Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the factory gate without waiting for Sha Zhu to open his mouth, his back view was crisp and neat.

Lou Bancheng and the new factory director stood side by side, watching Lin Quan walk away. They exchanged a glance, then turned to Director Wang and asked in low voices:

"Director Wang, who was that young man just now...?"

Director Wang watched Lin Quan's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips, and answered frankly:

"My own nephew."

"His parents fought alongside me, sharing guns and braving fires; the whole family are renowned heroes."

"It's a pity that something went wrong during the last mission, and my two old comrades-in-arms couldn't come back. Now, only this kid is left to carry the burden alone..."

"Even so, his name is still on the list of those specially approved by the authorities—a first-class merit, the real deal."

She knew better than anyone the significance of that medal.

The key factor that propelled her from deputy director to director was Lin Quan's intervention.

Not to mention the bond they formed in their early years, where they entrusted each other with their lives, she had long regarded Lin Quan as her own flesh and blood; the kindness shown to her this time alone was enough for her to remember in her heart.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one rank between a deputy director and a director. Some people spend ten years trying to even get close to that position. Without real skills and solid foundation, you'll be stuck at the threshold your whole life!

After giving a few instructions, Director Wang stopped talking and changed the subject, getting straight to the point:

"I'm here today because of this child."

"His name is He Yuzhu, and his father is He Daqing."

He got straight to the point, making his intentions clear in just a few words.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately replied, "How could we trouble Director Wang to make this trip himself for such a small matter!"

"He Daqing used to be a pillar of our factory canteen. He's gone, but his position is still valid!"

"I'll take the young apprentice to complete the formalities right away!"

Without saying a word, Lou Bancheng raised his hand and led Sha Zhu to the personnel department, personally overseeing the process, stamping and signing documents without any ambiguity.

Once Sha Zhu's matter was settled, Director Wang exchanged a few pleasantries with the new factory director, then bowed and took his leave, swiftly departing the steel rolling mill.

At the same time, Chen Xueru took He Yushui's hand and entered her family's silk shop.

At her call, the tailor and his assistant immediately surrounded her, quickly measuring, taking notes, and drawing patterns.

In one go, he ordered five new outfits for the girl—the fabric was soft and fine, the colors were bright, and the stitching was dense.

This girl was sensible and quiet, and Chen Xueru found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

And what about herself? From an ordinary girl, she stepped into the peak of the Innate Realm in a short period of time, and her cultivation was as deep as the ocean.

Coupled with Lin Quan's unpredictable methods, Chen Xueru, who used to count copper coins until midnight, has quietly changed.

For her, money is nothing but fleeting clouds and flowing water.

That makes sense when you think about it—if you have mountains of gold and silver at home, who would care about a few coins?

If Lin Quan hadn't given him a heads-up: money is not a problem, but you need to have a legitimate source of income to avoid attracting envy and causing trouble.

Coincidentally, her silk shop had a clean record and a thriving business, which became the perfect cover for the Lin family's wealth.

Otherwise, given her current state of mind, she probably wouldn't even want to look at the shop sign again.

Even so, she had long since handed over all the affairs of the shop to trusted chefs and employees, only occasionally showing her face and nodding in response.

All Chen Xueru had to do was come to the shop once every two weeks to take inventory of the goods and check the accounts.

"Sister Xue Ru, I..."

Not only did Chen Xueru tailor clothes for He Yushui, but she also picked out three ready-made outfits and stuffed them into He Yushui's arms.

When the little girl came out after changing her clothes, her face was as red as a freshly steamed peach, her eyelids were drooping, and she didn't even dare to glance at Chen Xueru out of the corner of her eye.

"Come on, let your older sister take a good look—"

Before she finished speaking, Chen Xueru had already stepped forward and examined her inch by inch, from her hair to the tips of her shoes.

Both He Daqing and his son exuded a premature weariness between their brows, as if they had grown up before they had grown up.

But He Yushui is a beautiful young woman in the making.

There are faint traces of He Daqing in her eyes and brows, but she looks more like her mother—clear eyes, a straight and delicate nose, and lips with just the right amount of moisture.

Not to mention that before He Daqing left home, she ate plenty of oily food at every meal and was well-proportioned and strong.

Now, standing there, there is no trace of the drab and timid appearance he had before.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Chen Xueru nodded in satisfaction, picked up the three sets of new clothes, whispered a few words to the shop assistant behind the counter, then took the little girl's hand and strolled slowly towards Tongluoguxiang.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw Lin Quan sitting in the courtyard, holding a celadon cup and slowly sipping a cup of hot tea.

"Tsk...this little guy is much more pleasing to the eye than before."

As soon as Lin Quan's gaze fell upon her, Xiao Yushui immediately stood on tiptoe and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Brother Lin Quan!"

Don't underestimate her just because she's only six or seven years old. These days, children learn manners at three, remember things at five, and can already have half a heart by seven.

If Lin Quan hadn't helped, let alone new clothes and a full meal, he probably wouldn't have even been able to get a seat by the stove and would have been starving!

Chen Xueru sat down opposite Lin Quan, still unable to resist asking, "Husband, how will we settle this child from now on?"

Lin Quan hesitated for a moment, then said in a steady voice, "It's time for her to start her education. Send her to school."

"Let her come over on Saturdays and Sundays to relax and have some time to unwind."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru immediately agreed and even offered, "I'll take care of it. I'll prepare everything for her, including the school, tuition, and schoolbag."

Lin Quan didn't say much, only nodded slightly, and added, "Try to cultivate more when you have free time."

"Don't go to the neighbor's yard yet—wait for Sha Zhu to come back and pick them up personally."

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and went back to the house. With a slight movement, he leaped into the high-martial arts world where Li Hanyi was.

Swah——

The mountain scenery suddenly changed, and a pavilion atop the Cangshan Mountain came into view.

Li Hanyi sat upright in the pavilion, eyes closed and mind focused. As her attack techniques flowed, the surrounding spiritual energy surged silently like streams flowing into the sea.

In a short while, a visible vortex of spiritual energy quietly formed above her head, causing the surrounding area to churn and the vegetation to tremble.

Lin Quan quietly probed the energy within her body—

In terms of cultivation, he was still inferior; but in terms of the depth of his understanding of the "Scripture of Immortality and Longevity," no one in the world could match him.

At this moment, Li Hanyi's aura has completely transformed, with his hidden acupoints opening one after another, and his breath becoming thick and long.

Without taking the Hundred Treasures Pill, relying solely on her own Great Free and Unfettered Realm foundation, she not only refined the eighth soul ring in just a few days, but also opened up several hidden acupoints in one go!

"Tsk tsk tsk... As expected of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal!"

In terms of innate talent alone, before consuming the crystal core, she was already among the top tier in the world of high martial arts—the only ones who could compare to her were Baili Dongjun's innate martial veins and Dao Jianxian's ten-thousand-year-old sword heart; above them, there was only her master Li Changsheng and the Mo Yi Immortal from Penglai Immortal Island.

Now, with the crystal core cleansing and reshaping, his talent has reached its peak.

In terms of innate talent for cultivation, it is no exaggeration to say that she is number one in the entire world of martial arts!
