Liu Zhenguo was reading documents in his office.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a day for family reunion.
But as the head of the South City branch, he had no time to rest.
The table was piled high with various reports, requests for instructions, and coordination matters.
He rubbed his temples and continued reading.
dong dong dong.
A knock came at the door.
"Enter."
The door opened, and Jin Hao walked in.
Liu Zhenguo raised his head.
"Xiao Hao? It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"
Jin Hao walked to the desk.
"Uncle Liu, there's something I feel I need to report to you."
Seeing his serious expression, Liu Zhenguo put down the documents in his hand.
"What is it? Speak."
Jin Hao organized his thoughts.
"It's like this, I was just chatting with the Taoist brother, and he's planning to carve a statue of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union by hand as an engagement gift for Yin Jian."
Liu Zhenguo was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Then, his expression changed little by little.
"Carved by Master Li himself... the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union?"
Jin Hao nodded.
"right."
Liu Zhenguo remained silent for a few seconds.
He recalled the effects of the things that Master Li had made by hand.
Those peach wood swords.
Those amulets.
The Spring Festival couplets and door gods.
Each one of them is capable of causing a huge sensation.
Now, Master Li is going to personally carve a statue of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union...
Was it given to Yin Jian as an engagement gift?
Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath.
He looked at Jin Hao and said seriously:
"Xiao Hao, I understand about this."
"You did the right thing, you deserve credit."
Jin Hao nodded.
"Uncle Liu, shall I head back now?"
Liu Zhenguo waved his hand.
"Go."
Jin Hao turned and left.
After closing the office door, Liu Zhenguo leaned back in his chair and remained silent for a long while.
Then, he picked up his phone and dialed President Qin's number.
……
Night Watch headquarters.
President Qin sat in his office, listening to Liu Zhenguo's report over the phone.
"Does Master Li intend to personally carve a statue of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union?"
"For Yin Jian?"
"An engagement gift?"
President Qin leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a moment, he spoke.
"Zhenguo, I understand."
"You handled this matter very well."
On the other end of the phone, Liu Zhenguo said, "President Qin, what about this statue..."
President Qin remained silent for a few seconds.
"Observe first."
"Keep everything as usual with Master Li, do not disturb him."
"Once the statue is finished, we'll naturally know how it looks."
"Yes."
The phone hangs up.
President Qin put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and stared at the ceiling.
The Two Immortals of Harmony and Union...
May your marriage be harmonious, your marriage peaceful, and may you grow old together in love...
Carved by Master Li himself...
What effect will it have?
President Qin suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
As he was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.
"Enter."
The door opened.
The secretary walked in.
"President Qin, Senior Xuanming has arrived."
President Qin was taken aback.
Senior Xuanming?
Have you made it out of customs?
He quickly stood up.
"Please come quickly!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone walked in through the door.
He was an old Taoist priest.
He wore a faded blue Taoist robe, and his hair was snow-white, casually tied up with a wooden hairpin.
His face was thin and his eyes were bright.
He exuded an aura of ethereal elegance.
It was none other than Daoist Xuanming.
President Qin quickly went to greet him.
"Senior Xuanming! You've emerged from seclusion!"
Master Xuanming smiled slightly.
"President Qin, I have been in seclusion for many days and have finally made some progress."
President Qin looked him up and down.
He could sense that the aura emanating from Daoist Xuanming was more than one level stronger than before his seclusion.
Refining the void!
Definitely at the Void Refinement Realm!
President Qin was startled.
"Senior, you... have broken through?"
Master Xuanming nodded.
"By sheer luck."
"After many days of seclusion, I have finally entered the Void Refinement stage."
President Qin was overjoyed.
Congratulations, senior! Congratulations!
Master Xuanming waved his hand.
"Mr. Qin, you're too kind."
He paused, then looked at President Qin.
"While I've been in seclusion, a lot must have happened outside?"
President Qin nodded.
"That's quite a lot."
He led Master Xuanming to sit down on the sofa and then recounted in detail what had happened during this period.
From the blood sacrifice in Southeast Asia to the divine manifestation of the golden-armored general.
From relocating graves in Kunlun to Master Li slaying the Cherry Blossom Kingdom with a single sword strike.
One by one, case by case.
As Master Xuanming listened, his expression shifted from initial calm to shock, and finally...
numbness.
Yes, numbness.
When President Qin mentioned that Master Li's sword strike had slashed across four thousand kilometers, expelling the entire Sakura Kingdom from the human race.
Master Xuanming was at a loss for words.
He just sat there, silent for a long time.
He recalled how, after he emerged from seclusion, he was still smug about having entered the Void Refinement stage.
Looking back now...
ridiculous.
it is ridiculous.
What is his meager skill compared to Master Li?
Seeing his expression, President Qin quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, right, senior, there's one more thing."
Master Xuanming raised his head.
"What is it?"
President Qin said, "Lan Cailing's daughter, Lan Nianzhen, and Yin Jian, a good friend of Master Li whom you met in Lu County last time, will be engaged on the 23rd of the first lunar month."
Master Xuanming was taken aback.
Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.
"Are they getting engaged?"
"Okay, okay!"
President Qin added, "The report from the South City says that Master Li has prepared a gift."
"It is a statue of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union that he carved himself."
Master Xuanming's smile froze on his face instantly.
The Two Immortals of Harmony and Union?
Carved by Master Li himself?
He remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth.
"President Qin, I am already looking forward to the trip to Miao territory in a couple of days."
President Qin looked at him.
"Is the Taoist priest going?"
"Of course," said Daoist Xuanming. "What an extraordinary opportunity it is that Daoist Li personally bestowed upon us the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union!"
"Although I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it, it is still a great blessing to witness it with my own eyes."
President Qin nodded.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Senior, do you think... when Master Li finished sculpting that statue of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union, it might cause some disturbance?"
Master Xuanming looked at him.
"What does President Qin mean?"
President Qin remained silent for a few seconds.
"I mean... every time Master Li makes a move, it causes some strange phenomena."
"Peach wood swords, amulets for good fortune, Spring Festival couplets and door gods—aren't they all?"
"Now, this statue of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union..."
He paused.
"I'm afraid that if we make too much noise, it will attract unnecessary attention."
Master Xuanming nodded after listening.
"President Qin's consideration is correct."
"Given Master Li's level of attainment, everything he makes contains supreme power."
"When the carving is completed, it will surely trigger a response from heaven and earth."
President Qin pondered for a moment.
"Next, I'll have the people in the south of the city keep a close eye on things."
Report any developments immediately.
"Also, I'll be going with you to Lan Cailing's daughter's engagement ceremony."
Master Xuanming nodded. "Good."
……
the other side.
Miao territory, Linggu Cave.
Lan Cailing was sitting in her room, looking through the list of congratulatory gifts sent from various villages.
On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, my daughter got engaged.
This is a big deal.
People from all the villages and hamlets in Miao territory have begun preparing congratulatory gifts.
The list was densely packed with all sorts of things.
It has excellent medicinal herbs.
It contains precious Gu worms.
There are exquisite silver ornaments.
Have……
Lan Cailing flipped through the pages, her face expressionless.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Lord of the Cave."
Lan Cailing didn't even look up.
"Come in."
A middle-aged woman pushed open the door and came in. "My lord, the Night's Watch has sent a message."
Lan Cailing looked up.
"What news?"
The middle-aged woman said, "On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Qin, the night watchman, will come to attend Nianzhen's engagement banquet with Senior Xuanming."
Lan Cailing was stunned.
Qin Chengzhong?
What's this old guy up to?
She was silent for a few seconds, then let out a cold laugh.
"Those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."
"That old guy is definitely up to no good."
The middle-aged woman dared not respond.
Lan Cailing thought for a moment, then waved her hand.
"Okay, I understand."
"You may leave."
The middle-aged woman responded and left.
After the door closed, Lan Cailing sat in a chair with her brows furrowed.
Is Qin Chengzhong coming?
Given that old guy's personality, he would never go to Miao territory for no reason.
There's definitely something going on here.
Lan Cailing thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
She shook her head.
Forget it.
We'll see when the time comes.
Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes our way, whether it's soldiers or water.
Lan Cailing, who is she afraid of?
Lan Cailing continued to look down at the list.
But deep down, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
