Yaoyao didn't know that her secret live stream had been exposed. She was having a blast right now!
The Gu family had recently opened a sports area in their villa complex, adding many exercise machines. Yaoyao had good stamina and was agile, quickly getting the hang of every one of them.
However, this area became Yaoyao's dominion. She led her two little followers, zipping back and forth.
Gu Panpan would also bring along classmates, a dozen or so little kids, scrambling about. Yaoyao was like a little team leader, expertly assigning roles for their "underground warfare."
"Bang~" A muffled sound from a smoke gun.
A kid with a camouflage painted face and wearing a ghillie suit suddenly screamed. Red smoke puffed from the safety pack on his back.
This meant he was eliminated. He was the last sniper on the red team, and his failure meant the outcome of this underground battle was decided.
The little kid grumbled defiantly, "No fair! Your team has Yaoyao. She's accurate with every shot; she's already taken out seven of us!"
There were only eight in total in one team... The remaining one was due to Gu Xiaoyu's bad luck, his bullet inexplicably going astray.
At his shout, whoosh, the little kids who originally belonged to the same team instantly stood up, their voices surprisingly unified in anger.
"Exactly... exactly! Gu Panpan, you lied! You said Yaoyao was young, and you were at a disadvantage, so you had to attack first. Liar... big liar!"
"Well, tell me if I said Yaoyao wasn't small. You can't deny that, can you?"
Facing his friends' accusations, Gu Panpan remained utterly unperturbed, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, stubbornly stating facts.
After all, he had never once said that his little sister was weak. What was wrong with a young age granting priority?
That's right, I'm not wrong. Gu Panpan rationalized it to himself, and his back straightened.
"You're twisting logic, so shameless!"
"I don't care, I don't care! Next round, Yaoyao has to be on our team. Otherwise, you guys can't be on a team either..."
A girl from the opposing team stepped forward. Her complexion was fair, but her hair was somewhat short.
Children's features tended to be delicate. Without long hair for distinction, it was hard to recognize her.
Normally, she might have attracted more attention, but at the moment, everyone's focus was naturally not on her appearance, but on what she said.
Because she wasn't wrong. Yaoyao was like a bug. Once her team was confirmed, the other side could simply give up; there was no game experience at all.
"No... I don't agree! How can my auntie be on your team? Absolutely not!"
"Exactly, exactly! No way, we won't give in!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously. Without looking, one knew it was Gu Panpan and Gu Xiaoyu.
Especially the former, who was utterly unyielding, which completely infuriated the crowd.
"Then what's the point of playing... I'm not playing anymore!"
"Go home... go home. Next time Gu Panpan asks us to play, we won't come either. He's a sore loser."
As these people spoke, they turned around without hesitation and walked away. Gu Panpan grew anxious.
He hadn't had enough fun yet. If they all left, what would he play? But without Yaoyao, he felt he was losing out badly...
"Everyone, please don't argue anymore. You all play first!"
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Yaoyao, who had been sitting and watching, suddenly spoke in her clear voice.
Her words instantly drew everyone's gaze. Gu Panpan urgently wanted to say something, but Yaoyao stopped him.
"Panpan, this isn't your problem. I have other things to do!"
Besides sending the Peace Talisman to the Fated One, she also had to inform her Second Brother about the ancient tomb.
Of course, the most important thing was that this underground battle was too boring! One or two rounds were fine, but after a while, with no suspense in any match, it just wasn't fun anymore!
Yaoyao didn't say it directly because she didn't want to make Gu Panpan uncomfortable. After all, everyone there was his friend.
The old Daoist priest had said that men, regardless of age, cared about their face, so she had to save his.
Now that she had a good excuse to leave, Yaoyao was even more eager than the people who proposed it. She almost lit fireworks to celebrate.
"Then... alright!" Gu Panpan was clearly not that smart; he couldn't hear any problem with the excuse.
Plus, he had always been a little afraid of his archaeological Second Uncle, so he didn't dare to ask too many questions now.
However, his gaze was still reluctant.
Yaoyao ignored this. She happily walked towards the house, moving at a restrained speed. Otherwise, these people wouldn't even have seen a corner of her clothes.
"It's fair now, isn't it? Without Yaoyao, I, Gu Panpan, can still take you all down!"
Gu Panpan said angrily, and these words instantly provoked public outrage. A group of little kids started squabbling.
"Hmph, who can't talk big? Talk big after you've actually done it!"
"Brothers, let's take down this boastful fatty..."
They weren't old, but they all spoke quite "maturely." The scene immediately erupted.
As for these things, Yaoyao wasn't very clear. She was busy packing packages right now!
However, even if she were free and knew the situation, she wouldn't care much. It was all just exaggerated talk, like playing house, and soon they would be pecking at each other like chickens again.
"Miss Yaoyao, are these all the packages that need to be sent out this time?"
The butler asked carefully. This wasn't his first time doing this, and he was experienced in handling affairs, so he naturally wasn't unaware of the numbers.
He asked simply because he was afraid the master might change their mind at the last minute, and he might misinterpret it, delaying the master's affairs.
Yaoyao nodded softly and thanked him. "Yes, thank you, Butler Uncle!"
This polite demeanor made the old butler's face fill with smiles. He responded and took the box to handle the matter.
On the other side, Yaoyao turned to get her brush and draw talismans. Of course, this time she was drawing not Peace Talismans, but more effective Exorcism Talismans.
Their purpose was clear: they were prepared for the tomb in the water village. Since there were human-faced carbuncles in that tomb, the danger level was high.
Therefore, using more effective Exorcism Talismans was Yaoyao's initial plan.
And considering that her Second Brother wouldn't be the only one entering the tomb, Yaoyao thoughtfully drew thirty to forty talismans, enough to support the entire archaeological team.
However, during dinner, Yaoyao was about to give the items to her Second Brother when she was interrupted by her Sixth Brother, who had returned from the army overnight.
The latter looked solemn. When he saw her, he strangely breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked up to her.
"Sixth Brother, is something wrong?" Yaoyao's mind was quick. He hadn't spoken, but she had already guessed that something was amiss.
After all, normally, Sixth Brother wouldn't rush home. And indeed, under her gaze, Gu Zhen slowly nodded.
His voice was a little rushed. "Yes, this matter is quite big. I came back to ask if there are more talismans similar to the Lightness Talisman.
"If possible, recently, Sixth Brother will need you to prepare more. The quantity is not fixed... as many as possible."
At these words, the Gu family members in the hall all looked over, especially Gu Xuesong, who even put down his ivory chopsticks.
