[Bai Zhu, I am the older brother]

——Set a note for a friend

【The Little Princess】

Xiao Lingchen pressed send again.

This was the seventh time he had tried, and the friend request still hadn't been accepted. He returned to the homepage, feeling somewhat agitated.

Xiao Shisan walked over silently, bowed his head and said, "Young Master, the matter with that proprietress has been resolved, and the news has been blocked. No one will know that you were here."

Xiao Lingchen said impatiently, "It doesn't matter whether you know or not. Make her pay all the wages she owes Bai Shu, not a penny less!"

Xiao Shisan twitched his eye: "Yes, I'll go right away."

—Leaving aside the young master, even the documents he usually handles are worth millions of dollars per hour. When did he start to care about a few hundred or a thousand dollars?

Wanting to take care of Miss Ji, but afraid she wouldn't accept, they had to go through a long and careful process, using the proprietress's name to deliver the gift...

However, if the boss's wife is involved, then Miss Ji will not know that the young master was behind it, and she will not thank him. What is he after?

Tsk tsk tsk, falling in love really can make people lose their minds, it's terrifying!

"Also, Young Master, I've already given instructions regarding Cheng Yuxuan's matter. What do you think we should do? Or else..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture.

Xiao Lingchen glared at him with disdain: "This is a society governed by law. Only by accumulating good deeds and merits can you live a long life. Fighting and killing, going crazy?"

Xiao Shisan: ? ? ?

no--

When you spent seven hours dealing with the traitor and said you'd stab him three times and feed him to the wolves, why didn't you mention accumulating good deeds, reciting Buddhist scriptures, or cultivating the Tao?

Too lazy to deal with these insignificant people, just getting rid of them directly—isn't that your usual preferred method?!

Seeing Xiao Shisan's confusion, Xiao Lingchen didn't explain, but simply narrowed his eyes:

"Before Bai Shu agrees to come with me, she will have to stay at the Cheng family's house for the time being. Make arrangements for them. They will be worried and anxious all day long, and they won't have any free time. Don't let them go home and disturb Bai Shu."

There are two reasons why I didn't kill him directly.

Firstly, the Cheng family has wronged Atong. While he could certainly take revenge for Atong, for Atong herself, personally killing her enemies was the only way to truly resolve her inner conflict.

He wants to protect her, but that doesn't mean he'll carry her through the rest of his life. A-Tong isn't someone who's willing to be a caged bird.

She is the most resilient young eagle, the most unruly crimson bow. Thorns and blood cannot stop her from spreading her wings and soaring through the sky. Despite countless obstacles, she will eventually shoot down the sun with a single arrow. He protects her and accompanies her so that she can walk on with strength.

Secondly...

Ah Tong's fate.

She was destined not to live past her early twenties, but how could he accept that? He was the crown prince of the demon race, who had once slain the Golden Crow that defied the heavens and disrupted the underworld. He never believed in destiny or merit, yet he dared not slacken his efforts in matters concerning A-Tong—

Before coming to this small world, his uncle Tongtian warned him that even though the Heavenly Dao had perished, the cause and effect in the human world still existed.

He thought, since both Buddhism and Taoism have the concept of merit, if he accumulates good deeds and corrects wrongdoings, could he... extend Ah Tong's life?

In this vast and complex world, so many people live to be a hundred years old. Why is it that his A-Tong can only live for a little over twenty years?!

He is not convinced!

As long as A-Tong can live peacefully.

No matter the cost.

He was willing to do anything about it.
