When he sat down at the main seat in the restaurant at 7:30 in the morning, Pei Yucheng signaled the housekeeper of Pei Mansion to bring the entrance map of Pei Mansion in Jingcheng. He had been planning on his tablet computer the route map for the major families arriving at Pei Mansion tomorrow.
No family can make any mistakes in the routes entering and leaving the city.
When Pei Yucheng received Ji Yuqi's somewhat resentful and pitiful gaze, he frowned and glanced at her indifferently.
But there was no emotion on his handsome face.
"Yucheng, eat breakfast first." The old lady of the Pei family saw Pei Yucheng still holding the tablet computer and seemed to have no intention of eating breakfast, so she immediately reminded him.
Pei Yucheng listened to the old lady of the Pei family. After hesitating for a moment, he turned off the tablet and handed it to the housekeeper of the Pei residence who was standing beside him.
Upon seeing this, Pei's housekeeper immediately took it respectfully.
Pei Quyan picked up a crystal steamed dumpling that the servant had helped him with and whispered to Pei Yucheng, "All of the Pei family's foreign relatives have always been eyeing the routes into Jingcheng. We can't let them figure out any of the routes. Therefore, the routes that the major families take to enter the Pei residence every year must not be repeated, so as not to give them any opportunity to take advantage."
The ever-changing route map in and out of the city is the most important natural barrier among the thirteen defense systems of the six major families in Jingcheng.
Can't let anyone destroy it.
Pei Yucheng responded: "The system will search and automatically alarm if there are any duplicate records."
Pei Quyan said: "Although current technology is advanced, precise, and convenient, we cannot rely on it too much. After all, humans can design it and can also change it."
If someone tampers with the retrieval system, it will be troublesome.
Pei Yucheng didn't say anything more.
Pei Quyan continued, "This year's sacrificial ceremony is special. The Pei residence's defense system should be activated in a new mode..."
Ji Yuqi was very confused.
The content of the conversation between Pei Yucheng and Pei Quyan, father and son, left her confused.
What roadmap, what defense system.
I don't understand at all.
Just when she was confused and trying her best to decipher what those things were, the servant beside her handed her a bowl of nutritious porridge. Ji Yuqi took it and put it to her mouth with a small spoon, but she didn't expect the porridge to be so hot.
“Ah~!”
Ji Yuqi covered his lips which were painfully burned by the porridge.
When I let go, I found that there was blood on my fingertips.
Ji Yuqi quickly took the small handkerchief printed with the family's teng diagram and pressed it against his lips.
Just when he went to the bathroom to wash up, Ji Yuqi noticed that there was a crack at the left corner of his lip for no apparent reason.
Very deep.
It's all a little swollen.
When Ji Yuqi was filming on the set, the weather was dry every winter. When she was resting, if she forgot to apply lip balm, her lips would be dry and cracked the next day.
It will also bleed.
But the wound is never this deep.
It won't hurt that much.
Ji Yuqi covered her bleeding lips, in so much pain that tears were about to come out, when she found that not only the people at the table, but even the servants standing in the hall, all had their eyes on her.
Ji Yuqi felt a little embarrassed.
She pressed the wound for a while, and after making sure there was no bleeding, she took out the small handkerchief.
However, the moment she took off the small handkerchief, Ji Yuqi discovered that everyone's eyes on her had changed.
Very weird.
Ji Yuqi felt inexplicably frightened.
She gently stroked the corner of her lips with her fingertips and explained, "The air in the room is too dry, so there's a crack."
