After He Linye officially began his cultivation, Emperor Xiu had less to worry about, especially since the former had to attend classes during the day and was not at his residence, making the latter's life increasingly leisurely.
Two of the three tasks have been completed; the remaining one, protecting the He family, is a long-term operation.
Compared to the previous timeline, the biggest crisis facing the He family has now disappeared, as there is one less potential threat – Qi Jinnian. However, it is hard to say what they will encounter in the future.
The He family members all carried amulets for protection. Emperor Xiu could sense the status of the amulets. Currently, only He Linye would occasionally cause some minor disturbances.
After seeing a classmate carrying a jade pendant that was full of yin energy, he liked to go to the antique market in his spare time to collect any jade pendant that was full of yin energy and then try to exorcise it.
001 thought he had a death wish. If it weren't for Di Xiu's protection, he would have been the one exorcised by the evil, not the other way around.
He Linye's strength steadily and slowly improved. He Linyu would come over whenever he had time, and the Emperor Cultivator would give him some pointers. In the end, the two of them were about the same speed of cultivation.
Di Xiu also taught them incantations, so that if they really encountered ghosts and monsters, they would have the ability to fight and save their lives.
When He Linye was learning this, he was completely discouraged. After Di Xiu discovered that he had no talent at all, he gave him a booklet and told him to just memorize what each talisman looked like and how to use it. Instead, he taught him how to make hand seals and arrange the energy.
This guy is influenced by Japanese anime and is quite interested in this.
Then winter break came, and nothing much happened.
But He Linye was a little nervous from the start of winter vacation, and even more so as the New Year approached. Di Xiu asked him and found out that he was worried that He Linyu would have another car accident.
Although Qi Jinnian is dead, he still feels a lingering fear when he thinks about this incident.
Di Xiu didn't try to persuade him, letting him scratch his head and fidget restlessly.
After the New Year, He's parents, both workaholics, left immediately. He Linyu, who had inherited some of his parents' traits, said he had an appointment to discuss business in the afternoon and wouldn't be home for dinner that evening.
He Linye wanted to tell him not to go several times, but he held back. In the end, he repeatedly told him not to go to the Fugui Building area.
That evening, He Linyu half-carried his friend into the car, while he leaned against the car window and closed his eyes to rest.
As the car slowed down, he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation, his heart pounding violently. When he opened his eyes, he saw the traffic lights across the street and felt a strange sense of resistance.
His gaze shifted and he saw the huge characters "Fugui Building" on the building to his left. He immediately remembered his brother's words and subconsciously said, "Turn right."
The driver immediately turned the steering wheel and took a slightly longer route to drop his friend off at home before they returned to the He family's house.
He Linye waited at the door, and when he saw the car was intact and the people getting out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He Linyu found this strange, but with other people around, they couldn't say anything casually, so they suppressed their doubts, washed up, and then called the person to their room.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
He Linye looked at the ceiling, then at the carpet, and hummed for a long time without saying a word. But when he saw his older brother raise his eyebrows, he immediately felt his legs go weak.
"Well... it's a secret that can't be revealed. Brother, you're my only brother, I would never harm you."
He Linyu picked up the phone next to the pillow, unlocked it, and threw it in front of him: "Then explain this."
He Linye looked down and saw that there had been a car accident near the Fugui Building. A large truck had crashed into a lamppost and then plunged into the wall of the building.
His face paled, and he quickly scrolled down, only to find that apart from the driver, there were no other injuries or fatalities at the scene, which relieved him.
The next second, he realized he had released his anger too soon.
"You know there are car accidents there?"
He Linyu roughly estimated the time; if they hadn't turned and had gone straight, they would likely have run into each other at the next traffic light.
He Linye's eyes darted around, and his right hand unconsciously picked at his thumb nail. He Linyu noticed it but didn't point it out.
He Linye suddenly pulled his hand into his pajama sleeve and muttered, "Why don't you ask Master? He knows too."
He Linyu was taken aback: "Mr. Di also knows?"
"Um."
He Linyu didn't press the matter further. He had also drunk some wine and was a little tipsy. After sending He Linye back, he went straight to bed to rest.
On the other side, He Linye returned to his room. As soon as he opened the door, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. However, after cultivating, he became much more resistant to cold and heat. Apart from feeling a little cold, he was fine.
He looked around and saw Di Xiu standing at the window. He turned around and closed the door, asking with some confusion, "Master, why did the car accident still happen even though Qi Jinnian died?"
Di Xiu closed the window, turned around and sat down on the sofa, saying, "The driver who caused the accident was drunk. Qi Jinnian can ask the little devil to take control of the steering wheel and hit people, but he can't force him to drive drunk."
"fine……"
001 asked, "What's wrong?"
"Fortunately, there were no casualties."
001 gave him a strange look, but He Linye was too busy checking his phone to notice, and even less did he notice that there was a ghost in the window just now.
He Linye found the accident online. Apart from the driver, no one else was injured or killed. The only unlucky thing was that the gold shop that was hit was the gold shop. The police have now intervened.
He put down his phone and began to cultivate. When it was midnight, he couldn't resist the urge to sleep and lay down.
Half asleep, he suddenly remembered something and jumped up. Di Xiu, who was staying up all night with 001 to watch dramas, heard the noise and glanced at him, only to hear him mutter, "Something bad has happened."
001, eyes glued to the TV, asked curiously, "What's wrong with you now?"
Someone—no, someone—took notice of him, so He Linye immediately launched into a conversation: "My brother was supposed to meet my sister-in-law today, but now that things are like this, can she still be my sister-in-law?"
"You should try to bring them together."
"But I don't know her now, Xiao Yi, do you have a solution?"
"This is outside our scope of business, dear. Please keep trying your best."
He Linye had nothing to say, so he lay back down, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He got up and sat down next to Di Xiu and 001 to watch TV together.
But why are you watching fantasy romance dramas? Are you real cultivators watching fake ones?
He Linye fell asleep after watching for a short while, and Di Xiu gathered spiritual energy to move him back to bed.
