All of you who have been following my posts know that I have a headache condition. When I was writing "From Afar" earlier, I even stopped updating for a week because of the headaches... Two nights ago, I accidentally drank a cup of coffee and ended up staying awake all night. Yesterday, my head hurt so much it felt like it was going to explode, so I went to the hospital. Today, my head is still a bit dizzy, but I can barely write now. The pink tickets need an update, but since I have to go to the hospital this afternoon, I probably won't be able to update today. I'll make up for it tomorrow, okay? Please forgive me, dear readers!! --- A certain fruit who bows and apologizes!!!

I typed out all these names by hand, never copying and pasting. But, dear, that string of symbols before "贼" really stumped me... You broke my record of not using copy and paste... The conversation above is free of charge... Dajun's phone call was purely a formality; aside from a single "hello", he didn't let Xiaojing say another word. As soon as he hung up, he turned around with an apologetic expression and said to the elderly person in front of him, "Sorry, Shexiao Laoshi. Our young master really has no time, you see..."

  Xie Lao, nearly seventy years old, still looked spirited and energetic as if he were only in his fifties. He wore a traditional martial arts outfit, looking almost indistinguishable from the elderly men and women practicing Tai Chi in the early morning. Stroking his small beard, Xie Lao chuckled warmly and said, "No need to bother, I just asked casually."

  "Uh-huh, uh-huh." Da Shan nodded hastily. He looked as obedient as a little mouse facing a big cat, and even his smile seemed to convey a hint of sincerity and... guilt. "Thank you, sir, I'm really sorry to have troubled you to come all the way here yourself."

  The old man waved his hand carelessly and walked slowly to the office door with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "Bai Xijing is quite capable now, even daring to deceive me. Alas, I'm getting old, let young people handle their own affairs!"

  Dashi couldn't help but secretly wipe away a cold sweat, this old man... was so cunning. Although Bai Xijing's status in S city was unshakeable, these older generation people who had close ties with the Bai family still needed to be given some face, "Thank you, Elder, take your time, come visit us at home when you're free, Uncle Bai has been thinking of you."

  "Alright. Stop talking nonsense, would Bai Qirui think of me? It's more believable that the sun rises from the west." Xie Lao chuckled and teased, looking at his gradually disappearing back, Da Shan fiercely spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and hastily made a call to Bai Xijing, "Boss, it's done."

  "Hmm." Bai Xijing listened to the various surprised screams of the young men in the large study upstairs, and unconsciously hooked the corner of his mouth, saying, "Go check it out, who leaked the news that Jing Cui is actually a 'bald idiot', thank you for your kindness, inviting judges doesn't need him to show up in person, he's hinting that someone wants to make trouble for me."

  Dà Shān's expression turned serious, "I'll go check right away."

  "After you've investigated clearly, you handle it yourself, I don't want anyone else to privately leak any information about Jingchen without permission."

  "Understood, will ensure task completion."

  He hung up the phone, and Bai Xijing's elbow rested on the edge of the table, his fingers intertwined and pressed against his chin. His delicate phoenix eyes were slightly sunken, and a cold light flickered behind his transparent glass lenses. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up into a shallow arc, but it was completely different from the smile he had when he heard his daughter and nephews playing and laughing.

  The "Jianghu Kill" league will be broadcast live online, but only the in-game PK scenes will be shown. Players are not allowed to record videos outside of the game, especially minors, unless they have obtained consent from the player or their guardian. Otherwise, any real audio and video information must be kept confidential, which is also a protection for players.

  In this era of information explosion, audio-visual and written materials have almost no secrets to speak of.

  Xiao Jingchen was only six years old, and Bai Xijing would not allow anyone or anything to affect Xiao Jingchen's normal life. He agreed to let Xiao Jingchen participate in the league for two reasons: one was that his beloved daughter really liked this fighting game, and the other, more importantly, was that S City was home to both Kai Xuan Network Technology Company and the headquarters of "Jianghu Sha", and S City was where Bai Xijing held absolute power. Although he rarely used such privileges, it was enough for him to protect those he wanted to protect.

  So he doesn't worry at all that Xiaojing's personal information will be exposed, and even more so, he doesn't worry that the league results will affect his daughter's normal life!

  This is an era of relying on one's father, having a powerful father is more useful than anything... The investigation results came out quickly, and the name "Yao Xiangfei" appeared again in Bai Xijin's line of sight. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his neatly trimmed fingertips tapped lightly on the desktop, once and again. White Grandfather, who was reading a book, felt a sudden panic, and couldn't help but turn his head to look towards the desk behind him, only to meet Bai Xijin's cold, bloodthirsty smile. White Grandfather stiffened slightly, and quickly lowered his head to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

  I'm old, it's now the young people's world, let them go through their own struggles, an old man can't bother with so much anymore, yeah, that's how it is.

  Dashi was considering how to deal with this trouble-making woman when Bai Xijing suddenly called him.

  "Didn't you say that some people at the Shield Bureau didn't have anything to do? I'm giving you a week off, go and have some fun!"

  "Yes!" The big mountain excitedly roared. There's nothing in this world that makes people happier than getting the boss's approval to do bad things!

  The God Shield Bureau is so busy!

  Qualifying match ended, all the young men from the White family advanced smoothly. In the first round, seven youngsters collectively changed their guns and dazzled a group of onlookers with titanium alloy dog eyes, chopping those who fought against them with blood on their faces. Amidst the overwhelming support and criticism in the league forum, they once again advanced smoothly.

  The young men felt that they had been hit by a pie dropped from the sky and could go to see the Buddha with their physical bodies. Wearing top-notch equipment and chopping people was indeed the most exciting thing. They couldn't help but cheer and toss Xiaojingchen into the air, and then catch her steadily when she fell back. Of course, this is the normal procedure, but the question is... Is Xiaojingchen a normal person?????

  Xiao Jingchen was working hard to change the flower-shaped boss, when suddenly she was picked up by her brothers and thrown into the air. In fact, the air wasn't very high, after all, there was a roof blocking it. Xiao Jingchen didn't react for a moment, her whole brain was dizzy, and in mid-air, her body had no support point at all. She felt a bit empty inside, so she subconsciously scratched with her paws and hooked with her feet, and the whole person hung on the beautiful chandelier like a koala bear. The chandelier was affected by external forces and slowly swayed... Xiao Liu swallowed hard and said dryly, "Jingchen, what are you doing climbing so high? Come down quickly!" Don't break the ceiling lamp, Grandpa will beat them to death, really will, old people who control the study can't afford it!

  The crystal pendant on Xiaozhi's hand swayed gently. With a light and agile movement, she changed direction, her actions even more nimble than a long-armed gibbon climbing a tree. She lowered her head to look at the seven brothers on the ground, puffed out her cheeks, and said with a pouting mouth, "It was obviously you guys who threw me up here."

  A group of young people: "......" all slapped their own palms, making you cheap, making you cheap, making you cheap!

  As the elder brother, Bai Xuchen put on his most gentle and kind expression, softly saying, "Jingchen, come down quickly, it's very dangerous to climb so high."

  "Oh." Xiao Jingchen responded cleverly, and the group of young men collectively let out a breath, but unfortunately, they only managed to exhale halfway before it got stuck in their lungs.

  Only to see Xiao Jing dust Zaza holding the chandelier, suddenly made a thousand jin fall, the metal piece connecting the chandelier and the ceiling "pa——" broke, and then the boys stared at the luxurious crystal chandelier carrying the soft and fluffy little sister directly falling... The crowd of boys collectively made a terrified scream!

  "Bang——" The crystal chandelier failed to receive the boys' pure and beautiful wishes, and directly fell on the tile floor. The crystal lamp pieces were broken all over the ground, and some even splashed onto the boys' toes, lightly touching them but making their hearts bleed.

  Xiao Jing dust slowly and steadily climbed down from the abandoned chandelier, looking at the crystal shards scattered all over the floor. Her big eyes blinked repeatedly, her small paws touched each other.

  Girl, you're absolutely ridiculous!

  It happened too suddenly, and Xiaojingchen's movements were too smooth, so the young men had no chance to save or stop it.

  Upon hearing the loud noise in the big study, Bai Xijing and Grandfather Bai rushed over immediately from the small study, while Grandma Bai from the kitchen was a step or two slower.

  Looking at the chandelier that had fallen to the ground in the middle of the large study, looking at the fine crystal glass scattered all over the floor, and looking at the stone statues of the young men with dull gray complexions, Grandpa Bai's face suddenly turned black, his teeth clenched tightly, "What...is...going...on?"

  The boys were silent as cicadas in winter, all bowing their heads in repentance, with no one daring to face Grandfather White's anger.

  Bai Xi Jing directly bypassed his own father, and with one hand, he picked up the little girl, Xiao Jing Yu, who was beside the lamp, touched her face, rubbed her head, kissed her eyes, and looked at his daughter, who didn't seem to be frightened.

  At that moment, Bai Xijing had an epiphany and quickly took his daughter out of the study room. He met White Grandma on the stairs, who looked at the father-daughter duo and asked, "What's going on here?"

  "It's nothing, the ceiling light in the big study suddenly fell down and (the nephews) were scared." Bai Xi Jing's intentionally misleading words made Bai ***'s heart soften instantly. She automatically replaced the unspoken "nephews" with "daughter", so White Grandma immediately hugged Little Jing Dust and turned around to go downstairs, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandma will make you delicious food."

  Then, everything that had happened in the large study room where memories were still dull was suddenly forgotten after being understood, and Xiaojing, who had hoped to help the young men clear their names, was immediately attracted by "good food" and threw his brothers behind him without any pressure.

  Bai Xijing leaned on the handrail of the stairs, gazing at the distant figure of Bai Nainai, pushed his glasses up and curled up a smile at the corner of his mouth, then turned back to the small study room to continue working, while also using his ears to pay attention to the progress in the large study room upstairs.

  How long does it take from heaven to hell?

  Boys use their own experiences of blood and tears to tell you: in less than a second, just enough for the chandelier to fall from the ceiling to the floor!

  The wrath of the elderly is terrifying, especially the wrath of retired elderly people who have nothing to do at home. If this elderly person happens to be a bookworm and you coincidentally ruined his most treasured study...

  Oh, dear, have a good trip, and don't forget that Ghost Festival is offering 30% off on summoning souls! (RQ)
