Su Lian's words instantly turned Zhao Bao's face red and white.

He seemed very angry and couldn't help but shout:

"I'm not that kind of pervert!"

"If I marry you in the future, I will definitely treat you well!"

It was easy to see that Zhao Bao's self-esteem had been deeply hurt.

Liang Jin also felt a burst of speechlessness.

Su Lian often spoke without thinking, not realizing she was hurting others.

But Su Lian's next sentence shocked even Liang Jin:

"Anyway, I won't marry you."

"If I marry in the future, I will marry Brother Jin!"

Liang Jin's eyes widened instantly.

Heaven and earth be my witness!

He really only ever regarded Su Lian as a younger sister and never had any improper thoughts.

Liang Jin then felt relieved.

Su Lian entered the palace at a young age and had no chance to come into contact with men.

The only real male who could often be with her was Liang Jin.

And now Su Lian is only fifteen years old, and her mind is even less mature than her peers, and she doesn't fully understand what love is.

In her ignorance, she confused the affection between herself and Liang Jin with romantic love.

Liang Jin was about to explain it properly for Su Lian.

But Zhao Bao had already opened his mouth:

"I… you…"

"You guys…"

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to say it.

He also didn't expect that Su Lian would say she wanted to marry Liang Jin.

This made Zhao Bao feel resentful and unbearable, wanting to argue with Liang Jin.

But he… couldn't do it.

Because Liang Jin's kindness to him was too great!

Not only did he make him a martial artist and get a Xuan-level secret manual, but he also paved the way for his talisman water business.

Even today, Liang Jin helped him advance to the seventh rank, accelerating his departure from the Zongwu Mansion.

It can be said that his kindness is as heavy as a mountain!

Such great kindness often made Zhao Bao feel very stressed.

He was even more ashamed that he had nothing to repay Liang Jin with.

To the point that…

Now Zhao Bao only felt that he was not worthy to compete with Liang Jin for Su Lian.

If he competed with Liang Jin, how could he have the face to accept so much kindness from Liang Jin?

For a time.

Zhao Bao only felt a tightness in his chest that was really uncomfortable, but he couldn't vent it at all, as if he was about to explode.

The excitement of just breaking through to the seventh rank also vanished in an instant.

In the end.

Zhao Bao said黯然:

"I'll go back first."

Soon, he disappeared from their sight.

Su Lian scratched her head, belatedly realizing:

"Brother Jin, I seem to have made Brother Bao angry?"

Liang Jin knocked her on the head and said angrily:

"Who told you to talk nonsense?"

"You just said the thing that every eunuch is taboo about directly to his face, no wonder he's angry."

"After you go back, think carefully about how to apologize to Zhao Bao next time."

"I will also speak up for you when I see him in the future."

Su Lian seemed to understand, her face full of guilt and discomfort, completely not expecting that she had hurt Brother Bao.

Immediately, she began to think in her head about what she should use to make Brother Bao happy.

Was it a dessert? Or new clothes and shoes? Or the safety buckle that she had mentioned before?

At the same time, Su Lian was also silently calculating with her fingers which things she could afford to buy with the money she had saved to apologize to Zhao Bao.

Liang Jin coughed lightly and asked:

"Xiao Lian, you said you wanted to… marry me?"

"Are you serious?"

Su Lian raised her head when she heard this:

"Ah."

"I just think it would be good to marry you."

"If Brother Bao were a girl, the two of us would marry you together, so that the three of us could always be together."

Liang Jin looked at Su Lian's ignorant, confused, and silly appearance, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also sure that Su Lian had confused affection with romantic love.

Immediately, Liang Jin said seriously:

"Marriage is a major event in life, it's too early for you to say these things now."

"I have always regarded you as a younger sister, you just need to treat me as an older brother."

"As for what Zhao Bao is really thinking, I will also try to find out in the future."

"In short, don't think about this issue for the time being, and don't say those words to Zhao Bao again."

Su Lian nodded in a daze.

She felt that Liang Jin's words were evasive and not very clear.

But it didn't matter, she would ask her aunt when she got back and she would understand.

Liang Jin nodded:

"Alright, go back quickly."

"I'll be changing shifts in a while too."

Su Lian nodded and turned to leave.

Liang Jin stood alone in place, unable to help but sigh.

He really didn't want this little thing to create a rift in the relationship between the three of them.

Su Lian was carefree, so naturally nothing would happen.

Liang Jin himself had figured out the situation, so he wouldn't take it to heart.

But Zhao Bao, he was obviously hurt.

Only Zhao Bao himself knew how big the hurt was.

Liang Jin was not a eunuch after all, so he couldn't completely see things from Zhao Bao's perspective.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have given Zhao Bao the Qi-Boosting Balm today."

Liang Jin shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Just then.

A burst of footsteps sounded.

Only to see Wu Huan leading Wang Quan walking over in a hurry.

From a distance, Wu Huan said:

"Brother Liang, we won't be handing over shifts for the time being, the next shift of Imperial Guards is being blocked outside the palace and can't get in."

"We'll continue to stand guard and wait for notification."

Liang Jin felt an ominous premonition in his heart when he heard this.

He had been on duty for so many years, but he had never heard of the Imperial Guards having to work overtime.

He immediately asked:

"Head Wu, what's going on?"

Wu Huan walked closer and whispered:

"I heard that something important was lost in the palace, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard is investigating."

"The place where the thing was lost is far away from us, so in principle, it shouldn't have anything to do with us."

"If the people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard come, we'll just cooperate with their investigation."

"Alright, I'll continue to notify the other brothers."

With that, Wu Huan left with Wang Quan.

Liang Jin was slightly puzzled.

How could something important be lost in the palace in broad daylight?

Theft in the palace was actually nothing new.

It was said that some eunuchs had embezzled and stolen some items from the palace to sell outside.

There had also been powerful figures who had embezzled the imperial treasury, and it was only after they lost power and fell that the matter came to light.

But this kind of thing was generally a small matter, and it was not enough to require all the Imperial Guards to stay and wait for investigation.

Unless, what was lost was a very important thing.

Or, someone was using this as an excuse to achieve an unspeakable purpose.

As for the exact reason, Liang Jin had no intention of guessing.

He only felt that the palace was becoming more and more chaotic.

This also made Liang Jin feel vigilant.

Only by making himself stronger quickly could he cope with all kinds of unexpected situations.

At this time, the time for signing in arrived.

So Liang Jin directly signed in.

【Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and obtaining a special reward: Toad Gift Pack】

Liang Jin was slightly stunned.

Gift pack?

This was the first time he had drawn this thing when signing in.

And it was some kind of Toad Gift Pack, how did it feel so strange to hear it?

Immediately, Liang Jin checked the description of the Toad Gift Pack.

【Toad Gift Pack: After opening, you can get a toad.】

Huh?

Toad?

Liang Jin didn't believe that this special reward would only be a simple toad.

So he did not hesitate and chose to open the gift pack.

The next moment, the 【Toad Gift Pack】 in the inventory disappeared, replaced by… four toads.

It really was a toad!

It's just that these toads all have extraordinary names: 【Mang Gu Zhu Toad】, 【Mystic Ice Toad】, 【Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad】, 【Azure Blood Golden Toad】.

Liang Jin carefully looked at the detailed introduction of these toads again.

【Mang Gu Zhu Toad: King of all poisons, swallowing the whole thing can make you immune to all poisons.】

【Mystic Ice Toad: Can be combined with Arctic Jade to create a holy medicine for external injuries, stopping bleeding immediately without delay.】

【Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad: Can treat internal injuries and detoxify all poisons. No matter how severe the internal injury or how deep the poisoning, as long as you don't die on the spot, taking it will heal the injury and sucking it will remove the poison.】

【Azure Blood Golden Toad: A martial artist who takes one can gain ten years of cultivation.】

Liang Jin couldn't help but feel a burst of joy when he saw this.

The four toads that came out of this toad gift pack were really not bad.

They can prevent poison, treat external injuries, treat internal injuries, detoxify, and improve cultivation.

Having these things while traveling the world can really save your life.

Among them, the 【Mang Gu Zhu Toad】 and 【Azure Blood Golden Toad】 both need to be swallowed whole, so Liang Jin naturally planned to swallow them himself.

The 【Mystic Ice Toad】 needs to be used in combination with Arctic Jade, and Liang Jin's 【Ice Bed】 is made of Arctic Jade.

The 【Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad】 can heal internal injuries when eaten, and leaving it can absorb the toxins from the wound of a poisoned person, so it's better to keep it.

"I wonder if there will be any side effects from eating these things?"

Liang Jin hesitated slightly and decided to try it first.

Immediately, he took the 【Mang Gu Zhu Toad】 out of the inventory.

A strange toad that was no more than two inches long, with a body as red as blood and golden eyes, appeared in his palm.

Liang Jin did not hesitate and swallowed it in one gulp.

Soon, Liang Jin felt the changes in his body.
