He opened his email inbox, and sure enough, there were a lot of unread messages.

The latest one was from a stranger, and it was obvious from the title that it was from Violet Orchid.

[Hey, how have you been?

It's been three days since then. Oh right, let me tell you some good news. I've become your counselor. After I'm done with my work in two days, I'll send Fox's Assistance to get in touch with you.

— — Violet Orchid, 215.06.28.11: 30: 45]

Ivan looked at the time at the bottom right corner. Ugh, okay, today was already the first of July.

After thinking about it, Ivan decided to reply.

[I'm very sorry. I've been busy familiarizing myself with Honmaru's work and didn't have time to reply.]

Of course, this was fake. He was an idle person, and he slept until the sun was high in the sky every day. It was Qing Guang who kept waking him up for lunch.

In the afternoon, he watched the Swordsmen go on an expedition, played frisbee with the Great White, counted ants, and took an afternoon nap.

At night, he welcomed the Swordsmen who went out to work hard. If there were new Swordsmen, he would have a welcoming party, eat and play with them, and listen to them talk about the secret history of their previous masters.

As for work?

What was that?

Could it be eaten?

Ivan ignored his conscience and continued to type on the keyboard.

[I didn't expect Violet Orchid to be my counselor. To be honest, I'm a little relieved. Please take care of me in the future.]

He pressed confirm and sent the email, then quickly read the titles of the other unread emails. When he saw that they were all reward notices from the government, he clicked the "Receive" button in the upper left corner and checked that he had read all of them.

After doing all this, before Ivan could even breathe, Violet Orchid's reply arrived.

… Could it be that Violet Orchid sat in front of her desk all day long?

Ivan had no choice but to open the email.

[You finally replied. I thought you were being cheated by Shenyin (laugh). It just so happens that my work has come to an end. Is it convenient for me to send Fox's Assistance to contact you now?]

… Ivan felt that he should delay his reply for another two days.

[I understand.]

Filled with unwillingness, Ivan's reply was only four words with a punctuation mark. As for whether his resentment had been successfully conveyed, the answer was naturally no.

"Master, a Fox's Assistance just arrived from the teleportation circle." Jiazhou Qingguang poked his head in to report.

Ivan =, Violet Orchid!

Don't be too efficient!

After leading the Fox's Assistance through the door, Ivan took a look. Oh, it's a yellow-haired one.

"Esteemed God's Inquisitor, our God's Inquisitor is already waiting for you in our Palace. May I ask if it's convenient for you to head over to our Palace immediately?"

Inconvenient. It was really inconvenient.

Ivan felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at Qing Guang's gentle smile and forced a smile as he nodded. "Of course. Let's set off immediately."

The yellow-haired Fox's Assistance led the way in front. "Later on, a special teleportation circle will be set up. This way, it will be very convenient to come and go …"

Ivan didn't care what the Fox's Assistance said. He grabbed Qing Guang's arm and dragged him away. "Qing Guang, you're my close attendant. Naturally, you have to come with me."

Qing Guang, who had already guessed that this would happen, was very calm in his heart.

***

There was something in this world called other people's XX.

For example, other people's children, other people's swordsman, and other people's Palace.

"It's so beautiful."

Qing Guang couldn't help but sigh. This scale and this scenery were on a completely different level compared to his own Palace. He didn't know when his Palace would develop to this extent.

Looking at the large patch of cherry trees, although the flowering season had passed, the green leaves covering the courtyard still had a unique flavor.

The rockery and the flowing water, as well as the unique pavilion, the attic, the lotus pond full of lotus flowers, as well as the exquisite ornamental fish.

By the way, the ornamental fish in Ivan's Palace had been replaced with edible carp, carp, and other freshwater fish. All of them were plump and strong, ready to be eaten at any time.

Wow — there's even an open-air hot spring!!

Awesome!

Ivan suddenly had the illusion that he was a country bumpkin who had just entered the city.

"Eh?

Jiazhou Palace?

Just now, Mamoru Yamato Palace was looking for you everywhere. Mamoru Yamato Palace — Jiazhou Palace is here. "

On the way, they met a tall and sturdy red-haired man. Jiazhou Qing Guang was a bit confused. He opened his mouth to explain, but was forcefully dragged away by a blue figure.

"Qing Guang, you're not allowed to be lazy today. Let's go, let's go."

"Eh?

Eh —?! "

"Hahaha, everyone is so energetic." Ivan smiled and waved his hand to send them off.

"Hm?

Newcomer?

I'm Otogaku, one of the three Spear Masters. Nice to meet you. "

So his name is Otogaku. He's really tall, almost two meters. His family is a group of teenagers, so they thought that all Katanas were of that height. Could it be related to the type of Katana?

"Oh, I'm Ivan. Nice to meet you."

"Ivan?

I've never heard of that Katana. "

Otogaku scratched his head, then suddenly realized. "Ah, was His Highness Jiazhou Palace bringing you around to familiarize you with the Palace?

Oh, I'm so sorry. If you don't mind, why don't I … "

Before Otogaku finished his words, Ivan couldn't help but laugh.

"Otogaku -sama, this is the God Inquisitor who said that he would come over for an internship. Jiazhou -sama is the God Inquisitor's personal attendant."

"Eh!"

Otogaku felt very apologetic and lowered his head respectfully. "I'm so sorry. That … uh, I'll go and find His Highness Jiazhou Palace."

"Ah, it's okay. Our Palace doesn't have a horse yet. It's not a bad idea to let Qing Guang familiarize himself with it."

And it looks like it'll be fun. When that Mamoru Yamato sees the other Qing Guang, his expression will be very interesting.

Ivan waved at Otogaku happily and continued to follow Blondie Fox's Assistance to the central building.

"God Inquisitor, please don't say your real name so easily. What if …"

"Hey, hey, hey, I know. Shenyin, right? Ivan isn't my full name. And the name Violet Orchid isn't my real name either, right?"

The so-called Shenyin was a term Ivan had only heard of after coming here.

It was said that names were the shortest incantation. Giving up one's real name was the same as giving oneself to another.

And as the Fu Mourning God, the Sword Wielding Man could use the power of words to restrict the God Inquisitor to a certain extent after learning his real name.

— — Thanks to his own unreliable Fox's Assistance.

As for how deep this restriction was, it was unknown.

But Ivan felt that as long as he was stronger than the God Inquisitor, even if the God Inquisitor knew his real name, he wouldn't be restricted.

Besides, Ivan was just a name given to him by his teacher when he took him in as a disciple. His real name was Isrifan, but Ivan pronounced it more smoothly, so it was more widely known.

If he didn't mention his real name, he would have almost forgotten what his real name was.

***

"You're finally here."

This was the first time they had met face to face.

Don't misunderstand, it was just a glimpse of her real face.

Without the cover of a mask, Violet Orchid's face was cute. She was about the same height as Jiazhou Qingguang, and she had two dimples when she smiled.

Yi Fan recognized Zi Yuan. It was all because of her ahoge. Coupled with her cute face, she gave off an innocent feeling.

Although Violet Orchid was already mentally prepared, she was still stunned when she saw Ivan. But she felt that this delicate face was a little familiar, and she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

But Violet Orchid wouldn't ask, because it was too old-fashioned, and Ivan would definitely make fun of her.

Violet Orchid's office was more modern than Ivan's.

There were all kinds of globes on the long cabinet, and the bookcase was stuffed with books. Ivan glanced at it. Eh!

It was actually some obscure book titles.

There was a sofa, an exquisitely carved table, a red carpet on the polished wooden floor, a chandelier, and a rather classical paper window.

If there was anything similar to his house, it would be the gear wall.

Moreover, the gear wall was especially suitable for the atmosphere of the house, as if someone had purposely installed it to decorate the room.

Ivan was quite satisfied with this combination of an office and a living room. At first glance, it didn't give off the feeling of being bored with only work. Instead, it made him feel comfortable.

This design was really good, and he wanted to change his house to be like this in the future.

"This pill of yours is really good. Did you design it?"

"Haha, how could I have that ability? Everyone built it together, and it became like this without me noticing." Violet Orchid smiled slightly, and was quite proud. "How is it? It doesn't feel bad, right?"

"Mm, not bad."

"Then let's get to the main topic." Violet Orchid sat Ivan down in front of the computer desk.

"Uh, no, shouldn't we familiarize ourselves with the environment first?"

Ivan struggled on the verge of death.

At this moment, in Ivan's eyes, that adorable smile was like a soul-sucking evil spirit, causing the fearless Ivan to tremble.

"Haha, there's no hurry. You'll know slowly. Let's learn happily."

Violet Orchid opened the computer file and saw a long string of densely packed words. The scrolling bar at the side was mercilessly compressed into a small dot.
