Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

Bai Lan: "Mom, what do you think of Ning Qifeng?"

"He's a good boy, but your little sister has never been interested in him." Grandma shook her head helplessly.

"I think Father likes this boy quite a bit."

Bai Lan craned her neck to peer into the hall.

In the hall, Father was holding Ning Qifeng's hand, chatting animatedly.

Ning Qifeng sat properly, nodding vigorously at every word his father spoke, his face bearing the standard harmless, sunny smile.

Following Bai Lan's gaze, the mother peeked inside.

Seeing his wife's overly enthusiastic attitude, as if she wanted to adopt him as her godson on the spot, he immediately snorted coldly: "What does he know?"

"Let's go, we have guests here, let's go back first."

The old woman composed herself, regaining her dignified demeanor as the village matriarch, and strode towards the main hall.

Bai Lan touched her nose from behind, thinking to herself, "Father, may you have good luck."

Meanwhile, downstairs in the old family compound in Jiangcheng.

A parking lot not far away.

Xu Yi was standing under the shade of a tree, kicking the pebbles on the roadside with some impatience, his left hand gripping his phone tightly.

A short while later, a black luxury car executed a stylish drift and came to a smooth stop in front of Xu Yi.

The car window rolled down, Xu Qin took off her sunglasses, and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Are you sure you don't need your older sister to come with you? You're all alone, and you even have a shoulder injury. I'm really worried you'll get rejected."

"No need." Xu Yi shook his head and took the car keys from Xu Qin.

"This is between Ling'er and me, I'll handle it myself. If I don't even have this much courage, how can I be her pillar of support in the future?"

"Alright, you've got guts, kid." Xu Qin nodded.

There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. He truly was her younger brother!

She then asked, "By the way, where is Ling'er's hometown?"

"Xiangxi." Xu Yi opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

"Xiangxi? The mountain roads there are winding and twisting, so be careful while driving," Xu Qin reminded her.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll talk to Mom and Dad."

Xu Yi's hand trembled as he fastened his seatbelt, and he immediately begged for mercy.

"Sis, don't... don't tell Mom and Dad. It's not even close to happening yet. What if I get kicked out before I even get inside? That would be so embarrassing. I'll give them a big surprise once I bring Ling'er back."

Xu Qin rolled her eyes.

"Alright, look how cowardly you are. Hurry up, don't keep the girl waiting."

Xu Yi drove straight to Jiangcheng's largest high-end shopping mall.

The 80,000 yuan was quickly spent amidst the beeping of the cash register.

The trunk was instantly filled with Moutai, Wuliangye, and boxes of high-end cigarettes.

The main point is that even if you get beaten up for showing up, your manners must be impeccable.

Sitting back in the driver's seat, Xu Yi looked at the long, winding red route on the navigation screen and took a deep breath.

"Let's go! Ling'er, wait for me!"

He stepped on the gas and sped off towards the mountains of western Hunan.

Meanwhile, Xu Qin returned home in high heels.

As soon as I entered the door, my mom came over, her face full of gossip.

They couldn't wait to find out about the battle situation.

"How's it going? How's it going? Aunt Zhang's nephew, is he getting along well?"

As Xu Qin changed her shoes, she sighed in despair, "Mom, can you please stop finding me this weirdo? Is this a blind date or an archaeological dig?"

Mom was taken aback: "How can you talk like that?"

"That nephew looks older than my dad; his hairline has receded all the way back to Shanhaiguan."

Xu Qin threw her bag onto the sofa, speechless.

"That's not a nephew, that's an uncle. The first thing he said was that I should return to my family. I suspect he missed the Qing Dynasty when it fell."

My mother felt a little guilty.

"Really? I've seen the photos, he looks like a very energetic young man."

As she spoke, her mother, unwilling to give up, took out her phone and showed Xu Qin photos of her blind date.

"Look at him, isn't he a handsome and talented man?"

Xu Qin leaned over for a glance and gave a cold laugh.

"It's either photoshopped, or he's using other people's photos to fool those easily embarrassed young girls. Anyway, this photo has nothing to do with him."

"Mom, if you keep believing these kinds of photos, your daughter will really be left alone for the rest of her life."

"I feel like if I encounter a few more of these weirdos, I'll develop a physical aversion to men!"

Mom awkwardly put her phone away.

"Okay, okay, it's Mom's fault for not keeping a close eye on things."

Then he looked around and changed the subject.

"By the way, where's Xiao Yi? He called earlier saying he was going to visit you, why didn't he come back with you?"

"Oh, he went back to school, right? He said he had some urgent schoolwork to deal with and rushed back overnight."

Xu Qin continued lying without changing her expression, silently giving her younger brother a thumbs up in her heart.

"Oh, I see. Why is this child so studious lately?" Mom muttered.

I asked him to come home for the weekend before, and he said he wanted to study.

Preparing for exams or something.

Xu Qin glanced at her watch and stood up as well: "Yeah, Mom, I have to go back too. I have a bunch of reports waiting for my approval at the company."

"Okay, drive carefully on the road."

"Oh, right," Xu Qin said, stopping abruptly as she walked to the door.

"I can borrow the keys to the spare car my dad bought. I'll take it to get it serviced, and I'll bring it back to you next week when I'm free."

"Okay, the key is in the drawer of the entryway cabinet. Get it yourself."

My mother didn't think much of it and waved her hand.

"Mom, I'm off then."

Xu Qin took the keys, went downstairs, and got into the unassuming white Volkswagen.

She didn't rush to start the car.

Instead, he calmly opened his phone and skillfully accessed a hidden private application.

On the screen, a red dot representing the location is flashing and moving rapidly along the highway, heading towards western Hunan.

This was a GPS tracker she had installed in the car for safety reasons.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy here today.

As her older sister, she was still a little worried about him going alone.

The Xiangxi region is characterized by high mountains and long roads.

Ling'er's older brother injured Xu Yi's shoulder with a single blow; he's clearly not someone easy to get along with.

Anyway, I'm free this weekend, so I might as well go and have a look around, consider it a road trip to relax.

Moreover, she wanted to see Ling'er's older brother for herself.

Just what kind of extraordinary person is he, with three heads and six arms?

Isn't this a sign of looking down on your younger brother?

No one but herself can bully her younger brother!

Xu Qin stepped on the gas.

The white scooter silently followed the trajectory of Xu Yina's car.
