Why did you provoke me?

Looking at the string of "received," Liu Wei had a sudden realization: it seemed that the desire to cause trouble was ingrained in everyone's genes.

Jingyi made a ready gesture, and as a result, more than ten lines were ready.

Suddenly, one of Cang Yunyi's men screamed and fell to the ground.

Cang Yunyi suddenly turned around, "You've broken the rules?"

As they were talking, one of the people from the Yan Palace also fell to the ground.

Cang Yunyi's eyes widened. What was going on? His men hadn't made a move!

Before he could react, the lines were already hovering above his head; the people from the Underworld no longer needed to make excuses.

"You guys are really bullying us." The domineering tone came from behind, sounding very angry. But her figure didn't match the domineering tone.

"that's all?"

Yan Dian saw through Cang Yunyi's outward strength but inner weakness and launched an attack directly.

Liu Wei and Jing Yi exchanged a glance. Why did they have so many lines? And why wasn't Cang Yunyi using a weapon?

Yu Meng and Niannian quickly emerged from the dense forest.

Niannian pouted, "Can't you just let me have my way? It's always like this."

"It's not that I'm not letting you have the chance, but shouldn't I let you see your potential for improvement?" Yu Meng replied with a smile.

Niannian found a big tree, sat in the shade, and began fiddling with the alien. "This Captain Xiao is really slow."

"How fast can they walk, given their injuries and illnesses?" Yu Meng sat down next to Niannian.

Gazing at the distant sky, Yu Meng was somewhat lost in thought. A few white clouds drifted across the blue sky, and in the distance, gently undulating mountains rose and fell. The scenery was no different from the outside world, yet this was a paradise for aliens.

What's even stranger is that she doesn't feel any discomfort here. In fact, she feels very comfortable. She has a feeling of wanting to stretch out her entire body.

As her thoughts drifted away, Yu Meng couldn't help but wonder, "Could there be humans living in such a wonderful place?"

The vibration of the communication bell interrupted Yu Meng's reverie.

"Teacher Yu, how are things on your end?" Secretary Wu asked in a deliberately low voice.

"I'm fine. Is there something you need?"

"Yes, the head of the Jia family has arrived."

"Who? Who did you say is here?" Yu Meng's voice rose.

"Is that what you think? Jing San came back too. Jia Daoyi wants to see you."

"What happened? Jing San should be a sensible person."

"Jing San shook his head, saying it was too tragic, and if I didn't save them, the family would be ruined. He sent me a message saying that fate had played a cruel trick on them, and the Jia family was almost completely wiped out."

"Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back."

Niannian looked at Yu Meng, "Shall we leave now?"

"Send a message to Xiao Wen, we're heading back now." Yu Meng stood up. "Jia Daoyi, the head of the Jia family, has arrived."

"Oh, how did he know about us?"

"You think those reclusive families are just a name? I'm even surprised by their current pace."

"Will they fight?" Niannian asked, a little excited.

"Probably not. The clan chief is here; it must be a big deal."

Back at Jingchuan Club, Qian Chuan was standing in the guardhouse. He saw Yu Meng return through the window and hurriedly came out to greet her.

"Secretary Wu asked me to wait for you here. He's talking to that old man."

Yu Meng glanced at him. "You have a problem with him?"

"No, it's just that he's too arrogant. He offended Aunt Qing."

"What's wrong with Aunt Qing?" Yu Meng stopped and turned to walk towards Qingyuan's experimental garden.

Qian Chuan followed, a slight smile playing on his lips. Nian Nian watched his expression, poking him with his finger. "Settling a personal score?"

Qian Chuan's lips slowly curved into a smile. "How could that be? You know how important Aunt Qing is. If she's in a bad mood, the research progress will slow down, and that will affect so many people. Who can take responsibility for that?"

Nian Nian gave a thumbs up in admiration for this reason.

Qingyuan wasn't as serious as Qian Chuan had made it out to be. Yu Meng sat in front of her and said, "Who made you angry? I'll get revenge for you."

Qingyuan glanced at Qian Chuan and said, "What he said is true, and I can't refute it."

Qian Chuan poured the tea and then went out.

"They brought their family's bone-drawing artisans, and their lines were all faulty. I went to see them, but I couldn't find the cause or fix it. It's really not their fault."

"What? The lines are messed up? How is that possible?" Nian Nian stood up in surprise.

Qingyuan nodded affirmatively, "I don't know why, but their figures are like those of malnourished people, thin and small, and most importantly, they themselves are weak and powerless."

Niannian covered her mouth and looked at Yu Meng. "Could it be that the energy of the lines has been absorbed?"

"No." Qingyuan looked at Yu Meng. "Jingyi and the others' lines were also absorbed by Xiaohui, but they didn't look like this."

"Then let them donate one, we'll study it, and we'll let them know when we have the results."

"You're oversimplifying things. Who would willingly sacrifice their own lines for you to study?" Qingyuan said with a wry smile.

Yu Meng stood up. "Let's go take a look." She understood what Qian Chuan meant; he wanted her to know about this so she could be prepared.

This clubhouse is really good at nurturing people; it actually harbors such a clever individual.

Qian Chuan stood outside the door. Seeing them come out, he naturally followed behind. Yu Meng was even more satisfied.

In the reception room, Jia Daoyi sat upright with his eyes slightly closed. His men stood in a row, exuding an imposing aura.

Secretary Wu was under a lot of pressure, but he had to stay with him. Jing San sat in the seat next to him without saying a word.

Secretary Wu glanced at Jing San, who shook her head. Just wait!

Secretary Wu was about to curse. Guests are guests, how could he just sit there? Besides, this was a reclusive family, even if they were down on their luck, they shouldn't be neglected.

Secretary Wu's legs were numb from sitting so long. He tried to change his position, but as soon as he moved, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to him. He could only smile awkwardly and move back to his original position.

When Yu Meng and her group entered, Secretary Wu and Jing San both stood up. "Teacher Yu!"

Yu Meng's mask was not removed, so all Jia Daoyi saw was a smiling face.

Yu Meng nodded and sat down in the main seat. Niannian then sat down in the chair next to her.

"Hurry up and bring some tea, I'm dying of thirst," Niannian called to Jingsan.

The tense atmosphere eased because of this sentence.

Yu Meng was also thirsty, so she picked up her teacup and took a big gulp. She put down the teacup and looked at Jia Daoyi.

"My work is simple and I apologize for the inconvenience."

"Are you in charge here?" Jia Dao asked in surprise, judging from the voice that the man was not very old.

"Yes, that contract was also signed with me." Yu Meng directly clarified their relationship.

Jia Dao leaned forward. "We acknowledge the contract. But can you help us resolve this problem?"

"Clan chief?"

Jia Dao waved his hand, saying that if they didn't solve the problem of the bone painters, their downfall was only a matter of time. However, this matter could not be exposed, otherwise countless people would come to divide up this pie.

Yu Meng nodded, "As long as you cooperate, we will do our best."
