Brief introduction: I have a conflict of interest, so I'll remain anonymous...

Hongling was preparing to give her niece a righteous interrogation when she discovered that Hongli had suddenly disappeared in front of her!

Hongling: "???"

"what's the situation?"

Hongling rubbed her eyes, confirming that there was no trace of Hongli ahead. Her senses told her that there was no one in front of her!

She couldn't help but turn to look at the three girls who had just "escaped," and asked in confusion, "Where are they?"

The three girls looked at each other, equally bewildered.

"Huh? Is this an illusion? When did this happen?!"

"Hmm, I guess I'm still not fully awake..."

"Senior Sister Hongling, be careful! There's an unknown poisonous gas in the kitchen!"

"..."

Looking at her three unreliable junior sisters, Hongling couldn't help but complain, "Is it some kind of poison gas that lowers people's IQ?"

"What the hell is poison gas?! That's the smell of food! The smell of food!"

A furious roar rang out, and Hong Li's voice reached everyone's ears: "You dare to barge into someone else's kitchen and point fingers at the owner's kitchen, huh!"

Everyone: "!!!"

"Wait...this is..."

Nan Xiaoyi shook her dazed head and looked at Hongling: "Where did that sound come from?"

Hong Li's voice seemed to be right next to their ears. As cultivators, being able to locate someone by sound was a basic skill for them, but they couldn't detect Hong Li's location at all. If it weren't for the fact that Hong Ling also looked confused, Nan Xiaoyi would have thought she was hallucinating!

"Phew, it seems..."

Hongling pondered for a moment, then said to the air, "It seems that you haven't slacked off in your cultivation lately, Xiaoli. You've actually developed such a powerful concealment technique. Combined with your previous defensive and detection techniques, are you trying to single-mindedly cultivate yourself into a tortoise shell?"

"Hmph, what's wrong with a tortoise? It's tough and stable, and it has a long lifespan. It can live for thousands of years without eating or drinking. It can just tuck its head in and be home."

Hong Li's disdainful voice came from all directions: "Anyway, you can't find it now, so go back to where you came from! Don't stay in my house!"

"Oh?"

Hongling raised an eyebrow and patted the armband on her shoulder: "But we are now members of the law enforcement team and have the right to investigate you."

"You're not leaving, huh!"

Hong Li snorted coldly: "If you're not leaving, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"W-how..."

Hongling's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm: "What do you want to do, you rude thing? I'm warning you, Xiaoli, don't do anything impulsive!"

"Ha, too late!"

Hong Li sneered repeatedly: "If you won't leave, then I will! If I can't afford to offend you, I can at least avoid you, hmph!"

"Ah this..."

"Oh, I think I understand..."

Little Fire, huddled in the corner, glanced furtively at everyone, then quietly retreated. Her extensive experience told her that what was about to happen...

"Ah!"

Hongling reacted at this moment and retorted without backing down: "You can walk? If you can walk, can your daughter Xiao Huo walk too? Xiao Yi, seize the crane!"

"Ah this..."

Nan Xiaoyi was taken aback: "But, aren't we a righteous organization? Isn't this method of capturing cranes a bit...?"

"She was an accomplice too!"

"That's okay!"

The three henchmen quickly turned around, trying to search for Little Fire's whereabouts.

"Heh, as expected, Little Fire knew it."

As expected, Xiao Huo spoke with disdain. The crane had already retreated to the other end of the room. Although she couldn't see it, a familiar hand gently grasped her and tucked her into its arms before disappearing as well!

"!!!"

Nan Xiaoyi and the other two were startled and almost simultaneously rushed towards the place where the fire had disappeared!

"You've finally revealed your location!"

"In this short moment, where can you run to!"

"Your kindness has ruined you!"

The three men wore smug expressions, looking completely confident...

"boom!"

"Ah!"*3

Hongling: "..."

Seeing his three junior sisters slumped against the wall, their heads colliding, unable to get up again.

Two of the girls still have large bumps on their heads and have now suffered secondary injuries; they may be able to apply for serious injury compensation from the law enforcement team.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

A snicker echoed in the air, causing Hongling's face to darken even further.

"That's it?"

Hongli stood beside the three people lying on the ground, looking down at them. She stroked Xiao Huo's head with her small hand, displaying an arrogant and smug look: "No way, no way, even the enforcement team isn't up to par!"

"Xiao Li!"

Hongling gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be too smug!"

As far as she knew, Hong Li's weakness wasn't just her little fire!

She abruptly turned her head to look at the comic book on Hong Li's bedside table, a smile appearing on her face. Just as she was about to step forward, the comic book suddenly disappeared before her eyes, along with Hong Ling's smile.

"Tch, really? You can't catch them, so you're resorting to threatening people with my stuff now?"

After putting the comic books and bedside snacks into the storage bag, Hongli said in a flat tone, "Auntie, your tricks are really childish. No wonder you suffered a crushing defeat in life!"

Hongling: "!!!"

"Hey, did you hear that? My senior sister's niece said it herself, so this is official confirmation, right?"

The three girls lying on the ground huddled together, whispering gossips: "Sure enough, Senior Sister's recent strange behavior is because she's completely lost to Senior Sister Tao Yao in love!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Senior Sister Hongling arrived first, but..."

"Ah, how pathetic, how pathetic!"

"Don't get close to men, it will bring misfortune!"

"One thing to say, it's true!"

"Hey, you guys."

Hongling's face darkened as she looked at the three girls huddled together whispering to each other, and she couldn't help but roar, "If you're not dead, get up and help me right now!"

Girl A: "No, I'm seriously injured right now."

Girl B: "That's right, I don't even have a name, why should I risk my life for them!"

Nan Xiaoyi: "Although I have a name, I can see that this is already a personal grudge. Please, senior sister, do not abuse your power for personal gain!"

"well said!"

Hongli chimed in, "I admire your fearless spirit! Just dump your aunt and you'll be my follower from now on!"

Nan Xiaoyi: "Thank you for your appreciation, elder sister!"

"enough!"

Hongling's head was filled with a bunch of tic-tac-toe symbols as she grabbed Xingyun beside her: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, your aunt had no choice!"
