Ten years after the failed awakening, I became a god

As one of the four top dukes in the empire, the Ji family naturally had a constant stream of guests at the birthday party of the Ji family's direct descendant.

The Ji family's residence is located in the Hot Spring Mountain north of Bingling City. The residences of the four great dukes are all in this area because this area is the closest to the Imperial Palace and is the aristocratic area of ​​Bingling City.

As the aristocratic district of Bingling City, Wenquan Mountain is surrounded by floating light beads in the air, and there is also an aura barrier jointly established by the four ducal families to prevent the passage of unidentified vehicles.

Therefore, Wenquan Mountain usually has very few vehicles traveling in and out. Except for those registered with the Four Dukes, all other vehicles entering and leaving the aerial tram must undergo strict inspection. In addition to the need for vehicle information to be equal, they must also be escorted by someone from Wenquan Mountain to successfully enter.

Today's birthday party for the young master of the Ji family was not attended by all the people from the four dukes' families. In order to prevent outsiders from sneaking into the hot spring mountain, the Ji family invited only a few people to the party. Everyone needed to use the invitation on the smart bracelet to verify their identity.

Hot Spring Mountain, Ji Family.

"I'm saying, could you please stop staring at Ji Chunlu? Bringing you out here is really embarrassing for our Wen family."

A gentle and elegant voice came from her ears. Lan Yin turned her head back silently without any explanation, lowered her head and said nothing.

She found that as long as she defended herself, it would only make Wen Qingya even more angry. She kept nagging in her ear, but Wen Qingya didn't care if she just agreed with what Wen Qingya said or just remained silent.

In order to keep her ears quiet, she had to play dumb.

So Lan Yin would not tell Wen Qingya that she was actually looking at Lan Beibei, not Ji Chunlu. After all, Lan Beibei and Wen Qingya were still engaged, and it would be even more shocking if she told it out loud...

So Lan Yin had to keep thinking about the scene when she just looked at Lan Beibei. She always felt that Lan Beibei was very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere. But she had been living in Qingyu Palace for ten years and had never seen anyone other than Cui Yu. How could she have seen Lan Beibei?

So why did she feel like she had met Lan Beibei somewhere before?

······

"What are you daydreaming about? I'm telling you, aren't you? Is Ji Chunlu such a big influence on you? Do you lose your mind when he's around you?"

Lan Yin felt her hand being patted. When she looked up, she saw Wen Qingya's puzzled eyes. She had no way to defend herself, so she simply used silence instead...

Wen Qingya didn't continue to argue with her, but said: "Come with me to the bathroom..."

Lan Yin stood up silently and followed Wen Qingya. She suddenly thought of her previous life when she was in high school and went to the bathroom hand in hand with her friends, but now she has become someone else's follower when going to the bathroom.

This was definitely not Wen Qingya's first time at the Ji family's. She walked through the winding corridors and accurately found a guest room. She said to Lan Yin at the door, "Wait for me here. If anyone comes in, tell them I'm inside. No one else is allowed to come in, understand?"

Lan Yin nodded. After all, this young lady was rather picky, so she could understand Wen Qingya's desire not to be disturbed when she went to the bathroom.

Maybe she's afraid of ruining her image in front of her fiancé...

Five minutes passed and there was no movement inside...

Lan Yin walked back and forth at the door in boredom. She didn't know how Wen Qingya found this room. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the birthday party outside, it was so quiet here that it didn't seem like anyone lived there.

Even after such a long time, Lan Yin didn't even see a servant from the Ji family passing by.

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Lan Yin was just lamenting the lack of people she'd met when she saw a man in servant's attire pushing a cleaning cart approach the door of the guest room where she was standing. He politely said, "Miss, could you please make way? I need to clean the room."

Lan Yin didn't move, but shook her head and said, "There's someone inside."

The servant wore a hat and a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that looked bright and shiny. Her voice was clear and moving: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Lan Yin watched the servant's back as he left with the cleaning cart, and silently thought to herself that the four dukes' families were indeed well-established, as even the servants looked so good from behind.

In this world, ordinary families with a little wealth use robots for cleaning and daily housework. They also use robots for fully automatic and very convenient.

It is impossible for the four dukes to say that they cannot afford robots, but none of them uses robots to replace servants. It is not because robots are not easy to use or because servants' services are cheap, but because of face.

On the contrary, with the advent of robots, the cost of servants' services has skyrocketed, and those living in Bingling City think of themselves as people of status, so they are unwilling to do this job.

The four great dukes were afraid that people from the Federation and the Divine Religion would sneak into Hot Spring Mountain as servants, so they had always selected six-year-old children from the side branches who had not yet awakened their spirits and sent them here for training to become servants of the main family.

In exchange, the main family will give the collateral family who donated the child a sum of money or cultivation resources.

After all, the side branches of the four dukes' families have produced too many branches because of the continuation of thousands of years. Because the branches are not as pure as the direct lines, the awakened spirits of each generation are weaker than the previous one. They need the protection of the main family for cultivation resources and social status to survive.

In a case like Wen Jiaojiao, who awakened a relatively special spiritual body but because the side branch could not provide cultivation resources and teaching conditions, she begged to be sent to the main family to be raised, which is also very rare.

Because the main family has never lacked talents, and the main family does not need talents who are better than their direct descendants.

"What are you thinking about? The party is about to start, let's go."

Lan Yin looked up and saw Wen Qingya's smiling face, who seemed to be in a good mood.

Wen Qingya's makeup looked like it had been reapplied, and the color of her lipstick was not the same as the one she used when they left together.

Lan Yin originally thought that Wen Qingya and Lan Beibei were just a family marriage, but now it seems that Wen Qingya really likes Lan Beibei...

Lan Yin nodded silently, maintaining her image as an honest person, and followed Wen Qingya back to the front hall.

"Qingya, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere."

As soon as she returned to the front hall, Lan Beibei came up to Wen Qingya and greeted her.

"I went to the bathroom, and you missed me after only five minutes?" Wen Qingya smiled charmingly.

"You are my fiancée, so naturally, there is only you in my eyes and no one else."

Wen Qingya covered her mouth and smiled, then turned back to the invisible person Lan Yin and said:

"Jiaojiao, are you hungry? Go find something to eat nearby. I want to talk to the Master."

Lan Yin nodded in understanding. She understood that the young couple wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.

The Ji family was also very generous. All kinds of food and snacks were placed on the banquet table for people to enjoy at will.

After all, this is an era of universal nutrient solution, and these snacks are luxuries of this era.

Lan Yin took a tiramisu cake, walked to the side and ate it slowly. Speaking of which, although she had been a princess for ten years, her life in Qingyu Palace was not as good as those young masters and young ladies from the outside families.

At least as a princess she couldn't eat such delicious little cakes.

"Wen Jiaojiao."

Lan Yin, who was eating a small cake with happiness that she was about to close her eyes, heard a male voice in her ears.
