Old Mr. Shen specifically called Tian Jing to tell her about the current situation of everyone in the Gao family.
What made Tian Jing happy was the news that Lou Caiyun was living under the control of two fat daughters-in-law.
Ouyang Lei found the Fat Family and persuaded them. After that, he contacted Old Mr. Shen.
Old Mr. Shen was very willing to cooperate with Ouyang Lei. Only after the matters concerning the Gao Mingfei brothers were settled did he submit the evidence he had prepared...
Tian Jing stated that she only cared about Lou Caiyun and would not inquire about or be involved in anything else.
Old Mr. Shen smiled and reminded her not to forget about planting ginseng.
After hanging up the phone, Tian Jing called Ouyang Lei and asked him to send people to keep an eye on Lou Caiyun. She wanted to know what kind of miserable life Lou Caiyun was living.
Ouyang Lei laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I rely on watching their jokes every day to eat an extra bowl of rice."
Tian Jing retorted, "Are you sure it's not because your mother-in-law's cooking is too delicious?"
"Be careful you don't get so fat you become a ball, and Ren Zhi won't even recognize you."
"How dare he?" Ouyang Lei exclaimed, "I'm his father."
Tian Jing replied, "Yes, yes, yes, no one said you aren't his father. Keep an eye on them. By the end of May or early June, I'll go check on Lou Caiyun again."
They chatted a few more pleasantries before hanging up.
The weather was getting hotter. One day, Tian Jing was in the ginseng shed with Ouyang Meihua, installing a sunshade net.
The sunshade net was black, and it would be too conspicuous if placed outside the shed, so it was installed inside.
The shed had a wall on the north side, and the southern side formed a semicircle. Within this semicircle, at least five strips were needed to cover the southern arc.
As the two had just pulled three strips, Zhou Chengbin came to find Captain Tian.
He said that ten foreigners were waiting for Captain Tian at the entrance of the courtyard.
Tian Jing handed over the work to Zhou Chengbin and went back to receive the guests.
Ouyang Meihua wanted to go along and help, but Tian Jing refused. She didn't intend to engage in any direct confrontation.
After her sister-in-law left the shed, Ouyang Meihua wanted to follow quietly, but Zhou Chengbin stopped her:
"Mom, your aunt doesn't want anyone to interfere. Please don't get involved, in case you cause more trouble..."
Ouyang Meihua paused, then grabbed the sunshade net from the ground and urged Zhou Chengbin to pull, drag, and tie it quickly.
As Zhou Chengbin dragged the long sunshade net, he asked why they were shading the shed. If it was already shaded, why not plant outside?
Ouyang Meihua glared at him, "Your aunt told us to shade this shed."
Zhou Chengbin was speechless. He knew the feeling of being retorted by his mother-in-law.
At the entrance of the courtyard stood ten foreigners, both men and women.
They were all over thirty years old.
Tian Jing thought of the words of the forty-something man, and indeed, they came in double the numbers each time.
Considering their ages and ranks, they should be of a higher level.
Tian Jing asked the woman at the head, "Are you looking for me?"
The woman, over 1.75 meters tall, crossed her arms and looked down at Tian Jing:
"We're looking for someone."
"Not for me?"
The woman pointed to the courtyard, "Looking for the owner of this house."
Tian Jing nodded. She dangled the key in her hand, "That's me. Shall we talk here, or go inside?"
The woman gestured to the courtyard.
Tian Jing walked past her towards the stairs.
The woman suddenly extended her hand.
The other nine also moved simultaneously.
The powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were all unleashed towards her.
Tian Jing, who had already enveloped herself with a protective layer of powers, waved her hand and stomped her foot. The ten attacks against her were reflected back along the same path.
The wood element was fine, but the water element splashed water all over.
The metal element reacted quickly, recalling its released flying disc.
The fire and earth elements suffered more.
The earth element, being traceless and caught off guard due to carelessness, had no defense.
The fire element, overconfident, found its flames returning too quickly. After a flurry of activity to extinguish them, half of his handsome short hair on his forehead was scorched.
He furiously concentrated all the energy within his body, intending to deliver a critical blow to Tian Jing.
The leading woman, who was the metal element user who released the flying disc, cupped her fists and apologized to Tian Jing, "I'm sorry, we were too presumptuous."
The fire element user's large fireball was still spinning in his hand, "Lovna, get out of the way."
Lovna turned and yelled at him, "Stupid," then turned back to Tian Jing to apologize again,
"Senior, please forgive us."
Forgive? Was that possible?
They attacked her as soon as they arrived. If she couldn't handle them, would these people forgive her?
Tian Jing flicked her hand, scattering a 'heavenly maiden scattering flowers' attack. All ten people were enveloped in individual protective layers.
She turned and walked up the steps to open the door.
As for the user who had concentrated all his energy on the fireball, once enveloped by the protective layer, the fireball extinguished as if it had run out of oxygen.
It wasn't like it, it truly ran out of oxygen. After a few deep breaths, the fire element user's face turned purple, and he flailed his limbs.
"Senior, Senior."
The leading woman, hearing the commotion behind her, turned and saw her companion's state. She frantically called out to Tian Jing, who was opening the door.
Tian Jing, as if she hadn't heard, pushed the door open and beckoned to the ten people.
All ten people floated uncontrollably towards Tian Jing.
The result of being uncontrolled naturally caused the other nine to panic.
The leading woman no longer had time to worry about her companion and once again cupped her fists towards Tian Jing to apologize:
"Senior, Senior, please forgive us, please, we don't want to die."
"You won't die," Tian Jing said coldly.
Not only did the other nine breathe a sigh of relief, but the fire element user's feeling of suffocation also disappeared, and he could breathe deeply again.
After the ten people floated into the courtyard, Tian Jing closed the front gate.
She took out her phone and called Zeng Jingrong, asking him to bring people down to pick them up.
When Zeng Jingrong heard that ten people had arrived, he brought four people and five carrying poles.
Upon seeing Zeng Jingrong, the leading woman exclaimed in surprise, "Zeng?"
"It's me," Zeng Jingrong nodded. "Lovna, I didn't expect we would meet on our country's territory this time."
"The international code of conduct is like a nullity to you, isn't it?"
"This time, let's see how your family leaders explain this to the United Nations, and to our country."
Lovna repeatedly waved her hands, "Zeng, we only came to find our companions, we really had no intention of offending this senior."
Zeng Jingrong turned to look at Tian Jing.
"Heh heh," Tian Jing chuckled lightly, "Attacking me with ten people at once, is that not an offense, or is it your way of showing friendliness?"
"Since when is the way to express friendliness between nations by unleashing powers on each other?"
Ten people at once?
Zeng Jingrong knew that Lovna's power was level three mid-tier, and the other nine were at least level three early-tier or level two high-tier.
The suppression of levels truly couldn't be resisted just by having more people.
He ignored Lovna and said to Tian Jing, "Tie them up, and we'll carry them away."
Earlier, while waiting for Zeng Jingrong, Tian Jing had asked some questions of these ten people.
Perhaps out of fear, or perhaps wanting Tian Jing to be satisfied and let them go, they revealed what they could.
Tian Jing didn't get much useful information, but it did confirm the middle-aged man's statement that there were many above level four.
She asked how one ascended to level four, but these ten people didn't know.
It was because they hadn't reached the level where they needed to understand that aspect.
Having learned all they knew, Tian Jing followed Zeng Jingrong's suggestion and tied up the ten people with vines.
She also knocked them unconscious.
The team members who came to pick them up laughed at the vine cocoons, likening them to carrying pigs.
Zeng Jingrong reprimanded them.
They were not allowed to use derogatory terms to insult international friends; they were only allowed to say "carry poles," not "carry pigs."
Hahaha.
The four team members, chuckling, each picked up a pair of vine cocoons and bid farewell to Captain Tian.
