Then he looked at the woman in white, "I can send you out, but you’ll have to wait. We need to prepare, and it will take at least about a month."
"During this ti, you can cultivate here. If you have any needs, feel free to speak up."
The woman’s eyes beca much clearer, but she still didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.
"Everyone, go back and prepare!"
...
After more than twenty days, Chen Xuan and his group were less than a thousand miles from rMolan Mansion.
It would take no more than two more days.
It was evening.
Chen Xuan finished cultivating.
"System!"
Sothing he did every ti.
...
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Dao Realm (Level 1), Spirit Cultivator: Xuan Rank (Early Stage)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Nine Elents Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Level 13 (167 million/408 million)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Level 15 (67 million/130 million))]
[Skill Points: 160 million]
...
"Almost there."
Chen Xuan murmured to himself.
It wouldn’t take long for the Nine Elents Dao Skill to have enough skill points for an upgrade.
But—
His gaze fell on the Myriad Manifestation Skill.
He shook his head helplessly.
It hadn’t progressed much over such a long ti.
Of course, there’s also good news; Luan Ying was about to break through to the mid-stage Xuan Rank, which should be in about ten days.
By then, each dual cultivation of spiritual power should bring in over a hundred thousand skill points.
"Whew—"
He exhaled a long breath and then withdrew from the system.
He wandered away from the carriage slowly.
"The scenery is nice."
Chen Xuan said with a smile, looking around at the lush green hills and waters. The fatigue of a day’s cultivation lessened considerably in the face of this verdant scenery.
In the distance, several won were fishing by the lake.
"Husband, co quickly!"
Luan Ying waved to him.
"Coming!"
When Chen Xuan arrived, he saw four or five fish at Luan Ying’s feet, while the other won had none.
No wonder she was so delighted.
"How about it, husband? Still quite impressive, right?"
Luan Ying looked at him smugly.
"You didn’t cheat, did you?"
Chen Xuan asked intentionally.
"Of course not. If you don’t believe , ask the sisters."
The group had agreed beforehand that no one was allowed to use spiritual power or spiritual force, relying purely on skill. Whoever caught the most fish would receive an inner garnt from each of the others.
"Alright, even if you won, it’s getting late. Let’s have grilled fish tonight. Liu Si, go prepare."
Chen Xuan ended the won’s bet and shouted loudly at Liu Si in the distance.
"Yes!"
Even with his Immortal Grade, he was still the weakest in terms of strength here, so these odd jobs naturally fell to him.
Of course, he was willing to do them.
Who wouldn’t, if they could reach Immortal Grade by doing errands? Only a fool wouldn’t do it.
Night!
Chen Xuan set up the array and started their usual nightly activities.
However... the carriage was still shaky, sothing he couldn’t change.
Fortunately, most of the won had gotten used to it by now.
Except for Qin Ying and a few others, who hadn’t.
After an intense battle, Chen Xuan lay on Luan Ying’s lap.
For so reason, he really liked this feeling now, especially the fragrance on her, which helped him sleep well.
Luan Ying’s hands gently caressed his face.
These days, except for the tight space in the carriage where he couldn’t move freely, everything else was very good, even more comfortable than in September City.
Before long, Chen Xuan fell into a deep sleep.
...
Two days later.
Chen Xuan and his party finally returned to rMolan Mansion.
"Ah.... finally ho."
Luan Ying was very excited, running into the backyard first.
Looking at the flowers and plants she had cultivated.
"Not bad, not bad, they’re all doing quite well."
She nodded with satisfaction.
"Arrange them for , I’ll be in the study."
Chen Xuan instructed Ning Xin beside him and walked towards the study.
"Ladies, this way please."
"Thank you!"
...
Returning to the study after a few months.
It was as clean as when he left, no doubt Qin Ke personally cleaned it.
After all, he wouldn’t let outsiders into his study.
He closed his eyes and sensed slightly.
"Not here."
So she must be in the Three Judicial Departnts.
As he had guessed, at that mont, Qin Ke was in the main hall of the Three Judicial Departnts.
However, the atmosphere was a bit cold.
Especially Zongzheng, who had a very unpleasant expression.
Because yesterday, the Ritual Departnt’s assessnt of the Three Judicial Departnts was delivered.
Grade D.
The Ritual Departnt’s assessnts are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.
The Three Judicial Departnts of their rMolan Mansion belonged to the lowest level.
In the past, grade C was already very precarious, and to remain stable, at least a grade B was needed.
Now they were rated grade D by those people from the Ritual Departnt.
Without any surprises, the chief and deputy director of the Three Judicial Departnts of rMolan Mansion would be replaced.
"Sir, what’s wrong?"
Qin Ke asked softly, having been sitting idly here for more than an hour, while Zongzheng hadn’t said a word.
But his ashen face clearly indicated sothing big had happened.
And it was a very big matter.
"Do you want to be the director of the Three Judicial Departnts?"
Zongzheng suddenly spoke, startling Qin Ke.
He didn’t understand what this ant.
He quickly stood up, speaking in panic, "Sir, don’t joke with . I’ve always been loyal to you. Becoming a Golden Suit is already a great blessing from my ancestors; how dare I dream of the director’s position? Please don’t scare ."
As he spoke, cold sweat even appeared on his forehead.
Clearly, he was genuinely terrified.
"Don’t be afraid, have a seat and let’s talk!"
Zongzheng comforted him.
He had just discussed with his elder brother, and since the Ritual Departnt had already rated them grade D, this result couldn’t be changed.
So it wouldn’t be long before he and his elder brother would leave rMolan Mansion.
But he was reluctant to leave cleanly after working hard here for so many years...
So he planned to let Qin Ke take his position.
