Chapter 59 The Bridal Sedan Is Getting Closer
Duan Anluo wanted to ask, Si Cang, are you fond of me?
I'm afraid it's not.
He deals with non-humans all day long. He doesn't care whether they are male or female, demon or ghost, as long as he gets along well with them.
So far, Si Cang is the person he gets along with the most.
They knew each other's thoughts with just a glance. They didn't need to discuss before cooperating, their tacit understanding was as if they had worked together countless times.
Si Cang is good-looking, capable, calm and reliable. He never interferes with his freedom and respects his preferences even if he doesn't understand them. In a word, he will come to his side in the middle of the night and play with him.
In Duan Anluo's eyes, Si Cang was full of advantages. Whenever he had problems, the first person he thought of was Si Cang.
The more this happened, the more Duan Anluo felt embarrassed to ask. If he asked the wrong question, it would be so embarrassing that it would be difficult to remain friends.
He hadn't felt anything special about Si Cang before; he was always cold and quiet. If there was anything different about him, it was that he spoke more words, had more expressive expressions, smiled more often, and even liked to snatch his bed. Maybe it was because they were familiar with each other?
Si Cang saw his expression changing from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. "What are you thinking about? Tell me."
"Nothing." Duan Anluo didn't ask any more questions. Let's just leave it at that for now. He'll see if Si Cang has this intention and then decide whether to take action or not.
Si Cang lowered his head, his breath hitting Duan Anluo's face, "Isn't it obvious what I'm doing?"
Duan Anluo's heartbeat, which had just stabilized, began to become abnormal again. He pushed the person in front of him to stay away, otherwise it would affect his thinking.
As a result, Si Cang grabbed both of her hands and held them in his palms. Si Cang's palms were damp and hot.
Duan Anluo pulled his hands back, but Si Cang held on tightly. The seriousness in his eyes made Duan Anlu's heart move.
Duan Anluo was not stupid. Si Cang's behavior was so obvious, there was no way he didn't understand. Duan Anluo felt relieved and completely relaxed. He deliberately asked, "What do you mean?"
Si Cang said bluntly: "Your brother is right to worry. I want to take you away."
Duan Anluo narrowed his eyes, "Rob? Are you an evil dragon?"
Si Cang folded Duan Anluo's hands, holding them in one hand. With his free hand, he gently touched the strands of hair on Duan Anluo's forehead, his eyes filled with aggression. "You can understand it this way. I want to take you back to my nest and hide you away."
Duan Anluo's face flushed. "Could you not be so direct? Be more subtle!"
It is understandable that an ancient person with no emotions could not accept such a blunt statement. It hit him right in the heart, making his heart pound.
Si Cang said with a smile: "I have been very subtle. If I am more subtle, I am afraid you won't understand."
Duan Anluo snorted unhappily, "I'm not a fool."
"You are indeed incredibly talented in metaphysics, but when it comes to relationships, you're a bit dull."
Duan Anluo didn't know what to say. He had heard this sentence many times. Many people said this to him, but he endured it. But Si Cang, a warrior, actually said this to him too. It was so infuriating!
"When did you start to treat me, that... um?"
"have no idea."
"What did you say when we first met?" Duan Anluo imitated Si Cang's tone, fierce and cold, with a look of disgust on his face: "I'm not interested in you!"
The next second, Si Cang pinched her mouth and said, "Don't mention it anymore."
The hand that usually held the knife was actually trembling slightly, and the dampness of his palm proved that he was far from being as calm as he appeared.
Duan Anluo smiled, feeling like he had won back a point. He turned his head away from Si Cang's hand and said seriously, "I'm only a little bit attracted to you, and it still needs to develop."
Si Cang pressed on: "How much is a little bit?"
Duan Anluo used two fingers to indicate a very short distance.
There was a hint of hurt in Si Cang's eyes. "It's only so little?"
Duan Anluo gestured a little bigger, "Just a little more, no more."
Si Cang reached out and picked up the caliper on the table.
Duan Anluo retracted his hand, "What are you doing?"
Si Cang smiled and said, "I'll measure it and see how much it can increase next month."
Duan Anluo was amused and hid his hands behind his back, "Stop it!"
Si Cang reached out and almost grabbed Duan Anluo's waist. The two were pulling against the table when Si Cang suddenly stopped. The gentleness on his face was instantly replaced by disgust. "You two, do you want to die?"
Duan Anluo tilted his head and looked at the door from over Si Cang's shoulder, and saw the young assistant and Bai Ziyue lying at the door and peeking.
The assistant covered his eyes with his hands and said, "I didn't see anything. I just came back."
Bai Ziyue was still fearless and walked in carelessly, "We really didn't see anything, how about you two continue?"
Duan Anluo immediately understood Si Cang. There was a reason why Bai Ziyue always got beaten.
He picked up the lunch box and wanted to wash it, but Si Cang took it and handed it to the assistant, "Wash it clean, disinfect it, and send it back to my lounge."
Assistant Fang took it with resentment. He didn't get to eat any melon and still had to work.
Bai Ziyue has already pestered Duan Anluo: "Brother, are you really not going to help me?"
Bai Ziyue is the youngest and the weakest one in the team. He has a young face and white hair tied in a small braid. When he shakes his head, he looks even younger.
Duan Anluo looked at him as if he were an enemy. "How do you want me to help you? Fight?"
Duan Anluo thought of the dazzling fight between the two energetic young men in the hall, which even cartoons wouldn't dare to film. "Look at my physique, who can I beat?"
"Can you provide me with some resources? I'm used to the tactics of these people on our team."
Duan Anluo pulled out talismans from his pocket. "The Flame Emperor Talisman, driven by spiritual energy, can ignite an explosion within a ten-meter radius. The Taishan Talisman, can increase gravity within a certain range. The Phantom Talisman, can be attached to yourself to hide your aura. The Golden Armor Talisman, indestructible, can only be used once. And this, a small trapping array, can trap a person inside and absorb their spiritual energy. The harder they struggle, the more it absorbs, and the tighter they are trapped. I'll also give you a few straw men. When you're in danger, drip your blood on them, and they'll die for you once."
Bai Ziyue was so excited that he wanted to hug Duan Anluo. After seeing Si Cang's eyes, he raised his arms and didn't dare to let them fall on Duan Anluo. He said excitedly: "You really are my brother! If you quarrel with the boss in the future, I will definitely stand on your side!"
Duan Anluo handed over two first, "Go buy me two cups of milk tea, and these two are yours."
"Brother, what kind of milk tea would you like?"
Duan Anluo's lips curled up: "Two cups of mango sago, large cups!"
Assistant Fang walked to the door and said, "Ditto!"
"Okay, brother!" Before Bai Ziyue finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
Duan Anluo said with emotion: "It runs so fast, like a frightened hare."
Si Cang's expression of disgust became more obvious. How could he keep so many annoying things?
The ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted, and the two did not continue the previous topic. Duan Anluo picked up the caliper and looked at the wall behind him. "Drawing is not as fast as writing. If I write him something like "Ambition", "Flourishing", "Supreme Goodness is Like Water", etc., will he be angry?"
"Won't."
"Isn't it bad?"
"fine."
Duan Anluo was tempted, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. He couldn't lie to the old man. He could just draw for fun and take his time. After all, the president didn't demand a deadline, and he could even drink tea here.
After a while, Bai Ziyue came back with four cups of milk tea, which were iced and tasted great.
Duan Anluo handed Si Cang a cup. Si Cang shook his head and wanted to say that he didn't like drinking such sweet things. After seeing Duan Anluo's smiling eyes, he raised his chin and said, "Just try it."
Duan Anluo handed over his cup and looked at Si Cang's expressionless face after he finished drinking it. Duan Anluo asked, "Still don't like it?"
Si Cang pursed his lips and said, "No."
"That's fine." Everyone has different preferences, so there's no need to force others to like what you like. Duan Anluo handed the unopened glass to the assistant, "Assistant Fang, have two drinks."
The assistant already had a large cup in his hand. Two cups of this size would definitely give him diarrhea. "Are you trying to silence me? To be honest, I really didn't see anything. My crime doesn't deserve death."
Duan Anluo forced it on him and said, "Drink it, drink it. We share the good times and the bad times together."
Drinking this stuff will make you fat. He can't get fat alone, he has to get fat together with his dining partner. It would be best if his dining partner is fatter than him.
Bai Ziyue reminded Duan Anluo from the side: "Brother, talisman paper."
Duan Anluo gave him two and asked, "What if you get into trouble someday?"
Bai Ziyue raised his hand and swore, "I will never reveal my brother's name!"
"What if my brother needs your help someday?"
"I'm willing to go through fire and water for my brother, no matter what!"
Duan Anluo gave him two more and suppressed his laughter: "Remember what you said today."
"Call me if you need anything. As long as I don't have any missions, I'll be there whenever you call me."
"Go buy me a set of the four treasures of the study. Buy me a brush of various sizes, and plenty of ink. I need it."
"Don't worry, brother. I'll buy it for you right away."
Duan Anluo gave the remaining items to Bai Ziyue, "Between teammates, stop when you're done and don't kill anyone."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Bai Ziyue went to buy a pen happily.
Duan Anluo added another sentence after Bai Ziyue’s friend’s note: Thugs can be bribed with talismans.
Looking at the cup of milk tea in his hand, Duan Anluo recalled the scene of Si Cang drinking it. This... Duan Anluo looked away and continued drinking. As long as he didn't feel it was ambiguous, there was nothing to be ambiguous about.
Si Cang watched his movements, a smile flashing in his eyes.
At this time, the security guard called and said that someone had sent two packages to Duan Anluo and asked him to go and pick them up.
Duan Anluo asked doubtfully, "Who would send me something? Could it be a bomb?"
Si Cang accompanied him to get it, "Watch less drama, it might be your brother."
When he got to the door, he saw that it was Lin Wanqiu's family driver who had delivered the package. Two large boxes were filled with clothes, shoes, and snacks. Duan Anluo's parenting style had inherited his mother's. He'd buy anything he liked, then place it in front of the child and let him handle it.
Si Cang drove over and loaded his things directly into the car. Duan Anluo scratched his head. It seemed that he really needed to stay for a few more days. Given his eldest brother's style, he might come back to attack. His mother was more likely to block him at the door. How terrible!
Si Cang looked at the time. It was two o'clock, so he left work and went home.
Duan Anluo was still worried: "Will big brother follow the location to find me?"
"That community is allocated by the guild, and ordinary people can't enter."
"What if he sees I'm not at the guild? I suspect he's already arranged for someone to stake out nearby and watch me coming and going every morning."
It's so scary. Brother's face can't be sweet even if you add sugar to milk tea.
He needs to find a sister-in-law as soon as possible to distract his elder brother!
It was just right that his mother sent so much food, so he could offer more tribute to Uncle Yue Lao. He should be able to hear his prayers.
If Yue Lao couldn't hear him, he would set up an evil formation and kill an evil ghost as a sacrifice to attract love for his eldest brother.
He must recruit someone who looks like his eldest sister-in-law. She is the daughter of a general, capable of managing the household and fighting in battle. Most importantly, she loves him. He cannot accept another type of sister-in-law.
Si Cang discovered that Duan Anluo was using spiritual energy to arrange the star chart in the car, and kept chanting Duan Anlang's name. Those who didn't know would think that the two brothers had such a great hatred that Duan Anluo didn't hesitate to curse his elder brother.
Si Cang's residence is just behind the headquarters, a five-minute drive away. If you are not in a hurry, you can walk there.
It's a villa complex near a park with excellent greenery. You can see a lot of flowers I can't name along the way, and a field of sunflowers that are about to mature. The distance between each building is very far, so it's absolutely quiet.
Si Cang's residence has the best location and the largest yard. From his home, he can see the artificial river flowing nearby. Standing on the fourth floor, looking down, he can see the shimmering river, the flowers and plants along the riverside, and the sound of birdsong.
With the push of a button, the glass roof opens automatically, and the wind from the riverside blows over, bringing with it a strong breath of life.
Duan Anluo stretched lazily. No wonder rich people like to buy big houses. They are really nice.
It can be seen that this is the place where Si Cang lives most, and the traces of life are very obvious. Correspondingly, Si Cang has the most aura, with a strong murderous aura, and a hard and sharp magnetic field. Not to mention cats and dogs, even birds are unwilling to build nests in the tree in front of the building.
Duan Anluo released his spiritual energy to neutralize the aura in the house first.
Si Cang had already moved the things from the car in. Duan Anluo heard the commotion and came downstairs. He instructed Si Cang to move the things into the bedroom with a view of the river. "I'll live in this room."
Si Cang raised his eyebrows and without a word of rebuttal, he moved Duan Anluo's things into the bedroom. He then handed Duan Anluo a set of keys and said, "There's an armory on the west side of the third floor. Go pick one for Qi You as a gift for becoming his disciple."
Duan Anluo went there happily, and as soon as he left, Si Cang moved his things into the bedroom.
Duan Anluo had just reached the third floor when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, his heart skipping a beat. He answered the call and asked, "Boss Xiong, what's up?"
Xiong Shengxi's polite voice came from the other end of the phone: "Master Duan, sorry to bother you, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Duan Anluo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his elder brother had already found out that he helped Boss Xiong adjust the feng shui.
"you say."
"It's like this, my friend's wife's sister seems to have been possessed by an evil spirit."
Duan Anluo calculated the relationship and it didn't seem that far.
Xiong Shengxi explained, "For a month straight, the girl had dreams every night of a bridal sedan coming to pick her up. At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a common nightmare. But recently, the sedan has been getting closer and closer in her dreams, and the girl has become thinner and thinner, her spirits worsening, and she's been paranoid all day. Today, my family and I had dinner with a friend's family, and when they talked about this, we all felt something was wrong."
Duan Anluo nodded in agreement.
Having the same dream over and over again is definitely a problem, especially if it involves a bridal sedan, which is something few people normally dream of.
"This girl had a dead boyfriend before. Could it be that the scumbag is still unwilling to give up and is still obsessed with her?"
Duan Anluo keenly smelled the scent of gossip from the word "scumbag". "Did they break up when the other person died?"
"We broke up and even went to court," Xiong Shengxi said angrily. "That guy is a scumbag and a liar. He comes from a poor family, but he listens to his mother. The girl's family is well-off, and they were in love and were about to get engaged, but then something really disgusting happened.
The man's family said they wanted to buy a house, with each family contributing half. The woman's family originally planned to give her a house, but the man refused, feeling she looked down on them. That same day, he arrived with a suitcase, claiming it was 500,000 yuan in cash from his parents' savings. The next day, when he went to deposit the money, he opened the suitcase and discovered it was entirely counterfeit.
The man's mother threw a tantrum, saying that the woman's family had swapped the money and insisted that the woman's family pay compensation.
Later, they called the police. After checking the box, the police proved that the box had not been touched and that the money was just fake money from the man's family.
The girl's family was furious and insisted that they break up.
The old woman refused to give up and started spreading rumors everywhere, saying that the girl was a cheap slut and had slept with her son, and that anyone who married her would be a slut... The situation became so ugly that the girl sued them.
"What's the result?"
"In the end, the man got his comeuppance. On his way to court, he fell into the river and drowned. The old lady was detained for a few days, and the matter was eventually dropped."
"How long has that man been dead?"
"Half a year."
Duan Anluo fell into deep thought. Logically speaking, if the scumbag was unwilling to die and wanted to get back with the girl, it shouldn't have taken so long.
The sedan chair was getting closer and closer, proving that the other party's resentment was growing stronger.
Xiong Shengxi sighed, "Master Duan, can you take a look at that girl? Money is not a problem."
Duan Anluo agreed readily. As long as money was not a problem, he had no problem.
"Please ask the family to bring the girl over. I can't come to their house right now." Duan Anluo sent an address. "Call me when you get to the door and I'll go out to find you."
Xiong Shengxi said happily: "We'll go tomorrow morning!"
Duan Anluo counted on his hands and said, "Don't wait until tomorrow morning, come now."
The author has something to say:
I'm tired, so this is the limit for today. I'm going out to eat and get some fresh air. If I don't have 100,000 words in reserve before the next chapter starts, I'll be a bastard!
