Chapter 29: Living in the Military Compounds Big Courtyard with My Maternal Grandfather

  Today Lin Luoran was originally on a rotating shift, and at this time it wasn't even noon yet. Suddenly, Baojia said she wanted to take Lin Luoran to see her grandfather. In terms of timing, it was still early, but emotionally, it was somewhat sudden.

  It was her first time visiting, so Lin Luo Ran didn't want to come empty-handed. She actually wanted to give the elderly person the best medicinal herbs from her space, but that ginseng was only "over thirty years old", and pulling it out now would be too wasteful. Besides, she didn't know if she could find such a good spirit root in the future.

  She thought for a moment, and there was a gift that was quite suitable, so she asked Baojia to drive to the store under Wang Jie's name. Of course, the banner was to find Wang Jie on business.

  Baojia knew that they had been in contact with each other quite frequently recently, and Lin Luoran got off the car without going to find Wang Miaoe, but instead casually picked a piece of olive green jade pendant with a price tag of over 10,000 yuan.

  Ten thousand yuan is the starting price, after deducting operating costs, even if it's just a small pendant, the raw material can't be said to be filler or jade residue compression, but real jadeite, which can't be considered high-end.

  The pendant she bought has a mediocre color and can only be considered ordinary, but the craftsmanship is good. After her secondary processing, it's still possible to give it as a gift.

  Bao Jia saw her smiling and coming out, casually asking: "What did you say to Wang sister, so happy?"

  Lin Luo Ran smiled and whispered: "Secret!"

  Shedding the burden of Li Anping's previous tuition and living expenses, with savings in the bank and a mysterious space in hand, working during the day and cultivating at night, Lin Luoran felt very secure and fulfilling, becoming much more confident, and occasionally even carefree.

  "Look at your demeanor......" Good friends have become more extensive, and their personality has become more cheerful. Baojia is not like ordinary girls who are small-minded and feel ignored, she only cares about Lin Luoran's happiness.

  Bao Jia concentrated on driving, while Lin Luo Ran used the pearl's own ability to probe towards the Guanyin pendant - Ah, it was indeed worth its price, poor thing with so little spiritual energy!

  The bead's mouth had changed, and it had detected the faint spiritual energy. It retracted its ferocious wolf-like face and slowly floated out a white glow to absorb the spiritual energy contained in the Guanyin pendant. Watching its slow movements, Lin Lorin sometimes felt that the bead itself was conscious, cleverly astonishing people!

  But today it's not to "start its meal", but to make the pearl emit a peaceful spirit. The pearl received her thoughts, and its movements became even more reluctant - if it really had consciousness, it would definitely secretly scold Lin Luoran, its master.

  The Guanyin pendant, although made of ordinary jade, was surprisingly able to store spiritual energy far exceeding what it originally possessed. The bead was grasped by Zhang Ding, and suddenly a large amount of spiritual energy burst out. In the end, no matter how Lin Luoran urged or demanded, the bead simply retracted its white light and pretended to be dead.

  Although he cursed a sentence of true treachery, taking advantage of Baojia's focus on driving, Lin Luoran secretly glanced at the jade pendant hidden in his pocket and was still very satisfied with the effect after secondary processing.

  Bao Jia drove carefully on the road, while Lin Luo Ran was focused on her makeover project, neither of them noticed where Bao Jia was heading. It wasn't until Bao Jia said "we're here" that Lin Luo Ran realized they had entered a quiet residential compound in the midst of the bustling city.

  Lin Luoran pressed down on the car window and looked out at where they were headed.

  At the entrance, a soldier with a gun stood upright, and Lin Luo felt a bad omen from him, guessing that it was not just a show. Adding to this the sign "XX Military District Family Compound", even if Lin Luo had a pig's brain, he could still guess where he was.

  "R City's military division? Ah, Old Lady Bao, you never told me that." Lin Luo Ran immediately interrogated Bao Jia.

  Bao Jia's face turned red, "I'll tell you later."

  Baojia was a familiar face, and the guard only checked her pass as a matter of routine before giving Lin Luoran a registration slip, and then let them in.

  As the car slowly drove through the gate, the window didn't roll down. A man wearing sneakers happened to see Lin Luoran's profile, his eyes suddenly widened, and with great professionalism, he quickly pressed the shutter button on his phone.

  8 million pixels, captured Lin Luo's side profile in the car window extremely clearly, the sneaker boy was so excited that he almost shed tears...

  "Comrade, what's the car that just went in?" The sneaker man tried to get close to the security guard, but seeing the security guard looking at him with a vigilant face, he could only smile awkwardly twice, touched his nose, and quickly slipped away.

  They had arrived at an intersection near the big hospital when the man in sneakers finally pulled out a finely printed portrait and compared it with the photo he had taken, confirming that they were indeed the same person. Only then did he deftly dial a string of numbers and send the photo over.

  The title of the message had only four words: "Person has been found".

  Thinking of the heavy reward promised by Master Mu, the sneaker boy felt that he was going to turn his life around this time. After sending the message, he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear, fantasizing about himself holding a high-ranking position in the future, and his saliva almost flowed out uncontrollably.

  ……

  The formerly elegant and refined Mu Da Shao has been having a tough time lately.

  Thrown to R city to manage a small subsidiary, he was almost laughed to death by his peers and friends in the family. Moreover, since he lost the precious sapling that his elders valued last time, Mochen Nan's "sentence" seemed to have no end in sight.

  It's not so bad if that's all, R city is famous for having many beautiful women, while searching for the lost species, he can also flirt with the soft girls and talk about "love", Mu Tian Nan is still quite satisfied with this leisurely life.

  He went from being anxious at first to finally accepting his fate, and was completely carefree.

  Until the old man at home was about to celebrate his birthday, his father personally called him and scolded him with words like "good-for-nothing" and "unfilial son", and ordered that he would not be allowed to return home for Grandpa Lian's birthday banquet until he found a job. Only then did Mu Tian Nan become anxious.

  It's not that he was eager to return home to be filial, but rather his old man happened to cancel all his cards and didn't let him touch the company accounts. As a result, Mu Tian Nan was in a tragic situation... If he didn't chase girls, he would die; if he chased girls, he would be called a freeloader, which was even more unbearable than death.

  Mei Tian Nan thought for a long time, and his father was still afraid of the old master at home. He had to coax Grandpa into a good mood. Mei Lao Ye loved jade stones, which was well-known. Mei Tian Nan got a piece of fine jade from a fat man surnamed Cui through connections, asked a skilled craftsman to carve an "Eight Immortals Celebrating Longevity" ornament, and had it delivered back to the capital with great fanfare.

  Of course, the money for buying jade materials was borrowed from the Mou family brothers with a frightening "debt book" signed by Mou Tian Nan with high interest.

  Life and death are just a matter of this move! Mu Gongzi rubbed his hands and stood in front of the phone, according to the news he received, Grandpa should have received the gift long ago, why hasn't there been any reaction yet?

  "Ding ding ding......" The landline in the office rang, with the area code "010", which was exactly the phone number of Mu's old house. Mu Tian Nan almost burst out laughing, indeed heaven didn't abandon him!

  "Hey, it's old master..." Mu Tian Nan didn't even have time to put on a filial grandson tone before he was interrupted by Mu Old Master's thunderous voice.

  "Where did you get that piece of jade?" Old Man Mu asked with his mouth open.

  Eh, with such a fierce tone, doesn't Grandfather like it? Mu Tian Nan explained the origin of the jade ornament in a trembling voice. Old Master Mu listened carefully and remained silent for a long time. Just when Mu Tian Nan's heart was about to turn cold, his grandfather burst out laughing loudly, almost shattering his eardrums:

  "Haha, well done! That little brat finally did something right for once, indeed a true descendant of the old Mu family!"

  "When was the last time Grandpa praised him, was he nine or ten years old? Mo Tian Nan suddenly looked like he had eaten a ginseng fruit, every pore on his body felt comfortable and relaxed, and he asked in a flattering tone: "Grandpa, the longevity peaches that son sent are really good, right? Haha, only such jade can match up to our family's Grandpa, haha..."

  "Eight Immortals celebrating longevity? Don't you know the old man hates it when people put He Xiangu and Lü Dongbin together?"

  Oh no! I forgot that Grandpa always claimed to be a descendant of He Xiangu... Ever since the TV series fabricated that He Xiangu liked Lü Dongbin, Old Master has been very displeased with the actor who played Lü Dongbin in the show, saying he tarnished his own ancestor's reputation...

  The heavens are cold and sweating, and it's very strange. In that case, "Eight Immortals Celebrating Longevity" is a flattery that has fallen flat? What is Grandpa happy about?

  "Ah, Tian Nan! Do you know what that piece of jade you brought is? It actually contains the pure and auspicious spiritual energy of heaven and earth! Such auspicious spiritual energy, since I, this old man, can remember, how many years has it been since I've seen it... Your injury is stable, all thanks to this piece of jade you sent!"

  Although Mu Tian Nan didn't cultivate, he had been influenced by his grandfather's words since childhood and knew that the "Ling Qi" in his grandfather's mouth was a guarantee for survival for strong people like them. However, from a young age, his grandfather said that the Ling Qi of heaven and earth was brutal and no longer willing to let Mu Tian Nan suffer the hardships of cultivation. This was also the first time Mu Tian Nan heard his grandfather describe the Ling Qi as "peaceful".

  Thinking that Grandpa Guo might be saved, Mu Tian Nan finally felt a little relieved from the guilt of losing the ginseng seeds. "Then let's continue searching for this jade, maybe Grandpa Guo will have a chance to be saved?"

  Mr. Mu was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, before speaking seriously: "If it were in an ordinary person's hands, you must buy it back at a fair price, and cannot take it by force! However... I suspect this is the work of a high-ranking cultivator, so be careful not to provoke the powerful figure behind him."

  Hanging up the phone, Grandpa said that there might be a master of high cultivation. Thinking of the original owner of Feicuiyuan, that vulgar and fat guy Cui, Mu Tian Nan's face turned black.

  Is there really someone who likes to hang a gold chain as thick as a little finger on his neck? Mo Tian Nan couldn't help but shudder - he was shocked!

  Just then, his mobile phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from an unfamiliar number. When Mu Tian Nan opened the message, his mood, which had been fluctuating wildly all day, finally made him jump with excitement!

  Ah, finally caught you, you little thief who stole Grandpa's seeds!
