Chapter 27

Xiao Shenmu reached out and patted Xiao Bao's head: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Bao. I will stay with you until Master comes back."

Xiao Bao nudged Xiao Shenmu's hand with his head, and smiled at Xiao Shenmu with his big, round eyes. After all, souls are different, and their sense of touch is more sensitive. Being touched on the head would make him feel a little itchy.

"Senior Sister, your brother-in-law isn't at the temple, and your cultivation hasn't been suppressed anymore. Does that mean it won't be suppressed again in the future?" Jiang Yuzhi suddenly asked Ye Zi.

Upon hearing about her brother-in-law, Xiao Shenmu also spoke up: "Although, I still hope that my brother-in-law can come back. Senior Sister, when will my brother-in-law come back?"

Ye Zi was silent for a while: "The Daoist Couple Contract has been completed, and Senior Sister's cultivation will no longer be suppressed. All of this... is thanks to your Senior Brother-in-law."

Jiang Yuzhi: "My brother-in-law is really amazing."

Not hearing a reply that his brother-in-law was back, Xiao Shenmu pressed on, asking, "So... when is your brother-in-law coming back?"

Ye Zi gently rubbed Xiao Shenmu's face and said, "Your senior brother-in-law will come back. He'll return once he's finished with his business down the mountain."

When Ye Zi closes her eyes, she thinks of Luo Hengzhi's breakdown that day. Those bright eyes lost all their luster, becoming as deep as an abyss. The hatred and vengeance that were usually hidden in her eyes surged violently, tearing away Luo Hengzhi's disguise and revealing a cold, ruthless, and dangerous force.

Will you come back? A pang of sadness gripped Ye Zi's heart. Luo Hengzhi, will you ever return?

"Brother-in-law will definitely come back." Xiao Shenmu's eyes lit up and he said, "Senior Sister, since the Daoist Couple Contract is so powerful, can Xiao Bao find a Daoist Couple with such prosperous fortune as Brother-in-law in the future? That way, Xiao Bao's fortune will be better."

Jiang Yuzhi raised her hand and tapped Xiao Shenmu's little head: "Silly boy! Xiao Bao has just been born, how can he find a Daoist partner? Even if he does, he should wait until Xiao Bao grows up and becomes an adult."

"I know, Junior Brother. I was just making a suggestion. I know Xiao Bao can only find a Daoist partner after he comes of age." Xiao Shenmu hugged his head and rubbed the spot where his Junior Brother had hit him. "Has Junior Brother's cultivation improved as well? Your hits are getting harder and harder!"

Xiao Bao: "Didn't Senior Sister have bad luck before?"

Ye Zi saw the worry in Xiao Bao's eyes: "Yes, it wasn't good before, but it's gotten better now, so you will get better too."

Tianlongyuan

"Boss, you've seen the video? Don't you have any thoughts?" Luo Yi stared at Luo Hengzhi, trying to see something different. How could his boss not have any reaction after seeing the video of his sister-in-law with someone else?

Since leaving Lingju Temple, his boss has never smiled, and has reverted to his old self as a taciturn, expressionless, and cold-faced big boss.

It's better to stay at Lingju Temple. There, he's happy, laughs, and feels relaxed and at ease, and people become more approachable.

Although his boss also pretended to be poor at Lingju Temple, he only pretended to be poor, unlike at the Luo family's old house where he had to act with that group of idiots, which was depressing and boring.

Luo Hengzhi had to admit that during her time at Lingju Temple, she felt more relaxed than ever before. The air was fresh, she felt alive, her laughter was genuine, and she felt warm all over!

But once you're gone, you're gone!

Luo Hengzhi's gaze swept over Luo Yi, her voice low and cold: "You are not allowed to mention the name Ye Zi again, otherwise, when you return to Lingju Temple, you will never have to come back."

Luo Yi knew that Luo Hengzhi was completely enraged, so he dared not say anything more: "Yes, boss."

Luo lowered his head, feeling a little smug. He knew that his boss couldn't be indifferent after watching the video. He was still angry, and he was even clenching his teeth as he spoke!

Ke Luo still didn't understand why the two of them, who were perfectly fine, would separate without any warning. Even if they went down the mountain to seek revenge, wouldn't it have been better to go back up the mountain for a final look?

Luo Hengzhi: "Luo Yan should return to China."

Luo Yi immediately got into work mode: "Yes, Luo Yan helped the Luo family get a 5% higher profit on that overseas order. Now that Luo Yan has caught the eye of Luo Kun, Luo Yan will represent the Luo family to sign a contract with Ying Hong this afternoon. The original 25% equity of Madam will soon be back in the hands of the boss."

Luo Hengzhi nodded and calmly arranged everything: "We can begin with Luo Ming's side."

"Yes, boss. As for the Li family, after Li Nao died, Li Jianhai joined forces with those collateral relatives to kick Li Yan and Li Man out. As for their father and their stepmother, they disappeared together. Li Jianhai has also moved into the Li family's old house and become the current head of the Li family. The boss now owns 50% of the Li family's shares."

Luo Hengzhi nodded: "Go ahead, Luo Quin should pay off his debt!"

"Don't worry, boss. We'll make sure he gets a taste of what he's going to get, and we'll make sure we return everything he arranged to him." A murderous glint flashed in Luo's eyes.

"Master, you're all awake so early?" Long Bao yawned and slowly flew over to Luo Hengzhi and Luo Yi's side.

When Luo Yi saw Long Bao, her eyes softened, and she pointed to the sun outside the window and said with a smile, "Long Bao, you got up too late, the sun is already high in the sky."

"It's so late! The bed Master prepared for me is so comfortable. If my tummy wasn't growling, I could still be sleeping." Longbao hugged his round little belly.

"Let's go." Luo Hengzhi pulled Long Bao into her arms. "Let's go eat."

Looking at Luo Hengzhi's back, Luo Yi sighed that Long Bao's status in the boss's heart was different from before, as the boss was now taking the initiative to hug him.

“Master, the cultivation methods that Immortal Ye Zi chose for you are very suitable for you. You should start by practicing these two. These two methods focus on body tempering in the early stages. Master’s speed of absorbing spiritual energy far exceeds that of others. If Master’s body is not strong, it may affect Master’s future cultivation.” Long Bao explained to Luo Hengzhi while eating.

"My storage bag... how did it end up with you, Long Bao?" Luo Yi touched himself, not knowing when Long Bao had taken his storage bag.

Long Bao was a little embarrassed: "Brother Luo Yi, I woke up last night looking for something to eat. I thought you must have brought back some delicious food, so I'm returning the storage bag to you."

"Brother Luo Yi, I'll take you to my territory another day. You can pick whatever good stuff you want there," Long Bao patted his little chest and promised.

Luo Yi took the storage bag and asked with interest, "Your territory? Is it the place that can cure that old man's leg?"

Long Bao: "Yes, I didn't originally intend to use holy water to heal my master's leg. It's all thanks to Immortal Ye Zi." He pressed her for an answer.

Luo Yi: "He is my master..."

Luo Yi remembered that Luo Hengzhi forbade him to mention Ye Zi again, so he quickly shut up.

Long Bao was eating with his head down, not noticing Luo Yi's unusual behavior. He said to himself, "Ye Zi is very concerned about Master. When Master was awakened from his inner demon, Ye Zi was also very upset and conflicted. She wanted to care but did not go up to disturb him. Master is so lucky to have such a good wife who thinks of Master in everything."

Luo Yi secretly praised Long Bao for speaking well, and listened with his head down, not daring to say a word, while occasionally glancing at Luo Hengzhi.

Luo Hengzhi: "Your dragon clan thinks you're so noble. Ye Zi is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It's one thing for ordinary people to call her an immortal, but why do you call her a great immortal?"

Long Bao looked up, his tiny, sesame-seed-like eyes gazing tenderly at Luo Hengzhi. His master had finally acknowledged that he was a dragon. How touching!

Long Bao: "Although Immortal Ye Zi has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she is different from ordinary cultivators. She is actually an immortal incarnate and will return to her immortal position sooner or later. It is only right to call her an immortal."

Upon hearing "returning to the immortal realm," Luo Hengzhi's pupils dilated slightly: "Is your so-called 'returning to the immortal realm' related to ascending to the divine realm?"

"The God Realm? Master actually knows about the God Realm?" Long Bao tried to feign surprise on his large face. "Returning to the Immortal Rank means returning to the Immortal Realm, which has nothing to do with the God Realm. The God Realm is superior to the Immortal Realm. To ascend from the Immortal Realm to the God Realm, one must undergo another tribulation. However, those immortals who can ascend to the God Realm have all made world-shaking contributions, and very few can actually go to the God Realm!"

Long Bao only had a superficial understanding of the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm, and he wasn't very clear about them. After all, he fell into a deep sleep in the space-time rift right after he was born. Since his father chose to go to the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm must be better than the Immortal Realm.

As expected! Luo Hengzhi's eyes darkened, and she reaffirmed her conviction, telling herself that the cultivator in her dream was indeed Ye Zi!

He has already left Lingju Temple. From now on, he just needs to stay away from Ye Zi. From now on, everything about Ye Zi will be irrelevant to him. Luo Hengzhi only hopes that the two of them can end things here!

Luo Yi sat to the side, curious. When did his boss learn about this divine realm? He had never heard anyone mention it at Lingju Temple.

But Luo Yitai understood the changes in Luo Hengzhi's eyes and could tell that his boss had something on his mind, and that this matter was closely related to his master Ye Zi.

Does the eldest brother have some misunderstanding with his master? The two of them suddenly have a grudge. There must be some misunderstanding. What exactly is the misunderstanding?

Before the training ground, the two were fine. Even an outsider like him could see that his master treated his boss exceptionally well. What misunderstanding could have caused his boss to turn his back on him and refuse to return to Lingju Temple?

Luo Family Old House

"Father, this is the contract, and Professor Bolin asked me to convey his regards to you!" Luo Yan, who was always cautious in front of his father, raised his chin slightly at this moment, looking very proud and confident, and triumphant.

"Not bad!" Luo Kun looked at the contract in his hand, a satisfied smile appearing on his serious face.

Back when his good older brother was still alive, Bolin wouldn't even give him a second glance. But today, his son has made him proud, not only ripping off Bolin for nothing, but also making him willingly and gratefully do so. He truly deserves to be called Bolin's son!

"Brother, you've only closed one deal. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths and call everyone here? Maybe you just got lucky and happened to run into Bolin trying to open up our market," Luo Ming said sourly.

Luo Ming knew Luo Yan's capabilities perfectly well. How could he possibly secure a large international order and get the other party to make concessions repeatedly? This was either a pipe dream or a trap. Luo Ming especially couldn't stand Luo Yan's arrogant demeanor.

Luo Kun glared at Luo Ming: "If you can do it, you can be as lucky as your older brother and close a deal for me to see."

Luo Ming met Luo Qun's gaze and immediately cowered, lowering his head and remaining silent.

"Learn from your older brother properly from now on!" Luo Kun gripped the contract tightly, then looked at Luo Yan, increasingly satisfied with what he saw. He had never realized before that this child resembled him so much.

And what about his elder brother's child? Even if he was once hailed as a business prodigy, what good is that? He was sold to a Taoist nun in the mountains for 2 million. Now he can only hide behind a charlatan and pretend to be something he's not. If his elder brother saw his once-proud son become like this, wouldn't he be furious to death?

Luo Kun regretted not leaving his good older brother a way out. Why did he kill him? He should have left his brother paralyzed in bed, unable to die even if he wanted to, and could only watch helplessly as his beloved son, whom he was so proud of, gradually descended into depravity!
