Oh, alright."
Mr. Jiu rose gracefully: "Since it's nothing major, I should head back now. Little Jin'er, the Human Clan ritual is scheduled for next week—remember to attend on time."
"Got it, Ninth Uncle."
Mr. Jiu glanced at Lu Qing with a gaze that seemed to convey a message: Boss, I've already called dibs.
Don't even think about it! If you want an heir, go make one yourself!
If he were willing to have kids, would he have waited until now?
He let out a small snort and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Lu Qing gave Little Seventh a brief sideways glance: "Little Seventh, explain."
Little Seventh's face turned pale. After hesitating for quite some time, he finally said, "I... I made a mistake."
"Falsifying information during a report—that adds to your guilt. Go receive your punishment."
