The words fell.

Lin Meizhen's eyes turned red again as tears streamed down.

Right!

There's still Qin Feng!

With him, there is this day, there is this land!

At this moment, Xiao Lian's eyes also moistened, saying, "Mom, it's the New Year, let's talk about something happy!"

"Yes, yes!"

Lin Meizhen also broke into a smile, immediately holding up the newly bought peanuts, melon seeds, and candy, sharing them with everyone.

Everyone was eating very happily.

...

The second day of the new year.

The entire village gradually flocked to Xiao Lian's home, some bringing gifts, others making apologies, everyone knew that a big shot had emerged from Xiao Lin Village, someone with enough clout to have the First Person of the Five Southwestern Provinces come in person.

The third day of the new year.

Folk from neighboring villages and distant relatives who couldn't normally be reached also came to Xiao Lin Village, curious to see what kind of big shot had emerged.

The fourth day of the new year.

Town and county leaders and other department heads also came down to the countryside, visiting Lin Meizhen.

The fifth day of the new year.

City leaders, filling an entire bus, also came to inspect the Xiaolin Resort project, but of course, most of the time was spent at Lin Meizhen's home...

The sixth day of the new year.

Xiao Lian and others couldn't bear having so many people at home every day, so they moved to the Waterside Impression Villa in the city ahead of time with Lin Meizhen and Yu Xiaolong, as Xiao Lin Village would be relocated after the new year, moving ahead to get accustomed.

At night.

The family ate dinner together, Lin Meizhen sighed, "Finally a quiet meal."

These days with so many people at home, it was chaotic.

But amidst the chaos, she felt happy and joyful inside.

"Mom."

Xiao Lian put down her chopsticks and said, "Tomorrow, we are leaving."

"Leaving?"

Lin Meizhen paused, looked at the calendar on the wall, and smiled, "Right, right, it's time for work tomorrow! Look at my memory, hehe, you guys better rest early tonight."

"Okay."

Xiao Lian smiled and got up to wash the dishes.

Yu Xiaolong reluctantly said, "Brother-in-law, you guys are leaving already! Oh, I wanted you to stay a few more days."

"Don't worry, we'll come back when we have time."

Qin Feng said with a smile, "Next time I come, let's see how well you do in exams, Wang Xiaolu is a good girl, you can't let her down."

"Of course!"

Sourced directly from *.

Yu Xiaolong patted his chest in assurance, "In a few years, I'll marry her!"

Lin Meizhen playfully slapped him and chided, "You little rascal, not focusing on your studies, always daydreaming! I warn you, no dating early!"

Saying that.

She then asked Qin Feng, "Who is this Wang Xiaolu?"

Yu Xiaolong quickly covered Qin Feng's mouth, saying, "Brother-in-law, don't tell, if she goes to Lu Lu's place, persuades her to focus on her studies and ignore me, you really can't tell!!"

...

Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Laughing and laughing.

It felt a bit bittersweet.

It seemed... this was the first time, he felt like he had a family...

At night.

Qin Feng lay alone in bed, staring at the starry sky through the window, lost in thought.

These past few days, though chaotic.

Were indeed the most peaceful time for him.

No killings.

No worries.

He too yearned for this simple and unadorned life.

"Unfortunately, heaven has destined me to be extraordinary..." Qin Feng sighed softly, preparing to turn over and sleep.

At this time.

Little Lian gently knocked on the door from outside.

After entering, Qin Feng asked, "What's the matter?"

Sitting down, Xiao Lian said, "Lord Dog contacted me today, saying he wants to take down the Hidden World powerhouses of several industries owned by the former Southwest Eight Kings. The action is set for tomorrow noon in Dragon Mountain City, and he also mentioned..."

"What else did he mention?" Qin Feng said.

Hesitating for a moment, Xiao Lian said, "He said, those people stated that you must be present, otherwise they will completely annihilate the Fengxi Group as well. It's because you took in Liang Jiuxiang, Tan Zhanhu, and others in advance, which turned their spearheads towards you."

"I see, no rush."

"Should we contact Dragon Sect, and call Phoenix, Little Ai, and Wang Zanggu from Five Rings Mountain as well?" Xiao Lian was somewhat worried and said, "According to Lord Dog, these people are no small matter."

"No need, the fighting power of the Dragon Sect only revolves around the 'Sharp Blade Group', but they are currently undergoing Devil's training. The situation in the mountains is still unstable. We'll see how things are after this matter is dealt with," Qin Feng explained.

"Then... just the two of us going?" Xiao Lian was puzzled.

"That's enough."

Qin Feng said indifferently.

"..."

Xiao Lian immediately felt embarrassed.

Although she only understood the unimaginable strength of Qin Feng, this time was different.

This time, Liang Jiuxiang, Tan Zhanhu, Yu Wanli, Qian Shaoyun, Gu Yuanshan, and Li Baigu, these six people were former members of the Southwest Eight Kings. Although their industries are halved, their combined influence is still very substantial.

Now they are being forced to seek refuge with Qin Feng, who has seized their family businesses.

That means.

Their opponents are unimaginably strong!

Therefore.

Was it too reckless for him to go alone this time?

"Don't worry, the opponent is no big shot," Qin Feng reassured her as she continued to worry.

"Why?" Lian Yi was curious.

"Because truly great characters would not resort to such means to grab business in the Mortal World. The truly great ones also have their own subsidiary industries in the Mortal World," Qin Feng explained to her, "For example, Heavenly King Mountain, Dragon King Hall, Supreme Dragon Gate, Holy Soul Hall, etc., these top forces all have their own industries globally."

"These..."

Xiao Lian gave a bitter smile and said, "I've never heard of them."

"You will hear about them later," Qin Feng continued, "It won't be long before we start dealing with them... So before that, we need to continue to develop ourselves."

"I see!"

Xiao Lian suddenly felt like a new door had opened.

Ever since she met Qin Feng, her knowledge had rapidly increased, and her understanding of the world was becoming more and more complex.

Now.

She didn't even know the names of the top powers.

Following him.

She could always see a different side of the world.

"Then... I'll go rest now."

Xiao Lian said.

Walking to the door.

She hesitated for a moment, turned back, and said, "I came to find you to say thanks. Thank you for everything you've done for me these past few days."

"Don't mention it, we're all family," Qin Feng said with a smile.

Hearing "all family," Xiao Lian's heart trembled slightly, feeling a trace of loss.

She knew that "all family" would soon no longer be the case.

Because it was all just a pretense…

Exiting the room.

Xiao Lian sighed softly, shook her head to clear her thoughts, and stopped her wild thoughts. She clenched her fist and said, "Cheer up! Follow him well, repay him..."

...

The next day.

Qin Feng and Xiao Lian said goodbye to Lin Meizhen and Yu Xiaolong.

When leaving.

Lin Meizhen and Yu Xiaolong were extremely reluctant, Qin Feng told them, "Don't worry, we'll come back!"

"You must come back, brother-in-law!"

Yu Xiaolong said reluctantly.

Lin Meizhen furthermore tightly held Xiao Lian's hand in Qin Feng's, saying, "I entrust her to you..."
