No one cared whether anyone in the Gu family died.

At this moment, Yue Chi was completely stunned.

He was still reeling from Qu Jian'er's precise rebuke and the shock of the Gu family's all-or-nothing investment.

I never expected it would happen so quickly.

The Zuo family became the biggest beneficiary of the situation.

Someone in the Gu family was "scared to death".

Yuechi was still immersed in the shock he had just experienced.

They completely ignored the chaotic scene.

Qu Jian'er finally had some free time, and she stopped flirting with Zuo Chen in public.

Yes.

In Yue Chi's eyes.

The way Qu Jian'er and Zuo Chen get along is not like a father and daughter at all.

He's practically a carbon copy of his parents' loving relationship.

Yue Chi swallowed hard.

I approached him without much confidence.

Yue Chi whispered, "Teacher Qu."

Qu Jian'er seemed to remember something and said, "Come, let me introduce you to Chen Ba."

Yue Chi: "..." I now have every reason to suspect that the Chenchen you mentioned is Zuo Chen!

Zuo Chen's voice held a hint of indulgence amidst his helplessness: "Could you please stop giving me random nicknames?"

If the Black Pillar were here.

It would definitely say: Be content, it's a good thing you don't know the other names my older brother gave you!

Qu Jian'er immediately covered her ears.

He whistled and ignored them.

Zuo Chen looked as melancholy as a real old father: "I provide you with food and clothing, yet you can't even meet such a small request of mine. You ungrateful little brat."

Yue Chi: "..." Could you be any tougher with your words? Have you forgotten that you're Zuo Chen?!

Qu Jian'er seriously corrected Zuo Chen: "Nonsense, I'm clearly pushing my luck."

Zuo Chen nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay."

Yue Chi: "..." This dog food is too much.

Qu Jian'er recalled Yue Chi: "Huh, you're still here?"

Yue Chi: "..." Sorry to bother you, I'll get lost.

Qu Jian'er smiled, then immediately became serious: "We have contact channels with the Imperial Family. If you want to contact them, that's not impossible."

Zuo Chen sensed the seriousness in Qu Jian'er's words.

His gaze was fixed on Yuechi.

If the other party shows even the slightest sign of wavering.

That means there's no need to cooperate.

However, Yue Chi simply shook his head.

Zuo Chen looked regretful.

Qu Jian'er raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

Yue Chi simply said, "I believe in Teacher Qu."

He didn't even know what he was thinking.

The people in the Mingming Legion are all warriors of the Empire.

They are clearly loyal to the empire.

But that happened right after he arrived on the main planet.

There was not a trace of imperial action to be seen.

The latest news is that the Empire is coveting the Zuo family's mecha enhancement card technology.

These black spots.

This directly caused Yue Chi to feel disgusted.

Empires and enterprises should be positioned as agglomerations: one should solidify its cultural foundation, while the other should shoulder the responsibility of technological advancement.

Unfortunately, the empire's appetite was too great.

Not only did they fail to properly preserve and pass on their cultural heritage.

They even dared to try and get their hands on all sorts of high-tech products.

Wait until you leave the bidding site.

On the hovercar driven by the robot butler.

Qu Jian'er reminded her, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, we are just ordinary people, you still have a chance to get off the bus."

Yue Chi was both amused and exasperated: "..." Tell me, which commoner could have ended up like this?

A few hours later.

The hovercar stopped at a Taoist temple, and Qu Jian'er learned more details from Yue Chi.

The Third Army Corps was originally a privately run organization.

Most of them will not involve capital.

But the Wu family of the Second Legion had too much reach.

They are not satisfied with the status quo.

They wished they could annex the Third Army.

They are willing to provoke a civil war.

If it weren't for the fact that they still couldn't break through the First Legion.

The Wu family might prefer to target the First Legion.

Qu Jian'er stood in front of the newly renovated Taoist temple and solemnly patted Yue Chi on the shoulder.

When the other party is silent.

Qu Jian'er said, "Stay here for now, and help me open the door every day. You have no idea how bad the influence is when I ask others to help me every day. It's made the old folks around here think that Qingxu Temple doesn't have an abbot."

Yue Chi: "..." Then why don't you drive it yourself!

Qu Jian'er sounded melancholy, as if it were really true: "Hey, I'm very busy. Other people in the company can only come by when they have time. This arduous task can only be completed by you. Don't worry about anyone coming to investigate. There are people inside who will ensure they don't come back."

Yue Chi thought Qu Jian'er was going to ask her to provide her identification, but to his surprise, she showed up and never came back.

He looked at Qu Jian'er repeatedly.

Make sure you're not walking into a den of thieves.

Only then did he feel at ease taking the keys.

Fortunately, Qu Jian'er had good taste; the ancient-style Taoist temple did not use an incongruous combination lock.

They did not add anything unnecessary to the Taoist temple.

Yue Chi wanted to wave goodbye to Qu Jian'er.

All I could see was a trail of exhaust fumes and heat.

–_– Yuechi: Sister, please bless me. I hope the person I found is really reliable.

He sighed and walked into the Taoist temple.

It's worth mentioning that after the Taoist temple was renovated, it's practically a miniature version of a retirement resort.

Brand new rattan chairs and a dust-free swing, a chessboard stone table and a wooden dummy—it has everything.

The courtyard is clean.

It looks like someone is cleaning it every day.

Yue Chi assumed that Qu Jian'er's neighbor had helped with the cleaning; he now has an extremely high tolerance for stress.

I don't want Qu Jian'er, an actress, at all.

Why is there a Taoist temple there?

He had been working hard for many days.

Finally, I no longer have to live in fear.

He found an empty room, tidied it up simply, and opened the window to see the ancient well outside.
