This night was destined to be a sleepless night for most people. The huge thunder flash and explosion woke up all the sleeping people in Yingya City from their dreams.
The power of thunder even made many ignorant people think that God was killing demons, and they knelt down to pray for God's blessing.
And the perpetrator of all this, Miss Chai, had already sneaked back to her boudoir. She had no idea how much impact her revenge had on the people in the city and the Wu De Guards.
The next morning, light snow began to fall in the sky, and traces of white frost covered the window eaves.
Chai Jiangcui, wearing a light yellow coat, stood alone in the courtyard, reaching out to gently catch a snowflake, with a faint smile on her face.
"The water is covered with frost and snow, and the lake is frozen with ice."
People are in high spirits when happy events happen. The Lianxin Sect stronghold in the city has been solved, and the huge rock that has been hanging in Chai Jiangcui's heart has temporarily fallen to the ground.
After such a huge change, the evil heretics of the Lianxin Sect should have no time to pay attention to themselves anymore. During this period, they can finally develop their wretchedness.
"After all, in this world, strength is still respected. If I am strong enough, no matter what the Heart Refining Sect is, I will overthrow it with my strength."
Seeming to have a clear understanding in her heart, Chai Jiangcui shook off the water droplets from the snowflakes in her hands and walked towards the inner courtyard.
It has been a few days since I visited my father, so it was indeed inappropriate. Now that the serious worries in my heart have been eliminated, it is time to go out and have a look.
Speaking of which, it has been so long since she traveled here and she has never met her other four brothers.
In the main hall of Chai Mansion's courtyard, Chai Jian was sitting on the main seat, sipping rice porridge. On both sides of him, two ladies and three young men were sitting.
These three young men are Chai Jiangcui's original eldest brother - Chai Xingzheng, second brother - Chai Anyang, and fifth brother - Chai Anyian.
Among them, Chai Anyian and Chai Anyang were born to the second wife, and Chai Xingzheng was born to the eldest wife.
The Chai family is a prominent family in Yingya County. Their ancestral home is outside Yingya City and there are many branches below. The Chai family in the city was just built to facilitate Chai Jian's office.
If you want to become the heir of the Chai family, the most important thing is to get Chai Jian's approval. Although Chai Xing is the eldest son of the Chai family, the final inheritance of the Chai family's future property is still decided by Chai Jian alone.
So the three of them usually look harmonious on the surface, but in fact there are still some overt and covert conflicts secretly.
However, as a woman, Chai Jiangcui was not very interested in all of this, and now that she has entered the immortal world, she has no idea about it.
Chai Jian seemed a little surprised by Chai Jiangcui's sudden arrival. He waved his hand and asked the servant on the side to quickly add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile:
"Tui'er is finally willing to come out for breakfast today. If you are interested in the things your father gave you, you can take a look at them, but it's best not to be too obsessed with them. After all, luck is hard to come by."
Apparently, Chai Jian mistook Chai Jiangcui's intrusiveness for more than half a month and thought it was because she was too obsessed with practicing magic.
Upon hearing this, Chai Jiangcui bowed respectfully to Chai Jian and whispered:
"Thank you for your concern, Daddy, but Cui'er has developed some skills in the past few days."
"Um?"
Chai Jiangcui's answer surprised Chai Jian. His eyes opened slightly and his tone was hesitant.
"Some knowledge? Is what Cui'er said true?"
Although Chai Jian still pretended to be calm on the surface at this moment, his slightly trembling eyelids had betrayed him.
Chai Jiangcui noticed Chai Jian's excitement and no longer concealed it, saying bluntly:
"I don't dare to hide it from dad, Cui'er has already started."
After receiving Chai Jiangcui's affirmative answer, Chai Jian could no longer conceal his excitement. He slammed the table and laughed:
"Okay, God is really helping our Chai family. Cui'er, you have settled a regret for your father this time."
Everyone who was having breakfast was shocked by Chai Jian's palm. They didn't know what Chai Jiangcui had done to make Chai Jian so happy.
However, Chai Xingzheng reacted quickly. Although he didn't know what the father and daughter were trying to do, he was the first to compliment him:
"Congratulations to my father, but my little sister is able to gain something because of your blessings, father."
So shameless!
Chai Xingzheng's words aroused a burst of contempt from Chai Annian. However, although they secretly cursed their eldest brother in their hearts, they immediately added compliments. After all, neither of them wanted to remain in front of their father.
Leave a bad impression.
Upon seeing this, the eldest lady Qing and the second lady Chen looked at each other and secretly suppressed the words they had prepared.
Originally, the two of them had already prepared a draft when Chai Jiangcui entered the main hall, intending to accuse Chai Jiangcui of not respecting filial piety in order to lower Chai Jiangcui's image in Chai Jian's mind.
But who would have thought that something like this would happen now. If she accuses Chai Jiangcui at this moment, she will no longer cause trouble for her, but will make herself uncomfortable.
"Master, what exactly did Cui'er do? To make you so happy? Can you tell us about it? We are very interested in it."
After the sons had finished complimenting her, the eldest lady Qing finally asked her question.
Sure enough, after she said these words, the sons and the second wife couldn't help but turn their attention to Chai Jian. Obviously, they also wanted to know what Chai Jiangcui had done, and wanted to see if they could do the same to win over Chai Jian.
The sword delights the heart.
However, after Chai Jian calmed down, he had no intention of telling everyone the truth. He just smiled slightly and whispered:
"This is a secret between us father and daughter. Don't ask too much. Let's have a meal. Cui'er, come to the study with me after you finish eating."
Chai Jiangcui, who had just watched a family drama and was still enjoying it, was stunned for a second when he heard this, and then hurriedly said:
"Okay, Daddy."
Chai Jian's answer disappointed several of his wives, but due to Chai Jian's power and authority in the Chai Mansion, they all wisely did not dare to stand up and continue to ask questions.
But today's breakfast is destined to be tasteless.
The main hall became quiet again, and several people lowered their heads thoughtfully. They even considered whether they should find Chai Jiangcui's personal maid Zi Huan later to find out what happened before.
Chai Jiangcui didn't eat very fast, and it could even be said that he was procrastinating. But Chai Jian, who had already eaten, was just waiting quietly, without any intention of urging.
…
In the quaint study room, the door was closed, and the father and daughter stood facing each other.
Chai Jian rubbed his fingers gently and said calmly:
"Tui'er, you said you have already started, can you show it to your father?"
"Well, daddy, please keep an eye on me."
Chai Jiangcui knew that Chai Jian wanted to confirm whether he had truly entered the immortal world.
She stretched out her hand to pinch out a magic formula, and dots of light green thunder appeared on her fingertips. As she pointed out, the light green thunder turned into a bolt of lightning, directly smashing a vase on Chai Jian's desk.
'My damn desire for destruction, why do I always want to destroy something?'
Looking at the broken vase on the ground, Chai Jiangcui felt a little annoyed.
After seeing the green thunder, Chai Jian's hands trembled slightly again.
Although as a county guard, he had never seen Wu Dewei's immortal master cast spells, but this was different.
The path to immortality is elusive, and countless people seek it but cannot find it. Now that his little daughter has such a blessing, this is also Chai Jian's luck.
"Hoo~"
Taking a deep breath, Chai Jian retracted his right hand into his sleeve and firmly held the magistrate's official seal. With the slightest coolness coming from inside, he finally kept himself from losing his composure.
After lightly patting Chai Jiangcui on the shoulder, Chai Jian made a decision.
"Tui'er, wait for me a moment."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for his daughter's answer, Chai Jian turned around and walked to the bookshelf in the study room. After opening a few books, he took out an exquisite long wooden box and a light yellow key from a hidden compartment.
‘Um, Dad, is your study a treasure house? No wonder it’s not open to others.’
Looking at the two things that Chai Jianyou took out from the study, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Chai Jian didn't know that his precious daughter was criticizing him so much in his heart. He placed the long box in his hand on the table and opened it, revealing a long sword wrapped in a gorgeous light blue scabbard.
"My father doesn't know much about spiritual practice, but he also knows the importance of the Dharma Land. Since you have already entered the immortal path, mortal weapons will not be of much help to you.
This sword is named Shuiyue. It is a magic weapon used by practitioners. It was also hidden by my father in his early years. Now I will hand it over to you. This key is the key to the Chai Mansion Treasury. With this key, you can
You can withdraw money from Chai Mansion at will."
With that said, Chai Jian handed the two items in his hand to Chai Jiangcui without any hesitation.
Chai Jiangcui took it solemnly, held the hilt of the sword with her bare hand and drew it gently.
Zheng——
A cold light glowed on the sword, a trace of spiritual power was injected into it, and a little bit of frost condensed on the tip of the sword.
Chai Jiangcui suddenly felt in his heart that as long as he injected spiritual power and swung the sword, even if the sword edge failed to hit anyone, the frost attached to it would still be able to freeze the enemy.
If this sword were placed in the mortal world, it would be a magical weapon after all, and now it was handed into his hands so easily.
For some reason, Chai Jiangcui always felt that her nose was a little sore and her throat was a little blocked.
After being in this world for so long and meeting so many people, Chai Jian is probably the only one who can treat her sincerely.
He put away the Shuiyue Sword and bowed respectfully to Chai Jian.
"Thank you dad for the treasure."
Different from usual times, this gift was completely sincere to her.
"Haha, Cui'er, as long as you like it."
Chai Jian Laohuai smiled with relief, then his face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Although Cui'er, you have already set foot on the immortal path, after all, the road of cultivation is still short, so you must be cautious in everything. But if you cause any trouble outside and can't handle it, you can also come to my father. My father's old face is still...
Those who can call upon the Imperial Military Guard."
Upon hearing this, Chai Jiangcui nodded sternly and said solemnly:
"Tui Er understands!"
"Okay, I've given you the things. Dad, it's time for me to go to the government office. Please be careful and don't be too inflated."
Chai Jian nodded happily and waved his hand, indicating that Chai Jiangcui could go back.
…
A moment after Chai Jiangcui left the study, Chai Jian, who had always remained calm, suddenly bent down, picked up a fragment of a vase, and murmured in a low voice with a distressed look on his face:
"This girl doesn't need to break my antique vase when showing it off. She bought it for thousands of taels of silver! Oh~"
