"Indeed, with my mastery of the cultivation technique reaching such heights, and given ample Qi-Blood, a night of cultivation could increase my True Qi by four strands!"

Lin Yan opened his eyes, quite satisfied.

He had previously added Evil Qi into his cultivation technique.

Now, he added the remaining Evil Qi into his Golden Body Divine Power!

His current state had reached its peak, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

As he walked out of the courtyard, he saw the Little White Ape rushing over.

"The deed is in hand," the Little White Ape whispered. "As you predicted, the City Guard Mansion gave out twelve Phoenix Blood Ancient Jades, obtained from that old Mr. Shi."

"Afraid that I would avoid the fight, this Mr. Shi, the Deputy City Governor, was indeed willing to give them up," Lin Yan chuckled, looked around, and asked, "What about Mr. Lu?"

The Little White Ape whispered, "He said he’s not well enough to travel with you, afraid the journey might be too rough... So he set off early, taking it slowly, thus easing the way."

Lin Yan nodded and looked at the table, where there was another ledger.

He reached out and flipped through it.

It turned out to be a "cultivation technique."

Not a martial cultivation technique, but rather akin to methods used by temples to suppress evil spirits.

This must be the magic method Mr. Lu had prepared for my elder brother.

"Let’s go."

"To the inner city? The horse is ready."

"Home, to bathe, eat, and change clothes."

"You’re not in a hurry at all?"

"Xu Dingye spends all day in the brothel, utterly at ease; why should I be in a hurry?"

"That’s also true."

"Let’s go, head home and rest for a while."

Lin Yan rubbed his face and removed Wu Chang’s mask, revealing his original delicate features.

He changed his clothes and returned home.

But he found that his elder brother and sister-in-law, along with their two children, seemed ready to go out.

"Ah Yan, don’t you have duty today?"

"I was on shift last night," Lin Yan hesitated and then whispered, "What’s going on with our family?"

"Don’t you know?" his sister-in-law said excitedly. "Today is the day the most powerful Little Divine Sect in Qifeng Prefecture battles with the strongest Inspection Envoy from High Willow City! Recently, the whole city has been buzzing with excitement because of this event..."

"A big event..." Lin Yan rubbed his forehead and said, "So you’re going out to watch?"

"It was supposed to start at Linjiang Square, but the City Guard decided there were too many people, so they moved it to the inner city."

His elder brother whispered, "Although we can’t enter the inner city, the temple has made arrangements, and from the next district over, we can see the battle in the inner city!"

"With such a crowd, even if it’s visible from the outer city, it won’t be easy."

His sister-in-law was even more excited, saying, "Only my brother, being a neighborhood head, managed to secure a few spots by paying! He originally wanted to go himself, but the Outer South Government Office commanded all officials not to abandon their posts... So the spots went to our family."

Lin Yan exhaled and said, "It’s just a fight, why does my sister-in-law seem even more excited than my brother?"

"You don’t know, our family’s stall made over twenty silver in just a few days, a real fortune."

His sister-in-law, holding Lin Xiaoyue, clicked her tongue and said, "These two are really lucky charms."

His elder brother, Lin Lei, holding a little boy, sighed, "She’s put all the money on the betting house."

"What?"

Lin Yan was taken aback.

"Look at that, you’re out of the loop?" His sister-in-law said mysteriously, "My brother told me, the Little Divine Sect is the number one of our time, betting on him to win—you can’t go wrong!"

Lin Lei thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, the Little Divine Sect is the most outstanding in Qifeng Prefecture, and High Willow City is just one of its cities! Plus, although the Inspection Envoy is becoming well-known in High Willow City, the Little Divine Sect has been famous for longer!"

He glanced at Lin Yan, then whispered, "I also bet on him to win!"

So the entire family bet on his opponent to win?

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, then said, "Considering I work at the Linjiang Station, shouldn’t I bet on the Inspection Envoy to win?"

"No, no!" his sister-in-law quickly shook her head. "Betting on the Inspection Envoy to win is just giving money to the betting house!"

"I did bet, though." Lin Lei, understanding the nuances of human relationships, reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it over: "I bet one silver on the Inspection Envoy to win!"

"What’s this?" Lin Yan was puzzled.

"Give it to the Inspection Envoy later; it could show some loyalty," his brother instructed.

"Alright," Lin Yan quietly tucked it away and responded.

"Then we’re off," his sister-in-law waved and said, "We rented a donkey cart yesterday, hoping to get there before noon."

"Let’s go together," Lin Yan said. "There’s a carriage outside."

"A carriage, that’s nice." On hearing this, his sister-in-law suddenly showed a happy expression, then said, "Then we’ll borrow your carriage."

"Aren’t you taking me?" Lin Yan opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.

"There are only two seats." His sister-in-law pointed to herself and her husband, then continued, "These two kids, held in arms, won’t take up space, and we’re worried you won’t be able to get in."

"Little Xiaoyue, watch the house, no excitement for you!" Lin Xiaoyue made a face, her speech having cleared up somewhat in a few days.

"..."

Lin Yan’s expression grew more complex.

No excitement to watch?

But he was the excitement!

He watched as his elder brother and sister-in-law, full of enthusiasm, boarded the carriage and headed towards the inner city.

Half a moment later, he muttered, "Be careful on the road, especially with the child. Someone might kidnap him."

"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at you, talking like a crow!"

The second sister-in-law lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "You should wish for the Little Divine Sect to achieve great success, so our family can make a fortune. Only then will we have the money for you to take a wife."

"Marry eighteen!"

Little White Ape couldn’t help but poke his head out and said loudly.

"Shameless, truly shameless!" Lin Xiaoyue giggled as she pointed at Lin Yan, "Little pig has no shame!"

"..."

Lin Yan watched the carriage drive away, silent for a long moment, then said, "With so many people, chaos is inevitable. Notify the Outer South Bureau, tell Han Commander to dispatch two deputies to protect them."

Having said this, he glanced back into the room and couldn’t help but sigh, "Let’s go."

Little White Ape was stunned for a moment, then said, "Didn’t we just come home? You said you wanted to bathe, eat a meal, change your clothes, and rest?"

"There’s no meal left for me at home."

Lin Yan stepped outside, closed the door behind him, and sighed, "I suppose when Little Divine Sect arrives, the family will prepare a meal with three dishes and a soup for him."

With that, he walked outside.

"Are we going to the inner city now?"

"To Linjiang Station."

"If everything is arranged properly, why go back to Linjiang Station?"

"You fool, did you really think Wu Chang just left Lin Family and headed straight to the inner city?" Lin Yan said calmly, "It had to be Lin Xiaoqi, who returned to Linjiang Station and then followed Inspection Envoy Wu Chang to the inner city!"

"Understood." Little White Ape nodded hastily.

"My money, have you secured it all?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.

"It’s buried under the bed at our residence in Linjiang Station," Little White Ape replied.

"Dig it all out and bring the deeds too," Lin Yan said calmly, "Hand them over to Chief Clerk Yang."

"Why give them to him? This isn’t public money, it’s our own money!" Little White Ape quickly shook his head.

"Send him to the gambling house!" Lin Yan stated calmly.

"This..." Little White Ape spoke softly, "The Observatory is responsible for monitoring the entire city, it’s not appropriate for us to gamble, right?"

"Not appropriate?"

Lin Yan’s expression remained calm as he said, "I finally understand why the Commander borrowed money from Lv Tang yesterday..."

——

Inner city.

Most of the high-ranking figures have already arrived.

The three seats at the far east!

One belonged to the lord of Residual Prison Mansion.

One to the Deputy City Governor of Qifeng Prefecture.

The other was the Great City Guard of High Willow City, the highest authority of High Willow City!

Opposite them were the Commander of the Observatory, two Deputy Commanders, and three garrison commanders.

Three of the six major family patriarchs had arrived; the other three were still in seclusion.

However, all the family heads had arrived.

Two temple priests and several incense burners from the temple were present, including Miss Ling He.

The temple guard army, inner city various city guards, and the Observatory were all ordered to maintain order.

And further out were individuals from various cities.

Some were leaders of those cities, others were members of powerful families, and some were heads of large businesses.

The crowd was massive and bustling.

The center was an open area, a thousand steps long and eight hundred steps wide.

All eyes were focused here.

"Has the person not arrived yet?"

The lord of Residual Prison Mansion stroked his beard and asked, turning his head, "These two are the main characters."

The Great City Guard of High Willow City, with a smile, said, "These two, no doubt impetuous youths."

Deputy City Governor Shi remained expressionless, his demeanor cold as he glanced around.

Not far away stood a man with an aloof demeanor.

The Commander of the Observatory, General Flag Envoy of the Outer South Government Office, Han Zheng!

In a sense, Han Zheng was the true origin of this battle!

And Wu Chang was his prized disciple!

This fact was already widespread.

"Mr. Lu has arrived."

Just at that moment, the second temple priest of the temple hurriedly got up to greet him.

The representatives of various powers also stood up.

But Mr. Lu gestured with his hand to lower it, speaking softly, "We’re all here for the spectacle, no need for formalities."

He looked toward the temple side, at the spot left for him, and shook his head slightly, saying, "Find a broader space, set up a few more chairs, I still have people coming on my side."

The second temple priest was taken aback, "Someone else is coming on Mr. Lu’s side?"

Mr. Lu said with a smile, "My prized disciple should also get a chance to broaden his horizons."

"Mr. Lu has taken a disciple in my High Willow City?"

The second temple priest was startled.

The Great City Guard of High Willow City couldn’t help but stand up, leaning forward as if to hear more clearly.

It could be faintly seen that other high-ranking figures from various powers also showed surprise, all looking over this way.

"Lv Tang just dropped me off and has already gone to fetch him,"

Mr. Lu said quietly, "His name is Lin Lei, bringing his family along, planning to watch the battle from the outer city, taking advantage of the ’Ice Mirage Scene’..."

"How could that be good?"

The voice of the Great City Guard came, saying, "Although the ’Ice Mirage Scene’ can reveal the scenes within, how could it compare to witnessing with one’s own eyes? Quickly prepare a spot..."

He turned his head to look at the chief officer beside him.

The chief officer nodded quickly and walked out.

"Quickly check, Linjiang Square, Lin Lei!"
