The question stumped her immediately. "More than a thousand years old?" From what she had learned along the way, ordinary people in this world couldn't cultivate.

"Seventeen..."

Jiuning didn't even dare to turn his head and left in embarrassment.

After that, she didn't know what was said inside. Butler Zhuo arranged accommodation for her. She couldn't help here, so she left.

In the house, Old Man Zhuo wanted to adopt Jiuning as his adopted daughter, but he stopped talking. If there was one more person in the Zhuo family at this time, it would be obvious to others that this was the special existence in Kunlun Mountain.

It was not until he saw Fan Ying bringing his newly adopted daughter that Old Man Zhuo finally came up with a good idea.

That night, news of the old man's death came. The person who brought the message was standing at her door, and next to him was a person who looked exactly like her.

"Miss, my name is Fan Ying, and I'm the deputy commander of the Monster Hunting Division. This is my adopted daughter, Wen Xiao."

Jiu Ning let them into the house and poured them a cup of tea.

"Just call me Jiuning, sir. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."

Fan Ying was still a little embarrassed, so it was Wen Xiao who spoke up for her.

"Miss Jiuning, before Lord Zhuo died, he entrusted you to my adoptive father. We should tell everyone that you are twins. What do you think?"

Jiu Ning looked at the woman in front of him named Wen Xiao. She had clear eyes and a soft voice. She was a pure and kind person.

"it is good···"

Jiu Ning hesitated. Her status was good, but it was still difficult for her to call a man who was more than a thousand years younger than her father.

"Besides...you are also Young Master Zhuo's fiancée."

"what?"

Jiuning was surprised! What happened? How come she became his fiancée?

"It's a cover-up, don't get me wrong, it won't delay the girl in five years, she can get married freely."

Fan Ying didn't know what the other party was thinking. Was he just going to arrange someone for his son so openly? He didn't even discuss it with the girl in advance.

Fan Ying didn't know, but Jiu Ning could guess that she was using an identity that would not arouse suspicion in exchange for her protecting the young master of the Zhuo family, and it might also be because of the Yun Guang Sword.

Tie her to the Zhuo family. Five years later, the young master has grown up and is able to protect himself.

"Fiancée? Okay, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Fan Ying touched her nose and her ears turned red.

"Since she is my fiancée, Master Zhuo's funeral is the best time to announce her identity."

She wants to keep vigil for Lord Zhuo as his fiancée?

Looking at the box in Wen Xiao's hand, there must be a set of mourning clothes inside! This is all prepared, and he calculated that she would not refuse, the old fox.

"Father!!!"

Jiuning accepted this identity and looked at Wen Xiao again.

"Call me sister..."

"···elder sister."

Wen Xiao showed two shallow dimples and felt that her sister was a little overbearing.

Fan Ying suddenly had two beautiful daughters, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Good! That's great. This is my welcome gift to you."

Jiu Ning took the jade token that Fan Ying took out of her arms, and also took the box from Wen Xiao's hand. There was indeed a set of mourning clothes inside.

"Thank you, foster father."

After saying that, he turned and went into the bedroom, changed his clothes, and went with them to the Zhuo family, which was not far from the Demon Hunting Bureau.

All festive items at the main gate of the Zhuo family were replaced with white clothes, white sails and white lanterns.

In the main hall, a young man in white clothes was kneeling in front of the spirits of his father and brother, looking decadent.

It was getting late and the dew was heavy. The young boy was only wearing a single piece of clothing. He had no reaction to the outside world and looked dazed and stupid. Butler Zhuo wanted to hand him a piece of clothing, but was rejected.

This second male lead is really miserable. His father and brother died at the same time, leaving him alone. No wonder he wanted to tie her up in the Zhuo family.

When he arrived in front of the coffin, he first lit a stick of incense, then took the clothes from the housekeeper's hand, put them on Zhuo Yichen, and knelt beside him.

"I'll look after him, you go and do your work!"

The housekeeper nodded, and Fan Ying also left to help deal with the aftermath, and took Wen Xiao with her when she left.

"Thank you···"

The voice was smaller than a mosquito, but she heard it clearly. She turned to look at the boy with a pure face, and pity welled up in her heart.

I don’t know how to comfort people. Nothing I say is appropriate at this moment. I can only remain silent.

"I heard from my father that if it weren't for you, they probably wouldn't have survived their encounter with Zhu Yan."

"But I still couldn't save them."

Jiu Ning used a talisman and a sword to kill quickly, but she couldn't handle the large number of people. All she could do was kill them all without letting any one go.

"Thank you. If you want to leave in the future, I will let you go."

After that, Zhuo Yichen remained silent for the entire night. Occasionally, he would shed a few tears when thinking of sad things, but more often, he would remain silent and mournful.

The Demon Hunting Division is a department that deals with demons and is also a department that everyone fears. When something happens to the Zhuo family, naturally many people will come to offer condolences, but most of them have ulterior motives.

On the second day, when the Zhuo family's door opened, the first person to arrive was Situ Ming. He was the deputy commander of the Demon Hunting Bureau and the one who stayed behind to take charge.

"Xiao Zhuo, I'm so sorry for the loss!"

Jiuning looked at the other person with eyes full of apology, regret, and deep sadness.

"If I had gone with him, would Lord Zhuo have survived? I'm sorry."

Situ Ming walked closer, hugged Zhuo Yichen tightly in his arms, and then lit two incense sticks in front of the spirit.

"The Monster Hunting Division has a lot of things to do. My father is very relieved that you are here to take charge. You don't have to blame yourself."

Hearing this, Situ Ming felt even more guilty.

"From now on, there will be no more Demon Hunting Bureau."

He heard the sound of something heavy falling in the yard. He looked out the window and saw three people breaking into the courtyard. The uncle thought to himself that they came at the perfect time. He had just finished tidying up the house during the day, and they came at night. At this time, he had a head injury. This body was young and could not compete with three adults. He wanted to find a place to hide. The uncle expanded his spiritual sense and felt it. He felt a space underground. He dodged and went down. He listened to the voices of several people on the ground. He didn't find anyone, nor did he find any money. However, every room was in a mess. He was angry and resentful, but he didn't dare to make too much noise. After all, there were lives in this courtyard. So he jumped out and ran away.

After everyone left, the uncle looked around the basement. It was pitch black. But for a mermaid accustomed to the ocean, no matter how dark it was, she could still see clearly. After all, in the ocean, just below the ocean, there was no light. In the secret room, there were many boxes piled up. He thought of the treasure he had been asking about in his dream. Could it be that he hadn't found it in this basement? Indeed, he couldn't find it because there was no exit. The uncle could feel that the upper part was completely sealed off, and it was far from the ground.

This basement is three meters deep from the ground and waterproofed. The secret room is not big, but deep enough. No wonder there is no suspicion. There are often treasures in this small courtyard. Uncle looked through the secret room. There are Xiangzhong Zhang's belongings, of various types. He is the only one left in this family. So, with a wave of his hand, uncle put all the boxes in the basement into the space. Oh. On the second day, he went to the suburbs and collected a lot of soil. He put it into the secret room and filled it up. In the past few days, uncle can feel every day that someone is investigating and following him. Every night, someone breaks into the small courtyard, which makes uncle very annoyed. Even last night, several people broke into the courtyard and wanted to kidnap uncle. Fortunately, uncle placed a circle of gongs on the wall of the courtyard. The people outside had already jumped into the courtyard and stepped on the gongs first.
