"Ask Auntie Sue to prepare for lunch. I’m starving and tired, Master Lee is too." Lin Xuan Qi said and glanced over at Lee He Song.
Lee He Song chuckled and nodded his head.
The battle earlier had indeed exhausted so of their Five-Elent Qi.
Having a good al before they got back to replenishing their Five-Elent Qi sounded like a great idea.
"Xiu, do as what Master Lin had said." Xue Cong quickly instructed Xiu to inform Auntie Sue and Xiu got to it imdiately.
"So, what happened out there?" Yue Jie asked and the others nodded their heads.
Lin Xuan Qi gave out a sigh and told them what had happened, hiding the fact that he had battled with Lee Qing and got away from Eunuch Xin.
He only told them that the Sima Family and the Six Pulse Sword Sect were finally at battle with each other, and he had escaped in the nick of ti.
Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi’s expressions turned serious when they heard him.
They were relieved that he had co back safely, and they wanted him to stay in the mansion with them.
"Don’t go out anymore." All of them said in unison.
Lee He Song also agreed with it and said, "I can go out to check on what’s happening at the factories if you want to.
"Zhi Yong should also be of help."
"Master Lin, strong now, can help." Zhi Yong who had just co into the main hall, thumped on his chest and said.
Lin Xuan Qi gave them a smile and said, "Don’t you worry. I will if the situation calls for it."
He felt great to be surrounded with people who were loving and loyal to him.
Boom.
Another loud explosion could be heard in the distance and the ground trembled again.
Xue Cong and the others had to hold onto sothing to try and steady themselves.
Lin Xuan Qi walked over to the entrance of the main hall to see what was happening in the Sima Family mansion.
He was worried about Sima Ye and Sima Long with his wife inside it.
That made him ponder for a mont.
The Six Pulse Sword Sect seed to be much more prepared this ti.
Maybe he would have to send Lee He Song and Zhi Yong out to see if they could help out when things went south for the Sima Family.
He glanced in the distance where the three elders were still trying to break through the protection of the Formation Array in the Sima Family mansion.
...
anwhile inside the Sima Family mansion.
In the ancestor hall, Sima Yu, the Sima Family head, stood in front of rows of ancestor tablets with incense and offerings in front of the tablets.
Beside him, elders and other family mbers from the Sima Family stood.
"We should go out there and teach them a lesson." One of the family mbers was getting impatient with what was going on outside.
He raised his fist in anger and was ready to duke it out with the elders from the Six Pulse Sword Sect.
But Sima Yu turned back and stared at him.
The family mber imdiately felt an aura pushing down onto him and his hand drooped back to the side of his body.
Sima Yu shook his head at the family mber and said, "Letting them attack relentlessly is to show the others that we are restrained and that we were the righteous ones when it ends.
"The mansion’s Formation Array can only be destroyed by soone who is at least at Soul Formation Level.
"And out of the handful of Soul Formation Level cultivators in Da Qian Dynasty, they aren’t in Hong Feng City.
"So, there’s no worries for them to break the Formation Array."
"Sorry, family head. I was being too rash." The family mber cupped his hands at Sima Yu and said.
Sima Yu stroked his beard and said, "You are not wrong though. It’s about ti we give them a lesson."
He glanced over at the elder next to him and asked, "When will they co out from their cultivation?"
The elder next to him sighed and said, "They should be able to co out of it soon with the Nascent Soul Ascension Pills."
Sima Yu closed his eyes and thought for a mont.
When he opened his eyes, he scanned around and asked, "Where are Sima Ye and Sima Huo?"
"Sima Ye is battling with the disciples from the Six Pulse Sword Sect while Sima Huo hasn’t co back from the Governor’s Residence, I’m afraid..."
Sima Yu nodded his head and said, "Three of the elders go out and et the three flies that had been buzzing outside for so long.
"As for the others, make use of the commotion while the elders fight and bring so n with you to go and help Sima Ye and Sima Huo."
"Yes, family head." The roomful of people shouted in unison and they got busy.
"What about the Qing Feng Sect?" The elder standing beside Sima Yu whispered to him and asked.
Sima Yu stroked his beard again and said, "I will try to contact the sect master, Zhao Zi Nian again."
Sothing must have happened in Qing Feng Sect but he didn’t know what it was.
"That would be best." The elder said and they glanced at the n from the Sima Family streaming out of the ancestor hall.
...
"It’s alright. Everything will be fine. The family head will have everything in control soon." Sima Long held Zhang Jie close and patted on her back, trying to calm her down.
Zhang Jie shivered and held him tight.
With what was going on, she was scared and she lifted her head, "Now I wish our child was born in a mortal’s family."
Sima Long saw the tears rolling in her eyes, gave out a sigh and said, "I know... I know... But it is what it is now and we have to make sure we can provide the best for our child."
He held his hand onto Zhang Jie’s tummy and thought about how it might have been if he was in an ordinary family like Lin Xuan Qi instead.
