Chapter 44: Chapter 44: As Long As He Doesn’t Get Beaten

The Mountain Ghost slipped into the painting, and soon the family of four within it disappeared.

Yun Qiuce rolled up the scroll and held it in his arms.

Xu Shixiong was heavily impacted, feeling a bit of a headache.

Xu Leiyue brought him some calming medication, urging him to take it and get some sleep.

In the living room, Mo Wanting and Xu Xueyan were both holding a glass of water, their expressions wooden.

Yun Qi sat on the sofa, leisurely swinging her legs and munching on ice cream, having plenty of patience to wait for the parties involved to accept reality.

After a long while, Mo Wanting finally sighed.

From past experiences, Yun Qi knew that meant she had finally figured things out and wouldn’t get stuck on a point anymore.

"No matter what, our family’s lives are not in danger, thanks to the Little Master," Mo Wanting said.

"Hmm, it’s best if you think that way. I only handle demon suppression, your family matters are none of my concern," Yun Qi said, tilting her head and speaking earnestly.

Mo Wanting gave a bitter smile; she understood what Yun Qi meant.

Once Xu Shixiong woke up, some matters would need to be resolved behind closed doors.

"But that painting, I remember it seemed to be a gift from someone, what was it called again..."

Yun Qi paused and swiftly said, "Everything has its cause and meeting; the trouble you’ve encountered today still stems from your own doing. That Mountain Ghost is quite wild, and no one could have imagined using this method to harm others. So look within yourselves for the problem and don’t drag others into it."

Mo Wanting quickly stopped her thoughts, bowed respectfully, and said, "The Little Master is right, I understand."

"Okay then." Yun Qi jumped briskly off the sofa, "Caught the Mountain Ghost for you, so pay 1 million. My uncle’s nose got swollen from the fight, so we won’t hassle you about medical expenses."

Mo Wanting felt it was a bit of a high demand but still respectfully instructed Xu Leiyue to transfer the money.

Then she tried enthusiastically to keep Yun Qi for lunch.

Yun Qi knew that there would be chaos in that family later, so she declined the invitation and left with Yun Qiuce.

Back home, the Old Master was pacing around anxiously.

"When did the Little Miss leave? Not a single person informed me?!"

The butler kept his head down, not daring to speak.

It was Yun Qiuce who didn’t allow him to say anything. He was just a butler, and he found it quite difficult.

"That brat Yun Qiuce, Qi just got home for a few days, and he’s already whisked her away multiple times. When I get back..."

Before he could finish, a sweet little voice called out, "Grandpa!"

The Old Master instinctively responded, "Aye—"

Poof!

A Little Milk Dumpling flew into his arms like a little butterfly. Her little body was soft and carried a faint milky scent.

The Old Master felt his heart melt to a puddle, quickly picked up his granddaughter, and hadn’t even spoken yet.

Smooch—her soft cherry lips landed a kiss on his face.

The Old Master was instantly dazed by the kiss, and all the resentment in his heart dissipated in an instant. He happily hugged his little granddaughter.

With the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yun Qiuce, and asked indifferently, "What happened to your face?"

Yun Qiuce was moved; his father did care about him after all, just as he was about to speak.

The Old Master turned around and went inside.

Yun Qiuce: ...

Oh well, as long as he doesn’t get beaten, it’s fine.

Back in her room, all sorts of snacks were prepared.

Yun Qi grabbed a bun in her left hand and cheese in her right, eating with great relish.

The Old Master watched his little granddaughter with a smile, "Qi, went out early in the morning and made some money again?"

"Hmm." Her voice was crisp, with no hint of concealment.

"Good, good. You’re talented and you enjoy this line of work, Grandpa doesn’t object. Just remember to take care of your health. Kids need to eat more and sleep more to grow tall."

Yun Qiuce was nibbling on the side, burst into laughter at these words, and mockingly echoed the Old Master in a strange tone, "Grow tall... hahaha, how can someone so old grow tall..."

The Old Master gave him a whack with his cane, "Do you really think I won’t beat you?"

Yun Qiuce lowered his head and obediently ate his meal.

"Dad, how come we haven’t seen Yun Ying lately?"

"She’s busy with that case from Section 49, leaving early and coming back late; aren’t you all the same? During summer vacation, it’s just me at home with no one to talk to."

Just then, Yun Ying walked in.
