“Xia Huaisang.” Ma Xianhong pursed his lips and continued, “My great-grandfather started telling the story of Xia Huaisang when my grandfather was young.”

"Kill the bandits, storm the Celestial Master's Mansion, and protect the 36 Righteous Men..."

"Loyal and righteous, decisive in battle, powerful, dedicated to protecting our homeland!"

"A true man should be like this."

Xia Linyuan's lips twitched: "If that's the case, why did you arrest my second master..."

“Senior Xia.” Ma Xianhong, who respected Xia Huaisang, naturally knew Xia Liuqing. He frowned slightly and said, “I did look for traces of Brother Guo Xia, but he was too cautious and could easily shake off my spies.”

"So I have never seen him, let alone arrested him."

"Then who did you order Chen Duo and the others to arrest?" Xia Linyuan asked, frowning.

“Mei Jinfeng.” Ma Xianhong glanced at Chen Duo.

Chen Duo nodded, and finally had the opportunity to hand over the Devouring Pouch.

“It was someone I couldn’t refuse who asked me to capture him.” Ma Xianhong picked up the food bag and looked through the viewing mirror.

He gasped sharply. He blinked. Then he looked over again.

Pick up the sac and pour it out.

The two of them floated out.

"A grotto-heaven?" The word flashed through Wang Ye's mind.

"Your thing can hold a person."

Ma Xianhong shook his head: "We can't pretend to be alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed a murderous intent and quickly added, "Except for Xiao Si."

Sleep is a form of death.

Xia Linyuan checked Xia Liuqing's pulse and found it to be very steady, showing no signs of weakening.

“I used the Sleeping Gu.” Chen Duo finally knew who Xia Linyuan’s grandfather was and explained, “When Mei Jinfeng was captured, this old man tried his best to stop it. In the end, Wu Kui couldn’t stand it and captured him as well.”

Xia Linyuan nodded slowly and looked at Mei Jinfeng: "The person my second master risked his life to protect, are you still going to hand him over to the person who entrusted you with this task?"

Ma Xianhong frowned but did not speak.

Seeing Ma Xianhong's predicament, Xia Linyuan said calmly, "I have a suggestion. If you insist on having this old lady named Mei Jinfeng, let her come herself."

"Anyway, it's in Biyou Village, so you've already caught him."

Ma Xianhong hesitated for a moment: "I need to ask him what he thinks."

“You can also pin the blame on me.” Xia Linyuan quickly came up with another idea, saying in a way that was both a statement and a declaration: “I’m here. If she doesn’t agree, you can’t take this mother-in-law away unharmed.”

"Miss Chen Duo, could you remove the sleeping curse and lead me to a place where they can rest?"

Xia Linyuan picked up Xia Liuqing and discovered that his second master was smaller and lighter than he had imagined.

Chen Duo gave a soft "hmm". She released the "sleep spell", bent down, picked up Mei Jinfeng, and walked in one direction.

Xia Linyuan called Wang Ye to come along. In unfamiliar territory, having someone to look after you is always a good thing.

The night grew even darker.

In the wilderness, the owls hooted, creating an atmosphere of profound loneliness.

"Jin Feng'er, Jin Feng'er..."

Not long after the sleep-inducing curse was lifted, Xia Liuqing, who was in Xia Linyuan's arms, began to mutter.

I groggily opened my eyes, saw that young and handsome face, and grinned foolishly.

"Hehe, I dreamt about my grandson."

Xia Linyuan felt a lump in his throat, and for some reason, his eyes suddenly reddened.

Xia Liuqing's head swayed in Xia Linyuan's arms, looking quite content and seemingly enjoying herself immensely.

Just as Xia Linyuan was moved,

Xia Liuqing saw Chen Duo holding Mei Jinfeng.

I feel so much more energetic now!

Eyes wide open in anger!

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his fist and aimed it at Xia Linyuan's chin.

"You bastard! You're in cahoots with that little girl!"

Chapter 193, Reconciliation.

The punch was thrown very abruptly.

Xia Linyuan tilted his head slightly back as he was hit, looking up at the moon in the sky.

Its eyes were red, its nose was red, and even its chin was red; it looked rather pathetic and comical.

Although Chen Duo managed to grab Xia Liuqing's wrist in time, her fist still struck Xia Linyuan's chin, and with a forceful pull, she managed to drag Xia Liuqing down.

Xia Liuqing's Sleeping Gu was still a Gu, and her body hadn't fully recovered from the recent removal. Suddenly, she knelt before Xia Linyuan.

Xia Linyuan felt dizzy and disoriented, unsure whether it was from being hit or from being "cursed" by his elder kneeling. He fell face-first to the ground.

Chen Duo was slightly surprised. She put her hands under Xia Linyuan's armpits to support him and prevent him from falling too hard.

Mei Jinfeng, who was on Chen Duo's back, slipped to the ground without being secured by Chen Duo.

"Golden Phoenix!" Xia Liuqing cried out, and pounced on the ground to become a human cushion.

Wang witnessed everything and his lips twitched. The relationship between these four people was quite complicated: "Senior Xia, although I don't fully understand your grudges, I do know that there are some misunderstandings between you."

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying, "For the sake of this old lady who is still unconscious, it would be better if we went to another house."

Xia Liuqing took Jin Feng's pulse, then looked at Chen Duo, who was supporting her grandson. The hostility in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by a playful expression. She inexplicably put on airs: "What you said makes sense."

“Hey silly boy, come and carry me.”

“And little girl, come and carry Jin Feng’er.”

After the intense emotion, a sense of unfamiliarity followed.

The word "Master" that Xia Linyuan wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter what. He just said lightly, "Okay," and returned to his calm and serene demeanor.

As Xia Liuqing looked at Xia Linyuan, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Not long after, led by Chen Duo, they entered a relatively large wooden house.

Chen Duo placed Mei Jinfeng on the bed, and just as Xia Linyuan was about to repeat the action, Xia Liuqing behind her shouted, "I'll just sit by the bed. Otherwise, if Jinfeng finds out that I'm lying in the same bed with him, she probably won't talk to me for the rest of her life."

Xia Linyuan placed Xia Liuqing by the bedside and then just looked at him.

The same applies to Xia Liuqing.

Eyes wide open.

Finally, Xia Liuqing spoke up and asked, "Explain yourself. Weren't you at the company? How did you end up with this girl? There's no such person in your company, is there?"

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "So you knew I was at the company."

“Luo Tian Da Jiao knows…” Xia Liuqing chuckled, then sighed, “The company is good. There’s a future in the company. It’s upright and has a strong backing. Apart from the high commission on your salary, you don’t have to worry about anyone trying to take advantage of you.”

Even I, a 'fierce' person, have to avoid you.

Xia Linyuan looked to the side: "Now you don't need to beat around the bush anymore, I've been kicked out."

Xia Linyuan recounted what had happened to him, and Xia Liuqing sneered, "To put it bluntly, they just think you're easier to deal with than those aristocratic families. They want to use you as a scapegoat..."

"So, what are you planning to do now?"

Xia Liuqing's cold expression faded, and she laboriously crossed her legs, causing her dangling cloth shoes to shake.

Xia Linyuan remained silent.

Xia Liuqing laughed: "You don't trust me..."

Xia Linyuan shook his head: "No, I'm afraid you'll interfere."

"Because there are some things that I have to do myself."

Xia Linyuan slowly looked at Chen Duo: "Currently, Chen Duo is being hunted down by the six temporary workers, and knowing the reason behind it, I feel that Chen Duo is innocent."

"From my own perspective, I think the company did something wrong. From a personal perspective, Chen Duo is someone I've known for a long time. And I just happen to need this opportunity to prove myself."

"Temporary workers are practically the highest-ranking armed force in the company's supernatural community, so I'm going to make a name for myself by stepping on the name of temporary workers."

Xia Liuqing grinned: "You have ambition, but are you confident?"

Xia Linyuan smirked: "One of them is my master. If they are all at a similar level to my master, I have no confidence."

Just as Xia Liuqing was about to speak, Xia Linyuan continued, "Even so, we should still fight if necessary."

"It's not just for myself, it's also for Chen Duo."

Xia Liuqing chuckled: "What level have you reached in your Divine Mask training?"

"Second level."
