Gong Leitian suddenly felt a chill down his back but couldn’t figure out why.
Jiang Nuo had no idea what was going through Mu Qiuniang’s mind. When he heard her say, "You are my husband," his heart felt sweet and warm.
It felt like his wife truly loved him the most!
"Wife, you’re so good to !" He smiled, his face beaming with joy.
Mu Qiuniang didn’t quite understand how he reached this conclusion again, but she nodded honestly. She felt she was indeed very good to him, more patient than she had ever been, even with her Master!
As Mu Qiuniang had ntioned, there were indeed a lot of valuable things hidden in that cave. Just the ’Luck Robbery Array Formation’ alone was enough for Gong Leitian’s subordinates to study for a long ti.
Not to ntion, the protective tools Mu Qiuniang prepared for Jiang Nuo, which were taken by the n in black. Having no place to store them, they put everything into a wooden box and secretly hid it behind a giant rock.
Gong Leitian and the others really exerted so effort to find that wooden box.
Besides Jiang Nuo’s items, the n in black carried so handy tools and secret collections for their mission this ti.
Although Mu Qiuniang dealt with them that day, she didn’t seize the items. She threw them into a corner, as carelessly as if they were just scrap tal.
"Minister, your information was really spot-on. There really is treasure here, we’ve hit the jackpot..."
"Exactly, Minister! Next ti there’s a good opportunity like this, make sure to inform us!"
"Minister, how are Xiao Ning, Qing Daojun, Old Nine, and Old Seven? I heard they got injured during this mission."
"They weren’t the only ones injured. The Minister got hurt too. Didn’t you see the Minister sitting there all day without moving much?"
"Oh, I thought the Minister was contemplating so major decision."
"Nonsense! You think the Minister is a national leader, busy all day?"
...
In the departnt, besides Old Nine being the most exuberant, it was this lively Si Si in front of Gong Leitian, who was a fan of Qing dynasty dramas. He once wanted to take the nickna "Fourth Prince," but his partner criticized him for it, so he settled for "Si Si" instead.
Compared to Old Nine, who was particularly good at defense, Si Si was a sharp fellow who could detect any clue, with a nose keener than a police dog.
So, whenever sothing needed to be found in the departnt, he was sent.
Seeing they had mostly found everything, Gong Leitian said, "You guys carry on, I have sothing else to do," and left them to it.
It didn’t matter to him what they said after he left. No matter how lively they were, as long as they did their work properly, he would turn a blind eye to the rest.
This ti, if it weren’t for the Immortal Sword Light Tiger given to him by his senior uncle, and a pack of ergency-use spiritual plant seeds, he, Qing Daojun, and Xiao Ning would have been in real danger.
Particularly when he dealt with the Evil Path but couldn’t find Jiang Nuo, he panicked like never before. He had no idea what his senior uncle would think if sothing happened to the grandmaster in his hands.
Revenge wasn’t likely, but it’s entirely possible his senior uncle wouldn’t want to see him again.
Perhaps, his senior uncle didn’t have breathtaking looks, but her cool deanor, like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens, left a lasting impression.
She seed indifferent, but her clear eyes saw through everything. She just didn’t bother with matters that didn’t concern her.
Probably, only the grandmaster could make his senior uncle go through so much effort to pave the way for him?
If not for the grandmaster, with his senior uncle’s lazy nature, she would have stayed in seclusion for decades without showing up, and for centuries now, she hardly appeared in the master, or in the entire Cultivation World, keeping such a low profile.
Yet now, she was either supporting the Mu family or accepting disciples to connect with others, even taking in disciples from Hidden Immortal Sect, all for Jiang Nuo’s sake?
With the identity of a ’Great Aunt and Great Uncle of the Mu family’, even if his senior uncle ascended alone in the future, the Mu family wouldn’t ignore Jiang Nuo; her disciples wouldn’t abandon the grandmaster’s affairs; the disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect, who received her grace, would repay the kindness to Jiang Nuo if they couldn’t repay her.
In this way, no matter how far Jiang Nuo goes on the path of cultivation, as long as he’s in this world, with so connections backing him, he can be completely "free of worry" and "enjoy a peaceful life."
Jiang Nuo is indeed very fortunate!
Gong Leitian sighed in his heart. To be so lucky to et soone like his senior uncle, soone who gives all her sincerity!
Unfortunately, he appeared too late, otherwise...
Gong Leitian suddenly braked hard, parking the car by the roadside, lit a cigarette, and suppressed a certain thought fiercely.
As for his senior uncle’s actions, he had to pay attention. Thus, knowing full well that his senior uncle was married, he was aware that soone was planning to pursue her.
He only wanted to say: this person is doing sothing very foolish!
And he would never allow himself to make the sa foolish mistake as that man. Who was his senior uncle? She had lived for hundreds of years and seen every type of man. If she would fall for soone easily, she would have done so long ago, not waited until today.
Therefore, once her heart was moved, it was impossible for anyone else to co between them.
He would definitely not do sothing so foolish! Such a stupid move would only push his senior uncle further away, to the point where she wouldn’t even et him anymore.
Moreover, his identity didn’t allow him to make even the slightest mistake. If he did, there was no way he could get this close to her again.
Actually, being like this wasn’t so bad. His senior uncle was eventually going to leave this world. Being able to leave a mark in her life/mory was already his good fortune.
After finishing the cigarette, Gong Leitian’s mood cald down, becoming once again the mature, reliable, and resourceful minister of the special departnt, showing no flaws.
With a press of the accelerator, the car continued forward.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the Mu family’s old residence, the all-purpose butler Mu Mingyu was already waiting there. He elegantly smiled at him, "Minister Gong, the Great Aunt is already inside waiting, please follow !"
"How is my senior uncle’s mood today?"
"Great Aunt’s mood is always the sa, besides a few people she cares about, others have no place in her eyes, so how could they cause any emotional changes?"
"Oh? I wonder who are the few people fortunate enough to be soone my senior uncle needs to care about?"
"That, depends on each person’s ability. After all, the human heart is only so big, and there are many wanting a place, who can say clearly."
"Indeed! As they say ’those close to the water get the moon first’, Mr. Mu has been serving by his senior uncle’s side recently, let congratulate you, Mr. Butler."
"Minister Gong, you are too modest. Now you are the highly respected disciple of the Great Aunt, even the Great Uncle has to follow you to ’learn’. There’s no one who can match that."
One was abstinent, the other was elegant. Both were tall and slender figures. They walked side by side towards a certain courtyard deep inside the old residence. In harmony, yet beneath the surface, a ga of bloodless intrigue and strategies was at play.
