An Yan swept the hair beside her ear away and smiled faintly, “There’s no need to say more, I understand what you mean, and I’m not worried about a thing, because I believe that he is definitely still alive and will return in a few days!”

“Absolutely! My second brother is blessed with a charmed life, nothing will happen to him!” Qiao Le quickly nodded in agreement.

The three brothers sat for a moment before getting up and leaving.

Once they were outside the An Family’s home, Zhao Xuehui’s expression turned solemn.

“We must be prepared, with the second brother not here, it’s inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives!”

“Understood, whoever dares to mess with the An Family, we’ll lay down our lives if necessary to ensure the safety of these three women!” Both Yang Binyi and Qiao Le’s eyes glittered with a cold light.

Zhao Xuehui nodded, “Right now, our most important task is to manage Tianyuan Company well! The Chen Family just called me, they will go all out to help us maintain the situation!”

“Old Chen is quite righteous!” Qiao Le remarked.

Zhao Xuehui said, “He’s a smart man. Everyone in Zhongdu knows the relationship between the An Family and the Chen Family, so he knows what to do!”

After they left, An Yan sat down despondently in the house, her gaze filled with sorrow.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian asked with concern.

An Yan shook her head, “Nothing!”

“Is it about Dad?” Xue Xiang asked, tilting his head.

An Yan’s complexion turned somewhat pale.

“Mom, let me tell you, both of us can feel Dad’s presence, so don’t worry about him, he will definitely come back!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian reassured An Yan like little adults.

An Yan nodded, sniffed hard to fight back her emotion, and then smiled, “What do you want to eat? Mom will go make it now!”

“Egg fried rice!”

“Alright, Mom will go make it now!”

Before getting busy in the kitchen, An Yan stared blankly at the frying pan for a while.

Husband, are you safe right now?

Don’t worry, I will always be here waiting for you to return. If anyone dares to bully Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, I will do as you said—I’ll grab this frying pan and whack them!

The military camp.

These past few days, An Qing had obviously lost a lot of weight, her cheeks had become dehydrated, transforming from a slightly baby-faced roundness to a pointy oval shape.

Whenever she walked down the corridor holding documents, there would be lots of gossip behind her back.

“See that? That’s the person who caused the death of a whole team!”

“Shh, stop talking. Haven’t you heard? This time she even caused the death of her own brother-in-law. Haven’t you seen how she dares not return home?”

Occasionally these whispered comments reached An Qing’s ears, but she simply turned pale, pretending not to hear.

When she returned to her office, she found that there was someone else already there.

A tall and handsome man in civilian clothes leaned on her desk, watching her with a playful gaze.

“Miss An, long time no see!”

As soon as she saw him, An Qing’s expression turned very ugly, “Liu Minghui!”

Liu Minghui let out a chuckling laugh, his gaze filled with greed as he looked at An Qing.

“An Qing, you’re still the same, haven’t changed much, eh!”

“What are you doing here?” An Qing asked, barely containing her anger.

“What am I doing here? Haha, I think I should inform you that soon, we’ll be colleagues. No! I should say… soon I’ll be your superior!” Liu Minghui said with an air of arrogance.

An Qing was taken aback.

Liu Minghui’s face bore a sneer, “After all, some people caused the death of so many elite soldiers. Although it’s been suppressed, they still have to take some responsibility, don’t you think?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” An Qing’s eyes were filled with rage.

“Nonsense? Haha, why don’t you take a look at what this is?” Liu Minghui placed a piece of paper on the table, then strode away.

But as he passed by An Qing, he smiled meaningfully, “Sorry, but now that the general is dead, there’s no one left to have your back.”

“So in the end, it’s our Liu Family that wins. All your painstaking efforts will come to naught and belong to me! And I’m really looking forward to the day you beg me for mercy!”

After speaking, Liu Minghui left with a smug expression on his face.

Once he had gone, An Qing walked to the office desk in a daze and looked at the orders on the paper.

Originally, the Liu Family and the An Family had competed fiercely for military positions. In the end, the An Family narrowly won, and An Qing managed to gain a position by the general’s side.

But the struggle between the two families never ceased, with Liu Minghui eyeing An Qing with covetous desire.

And now, with the general dead and the Fire Phoenix missing, An Qing had effectively become an isolated force, with no one left to rely on.

That’s why the Liu Family took such a bold move at this time, the malice and venom in their intentions extreme.

An Qing’s face was pale, tears falling like broken pearls, silently staining the words on the paper.

Brother-in-law, where are you now?

Though the news of Xue An’s disappearance was suppressed by Chen Xiu’s best efforts, preventing major upheaval,

the seemingly calm Zhongdu still felt like a storm was about to break.

And at this moment, a man and a woman appeared on the streets of Zhongdu.

The man was tall and powerful, with a golden complexion.

The woman was dressed in white, surpassing the snow in purity, with an ethereal beauty.

The two stood on the street, looking at a nearby advertisement.

On it was a bold advertisement for Heaven’s Fate Elixir.

A disdainful smile appeared on the man’s face, “Sister Wen, this mere mortal potion dares to make such grand claims, it’s laughable.”

Wen Banmei’s expression was cold as she lightly said, “This trip down from Kunlun, our master wants us to see if there are any new developments in the mortal world, and this thing has caught my interest!”

Jiang Nubing laughed, “In that case, let’s go and have a look.”

Wen Banmei nodded slightly.

After the two got a bottle of Tianyuan, they didn’t pay much attention at first, and Jiang Nubing said with a laugh, “It looks pretty, but I wonder what’s inside.”

As he spoke, Jiang Nubing opened the bottle and took a sniff at the nose, his face suddenly changing.

“How is it?” asked Wen Banmei.

Jiang Nubing didn’t answer, but poured out a small cup and drank it down.

After a moment, he opened his eyes wide in shock.

“This thing, it’s useful to us!”

“What?” A hint of surprise also emerged on Wen Banmei’s frosty face.

Jiang Nubing said in a grave voice, “This substance actually has an effect similar to that of an elixir. After drinking it, I feel my cultivation level has faintly increased!”

Now even Wen Banmei could no longer remain composed. She took the Tianyuan and tasted it herself, then was also stunned.

It was well known that in their secret realm of Kunlun, elixirs that could enhance cultivation levels were possessions only True Disciples were qualified to have, and even they would receive only a few each year.

Even they, proclaimed as the immortals of Kunlun, only got slightly more.

It was said that the favored descendants of those True Sects might have more, but it was impossible to acquire something like this Tianyuan as easily as purchasing it with a flick of the hand.

Wen Banmei and Jiang Nubing exchanged glances, both seeing the greed and excitement in each other’s eyes.

This trip to the mortal world was worth it!
