They were delivered, and the two miserable agents who still had work to do left first.
Jiang Nuo looked up at the imposing association gate and exclaimed.
"It looks pretty convincing."
As they walked inside side by side, he nudged Si Yan's shoulder. "How much do you earn a month working in your association?"
Si Yan thought for a moment, "It's based on ability, with no upper limit."
"And what about you? I remember they all call you... Young Master!"
Si Yan smiled and took Jiang Nuo's hand. "I don't need to be paid."
"Okay, you're a capitalist."
Jiang Nuo strode inside, but was startled by an unidentified creature that jumped out from a corner, and almost attacked it.
" Si Yan!! Young Master! Why did you bring him back!"
An unidentified creature screamed wildly behind a pile of hair.
Jiang Nuo nudged Si Yan's shoulder, incredulous, "Is this a person?"
I thought the Tuoba had come to life!
"This mop... this person doesn't welcome me?" Jiang Nuo asked amidst the Tuoba's roaring noises.
No, he's a fan of yours, he's probably just too excited.
Si Yan was speechless, feeling like he had led Jiang Nuo into a den of wolves.
Sure enough, the next second, Tuoba excitedly rushed to Jiang Nuo, his rough hands trembling as he stretched out his hands, " God Nuo! I'm your fan!"
Jiang Nuo chuckled dryly, "No, I didn't wash my hands."
He didn't care about the Tuoba; he turned around and shouted at the tall building behind him.
"Young Master has brought God Nuo back!!"
A single sound stirred up a thousand waves.
In the next few minutes, Jiang Nuo swore she really heard the floor shaking.
Then I saw the most bizarre and strange people I've ever seen in the real world.
Jiang Nuo categorized them.
The Tuoba came to life, the tall brush came to life, and the short bucket came to life.
What a great Scrub-a-Dub Group!
There are also all sorts of eccentric people.
A fan meeting was being held downstairs, and the real boyfriend Si Yan, was squeezed out of the crowd, leaning against the wall with a black line on his face, drawing circles in frustration.
Several more minutes passed, and Jiang Nuo chatted happily.
Si Yan scratched at the corner of the wall and shouted, "Anyone who doesn't return to their work station within two minutes will have their month-end performance bonus reduced by 20!"
The joyous meeting fell silent.
Three seconds later, everyone screamed and ran back to the high-rise building, like wild beasts retreating from a court, amidst a chorus of wails, as if they had only loved Jiang Nuo for a brief moment.
Jiang Nuo put her hands on her hips and let out a huge sigh of relief.
Dealing with these weirdos is more tiring than attending a fan meeting!
He turned around in place, but didn't see his Little Lucky Star. " Si Yan?"
Nobody paid any attention.
Jiang Nuo smiled and coughed lightly, her hands behind her back.
"If you're not by my side within two minutes, you're not allowed to sleep in bed for 20 days."
These words were clearly very threatening. Si Yan strode out, her eyes filled with shock. "Twenty days? How dare Nuonuo say that?"
"Just kidding."
Jiang Nuo laughed and pounced on him, "People in your association are really strange."
"These are all talented people invited from all over Huaxia over the years."
Si Yan spoke, she led him towards the main building, introducing his living quarters along the way with a cheerful expression.
--
Inside the study.
Hearing the door open, Si Mingde looked up with a kind smile on his face.
Although he had watched many live streams and spoken to Jiang Nuo on the phone, this was indeed his first meeting with her.
This was also the first time Jiang Nuo had met this old man.
I had expected him to be as cold and aloof as Si Yan when we first met, but he turned out to be surprisingly kind and approachable.
Jiang Nuo's curious gaze met Si Mingde's, and she smiled subconsciously, "Hello, Grandpa!"
A very strong and energetic greeting.
Si Mingde was amused for a long time, then brewed a pot of tea.
"Excellent, excellent, seeing is believing."
"She dominates the live stream, but she's such a well-behaved child."
The obedient Jiang Nuo smiled again and sat down with Si Yan.
"Grandpa, I have a few things to tell you today."
Si Mingde became more serious. "The first thing I need to do is apologize to you."
He said to Jiang Nuo, his tone ashamed.
Jiang Nuo tilted her head in confusion, glanced at Si Yan, then looked blankly back at the kind old man opposite her, "Why?"
"Back then, Xiao Yan was in poor health, and I used the soul within that Spirit-Suppressing Stone to maintain his life. Later, I learned that it was actually your soul."
So that's what it was about.
Jiang Nuo sipped her tea and waved her hand. "It's good that we found it. We can't really ask Si Yan to return my soul; he'll be killed."
Si Yan's lips curled up, his eyes curved slightly, and his gaze towards Jiang Nuo softened.
Si Mingde simply couldn't bear to look.
"But Grandpa is very curious. When I got that fragment of soul back then, I searched for a long time but couldn't find any children who had lost their souls. How could that be?"
Si Yan was always very interested in Jiang Nuo's past, and looked at him with suspicion.
Jiang Nuo's vision gradually blurred with the steam from the tea, and she drifted into memories.
"That mountain, in front of it, is the orphanage where I lived when I was a child."
"When I was a child, I often had nightmares. In my dreams, I would go to many different places and see many different people. Every time someone appeared in my nightmare, I would also see them in reality."
"After experiencing some things, I realized that it was an out-of-body experience."
As Jiang Nuo spoke, she slowly took Si Yan's hand, her voice slightly lowered.
"But my Love Soul was lost at birth, perhaps... I was born not far from the orphanage, and since my soul left my body, it has never returned, so naturally there's no way to find me through my soul."
"I see."
Si Mingde nodded with a sigh, "Thinking about it... it must be fate."
Jiang Nuo never showed any expression when recalling the past, and even after being back in the real world for so long, she never thought of going back to the orphanage.
After the headmistress died, the orphanage was no longer the home it used to be.
He rubbed his fingertips, pulling himself out of his thoughts, just in time to see the message from his assistant.
" Brother Nuo, I couldn't get anything out of Han Wenche. He's been sent to a mental health center; they say he went insane from excessive shock."
"But he kept muttering things like, 'Someone will help him become a world superstar,' and 'His family has a strong fortune...' and other similar phrases."
"And also... Han Wenche said that you're the one who ruined him, and the family will avenge him."
Jiang Nuo turned off her phone and looked up at the old man opposite her.
What kind of organization is the Mikazuki Family?
Si Mingde was taken aback. "What a coincidence, the second thing is about the Mikazuki Family."
He pulled a stack of documents from under the calligraphy paper. "Take a look."
"The next time the Dragon Vein is repaired, the geographical location will be very peculiar. Will it be located at the border between the waters of Huaxia and Wa Country, or in the dragon's claw section of the dragon Dragon Vein?"
Si Mingde stroked his beard, his tone serious, "So it will also be a friendly match between the Chinese Daoist Association and Japan, a contest of the strength of the extraordinary individuals from both countries, and it will also be conducted through a variety show called 'Great Adventure'."
"This matter concerns the reputation of Huaxia and is closely related to the Dragon Vein. Number One attaches great importance to this matter and sent a document to the association in advance."
Si Yan was flipping through the documents very seriously. Jiang Nuo leaned over to take a few glances, but only cared about one thing.
" Number One did contact me, but since I'm representing the Dao Xuan Association in the competition... will there be any extra prize money? I'd rather just sit back and relax."
Jiang Nuo looked at Si Mingde and blinked, "Grandpa will definitely give it to me, right?"
Si Mingde laughed heartily, "Of course, of course."
"Whether you win or not, if you run out of money, just ask Grandpa for it."
He then took out a check from the drawer and started writing it, saying with a smile, "Maybe once the Dragon Vein are all repaired, you really can finally realize your wish to lie down and relax!"
Si Yan glanced at the amount her grandfather had written down, and thinking of the expensive antiques and treasures Jiang Nuo had bought, she thought that it probably wasn't enough.
But even a small mosquito bite is still meat, and he always enjoyed taking advantage of his grandfather.
