I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Ma Chengye paused, and seeing that everyone in the room was staring at him, he felt inexplicably nervous.

Burning incense to a living person is an unlucky act that will bring curses and bad influences.

He never figured out whether his master was a human or an immortal.

The master has the ethereal temperament of a fairy, but she eats grains like humans.

Could it be that the master is a combination of human, immortal and god, a god-human immortal?

No matter which one it is, he believes that people who eat grains cannot burn incense.

As for whether there were other gods protecting his master, he couldn't tell.

The master kept shouting about the God's protection and so on, and he thought it was just an excuse the master made for himself.

Cong Chongqiu looked at Ma Chengye who was keeping silent with his eyes downcast, and urged him in a hoarse voice,

"Master Ma, are you calculating the auspicious time?"

"Then I will have people prepare the incense table and other things. When you calculate the auspicious time, have the soldiers line up to burn incense to the God King, so that the old God King can have a prosperous new year."

The Wu Ma family must have these things, but they are afraid that there may not be enough incense.

With an army of more than 300,000 people and three incense sticks per person, it would be hard to find so many incense sticks.

Time is limited, so we have to quickly send the soldiers to search the entire city, and collect as many incense sticks as possible, the more the better.

“No, no, no…” Ma Chengye hurriedly stopped Cong Chongqiu, “I…I just spoke to the God King, and the God King said that he doesn’t need incense.”

"No need for incense!?" Cong Chongqiu looked at Ma Chengye in disbelief. "How can there be a deity that doesn't need incense? Did you hear it wrong?"

Which temple doesn't need incense to worship gods? Not only does it need incense, but it also needs money for the incense.

They can't pay for incense, but they can still burn some incense.

Xiao Yunhao looked at Ma Chengye in shock, with several big question marks popping up in his mind.

He thought that only the Xiao family could contact his fourth brother's wife, but he didn't expect that Ma Chengye could do it too.

Before, he thought he was the only one who could contact his fourth brother's wife, ever since his fourth brother's wife told him about the situation with his father and brothers.

He guessed that every member of the Xiao family should have such a chat box in their mind.

He also hadn't heard his fourth brother's wife talk about anyone else, so he guessed that only the Xiao family could contact his fourth brother's wife.

Unexpectedly, there is now another Ma Chengye.

Wan Suyun looked at Ma Chengye in surprise, and his heart skipped a beat.

Aren’t people in the Xiao family the only ones who have a chat box in their minds to contact the fourth brother’s wife?

How come Ma Chengye also has it?

Could it be that... Ma Chengye will be a member of the Xiao family in the future?

Wan Suyun frowned and thought carefully.

Ma Chengye will be 15 years old after the Chinese New Year, and Xiao Lingyan will be 12 years old after the Chinese New Year.

Could it be that Ma Chengye will marry Ling Yan in the future?

Wan Suyun lowered his eyelids and his eyes rolled around.

Considering the care and preference that my fourth brother’s wife showed to Ma Chengye, this might be the reason.

After discovering this shocking secret, Wan Suyun took a deep breath, raised his eyelids and looked carefully at Ma Chengye.

Xiao Ma used to look skinny and frail, but now, just a few months later, he is clearly a different person.

He has grown at least half a head taller and looks more energetic.

As for his appearance, he looks quite handsome, and he seems like a steady kid in general.

Ling Yan is lively and outgoing, while Xiao Ma is steady and down-to-earth, so they are a good match.

Ma Chengye caught a glimpse of Wan Suyun's strange look out of the corner of his eye, and felt a chill in his heart.

He pursed his lips and looked at Cong Chongqiu with forced calmness.

"The God King is different from other gods. She doesn't need incense, she only needs everyone's faith and respect."

Cong Chongqiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized,

"Oh~~~ I understand. Then I will ask the soldiers to shout "May the God King live as long as the sky" before eating the New Year's Eve dinner. This way, the God King's divine power will increase, right?"

When praying for rain in the morning, didn't King Zhenbei just shout several slogans praising the God King?

After the shouting, the God King gave out tools for praying for rain, which shows that the God King liked to hear this.

Ma Chengye looked at Cong Chongqiu's serious expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Okay!"

There is no harm in shouting it out, letting the soldiers know that their current good days are all due to the blessing of the God-King, and thus strengthening the cohesion of the army.

"Okay!" Cong Chongqiu nodded, "I'll go to the camp and give the instructions."

After Xiao Yunhao watched Cong Chongqiu walk away with big strides, he turned around and looked at Ma Chengye intently.

If he wanted to ask, he didn't say it.

What if Ma Chengye contacted his fourth brother's wife through other methods? Wouldn't he be exposed if he asked that question?

Wan Suyun glanced at Ma Chengye with a smile, then glanced at Xiao Yunhao who was staring at Ma Chengye.

She smiled and walked forward to hold Xiao Yunhao's arm.

"Let's go pick out some New Year gifts for our fourth sister-in-law, put them away separately, and give them to her when she comes."

From Xinyue City to Chiyan City, many aristocratic families showed their goodwill to them along the way and gave them a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

She planned to pick out the best ones and keep them for her fourth brother's wife.

"Okay." Xiao Yunhao glanced at Wan Suyun's bulging belly, smiled and nodded.

Ma Chengye breathed a sigh of relief after watching the Zhenbei King and his wife leave.

"Xiao Ma!" Shang Lu quietly moved to Ma Chengye's side.

"Ah!" Ma Chengye had just breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of "Xiao Ma" scared him so much that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

Shang Lu looked at Ma Chengye's frightened expression and smiled awkwardly, "Did I scare you?"

“No…no.” Ma Chengye waved his hand. “Sister Shang Lu, what’s the matter?”

Shang Lu looked at him with envy, "You can actually talk to the God King, can you teach me?"

Ma Chengye was stunned and pulled the corner of his lips, "This is a talent, it can't be taught."

He plays it so well, how can I teach him?

You don't need to be taught how to brag, but you can just tell lies with your eyes open.

Shang Lu let out a long "ah" with regret and sighed softly.

"Hey, why is there such a long hair on your ear?"

Shanglu's drooping eyelids suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange long hair.

She stared at the golden hair on Ma Chengye's ear that was as long as his little finger, her eyes full of confusion.

She hadn't noticed the strange hair on the pony's ear before, but now the pony was able to talk to the God King and had this hair.

"Is it because of this special hair that you have that ability?"

Shang Lu stared at the golden hair, his eyes shining frighteningly.

Ma Chengye moved to the side uncomfortably, pulled the corners of his lips, and laughed dryly, "That's longevity hair."

"Longevity hair!?" Shang Lu looked at Ma Chengye enviously, "Then you can live a long time, right?"

“Haha!” Ma Chengye smiled awkwardly, “It’s that hair that lives longer…”
