Lin Jiujiu didn't intend to ask. After the meal, she took a pot of wine and floated up to the roof, then sent a telepathic message to Baili Chenyuan.
"Want to come over for a drink?"
Almost as soon as Lin Jiujiu sent her telepathic message, Baili Chenyuan appeared beside her in an instant.
Lin Jiujiu generously tossed a pot of spirit wine at him.
Actually, she could also foresee what had happened, but since the Lin family was related to her body, her calculations might not be accurate and would come at a price.
Besides, with Baili Chenyuan around, who can hide anything from him, why should she waste her energy?
Baili Chenyuan took the wine, opened it, and took a sip.
He discovered that this wine actually had more spiritual energy than the one Lin Jiujiu had brought out last time.
Without waiting for Lin Jiujiu to ask any questions, Baili Chenyuan told her everything he knew.
"Something has happened to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The witchcraft case has been concluded, and the entire Duke of Zhenguo's family will be executed in a month."
She had thought something was going to happen, but she never imagined it would be related to the capital.
"Hasn't the matter of witchcraft been concluded?"
Before the Ning family's incident, the entire Zhenguo Duke's mansion had been imprisoned due to witchcraft allegations.
The reason she didn't take any action after learning about the relationship between Lin's father and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was that the case of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was still under investigation and there was no solid evidence yet, so there would be no result for the time being. Therefore, she felt that there was no need to intervene now.
We can resolve this together once she arrives in Beijing.
Moreover, she had previously performed a divination for the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, and the Zhenguo Duke Lin family's current predicament was a close call, and her father's kinship would not be severed, so she felt there was no need to rush.
They never told their family about their relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, nor did they mention the trouble that had happened to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
How did they know?
This is what Lin Jiujiu is more curious about now.
Baili Chenyuan thought for a moment and reminded him, "Your father and the others can read now, and the government has issued a notice."
Lin Jiujiu paused, realizing she had forgotten about it.
In the past, they wouldn't go to town for ten days or half a month at a time, so they were naturally out of touch with the news. Besides, they considered themselves ordinary people and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the imperial court.
Since Ning Yi came to their house, Lin Jiujiu has told the Lin family about her father's relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so that they could be mentally prepared in advance.
She never expected that before she could even acknowledge her relatives, she would hear the news that her family was to be executed.
No wonder the whole family had that expression.
Lin Jiujiu calculated the time and then asked Baili Chenyuan.
"Any news from Tantai?"
It was Tantai Yueming who told her that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had been framed.
She didn't believe that Tantai Yueming hadn't arranged for someone to keep an eye on this matter.
He will be completely unaware of how things have turned out this way.
However, what Baili Chenyuan said next made Lin Jiujiu realize that she had overestimated that guy.
"Tantai sent a message earlier, saying that the palace might be under someone's control, his elder brother was being held hostage, and he had already rushed back to the palace."
"idiot."
Lin Jiujiu cursed without any politeness.
Baili Chenyuan also felt that there was something wrong with Tantai Yueming's brain.
Originally, I planned to start the cultivation for my family members after Tantai Yueming returned, but now I have to do it earlier.
The affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion cannot be ignored.
She had already planned this trip to the capital. After settling matters in the capital, she would leave the mortal realm and head directly to the cultivation world.
Lately, for some reason, she has had a vague sense of urgency, it seems that the lower realm is really not suitable for her to stay any longer.
Before that, she had to arrange things at home.
Now, they have enough money and manpower, and once the whole family starts cultivating, ordinary people won't dare to cause them any more trouble.
She can finally feel more at ease now that she's gone.
Knowing the whole story, Lin Jiujiu didn't plan to wait any longer. She immediately notified her whole family and told them to prepare so that she could start their cultivation the next day.
As for Tantai Haoze, Lin Jiujiu originally wanted to hand him over to Tantai Yueming, but since he can't come back for the time being, she can only let Baili Chenyuan handle it.
Baili Chenyuan had no objection to this.
The Lin family members were both happy and worried when they heard that Lin Jiujiu was going to teach them cultivation so soon.
The good news is that they can finally cultivate and become immortals like their Jiu Jiu.
What worries them is that they know Lin Jiujiu is asking them to explain that she intends to leave.
Lin's mother looked at Lin Jiujiu with teary eyes, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Lin Jiujiu knew they were sensitive, so she didn't try to hide it from them.
"Mother, our separation is only temporary. Once you have reached a certain level of strength, I will come back to fetch you. Then we can reunite in the cultivation world."
Although they had agreed on this point long ago, the path to immortality is long and arduous, and none of them knew when they would be able to cultivate to the level that Jiu Jiu had mentioned.
They don't even know if they can reach that level.
This reunion, which seems so far away, still makes them reluctant to part.
In the end, Lin Jiujiu pulled out her trump card.
“Mother, you know that something happened to the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion. I must settle things at home first before I can go to rescue them with peace of mind. You don’t want my father to die before he has even met his real family, do you?”
As soon as Lin Jiujiu said this, everyone in the Lin family fell silent.
Because they had heard too many of Lin's father's sighs and lamentations over the past few days.
Although he had never met them and had no emotional connection with them, he knew they were his family and that they would soon be executed, so Lin's father couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
At this moment, his daughter said that there was still hope for them, and a glimmer of hope appeared in Lin's father's eyes.
But after a while, he composed himself and said seriously to Lin Jiujiu.
“Jiujiu, you have already cultivated immortality and are no longer a mortal. Tantai Yueming once said that cultivators cannot interfere in mortal affairs, otherwise they will be punished by heaven. Although your father also feels sorry for them, I don’t want you to take risks because of this.”
This is also why, despite hearing about the incident at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the whole family surprisingly didn't intend to let her know.
Lin Jiujiu smiled when she heard this.
"Even the Heavenly Dao needs a basis to unleash heavenly punishment. I can set up a sky-covering array to completely shield the secrets of heaven, so there's no need to worry about that."
Otherwise, how could I have managed to guide you all in your cultivation in this mortal realm?
When Lin's father heard what she said, he thought it made sense, but after thinking about it, he asked again.
"Didn't this stay at our house? Can you move it away?"
On the day Lin Jiujiu set up the array, he personally witnessed her throw the array plate into the sky and then the thing disappeared. He always thought that it was unique.
It wasn't that he lacked knowledge, but rather that when Tantai Yueming was telling them how rare treasures were in the cultivation world and how common it was to kill someone to bet on their treasures, she had mentioned her array plate.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a unique treasure, which led the Lin family to mistakenly believe that there was only one of its kind in the world.
But it has already been used up by Lin Jiujiu.
