### 701: The Great Master Hides in Plain Sight

erson handle it."Who is this" I blurted out, surprised that Jiang Qiyun could even remember the phone number."Let the Shen family people handle this themselves.""...You actually remember this person's...Tilan scratched his head and walked back to the dinner table.

My brother asked, "What's up Are you that type of person who comes here to ship things out, all sneaky and secretive"

“I don’t know, as soon as I asked him a question, he ran away. He was a tall and thin middle-aged man.” Tánláng replied.

“Don't worry about it, they'll come around eventually. Lately, there have been so many people coming to the house with their shipments, each holding their 'treasure'. In my opinion, they're not worth much at all.” My brother scoffed: “Our family is now burdened by its reputation, no wonder Grandfather keeps such a low profile; it's just to avoid the commotion.”

"You can realize that fame and fortune are burdensome now, come cultivate the Tao with me," I asked with a smile.

"It's alright, I still prefer to be more independent. You're pregnant now and eating so plain, I'm worried you won't get enough nutrients... Your brother-in-law doesn't understand these things either, it's better if you come back for dinner every day." My brother said while filling my bowl with soup.

Not long after dinner, Old Chen and Dabao came back to report to my brother about the autumn auction preparations. I sat in the shop drinking tea and saw a lengthened limousine stop at my doorstep. Lin Yanqin had just gotten out of the car when Old Chen shouted outside, "The young mistress is back!"

The bodyguard standing next to Lin Yanqin twitched the corner of his mouth. Lin Yanqin smiled and "reprimanded" Old Chen: "Every time you see me come back, you deliberately shout like that. Do you need to be so vengeful Our family's bodyguard just pushed you once!"

Originally, Old Chen was intentionally reminding those bodyguards that Lin Yanqin was their family's young mistress and returning to her own home. Those bodyguards shouldn't be so clueless as to follow inside.

I steal a glance at Lin Yanqin's body. She is tall and slender, not too fat or thin, just right. Her bearing is graceful. I see that her clothes are looser, so she hides her belly better.

Lin Yanqin saw me and rushed over, whispering, "Xiao Qiao, you guys..."

What

The sound is too low, I can't hear it.

Lin Yanqin pulled my hand and said, "Let's go upstairs and talk. Is your room convenient"

Of course, I'm staying outside my room right now. It's almost like a game room abandoned by the ghosts of its former occupants - full of toys everywhere.

We went up to the third floor. Lin Yanqin closed the door to my room and moved the big ocean doll back from the computer chair. She asked, “Xiao Qiao, when you and your husband were pregnant for the first time, did you guys… have that”

"Which one" I said helplessly. "Just be straight with me, don't beat around the bush like this. My brother talks to me without any filter, I'm used to it."

"Well... it's just being intimate..." Lin Yanqin blushed.

...

This issue, my Lord Emperor at home doesn't have so many concerns, he just does whatever he wants.

But I am not like other children, my experience cannot be used as a reference.

“I think Yunfan is being too careful. He even says not to tease him when I just kiss him. How could I be teasing him…” Lin Yanqin said with a smile and tears in her eyes: “He said that this pregnancy was my whim, and he didn't take good care of me, so he's afraid it won't be stable and wants me to be careful going up and down the stairs.”

"Well, my brother is a doctor after all, he pays more attention to his health than the average person. Just listen to him. I heard that the first three months are when you need to be extra careful." I said.

Lin Yanqin pouted不滿地: “But I see you’re lively and well… Have you and your husband… done it”

"...This is an awkward question. Our program is different from ordinary people, so it can't be used as a reference."

Lin Yanqin pouted, the temper of a young lady flaring up: "But I just wanted to get closer! He was so scary, he said if I came any closer he'd sleep on the couch."

Pffff…

"Hahaha..." I laughed until I fell onto my pillow, imagining my brother saying that with a menacing tone, combined with Lin Yanqin's current pitiful expression, the picture was too vivid.

"Yanqin, you should still listen to my brother. You're not like me. Don't run around like I do. A young lady should behave like a young lady. Just stay at home and rest. If you need anything, just tell someone else to do it." I advised her.

Lin Yanqin, looking wronged, pulled out her phone and said: "I've been very well-behaved. I stay at home all day now, only being able to look at my phone. Even the wedding preparations are communicated through my phone..."

She opened the news while speaking.

Lin Yanqin had always been interested in paranormal events. Now, she had learned her lesson and dared not go around looking for haunted places anymore. But that didn't mean she couldn't read ghost stories or watch supernatural news.

She was talking to me when she suddenly saw a news article, let out a soft "huh" and stared wide-eyed at her phone.

I've been through thick and thin, so I'm kind of numb to all sorts of unexpected events. Leaning back on my pillow languidly, I asked, "What ghost story did you see this time... "

Lin Yanqin held up her phone. The screen displayed a pixelated corpse.

"Xiao Qiao, this man isn't... buried How was he dug up..." Fear flashed in her eyes.

What

I was stunned for a moment, then got up and took the phone from her hand.

The body on the screen was grotesquely distorted, severely decayed, and many areas were pixelated.

But from the tattered clothes, this person was... Changning!

What's going on

At this time, Jiang Qiyun was still in the Heavenly Palace of the Underworld King. I didn't want to disturb him, so I used a spell to summon our local Land God.

The Land God appeared in my house. Lin Yanqin immediately felt a chill, and I quickly escorted her out of the room and told her to call my brother up.

"How was Chang Ning dealt with that day" I asked.

The Land God leaned towards me and said, "Little Lady, after the Jade Emperor took you away, that man named Changning had all his internal organs destroyed. Furthermore, he suffered from a severe outbreak of poison, with venomous insects devouring him. Lord Bai Wu Chang then seized his soul and sent it to the underworld."

"Where's the body What happened to it" I pressed.

Land God tilted his head and said, "According to common sense, corpses belong to the mortal world and are not under our jurisdiction. But Lord Bai Wu Chang said that the area nearby is near the school of Little Goddess, so we can't leave it there. So I had the Yin soldiers find a secluded mountain valley and bury it according to human customs. For some reason, it reappeared! Even I don't understand..."

This… I frowned.

Chang Ning's seven souls were never complete, and now her life force has been taken. Bai Wu Chang couldn't have made a mistake. Xie Chang An was thrown to Xu Wei Mountain, so he couldn't possibly be causing harm, nor could it be Chang Ning herself climbing out of the grave.

Recalling the suspicious person lurking at my shop's entrance just now, a sense of unease crept over me.

"Xiao Qiao!" My brother rushed up, clutching his phone. He frowned and asked, "What the heck is this How did Jian appear on our school's gossip forum"

Huhs always been very attentive to my brother, often flying over from the imperial capital, and even wanted to live in our house. My brother refused, so she bought a villa here herself. It seems like she...
