The shocked Xue Yi suffered from insomnia, so much so that he started to feel groggy the next morning when he got off the empty rail car.

"Ding ding, what's wrong?" Coco asked distressedly, "Didn't sleep well? Did you have a nightmare?"

"He hasn't awakened yet, and he is more sensitive to jet lag." Ares said, holding the cub more comfortably, and gently combing its fluffy back hair with his fingers, "Go to sleep, there is still some time on the road."

Xue Yi yawned, nestled in the major general's arms, and decided to go to his pet cat of the Holy Spirit clan, it would be better for him to be his grandson cat.Thinking this way, I really fell asleep.

The empty rail car was driving smoothly on the high-altitude track, but after four or ten minutes' drive, it arrived outside a suburban villa not far from Kerr Xingyi University.This villa is half-hidden in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, and there is a faint sound of water flowing in the air, which is quite peaceful and far-reaching.The gate of the villa courtyard was built in a round shape and opened in opposite directions. A simple fan-shaped plaque was inlaid above the gate, and a string of letters were written on it in imitation of the strokes of seal script - "Jian Family Courtyard".

Xue Yi who just woke up: ...

The concierge of the villa confirmed the identity of the visitor and checked the itinerary of the host's house before bowing and leading the group into the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, there was a screen wall in front of everyone's eyes. The screen wall was square and one story high. There was a round hole in the center, and a clump of green iron bamboo behind it was revealed through the hole.In front of the screen wall, there is an octagonal white stone fountain carved with a koi spraying water.

Xue Yi really wanted to cover his face, he couldn't see this kind of mix-and-match style of Chinese and Western.Look at the old house of the Li family!Although it is dilapidated, at least those buildings look like that, even the owl kisses on the roof are quite elegant.Your Jian family calls themselves scholars, why don't you learn a little bit!

But everyone couldn't hear the cub's slander, and Xue Yi didn't dare to let others know what was in his mind.Under the guidance of the concierge, a group of people were taken to the front of the main hall. On the steps at the entrance of the main hall stood a 60-year-old red-haired old man.Beside him, there stood a young man with lowered eyebrows. He also had long orange-red hair, which was casually coiled with an ebony hairpin.

With a smile on his face, the old man walked down the steps in two steps, held Ares's hand, and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince, your presence has made the humble house full of glory!"

"Professor Jane is polite." Ares nodded.

The concierge retreated, and Professor Jian personally led the group into the main hall.Turning a screen, everyone sat down on the sofa in a circle, and a maid served tea.

Professor Jian first introduced himself. His name is Jian Zhiyao. He is a branch of the Jian family that was separated from the seventh generation. Since then, this branch has been living in Kerr.Although he himself is not a direct descendant, but because he is obsessed with the history of the Holy Spirit Clan and is very eager to learn, he is highly valued by the master's family. He once went to Li Ruixing's master's family to study further.The young man beside him is Jian Peixing, his youngest son, just 20 years old, and also his student.

"It's a pity that I'm not good at learning." Professor Jian sighed, "Although I can recognize a few words in Holy Spirit, but the language of Holy Spirit is concise, and often three or four words can be formed into sentences without punctuation. Correctly dismantling the article into sentences can only be done by the elders of the main family."

Ares is not disappointed, as long as someone in the Jane family can interpret the Holy Spirit text, he doesn't mind waiting for the arrival of Jane's parents.Once the news of the Holy Spirit's notes reaches Jane's family, they will definitely send someone.This time I came to say hello to Jian's house in Keer Xing, and it was only out of courtesy.

"I don't know, can I show that notebook to the old man?" Professor Jian looked embarrassed, "If I can't take a look at it, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about it for a few days."

"It's okay." Ares smiled, took out the notes from the bag, and handed them to Professor Jane.

Professor Jian fearfully took out a pair of silk gloves from his pocket, put them on properly, and then reached out to take the notebook.He stroked the leather cover of the notebook with trembling fingers, lingered for a while on the leather binding on one side, then turned to the back cover, staring at the seal.

"Shengyin." His voice was a little hoarse, "I know these two words. The word Yin means concealment and concealment, and the word holy... The Holy Spirit family uses Sheng as their surname, which seems to be a personal name."

Then, he flipped through the notes, page by page, very slowly, but no one present disturbed him.He turned the pages and murmured: "This should be an article recording something. I saw the date mark. Well, this sentence should mean that this person named Yin opened his eyes for the first time... Walking for the first time... I understand, this should be the record of Shengyin's growth made by his parents. Unfortunately, there are too many words that I can't recognize."

Ares' fingers holding the cub trembled slightly, but immediately regained his composure.

The notes are still flipping through, and each page has to stay for a long time, but it is gradually approaching the back cover.Suddenly, as a page was turned, all the people present sat up straight involuntarily, and all their eyes focused on that page.

On the latest page of notes, there were several large and small blood spots scattered. The standard square-shaped handwriting of the Holy Spirit was so scrawled that it could no longer maintain the neat strokes. Each word was much larger than that on the previous page. Crooked and squeezed together.

Ares reached out and pulled the note back in front of him, quickly flipped through a few pages, and saw about three or four pages of this kind of text stained red by blood drops.After three or four pages, another period of neat square characters continued, and the last few pages became blank.He closed the notebook with a snap, put it back in the bag, and said with a little apology: "Just read this first, and for the rest, after you introduce me to the elders of Patriarch Jane's family, I will give them the copy. At the same time, I will leave you a copy."

Professor Jian's eyes were still a little blurred, and he seemed to have more ideas, so he kept repeating in a trance: "Okay, okay, no problem."

Jian Peixing, who had been sitting quietly beside Professor Jian, suddenly sighed, and said helplessly, "It's like this again." Then he turned his gaze to Ares and his party, and explained, "Father is always like this, once he is immersed in academic research and When you think about it, you don’t care about anything.”

Ares said: "Understandable."

Jian Peixing said embarrassingly: "Well, I will write a letter to the master's house for you on behalf of my father. When my father is more awake, I will urge him to introduce you."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Ares nodded and said, "Then you take care of Professor Jane first, and we will leave now."

"In such a hurry?" Jian Peixing was surprised, "Father arranged lunch, although he may... but I have to entertain you. Just now, my father was too slow to read and dragged on for so long. If this lunch is not entertained by Jane's family, It’s really unreasonable.”

"It's okay." Ares said, "It's not even lunch time yet, and we have to rush back to the garrison base, it's getting late."

Jian Peixing said with a smile: "But if I don't entertain you well, my father will blame me. And... and the lunch is already being prepared, Your Highness, will you give me a face?"

This kind of behavior of forcing the guests made Ares feel a little disgusted. There are not many such people, especially those who want to have a relationship with him. They always have such a diligent face, which annoys him very much.It's just that Jane's family shouldn't, even if it's a side branch.

Ares politely declined again, stood up and said goodbye.Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his cuff.

Jian Peixing seemed to be stunned for a moment, let go of his hand in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness, won't you honor your lunch?"

Xue Yi also felt that the red-haired young man in front of him was a bit annoying.He was already sleepy, and he was extremely bored watching an old man flipping through books all morning, so he became a little short-tempered, wondering what this guy was up to, was he trying to cling to my adoptive father?Thinking in this way, Xue Yi unearthed a bit of mental power, intending to test what kind of emotion this Jian Peixing was holding.

A slight buzzing sound suddenly appeared.

Immediately there was intense shock and panic.

The panic didn't last for a moment, and it turned into a strong killing intent.

Xue Yi saw the young man who seemed a little embarrassed just now staring at him, his eyes were cold.His heart was beating violently, and his body shrank involuntarily, pressing tightly against the major general's chest.He connected to Ares' mental power for a moment, and almost screamed: "He's a ghost—!"

Ares didn't need Xue Yi to remind him, he also sensitively noticed Jian Peixing's killing intent at that moment.He immediately activated his ability to push the person into the air. He guarded the cub tightly, kicked the screen, and walked towards the gate.During the operation, he opened the bracelet, wanting to report the information here to the military immediately, but saw that the bracelet showed no network status.

The heavy heavy wooden door of the main hall was slammed shut, and Ares was about to hit the door, but stopped suddenly.

chi chi chi-

There was a burst of intensive noises, and the heavy wooden gate, which was more than ten centimeters thick, was penetrated by several sharpened iron bamboos. The sharp sections of the iron bamboos penetrated into the door from the outside, but it seemed that it was not damaged at all, and still reflected Cold light.

A Min reacted quickly, and immediately poured his power into the iron bamboos, trying to burn them all.However, to her surprise, when her extremely violent ability hit the iron bamboo, it was completely neutralized, not even a single spark appeared on the sharp bamboo section.

"Your Highness the Thirteenth." Jian Peixing spoke at this time, but his tone was no longer as polite as before, but rather cold, "I actually admire you very much, and I don't want to fight you here. As long as you put the Hand over the cub, and I will let you go. I will never break my promise."

Ares sneered: "I don't need your admiration."

The sound of fighting finally woke up Professor Jian from his trance. Looking at the situation in the hall, his expression changed drastically: "Peipei! What are you doing!"

Ares didn't give the old man any face anymore, and used his ability to smash all the surrounding furnishings at Jian Peixing. The tempered glass coffee table that was originally placed in the center of the sofa was crushed by gravity while flying in the air, but the sharp fragments did not fall to the ground. , but fly to the target as many as possible.

The heavy objects in this room contained glass shards, almost all of them hit the red-haired young man standing there motionless in an instant, and were then squeezed into a strange shape.

"Pepei——!" Professor Jian was heartbroken, and rushed over, only to see that the debris suddenly shattered and fell to the ground, while her youngest son was unscathed—it turned out to be a decorative straw mat. He blocked all attacks.

Professor Jian breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Ares, and asked, "Your Highness the Thirteenth! Please explain!"

"It was your son who did it first!" Ares said in a deep voice, also in a bad temper, "He may have been parasitized by a ghost now."

Professor Jian was stunned for a moment, but retorted almost instantly: "You are lying! Phantom parasites can no longer use their abilities! Peipei used his abilities just now! Peipei, Peipei, stop, why did you make His Highness angry? Calm down, just sit down and explain clearly—”

Ares did not refute this statement.

"Because..." Jian Peixing said, a pair of emerald-like green eyes shone like a smile, but at the same time he was staring at Ares standing in front of the gate, "Because the ghost can't use the ability, the restriction It's just ghosts below the royal family..."

Ares' pupils instantly shrank into a thin line!

Before Professor Jian realized the meaning of this sentence, he felt his body tremble, as if he had been hit by something.

He lowered his head slowly, and saw an ebony hairpin stuck in his heart.

"This hairpin...I...made it for Peipei..." A few images flashed through the old man's mind, "But...why..." He didn't even think about it until he died. Why did this little son attack the imperial hero, His Highness Ares?

A wave of spiritual power vibrated like a substance, and Ares instantly erected a mental barrier to block the impact.The sharp pain seemed to pass through this barrier, piercing deeply into Xue Yi's brain.The sudden burst of buzzing made him tense all over his body, stretching out all his claws, tightly grasping the skirt of Ares's chest.

Ares' eyes have become blood red, and the purple pupils line them up, making them look extremely strange.

The author has something to say:

Accidentally opened a small boss, the major general expressed that the pressure was a bit high...
