Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Filially Blind Workhorse Brother in an Ancient Imperial Examination Story 6

"Master! Mistress! This is terrible! Our estate has been surrounded!"

The gatekeeper scrambled in, tripping over his own feet in a panic.

In the main chamber, Lu Shinian and Sun Furong were leaning back with their eyes closed, resting, while two maidservants gently massaged their temples. They had been deeply infuriated earlier that day, and their heads were throbbing with pain. No sooner had they begun to recover than this thunderous shout made the veins in their foreheads pulse with irritation.

The spirit-summoning ritual had finally concluded without disaster, and they had even gained an unexpected harvest; it was worth it in the end.

Huo Ziyin’s cultivation techniques and spiritual power were in constant circulation at all times, so for him, there was no such concept as wasting time. The attire he wore was, even in his own estimation, nothing more than common, off-the-rack goods; it could not compare at all to the garments worn by the true young masters of wealthy families standing nearby.

A voice suddenly rang out in the laboratory. Sun Luo was startled, a cold sweat breaking out across his back. He spun around, his face twisted in a grimace, desperately trying to locate the "thing" that could have spoken.

Fu Shixi took me and flew directly toward a different mountain path. We traveled along this road for an entire day and night before finally reaching the foot of Ruoshui Immortal Mountain.

On the television, a pundit and bitter rival of Manchester United began criticizing the team’s stars and their manager. Although his words feigned regret, his tone was dripping with mockery, instantly infuriating the Manchester United fans in the bar.

Lao Luo was utterly speechless. He had never expected that the shrewd Lin Yichen could do something so foolish. Asking a competitor to advertise for you—wasn't that just handing them ammunition?

Not far ahead of him lay a stretch of forest on the outskirts of the provincial capital. By following a rugged path through the woods, one could reach a valley, and it was in this valley that the Wei family currently resided.

"Aili was suddenly taken ill and hospitalized. The CEO has already gone, and I assume President Wei will be heading there as well," Jian Li said.

If Linyin’s medium abilities were fully exhausted, she would fall into a deep slumber. Ye Lan and Bai Lu were both aware of this, and in their current dire situation, if Linyin were to fall asleep, both Ye Lan and Bai Lu would be finished. Thus, this method was absolutely not an option.

After turning off his phone and placing it on Xinyi’s desk, Brother Tieshou walked out of the office and beckoned Qian Feng and Ganzi to join him.

As soon as he returned to his command tent, the Prince of Equal Rank could not wait to speak to Wu Jie, who had escorted him back.

She was a sophomore this year, named Luo Danhua. She wasn't necessarily stunning, but at one meter seventy-five, she possessed a model-like golden ratio, with her long, shapely legs being the primary focus of attention.

"Haha, Xiao Yu, you are truly lucky to have obtained the Dark Inheritance. This soul-attack technique alone has helped you immensely, though I wonder how much mental energy it consumes," Hei Bo said, sounding quite envious of Xiao Yu.

Therefore, neither Xiao Yu nor Hei Bo approached the cabin area of the Sacred Alliance, and Xiao Yu dared not even go near the Dark Alliance’s cabins; that would be nothing short of suicide.

The Jin family estate, home to Jin Yuanbao, was located on the outskirts of Luocheng, quite a distance from the imperial palace.

As the box opened, a ginseng root shaped like a human, with clearly defined tendrils and of pristine quality, lay nestled inside.

"No need. You and Qingqing hurry to the main hall. We have relatives visiting today; you both should meet them," Jiang Ru said with a loving smile before returning to the kitchen.

Upon looking at him, he was taken aback. Cheng Li’s eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy, and his face was so dark and somber that it seemed as if water might drip from it.

"Call him? I didn't make this for him, so why should I call him?" Qin Haonan said with a straight face, appearing quite blunt, as if he were telling the absolute truth.
