After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Sister Zhou, I’m Sorry!
Chen Tuo, who was behind them, saw them stop and curiously leaned forward to take a look. As soon as he saw their attire, he burst into laughter.

He saw the father and daughter dressed in bright red clothes, extremely festive. There was a large bowl printed on the front of their clothes. Qin Lie was good-looking; thus, he could fit in any outfit without looking out of place. In fact, he looked even more gentle than usual.

As for Zhouzhou, she was incredibly adorable. She had a large golden pixiu hanging from her waist and a small red hat on her head with two little pom-poms hanging down the side of her face, making her chubby cheeks even plumper.

He stared at the three words “Rice Eater” on their backs and couldn’t stop laughing. He leaned over and asked jokingly, “Little Baldy, why are you dressed so festively? Are you going to eat rice again? Do you need a bucket?”

Zhouzhou glared at him and clenched her chubby fists. “Stinky Little Brother, you’re asking for a beating again!”

As she spoke, she flicked her finger, capturing a strand of malicious energy and flicking it at him.

Chen Tuo’s face immediately changed, and he crouched down, clutching his head in pain and crying out.

He didn’t know what was happening, but he instinctively felt that it was Zhouzhou’s doing. He quickly said, “Little Bald..no, Sister Zhou! I’m sorry!”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou raised her hand and tossed away the Exorcism Talisman, and the pain on Chen Tuo’s body instantly disappeared.

Chen Tuo stood up, looking at her in astonishment, and couldn’t help but puff up his face and say, “Sister Zhou, I’m calling you sister now. Can you give me another talisman?”

How miraculous.

Zhouzhou shrugged, “One talisman is worth a hundred thousand, but I’ll give it to you for a family discount of one million.”

Chen Tuo: “…”

Now even the family discount made his wallet tremble.

But unable to resist his curiosity, he still gave her the money.

He was efficient, and so was Zhouzhou. She gave him an Exorcism Talisman and then stared at his face, furrowing her brows slightly. She then took out another Peace Talisman for him. “Consider this as a gift for you. Remember to carry it with you.”

“Ah?” This little money lover could be so generous?

Chen Tuo looked at the two talismans in his hand, unable to see any difference. Ye Lingfeng, who was next to him, glanced at Zhouzhou with a pensive look.

“Let’s go,” Qin Lie spoke up.

“Mhmm.”

“Sister Zhou, you haven’t told me yet, where are you going?”

Before Zhouzhou could answer, a bright smile bloomed on her face. “I’m going to register! Oh, by the way, I have a new name now. It’s Qin Caicai. It means getting rich. How about that? It sounds nice, right? My dad picked it!”

She was like a child who had just received a precious treasure, showing off to everyone she met.

“I see.” Chen Tuo nodded.

Zhouzhou looked at the time and exclaimed, “Oh no!” She quickly said, “Stinky Little Brother, we are leaving. We’ll talk later. Today is a big day for me and my dad. We can’t miss the auspicious timing.”

She had planned everything.

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled Qin Lie towards the car.

Watching the father and daughter’s departing figures, Chen Tuo couldn’t help but sigh, “Their father-daughter relationship is really good.”

Ye Lingfeng remained noncommittal and said in a low voice, “Let’s go.”

“Mhmm.” Chen Tuo opened the car door for him and couldn’t help but complain, “I don’t know what tricks that old lady from the Ye family is playing again. Why did she suddenly go crazy and start banging her head against the wall in the middle of the night? Isn’t she sick? Boss, could this be another one of her schemes to frame you?”

Ye Lingfeng sat by the window, looking in the direction where Qin Lie and Zhouzhou had left, feeling inexplicably annoyed and flustered. Upon hearing this, he finally snapped back to reality and lightly tapped his thigh with his fingertip. He casually said, “We’ll know once we take a look.”

“True.” Chen Tuo didn’t say anything more and drove to the old Ye residence.

Ye Lingfeng looked at the place, his expression calm and indifferent, and walked in without any emotions on his face.

As soon as they entered, they smelled a scent of sandalwood. Then a person wearing Taoist robes came out. His forehead was narrow, and he seemed a bit narrow-minded.

Ye Lingfeng’s gaze fell on him, and he recognized him. It was Cen Zhiyuan, the deputy director of the Ninth Bureau.

The Ninth Bureau was a department that dealt with special events and rarely made appearances. He didn’t expect that the Ye family could actually invite him.

He recognized Ye Lingfeng, but Cen Zhiyuan didn’t recognize him. He only stared at his face for a while and couldn’t help but say, “You’re actually a ‘Heavenly Danger’ destiny.”

A person with a ‘Heaven Danger’ destiny would either hold a high position and bring benefits to the region, or they would cause endless trouble and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years. Even if they were to hold a high position in the future, such a destiny was destined to bring multiple disasters and hardships, and most wouldn’t live long.

Ye Changming came out of the room and heard these words. Disgust flashed undisguised in his eyes. Since Ye Lingfeng was born, someone had already predicted that he would bring disaster to the Ye family in the future. That was why Ye Changming had always disliked him.

Without even looking at him, Ye Changming turned to Cen Zhiyuan and asked, “Taoist, is my wife alright now?”

“Yes, someone put a Nightmare Talisman on her, which caused Madam Ye to have continuous nightmares, emotional instability, and even difficulty distinguishing between reality and dreams.”

As he spoke, his brows furrowed, “Only the treacherous criminals of the Mystery Sect would use such malicious methods. Once I find that person, I must eradicate them from the Mystery Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Tuo and Ye Lingfeng exchanged glances.

Although they didn’t know who the kind-hearted person was that stood up for them and taught that old lady a lesson, there was only one person they knew who had knowledge of the occult, and that was Zhouzhou. And Zhouzhou still owed them a favor. Could it really be her doing?

If that was the case, then… it would be great!

He had to give her another two million.

Just as they were speaking, Cen Zhiyuan’s brows suddenly furrowed, and he turned his head abruptly to look at Ye Lingfeng and Chen Tuo. “Why do you have the same aura as that person? The Nightmare Talisman on Madam Ye came from the same person.”

After he finished speaking, Du Wan walked out, supporting herself against the doorframe. Her face was pale, and she painfully exclaimed, “I knew it! You’re just an ungrateful wolf! I didn’t hold it against you for cursing Lingran before, but I never expected that you would dare to harm me. Next, are you planning to harm your own father?!”

Hearing this, Ye Changming’s face turned completely cold, and he angrily said, “Get out! From now on, you’re not allowed to set foot in the Ye family again!”

A faint smile curved on Ye Lingfeng’s lips as he mockingly looked at him, “You think I’m eager to come? But, when you’re eventually driven to death by anger, don’t say that I caused it. After all, as an unfilial son like me, even if I anger you, you won’t care much. It might not be the same for another son.”

As he spoke, his gaze swept past Du Wan.

Noticing his gaze, Du Wan’s right eyelid twitched. Did he find out something?

Before she could figure it out, Ye Lingfeng turned and left, leaving her in a state of turmoil.

She was afraid that tonight, even if there were no Nightmare Talismans, she wouldn’t be able to sleep well.

“What did he mean just now?” Ye Changming asked in confusion.

Du Wan pulled at the corners of her mouth and said, “I don’t know either. Maybe he feels that we’re biased.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed in Ye Changming’s eyes. “Hmph, I wanted to treat everyone equally. He should come up with something himself. How can he compare to Lingran?”

Upon hearing this, Du Wan’s heart settled. Yes, everything in the Ye family originally belonged to Lingran. She was just getting their things a little earlier. It wasn’t a big deal.

After leaving, Ye Lingfeng instructed Chen Tuo, “Remind Zhouzhou to be careful of Cen Zhiyuan.”

Currently, Tang Qing, the director of the Ninth Bureau, had recently had an accident and was still unconscious. If anything were to happen to him, Cen Zhiyuan would be the first candidate to take over as the director.

This person was still somewhat capable.

Chen Tuo nodded and immediately sent a message to Qin Lie.

By the time Qin Lie saw the message, he had already finished the household registration process and was walking out. Zhouzhou was happily looking at the red booklet in her hand, pointing to the words on it and reading them one by one, “Qin Caicai.”

She had a happy expression on her face and was about to talk to Qin Lie when suddenly, a peach wood sword appeared in front of her, pointing at her dantian position.

Qin Lie quickly pulled Zhouzhou behind him and his gaze turned cold. “What are you doing?”
