My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Hehe, how about it?

She looked smug and was about to run away.

Then, Su Chang saw Ji Yuan pick up a remote control from the coffee table.

The entryway door slammed shut in an instant. Su Chang tried to push the door open to leave, but found that she couldn't open it at all.

[You've imprisoned a beautiful widow in a room, preventing her from leaving. To avoid being discovered by the Cloud Cavalry, the system is rewarding you with the method to excavate and build a basement.]

This system is getting more and more unorthodox.

"You know, the main feature of this room is its safety and reliability." Ji Yuan slowly stood up, grinning as he walked to Su Chang's side.

"Brother, please don't... hit me?"

"Don't worry, I won't hit you."

Su Chang was even more frightened.

Because she knew that if her brother said he wouldn't hit her, the punishment he would face later would be far more severe than the beating itself.

"It's just that Mom asked me to tutor you last night..."

"Um, I have to go for my performance review today..."

"It's okay, I'll ask for leave for you as your older brother. Tell him you're too tired and need to rest, and I'll accept those honors for you."

"No!" Su Chang said quickly, "Brother, don't you have to go report for duty too? Why are you staying here?"

"Oh, this? Don't forget I'm researching life sciences now, so developing a creature to supervise your studies wouldn't be too difficult. Hmm, how about a little dog that can supervise your homework and even check it for you?"

"Can't you even be a human being?!"

Su Chang said to Ji Yuan through gritted teeth.

"Haha, who told you to kick your brother this morning?" Ji Yuan laughed heartily. He had vented his anger enough and patted Su Chang's head: "But Mom did ask me to supervise your studies. You go to the Cloud Cavalry Army first, we can talk about tutoring when you get back tonight."

"Can I not come home tonight?"

Ji Yuan said with a forced smile, "If you're planning to have my legs broken and then spend the rest of your life recovering, I'll definitely allow you to stay out all night. Also, remember this: don't you dare start dating too early."

His words only earned him a disdainful look from Su Chang.

"Brother, isn't this what you call 'only one is allowed to light a lamp, but no one is allowed to set a fire'? You said you would stay single for a hundred years like me? Judging from your situation with Sister Tingyun, in a hundred years my nephew will probably be over ninety years old."

"I……"

Ji Yuan was momentarily speechless after being bumped by Su Chang.

He really couldn't explain the current situation.

"Shangshang, your brother and I aren't boyfriend and girlfriend yet. At least, he hasn't admitted it."

Huanlong's voice rang out beside Baiye and Sushang.

Holding the puppy in her arms, she smiled and spoke to them. However, her eyes kept glancing at Ji Yuan, and the grievance in her eyes really made Ji Yuan feel like a scumbag.

"Oh? Sister Tingyun, why are you helping my brother too?"

Seeing that Huanlong was also speaking up for Ji Yuan, Su Chang couldn't help but complain.

Huanlong put the puppy on the ground, then patted Sushang on the shoulder: "I'm just telling the truth. Sushang, if you want your brother to accept you as his girlfriend, you'll have to help me out a lot."

"How can I help with this...?"

Su Chang was very confused.

At this moment, Ji Yuan hurriedly urged his younger sister to leave.

"Go, go, hurry up and get going. Don't waste time, or everyone else will have already collected all the medals."

Su Chang was 'driven' out by Ji Yuan.

After kicking her out, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he was letting out a sigh of relief, he felt a light pat on the shoulder.

"Ji Yuan, are you trying to shirk responsibility for me?" Huanlong said resentfully. As she spoke, she gently touched her chest.

Ji Yuan's expression was somewhat unnatural. Other interactions could be described as being with the real Ting Yun. However, some physical intimacy involved touching Huan Long.

Fortunately, he still had an excuse.

Ji Yuan said to Huanlong, "Well, I told Su Chang that I didn't want her to be in a relationship, so I told her that as long as she doesn't date, I won't date either."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Huanlong tilted his head and scrutinized him intently for a long time.

For a long time,

She slowly began to speak, "Ji Yuan, by the way, are you a siscon?"

Sister control?

Ji Yuan's expression showed surprise.

"No, how could I be a sister-complex? I'm driven crazy by Su Chang every day. Tingyun, you're overthinking it."

"You're overthinking it? But why would a brother forbid his sister from dating?" Huanlong tapped her chin with her finger, looking thoughtful. "You know, you two aren't related by blood."

"I think you're overthinking it."

Ji Yuan rolled her eyes at Huanlong.

"You'd better go change your clothes quickly, you have to go to the Tianbo Company to report on your duties later."

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Huan Long smiled and turned around to lie on the sofa where Ji Yuan had just been lying. She picked up Ji Yuan's blanket and wrapped it around her upper body, leaving only her smooth thighs, her panties faintly visible under her skirt, and her fluffy tail exposed.

She turned her head and lay down to look at Ji Yuan, saying to him, "I've already asked for leave today. I'm going home to see my parents later. I want to sleep a little longer."

"Alright, then I'll go to the Tianbo Bureau by myself."

Seeing Huanlong say this, Ji Yuan had no choice but to set off alone.

After changing his clothes, he left his home.

Huanlong lay on the sofa and rested for a while before leaving Ji Yuan's house.

It was true that she wanted to visit Tingyun's parents, but in addition to visiting them, she also wanted to see some children.

……

Ji Yuan arrived at the Tianbo Bureau early.

Before he even stepped inside, he saw a tiny little girl standing at the doorway, looking around curiously. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, she quickly walked over.

“Ji Yuan, you are half an hour later than usual. I have been waiting for you here for half an hour.”

Fu Xuan stood in front of Ji Yuan, hands on his hips, looking very angry.

Because of Ji Yuan's immense computational power, Fu Xuan couldn't calculate anything about him, but she didn't want this matter to be exposed to others. So she gathered all the time records of his work on the Luofu Immortal Ship and the distance of his house from the Tianbo Bureau, and finally calculated the most likely time of his arrival. She planned to strike first, just as he arrived, to seize him for labor.

As a result, Ji Yuan, who was determined to do as he pleased, simply arrived more than half an hour late.

This infuriated Fu Xuan.

Are all people with '元' in their names this despicable?

"Uh, sorry, sorry, Lord Taibu, I had some things to do this morning." Ji Yuan looked at the angry Fu Xuan, realizing that he was indeed late for work, and quickly bowed his head to apologize.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to the Dharma Eye on her forehead.

Because he had worn the Dharma Eye before, he had a strange feeling after seeing this Dharma Eye.

He couldn't help but think about what the virtual Ruan Mei had told him before, that he should work more with Fu Xuan so that he could improve his Dharma Eye through her.

She had previously thought she would never have the chance to act with Fu Xuan, but just yesterday she was thinking that, and today she came over.

The problem is, even if they get together, they can't possibly do anything underhanded to Fu Xuan.

Seeing Ji Yuan apologize, Fu Xuan felt slightly relieved. However, when she looked at Ji Yuan, she felt a slight fluctuation in her divine eye. Fu Xuan thought for a moment and felt that it might be due to the calculations she made during their meeting yesterday. She adjusted herself and said to Ji Yuan, "Well, just pay attention to the time next time. Otherwise, I might have to learn how to catch the Blue Sparrow to catch you."

You can't calculate Ji Yuan's abilities, but you can still intimidate him.

"Hmm? Um... Lord Taibu, I am the Maritime Trade Officer of the Tianbo Bureau?"

I am not a diviner from your Taibu Si, why are you accusing me of slacking off?

Ji Yuan asked, puzzled.

"I've come here to inform you of something," Fu Xuan said to Ji Yuan. "The general has ordered me to sweep through the 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King' on the Luofu Immortal Ship. Given your outstanding performance in identifying the Bu Li people last time, I've specially appointed you as my deputy. Your reward for going to the Orion Merchant Guild will be combined with this reward."

Are you telling me to go find the 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King'?

Ji Yuan pointed to himself, looking somewhat incredulous.

This "Secret Transmission of the Medicine King" is not the same as Bu Liren. As long as Bu Liren doesn't die, he will still be Bu Liren a hundred years later. As for those people in the "Secret Transmission of the Medicine King," whether they are found to be from the "Secret Transmission of the Medicine King" or have become demonic beings, these cannot be used as a basis for judgment.

Regarding the possibility of transforming into a demonic form, in reality, many Cloud Cavalry soldiers on the front lines are easily transformed into demonic forms due to enemy attacks. To claim someone possesses a 'secret technique of the Medicine King' simply because they will transform into a demonic form a hundred years later is tantamount to falsely accusing a hero of being an enemy.

On the other hand, treating someone who is currently likely an ordinary Immortal Ship dweller as a criminal simply because they will become a member of the 'Secret Transmission of Medicine King' a hundred years later is purely a matter of birth.

"Well, I'm really not good at that. I can only see through Bu Liren's disguise."

"This is the General's order. Moreover, I also want to see your predictive abilities."

Fu Xuan crossed his arms and said.

Knowing it was Jing Yuan's order, Ji Yuan naturally didn't hesitate, knowing that the general must have had a deeper meaning in doing so. So after a moment's hesitation, he said to Fu Xuan, "I will try my best to do it, but the result may not necessarily satisfy you, Lord Fu Xuan."

"Just follow me. Come with me to the Taibu Temple today. When we officially start the operation tomorrow, you can bring that fox-woman girl named Tingyun who is by your side."

Fu Xuan nodded and was about to leave with Ji Yuan.

Bring Huanlong along?

What is the general going to do?

Hearing Fu Xuan's instructions, Ji Yuan still didn't quite understand.

He, Jing Yuan, and Fu Xuan were in the same camp, but their interests weren't entirely aligned. He even planned to risk everything to gain something for himself in the power struggle between Jing Yuan and Huan Long.

……

Meanwhile, at Luofu Immortal Ship, the Pill Cauldron Bureau.
