Hua Xiaoshuang had been plotting for hundreds of years, all for the purpose of using Chu Yue's body to nurture the Cold Poison Pearl. After the Cold Poison Pearl had been nurtured for three thousand years, she would take it out and refine it in one fell swoop to break through to the Emperor Realm!
However, Lin Caogen suddenly appeared, not only absorbing the cold energy from Chu Yue's body, but also somehow shrinking the Cold Poison Pearl that had been nurtured for hundreds of years! If he were to continue using the Cold Poison Pearl to cultivate, all of my plans would be ruined!
Lin Caogen led everyone to the Chu family mansion. The gatekeeper was surprised to see his young mistress bring so many people to the mansion!
What the butler found most unbelievable was that all the people the young lady brought were ordinary people with no cultivation. Except for the young man leading the group, who was a minor Immortal Emperor at the third level, the others were all extremely ordinary!
This was also due to Lin Caogen having everyone wear Concealing Qi Pills to hide their Yuan Qi fluctuations!
Otherwise, wouldn't the arrival of more than a dozen Emperor-level experts in Youlan District cause a huge upheaval?
As soon as Lin Caogen led everyone into the mansion, they unexpectedly encountered the Youlan Emperor Chu You, along with his first wife Ruolan and his newly acquired second wife Wang Yuhuan!
"Moon! Where have you been? Why did you bring so many people to the manor?"
Chu You was utterly astonished when he saw Lin Caogen and his group! Each of them was full of energy and didn't look like an ordinary person, yet they possessed no fluctuations of vital energy! Especially the six women, each more beautiful than the last! Among the six women, the Purple Star Emperor Du Ziqiong was arguably the least attractive!
However, Du Ziqiong was wearing a veil and a plain pink dress, and her image and temperament were very different from before. She was also wearing a concealing pill provided by Yao Lao. In addition, she had not met Chu You for more than 100 years, so Chu You did not recognize this Ziwei Emperor for a moment!
As for Xuan Yuanpo, his family's secret skill is disguise. After wearing the Concealment Pill, even Chu You, his old rival who had fought him for hundreds of years, did not recognize him!
Chu Yue said, "Father! Don't worry about it! These people are all my friends!"
At this moment, Chu Yue's second wife, Wang Yuhuan, frowned and said, "Yue'er! Our Chu family isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come in! After all, we are the residence of an emperor. I think there's only one Immortal Emperor among this group of people! The rest of them don't even have any Immortal Yuan fluctuations. I really don't understand why you're so disparaging of your own family!"
Chu Yue coldly said, "Wang Yuhuan! My friends are none of your business! Father, if you side with this woman, I'll just take my friends and leave this house, never to return!"
Chu You said, "Alright, that's enough! In the end, the last successor of my Chu family is Yue'er! What's wrong with bringing a few people home? At Yue'er's age, it's time to recruit retainers!"
Wang Yuhuan said, "Master! Look at the kind of people the young lady has recruited. They don't even have any spiritual energy fluctuations! They're clearly just a Celestial Emperor with a dozen or so servants!"
Chu You said, "It doesn't matter! Let's go! The moon is so bright tonight! Let's have a good family reunion dinner! Yue'er, come and eat after you've taken care of your friends!"
Chu Yue originally wanted to refuse, but her mother, Ruolan, said, "Yue'er! Listen to your father. He has to go to the Five Mountains District to discuss important matters in a while, and he probably won't be back for a while!"
Chu You suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Yue'er! Did your cold poison flare up today?"
Chu Yue shook her head and said, "No! No need for Father to worry! The onset of the cold poison is likely to be delayed! I'll go and settle my friend first!"
After saying that, Chu Yue led Lin Caogen and the others directly to the guest rooms inside the Chu residence.
"Butler, arrange 19 of the best rooms!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Looking at the guest rooms in the Chu residence, Lin Caogen sighed inwardly. This emperor's mansion was much larger than any imperial palace on Earth! Moreover, it was extremely luxurious and elegant! Staying here would truly be a pleasure!
Chu Yue said, "Young Master Lin! You and your servants can stay here for now. You can focus on your cultivation here without worry. If you need anything, just ask me or the steward! My father wants me to attend a family banquet, so I won't keep you company for now!"
Lin Caogen smiled and said, "Miss Chu, please make yourself at home!"
Chu Yue continued, "Young Master Lin, I should have told my father today that you helped me expel the cold poison, but there were too many people around, and I was afraid it would be detrimental to you, so I didn't say it in public! I'll discuss this with my father privately at the family banquet later. If you don't mind, I can ask my father to give you a high-ranking official position!"
Lin Caogen smiled and said, "Miss Chu is too kind! I am already very content to be able to stay in the Chu residence and see you often! I hope Miss Chu will promise me that you will not tell your father about today's events! The time is not right yet, and telling him would only add trouble and worries to my life!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue blushed!
"Is he confessing his feelings to me? Ugh! How embarrassing!"
Chu Yue's heart pounded like a deer, and she said, "Alright then! Young Master Lin, you all rest first! I'll be going now! Xiao Shuang, you come with me to Father's!"
Hua Xiaoshuang was taken aback. She quickly said, "Miss! Is it inappropriate for me to attend your family banquet?"
"What's wrong with that! You can stand to the side!"
Hua Xiaoshuang had no choice but to go with Chu Yue!
She had originally planned to find an opportunity to kill Lin Caogen tonight, but Chu Yue insisted on dragging her into it, so she had no choice but to find another opportunity!
Lin Caogen was strolling alone in the Chu residence when he overheard two servants chatting nearby: "Have you heard? Master will probably be away from Youlan District for several years!"
Another person said, "I've heard about it before! The cult leader, Inoue Village, sent people to dig a tunnel in the Five Mountains District! Now the entire Five Mountains District is sending people to look for the tunnel exit. I heard that once the cult breaks through the ground, it will cause a massive outbreak! Even the Five Mountains Emperor, Huang Feihu, will be beaten to death by the cult!"
