"That's not right..." Bastet carefully distinguished, "She's not the real nine-tailed fox..."
"It's just that she has the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox..."
Even so, it was still a very terrifying thing.
The nine-tailed fox was an ancient sacred beast.
Even if it only had a trace of its bloodline, it was still an extraordinary great demon!
However, such a great demon lived in seclusion here.
This matter itself was unusual.
"It seems that Master's family has a big secret..." Bastet thought about it and didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Because there were some things that even thinking about was already blasphemy.
That was an extremely dangerous thing.
Once they went deep, it was very likely that they would attract a huge disaster!
… …
The group of people entered the Ling family's ancestral house.
The old woman walked to the offering table very skillfully and lit the incense sticks one by one. Then, she inserted them one by one in a certain order.
It seemed that the sense of ritual was very strong.
Ling Ping'an had seen it many times, so he knew that this kind of ritual was carried out according to the birth date of the ancestors of the Ling family and the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
In the past, he was baffled.
But now, he already knew from the genealogy that the Ling family used to be a fraud family in Jingchu.
Therefore, it was not surprising that there was such a complicated ritual.
The strange thing was that it was already the middle of the 28th century of the Republic era, but there was still such a complicated ritual passed down among the people.
However, he didn't think too much about it.
He didn't even ask about the meaning behind this ritual.
The reason was very simple. According to Ling Ping'an's speculation, his ancestors were probably in the era of Gaozong. They couldn't survive in Jingchu anymore and came to Guangnan to make a living.
People who were far away from their homeland would naturally regard the ancient traditions and rituals of their homeland as some kind of spiritual sustenance to comfort their homesickness.
Of course, he couldn't ask because of the taboo of the venerable.
In any case, the past of more than two hundred years ago was already in the past.
Didn't they see that the Federal Empire, who had fought to the death in the hundred-year war, had already made peace with Butania?
After the old woman finished doing this, she bowed deeply to the divine master tablets and then bowed deeply, "My lords, the young master has finally grown up..."
"The Ling family has a successor..."
As she spoke, she kowtowed deeply again.
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang also kowtowed, their eyes turning red.
Ling Ping'an watched and couldn't stand such an atmosphere. He didn't like such a scene by nature, so he turned his head away.
Fortunately, this kind of atmosphere soon passed.
The old woman, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Wang all stood up and looked at Ling Ping'an.
"Young Master … will you be staying at home today?" The old woman asked.
Ling Ping'an shook his head with a smile and said, "The bookstore in the city still has to open..."
"Oh …" The old woman was a little disappointed, but she did not insist.
This kind of thing could not be forced.
Because the young master had grown up!
He had grown up!
The young master who had already grown up could not be bound by anything or rules.
He was already him!
Thus, the old woman smiled and said, "That's true … Business is important …"
Ling Ping'an also laughed.
Compared to the others, he had a closer relationship with Granny Hu.
After all, they had spent a lot of time together.
He helped the old woman sit down.
"Young Master …" The old woman said, "Since you don't plan to spend the night at home … then … why don't you meet everyone …"
She looked at Ling Ping'an, "I also know that the young master doesn't like that kind of traditional old relationship..."
"So, let's meet once and treat it as a friend!"
The expressions of Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang, who were behind the old woman, changed slightly.
However, it was obvious that the old woman was the leader among them.
Therefore, they did not immediately object.
When Ling Ping'an heard this, he immediately smiled, "I'll do as Grandma says..."
As long as they didn't bow down to each other as soon as they met, there was no harm in meeting them.
After all, the close relationship between the families for two hundred years was something that no one would easily give up.
In the past, Ling Ping'an was unwilling because he did not want to take on responsibilities and obligations.
But if it was just to make friends, it was fine to meet and get familiar with each other.
Perhaps they could even play games together in the future!
The old woman immediately smiled, "Then it's decided..."
Ling Ping'an nodded.
… …
Wang Shan put down the phone in his hand, his expression a little strange.
"The old man told us to go back..."
He looked at the two brothers in front of him and said very seriously, "Moreover, we must rush back within two hours..."
"If we don't go back, the old man said that we won't go back in the future..."
When the two younger brothers in front of him heard this, their expressions immediately became interesting.
In the Federal Empire, loyalty and filial piety were the mainstream moral values that had run through thousands of years.
After thousands of years, this value had long been immersed in the depths of everyone's bone marrow and genes.
It also shaped the entire country.
The metropolitan territory, the Western Song Dynasty, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were all connected by common values and morals.
Under such circumstances, the entire society and country were naturally more inclined to identify and deepen traditional moral values.
Therefore, the people of the Federation would subconsciously tacitly agree that if a person was a gentleman, then he must be loyal to the Son of Heaven and filial to his parents.
And because of the reforms and continuous declarations of the three generations of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong.
Loyalty to the Son of Heaven was already equivalent to loyalty to the people.
Because the Son of Heaven was ordered by the heavens, his power and legitimacy came from the people who constituted the heavens.
Therefore, the concept of loyalty gradually became illusory.
However, the concept of filial piety was strengthened.
Therefore, a logical chain was formed.
If a person was unfilial, then he would definitely be disloyal, then he would definitely be a traitor!
Since ancient times, the Han and the traitors had never coexisted.
In this society, as long as anyone was unfilial, they would definitely die socially.
He would have no friends, no partners, and even no enemies.
Everyone would ignore his existence and treat him like air.
Because people were afraid of being suspected, 'You have such a good relationship with Thief X, are you also a thief?'.
Such an accusation would be devastating.
Therefore, the youngest Wang Yi could not help but ask, "Big Brother, the old man called us back in such a hurry. Is there something important?"
Wang Shan chuckled and said, "The young master of the Ling family has finally let go..."
"The old man is anxiously asking us to go back and recognize him as our master!"
When he said this, Wang Shan's tone was obviously disdainful.
The Ling family?
Ever since he was young, he had heard so much about this family that calluses had formed in his ears.
He had been educated since he was young.
You are a servant of the Ling family …
You have to serve the Ling family …
You must not disobey the lord!
Wang Shan remembered that when he was young, he was annoyed by the old man's words and took the blame for the first time. "The Ling family, the Ling family … Old man, why don't you give my life to the Ling family?"
Then, he was slapped into the back room by the old man.
He still remembered the old man's appearance at that time.
His entire body was surrounded by spiritual light, and his aura was like a hungry tiger that had just been released from its cage.
That was the first time he had seen his old man's strength.
He also firmly remembered the old man's lesson that time. "Remember, if the Ling family wants your life, you have to give it up..."
"Because..."
"We were born to be sacrifices on the Ling family's altar!"
"This is our fate!"
It was also from that time that the three Wang brothers left the demon capital.
They relied on their own two fists to build their current foundation!
It was also because of this that the three Wang brothers had always been unconvinced.
Why?
Why were they born to be sacrifices on someone else's altar?
What was sacrifice?
Pigs, cows, sheep, birds, fish!
Sacrifices for the enjoyment of their ancestors and gods!
However, this also made them have a deep interest and doubts about the Ling family.
The old man was so strong and so stubborn.
There must be a reason.
Moreover, as they wandered outside, they gained more knowledge.
They already knew that the old man's strength was at least that of a colonel of the Blackguard!
And such a strong person, even in the Blackguard, could guard an area.
One person could form an army and sweep away thousands of troops like rolling up a mat.
As long as he was willing to come out and work, even the Empire had to pay attention to him.
However, he stayed in the countryside and looked after the ancestral house for the Ling family.
Three times a day, he cleaned it on time and at a fixed time.
Just like serving his ancestors, he served the Ling family's ancestral house that had long been empty.
Just so that the descendant of the Ling family could see a clean ancestral house when he returned every New Year.
There must be a problem with this.
But...
Why was that?
They had also investigated some things and knew that the descendant of the Ling family was just a young man who ran a simple small bookstore in Jiangcheng City.
He couldn't be any more ordinary.
Even an ordinary person was stronger than him!
Wang Shan looked at his two brothers and asked, "Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"
"Should we go back and greet the young master?"
"Go..." Wang Yi said, "We must go back..."
"We won't go, the old man will kill us!"
There was no doubt about that.
No one knew their father as well as their son. They all knew that the old man of the Ling family was more important than their own lives.
If they didn't follow the ancestral rules.
The old man would immediately return to the demon capital.
"But that 'Little Young Master'..." Wang Yi laughed, "We just need to respect him on the surface..."
"To appease the old man!"
In any case, no one from the Ling family had come to look for them for so many years.
So...
There was no harm in putting on an act to make the old man happy.
"But..." Wang Xiao, who was the second brother, frowned and said, "What if the 'Little Young Master' takes it seriously?"
"If he makes all kinds of requests..."
"What should we do?"
The three brothers had worked hard to build such a huge foundation in the demon capital.
Relying on the federal empire's policy towards transcendent being, they already had all kinds of assets worth billions here!
The reputation of the Wang Asset Management Group in the business world of Guangnan was growing day by day.
And in private, they also cooperated with the Blackguard to take in a large number of foreign species and transcendent being.
It was mainly to provide normal jobs for the newly awakened foreign species and transcendent being to help them integrate into society.
Although this was purely an investment and a pure contribution.
But there were long-term returns and benefits.
Because every transcendent being was an incomparably precious network and resource.
No one knew what kind of expert a seemingly inconspicuous person would become in the future!
If they could establish friendship and relationship with these experts while they were still ignorant.
Then, all their efforts would be greatly rewarded!
Just like Lu Buwei during the Warring States period.
This was a big business that could be hoarded!
And all of this also allowed the Wang brothers to rise into the upper class of Guangnan.
The guests of their family were either representatives of the Council of Ministers, famous celebrities, or even experts of the Blackguard.
But...
They also understood the old man\'s personality.
As long as the Ling family needed it, they could even give up their lives and offer it with both hands!
Therefore, listening to Wang Xiao\'s words, the other two fell into deep thought.
"Let\'s take it one step at a time!" Wang Yi said after a long silence, "If it really doesn\'t work..."
"Let\'s move to Beizhou..."
"Didn\'t the Blackguard say last time that they wanted to strengthen the management of foreign species and transcendent being in Beizhou and called for us to send people to support them?"
"Let\'s move the headquarters to Beizhou and leave an empty shell here..."
"Just treat it as making the old man happy..."
Saying this, Wang Yi laughed, "According to my past understanding, that\ 'Young Master\' is just an ordinary person..."
"Moreover, he has always been very dutiful..."
"I don\'t think he would have any excessive requests!"
The other two brothers nodded.
"Let\'s hurry up and set off..." Wang Yi said, "Let\'s call a helicopter and fly straight to our hometown..."
… …
The three Wang brothers sat in the helicopter and looked at the roads and bridges that kept flashing by below.
Dozens of minutes later, the helicopter had already entered the territory of Jiangcheng City.
As soon as they entered the territory, the psionic power warning radar installed on their helicopter began to alarm.
A psionic power broadcast with an incomparably deep warning came from the warning radar.
"Serial number\ '11302 A\', transcendent being\'s special helicopter, you have entered the Federal Empire\'s control area..."
"Repeat, you have entered the Federal Empire\'s control area..."
The three brothers looked at each other.
Control area?
They were familiar with this.
Under the Blackguard\'s system, all the regions in the country were divided into different levels to correspond to different risks.
Among them, the control area belonged to the mechanism under the\ 'high-risk state\'.
When the Blackguard judged that there was a serious threat in a certain area, they would use this mechanism.
Not only did it send a warning to all the local transcendent being and foreign species, but it also sent a warning to all the other transcendent being and foreign species that tried to enter this area.
In the control area, all psionic power activities would be restricted.
"I heard that not long ago, the imperial capital\'s Ao family suffered a huge setback in Jiangcheng City..."
"The young master of the Ao family has been sent to court..." Wang Yi said, "It seems that the legend is true..."
"I\'m afraid something that we don\'t know about really happened in Jiangcheng City..."
Just as the other two brothers were about to speak, their psionic power felt a powerful will sweeping over.
This will was cold and heartless, like a god in the myths and legends.
Their psionic power felt a pair of bright eyes looking down at them from the clouds at the same time.
After noticing the documents they were carrying, the pair of eyes slowly closed.
And the three Wang brothers were already sweating profusely.
"Heavenly Eye Connection!" They immediately thought of this divine ability in the concept.
With my heart as the heart of the world, I will hunt on behalf of the heavens.
There was no doubt that Jiangcheng City had an incomparably powerful general of the Blackguard in charge!
This general was incomparably powerful. He had engraved his soul in the world to directly monitor and sense any psionic power user within range.
He had turned himself into a super psionic power warning radar!
