Yin Yang Master (GL)

  Originally with no plans for the afternoon, Du Siling still couldn't idle around.

  Chen Zhou Rong and Zhou Bing Qian came to visit.

  "Let's have some tea." Feng poured two cups of tea for Chen Zhouyuan and Zhou Bingqian.

  For Fang Feng, Chen Zhou Yun is an old friend. He has been chasing her for many years and seems to have not given up yet. So she didn't show any politeness, just like before, still the same now. After all, they are at home, not at the police station.

  "What's up with you guys?" Du Sulin leaned lazily against the back of his chair, his long hair casually tied behind him, wearing a white robe, looking like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world.

  The study was filled with a soothing fragrance, accompanied by the scent of wood, giving it a unique style.

  "Taiguang, what do you think about the matter I discussed with you last time?" Chen Zhouwen knew that Du Silin didn't like to beat around the bush, so he directly stated his intention.

  "I won't attend." Du Sulin was straightforward and didn't even leave a way out for Chen Zhouyuan.

  "Taiguang, joining the government will have many special treatments..."

  "I'm not interested in special treatment." Just as Chen Zhou Yun was trying to persuade Du Si Lin, she cut him off.

  Special treatment from the government? But it's just a bit of police support and minimal legal leniency. She doesn't kill or set fires, so she doesn't need these things. And the identities of the people around her are basically all fake, she herself has long been on the edge of the law, where does she need the government to give her special treatment?

  "Master Taiguang... then how can you agree to this matter? You set the conditions, if they are acceptable, perhaps we will have a chance to cooperate." Zhou Bingqian, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

  "I don't have anything I want, nor any conditions. If you don't have anything else to do, then just go ahead." Du Sulin said calmly.

  "Taiguang Shifu, you are the successor of the Du family and have your brother Du Siyan's support, so you can be so carefree. But what if you didn't have Du Siyan's vast wealth to back you up? Even with your extraordinary abilities, you would have nowhere to use them." Zhou Bingqian picked up the purple sand teacup in front of her and took a light sip, "Pre-rain Longjing, still tender shoots. Good tea." She smiled at Fang Feng beside Du Silin.

  "Thank you for the compliment." Fang Feng smiled back, but it was clear to everyone that there was a hint of coolness in his smile.

  "What do you want to tell me?" Du Sulin's tone also cooled down, even colder than before, almost devoid of emotion.

  "I didn't mean anything else, Master Taiguang is a clever person, you know, sometimes the government will make small sacrifices for the greater good." Now that things have come to this point, Zhou Bingqian naturally wouldn't back down.

  Chen Zhou Yun's face was a bit stiff, and it was clear that Zhou Bing Qian's move was beyond his expectations. In any case, he would never do anything to betray his brother, let alone Du Si Yan, with whom he had grown up together since childhood.

  "What's your name?" At this time, Du Sulin's originally heavy coldness suddenly disappeared, and he lightly brought up another topic.

  "Master Taiguang, you're a busy person and often forget things. I'm Zhou Bingqian, we just met last night." Du Siling's attitude was slightly better, so Zhou Bingqian naturally wouldn't use the slightly threatening tone from earlier. In her opinion, her threat had been just right.

  "Age has taken its toll on my memory." Du Si Lin's slender fingers moved slightly, "As for your government's idea, I can only say that it is impossible. The Du family has never accepted outside disciples."

  "Couldn't Master Taiguang consider Mr. Du for a moment?" Zhou Bingqian was not giving up, even though Chen Zhouyuan was pulling her sleeve and signaling her to stop talking with his eyes, she couldn't help but continue.

  "The rules of the Du family cannot be changed by anyone. He is a member of the Du family and must unconditionally obey." said Du Silin.

  Rebuked by Du Si Lin, Zhou Bing Qian couldn't care less about her gentle lady demeanor, stood up and stared at Du Si Lin: "Rules are for the dead, not the living. Do you think you alone can solve all the paranormal cases in the world?"

  Du Sulin's eyelids lifted, and he glanced at Zhou Bingqian, who was somewhat displeased: "What you said is right, rules are dead, people are alive. However, as the future head of the Du family, I don't think there's anything wrong with this rule. Moreover, I might as well say it bluntly, the government has so much energy to put into the extremely rare paranormal events that you've discovered, but wouldn't it be better to put more heart into those countless unjust cases and unsolved cases that have been investigated for decades without any leads? If they could bring justice to those who have died, it would also reduce the resentment in the world."

  "Zhou Yun," Fang Feng suddenly spoke up, "we've been friends for over a decade, and Taitang is Siyan's younger sister - you should know her temperament. Today, you brought along an inexperienced but arrogant young friend, are they here to test our patience or what? Not to mention the favors Du family has done for your Chen family in the past, especially when Taitang saved your younger sister back then, how could you let this... Miss Zhou, is it? ...be so insolent here?"

  "I... against the wind, you listen to my explanation... I..." Chen Zhou Yun stared at that pair of resentful eyes, but "I" was stuck for half a day and couldn't say anything.

  "Little kid? How many years older than me are you?" Zhou Bingqian's hidden spoiled temper suddenly emerged, and judging from her attitude, her family background must have been very good at that time, otherwise she wouldn't have developed such an unforgiving mouth.

  "Hmm... let me think..." Fang Feng Duan was stunned, "If I subtract the extra years, I should be around 300 years old, which means I'm only a bit over 200 years older than you."

  Du Sulin smiled, and Fang Feng's move was a silly trick that Jing Ji often used. At her age of over 300 years old, she could be the grandmother of Zhou Bingqian several times.

  "You... you're lying... how can you live so long..." Zhou Bingqian naturally saw that shallow smile on Du Siling's face, and although Fengfeng's words were off the mark, she believed them anyway.

  "What's wrong with the way I speak? Peng Zu can live for over 800 years, and I've only lived for a little over 300 years. How can you say I'm old? I haven't lived enough yet!" Fang Feng glared at Zhou Bingqian with her usual condescending and arrogant expression, showing off her elderly yet stubborn demeanor.

  "Protect the wind, Taito, don't get angry." Chen Zhou Yun also stared at Zhou Bing Qian, "You don't know, that zombie lost control again this morning. The higher-ups are extremely furious, and according to experts' detection of the deceased's body, it was found that her brain had long been dead, but the cells in her body were still proliferating without restriction. This is a discovery that has overturned many theories. So..."

  "So, it's those so-called scientists who proposed to the government that they want to capture a few more zombies for in-depth research, but they're also afraid of losing control and posing a threat to their personal safety. That's why they advocate for the establishment of a special task force, which is the government's main goal, right?

  Feng Wind continued Chen Zhou Yun's "so" and went on, "Zhou Yun, regarding these supernatural things, you should be much clearer than them about it. What if one day, they discover that I'm not a normal person, will you also bring people to catch me?"

  "No way, I won't do that!" Chen Zhou Yun immediately denied Feng's words without hesitation.

  "Yes, I believe you won't do that, but can't guarantee others won't," Feng said. "Once these spells are spread out, if they fall into the wrong hands, more people will get hurt. At that time, even if you don't want to, there's no way to stop it. Moreover, those who haven't been trained since childhood can only deal with the lowest-level zombies or ghosts. Tai Guang refused you all because he doesn't want innocent people to die in vain. Hope you understand."

  "Sorry, I didn't understand enough. It was my fault." Chen Zhou's tone was very low, and this time, he finally felt the distance between himself and Fang Feng. Even though they were only a few dozen centimeters apart at the moment, it seemed like they couldn't intersect no matter what. In front of him, Fang Feng was always so rational and considerate.

  They can really only be friends.

  "Against the wind..." The door of the study was opened and Jing Ji called out with a poking head.

  "What's wrong, sneaking around?" Fangfeng waved at Jingji, who stuck out his tongue and came in obediently, sitting down beside Fangfeng.

  "I'm fine, the kitchen is just a bit of a mess..." she said softly.

  "Kitchen... why doesn't the kitchen seem quite right?" Feng continued to ask.

  "Jing Jie, this kitchen isn't quite suitable for you..." Du Si Lin also tactfully expressed his own thoughts from the side.

  "No, failure is the mother of success. I will definitely become a gourmet who can make a perfect Manchu-Han full course meal!" Jing Jie said firmly with her small fist clenched as she walked back to Du Si Lin.

  "I'll go to the kitchen for a while to clean up, you go take a look at how the egg tarts are doing." Feng Wind gently stroked Jing Xi's hair and cooed softly.

  "Alright, then you'd better fix the kitchen quickly, I still want to continue practicing my cooking skills!" Jing Jie stuck out her tongue again, opened the door and slipped away in a flash.

  "Is she Prunus mume?" Chen Zhouwen stared blankly at the already closed door and asked absent-mindedly.

  "Hmm, but she's now called Jing Jie." Fang Feng nodded.

  "Smartweed..." Chen Zhou Yun revealed a relieved expression, "smartweed, windproof, haha." He forced out a smile.

  "Bing Qian, let's go." Chen Zhou Yun said to Zhou Bing Qian.

  "Brother, is it just going to end like this? How are we going to explain ourselves when we get back?" Zhou Bingqian still had an unsatisfied look on her face.

  "I'll take over." Chen Zhouyuan said succinctly.

  "What are you going to do? How are you going to explain?" Zhou Bingqian shook off Chen Zhouyuan's hand and walked a few steps to stand in front of Fang Feng and Du Silin. "One of you is my brother's sworn brother's sister, and the other is his friend of over a decade. Do you know what will happen if my brother fails to complete his task? My aunt and uncle's careers will be ruined, and they might even lose their official positions due to dereliction of duty!"

  "Shut up, Bing Qian!" Chen Zhou Yun shouted at Zhou Bing Qian.

  Zhou Bingqian, Zhou. Fāng fēng xīn zhōng liǎo rán, kàn lái zhè zhōu bīng qiān shì chén zhōu yún de táng mèi.

  "You think," the door suddenly opened, Xiao Qingzhu's hands were clasped in front of her chest, but the aura on her body made Zhou Bingqian swallow back what she was about to say. "Is your uncle and brother's career important or is an innocent person's life important?" Her words left Zhou Bingqian speechless and unable to refute. Indeed, wealth and power are just external things that one cannot bring with them when they die, incomparable to a life.

  "You can say such things because perhaps the people who have no hope of advancing in their careers are your cousins and uncles. There's even a possibility that it involves your parents. And the lives of those innocent people, to you, are just unrelated to you." Xiao Qingzhu smiled, "Am I right, Miss Zhou?" Her polite demeanor made one unable to get angry, and also left one speechless.

  "I..." Zhou Bingqian hesitated and looked up at Chen Zhouyuan, but he didn't seem to want to help her out.

  "There's still one more thing, perhaps Miss Zhou didn't mention it." Xiao Qingzhu slowly walked to Du Siling's side, held Du Siling's hand, and naturally their fingers intertwined, a pair of slender fingers seemingly meant to be together, perfectly natural.

  The two of them smiled at each other, and Zhou Bingqian's eyes fluttered. She had never seen such a perfect woman, so beautiful that it was hard to forget. And yet, standing beside Du Siling, she looked so gentle. Du Siling's smile was also different from before, a smile that came from the heart, calm and composed.

  "On that day, Si Lin saved not only Chen Zhou Ting at the music academy, but also her cousin, who is you, Miss Zhou. Am I right?" Xiao Qing Zhu asked with a smile.

  These Duslin naturally did not know, she even Chen Zhou Ting's appearance has become blurred. How could she remember the unfamiliar Zhou Bingqian?

  "Does Miss Zhou also think that eliminating evil is her responsibility, so she naturally accepted this lifesaving grace without even saying thank you, and instead came to my home to coerce me into doing things that are beyond my duties?"

  Feng couldn't help but secretly admire him, and compared with Xiao Qingzhu, Du Siling was still far behind.

  "Th-thank you... thank you!" Zhou Bingqian's face turned red, she had never felt so ashamed in her life.

  Du Sulin gave a thumbs up to Xiao Qingzhu in secret, and Xiao Qingzhu looked at her with an expression that seemed to say "You must be fierce."

  "Hehe......" Xiao Qingzhu still had that seemingly affable smile, "You two should still have things to do at the police station, I won't keep you from staying for dinner."

  "Take this and stick it on the zombie's forehead, she won't have any attacking power anymore. However, out of respect for the deceased, I hope you will cremate her. Her name is Li Tao, the police should be able to find her family to claim the body." Du Sulin handed a yellow talisman to Chen Zhouyuan.

  "Thank you......" Chen Zhou Yun took over the yellow talisman and said heavily.

  "By the way, when the zombies were out of control, how did you guys manage to get them under control?" Du Silin suddenly asked as Chen Zhou Yun led Zhou Bing Qian out of the study.

  "It was Xiāo Zǐ who used force to suppress it. A large dose of anesthetic was administered, but the zombie's cellular metabolism is very fast, so it can only be controlled by repeated injections of anesthesia." Chen Zhouwen replied.

  "Wasn't that talisman originally yours?" Du Si Lin nodded as if it was obvious.

  "It was just a moment of curiosity... Fortunately, Haozi Ge was by my side at that time..." Zhou Bingqian lowered her head and finally took a sneak peek at Xiao Qingzhu.

  "Don't take the token down again. Also, let Haozi follow me for a while. If he passes my test, I'll consider taking him on as an apprentice. This is my biggest compromise with the government."

  The author has something to say: I'm back with a sigh of relief, wiping the floor is so tiring.

  Cough cough, I think Qing Zhu sister's ability to smile while talking but can kill people is really formidable, no wonder Tai Guang little master was eaten to death.

  Jing Ge's cooking skills might not be enough to make a full Manchu banquet, but he can barely manage to make some scallion and tofu dish... won't starve to death. It's just that poor little kitchen...

  Alright alright, two updates today!

  Let me add one more sentence, this sentence is absolutely not nonsense. The judge is not allowed to be a tyrant, nor is the overlord, otherwise others will roll all over the ground.
