Qin Wushuang hummed, relaxed his body and leaned back, closed his eyes and took a nap. He opened his eyes only when Su Chen called him, and the fatigue in his eyes flashed across his face.

She stood up and helped carry the lunch boxes, then said softly, "Let's go to the lounge to eat. It's easy to be disturbed here in the office. I'll take half a day off in the afternoon to accompany you."

"Let's go shopping for clothes then. Your clothes are a bit out of date lately. Let's take a look at the new styles."

Su Chen looked down at himself. He was wearing sportswear and looked casual and comfortable, but he looked like a college student. Well, he was a little unstable. It would be better for him to buy some more mature clothes.

Otherwise, you'll look like a gigolo and unreliable.

He readily agreed: "Okay, I will listen to my wife."

The two sat facing each other for dinner. Qin Wushuang relaxed and casually asked, "How's Fumei doing lately? Didn't you say you were working at the police station during the summer vacation? Which police station is it?"

"Xing Fei's Criminal Investigation Division treats Fumei very well. The little girl adapts well there, but... they are a little too righteous."

"Hmm? How do you put this?"

Su Chen's tone was somewhat helpless: "The case they were handling was a bit dangerous. In order to save them, Fu Mei used something she shouldn't have used. The backlash was severe and she fainted and was hospitalized."

Qin Wushuang also liked the tenacious little girl. When he heard that the situation was so serious, he became a little worried: "It's serious. Which hospital is he in? Why don't we go and see him?"

"No, I've been discharged from the hospital and returned to the police station."

"Will this backlash be serious?"

"It's a minor case this time, luckily I've already dealt with it. If it were more serious, it would have shortened her lifespan. The girl is still young and in adolescence. She looks steady, but sometimes she's too sincere."

Su Chen was also a little helpless. He chose this girl as his disciple in the beginning because of her unique fate and strong character. Even though she had suffered a lot, she still insisted on being good.

"What Taoist priests fear most is being involved with too many people. When they develop deep feelings, they sometimes behave irrationally. I'm worried that the girl will hurt herself in the future."

"She's going to be in the sect in the future. Being a police officer isn't suitable for her. When someone hates evil and encounters the reality of being powerless, they can easily become twisted and dark."

Qin Wushuang didn't know much about cultivation, but he knew more about human nature. He said softly, "Some things have to be experienced. If you're going through them now, you can still help."

"When he grows up and his personality is formed, if he stumbles then, it will be harder to deal with than now. Even though you are the master, you can't interfere too much, right?"

"Everyone has their own path to take. Sometimes, you don't even know which path you want to take, and it's not something you can decide."

Su Chen understood what she meant. He didn't force things and didn't have any obsessions. Even as a master, he had to do this. He had to do things within his ability and not force things.

"Okay, let's see what she wants from now on. If she's willing to manage the sect, then she can. If not, then that's fine. But I still need to accept more disciples."

"If evil spirits become rampant in the future and the Xuanmen weakens, ordinary people will suffer."

The two of them ate and talked, and soon the table was almost finished. Qin Wushuang stood up and stretched his body: "Well, I haven't eaten so much in a long time, I feel a little full."

"I'm going to take a walk to digest my digestion. Do you want to come with me?"

"OK, all right."

The two went to the gym and strolled slowly for half an hour. When they had almost digested the food, Qin Wushuang mentioned his request for leave in the work group and asked his secretary to arrange the schedule.

Pulling Su Chen back to the lounge, he said, "Wait for me here. I'm going to take a shower and get some sleep. I've been suffering from insomnia since you were away."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is the calming incense gone?"

"Well, the calming incense is not as effective as yours."

"...!!"

So, he is still a sleeping pillow.

Qin Wushuang finished washing in a short while and came out wearing a cool silk nightgown. Her waist was slender and her skin was shiny and smooth, as if it was as delicate as a baby's.

When Su Chen saw her wiping her hair and walking towards him, his throat tightened and his body felt a little hot. He couldn't move his eyes away. "Are there any of my clothes here?"

"If you don't have any, that's fine. You can wear mine, I don't mind."

“…but I can’t wear it.”

Qin Wushuang looked at the man whose eyes darkened, and raised his eyes slightly with a bit of seductive charm: "Then don't wear it. Anyway, I'm the only one here and no one can see it."

Su Chen laughed when he heard that: "I'm just kidding. I have some spare clothes in my space bag. I'll go take a shower and use them as a pillow for you later."

"Well, go quickly."

The sound of a hairdryer soon filled the room.

Soon the two of them were lying on the bed. Qin Wushuang leaned in his arms, smelling the familiar refreshing scent and the faint herbal fragrance. He closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Tell me about your search for the remains of the martyrs. Did you encounter any danger?"

Su Chen rested his chin on the top of her head and said in a low voice, "Okay, the first place we went to was the XXX Desert. The climate there is very harsh, with sandstorms, wind and sand, and a lack of water."

"The country wants me to cooperate because I'm a walking map. If you get lost in that desert, you're not far from death, not to mention finding those bones and taking them home."

"Then we encountered quicksand and one person disappeared. When I went to look for him, I discovered a tomb underneath..."

Qin Wushuang relaxed completely. As he listened, he felt sleepy again. His eyelids were drooping. He spoke incoherently, "Then, what happened next? What's in the catacombs?"

"There are countless skeletons, some from our country and some from other countries. Some of the clothes are so weathered that it's hard to tell which country they belong to."

"I brought the remains back in a lucky bag and handed them over to the National Technical Department for identification and restoration of their appearance. Then, based on their appearance, we found their identities so that they could be buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery."

Su Chen listened to the even breathing in his arms, hugged the person tighter, took a deep breath to suppress those inappropriate reactions, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing and fell asleep.

He slept for more than two hours. When Qin Wushuang opened his eyes, the person next to him was still asleep. He slowly sat up and looked at him intently, his fingertips sliding across his cheek.

He murmured softly, "I've lost a lot of weight, and I'm a little darker. My skin isn't as good as it used to be. Well, I need to take good care of myself."

Her eyes fell on his strong chest muscles. She reached out and touched them. Seeing that he was not awake, she became bolder and pinched them a little harder to play with them.

Without noticing that Su Chen's eyelashes trembled, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the shoulder strap slipping off. The person who was pinching it with interest, the impact of this scene was too great.

My body tensed up instantly, and I couldn't even flex my muscles.
