Shanshan looked at the Fengpei in Haohao's hand and smiled: "Her token of love." The gloating in her words made it hard for the two of them not to notice.

"A token of love? You actually arranged a marriage for Haohao? Who is it? Is it the ugly son of Kong Lanjing's family? Shanshan, that kid is a spitting image of his father. He's not worthy of our Haohao at all! Don't be so confused!"

As he said this, Jiang Ningming was about to snatch the hot thing from Haohao's hand.

But I have been carrying it with me all the time and have gotten used to it, so how could I be willing to do that?

Mu Yuchen's eyes flickered but he didn't say anything.

But Shan Shan waved his hand and said: "No, it was given by my ancestor. He said that Haohao has a destined person here. That person has a dragon pendant in his hand. It is said that we are destined to be together in the future."

Jiang Ningming couldn't believe it: "Is there such a thing?"

Shanshan shrugged. "I don't know the details. Anyway, it's just a little toy. Let her play with it. If there really is such a person, if he's a good one, I can entrust my life to him. But if he's a bad one, I won't agree to it."

Jiang Ningming also nodded vigorously: "Yes, if that guy is not a good person, don't blame your uncle for angrily cutting off the peach blossom!"

Mu Yuchen said nothing, but took out his cell phone and took a photo of the jade pendant.

Seeing Shanshan and Jiang Ningming looking at him, Mu Yuchen calmly put away his phone: "Don't you think she's cute like this? I'm going to use it as wallpaper."

Neither of them doubted it anymore.

"I'm actually very curious. As you know, this pen is actually of little use to me. The secret of the house before is not a big deal. It's just to satisfy my curiosity. Why don't you let me just give this pen to Yuchi Wei?

After all, whether it's Yuchi Wei or Yuchi Lan, they seem to be people I can't afford to offend. As long as I give up the pen, I will have one less big trouble. Isn't this a good thing for you guys too?"

Before Mu Yuchen could speak, Jiang Ningming spoke first: "Why should we give it to her? This thing was so hard for you to win in the first place! Just because she is so powerful, we should give it away? How is this different from robbery?

Besides, we are not afraid of her. No matter how powerful she is, can she be more powerful than the country? "

Mu Yuchen smiled. "My good brother is right. No matter how powerful she is, she is not as powerful as the laws of the country. What's more, my Mu family is not afraid of her Yuchi family.

That thing originally belonged to you, there is no reason to give it away."

Shan Shan smiled when he heard that. "Then you better be careful. You are on my side now. If you betray me, I will never forgive you."

Jiang Ningming patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will never join forces with bandits!"

Everyone was chatting happily here, but Mu Yuchen's phone was bombarded with messages.

It wasn't until Shanshan went to the kitchen to cook and Jiang Ningming went to the bathroom that Mu Yuchen calmly took out his phone, picked up Haohao, and took a few photos.

Stare at Mu Yuchen with wide eyes.

Since I've been seeing him for the past few days, I'm not unfamiliar with him. I just wonder why he's so strange.

Mu Yuchen couldn't hide the smile on his face.

When the other party kept asking questions, he calmly replied and then turned off the phone.

Jiang Ningming came out of the bathroom and saw Mu Yuchen's happy face. He couldn't help but feel suspicious: "Are you thinking about love?"

Mu Yuchen rolled his eyes: "I just thought of something funny."

Jiang Ningming was puzzled: "What's so funny?"

Mu Yuchen shook his head: "I can't say."

Jiang Ningming rolled his eyes, imitating Mu Yuchen's behavior. "Forget it. Okay, let's go find mom. Let's see what delicious food she cooks for us today~"

Jiang Ningming took Haohao away, and Mu Yuchen sat alone in the tea room and drank the remaining tea that Shanshan had brewed herself.

Then he stood up and said, "Shanshan, I have to go out for something and will be back tomorrow."

Shanshan couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "Are you leaving before you eat?"

Mu Yuchen waved his hand: "There's something I won't feel comfortable without doing."

That Shanshan said "Oh" and said: "Then be careful."

What was Mu Yuchen doing? Naturally, he was putting away his precious tea. He didn't understand the benefits of tea, but his little cousin was a martial arts genius. If he went looking for him and he discovered his tea, it would be a disaster.

Watching Mu Yuchen leave, Jiang Ningming said, "It's inexplicable."

Then he held Haohao in his arms and went to find Shanshan: "Shanshan, do you think there is still hope for me?"

Shan Shan didn't react at first to what Jiang Ningming meant by this nonsensical statement, but then she realized what was going on. She then shook her head in amusement and said, "No hope."

Jiang Ningming sighed: "I knew it."

Shanshan thought about what the Space-Time Mirror had told him about this country, and after a moment's thought, he said, "You know, in this world, only one in ten million people can cultivate. In other words, only a few can cultivate. Most people are ordinary people."

Jiang Ningming was not happy when he heard this, but became even more depressed: "If that's the case, then why can't I be that one in ten million?"

That Shanshan was amused: "You are already better than many people. Don't always stare at what you can't have. Go out first, I have to cook. You will choke later."

Jiang Ningming sighed again after hearing this, then turned and walked out.

When Shan Shan brought the food to the restaurant, he saw Jiang Ningming still sitting there with a depressed look on his face, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Why do you think the country doesn't allow people to be superstitious?"

Jiang Ningming raised his head and looked at Shanshan with a puzzled look: "Isn't it because superstition is bad?"

Shanshan placed the dishes on the table, pulled up a chair, sat down, looked at Jiang Ningming, and said seriously, "Of course, superstition is bad, but the country doesn't allow people to be superstitious. The deeper reason is to protect ordinary people. Think about it, if everyone knew that there are practitioners in this world, with all kinds of magical spells and mysterious powers, what would happen?"

Jiang Ningming scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Everyone will be curious and want to become a cultivator?"

Shan Shan nodded. "That's right, but how can cultivation be that easy? Only a very small number of people can become cultivators. Most people are destined to be ordinary people. When they find that no matter how hard they try, they cannot possess those magical abilities, they will experience a huge psychological gap and may even fall into despair and madness. Moreover, once the existence of cultivators becomes known to the public, it may cause all kinds of chaos and fighting. Ordinary people have no ability to protect themselves."

Jiang Ningming frowned, as if trying to digest this information. After a moment, he said, "But I still feel unwilling to be just an ordinary person. I always feel like something is missing."

Shan Shan smiled and put a piece of food into Jiang Ningming's bowl with his chopsticks. "Xiao Ning, now that the people above know about the existence of this powerful person, don't they feel worried?"

Jiang Ningming was puzzled: "What are you worried about?"

That Shanshan said, "A powerful monk can resist a powerful army alone. Moreover, because monks use unnatural powers, a powerful monk can destroy an entire country. If such a person exists, who wouldn't be afraid?"

If it were you, what would you do? "

Jiang Ningming was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment before slowly saying, "If it were me, I would probably find a way to control these monks and make them serve the country. This way, I could utilize their power while preventing them from causing trouble."

Shanshan nodded, a look of approval in his eyes. "You're right. The country does the same thing. But not all monks are willing to be controlled by the state. There will always be some ambitious people who seek to subvert the country and seek personal gain. Therefore, on the one hand, the country must establish good relations with monks who are willing to cooperate, and on the other hand, it must remain vigilant against monks with ulterior motives and be prepared to deal with any crisis that may arise."

Jiang Ningming frowned and said worriedly, "Wouldn't that be very dangerous? If those powerful monks really rebelled, would the country be able to cope with it?"

Shanshan nodded: "Yes, if the monks rebel, wouldn't the country be in danger. You can think of it, can't they? Isn't there a popular saying on the Internet: "The end of science is metaphysics?" But what wants to compete with metaphysics is still the higher-level science!

Most of us are ordinary people, but so what? Can we really let some ambitious people overturn the lives of ordinary people like us and make us slaves of the powerful?

Jiang Ningming was a little confused: "What do you mean by that?"

Shan Shan gestured for him to eat. "Just remember, this country you belong to is not a coward. Nor will it willingly become a slave. Even if it means risking your life, you will fight for your own world!"

Metaphysics is not omnipotent. When science reaches a certain level, it is not impossible to defeat metaphysics. "

Seeing that Jiang Ningming still didn't understand, Shan Shan said, "Eat your meal, and then I'll show you something."

Jiang Ningming then said "Oh" and started to eat seriously.

But his mind was still thinking about what Shanshan had just said.

Suddenly, Jiang Ningming opened his eyes wide and looked at Shanshan: "Shanshan, I find that you seem to have changed since you gave birth to Haohao."

That gleaming eyebrow raised: "Changed?"

Jiang Ningming nodded vigorously: "She has become mature. She has changed a lot from the brainless Shanshan before. Is this what it means to be a mother?"

That shining black line: "Maybe it's because I died once, or maybe it's because I know I will never be the same person again." She can never go back to the place where she can be carefree forever.

Without elders who love her, why should she treat herself as a child?
