The family was tired after tossing and turning all night. Knowing that the old lady was fine, they arranged for a servant to take care of her in her room, and then Jiang's father and mother went back to sleep.

Lu Changan glanced at Jiang Qin, and without avoiding Jiang Tan, nodded at her, then took Jiang Qin back to the room.

Jiang Tan and Gu Junchuan were the only ones left in the hall. Looking at Gu Junchuan who was still motionless, Jiang Tan pushed him and said, "You've been busy all night, go and get some rest."

Gu Junchuan looked at the person who was trying to hide something with smiling eyes. He suddenly bent down and moved close to her. The two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

Jiang Tan's eyes suddenly widened and she subconsciously took a step back, but she was grabbed by the head by a strong hand, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

"Well, you should go to the guest room and take a nap. I'm not sleepy yet. I'll look around the yard..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes glanced around, not daring to look at the man in front of her.

Although the two kissed each other, their heartbeats were still too fast and they were unable to bear it at such a close distance.

Suddenly, her forehead was kissed gently by soft lips, and she looked up in surprise.

"I still have some things to do at the company. You should have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow." He pinched her cute little face, then turned and left.

"Hey, your body has just recovered. Don't waste it on yourself. I won't care about you if you do that!" This alternative way of expressing concern is something Jiang Tan can really do.

Gu Junchuan turned around with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to become a widow!"

After saying this, the man laughed softly and his figure disappeared into the thick night.

Jiang Tan blushed at the teasing and spat, "Hmph, who said I would marry you? Shame on you!" After saying that, he also laughed.

"Oh oh oh, this is so sweet, it really makes my teeth ache." Chang Liu's teasing voice suddenly rang out in the quiet hall. Jiang Tan was startled and turned around, seeing the three brothers looking at her with smiles on their faces, and Xiao Shisan even winked at her.

"Are you awake? Second brother, is your back okay?" Jiang Tan thought of Ruomu's burnt back and asked with concern.

"Hmph, you still have some conscience." Ruomu lifted up his white shirt in a somewhat showy manner, turned around and was about to lift it up to show Jiang Tan, but Changliu held him down.

"How come you, as a senior brother, don't have any sense of being a senior brother at all!"

Ruomu put down the white shirt in his hand and straightened it up, "Big Brother, you are too old-fashioned. I just want my little sister to see it more clearly so that she won't worry!"

Chang Liu looked at him with amusement, then ignored him. He turned to look at Jiang Tan and said, "When we woke up, we found that no one was home. We asked the servants and found out that something happened to Madam Jiang. How is she? Is she okay?"

"It's okay now, but there's something fishy about grandma's case. Someone wants to harm the Jiang family." Jiang Tan recounted the whole story again.

Chang Liu frowned. Who did the Jiang family offend to deserve being killed? Their family was destroyed.

Ruomu looked left and right, then nudged the silly and cheerful little Thirteen with his elbow, "Thirteen, take out your little toy."

Upon hearing this, Chang Liu and Jiang Tan turned their gaze towards them, only to see Thirteen pulling out a small toad-like gadget from his pocket.

Chang Liu took a closer look and was a little surprised: "You brought this thing down the mountain?"

Seeing Chang Liu's expression, Thirteen took two steps back and carefully observed Chang Liu's expression. Seeing that he was not unhappy, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I leave it on the mountain, the Taoist friends won't know how to feed it. It would be a pity if it died."

Chang Liu snorted coldly and looked at Thirteen with a knowing look, "You are afraid that if you sneak down the mountain, Master will get angry and take it out on you, a little thing!"

Thirteen was not annoyed when his little secret was exposed, he just chuckled: "Big Brother, that's wrong. I came down the mountain because I was worried about my little sister. After all, I have raised this little bug for so many years, and it has finally come out of the woods. If it dies by accident, it will be a pity."

Chang Liu didn't say anything else. He looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You're lucky this time. Let your little thing start working!"

"Big Brother, you know that every time this little thing does something, it loses one year of its lifespan. Can you please help me improve my skills?"

Chang Liu glanced at him, raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, then turned to Jiang Tan and said, "Junior sister, it's all my fault that I'm not good enough in my skills. It seems that this matter can only be handed over to the master. I will go to find the whereabouts of the master now. You have to be careful these days..." After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but before leaving, he glanced at the somewhat nervous Thirteen with a meaningful look.

Seeing Chang Liu about to walk out of the hall, Thirteen finally stopped Chang Liu anxiously: "Big Brother, don't bother Master with such a small matter. Look, the little thing has moved."

Thirteen stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and showed the mini toad in his hand to everyone.

The little thing was seen swelling up and down, and its size gradually grew larger with the breath, until it covered half of Thirteen's palm. Its black skin slowly turned red, like a cooked toad. It was also the first time that Jiang Tan saw a toad's eyes grow so big.

The toad seemed to have expanded to a critical point. It suddenly opened its mouth as if to spit out something, and then its entire body shrank rapidly and returned to its original shape. It lay listlessly in Thirteen's palm, as if it was about to die.

Thirteen took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket with some heartache, put the toad back carefully, then took out some more white powder from his pocket and sprinkled it into the air. Suddenly, a thin white line appeared and extended to the second floor.

"This is all thanks to Xiao Shisan. Ever since you were ambushed at Gu's house last time, Xiao Shisan has planted these mother and child toads on the Jiang family. If anyone uses magic, they will be connected to the mother toad." Ruomu patted Jiang Tan's shoulder with a smile.

"You are so proud of yourself. Xiao Shisan's heart was bleeding at that time." It is not easy to refine this toad. It is similar to the Gu King in Miaojiang. You need to gather the newly transformed toads together, feed them centipedes, snake powder and other poisons every day, let them fight on their own, and the only ones that survive are these little things.

In order to train to become a mother and baby toad, two of these little creatures need to mate and use a special method to leave toad eggs. The number of toad eggs left is limited, and the lifespan of this toad is reduced every time it is used. This mother and baby toad can be used to detect whether there is any magic in the surrounding environment, and can also make people eat the eggs without knowing it. If this person uses magic, the mother toad can easily find the caster.

Jiang Tan thought about the little thing that was still very cute even though it became very small, and then thought about the use of this thing. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You didn't give the eggs to grandma and my parents to eat, did you?"
