Standing in front of Xu Ziyan, watching the flowing spiritual light of the talisman on the table, Xu Haoran's heart skipped a beat.

This... this is a top-notch paper talisman

Xu Haoran looked up excitedly at Xu Ziyan and said.

What

Lin Ping's sea god's expression was suffocating, his eyes filled with disbelief. He strode towards Xu Ziyan's table, and when his gaze fell on the paper talisman on the table, his eyes immediately became dull. After a long time, he recovered from his daze and knelt silently in front of Xu Ziyan, nodding three times with a "dong! Dong! Dong!" before standing up and walking briskly outside. Although the footsteps were fast, it was obvious that there was some stumbling.

At this moment, Xu Haoran didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Pinghai's departure. Instead, he stared closely at Xu Ziyan and asked softly with a slightly nervous voice:

Master Xu, would you be willing to stay in our Xu family? I will immediately hire you as an elder to worship

Xu Ziyan shook her head lightly and said, "I just arrived in the capital city and don't know much about your family. Let me be the guest elder first! If we have a pleasant cooperation in the future, I don't mind joining the family and becoming a enshrined elder

Okay

Although Xu Haoran was somewhat disappointed in his heart, since Xu Ziyan could stay in the family as the guest elder, he had confidence in allowing Xu Ziyan to join his family in the future and become the enshrined elder of the Xu family. As long as you sincerely treat the girl with unlimited potential in front of you, you will definitely receive her loyalty.

So, Xu Haoran is very happy now and immediately hires Xu Ziyan as the guest elder. Then he had to personally arrange Xu Ziyan's residence. But what puzzled Xu Haoran was that Xu Ziyan did not choose the best house, but instead chose a very remote courtyard within the villa, and clearly informed Xu Haoran that she did not like to be disturbed by others.

Tell Xu Haoran and the others that they will go back to pick up their parents. As soon as he heard that Xu Ziyan was going to pick up her parents, Xu Haoran immediately dispatched four people from the fourth level of the Qi refining period to protect Xu Ziyan, and also sent six disciples from the clan to drive a carriage to take Xu Ziyan to pick up her parents. However, Xu Ziyan did not want her parents to be recognized by the family. One reason why she chose a remote courtyard was that she did not want her parents to be recognized by the family. She already knew from her father's few words about the ridicule he had received in the family back then. She was afraid that her parents would be ridiculed by the clan again. She wanted to wait until her cultivation level improved and she became the pride of her parents, so that they could stand up and recognize each other in the family. So, Xu Ziyan firmly resigned from the clan leader's arrangement, and in the end, Xu Haoran had no choice but to agree to Xu Ziyan. But after Xu Ziyan left, he still sent the four members of the fourth level of the Qi refining period to secretly protect Xu Ziyan. He didn't want to encounter any accidents when he finally recruited a talisman master.

Xu Ziyan walked out of the gate of the Xu family, turned back to look at the magnificent gate, and let out a gentle sigh. She never imagined that she would come into contact with her family so quickly. She didn't know if her father's identity would be exposed, but she thought it wouldn't be long before she concealed it.

Alas! Just keep it a secret for as long as possible

Snowflakes drifted in the sky, and soon it turned into a vast expanse of white. Xu Ziyan walked in the heavy snow, with snowflakes flying all over her body.

From a distance, I saw my parents standing at the door, eagerly waiting for me. Seeing my own figure, they supported each other and greeted me. Seeing her parents standing in the heavy snow, Xu Ziyan's heart warmed, but she also felt a little guilty. She didn't know what it was like for her father to know that she had become a guest minister in the family's elder council.

Parents walked up to Xu Ziyan, and her mother affectionately brushed away the snow from her body, saying pitifully:

Yan'er, you must be exhausted from coming back so late and walking all day

Entering the house amidst his mother's incessant chatter, his father silently followed beside him. Although he remained silent, his eyes were filled with love. Xu Ziyan looked at her kind parents and couldn't help but feel a little guilty as she said:

Today... today

Mother pursed her lips and smiled, "Yan'er, is it not enough money? Don't worry, today my mother found a job sewing clothes for people in a clothing store. She sewed five clothes in one day and earned a full fifteen copper coins! Your father also found a job at the dock and earned twenty copper coins today! When we save enough money, Yan'er can refine elixirs and paper talismans

Xu Ziyan looked at her parents with smiles on their faces, and her eyebrows were filled with excitement as she spoke. She couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart and forced a smile, saying:

Dad and mom are really good at it, it's useless to have a daughter

Xu Guang and his wife were taken aback for a moment, then said with a loving expression on their faces, "Yan'er, you are our daughter, and it is only natural for your parents to pay for you. Besides, it is not that you do not have it, but that your parents are useless. If our family had enough capital, how could Yan'er work so hard
