Seeing Ma Hongtian sighing, his face fell. Lin Qingwan was amused. Uncle Ma was so old, how could he still act like a child? He was really an old naughty boy!

So he hurriedly comforted him: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, you just keep practicing. The higher your cultivation level, the better you can hide the characteristics of a zombie. Until the end, as long as you want, no one will be able to discover the secret of your zombie!"

"Ah! Really?" Thinking of this, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to practice quickly. By then, who would know that I was a zombie?

But then he thought, how long will it take to practice this? So he just wanted to go shopping and watch the fun!

Ma Hongtian's expression was as unpredictable as a drama, sometimes happy, sometimes depressed, and sometimes full of confidence!

How could it be so funny? Lin Qingwan laughed. Seeing Lin Qingwan laughing, Ma Chengfeng couldn't stand it anymore and nudged his father with his elbow: "Dad, please stop embarrassing yourself here, okay? Didn't you see Miss Lin is laughing at you!" Although Ma Chengfeng's voice was very low. But how could that embarrassed look deceive people?

Ma Hongtian then realized that he was being rude. As an elder, how could he be so rude in front of a younger person? He quickly adjusted his mood and smiled at Lin Qingwan. But his lips were always pointed downwards. His bitter and forced smile amused Lin Qingwan again.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ma. I have a talisman that can conceal your aura. If you carry it with you, even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, he will not be able to detect the aura of a zombie on you."

As she spoke, Lin Qingwan tapped her bracelet, and two triangular talismans with ropes tied to them appeared out of thin air on the table next to her.

Lin Qingwan picked up the talisman and handed it to Ma Hongtian.

"Uncle Ma, if you take this with you, I guarantee that no one will recognize you! You can wander around the capital as you please, as long as you don't take this talisman. In the future, as long as you improve your cultivation, you will be able to do this kind of thing by yourself. By then, this talisman will be useless! Here are two, keep one for backup."

Seeing that Lin Qingwan was thoughtful and gave him an extra one, he was immediately moved to tears. Oh, although he didn't shed tears, his expression was very appropriate.

"Ms. Lin, I don't know how to thank you. Otherwise, you can let Chengfeng follow you and work like a slave for you!"

Ma Hongtian can’t repay his debt of gratitude, so his son will do the trick!

Unexpectedly, Ma Chengfeng was not angry when he heard his father's words. Instead, his eyes brightened up and he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! Father is right! I, Ma Chengfeng, will follow Miss Lin until death!"

Lin Qingwan was overwhelmed when she heard this. This father and son are really a father and son! She waved her hands quickly.

"No, no, no! What are you talking about, Uncle Ma! Chengfeng is my friend! How can I let him be my follower? This is too much for me. You are Chengfeng's father, so of course I will do my best to help you through this difficult time. As for thanking you, that's not necessary!"

Lin Qingwan quickly refused. Ma Chengfeng had been friends with her since the Four Nations Competition. He was kind-hearted, sincere, and loyal to his friends. She, Lin Qingwan, was willing to be friends with such a person. She would not ask for anything in return.

Seeing Lin Qingwan say this, it was Ma Chengfeng's turn to burst into tears. His eyes were blurred and he wiped away his tears vigorously.

"Yes! Friends! I, Ma Chengfeng, have a friend like Miss Lin in my life, and I will die without regrets!"

Thinking of how he had lived with his father since he was a child, people around him flattered him, claimed to be his friends, asked him to pay for meals, for the theater, and even for things. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. One day, he didn't want to do this anymore, and those so-called friends turned around and belittled him and insulted him. He really saw through these hypocrisies. He was unwilling to make friends anymore.

His father always said that he was a loner and didn't want to make friends. How could a businessman's son lock himself up at home and not go out? But he was heartbroken and didn't want to make another friend. He was sincere to others, but others just thought he was stupid, deceived him, and took advantage of him.

Until the Four Nations Competition, he was forced by his father to come to Dongao Country and met Lin Qingwan. At that moment, his desire to make friends seemed to have returned. After that, he always followed Lin Qingwan in the competition, and was the first one to ask to join the team. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingwan also treated him as a friend.

It was because of this friend that when his family encountered a disaster, Lin Qingwan helped him all the way without saying a word, destroyed the corpse-driving family, and saved his father. This is a true friend. He finally has a true friend.

Lin Qingwan didn't understand the turmoil in Ma Chengfeng's heart, and just thought that this child was sentimental and emotional. Then she patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Seeing that he couldn’t force his son to do it, Ma Hongtian tried to force himself to do it instead.

"Miss Lin, since you think Chengfeng is your friend, what about me? I can stay by your side, and you can also guide me in my cultivation, and I can help you with things, killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, I have nothing to do in this mansion all day, and I can go out with you to see the world."

Lin Qingwan's face was filled with black lines, and she hurriedly evaded the question: "Uncle Ma, what are you talking about? This is embarrassing for a junior like me! This is unacceptable!"

Seeing that Ma Hongtian was not giving up and wanted to say something else, Lin Qingwan immediately said: "However, if I need Uncle Ma's help in the future, I will definitely not be shy! When the time comes, Uncle Ma, please don't think I'm annoying!"

Seeing that Lin Qingwan had said this, Ma Hongtian quickly replied, "How dare I! As long as you ask, I will go through fire and water! Chengfeng is the same!"

Ma Chengfeng immediately agreed. After this round of evasion, the matter was finally over.

After saying this, Lin Qingwan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Ma Chengfeng also took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, but Ma Hongtian was the only one who couldn't drink and just watched.

After drinking tea, Ma Chengfeng said, "Miss Lin asked me to ask His Royal Highness the King of War for help. Later, it was His Royal Highness the King of War who helped me transfer various assets and safely arrived at Dongao. He also went to the Ministry of Households to explain the situation and helped us register our household registration. This is how we escaped the persecution of the Nanzhao court. I have to thank Miss Lin for her help."

Without waiting for Lin Qingwan to answer, Ma Chengfeng continued, "Now, the situation in the four countries is grim. In order to repay His Royal Highness the King of War for his help, my father and I have discussed and are willing to donate 100,000 cotton clothes and 5,000 shi of grain for the army. In addition, if His Royal Highness the King of War has anything for us to do, we will definitely do it without hesitation! Miss Lin, do you think this is appropriate?"

Ma Chengfeng spoke sincerely and even asked what she thought. Feeling the sincerity of the father and son, Lin Qingwan quickly stood up and bowed to them.

"Thanks to Uncle Ma and Chengfeng for their generous donation, it really solved our urgent need."

The imperial court was recruiting soldiers and horses, and autumn was about to come. Especially in the northern border area, the temperature difference between morning and night was large. At night, it was so cold that people shivered. These 100,000 cotton clothes could keep 100,000 soldiers from freezing, and the food and grass would also keep them from going hungry. It was a righteous act.

Seeing Lin Qingwan's affirmation of them, Ma Chengfeng was happy this time. He hurriedly said, "I will send someone to hand over this matter to His Royal Highness the King of War."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Qingwan said that she had something else to do and left the Ma residence. Ma Chengfeng and Ma Hongtian personally saw Lin Qingwan off, and only reluctantly returned to the residence when the carriage was out of sight.
