Chapter 172 A Fateful Marriage (10)
Their department had a collective meeting, and they concluded that the strength of these two individuals was unfathomable. They estimated that only the reclusive patriarchs of major sects and families could contend with them. That's why their superiors instructed them to try their best to win them over, but not to offend them if they couldn't win them over.
Now that these two have joined their Seven Departments, they are one of their own, which is already the best possible outcome. So he was just casually mentioning the Ning family's situation and didn't mean anything by it.
Ning Yan was willing to join the Seventh Department precisely because she saw that Jin Wu was not a treacherous person. Of course, she was not afraid even if someone tried to scheme against her.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know."
Jin Wu smiled; this time, he was truly leaving.
Ning Yan watched him leave, then closed the door.
Xu Jinchen put his arm around her waist and sat her down on the sofa. "The Ning family went bankrupt. You're not upset, are you?"
“Why should I be upset? I sold all the shares back then because I knew he would squander the money one day. It was all expected. Hu Qingge’s death was even less of a surprise. It’s good that she’s dead, so I don’t have to think of ways to torment her.”
If there is metaphysics in this world, then there is an even greater emphasis on cause and effect. Ning Jiuzhou rose to prominence because of his daughter, which is equivalent to borrowing his daughter's luck. Now that his daughter has severed ties with him, he will definitely suffer the backlash.
"Are you going to see him?"
Ning Yan: "No way! I wish I could never have anything to do with him again in this lifetime!"
But it's obvious that's impossible. If things go wrong, she might even have to take care of Ning Jiuzhou in his old age. After all, Ning Jiuzhou raised the original owner safely, so she has to take care of Ning Jiuzhou in his old age as well.
So let's wait until he's older before talking about it.
Xu Jinchen could understand Ning Yan's feelings. If you can't have something, don't expect it. If you don't expect it, you'd rather stay far away from it.
"Okay, I'm relieved that you're unaffected. What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
Ning Yan shook her head, "Just a big bowl of dumplings with some soy sauce and chili oil will be enough."
"Okay, I'll fill a big bowl for you, with sauerkraut and pork filling."
He knew what she liked to eat.
The pickled cabbage was leftover from when they lived in the village, brought along by his wife in her storage bag. The meat was bought fresh today to ensure its freshness.
Ning Yan actually loves all kinds of fillings, but she especially likes the sauerkraut and pork filling.
She felt like someone had wrapped it for her before, which is why she couldn't forget the taste.
...
Ning Yan went to work on time the next two days.
Around 10 o'clock, the mission came: a ghost incident had occurred in the East District, and the four members of their group immediately set off.
Ning Yan and Jin Wu both possess top-tier combat abilities, so Jin Wu doesn't assign them any daily tasks.
But since it was Ning Yan's first time becoming a civil servant, wasn't this something new and exciting? So she came to work and even asked the supervisor to assign them to groups.
Xu Jinchen is not human after all, so for safety reasons, the couple was assigned to the same group as a man and a woman.
Xiao Qin comes from the Qin family, a family of cultivators. Ning Yan observed that his strength was only at the second level of Qi Refining, but he carried many life-saving items.
Of course, this is only relative. Compared to Ning Yan, those life-saving tricks are really not enough.
Jin Na came from Qingyi Sect and was the sect leader's last disciple.
He seems to be slightly stronger than Xiao Qin, roughly equivalent to the strength of a third-level refiner.
One is a scion of a prominent family, and the other is a closed-door disciple of a major sect, yet they possess such meager strength. I wonder what these sects in this world are so arrogant about.
Their cultivation methods are clearly no longer suitable for cultivation in this world, yet they still cherish them and consider themselves extraordinary, unaware that they are already on the path to decline.
Everyone was nervous when they arrived, and no one chatted. But when they got there, Ning Yan just threw out a Five Thunder Talisman, and the evil spirit and everything around him were turned to dust.
No one else had a chance to make a move.
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was noticeably more relaxed. "Sister Ning, our group is responsible for the Dongcheng area. If any unexpected events occur, we must be available immediately. If other groups encounter trouble, those who receive the message must also provide immediate support!"
Jin Na explained to Ning Yan with a smile.
"By the way, Sister Ning, could you sell me some of the talismans you have? The price is negotiable."
Ning Yan asked in surprise, "I just gave the deputy minister a hundred talismans yesterday. Those were all going to be distributed. Why did you buy more?"
The key point is that Qingyimen also knows how to draw talismans, so why would anyone want to buy hers?
"The main reason is that I want to buy some of your highest quality amulets. I can't help it, I'm terrified of dying."
The deputy minister said that the amulet you drew could ensure your safety even if you encountered the Ghost King, so…”
She didn't believe it before, but after seeing the power of the Five Thunder Talisman today, she had no choice but to believe it!
Xiao Qin, who was driving, chimed in, "Yes, yes, Sister Ning, I also want a few amulets, I'm willing to pay any price."
With a family background like theirs, money is the last thing they lack.
Ning Yan took out a stack of talismans from her storage bag. "Just talismans?"
What other talismans do you have?
Ning Yan showed them the talismans in her hand one by one, "Would you like a peach blossom talisman? Using it will definitely attract your true love!"
Do you need a Spirit Gathering Talisman? It will make your cultivation twice as effective.
Do you need a Ghost Extermination Talisman? Anyone below the Ghost King level will be instantly annihilated, and even the Ghost King can be immobilized for three minutes!
The Five Thunder Talisman can reduce everything within a one-zhang radius to ashes!
I still have space talismans here.
Do you know what a space talisman is? After using it, you'll have an 8-cubic-meter space, functioning like a storage bag, but only for 24 hours—a one-time consumable…”
Both of them were wondering what to do after hearing this.
Storage bags are rare items, passed down from ancestors to each family. Each family (sect) may only have two or three at most, so disciples certainly cannot obtain them.
Although this space talisman is a one-time consumable, it's not unreasonable to buy two talismans that can hold 8 cubic meters of space just in case, right?
On her first day at work, Ning Yan earned a lot of extra money, having used up a large number of those useless talismans she had drawn for practice.
There was no way around it; these two young people had a wide network of connections. They just made a shout in the family group chat, and wow, a whole bunch of talismans were sold!
When they returned to the Seventh Division, it was lunchtime. Xiao Qin led them to get food in the cafeteria, and they chatted while eating.
Then everyone in the company knew that Xiao Qin and his wife had bought a lot of talismans. The colleagues joined in the fun and bought some as well. In the end, even the department head personally got involved and asked for a peach blossom talisman for his clueless eldest son. He also prepared follow-up talismans: a pregnancy talisman (for unpredictable gender), a smooth delivery talisman, and a recovery talisman all in one go!
I bought another amulet for each member of my family.
Now, all of Ning Yan's amulets were sold out.
Hearing that she was out of talismans, the minister waved his hand dismissively: "Go home and draw more talismans. Just keep your phone on and I'll let you know if anything comes up."
