The living room was already in shambles.
Cai Rong clutched his chest, pointing at Cai Jinqu and shouting, "You unfilial son! Don't you see that what you have today was all built by my hard work?"
"That's what you deserve. This is all your fault. It's all this vixen's fault!"
Cai Jinqu didn't back down, retorting directly.
He had nowhere else to retreat.
Before, he had to compromise to maintain his status as the heir of Wuma Group. Now, that position was forever out of reach.
He had no more worries, no more direction.
Now, even the only place to prove he was alive had been taken by Zuo Ruxiu. He was disheartened, with nothing left to care about.
Whether he was filial or not was irrelevant; such a father didn't deserve filial children.
"What does this have to do with her? Your mother is already gone..."
"It's because of him that my mother... You still think you're not wrong, don't you?"
Cai Jinqu didn't know what he was saying, rambling incoherently.
His thoughts were chaotic. In this situation, he didn't know if he was trying to find reasons to lash out at Cai Rong or seeking revenge on Zuo Ruxiu.
Logically, revenge would have been the best option in this scenario.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." A quick, decisive end to everything.
But Cai Jinqu didn't. It was as if his mind was trapped by something, devoid of any useful tactics or practical stratagems.
In a word, he was mentally deranged.
Although Cai Rong's mind was clear, his chest pain caused him to exchange curses with Cai Jinqu intermittently.
He didn't know what he was angry about. He knew bringing Zuo Ruxiu home would lead to this result.
But Cai Jinqu had never dared to be so presumptuous before. He didn't know what was wrong with him this time, that he dared to curse back at him directly.
Cai Jinfu, however, didn't show any anger. He hid in a corner with his woman, watching the chaos in the living room.
His woman pleaded to leave several times, but Cai Jinfu stopped her.
All of this could be described with one word: "Chaos!"
It was too chaotic. Who could have imagined that behind this chaos were the efforts of many gods?
It was precisely because the souls interfered with their normal thinking that so many people lost their reason; and it was precisely because the souls departed that they were able to calm down from the chaotic disputes and gradually return to peace.
But what was meant to be would eventually happen, such is how the world was created.
...
The crisis was resolved, and the gods exchanged pleasantries with Liu Sandao.
There was more talk about origins and cultivation.
He hastily ended the slightly awkward scene and returned to his residence with Bai Suxiang.
"How did you find that place?"
Liu Sandao asked.
"What's so difficult about that? I just counted my fingers and I figured it out!"
Bai Suxiang feigned mystery.
Liu Sandao gave a noncommittal snort.
"Why didn't you call me when you went?"
Bai Suxiang turned around, leaning against Liu Sandao's desk, and questioned him.
"There wasn't enough time, and besides..."
Liu Sandao said, not fully expressing his thoughts.
In fact, each encounter with that visitor was very dangerous.
His current cultivation was not enough to contend with that visitor. It would have been inappropriate for Bai Suxiang to go.
"Besides what? Afraid I'd be a burden?"
Bai Suxiang didn't care if Liu Sandao's answer was well-considered, and continued his words directly.
"No..."
Before Liu Sandao could finish, Bai Suxiang stood up and paced around the room.
"You didn't expect me to help, did you?"
Bai Suxiang seemed a bit smug.
Liu Sandao was amused.
"Hahaha, yes!"
He thought they would be discussing a sad matter, but it turned out to be so dramatic, which was truly unexpected.
To be honest, if Bai Suxiang hadn't appeared in time and recited that incantation, they might not have been able to stop that visitor from seizing the lucky fruit.
"How did you discover that the phantom could deter that visitor?"
Liu Sandao suddenly became curious and asked.
"I, I don't know. I just saw your formation and suddenly remembered the incantation of 'Hao' God from last time, so I tried it. I didn't expect it to work so well!"
Bai Suxiang said, then happily took a step, looking like a little girl playing.
Liu Sandao chatted with Bai Suxiang while pondering this question.
There was a phantom, but it was different from when the phantom appeared last time.
There was no direct confrontation this time. Whether they could defeat that visitor was still uncertain.
That visitor was definitely scared by the phantom from last time, otherwise, he would never have backed down so easily.
Liu Sandao tried to recall every detail, comparing the timing and power of the two phantom appearances.
Logically, with such an incantation, the higher the magic power, the stronger the phantom's power.
Last time it was the eight-star guardian deity, "Hao" God. This time, the highest guardian deity was only seven-star, so his magic power would certainly not be as high.
Therefore, the phantom's power was limited.
If that visitor turned around and figured this out, he might make a comeback, and Liu Sandao would have to plan accordingly.
Bai Suxiang felt miraculous for the first time. If this continued, perhaps she could also become an immortal.
Despite her thoughts, she still went to work normally during the day.
As for how long this job would last, only Liu Sandao knew.
After Cai Jinqu's outburst, he had been quiet for quite some time.
For a long time, the company office remained quiet. Without the previous disturbances, many people felt a little unaccustomed.
Liu Sandao couldn't bother with these trivialities; he had to keep an eye on Cai Jinqu.
Because Xiao Hai's target was him.
Strangely enough, during this period, Xiao Hai had become completely silent. Bai Suxiang said that no matter how she called him, he didn't respond, which was very strange.
Perhaps, as long as they kept an eye on Cai Jinqu, they would get an answer.
Liu Sandao had to do work for Wuma Group while also watching Cai Jinqu, which meant he had to slack off during work hours.
Several times, Bai Suxiang covered for him.
To hide his identity, he had to accept criticism and education from his superiors, pretending that he desperately needed this job to support his family.
However, any peace in the office was temporary. And now, there was a new situation.
"Come, come!"
A Li called out to Bai Suxiang early in the morning.
Bai Suxiang had just returned to the front desk after getting a cup of water from the pantry when A Li waved at her.
"There's a new story. Do you want to hear it?"
A Li deliberately played coy.
Without Cai Jinqu's disturbances, there seemed to be much less going on in the office. Even the tasks assigned by Zuo Ruxiu were fewer than before, so Bai Suxiang had more time to listen to gossip.
"Mmm, hurry up and tell me!"
