After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 858

The group stood there staring at the tombstone for two hours before returning to their rooms to wash and change as the rain subsided.

Unlike yesterday's bustling Tengwang Pavilion, today it appears exceptionally desolate.

Notices had already been posted on the door, and there were even some powerful families outside who were still hoping to make connections.

Only after learning that the Beijing branch was really going to close did they reluctantly leave.

When are you planning to leave?

An Jiuxi slowly approached Wen Chuyun's side, followed his gaze to the tombstone in the back garden, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"We'll go tonight. I've entrusted all of Tengwang Pavilion's businesses in various places to people I trust. As for the desert... I haven't opened any branches there, but as long as you remember the incantation I gave you, you can use whatever you want in the main warehouse. Anyway, what we sell are just antiques that the demon beasts use to pay off debts."

Wen Chuyun spoke these words with remarkable ease, as if she had only made a small decision.

An Jiuxi knew this clearly.

Even with its renowned reputation, it must have taken considerable effort to secure such a large location in the capital, a place teeming with powerful families.

Closing down a store so easily these days will likely have a negative impact on other shops.

"Why are you looking at your senior brother so worriedly? Don't worry, as long as Tengwang Pavilion still has one store, its influence will not be affected. Your senior brother can support all of you."

Wen Chuyun handed An Jiuxi a cup of warm wine. Looking at the fallen leaves outside and the chill in the air, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that we can't make dumplings and have New Year's Eve dinner together this year."

An Jiuxi looked down at the wine in her hand, which was rippled with moisture, her eyes red.

"It's alright, I'll use a teleportation talisman to send it to you, Third Senior Sister, and Fifth Senior Brother. It'll definitely be hot and delicious."

Wen Chuyun turned her head and looked at the little girl who had her head down. She reached out and patted her head as she did when she was a child. "I never realized how fast time flies before. Now that you have a fiancé, you'll probably get married in a few years."

"At that time, I might even be able to help you take care of your child."

After a pause, Wen Chuyun seemed to remember something, and a shadow of sadness crossed her eyes.

Then he forced a smile, his expression as gentle as ever.

"Xiao Liu, we all hope you can be happy."

An Jiuxi is the sixth child in her family.

Now that the long-lost voice of "Little Six" reached her ears, An Jiuxi bit her lip hard to keep herself from sobbing.

do not know why.

She always felt that this separation meant she would never see her senior brother again.

"Senior brother, promise me you'll live a long and healthy life to take care of my child."

An Jiuxi suddenly raised her head, gripping Wen Chuyun's sleeve tightly, stubbornly trying to get him to agree.

Because she knew that as long as her senior brother agreed...

I will absolutely not break my promise!

Wen Chuyun met her eyes, imprinted her gaze into his heart, and smiled as he ruffled her hair.

"Then you'd better hurry up."

The lack of a direct answer caused An Jiuxi a pang of heartache.

Even though she realized something at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to ask any questions.

not far away.

Jin Yize stood side by side with Yun Qingyu, watching their conversation, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Qingyu opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

"I have an appointment with Shi Yu, so I'll be leaving now."
