road.

Duan Anluo tilted his head and asked Si Cang, "Did you praise Xiao Qi this morning? I think his tail is almost up to the sky."

A hint of smile flashed across Si Cang's eyes: "I said I would plead for him and let him be the eldest senior brother."

Qi You will be full of energy in the future, and any children who get in the way will be pulled away by him.

"What if I don't agree?"

"I only said I was pleading for him," Si Cang said calmly, "I didn't say you would definitely agree."

Duan Anluo smiled and shook his head. Xiao Qi was still not as cunning as his master's wife.

Duan Anluo was in high spirits just after receiving the property ownership certificate. His phone rang. He looked over and saw that it was the generous boss Xiong, Xiong Shengxi.

After answering the call, the other party's voice was as loud as ever: "Hello? Master Duan, where have you been making money these days?"

Duan Anluo replied with a smile: "Thanks to you, it's nothing special. I just got four apartments."

"Wow! Congratulations to Master Duan!" The envy in Boss Xiong's voice was almost overflowing.

Duan Anluo pointed out directly: "Do you want to ask me for help again?"

"Master Duan is truly a master of foresight!" Xiong Shengxi flattered him without sounding flattering, which made people feel comfortable. "Here's the thing, I have a friend whose family has been in trouble lately, and I'd like you to take a look."

Duan Anluo chuckled: "You have so many friends, and you introduced me to some business."

Xiong Shengxi said with a smile: "They are all bad friends. If they have similar temperaments, they can make money together."

"No problem. As long as it's your boss Xiong who introduced it, I'll go take a look no matter how busy I am." Duan Anluo likes this kind of "big wallet" who has a conscience, loves his wife and daughter, and is generous. "First, send me a photo of your friend and his birth date."

The photo was sent to me quickly. It was taken recently. In the photo, the two of them seemed to be together, with a grand office in the background.

A huge backdrop depicted the Great Wall. Mahogany tables and chairs, a large, transparent fish tank, and a plump golden arowana. Next to it stood a folding screen depicting a tiger descending a mountain.

It can be seen that the owner is trying hard to create a cultured atmosphere and an elegant style, but the nouveau riche temperament of "trying too hard" is still evident in the details.

Duan Anluo looked at the photo and smiled. Actually, there was nothing wrong with being a nouveau riche. Who wouldn't like a windfall? It didn't involve stealing, robbing, or breaking the law. Whether it was through business or winning the lottery, who wouldn't be happy to have money?

He counted on his fingers and replied, "Send me the address and I'll go check it out tomorrow. Tell your friend not to look in the mirror tonight and not to touch any porcelain, especially vases. This screen is nice, take it back and put it by the bedroom door. I'll make sure he's safe tonight."

Xiong Shengxi sensitively understood the meaning behind Duan Anluo's words, "He's fine tonight, but what about tomorrow?"

Duan Anluo smiled and said, "I'll go tomorrow."

Boss Xiong understood that if Master Duan didn't come tomorrow, his buddies would have to prepare for the funeral tomorrow night.

After Xiong Shengxi hung up the phone, he told his friend Duan Anluo what he had said. His friend was a little confused. "Is this master really as powerful as you say? Otherwise, I should ask Taoist Gao again."

The Taoist priest Gao he mentioned was the one who had always looked after him. He knew a little about Feng Shui, but not much. However, he was a very down-to-earth person. If he couldn't solve a problem, he would tell him directly: "I can't do it, you should find someone else."

"If Taoist Gao could solve the problem, he wouldn't have urged you to find someone else," Xiong Shengxi said anxiously, "Don't worry, finding a master will definitely solve the problem. The fee is very fair. You can decide how much to pay and I'll pay you later."

After hearing this, his friend finally felt relieved. "How about I sleep under this screen tonight? That thing is looking for me anyway, and if I go back, I will only bring trouble to him and his mother. If something happens to me, my wife and children..."

"Okay, nothing will happen to you," Xiong Shengxi interrupted his friend and said domineeringly, "I'll sleep here with you tonight. I'm strong and I'll protect you."

In the evening, Duan Anluo was watching Xun Xiao writing when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He counted on his fingers, twitched his lips, and called Xiong Shengxi, "Did your friend not come home?"

Xiong Shengxi was just about to praise Duan Anluo for his foresight when he heard Duan Anluo say anxiously, "Hurry up and send him back. If that thing can't find him tonight, it'll attack his wife and children. Give me his address, I'll be there right away."
