“In order to keep the poison God in a deep sleep, the old man came up with an idea twenty years ago. He wanted to steal something and use it to suppress the poison God so that he could keep it in a deep sleep for generations.
so he left the southern border and there was no news of him since. Not long after, the vital Gu he left in the tribe withered, and I found out that he was dead.
“What was it that was stolen?” Leena hugged the wooden box, her ocean-blue eyes shining with curiosity.
Granny Tiangang shook her head and patted the back of Lina’s hand. Her voice was kind as she said,”Granny is old and can’t stand the backlash of the heavenly secrets.”
Why else would they say that heaven’s secrets could not be revealed?
last night, I saw a change in fate. That thing is about to be born. Lina, you’re also involved. Granny Tiangang stared at her with a burning gaze.
“Me?”
Lina blinked her blue eyes. She couldn’t understand how an ordinary child like her could appear in granny Tiangang’s ‘story’.
go to the capital. Your cultivation is enough, but you lack experience. You can take this opportunity to go to the human world. Granny Tiangang added, ”
“I’ve discussed this with your father, and he has agreed.”
To the capital … leena looked at the wooden box in her hand and found that she wasn’t too resistant to such things. The first people she thought of were number three, number one, and Daoist priest Golden Lotus.

At noon, the warm sun hung in the sky and the Xu residence was filled with laughter.
The banquet was set up in the courtyard. The people of the Xu family sat at the tables on the left, while the colleagues and old friends of Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi ‘an sat at the tables on the right.
The county Magistrate of Changle County and the fast hands of the constables were also among them. Of course, Lu Qing, the chief of constables of the government office, was also there.
It was a pity that Li Yuchun, song tingfeng, and the others were in Yunzhou and could not attend the banquet.
Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi. an toasted one table after another. Xu Qi. an was just going through the motions, but when he heard everyone congratulating him and calling him ” Lord Viscount ” … He suddenly fell in love with this feeling.
At County Magistrate Zhu’s table, the fat County Magistrate sighed with emotion,”This official has a niece who is 28 years old and quite handsome. I wanted to marry her to ningyan, but it seems like I can’t do that now.”
County Magistrate Zhu’s daughter was already married. Otherwise, she would barely be worthy of Xu Qi ‘an. His niece, on the other hand, did not have a high enough status.
“Ningyan is now a Viscount. Only the daughters of wealthy families are worthy of him,” Constable Wang continued with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
When Lu Qing, who was sitting at the next table, heard this, he felt very upset and depressed.
Originally, with her identity as the Chief of Detectives of the magistrate’s office, it was more than enough to have a night watchman. Furthermore, they were of the same profession, a match made in heaven.
However, after Xu Qi ‘an was conferred the title of nobility, he could not marry a Female Constable as his wife. It would be inappropriate.
The banquet didn’t end until 1.30 p.m. Xu Qi ‘an and second uncle Xu were in charge of sending the guests off, while the aunt directed the servants to clean up the mess.
At 11:30 pm, Xu Erlang returned with his servants and maids.
As expected of a mother, Auntie instructed the cook to heat up a table of leftovers from lunch for Erlang.
“Erlang, have a good rest after eating. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the examination hall.” His aunt attentively picked up some food for her son.
It wasn’t mealtime yet, but Xu Erlang had to get up early the next day, so he had to eat early and rest early. If he didn’t sleep well, it would affect his exam tomorrow.
