Listening to Shi Guang speak, Beisitian was stunned. The Shi Family was indeed well aware of their own history. Not long ago, she had planned to reach out to the Shi Family, but due to subsequent events, it was postponed and left aside. Unexpectedly, the Shi Family ca looking for her themselves.
"Recently, our Shi Family’s main house appeared," Shi Guang said.
Beisitian: "???"
Could it be that she was mistaken?
"Back then, the Shi Family was divided into two factions. One was willing to recognize the main house, while the other naturally was not. However, the Shi Family has its own rules, so differences are resolved by voting," Shi Guang continued.
This, to a certain extent, prevented internal chaos.
"So, did the two factions end up fighting?" Desan asked from the side.
Shi Guang rolled his eyes, "Of course not. Once they voted, what would fighting achieve?"
Desan was montarily stumped by the young man’s response, huffed, and fell silent.
"The final voting result was disagreent," Shi Guang said, smacking his lips, "because they didn’t produce the main house’s token, the Double Fish Jade Plate. It wasn’t enough just to have the surna Shi and know the secrets of that ti."
Beisitian lowered her gaze. As expected, it was the Double Fish Jade Plate. It seed the Shi Family was indeed a subsidiary family of the Bei Family in the past.
Her main objective this ti was to find Qi Xindao. It was wise for now not to stir up trouble. She said nothing, continuing to listen to Shi Guang’s explanation.
"The elders in the family always felt that the current Shi Family was stronger than the main house. They truly didn’t want to bow to a family weaker than themselves. Who would have guessed they were exceptionally strong, so strong that the Shi Family montarily lost the ability to resist?" Shi Guang said, closing his eyes.
"What’s so remarkable about this main house of the Shi Family?" Beisitian asked.
Shi Guang frowned slightly and said, "I heard they hired soone formidable, adept in bacteria."
Beisitian exchanged glances with Desan and Qiao Hongjie, seeing the speechlessness in each other’s eyes. As expected, Qi Xindao’s sudden departure was no coincidence, and it wasn’t just not coincidental; it also brought a huge hurdle for them.
Mystic Doctors skilled in bacteria are as rare as those skilled in poisonous insects. There might be people like Desan, the Great Power hidden among the populace, but soone like Qi Xindao, skilled in bacteria, was probably unique at least in this era. Whether the new generation had anyone similar was unknown.
"Are those people in your main family?" Beisitian asked.
Shi Guang shook his head, "I heard they’re coming to Beijing. No one knows what their purpose is, but it’s certain they have motives!"
Coming to Beijing, eh? That’s great. No need for her to venture out.
"Is there anything special about this main Shi Family?" Beisitian asked.
Shi Guang shook his head, "Just that they’re powerful, especially during fighting talismans, they don’t seem to feel fatigue."
That’s quite terrifying. Fighting talismans require even more spirit than talisman making, and most Mystic Doctors can achieve this. However, the vast majority of Mystic Doctors have no combat experience. In short, they’re a bunch of doctors, so having doctors fight, isn’t that a bit ridiculous?
But everyone in the main house of this Shi Family seed to know how to fight, employing varied thods in fighting talismans. They not only caught the Shi Family off guard but also caused them substantial losses in tactics.
At this ti, Wei Zhongyuan said, "Those people are already on their way to Beijing, accompanied by so high-ranking family mbers from the Shi Family."
This was the news he received before arriving. Other than this, the rest of the information was still illegally blocked, and the Association was preparing to intervene in negotiations.
Upon hearing this, Shi Guang was a bit agitated. He hadn’t fully recovered, struggling to stand, and the effects of the bacteria lingered.
"Is there soone nad Shi Jianyun among them?"
Wei Zhongyuan shook his head, "We don’t know exactly who is coming."
Shi Guang was sowhat disappointed. Shi Jianyun was his father, the next Family Head, and if sothing happened to his father, the Shi Family might be saved, but it would also plunge into civil war.
With Beisitian and others joining in, Shi Guang felt a sense of relief and temporarily cald down to recuperate. He needed to recover quickly!
Wei Zhongyuan hastened staff to start gathering intelligence, particularly on where the opposing party would stay and what their goals were. It was crucial to find out.
Unexpectedly, sothing unforeseen seed to happen to the group from the Shi Family during their journey. At the ti, everything was kept confidential externally, leaving the public with no starting point. However, based on the itinerary, it was deduced that they arrived three days later than the normal ti.
What happened to the group during those three days is unknown, but intelligence reported casualties on their side!
Recently, Beisitian conducted another round of research on her daughters’ blood, and the experintal results were surprisingly exciting. Although the blood of the two little girls was repellent, it could remain calm when encountering bacteria, albeit not for long before the bacteria’s death.
Also, thinking from another perspective, it’s unknown whether different bacteria would have varying effects on the mutual repelling of blood.
This ti, the bacteria were chronic and persistent. If not exterminated, Shi Guang would slowly die under their influence.
Shi Guang curled up in a side room of the small courtyard, and before he was fully confident, he would resolutely avoid letting the other party discover this escaped fish.
For unknown reasons, the group remained inactive for a while after arriving in Beijing. However, Luo Xudong eventually found out their lodging address, so they wouldn’t be lost for now.
Initially, Beisitian and others were still waiting, but after several days passed without any apparent action from the other side, it beca frustrating. Without their actions, how could they find Qi Xindao?
At this point, Wei Zhongyuan received news that they planned to hold an auction in Beijing. It was said that the items in the auction were of quite a high caliber. So powerful and diverse talisman diums, ancient three-thousand-year-old ginseng, and even young children with excellent auction qualifications!
The Association certainly couldn’t ignore such matters, but their comprehensive strength was not as formidable as the Shi Family’s. Despite nurous attempts, the Association couldn’t make the Shi Family compromise. On the contrary, the Shi Family taphorically slapped the Association, catching them off guard.
Beisitian imdiately decided to participate in this auction!
However, the auction hall was only open to big shots from various circles, and an invitation was likely needed!
As for obtaining these invitations, Zhou Quan volunteered to get them. Shortly after, four gold-edged invitations appeared in their hands.
This ti, Desan, Wei Zhongyuan, Tian Zhi, and Beisitian would attend.
Qiao Hongjie went as himself, not getting involved with Qingyu’s group, while Yan Jiu and Feng Qi accompanied him.
Upon arriving here, Beisitian hadn’t really encountered many auctions. Bidding determined the price, and only cash was accepted as paynt; other thods were not applicable.
