The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

Tu Xingzhu and Lu Nanxing were still a little depressed when they returned to the tribe.

He did the work during this trip, but ended up not getting a penny.

Sitting in the car, he glanced at Lu Nanxing beside him with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Lu Nanxing met his gaze and raised her eyebrows.

"What? You said you would give me all the reward, are you going to go back on your word?"

Tu Xingzhu wanted to regret it, but his dignity did not allow it.

"I'll give it to you if I say so. I keep my word."

Tu Xingzhu pretended that he didn't care at all.

Lu Nanxing chuckled, then casually took out a bank card and threw it into his arms.

"What kind of person would I be if I took your money for nothing? Here, this is your share. We'll settle the money and the matter. That's the rule."

Tu Xingzhu held the card in his hand. Although he knew there was not much money in it, it still made his eyes light up.

"You didn't want this, it's not that I won't give it to you."

Lu Nanxing snorted softly, and the two of them returned to the village, whispering to each other all the way.

Uncle looked at the two people coming back, squinting his eyes with a loving look on his face.

"Nanxing is back. Is everything settled?"

"Don't worry, uncle, I'll take action."

Lu Nanxing patted his chest, moved closer to his uncle, and reminded him eagerly,

"Uncle, I said before that if Tu Xingzhu helps the tribe, he will be the one to take the thousand-year-old corpse soil. Does this count?"

When the uncle heard this, he squinted at her, and there was something meaningful in his cloudy eyes. After a long while, he asked her,

"Do you want to give it?"

Lu Nanxing nodded.

"I've brought the person back, so just give it to him. He doesn't intend to use it for anything bad. If he succeeds, it will be a good deed for the tribe."

Lu Nanxing knew that it might not be easy to convince him when it came to the clan rules, and wanted to use some tricks to persuade him, but he didn't expect his uncle to just respond.

"Then go get it."

He actually agreed directly.

Lu Nanxing and Tu Xingzhu were stunned at first, then their faces lit up with joy, especially Lu Nanxing, who hugged his uncle's arm with joy.

"You agree? Uncle, I know you are always the most reasonable! Then let's go now."

As he said this, he jumped up and was about to pull Tu Xingzhu, as if he was afraid that the other party would change his mind if he went too late.

Tu Xingzhu didn't even have a chance to show off. He was dragged to the door by Lu Nanxing. Only then did he turn around and shout towards the house,

"Uncle, let's go!"

The location of the thousand-year-old corpse is the clan tomb of the tribe, which is similar to a clan temple. Normally, people are not allowed to enter. Even if they can enter, not everyone can enter.

Lu Nanxing is the only girl in this generation who can enter the clan tomb at will.

It was the first time she entered the tribe when she brought Hua Sui back.

This time he brought another person with him.

"There is a special place for corpses in the clan tomb. The yin energy in that place is quite heavy. Don't look around randomly after you go in. Just follow me."

"Row."

When it comes to serious matters, Tu Xingzhu has always been reliable.

Lu Nanxing first took him to kowtow in front of a row of coffins in the main hall, and then lit incense.

Tu Xingzhu only felt that the fragrance was very special, and the smoke was as dense as flowing water, but the water was floating upwards at this moment.

He followed the flowing green smoke and soon discovered something was wrong.

The green smoke floated upwards and quickly dispersed into several strands, which actually came towards the two of them.

Soon, a puff of green smoke circled around Lu Nanxing's head, and then dissipated around her body without a trace.

The other one seemed to float hesitantly above him for a long time, and after a long while it finally approached tentatively, circled around his body, and finally wrapped around his head.

Tu Xingzhu vaguely guessed something.

Does this mean you approve of him?

I heard Lu Nanxing say next to me,

"The ancestors have allowed you to enter, let's go."

It was the first time that Tu Xingzhu had come into in-depth contact with the rules and procedures passed down by the aristocratic families. He was born an orphan, all alone, and entered Taoism by self-study with the help of a book by an old Taoist priest. He had never felt the feeling of having the support of an aristocratic family behind him.

This feeling is somewhat strange.

But he soon felt relieved.

Although he has no noble family behind him, he has an entire orphanage behind him.

That place may not give him confidence, but he can instead become the confidence of that place.

The process of removing the thousand-year-old soil was much simpler than he had imagined.

Tu Xingzhu took out a small bottle of the material he thought was the closest, sealed it with a talisman, and patted his backpack.

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing that he only took a small bottle, Lu Nanxing asked him,

"Is this enough? Since you are here, why don't you take some more?"

Tu Xingzhu looked at her and laughed.

"You are truly a good descendant of your ancestors."

And he said,

"These are enough. If they are not enough, I will call you over to get more next time."

He thought, at worst it would just be a matter of doing some more work for the tribe, simple.

But Lu Nanxing was staring at him with a complicated expression, as if he was speechless, but also as if he had something to say.

After a while, she chose to shut up and let him be.

After the two of them left the clan tomb, Lu Nanxing looked around and suddenly asked him,

"You brought your stuff with you, right?"

Tu Xingzhu looked at the backpack he was carrying and nodded.

Just listen to her.

"It's good that nothing was left behind. Let's go straight out of the village and back to Haishi while it's still light."

Slaughtering the star bamboo is inexplicable,

"Why are you in such a hurry? After I get the things, shouldn't I go talk to my uncle and thank him before I leave?"

"No, leave now and listen to me."

Lu Nanxing said this and without saying anything else pulled him and walked quickly towards the village entrance.

When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw the car that their seventh cousin had used to take them into the village parked there. Lu Nanxing walked over and made a gesture with his hands while waving.

The next second, Tu Xingzhu saw a little rag doll crawling out from under the car, holding a pair of car keys in its arms.

Lu Nanxing threw the car keys to Tu Xingzhu, then quickly sat in the passenger seat and motioned to him,

"Drive quickly and go."

Tu Xingzhu was dumbfounded. How could this be done... secretly?

Even the matter of puppets stealing keys came out.

But this is Lu Nanxing's territory after all, and Tu Xingzhu promised to do everything according to her before she came.

So I got in the car obediently and started it.

The car had just turned around and headed back toward the village when we saw our seventh cousin running out from behind as if he had heard some noise.

Behind him, there were several elders from the tribe.

When the group saw the two people running away in the car, they all started shouting something.

The seventh cousin was particularly excited.

"The thousand-year corpse soil is only for the use of the clan members. If he takes the corpse soil, he will have to marry into the clan! He is not allowed to run away!"

Dust flew up from behind the car, and the noise of the car on the road covered up the voices of the seventh cousin and others. Tu Xingzhu looked through the rearview mirror at the people shouting behind him and couldn't help asking Lu Nanxing,

"What are they talking about? Don't we really have to stop and go back to explain?"

Lu Nanxing looked calm and composed.

"No, they just can't bear to part with me."

"Oh."

Tu Xingzhu responded, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

The car was moving forward steadily. After an unknown amount of time, Tu Xingzhu suddenly asked her,

"Lu Nanxing, are you..."

Lu Nanxing turned to look at him, "Hmm?"

Tu Xingzhu tightened his grip on the steering wheel, glanced sideways at her, then quickly looked away. After a long while, he pursed his lips and muttered,

"Forget it, it's okay."

Although the car was far away from Seventh Cousin and the others, and the sound of the car starting up masked the sounds behind them, but... Tu Xingzhu's hearing was actually quite good.

So he vaguely heard something.

However, since Lu Nanxing didn't say anything, he would just pretend he didn't know.

Anyway, it's settled——

Just listen to her.
