Su Qing didn't expect to get on a flight back to Guangzhou so soon; she left in the morning and returned in the evening.
Yang Zhuyu drove to Yangcheng Airport in advance according to the flight information to wait for the plane to land. Su Qing was not surprised, and simply said politely, "Good evening, Teacher Yang."
"Good evening, Miss Su. Have you had dinner? If you're hungry, we can go with you to get something to eat." Yang Zhuyu looked at Su Qing with a smile.
Su Qing shook her head and replied that it was no need.
"Then Miss Su, please get in the car."
An Qiuxi took the luggage from Su Qing and put it in the trunk, then sat in the back seat with Su Qing.
The car sped towards the abandoned ancient temple, arriving in less than an hour. The ghoul guards outside the gate greeted Lord Yang and Miss An, who had brought a stunningly beautiful woman, with respectful eyes.
An Qiuxi led Su Qing to the room that had been prepared for her in advance.
"Sister Qing, I'm sorry to trouble you to stay here for a while. You can go back once things are settled."
Su Qing nodded as she looked at the tidy room. "Didn't your master want to see me?"
"Yes, Master is working on a very important project. I'll take you to put your luggage here first, and then I'll take you to see her."
Su Qing followed behind An Qiuxi, observing the environment of the abandoned ancient temple.
An Qiuxi led Su Qing to the open space behind the abandoned ancient temple. A huge magic circle was drawn on the large open space. Nangong sat cross-legged in the center of the magic circle, chanting incantations.
The white magic circle, drawn with extremely rare materials, gradually turned red as Nangong continuously chanted incantations and infused it with his own blood. The reddening speed was very slow, corresponding to the time it would take for the people to become ghouls. When the patterns of the magic circle turned completely red, all the people in Yangcheng would be transformed into ghouls.
Su Qing was shocked to see Nangong with disheveled hair in the center of the formation. Nangong noticed Su Qing's arrival and slowly opened her eyes, her voice filled with deep weariness.
"Xiao Qing, you've arrived."
"Manager Nangong, you—" Su Qing was interrupted by Nangong before she could finish speaking.
Nangong stood up from the center of the formation, and two girls who looked exactly alike and were wearing cute dresses suddenly appeared and took Nangong's place to continue setting up the formation.
"Don't be surprised. My full name is Nangong Wenqing. That child told you about the Corpse Demon, right?"
Su Qing paused for a moment and nodded.
Nangong walked up to Su Qing, her beautiful blood-red eyes gazing tenderly at her.
"I am Yanluo's grandmother."
This sentence contained a lot of information, and Su Qing almost stumbled and fell, but fortunately An Qiuxi caught her.
Nangong patted Su Qing's head, as if he were relieved, and continued, "My story is very long, do you want to hear it?"
Su Qing nodded subconsciously.
Nangong cannot leave the range of the array's patterns. While the left and right guardians can chant the incantations on her behalf, the array requires her own blood, which is irreplaceable. She must remain within the array's range at all times until the array is fully completed.
An Qiuxi and the others only learned about Nangong's identity a while ago. When she found out, An Qiuxi was devastated. She thought that Nangong let them get close to Yanluo in order to take over Yangcheng, and even thought that it was because he liked Yanluo.
No one could have imagined that Nangong would be Yanluo's grandmother, but Nangong's explanation convinced everyone.
I also long to be able to live openly and honestly with my family.
It is precisely because of this goal and the vow to be loyal to Nangong that everyone has come this far step by step.
After listening to Nangong's story, Su Qing gradually understood her thoughts and motives, and she did not try to dissuade Nangong.
Everyone has their own dreams, and persuading someone to give up their dreams is tantamount to murdering their parents.
Nangong sat next to Su Qing, with An Qiuxi standing behind them.
"Xiao Qing, why did you go to Dali all of a sudden? If you hadn't left, we wouldn't have had a chance to keep you here," Nangong asked Su Qing.
Nangong wouldn't refuse to have more leverage in her hands, and Su Qing's departure gave her just the right opportunity.
After being comforted by Yang Sisi, Su Qing was able to face the matter calmly, and she told Nangong about it.
Nangong was very angry after hearing this.
"That brat! His grandfather was such a devoted man; he never remarried after I died. How come he didn't learn even a little bit from his grandfather!"
Nangong's disappointed expression made Su Qing and An Qiuxi burst into laughter.
Although having more granddaughters-in-law would continue the family line of the Yan family, Nangong, a warrior of pure love, still felt unbalanced for Su Qing.
Facing the young-looking Nangong, Su Qing naturally assumed the role of a granddaughter-in-law. She held Nangong's cold hand and said softly, "Grandma, I love him. It's enough that he loves me."
Nangong's bloodshot eyes flickered with emotion, and she reached out and poked Su Qing's head.
"You're such a love-struck kid."
Su Qing settled down in the abandoned ancient temple, and Yan Luo had already noticed it. The chaotic energy left in Su Qing's body immediately gave Yan Luo feedback.
Yanluo wasn't worried that Nangong would harm Su Qing. If he really wanted to, he would have done it from the beginning; why wait until now?
He will appear by Su Qing's side instantly if she is in danger, so there is no need to worry.
After Yanluo and Chi Miaomiao returned home, Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci, the two adults, were cooking dinner in the kitchen, and Yanluo went into the kitchen to help them.
Chi Miaomiao hadn't seen Tu Yier all afternoon, so the first thing she did when she got home was to find Tu Yier and shower her with affection. She felt uneasy if she didn't spend a day with Tu Yier.
Tu Yier sat obediently on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor, reading a book. Ever since her hair turned completely red, every move Tu Yier made seemed to have a sacred quality. Even her simple act of sitting and reading a book made people feel awe.
Everyone felt close to Tu Yier without much notice, but that's how it appeared to outsiders.
After Tu Yier and Chi Miaomiao finished their kiss, Tu Yier sat on her lap and continued reading. Tu Keke and Man Sui lay on the carpet, playing the village protection game on their phones.
Since school started a few days ago, Tu Luoxue and Lu Jiajing have returned to their usual diligent study habits. Even on weekends, they did not slack off, spending most of their time studying at their desks except when going to the toilet.
Yanluo felt helpless about the two girls' serious attitude. They clearly had the ability to get into Yangda University, but they still worked so hard. She even felt that it was a waste of their talents to aim for Yangda University.
With the help of Yanluo and the other two, dinner was quickly served. The first weekend after the start of the school year was over, and next week would be busy.
Yanluo had already asked the school for leave for herself and Su Qing. The student members of the Ninth Squad were all fully committed to the upcoming battle and had chosen to take a break from school for a while. As the captain, Yanluo also had to be serious and show some respect.
The best training for the Ninth Squad right now is to spar with Yan Luo. Only by constantly training with Yan Luo can the team's overall teamwork and coordination be improved.
Everyone's strength was insufficient to match a ninth-tier ghoul, but they were willing to give it their all, after all, behind them were the lights of countless homes.
