They took the place of their Old Master and grandfather to receive the New Year visits from their previous military comrades.
All seven brothers tried to take turns, but they couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of the villagers.
After a day of polite conversation, their throats were smoking dry, and they all went hoarse.
Their raspy voices sounded particularly funny.
Lin Qingluo prepared medicinal tea for her sisters-in-law and brothers with great consideration, which helped to soothe their throats, relieve hoarseness, and ease tiredness.
That night, she took Little Eight Lin Jinhao and Little Nine Lin Jinlei to a bamboo grove to guard them while they took the Psychic Fruits to cultivate their Spirit Roots.
Little Eight Lin Jinhao was 12 years old, and Little Nine Lin Jinlei was 11 years old.
The two young boys were worthy members of the Lin Clan. Their strong will power was no less than that of any of their brothers.
After suffering through the night, the two successfully cultivated their Spirit Roots, and the test results were a delightful surprise.
Lin Jinhao had Earth and Wood Dual Attribute Spiritual Roots.
Lin Jinlei had Water and Wood Double-attribute Spirit Roots.
The two young boys were overjoyed to the point of tears. They clung to their sister, one on each side, tears streaming down their faces with excitement.

New Year’s Day had just begun, and the Divine Beast Baby wasn’t idle either. It flew around the valley and brought back news of the Noble Lord to its master.
“Where is he?”
Lin Qingluo could not help but feel a surge of anger.
“He is in the Beiqi Imperial Palace.”
Little Kingfisher revealed an unexpected answer.
“He’s in Beiqi… the Imperial Palace?”
Lin Qingluo paused her breathing, unbelievingly asking again.
“Yes.”
Little Kingfisher was very sure: “With his appearance, he stands out even more in Beiqi, where men are highly regarded. The birds won’t be mistaken.”
Lin Qingluo frowned: “Why would he be in the Beiqi Imperial Palace?”
“That’s a long story.”
Little Kingfisher’s gossip-loving heart was overflowing, its eyes filled with mockery: “The Wu Clan girl that Xia Yan, the King of Beiming, sent to the Beiqi Monarch over a decade ago also inherited the same Innate Charm ability as the Noble Lord.”
“Both were forced to cultivate Charming Skills since childhood, and they grew up together, with deep feelings for each other.”
“Later on, they were forced to separate. The Noble Lord came to Fengqi, while the girl was sent by Xia Yan to the Beiqi Monarch.”
“The Beiqi Monarch is very calculating; he knows their background and secretly communicates with the Noble Lord, reaching an agreement with him.”
“What kind of agreement?”
Lin Qingluo frowned.
Little Kingfisher honestly replied: “The Noble Lord will work for him, and he will protect the girl and allow them to resume their past relationship.”
“So that means…”
Lin Qingluo’s thoughts were heavy: “On the surface, the Noble Lord is a spy of Beiming, but in reality, his true master is the Beiqi Monarch.”
“Yes.”
Little Kingfisher suddenly realized: “No wonder the girl, with her beauty that can topple cities and her Innate Charm, has been abandoned by the Beiqi Monarch in the Cold Palace for ten years without inquiry. It turns out he has another use for her.”
“Hmph!”
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows darkened, and her anger surged: “The Noble Lord has left his wife and child and abandoned Fengqi. To the scheming Beiqi Monarch, he has become useless and will sooner or later be discarded to taste the bitter fruit of his own making.”
“Not necessarily.”
Little Kingfisher rarely disagreed with its master’s thoughts: “As long as the Empress still cares about the Noble Lord, he has value, and the Beiqi Monarch won’t give up such a useful chess piece.”
“Sigh.”
Lin Qingluo felt disheartened: “Has the Empress awakened yet?”
“She has awakened.”
Little Kingfisher sneered: “As soon as she woke up, she started thinking about the Noble Lord and ordered the Imperial Court to search for him.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes became cold: “She is too deeply poisoned and has fallen into the devil’s trap already.”
“Master, about the lost Imperial Succession Jade Seal.”
