One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

The group successfully passed through the Spring and Autumn Seasons Formation and were finally able to enter Zhuge Village.

However, the Zhuge family only provided the key; they had to find the exact location of the room themselves.

Feng Baobao suggested that it wasn't necessary to go through all that trouble and that she could just find any place to stay.

Xia He raised a new question: the Zhuge family's guest rooms would definitely not be opened easily.

Others, such as Liu Yanyan and Bao Chan, share the same view.

Only Ma Long and Wang Ye, who had always been accustomed to sleeping in their pajamas, had unwavering faith in Feng Baobao's abilities.

Ma Long recalled various past events, his face showing undisguised embarrassment, as did Wang Ye. The two exchanged a smile.

Ma Long explained, "Trust the baby, she can do it."

"Get it!"

After making their decision, the eight people walked forward along the road.

……

Inside Zhuge Village, in the council hall.

A handsome young man with squinty eyes and short blue hair was explaining something to four old men.

Zhuge Qiu squatted on the chair, waving his arms and shouting, "Ah Qing, you little fox!"

You tricked me so badly before that I was spitting blood, and now you're sending your four grandfathers to scout for you!

Don't you have any kindness left?!

Zhuge Xia then spoke up: "Aqing, you're really cunning. You're just playing around with the elders of the clan like this?"

Fortunately, Young Master Long is magnanimous; otherwise, I would have lost half my life.

Zhuge Qing felt even more aggrieved. Although he wanted to send the four elders to test the waters, it was a helpless move.

Even if I don't order them to do it, they'll still be restless.

After all, the old man would definitely help his family's genius get revenge for such a bizarre defeat.

But Zhuge Qing still smiled apologetically: "Uh~ Master Qiu, this isn't entirely my fault!"

I tried to stop you, but you insisted on going. What could I do?

Zhuge Qiu shook his head and his face, refusing to back down, and said, "Hmph!"

It was clearly you who used reverse psychology to deliberately scheme against your four grandfathers!

Seeing that the commotion had gone on for a while, Zhuge Chun slowly said, "Alright, stop teasing Aqing."

Testing Malone was essential, but that guy was indeed formidable.

We have to admit, it's really embarrassing for us; everyone else gets stronger with age.

Damn it, why are we men getting more and more useless as we get older?

Look at Zhang Huaiyi, and then look at the Old Celestial Master—aren't they both older than us?

Seeing Zhuge Chun begin to complain, Zhuge Dong stepped in to smooth things over: "Brother, this is inevitable."

When we were young, we learned all sorts of fancy techniques, but we didn't pay attention to cultivating the foundation of our life force.

Without a solid foundation, things will inevitably get weaker and weaker; there's no point in saying more now.

Ah Qing, you younger generation must lay a solid foundation for your lives!

Zhuge Qing nodded repeatedly: "Grandpa Dong, don't worry, I'll listen to you!"

So what have you gained from this?

"Hehe, little fox, there are plenty of surveillance cameras in our village, and you saw what happened during the battle."

Is there anything else to ask?

Zhuge Qing took two quick steps and reached out to massage Zhuge Dong's shoulders: "Hehe, how can they be the same?"

Grandpa Dong, you've seen a lot and experienced it firsthand, you must have a unique perspective!

"Hmph, you little bootlicker, let me tell you!"

You didn't lose unfairly before, and we don't blame each other for losing today either!

Here's a conclusion: assuming the skill level difference isn't significant, in a Qimen Dunjia divination, any technique will be countered by Ma Long.

He is the master of the Qimen Dunjia formation; within it, he is invincible!

In the past, anyone who said such a thing would have been kicked out of the council hall of Zhuge Village.

But today, the hall was unusually quiet, with men, women, and children all listening attentively, because it was the truth!

Zhuge Qing nodded solemnly as well: "Fourth Grandfather is right, although I am very reluctant to admit it."

But I've been thinking about this ever since I came back last time.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the hall, Zhuge Qiu shouted, "Hey, Aqing!"

Ah Qing, you can't be biased.

Why don't you give your third grandfather a shoulder massage?

Today was a tough day for me too!

This old body almost fell apart!

Zhuge Qing immediately jogged over to Zhuge Qiu's chair and reached out to massage him, saying, "Here I am, here I am."

"Yes, the force is just right!"

Ah Qing, it's not that I'm trying to spoil your fun, but if you want to beat Ma Long with our Wuhou Qimen technique...

That's probably not realistic!

Alas, it's shameful to admit, but our ancestor dared to be the first in the world back then.

He simplified the Qimen Dunjia formation, and all subsequent practitioners of divination held him in high esteem.

But now my descendants are not diligent, and the tradition is broken and forgotten, truly disgracing the name of our ancestors.

Zhuge Qing licked his lips, his eyes still narrowed to just a slit: "Fortunately, the ancestor's Samadhi True Fire is still here."

"I was lucky; I managed to get it under control. I wonder if Malone can handle it?"

Zhuge Qiu was equally confident: "Yes, A Qing is really promising."

You are the first person in nearly a hundred years to master the Samadhi Fire, and you have only just begun. You must practice diligently from now on, but even so...

"That Malone might not be so easy to deal with either!"

Originally, Zhuge Qing was the most talented boy in the clan, with exceptional intelligence and emotional intelligence, and he was also good-looking. Therefore, the elders in the clan had high hopes for him.

Zhuge Qing has been the darling of the family since childhood. His peers can't even see his taillights. Zhuge Lv, Zhuge Hua, Zhuge Bai, they all have to be ranked behind him.

Now that Zhuge Qing has mastered the Zhuge family's ultimate secret technique, he is even more cherished by his elders.

At this moment, even Zhuge Qing's father, Zhuge Gong, the current patriarch of the Wuhou faction, had to step aside!

Zhuge Qing has absolute authority to speak on matters big and small.

At this moment, the clan chief, who was sitting in a corner and whose position was practically nonexistent, spoke up: "Ah Qing, are you really not going to send someone to guide Ma Long and the others?"

Making them find it themselves is poor hospitality!

Zhuge Qing was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

He immediately turned his head and looked at a very familiar face.

Oh, it's my father!

He felt somewhat embarrassed, realizing that he had neglected his father these past few days, which was really wrong of him.

"Uh~ Father, it's alright!"

Both Malone and Wang Ye are sorcerers; how could they not find a room? Let them find one wherever they want!

Hearing his proud son still calling him "father," Zhuge Gong felt a mix of emotions.

He sincerely hoped his son would do well and achieve even greater success, but he was also somewhat jealous of his son, even though he knew this feeling was wrong.

Hoping one's son will succeed is a lesson every father must learn; one cannot hinder one's son's progress.

Zhuge Gong turned his head to look at the surveillance camera in the hall, searching for traces of Ma Long and the others.

"This group of people is half men and half women, and they should be heading towards the Kun Palace now."

They probably need to take the woman back to her room first.
