"Okay, I understand. Luo Qian and I will head back now."

Song Zijian said dejectedly, then hung up the phone.

"What's wrong, Team Leader? Why is the Captain so angry?"

As soon as Song Zijian hung up, Luo Qian came over to ask.

Song Zijian spread his hands. "How would I know what's gotten into him? Forget it. If he wants us to go back, we'll go back. Brother Chen, where do you live? We'll take you home first."

"Alright, I'll trouble you then."

Chen Xiao nodded.

The three of them drove towards Jiang City under the cover of night.

At the same time, in a distant realm.

An old man with white hair and a youthful face sat upright on a prayer mat. Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, a look of anger appearing on his face.

"Who is so bold as to kill this old man's Fire Spirit Rat?"

As he spoke, the old man picked up the sound transmission jade talisman beside him and recited, "Miao Qing, I have something for you to do. Come here."

A moment later, the door opened, and a young man with a face like jade and a long beard walked in. He cupped his fist in a salute to the old man and said, "Master, you called me!"

The old man nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Miao Qing, the Fire Spirit Rat that I sent to Bahu Pass Village to cultivate the medicinal field has been killed. Go to the secular world as soon as possible to deal with this matter, lest the medicinal field be destroyed!"

"Yes, Master, Miao Qing will set off immediately!"

The man called Miao Qing cupped his fist again in salute, and then retreated.

…

After returning to the city and saying goodbye to Song Zijian and Luo Qian, Chen Xiao returned to Bahu Pass Village.

That field of Manzhushahua flowers was a rare treasure. Although Chen Xiao had no use for them for the time being, they might come in handy in the future.

Most importantly, there was such a large space in his Yin-Yang Jade. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't put something in it!

There was a small trick to picking Manzhushahua flowers: they had to be uprooted, rather than just picking the flowers. If only the flowers were picked, they would turn to ashes as before.

Chen Xiao worked for a long time before he finished picking the entire field of flowers.

He clapped his hands and showed a satisfied smile: "Finally done, all done!"

The reason why Chen Xiao went back was that he didn't want Song Zijian and Luo Qian to know.

Although he didn't know much about the Evil Exorcism Division, since it was a public organization, Song Zijian and Luo Qian would definitely not watch him take these things for himself.

That's why Chen Xiao went to the trouble of making this trip.

And less than half an hour after Chen Xiao returned to Jiang City, Song Zijian and Luo Qian brought a large number of staff to the underground of Bahu Pass Village again.

When they saw that everything in front of them had been swept away, and not even a single branch or leaf was left, they looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do.

When Chen Xiao returned home, Liu Zhen had woken up and was in much better spirits.

Everyone was eating, and there were many people in the villa now, so it was very lively.

Seeing so many people at home, Liu Zhen was also happy.

A few more people were just a few more pairs of chopsticks, but this kind of liveliness could not be exchanged for those few pairs of chopsticks.

After dinner, Liu Zhen beckoned to Chen Xiao: "Son, come with Mom, Mom has something to tell you."

Liu Zhen took Chen Xiao to her bedroom, she took Chen Xiao's hand and looked at him with a kind face.

"Mom, what's wrong with you…"

Chen Xiao asked, feeling a little strange about this rare moment of tenderness.

"Son, Mom has seen a lot of things these days…"

Liu Zhen's opening remarks made Chen Xiao feel a little baffled.

Chen Xiao asked, "Mom, what did you see?"

Liu Zhen shook her head and murmured, "I didn't see clearly, and even if I did, I don't remember now. I only know one thing, they are very terrifying, very scary, and very dangerous."

Chen Xiao understood, after all, what Liu Zhen saw was only seen by a part of the soul, just like in a dream, even if it was particularly clear at the time, she would not be able to remember it afterwards.

Chen Xiao squeezed his mother's hand and promised, "Mom, don't worry, I promise I will never let you encounter any danger again in the future. I was the one who implicated you in the previous incident."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao's face was full of guilt.

Liu Zhen shook her head and touched Chen Xiao's hair with pity, just like when Chen Xiao was a child.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? Mom is just an old bone, and it's not a pity even if I die. I'm worried about you. Mom may not understand what you're doing now, but you have to promise Mom that you must pay attention to your own safety!"

Chen Xiao nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Mom, I promise you!"

"Well, there's one more thing…"

Liu Zhen said, "That child Ziqing, why hasn't she come back for so long? Did you two have a fight?"

Chen Xiao quickly shook his head: "No, she's just too busy. She's been on a business trip recently and will be back in a while."

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing talked on the phone every day, no different from ordinary couples in love.

Chen Xiao was now a little regretful that he had handed over those industries to Li Ziqing, because she was originally a workaholic, and now that she had more resources at hand, she was even busier.

But fortunately, Li Ziqing liked and even enjoyed this kind of life, so Chen Xiao had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

Hearing this, Liu Zhen was relieved, but she still urged, "When she comes back next time, you two should discuss the wedding and meet each other's parents when you have time."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's face was full of embarrassment: "Mom, isn't this too early…"

"You're not in a hurry, but I am!"

Liu Zhen rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "And you always bring big girls and young wives home, Ziqing will be worried if she knows."

"Mom, what are you talking about? The people I brought back are all my friends."

Chen Xiao was very speechless.

"Oh… so you mean, there are some you haven't brought back?"

Liu Zhen suddenly became vigilant.

"No, no, Mom, don't think too much about it. You've just recovered, so you still need to rest more!"

Chen Xiao quickly made an excuse to slip away. If his mother continued to ask, she would find out sooner or later.

But what his mother said reminded Chen Xiao of Wu Feier. Wu Feier's mother's illness had not been cured yet, so he had to take some time to treat her these days.

After all, the relationship was no longer ordinary.

In addition, Chen Xiao also wanted to set up a formation at home. He had already conceived the general structure of the formation, and now he only lacked the spiritual energy and spirit stones to set up the formation.

It was easy to find spirit stones, just go to the jade market a few times.

But spiritual artifacts were hard to come by.

But now he was at least the top dog of Jiangbei, and he didn't need to do everything himself. Thinking of this, he called Qi Tianhu.
