Seeing the skeletons of those people again, Zhou Xiang still felt very sad. If she were in this situation, she would definitely go crazy. She didn't want to stay in her space any longer unless it was necessary.
Kong Xianxian followed behind Zhou Xiang and observed her, which made Zhou Xiang frown, "Miss Kong Xianxian, do you have nothing to do?"
Kong Xianxian nodded, "Yes, if I don't absorb so much spiritual energy and find something to distract myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back."
"Why don't you just say that you think it's a pity that this spiritual energy is being breathed away by these mortals doing things?"
Kong Xianxian shook her head. "I didn't say that, let alone think that. I just think you're too calm. I've seen you so much outside the light curtain that I'm tired of you. Why are you so calm inside?"
Zhou Xiang thought Kong Xianxian was insane. "What kind of expression do you want to see on my face? Extreme joy or extreme sorrow? After the series of 'surprises' your Kong family has given me, even the most bizarre things won't surprise me."
Kong Xianxian was scolded and turned away.
Zhou wanted to accompany Ling Ran to do things and occasionally help out. When the team members saw that this young sister-in-law was so strong, they all felt a little ashamed and a little envious of the captain's blessing.
The transportation was proceeding in an orderly manner. The archaeologists also understood that this was not a place where they could stay for a long time, so they tried their best to collect the fragments in a box according to the site and then go back to compare and repair them.
It took two days and two nights to transport the objects out of the ship, and it took even longer to move the dozens of ships. Perhaps because of the spiritual energy in the formation space, these ships did not show much weathering after being broken, which was the most fortunate thing.
Five days had passed after all the objects in the formation space were moved out. Except for Kong Youran, everyone in the Kong family entered the formation space.
Tang Ganwen's escort work is in full swing, and Ling Ran is asked to participate. Zhou Xiang plans to stay in Huaixi Village for a few days to see the changes in the Kong family after absorbing spiritual energy.
Tang Ganwen pulled Ling Ran away, "There are two teams guarding here! What are you worried about?"
Zhou Xiang also urged Ling Ran to help, "My current fighting ability is stronger than yours. After the Kong family comes out, I will go home and wait for you."
Although she said so, Ling Ran no longer stuck by her side, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Every day she looked out at the Huai River, hoping that the Kong family would come out earlier so that she could go home earlier. She felt too lonely here.
Three days later in the afternoon, Kong Qianchen and Kong Xianxian brought Kong Haoran back to Huaixi Village. Zhou Xiang planned to go to the yard at the entrance of the village to see what changes had taken place in them.
The three of them took Kong Youran to the gate of the yard, looking out towards the Huai River.
As soon as Zhou Xiang approached them, he could feel the surging vitality in their bodies. Zhou Xiang suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted selling the spiritual energy to the Kong family.
Kong Qianchen glanced at her sideways, "Your regretful expression is so obvious, but it makes me feel happy both physically and mentally!"
Zhou Xiang ignored his provocation and asked calmly, "How much lifespan have you increased?"
Kong Qianchen paused. Knowing that her cousin didn't know what Uncle Nine had discussed with Zhou Xiang, Kong Xianxian answered for him, "Eight years."
"What about you? You looked like you were about to die. Did you gain as much as the Kong family master?"
Kong Xianxian's face has now become as rosy as a normal person's. After listening to Zhou Xiang's words, she shook her head and said, "About five years, six at most. If it's fortune-telling, it will be uncontrollable."
"Fortune-telling? With the country now at peace and prosperity, is it still necessary to use life force for divination? If so, it's because your family disregards your life for some purpose. So how much life do you have left?"
Kong Qianchen's face looked grim. Was Zhou Xiang trying to stir up trouble?
Kong Xianxian didn't have any thoughts. Dedicating herself to the family was her duty. "Two years."
"That means if you don't do anything, you can only live for eight years at most. That's like being diagnosed with cancer. Why would you want to stay in a family like this? Wouldn't it be better to spend the rest of your time eating, drinking, and having fun, living an ordinary life?"
"Zhou Xiang!" Kong Qianchen shouted with gritted teeth. This was a blatant instigation for his cousin to betray the clan.
"What are you shouting about? Do you think being born into the Kong family means you have no human rights? I only have eight years left to live, and I still have to work for you, the Kong family?
No wonder no matter how much you try to extend your life, your lifespan is still short. It's because you selfishly trapped everyone, causing those who ultimately exhausted their lives for the family to leave the world with resentment."
If it weren't for her elder brother, she wouldn't have the time to incite Kong Xianxian!
"Miss Zhou Xiang is right, Xianxian, wait until the family has made all the arrangements, then you can go and live the life you want. If you find spiritual energy again, I will notify you to come back and absorb it."
The five people turned around and looked in surprise at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared beside them.
"Ninth uncle."
"Father."
"Ninth Uncle."
"Ninth Uncle."
Zhou Xiang was shocked by the shouts of the four Kong family members, "Old Patriarch Kong?"
The middle-aged man nodded to Zhou Xiang, "Yes, it's me. In fact, this is my true appearance at my age."
"Age? How old are you?"
Patriarch Kong laughed heartily. "I don't deserve to be called old. I'm only 55 this year."
"What did you look like before?"
"It's exactly the reason I told you. Without this spiritual energy, I wouldn't have been able to survive for many years. This time, I've gained at least 20 years of life, making me the longest-lived person in the Kong family. I have to thank Miss Zhou for finding this formation space."
"Are you sure you are not laughing at me? In order to gain credit, I gave such a huge benefit to my enemy for nothing!" Zhou Xiang held his breath.
Patriarch Kong shook his head seriously, "I sincerely thank you, not only for this spiritual energy, but also for the clues you gave me, especially just now,
Qianchen, from now on, those like Xianxian who have less than ten years to live will be set free. Let them live the lives of ordinary people and experience the ordinary life they have always envied. But you are not allowed to do evil to ordinary people, otherwise, I will detain them and use up their last bit of vitality for the family."
"Yes." Kong Qianchen bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiu, and thank you, Miss Zhou Xiang." Kong Xianxian also bent slightly.
Oh my god, I was deliberately provoking her, okay? How did it turn out like this?
"Master Kong, were you the master of the family 32 years ago?"
Patriarch Kong shook his head. "Due to our cultivation and lifespan, we can only reign for 20 years at most. Perhaps because we've been so busy, we haven't really grasped the true reason for our lifespan. Thank you again, Miss Zhou, for reminding us."
"Are you very happy to see the regretful expression on my face, so you keep thanking me?" Zhou Xiang pointed at his own face.
Patriarch Kong laughed heartily, "No, absolutely not."
“That’s fake.”
"Really? I'm truly grateful to Miss Zhou. Regardless of the past, I only hope to do my best to make amends for her. I will correct the lies within the family. If you encounter provocations, you can take action. The Kong family will not retaliate. I hope that within my lifetime, I can resolve our conflict and find a solution to the longevity of the family."
