Qin Xian looked up in astonishment.
"What's so surprising?" Qin Xuan tapped the table with his backhand, picking up three copper coins with his fingertips. "Have you forgotten the Qin family's signature skills?"
You are shrouded in mystery, and my several divinations yielded no results, only a sense of kinship and deep connection. Furthermore, I observed that your lifeline is like a driftwood, almost unconnected to everything around you, thus revealing your extraordinary origins.
Although heavenly secrets cannot be openly spoken, since you possess the [bright light of the sun and moon], you should be able to understand what I am saying.”
As he spoke, Qin Xuan dropped three copper coins from his hand.
After reading it, Qin Xian looked embarrassed and said, "Grandpa, I am a junior with dull talent and my knowledge of the Heavenly Evolution Technique is rudimentary."
Qin Xuan looked disgusted and picked up the copper coins: "You should have said you couldn't understand it. You wasted my energy divining this!"
"The Heavenly Evolution Technique!" Qin Xuan exclaimed, his beard bristling and eyes wide. "I haven't even given it that name yet!"
You just blurted it out like that. If I change my name, all the blame will fall on you. Now I can't even stop using this name!
Qin Xian shrank back in dismay after being scolded.
For the first time, he discovered that although his ancestor had the appearance of an immortal, his temper was not much better than Qin Shaoji's.
"You coward, stand up straight." Qin Xuan rolled his eyes.
"Don't be timid and hesitant. You carry the destiny of the Qin family and are the chosen successor. How can you support such a large Qin family if you are timid and hesitant... Wait a minute!"
Qin Xuan's expression suddenly changed: "Is the Qin family still around?"
"Of course I'm here, I'm fine, what are you thinking?" Qin Xian said, both amused and exasperated.
"Phew~ That's good then." Qin Xuan stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Let's go. Things are about to get out of hand over there, and your tribulation is about to begin."
"ah?"
Qin Xian was bewildered.
"Don't you understand?" Qin Xuan glanced at him. "You're going to die. You're going to be dead right now. Do you understand?"
Qin Xian was startled.
Did Ancestor Qin Xuan sense that he was about to leave this place?
Qin Xian felt a pang of sadness: "Ancestor, I..."
Qin Xuan spoke first, bluntly: "I can't keep you, I don't want to keep you, and you shouldn't even think about keeping me. Get lost, understand?"
Qin Xian: ...
The sadness that had just welled up shattered into pieces.
┭┮﹏┭┮
I was rejected!
...
While Qin Xian and Gu Yujing were busy with their own tasks, Chang Le was already putting his plan into action.
Jiu Fanggui hadn't even had a chance to sit down at the reception desk before heading straight to the laboratory.
With surveillance and electronic defense systems, Jiu Fanggui borrowed Chang Le's [Network] and used it without knowing that he had a lower cultivation level than Chang Le. All the surveillance systems along the way were temporarily disabled.
With someone watching over them, Jiu Fanggui was able to handle the situation one after another without lifting a finger.
Jiufang Gui arrived at the laboratory as if entering an uninhabited place.
Chang Le kept watch on the only way to the laboratory from the floor where it was located.
Jiu Fanggui unlocked several locks and entered the laboratory.
While Chang Le was keeping watch in the outer corridor, his exceptional hearing picked up the commotion upstairs. He could hear more than one group of people going up and down, accompanied by a jumble of shouts.
Then, looking out the window, she saw that the soldiers who usually passed by on time outside the building were nowhere to be seen, but several armored vehicles had appeared in the open space outside the building. There were people in the vehicles, but she didn't know how many people were in the back compartments, or what kind of weapons they were carrying.
Something's happened!
There must be some conflict between the old-school and new-school factions upstairs.
Chang Le immediately realized that, in addition to the danger of an accidental clash, the building might soon be under strict lockdown. She and Jiu Fanggui had to leave the building as soon as possible, preferably the central building, which was under the most tight control—before the old and new factions took complete coercive measures.
Chang Le turned to head towards the lab, intending to offer a reminder, when Jiu Fanggui emerged empty-handed, but with several storage devices on his fingers. It's worth noting that these days, most storage devices are ring-shaped, a design borrowed from fantasy novels.
Jiu Fanggui guessed what had happened just by looking at her face: "Has something happened? Let's go immediately!"
Jiu Fanggui pulled her directly to the window near the back of the building, shattered the window, and the two left through the window.
When the two arrived at the parking spot, they found a group of soldiers gathering nearby, fully equipped and ready to go.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the two hid to the side. After the group of soldiers left, the two found a prepared car, got in, and drove away.
The vehicle left through one of the exits of the central building. After the inspector at the exit received the pass that Jiu Fanggui had forged for Shen Hongchou, he looked up and met Jiu Fanggui's gaze. He nodded almost imperceptibly and then let the two of them leave.
"This is the exit controlled by the new faction. They will obey Shen Hongchou's orders. The person checking us was favored by me before, so I took care of him and let us go," Jiu Fanggui explained simply to Chang Le.
The two drove out of the city center of Jingwei City. At this moment, Chang Le felt a slight electric current stimulation from the communicator, which was a message notification.
This communicator doesn't belong to this era; it can't be shown to Jiu Fanggui, otherwise there's no way to explain it.
Fortunately, Jiu Fanggui was sitting in the front row, and Chang Le took the opportunity to glance at him while hiding his position.
It was sent by Gu Yujing:
[Gu Zhongshu led his men out of the city from underground and is now in the south of Hua'an City. I just arrived. Wei Baiyu is leading his troops on their way. The entire Hua'an City is probably under control.]
Outside the city?!
Chang Le was startled.
The two factions acted so quickly; it seems that five days is just a pretext, and they're determined to turn against each other today!
If the two factions set up defenses outside the city, their attempt to move north would inevitably be blocked.
Chang Le hesitated for a moment, but still told Jiu Fanggui: "Sir, there is news that the two factions in the south of Hua'an City are preparing to fight. The city is under control, and we can't get through."
