Lin Shuyou turned around, walked back, and faced the stone tablet.

Zhao Yi: "Engrave: 'The one who destroyed the Yin Yang Lu Family, Jiujiang Zhao Yi!'"

The one named Li didn't want to take this kind of spotlight, but the one named Zhao didn't mind and was happy to be the first to step forward.

Since he became the unofficial leader, he had to seek some fame and fortune, otherwise, what was the point of doing the work?

Fortunately, to be fair, the one named Li was quite generous in this regard.

Lin Shuyou held the chisel and began to carve.

After finishing, Zhao Yi clapped his hands and praised, "Ah You, your handwriting is pretty good."

Lin Shuyou showed a proud smile at the corner of his mouth: "Of course!"

Zhao Yi: "It'd be a pity not to use such beautiful handwriting to write love letters."

Lin Shuyou: "..."

Zhao Yi: "Alright, let's pack up and go back. We still have to visit your in-laws, right?"

Tan Wenbin and the others smiled when they heard this, while Lin Shuyou let out a breath.

As everyone else started to walk out, Zhao Yi deliberately stayed behind and tugged at Lin Shuyou's sleeve.

Lin Shuyou turned to look at him and asked, "What's up?"

Zhao Yi: "I originally thought you were just thinking about it, but it turns out you actually wrote a love letter?"

Lin Shuyou: "No, I didn't write..."

Zhao Yi: "See, your denial is so weak."

Lin Shuyou: "Three-eyed, let's duel, the life-and-death kind."

"Only a fool would duel with you." Zhao Yi put an arm around Lin Shuyou's shoulders.

Lin Shuyou wanted to shake him off, but Zhao Yi leaned into his ear: "Love letter~ love letter~"

The struggle stopped.

Zhao Yi hugged Ah You tightly and swayed affectionately: "Don't worry, I'll always keep this secret for you, ensuring no one else finds out!"

Lin Shuyou: "I actually didn't do anything."

Zhao Yi: "Then shall we confess?"

Lin Shuyou: "You..."

Zhao Yi: "Don't worry, Ah You, I'm always on your side; our relationship is different from theirs."

Lin Shuyou: "Get away from me."

Zhao Yi: "Then next time I need you to carry me, make sure to hold tight."

Lin Shuyou: "You're thinking..."

Zhao Yi: "Your love letter made my cheeks blush and heart race; your passionate confession left me at a loss~"

Lin Shuyou: "Alright, stop singing!"

Walking ahead, Yin Meng heard the commotion behind and asked in confusion, "What song is that? It sounds familiar."

Run Sheng: "A Love Letter."

Yin Meng: "You could even guess the song name?"

Run Sheng: "When I used to watch the store in college, they played songs all day long."

Yin Meng smiled embarrassedly, "No wonder."

She used to go shopping more often and visited stores less frequently.

Run Sheng glanced back at Lin Shuyou and Zhao Yi walking arm in arm, recalling that if he hadn't stopped him at the counter, Ah You would have really taken the pink envelope to write.

After leaving the Lu Mansion and crossing the bridge, but before reaching the village, they encountered a group of people.

They were all dressed as onmyoji, each with various colored phantoms behind them gathering strength, but judging from their aura fluctuations, they were not as strong as the Lu Family members who had just been annihilated.

Upon seeing Zhao Yi and the others come out, they immediately dispersed, forming a semi-circle around them.

Tan Wenbin: "Are they from the Chen Family?"

Zhao Yi: "Yes, because I only notified the Chen Family."

Tan Wenbin: "With this formation, it seems they're not here just to help attack the Lu Family."

Zhao Yi: "Yeah, they'll help whoever wins."

The people were already there, and they probably sensed the commotion from the Lu Family earlier, but they didn't rush in, waiting to see the outcome. If the Lu Family won, they'd help suppress the rebels; if the Lu Family lost, they'd seek revenge.

Even though they were the ones being bullied, they still chose to sit on the fence. While there's some consideration for the survival of a weaker family, a family with such traits becoming strong would be truly unbelievable.

Zhao Yi patted Lin Shuyou's shoulder hard and, changing from his previous casual tone, spoke earnestly:

"Ah You, if you really want to be with that girl, you need to make sure she distances herself from her family. Your in-laws, they're not really fit to be on the table."

"I..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't care, but the elder lady won't tolerate such connections."

"She said she only has a brother, who's still On the River. Her old family doesn't have any close relatives left."

Zhao Yi chuckled at this: "Hehe, not bad, this girl really knows how to see things clearly."

"Who are you?"

"State your identities!"

"Are you the ones who notified our Chen family?"

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Zhao Yi walked out hands crossed behind his back, standing in front of everyone, letting the moonlight shine down on him.

Chen Lin was able to recognize him, and the Chen Family wouldn't be unfamiliar with him.

"Zhao..."

"Jiujiang Zhao..."

"Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Yi originally thought about helping Lin Shuyou smooth things over with the in-laws, with enough teasing and ridiculing. But Zhao Yi knew very well that in critical moments, only Lin Shuyou would carry him to escape, never abandoning him even in death.

However, seeing the fawning attitude of these people in front of him, and recalling their previous behavior, Zhao Yi didn't even bother to show any regard.

Seeing them about to salute him, Zhao Yi directly snorted coldly:

"Get lost!"

...

The partners had all gone out for the extermination team-building.

Li Zhiyuan, who was home alone, didn't feel lonely.

With the addition of the herb garden project, he and Alii now also had another game to enjoy together, making life full.

Ever since Old Tian's legs recovered, he had fully thrown himself into managing the new herb garden. Apart from drinking, chatting, and listening to storytelling with Li Sanjiang, he even slept on the ground in the herb garden at night.

Whenever Li Zhiyuan and Alii came to plant herbs, Old Tian couldn't help but happily mention that when the young master returned, he could once again travel On the River with him.

Li Zhiyuan didn't have the heart to break the old man's fantasy.

Today, while Li Zhiyuan was grabbing farm tools and holding Alii's hand, ready to head over to Big Beard's house, Aunt Zhang came running first. Even though they were already close, Aunt Zhang still shouted in her large voice:

"Little Yuanhou, your call has arrived~"

Sometimes it's only on the plains that one recognizes mountains as a kind of ear membrane protection.

"Coming, Aunt Zhang."

Li Zhiyuan picked up the phone.

Seeing Alii, Aunt Zhang was delighted and took the initiative to offer Alii some snacks.

Alii didn't take them, just stood there looking at the snake spirit with its big bloody mouth wide open, smiling warmly and enthusiastically at her.

"Hello."

"Xiao Yuan, it's me." Xue Liangliang's voice came through, "Did you receive the mobile phone?"

"Yes, I got it."

"Are you short on money?"

"No, we're not."

The "Chasing Faraway Secret Scroll" is selling well, and it's exam season now, so next month's share will only increase.

"That's good, thank you for honoring me by spending my money."

"Okay."

"Xiao Yuan, there's an issue with a project at a certain place. If you have the time, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look..."

Li Zhiyuan's eyes showed seriousness. Based on past timing, Jiang Shui shouldn't be giving him Langhua causality so soon, especially since it hasn't been long since the last wave ended.

But now, Jiang Shui has been unusually generous, providing causal clues far in advance, giving him enough preparation time.

"Brother Liangliang, which project's location are you referring to?"

"Fengdu."
