Miler, who has a system for giving up

Once everyone had calmed down, I asked curiously, "Lolo, Yimeng, what were you talking about just now?"

Yan Luo replied with a grin, "Yi Meng and I were discussing our exam results! We never expected that, with your careful guidance, we both passed smoothly. We were also worried that you might be nervous since it was your first time taking the exam, which would affect your performance. So we were discussing asking you if you passed when you came back, and if you didn't, we wouldn't celebrate until you passed. But now it seems that problem is no longer a concern!"

At this moment, Qin Yimeng suddenly clapped her hands and said excitedly, "That's right, I've got a great idea! Didn't we say we were going to take Sister Lele to choose a house? Why don't we all go with her to pick one out? That way, we won't have to worry about the distance and everyone will be crowded together!"

Ye Dongjun excitedly interjected, "Hey, that's pretty much what Feng and I were talking about. This way, it's easier to protect everyone, and it's also easier to get support if anything happens."

Sikong Feng then added, "Yes, you can give that villa to your parents, and then we can get another one. We can still live together."

Han Heng nodded in agreement.

Looking at them, I felt somewhat helpless, but I still briefly explained my current identity and family situation.

After thinking for a moment, Sikong Feng exchanged a glance with Han Heng, then said to me seriously, "Xiao Lele, don't worry, leave this to me. I'll take care of it for you. I guarantee your family won't investigate the source of the house, nor will they interfere with your work."

I know Sikong Feng's abilities very well. Since he said it was no problem, I naturally believe he can do it.

So I replied with a smile, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you! But I have some news to tell you. I've researched some pill formulas, and I'll refine them after I finish these things."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Alright! Haha, looking forward to your new pills!"

Han Heng laughed along, seemingly eager to try my new creation.

I smiled slightly, thinking how wonderful it is to have these four friends, and I hope we can always maintain this precious friendship.

So everyone decided where to go tomorrow, and decided to have a nice meal at home tonight and have more fun tomorrow.

However, this also made them feel a little regretful, since they couldn't start enjoying the trip right away. But thinking about the wonderful time that awaited them tomorrow, they were filled with anticipation. So, they decided to get a good rest tonight and prepare for tomorrow's exciting journey.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Han Heng's phone also rang. Han Heng was closest to the door, so he checked his phone while walking over to open it. After Han Heng hung up, the phone stopped ringing.

"Who would come looking for Brother Heng so late?" Qin Yimeng asked Ye Dongjun curiously.

Ye Dongjun shook his head and looked at Sikong Feng, "Second brother, do you know? Did you see the name on the caller ID just now?"

Sikong Feng turned and went back to the living room. "Sit here and you'll find out soon enough. It should be related to Xiao Lele. Heng looks very concerned."

"Could it be that the investigation into the previous assassination attempt has yielded results?" Yan Luo guessed.

"It's also possible that things at his company came to a conclusion a few days ago," I said uncertainly.

Because there's a foyer blocking the view, we can't see what's happening at the door. We can only find out who's there after the person outside comes in.

My heart pounded with anxiety as I thought, "Could there really be new developments in the previous assassination attempt?"

My heart tightened involuntarily, and my hands unconsciously clenched the hem of my clothes. Watching Zhou Yu and Han Heng walk in, I felt my heart race. Their serious expressions made me realize that things might be very serious.

Zhou Yu walked to a stool and sat down, saying in a low voice, "Are you all mentally prepared?" My heart sank. I looked at the others, took a deep breath, and nodded.

Seeing that we all nodded, Zhou Yu took a document out of his backpack and placed it on the table.

"This is the detailed investigation report on your assassination attempt last time, and it also includes the report on the company being targeted a few days ago, Mr. Han."

The report contained many photos and labeled papers, indicating that it was a joint effort by the six smaller families that were rivals of the five major families.

He also verified and noted down the information his informants gave him:

They all made the decision after suddenly waking up from a dream, when the members of the six families gathered together.

As for targeting only Mr. Han's company, it seems they discovered you two are in a romantic relationship and did this intentionally.

Apart from Mr. Han's personal company, none of the five major families have been attacked or damaged so far. This seems to be a message to Mr. Han to stay away from Miss Miler, or they'll end up like his personal company.

"It's good that you're alright this time, and President Han has already instructed the five major families to strengthen their defenses, but you must be careful in the future." Zhou Yu looked at me, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"I will, thank you, Zhou Yu," I said with a smile.

"No need to thank me, thank President Han instead. I'm just doing my job for the money. Oh, right, there's one more thing." Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, "Someone wants to see you."

I was taken aback. "Who?...Why do you want to see me?"

"Old Xu wants to see you. He's a close friend of President Han, despite the age difference. I don't know the specific reason, but he seems very anxious," Zhou Yu said.

I pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll consider it."

After seeing Zhou Yu off, Han Heng came back and sat down next to me, gently patting my back, as if to tell me not to be afraid, that he was there for me.

"When our family was in trouble, Elder Xu helped us a lot. Moreover, Elder Xu's cultivation was unfathomable, so most people in our family respected her."

Han Heng explained the origins of Master Xu to me, and after listening, even more questions arose.

"I don't know if I should see her, and I don't know what she wants to do with me..." I muttered to myself.

After hearing my muttering, Yan Luo comforted me, "Little Lele, don't worry. When I was little, I often went to Elder Xu's place to have tea and chat with her. She's a very nice person."

"Yes, yes, Master Xu is so gentle. When I was a child, I would go to Master Xu for protection when I was punished by my family for doing something wrong," Han Heng chimed in.

Looking at the two of them, I felt a little more relaxed, but I was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, I still felt a little nervous and uneasy facing such a mysterious and powerful figure.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. A young man walked in, bowed to us, and said, "Young Master Han, Elder Xu has arrived and requests your presence."

Han Heng gripped my hand tightly. I took a deep breath and stood up with Han Heng, ready to follow him to meet Elder Xu.

Yan Luo, Sikong Feng, Ye Dongjun, and Qin Yimeng also got up and followed behind me.

As I walked, I became increasingly nervous, and my palms became sweaty.

Han Heng seemed to sense my unease, and he tightened his grip on my hand. His warm palm eased my unease a little.

Soon, we were led to the door of a spacious and bright room.

The young man gently pushed open the door and gestured for us to come in.

I stepped into the room and immediately saw Elder Xu sitting in the main seat.

She wore a white robe, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, her face kind, and her eyes deep and gentle.

Old Xu smiled at me and said softly, "You must be Miler? Come and sit down." As she spoke, she patted the seat next to her.

I hesitated for a moment, but eventually I walked over and sat down next to Elder Xu.

Yan Luo, Han Heng, Sikong Feng, Ye Dongjun, and Qin Yimeng stood aside, quietly watching us.

After I sat down, Master Xu spoke up, "Don't just stand there like idiots. We didn't punish you for standing. Come and sit down."

Old Xu looked me over carefully, then nodded and said, "Not bad, you look a lot like your grandmother."

A thought struck me, and I couldn't help but ask, "Do you know my grandmother?"

Old Xu smiled and said, "Of course I know her. Your grandmother and I were sworn sisters back then. But we lost contact later because of some things. I never thought I would see her granddaughter here today."

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, I felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.

It turned out that this elderly lady was an old acquaintance of my maternal grandmother, which made me feel even closer to her.

Although I am not from this world, the old man said that we are from different dimensions but have the same body, so her grandmother is also mine.

Even though I've never met them, I still want to have a family.

Master Xu seemed to sense my thoughts. He gently patted my hand, his eyes filled with love and care, and said tenderly, "Child, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me anytime. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

I nodded gratefully, tears welling in my eyes, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Professor Xu. You've been so kind to me; I don't know how to repay you."

Next, Elder Xu inquired about my situation with concern, including my cultivation progress and living conditions. I told her about my experiences in detail, and she listened very attentively, nodding in approval from time to time.

After chatting for a while, the old man roughly learned about my family situation: no one in my family practices cultivation, only I can, and my family doesn't know it.

According to Xu Lao's recollection, my maternal grandmother was also a powerful cultivator when she was alive.

However, when talking about how his mother lacked the qualifications to cultivate immortality, Xu Lao lamented that his maternal grandmother's cultivation methods had not been passed down.

Finally, with a smile, Elder Xu said, "Alright, it's getting late, I should head back now. Miler, remember to come chat with me often when you have time." With that, she stood up and walked out.

I quickly got up to see her off, all the way to the door. Watching her departing figure, my heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.

I secretly resolved to cultivate diligently and live up to Elder Xu's expectations. At the same time, I also needed to take good care of myself so that Elder Xu could rest assured.

Back in my room, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Ye Dongjun chuckled and teased me, saying I was too nervous.

I smiled helplessly, but in my heart I felt that this experience had been very rewarding.

Without those few people leading the conversation, how could this discussion have gone so smoothly?

They cleverly brought up a topic, sparking the interest and participation of Mr. Xu and me, which enlivened the atmosphere.

Inspired by them, we both became cheerful and chatted happily, sharing our stories and thoughts in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Our group returned to Han Heng's villa. After careful consideration, I made an important decision: I had to tell them the truth honestly, and I couldn't let their family fall into trouble because of me; that was an outcome I couldn't accept.

Everyone seemed to sense my seriousness; instead of joking around, they all sat obediently on the sofa, waiting for me to speak.

"Everyone, first of all, I want to say sorry, and of course, I also want to thank you. Secondly, I know the reason for the assassination, but I didn't expect it to implicate you all."

After expressing my apologies and gratitude to them, I explained the reasons and let them make their own choice.

"My master was a celestial being, but his enemies coveted his cultivation techniques. So, he descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, making him difficult for them to find. Once they found him, they couldn't act against him. Therefore, they devised a treacherous plan: to wait for my master's physical body to depart from the mortal realm and his celestial soul to return to the celestial realm, then use his immortal magic to bestow power upon their own people in this world. Then, these people would come to kidnap me, search my soul, obtain the cultivation techniques they desired, and ultimately kill me. However, in my original parallel world, before they could even make a move, my physical body had already perished. Fortunately, my master managed to bring my soul to this parallel world, but unexpectedly, they also found me in this world..."

The expressions on their faces after hearing this were not those of blaming or hating me, but rather of excitement.

I was completely baffled by their reaction and couldn't understand what they meant at all.

Just then, Ye Dongjun exclaimed in amazement, "I knew it! Little Lele must have a master to teach her. I never expected it to be an immortal!" His face was full of surprise and excitement.

Qin Yimeng tilted her head cutely, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, "There really is a fairy realm? Shall we go together sometime?" Her tone was full of anticipation.

Yan Luo nodded repeatedly, echoing, "Yes, let's go together. No one can leave me behind." Her eyes were firm, as if she couldn't wait to embark on the journey to the Immortal Realm.

Sikong Feng, on the other hand, looked as if he had already guessed it. "When I first met you, I felt that you were someone important, but after you joined the company and submitted your file, I didn't understand anymore. But when you created miracles time and time again, I believed in you like I believed in my brother!" His eyes revealed his admiration for me.

Han Heng looked at me with a hint of heartache. "Why didn't you say so sooner? How could those people protect you? I should have discussed it with Elder Xu earlier." His tone carried a hint of reproach, but more than anything, it was concern.

The current situation seems to be different from what I expected.
