"Phew, these guys are a real pain." I looked at the documents in my hand, my head throbbing with pain.
"What's wrong?" The gentle woman came up behind me and gently rubbed my head to soothe my agitated nerves.
“Jieyue, quite a few people have already come to Asia City, and the number far exceeds any previous year. Even the capital city has sent a lot of people.” I carefully took my wife’s hand from behind and pulled her in front of me, complaining to her about these troublesome matters.
Li Jieyue then used her free hand to pick up the documents and start reading.
"My information is confidential, you know," I joked, seeing my wife's serious expression.
Li Jieyue rolled her eyes at me, but continued looking at the documents without caring at all: "So, when you tricked me into eloping, why didn't you say that the information you got about me from them was also confidential? When you asked me for help in the early stages of your business, what documents didn't I see?"
"Hehe." I chuckled ingratiatingly, because I had fallen in love with Li Jieyue at first sight, and in order to find out her preferences, I had bribed all the girls around her.
"Huh, the Zhao and Huang families have also come?" Li Jieyue frowned as she looked at the information. She thought that if people from the capital were coming, it would take a while longer, but she didn't expect them to arrive so soon.
“Yes.” I said, squeezing Li Jieyue’s soft little hand. “They’re all here for Yueyue. Qin Limin has also received a lot of meeting invitations, all to find out about Yueyue’s situation. Moreover, they have arranged for many people to investigate Yueyue in secret. They probably already guessed the relationship between Yueyue and us.”
"It's quite troublesome. After all, they're from the capital. We can't just refuse them directly. Let's release some more information about Yueyue's relationship with us. After all, Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony is coming up soon, and they'll announce it then. Let them know so they can focus on investigating our background. We must keep the fact that Yueyue is a boy turned girl a secret, otherwise those guys will definitely use it against us later." Li Jieyue frowned. People from other places are easier to deal with, but the people from the capital are the ones we need to be most careful about.
Thinking of those troublesome guys in the capital, Li Jieyue also felt a bit of a headache.
"It's not just those two families, there are also traces of the Imperial Clan." This is the most critical thing for us. As the most powerful family on this planet, if the Imperial Clan is determined to investigate Bai Yueyue, even if the Bai, Qin, and Li families join forces, they may not be able to protect Bai Yueyue.
"Ah," Li Jieyue was also surprised to hear this news, "Even the Imperial Clan has come? Is that guy involved too?"
I shook my head: "Information about the Imperial Clan is not easy to obtain, but I can more or less guess that guy will be involved. After all, Yueyue is too amazing, and this will cause a lot of trouble for Yueyue or for us."
Li Jieyue glared at me with her beautiful eyes, dissatisfied: "Is it my fault? You stole his fiancée from him. Since you stole her, you should protect her well."
"Of course." I said, squeezing Li Jieyue's hand as I recalled what had happened back then—something that Bai Yueyue couldn't possibly know.
After all, he couldn't let Bai Yueyue follow his example. If Yueyue ended up eloping, he would probably end up like his father-in-law—no, he would be even more terrifying than his father-in-law. He would definitely go to that person's house and break both of his legs.
"By the way, how are Yueyue's preparations for her coming-of-age ceremony going?"
“Yueyue’s manners and skills are already sufficient. Now we need to start ordering clothes, at least three sets.” Li Jieyue replied after thinking for a moment. “The only problem is that Yueyue is not used to being served because there are no servants at home.”
"I see." I nodded. Back then, we were penniless, and Li Jieyue was not used to having anyone to serve her. Later, after we became successful, we found it troublesome and did not arrange for servants to be placed in the villa where we usually lived. I just did not expect that now it would be Bai Yueyue's turn to be uncomfortable with having someone to serve her. "Let's arrange the venue for the coming-of-age ceremony in that manor. I have been having it cleaned, and it can be used directly now. Then let's arrange for some male and female servants to move in. So Yueyue should pack her luggage and move in, so that Yueyue can get used to it in advance."
Because we don't know if Yueyue will encounter any accidents in the future, which might lead her to visit or even live in a family like the Li family, this kind of training is extremely necessary.
"Okay, I'll go prepare right away." Li Jieyue said with her standard business smile, "Now that we've finished discussing things, stop playing with my hands, you're too itchy."
"Oh, but this has become a habit of mine." I really like Jieyue's hands, so when we're alone, I always hold her hands and play with them.
Li Jieyue didn't care and pulled her hand away directly: "I'm leaving. Thank you for blocking all those troublesome things at Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony."
Of course, after all, it's for my dearest daughter and my most beautiful wife.
...
I really don't know what Yi was thinking. I could have easily defeated the silver-haired witch, but instead I let Er cause me trouble.
Back at headquarters, I was still very upset. I had spent a year preparing to awaken Bai Yueyue's source, but in the end, all I managed to do was dissipate the mysterious soul within Bai Yueyue. I hadn't managed to take the source at all.
Haven't I wasted this whole year? My abilities are most similar to Bai Yueyue's, so they should be considered magic, right? But I think I've already reached my limit. If I get the Source, I can go even further.
My phone rang. It was a message from Zhang Yuyao. She actually asked where I was and wanted to talk to me? Didn't she see what I did? I am the "Seventh" of the Ten Directions Tribunal.
When I was about to delete this annoying thing, I hesitated and finally chose to ignore the message.
