My Sister Offers Advice

Ye Rou, who was drooling over the sweet and sour pork, suddenly became anxious after hearing Fang Jing's words.

She pulled Fang Jing into the second bedroom and whispered, "Jing-jie, I won't get my husband killed, will I?"

"Don't scare yourself. Last time the farm was so dangerous, he led a group of ordinary pig farmers and they escaped, didn't they?"

"My husband is smart. But let alone his cultivation, even you and I couldn't withstand being targeted by those wealthy families."

"There's always a way out. Let's ask my dad first."

"I should have insisted on making a scene back then, even taking it to the Queen. I was too naive to think that no one would dare to oppose the Imperial Marriage System's decisions."

"Do you really want to marry into a wealthy family?"

Ye Rou shook her head. "No, I don't think so. I think those second and third-generation rich kids are not as good as my husband."

"That's settled then. You're already pregnant. You have typical pregnancy symptoms: excessive anxiety."

"But you had your husband with you, while I only had you and your sister at the time."

After the three finished their meal, they went to the maternal and child health hospital together to make a phone call to visit their relatives.

In the Jinglong Empire, individuals are not allowed to have communication devices; each person is an information island.

Universities, law enforcement teams, city-states, including the frontline military, and various institutions, except for the top management, all use regional networks, with large networks containing smaller networks.

The maternal and child hospitals were important units directly operated by the empire. In order to facilitate governance, a network of kinship needed to be woven, which naturally became an information link. By entering relatives' information, satellite phones could be dialed.

She called the Northern Border Army camp several times to arrange Ye Rou's wedding, but couldn't get an appointment.

My sister has been on missions outside the Great Wall for months at a time.

Fang Jing could easily contact her parents because they had a dedicated line that could be reached whether she was in the military camp or in her bedroom at home.

But when their parents make appointments with them, they never return the call.

Soon, her father, Fang Hongbo, answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Jing?"

"Yes, Dad, are you resting?"

"Not yet, what happened?"

My daughter never calls unless she needs something from me.

"Have you heard that my best friend Ye Rou married an ordinary person who hasn't awakened his powers?"

"I know, stay away from them, I can't be friends with them anymore."

Fang Jing frowned and quickly pressed the microphone against her ear.

Ye Rou was right next to her, and even with her level of hearing, pressing the microphone wouldn't help.

Seeing that Sister Jing was in a dilemma, she could only make a gesture, "How about we just forget about it?"

Fang Jing disagreed, "Dad, I haven't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry to draw conclusions?"

"The same thing happened at Tunghai University, but that boy is already dead."

Fang Jing's expression changed drastically, and she quickly pulled Ye Rou over.

"Oh, so it's all ordinary boys paired with gifted girls?"

"Yes, the same bug has occurred in both Northern City and Western City."

"Where are the two boys?"

He died the night he was paired up.

Fang Jing's face began to turn ugly, and Ye Rou was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"How did he die?"

"The case is being investigated by the law enforcement team. Dad has no right to interfere and doesn't want to ask about it. Remember what I said. Bye."

"Wait, wait!" Fang Jing's eyes darted around, and she quickly said, "Ye Rou is right here. She heard what you said, and she's very upset. She's been taking care of me and the child these past few days. I can do as you say, but you have to give her some advice."

"It's not convenient over the phone."

"Dad, you once fought alongside Grandmaster Ye Jian, and Ye Rou was his daughter."

"Sigh, okay, let her answer the phone."

Ye Rou answered the phone nervously.

"Ahem..." Fang Hongbo cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"The Imperial Marriage System is personally overseen by the Queen and the Eight Grandmasters. No one dares to openly harm your husband. Just be careful when you walk at night."

Ye Rou understood the implication in his words; it was as if he was warning the eavesdropper.

"If something happens to my husband, will the Empire investigate?"

"Of course, this is a blatant provocation against the imperial authority, and it's not impossible that the Queen would send a Grandmaster in person."

"Is there anything else, Uncle Fang?"

"At the end of the year, Fang Jing's mother and I will go back to Jiangling City to process the transfer orders for the siblings. If your husband is still alive by then, we will treat you to a meal. As for the rest, it's up to your fate."

"..."

Ye Rou was completely numb.

Yang Ding heard it too.

Damn it, he just married a beautiful wife, why does it involve the entire power network of the Jinglong Empire?

After hanging up the phone, Ye Rou pouted, feeling very sad. She hugged Yang Ding's neck, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Honey, are you scared?"

"When you went alone, pregnant, to rescue me from the White Walkers' lair, were you afraid?"

Ye Rou shook her head. "I'm not afraid."

"I'm not afraid. I think I have some ideas. I'll tell you when we get back."

"Okay, I'll try calling my sister. I miss her so much; if she were here, she'd definitely have a way."

Ye Rou dialed the phone number of the Northern Army camp again.

"Has Hunter Ye Ke from Squadron 6999 of the Fifth Army returned to camp?"

"Please wait fifteen seconds..."

"Hello, Captain Ye Ke of Squadron 6999 reported back to camp last night. Would you like me to transfer her to my unit?"

Ye Rou quickly replied, "Yes, yes, please hurry."

Ye Rou pulled Yang Ding over, preparing to introduce her to her sister, "My sister has been gone for less than two years and has already been promoted to captain, so her cultivation level is probably already at the lower sixth rank."

A captain in a northern military camp is not the same as a captain in an enforcement team; their salaries differ by three or four times.

A moment later, a cool voice came from the other end, "Gentle?"

"It's me, sister."

Hearing her sister's voice, Ye Rou felt as if she had a powerful force. After all, the two sisters grew up together in the maternal and child health center, and her sister had always protected her since she was a child.

"I heard you got married? Married to an ordinary person?"

"Yes, sister, his name is Yang Ding, he's very nice."

Are you in some kind of trouble right now?

"Sis, how did you know?"

Tell me what happened.

Ye Rou covered the microphone and explained all the important details.

"Isn't that simple? Just remarry after Yang Ding dies."

"..."

Ye Rou turned her head and glanced at Yang Ding.

Yang Ding frowned. What kind of bastard sister-in-law was this?

"Sis, what are you saying? I'm pregnant."

"You..." There was a full ten seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. "You're truly a talent."

"Sis, are you mocking me?"

"How long has it been?"

"It's been a month, oh, more than a month."

Then came another long silence.

"Rou, is that your husband's breathing sounding next to you?"

"Yes."

"Remember what I'm about to say. There's a book at home called 'The History of Evolution.' The numbers I'm about to say will be divided into three parts: page number, line number, and word order: 157, 931, 183, 3358, 2689, 1213..."

"Go back and investigate immediately. Don't tell anyone. Bye."

"sister……"

"Beep beep beep!"

In the Jiangling City Law Enforcement Bureau's governor's office, Zhou Ruoxi took off her headphones, her head spinning from the string of numbers.

She asked her secretary, "What evolutionary history? What kind of book is this? Is it something left over from before the catastrophe?"

"I've never heard of that. Ye Jian's wife, who is also Ye Ke and Ye Rou's mother, was a university professor and loves collecting books."

"Sending someone to fetch it is too late. Bring Azi here."
