Tomb Raiders: After the Nine Gates Ancestor, they let loose and did whatever they wanted!

Hearing Xie Jiuye's slightly slurred voice, everyone burst into laughter, and Qi Tiezui even teased him.

"Ninth Master, this is such strong liquor, you can't get used to it, can you? It's much stronger than your foreign liquor with its tadpole-like writing!"

The handsome face of Master Jie was stained with the flushed red of drunkenness, which was enough to show how strong Wei Wuxian's alcohol was.

He pushed his eyes up, which had slid down to the bridge of his nose, as if searching for someone. Finally, his gaze landed on Huo San Niang, and the first thing he said was a confession.

"Third Sister, you're right. If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. I'm so sorry, Shutang!"

"Why didn't you think of this sooner? Men are all the same, they're all about sex, not feelings!"

Huo Sanniang didn't hold back either, elegantly rolling her eyes and retorting, subtly insulting all the men present.

Wei Wuxian, seeing that there was more excitement to watch, smiled.

I envy that my son isn't married yet, and he's still a virtuous and well-behaved boy who loves cultivation!

"Little one, quick, quick! Take a picture! ↗ Ninth Brother is so funny, I remember he could really drink, how come he was done after just one cup this time!"

...Hahahaha (?w?) Hahahaha...

Ling Wu searched through his vocabulary and found a sentence, shaking his head and sighing:

[Perhaps he's trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol—but that only makes things worse?]

As for the Shutang that Master Jie mentioned, she was his wife, Ji Shutang, a young lady from a scholarly family. Their marriage was considered a good match.

But the girl was ambitious. She was initially attracted to Ninth Master's appearance, and, blinded by love, married him. They enjoyed a blissful honeymoon period.

It turned out he was a womanizer; over time, his heart grew cold, and his romantic obsession gave way to a focus on his career.

He was only focused on making money, studying abroad, serving his country, and learning new ideas.

????w??????

Master Xie felt it was good to have a wife who respected him, was his equal, and didn't interfere with his life. He wholeheartedly supported his wife in enriching herself!

how to say?

If you say Master Xie is good, then he really is quite a scumbag. If you say he's bad, then he has a mind that's neither new nor old. The Xie family is really conflicted!

?（ ￣??）?

Wei Wuxian said, "You must start educating your children from a young age: My dear disciple, you must never follow his example. Your grandfather is such a womanizer, he has countless romantic entanglements."

You can't be like your overly filial father, who washes his hands of the business, neither giving birth nor raising his children, showing no sense of responsibility, understand?

Little Baby Flower: Okay, Master~ This time, I'll plant white-fleshed radishes. I grew out of the ground~

I'm responsible and have no outstanding debts or financial obligations~ I'm sure I can raise it well~!

(?′?‵?)?o○?

Envy, who tried everything to persuade and teach but found it had no effect: (??? (??? (??? ;) Ah?!)

Is that what I mean?

Why did the little dumpling's answer differ from what I expected?!

My young apprentice's thought process is so hard to understand!

Humans are born from their mother's womb! ↗

It really wasn't grown in the ground! ↗

It's really not! ↗

Σσ? ?°???)° ??

Wei Wuxian enjoyed lying to the kids for a while, and he enjoyed lying to the kids all the time, but in the end, he suffered the consequences of his actions!

o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓ I slapped the table and laughed wildly!

……

[Lingwu's Future Notes]

Ji Shutang is a smart, quick-witted, and decisive woman. During the Nine Gates era, she was basically in charge of the Xie family's legitimate affairs.

Ji Shutang: Even if the truth comes out one day, and the Xie family simply changes their surname to Ji, it won't mean their lineage will end! ↗

(?????????)?

He completely distanced himself from the affairs of the Nine Gates, just like the future Wu family patriarch Wu Yiqiong, closing his eyes and ears, claiming he knew nothing.

A century later, she will be respectfully referred to as Madam Ji in a corner of history books, a legendary woman!

All Master Jie got was one sentence: the man behind Madam Ji during her early childhood.

None of them have been described as having as much detail as Er Yuehong, the devoted and beautiful man!

ξ(┃ヮ┃*ξ＠

After Wei Wuxian left behind his divination, Master Xie was the first to heed it, and the Xie family began to focus more on developing in this area. However, the rest of the Xie family members were not suited to it.

Therefore, a trustworthy outsider is needed to handle all of this.

For the sake of future plans, it was necessary for Master Jie to whisper sweet nothings to Madam when necessary.

(￣y▽￣)~* Cover your mouth and snicker

Ji Shutang: Back then, I acted impulsively and married him because he was good-looking and a decent businessman. I never expected him to be such a heartless vixen!

If you can't rely on men, you have to rely on yourself! ↗

Master Xie: Madam, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I kneel down and beg for forgiveness!

?·°(???﹏???)°·?

After all that commotion, tonight has been an exceptionally long night, and we're now in the darkest hour before dawn; daybreak is just around the corner.

"Sir, which color would you like?" Feng Che asked softly.

"Let's go with white, and then just use some lighting to make it dark." Wei Wuxian said gently, looking at everyone who was relaxed, joking, and laughing.

As Wei Wuxian finished speaking, Feng Che pulled the fuse, and a white signal flare shot into the sky.

"Whoosh~ Snap!"

It shone brightly in the night sky, its pattern a pure white, blooming mandala flower.

The petals of the datura flower are layered upon layered, so realistic that they could easily be mistaken for real ones. Each petal shimmers with an eerie light against the night sky, as if telling a story of some mysterious power.

Unlike ordinary signal flares and fireworks, this signal flare, thanks to Feng Che's rapid modifications, is not fleeting or a brief flash in the pan.

Instead, it lingered in the night sky for several minutes before slowly disappearing after the next signal flare was lit.

Feng Che believed in the tacit understanding within the family and that they would surely understand the underlying intentions.

The whole process took no more than half an hour.

For the first time, all branches of the Ghost Spirit Sect within China successfully conducted clandestine communications!
