Surprise! After cultivating immortality, the divine beast came to the door with space

It had snowed for two days in a row, but on this day the sun came out, and it was a beautiful day with bright sunshine.

The entire Protectorate General’s Mansion was filled with joy.

In front of the gate of the general's mansion, a middle-aged woman with broad shoulders and a thick waist was waiting at the door early. Today was the sixteenth birthday party of Lin Fuqiu, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion.

Most of the guests were young ladies from the boudoir and some wives of officials who were familiar with the general's mansion. The general's wife Qin Fanghua sent her trusted nanny Li Zhengjia to personally welcome the guests.

The Protector General has made great military achievements and his mansion is at its peak. It is said that even the Princess Chang's daughter, Princess Minghua, will be here.

At this time, in the backyard of the general's mansion, several maids came into Lanfangyuan carrying hot water.

Hong Xiao, the personal maid, walked slowly into the bedroom. The eldest lady Lin Fuqiu had just gotten up.

"Miss, the hot water is here. I'll help you wash up." "Has the snow stopped?" Lin Fuqiu asked as she walked to the dressing table and sat down.

Hong Xiao's men were busy as they hurriedly replied, "Stop, not only is the sun out, but even the red plum blossoms in front of the corridor are blooming."

Lin Fuqiu raised her bare hands and tucked a strand of her hair in front of her forehead. When she heard Hong Xiao's words, the corners of her lips lifted up and a smile appeared on her face. "Minghua likes Hongmei the most. What a coincidence that she's here today."

After a period of careful dressing up, a beautiful face like a lotus appeared in the bronze mirror.

"Let's go. It's time to go to the main courtyard to have dinner with mother." Another personal maid, Lu Wu, quickly put the cloak on the young lady.

When Lin Fuqiu arrived at the main courtyard, the general's wife Qin Fanghua had just finished washing up. When she saw her daughter, a loving smile appeared on her face.

"My son, come quickly." He took Lin Fuqiu's hand and told the maid, "Go see where the two young masters are."

Soon, two young men, one tall and one short, entered the courtyard. The head maid quickly ordered the meal to be served.

Inside the house, the second young master of the General's Mansion, Lin Qingze, looked at Lin Fuqiu and said coquettishly, "Big sister looks really beautiful today."

Even the usually steady eldest master Lin Qingyun glanced at this cute sister many times.

The two's actions made Lin Fuqiu laugh sweetly.

After a quiet breakfast, General Qin Fanghua, the general's wife, instructed her two sons, "Today, we're hosting a banquet. Most of the guests will be our close relatives and Fu'er's close friends, but your cousins ​​and the young masters of your acquaintances will also be there. Your father won't be back until he finishes his court session, so I'll leave the male guests to you, my sons."

The two brothers nodded in agreement.

After the two brothers left, Qin Fanghua became closer to her daughter again.

In the North Courtyard of the General's Mansion, Lin Xia was rummaging through drawers in the small room. In front of her, the little girl who had delivered food before came again, still coming and leaving in a hurry.

Lin Xia observed that the little girl was wearing a green cotton jacket. If she found a similar one to change into, she could sneak past the front mansion and look for a way out.

What's more, since the original owner came to this courtyard, very few people have seen the original owner's appearance.

Even the original owner's nominal father probably wouldn't recognize his own daughter.

Soon, a "little maid" in a light-colored jacket swaggered out of Beiyuan.

It was already afternoon, and the vermilion gate of the General Protector's Mansion was crowded with people watching the fun.

One after another, gorgeous carriages drove in an orderly manner towards the general's mansion.

The onlookers were crowded together, and almost everyone's eyes were on the magnificent carriage leading the way.

A servant put down the footstool, and saw a bright young girl in a crimson-purple brocade skirt and a moon-white cloak on her shoulders getting off the carriage with the help of a maid.

This is the eldest princess’ daughter—Princess Minghua, Chu Minghua.

Li Zhengjia, the maid who had been guarding the gate of the general's mansion, saw the princess' carriage approaching. She ordered a gatekeeper to inform the masters and quickly stepped forward to kneel and salute, "Greetings, princess!" After being called to her feet, she said attentively, "The roads are slippery in the snow, princess, please be careful with your steps."

However, before Princess Minghua entered the general's mansion, she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

A guard passed several carriages and came straight behind Princess Minghua. After greeting the princess, he whispered a few words to Princess Minghua's personal maid.

After hearing the guard's words, the maid was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and walked quickly to Princess Minghua's side: "Princess, there is an urgent matter in the mansion. The princess urgently summons you back."

After hearing the maid's words, Princess Minghua's face was filled with confusion. Her mother had gone to the palace to visit her grandmother today, so why would she suddenly call her home for something? Could something have happened to her grandmother?

Seeing the look on the princess's face, the maidservant was afraid that Princess Minghua would be anxious, so she leaned over to her ear and whispered, "I heard that an immortal has come to the palace and wants to select people with spiritual roots to become his disciples. Anyone under twenty years old and over five years old, regardless of gender, can have their spiritual roots tested."

Princess Minghua's expression suddenly changed. Unlike her usual calm and proper demeanor, she actually walked directly towards the carriage, obviously not intending to enter the general's mansion.

Li Zhengjia was anxious and walked towards Princess Minghua. Just as she was about to speak, the guard who had just protected Princess Minghua behind him said loudly, "You old woman, don't be so presumptuous!"

After stumbling a few steps, Li Zhengjia could only watch as Princess Minghua got on the carriage, which quickly drove back in the direction they came from.

As Princess Minghua's carriage left, maids and servants went up to the carriages of other mansions and reported what had just happened to their masters.

For a moment, all the carriages from the various mansions stopped, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.

But soon, guards from various mansions came running towards their carriages one after another. Then, several carriages turned around and drove in the opposite direction of the General Protector's Mansion.

Li Zhengjia stood there, not knowing what was going on.

At this moment, the only people on the street were the general's wife's family and the two carriages of the imperial merchant Qin family, parked alone at the back.

Not long after, a young man of about fifteen or sixteen jumped out of the carriage at the back, spoke to the people in the carriage in front, and walked straight towards the gate of the mansion.

"Mammy, what happened? Why have all the carriages left?" The young man was none other than Qin Daoyue, the nephew of the general's wife. Seeing the carriages from various mansions leaving one after another, he was confused. He reported to his mother and came forward to ask.

Li Zhengjia also came to his senses at this time, "This old servant doesn't know either! Oh my, this is terrible, I must report it to the mistress and the young lady immediately."

He turned around and ran directly to the inner courtyard. His fat body showed a flexibility that was inconsistent with his size, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qin Daoyue was left standing helplessly in front of the door.

The clever gatekeeper quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master, it's too cold out there. Please invite your aunt and cousin in first."

Although they were confused, the Qin family still entered the mansion.

Before reaching the second gate, I saw the general's wife Qin Fanghua walking out surrounded by maids and old women, with a hint of anxiety between her brows.

Aunt Qin took two quick steps to meet her sister-in-law. "Sister, what happened? Why have all the carriages from the various mansions gone back?"

Before Qin Fanghua could say anything, a steady male voice came from behind her: "Don't worry, Madam. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing, a very good thing." The voice could not hide his excitement.

It was the national defense general Lin Beiye who was returning home from court.

Hearing this, General's wife Qin Fanghua's heart finally settled down. She relaxed and returned to her usual graceful and elegant demeanor.

But her eyes were still fixed on her master with doubt and confusion.

Lin Beiye didn't keep the secret, "Today, when I was in court, an immortal suddenly descended from the sky and said that he wanted to select those with spiritual roots in my Dayan Dynasty to be his disciples."

Before he could finish his words, an uncontrollable scream came from behind him, "Immortal, it's actually an immortal." It turned out to be Qin Daoyue who heard these words.

Lin Beiye was not displeased by this, he simply nodded and continued, "The Immortal will stay in the palace today. Your Majesty has issued an edict according to the Immortal's instructions. Anyone under twenty years old and over five years old can have their spiritual roots tested."

"The news has spread. There are many people of marriageable age in the capital. All the prefectures should have received the news."

So that's how it is. It's really a great thing.

Qin Fanghua was excited, as all three of her children met the requirements. It was just a pity that Fu'er had to suffer, as the birthday party was destined to not be held.

Lin Xia, hiding behind the crowd and watching the excitement, had a look of bewilderment on her face. Immortal?! Was this the immortal she'd imagined? Could it be possible to cultivate immortality in this world?! This was too fantastical!
