Chapter 749
There is nothing wrong with re-electing the head of the house on the grounds that Lu Yuan is dead.
Not only would the residents not object, they would also support it.
Ying Zidian’s eyes narrowed abruptly, “When did this happen.”
“Just now.” The housekeeper gritted his teeth, “The Sage House has just issued a notice saying that someone will be sent with an official warrant in the afternoon, Eldest Miss, what can we do about this?”
The position of Grand Master was for life.
If Lu Yuan hadn’t disappeared, this wouldn’t have happened at all.
“Let’s see what the House of Magi wants to do this afternoon.” Ying Ziji mused, “If it’s suddenly early, there must be a reason.”
The phone rang twice at that moment.
[Norton]: By the way, this guy is sort of your third uncle, right? He was going to report your blood type to Sara, and I said I hated the Lehngar family, so I killed it.
[Norton]: But you’re not really a Sage, are you?
Ying looked down: “……”
She probably knew what was going on.
Sara Victoria was quite calculating, just using this one sentence from Norton to advance the campaign for the Great House Chief.
But it was only a matter of time before a new Grand President was chosen.
Ying dialed the phone straight away, “I’ll tell you something.”
In the single person villa, Norton looked at the little girl shivering against the door panel and raised an eyebrow, “Okay, boss, you tell me.”
“What do you think of Sinai?”
“Quite annoying, but also quite cute, why?”
“Well, she’s from the Leingold family.” Ying paused and added, without skipping a beat, “Sort of my aunt.”
Norton: “?”
He knew that Sinai’s body had reverted to an adult when it was normal because of some alchemical drug that had mutated into her body.
But he didn’t expect that it was actually Ying Zigui’s aunt.
Norton gripped the phone in his hand, his eyes falling slowly: “So afraid of me? All sweaty?”
Sinai shook her head deadpan, “No, I’m hot.”
“Oh.” Norton really believed it, “There’s ice juice over there.”
He said, and with one hand he was about to grab the little girl’s shirt and lift her up.
Sinai subconsciously ducked.
But still, she couldn’t escape the clutches.
“Come on, what’s the point of hiding.” Norton smiled, “You’ll be a flat body after one look, I’m not interested, I only like well-built ones.”
“And you’re too different in age from me, I’m not interested in kids.”
Sinai: “……”
Someone fix this guy.
**
This way.
Ying returned to the home with the butler and Fifth Moon.
There were quite a few people gathered in the hall, apparently all already aware of the sudden order from the House of Magi.
Shao Ying stepped forward and nodded slightly, “Eldest sister.”
Ying nodded, “Didn’t go to the lab?”
“I was going to, but it’s a big day, so it’s okay to delay for a day.” Shao Ying wrinkled her brows, “Is uncle really not here?”
Ying Ziji’s expression was rare and serious, “I will find my father.”
Hearing this, Bi’er turned her head and smiled, “I guess I was right, the election for the head of the family is about to start, big sister, are you ready?”
There are so many rules and regulations for running for the position of Grand Chief, not only does it depend on one’s own strength, but also on the power behind it.
How long had Ying Ziji been in the World City, and could her power be stronger than hers?
A young master of the Hacker Union was still far from enough.
“Huh, Master, Little Green Tea is here too.” Fifth Moon pouted, “Master, I don’t want to see her.”
Ying Ziji pressed her head.
Of her apprentices and juniors, only Fifth Moon and Xizhe liked to pamper her.
“Hmm.” Ying Ziji stuck one hand in her pocket, “Go up, the room is all ready for you.”
Fifth Moon cheered, “Yes.”
Bi’s face turned green.
She watched as Fifth Moon occupied the second best room, her nails pinching into her palm.
Upstairs.
“Wow!” Fifth Moon pushed the door in and was surprised to see the golden desk, “This is gold, right? It must be.”
Ying Zigui sniffed and glanced at it, “No, a gold-like ore that costs less than a tenth of the price of gold.”
Fifth Moon: “……”
She was so sad.
“It happened suddenly today, so I will take you to see him tomorrow.” Ying poured a gla*s of water, “Take a rest, I have to ask you for help with the trigonometry tonight.”
At the mention of this, Fifth Moon suddenly climbed up and picked up her small bag, “Master, I’m going out for a while, I’ll be back in the afternoon.”
Ying Zigui looked up, “What?”
“To go outside and have my fortune told at the stall.” Fifth Moon was gorgeous, “First, I’ll cheat a few pocket money.”
“……”
**
Four o’clock in the afternoon.
In the hall, the various factions were gathered.
Bea looked at the girl sitting next to Su Wen, pursing her lips, unable to calm down her mood.
She took a deep breath and squeezed her fingers tight.
Luckily, it was about to be time to choose the Grand Master.
Ten minutes later.
The steward arrived.
“This is the warrant jointly signed by the Sage Lords.” The Steward smiled faintly, “The campaign for Grand Master will be officially opened in October.”
“The Sage Lords have also chosen what the campaign will be about, so please look through it.”
With that, he tapped on the tablet in his hand.
“With a swish, a 3d projected three-dimensional blue screen slowly unfolded in the hall.
One by one, the campaign items were arranged.
Mechanical.
Alchemy.
Healing.
Martial arts.
……
The last line, clearly written, states that the final campaign for the Great House Presidency will be held in the presence of the Sages themselves.
If none of the successors met these regulations by then, the House of Sages would promote another family.
As soon as these campaign items came out, the whole hall fell into a silence.
The Second Lady turned pale, and Wang Yue looked up in astonishment.
Su Wen was the most composed, and she held Ying Zigui’s hand: “The House of Magi, is it written wrong.”
Forgetting alchemy and healing for a moment, the force alone was not a match for the Leingar family.
“That is the order of the Sage Lords, it is not written wrong.” The Steward spoke, “The Sage Lords mean that the new Grand Master must know these so as not to repeat the mistakes of twenty years ago.”
He smiled, meaning to say, “The Magi do not want such a thing to happen again, so they need someone stronger to succeed them.”
Su Wen’s eyes instantly turned cold.
Ying Zidian held Su Wen’s hand back and slowly raised his eyes, “All-powerful means mediocre, so that’s the kind of person the Sage Academy needs to be the head of the house.”
Fifth Moon: “……”
Her master scolded people and always liked to scold himself.
This time it was the Steward’s turn to turn pale: “Eldest Miss, be careful what you say.”
Ying Zigui faded: “The warrant has been received, you may go.”
“Someone’s coming.” Su Wen also returned to her senses, “Send the guest away.”
“Don’t bother First Lady and First Miss.” The steward’s face went cold, “I will myself-”
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell like a dog on the steps outside the hall.
The steward withdrew his leg and clapped his hands, “Get lost you!”
After kicking the man, he then looked at his feet suspiciously.
How come his body was so much lighter since Missy had treated him to a candy bar?
This beating was even stronger.
Fifth Moon looked at the screen again and lowered her voice, “Master, you have someone in the Sage Academy, right?”
How come this line of competition items seems to be tailor-made for her master?
Ying Zigui’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Yes, there are, but my people, they don’t care about that.”
Hugh was busy saving the residents while perming his hair.
Norton was bringing up the children.
Norton was too late to return to the World City, and his prestige was nowhere near as high as Sara and Louis.
Ying was also thinking about why this campaign for the big head of the Leingold family was so special.
It was definitely not just as simple as the butler had said.
Bea’s face was also ugly: “Mom, what does the House of Magi mean by this?”
For generations, many of the direct members of the Lehngar family had gone into the Institute, but most of them were in the Engineering Academy.
It was not unheard of for those to enter the Biogenetic Institute, but it was only a few.
After all, alchemy was not like mechanical aerospace and required a certain amount of talent.
Without alchemical talent, those who enter the biogenetic institute can only study genetics, but cannot access the core alchemical technology.
Su Wen turned her head: “Yao Yao, or ……”
For power she did not see it as very important, she just did not want Ying Zigui to suffer any more.
“It’s okay, I know a bit of everything.” Ying Zigui placated Su asked, “Mom, it’s important that everyone running for office doesn’t have to look for dad.”
After saying that, she got up and signed her name at the bottom of the warrant.
Seeing this scene, Bi’er was not willing to lag behind and also went forward to sign.
After the two had signed, a few other members of the first family signed up.
Bi’er scanned them carelessly.
Apart from Ying Zidian, who was a bit of a threat to her, the others were not worth mentioning.
She was sure to win this race for the position of head of the family.
Just as Su Man was about to switch off the warrant, a voice rang out from outside the hall.
“I can also sign up for something as important as choosing the head of the Great House, can’t I?”
Chapter 750
In the hall, everyone turned back.
The woman was dressed in a black one-piece combat suit, with platinum blonde hair that reached her waist.
Bea looked startled as her expression changed, “Aunt?”
If another Sinai was added to the mix, her chances of winning would be greatly reduced.
No matter how confident Bea was, she would not dare to compare her aeronautical machinery with Sinai, who had already made a name for herself at the Institute ten years ago.
When she heard this title, the smile on the woman’s lips faded little by little and her eyebrows went cold: “I am not Sinai.”
Bea’s body stiffened, and she felt her blood run cold.
She turned her head and looked at the Second Lady for help.
But she saw that the always calm Second Lady was also shocked, obviously surprised by the woman’s appearance.
The woman did not look at Bi’er again, turned her head and smiled, “I’ve only just returned, and I haven’t congratulated my sister-in-law on getting back my own daughter.”
Su Wen looked calm, polite and detached: “Congratulations too, on your return from your studies, if you don’t come back, the family should forget that you are such a person.”
Ying Zidian looked up.
She did not recognize the woman as Sinai.
At first glance, the woman did look like Sinai, but she was still a step behind.
Especially since the woman’s face was thickly made up, forcing her to rely on eyeliner and lipstick to lift her overall aura.
Off to the side, Lookout Moon blurted out, “It’s you, Heero?!”
“I am truly honoured that Fourth Sister remembers me.” Heero took a few steps forward and casually signed his name in the margin.
At this point, the number of people running for the position of Grand Master became ten.
Bea clenched her fingers, “Mom, who is Heero?”
How come she had never heard of such a name.
The Second Lady’s voice sank, “I’ve never heard your father mention it either.”
“By the way, don’t ever mistake me for Sinai.” Heero turned and glanced emphatically at Bea, “She merely got out before me.”
She clapped her hands together and smiled again, “Since many of you don’t know me, I’ll start by introducing myself, my name is Heero and I’m sixth in line.”
“Sinai’s half-sibling twin sister.”
Bea was shocked again.
She had an aunt?
“I was received into the House of Sages when I was two years old, I studied alchemy with the Lord Magician, fighting with the Lord Tower, and etiquette and literacy with the Lord Queen.” Heero was still smiling, “Now come back and compete for the position of Head of the House.”
“At least I can guarantee that I won’t have the Leingor family outlawed.”
“……”
There was instant silence in the hall.
Heero’s appearance had killed a lot of people.
Especially with this resume of hers.
Studying under three sages, a privilege no one in the City of Worlds had ever had.
Bi’s heart instantly went cold.
She had thought that Ying Zigui was already a threat.
The moment Heero appeared, she was directly crushed.
Who else could compare to this?
Heero didn’t even look at Bi’er, came to the girl and held out his hand: “Congratulations in advance for winning the last game.”
Ying Ziyi raised her eyes and shook her hand: “Same happiness.”
Two words, sending back the words in their original form.
Heero’s face sank slightly as he looked at the girl who had gone upstairs with Su Wen, his eyes uncertain.
She had been taught by the three Magi, and the only ones who could be better than her were the Magi.
Was Ying Zidian?
Obviously not.
And this time, in the race for Grand Master, alchemy and force were at the top of the list.
Heero shrugged and turned to head out of the hall.
**
Upstairs.
In the bedroom.
Su Wen’s voice sank, “No wonder, the House of Magi would set up such campaign rules.”
It was clear that it was to allow Heero to ascend to the position of Grand Master.
Whether in alchemy or force, Heero had undergone the proper training of the Sage Academy, and even the geniuses of the Institute could not compare.
How much worse could the genes of the Leingold family be?
And the race for Grand Master was three out of five.
Mechanics, just one of the innings.
It would be better to re-promote a new family than to take the Leingold family completely under control.
Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.
She could be sure that the magician must have something to do with the Black Skull, except that it should only be the one at the bottom.
And Norton had been watching Sara for months and had yet to find any sign of it.
Now, another Sage Tower had appeared.
“Yao, you are very good, mother is pleased.” Soo asked worried, “But this time against, the whole House of Magi, I’m afraid you’ll be with ……”
At this point, she couldn’t go on, a lump bubbling up in her throat.
She had already lost her husband, and didn’t want to lose her daughter again.
“Mom, things aren’t that serious yet.” Ying knew what she was thinking and soothed, “Dad’s place, I won’t let anyone else take it.”
“You rest first.” She poured a gla*s of water for Su Wen, “Don’t worry about anything else, I’m here.”
The girl’s voice carried a rea*suring strength.
Su Wen bowed her head, wiped her tears and solemnly said, “Yao Yao, to me, you two, father and daughter, are always the most important, make sure you protect yourself first.”
Ying nodded and went out of the bedroom to Fifth Moon’s room.
The formation for the trigram calculation had been set up in the afternoon.
Fifth Moon’s eyes lit up, “Master, come here, I’ll show you a hand.”
Ying Ziji sits down and raises his eyebrows, “Good, let’s begin.”
Ten minutes later.
Fifth Moon slumped on the table, her whole body was quite weak, her face pale, “If my calculations are correct, Master, your father should not be in the City of Worlds.”
“Not there?” Ying Zigui’s eyes changed slightly, she pondered for a long time and slowly, “Then I’m afraid he’s also gone to the seven continents and four oceans, just like Uncle Qing Lang.”
But with Fifth Moon’s trigonometry ability, the scope of finding someone wasn’t enough to reach the whole earth.
Qing Lang had escaped for half a year and had fled the whole o continent.
After twenty years, he simply did not know where Road Abyss was.
“Master, as I said, the closer you are to someone, not only can you not calculate them, it’s hard for me to do so too.” Fifth Moon bowed her head, a little lost, “It’s possible that your father is indeed there, but because I’m not capable enough, I can’t count it.”
“You’re very good.” Ying Ziji laughed silently, “Your talent for trigonometry is better than I thought.”
“I’m still working on it.” Fifth Moon rubbed her head in embarra*sment, “Master, don’t worry, I will help you find your father.”
“As the old saying goes, count on anyone, not me.” Ying Zigui glanced at the sky and looked detached, “Take you to eat something delicious.”
Fifth Moon came to life at once, “Yeah.”
The Leingold family had a special teleportation channel to the centre of the city, which was very convenient.
Down was the most luxurious long street.
Fifth Moon rubbed her hands together, “Master, I’m going to eat over there, I’m a bigger eater, we’ll meet up later.”
Ying nodded and contacted Fu Yunshen.
On this side of the street, Fifth Moon took her card and ate past in a flash.
Just as she was about to take a break, she turned her head and saw a young man get out of a golden car.
His hair was also blonde and he was wearing a watch of tens of millions of dollars on his hand.
There was only one signal emanating from his body: “I’m rich”!
If this is not a scam, is there any sense in it?
Fifth Moon immediately swallowed the last pill and quickly stepped forward.
The guards on either side of him were alerted: “Who is it?”
“Young man, I see that your seal is black, you are bound to have a bloodbath tomorrow!” Fifth Moon ignored the guards and squared up, “Have you been having insomnia lately, waking up with nightmares but not being able to remember the exact content of your dreams?”
Xize was quite fond of these types of people because Ying Zigui was a diviner.
Especially since Fifth Moon was indeed accurate.
He waved his hand, signalling the guards to stand down, “Tell me carefully.”
“Let’s see, you’ve been dreaming for what should be a week.” Fifth Moon gave Cesar a facepalm up and down, “Look, you have dark circles under your eyes on this handsome face, but dreams are a reaction of the subconscious mind, so what you dream about will most likely come true in reality.”
“You make a good point.” Cesar nodded in satisfaction and casually slapped a golden brick, “How to solve it?”
Fifth Moon looked at the golden brick, shocked inwardly but calm on the surface, “I’ll write a recipe for you, just drink water according to this recipe every day.”
She held the golden brick in one hand, and with the other hand she took out a pen and paper and wrote it down with a few swishes, “Here.”
Xize took it and looked at it, tapping out another gold brick.
Fifth Moon:”!!!”
What kind of absolute stupid money is this.
The fifth moon clutched the gold brick and ran away with the wind at her feet.
Cesar was about to take the car back to Laurent’s auction house when his foot lifted up and he suddenly came back to his senses.
He gritted his teeth and sneered, “Take that woman just now and tie her up for me!”
Two casual words, how he had given out two gold bricks.
Daring to cheat him out of his money, he would hunt her down to the ends of the earth!
Xize patted his head, took out his mobile phone and dialled Ying Zidian, pitying him: “Boss, I need sleeping pills urgently.”
Ying Zidian’s eyes stared slightly: “What?”
“I’ve been having dreams lately.” Cesar was breathless, “I dreamt of war every day, and I dreamt that I had a hiccup, and worst of all, there was a magician cheating me out of my money!”
Over here, Ying Ziyi just happened to see Fifth Moon who was returning happily carrying a piece of gold: “……”
She hadn’t brought two people to meet yet.
Is this what they call money attracting each other?
“Good.” Ying Ziji raised an eyebrow, “I’ll courier it over to you later.”
“Boss, the point is I’ve been cheated out of money.”
“Get cheated more and you don’t want to see gold anymore.”
“……”
“Hey, master, people here are just good at cheating.” Fifth Moon gushed, “I just met a silly big money man, and he gave me such two big gold bricks before I even offered my big killing weapon.”
Ying Ziji patted her on the shoulder, “Remember to cheat more often in the future.”
She was very relieved.
**
At this time, in the hotel.
Fu Yunshen wiped the sweat from his head, put on his clothes and walked out.
The manager greeted him and whispered, “Boss, that old woman from the Jade family is here again, she’s standing right in front of the hotel and keeps spilling her guts.”
I thought that Old Lady Yu would give up after the humiliation she had suffered last time.
Who knew that the old woman didn’t even want to lose her face and came to the hotel entrance every day to block people.
Fu Yunshen gave a faint hmph, not happy or angry: “Help her live on the w network.”
The manager immediately complied and hurriedly brought a few robot attendants downstairs, planting cameras and other equipment around Old Lady Yu.
It was also very thoughtful to turn on the pop-ups in the style of a 3d projection for Old Lady Yu to watch.
[Look, look, it’s this old woman again, Mr. Fu doesn’t care about you, you know?
Now you’re sorry you came here to beg, what did you do?
Old Lady Yu was so angry that her body trembled: “You, you ……”
On the other hand, Lime Ruo wrinkled her eyebrows.
She didn’t expect Fu Yunshen to ignore Old Lady Yu at all.
She had to do it herself.
“Duke Fu, the union is sincere, and I am also sincere to you.” Lime Ruo stepped forward, still una*suming, “I don’t think I have to get married either, if I can, it’s fine to try first.”
“My brother is the administrator of the w network, he can also be of great help to you.”
Fu Yunshen looked up, and his peach blossom eyes suddenly curved.
His smile was so powerful that Lime Ruo’s heart instantly jumped wildly.
But the next second, Fu Yunshen had already crossed over to her and walked over.
He stopped in front of the girl and leaned down slightly, “Are you waiting anxiously?”
“Fine.” Ying Zidian shoved the bag at him, “You take it.”
Fifth Moon immediately behaved, “Master his boyfriend is fine.”
“Little disciple is here too.” Fu Yunshen lifted his eyes, “I’m giving you something.”
Fifth Moon, who was once again stuffed with a piece of chocolate: “……”
She might as well go and cheat that stupid big man.
Ying Ziji raised her eyebrows, “You’re popular everywhere you go, brother.”
“Fine.” Fu Yunshen’s tone is casual, “You and I are one to ten, and there are quite a few girls pursuing you.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
Since Fu Yunshen had beaten and convinced all the a*sa*sins in the black base, these a*sa*sins had now stopped taking orders.
Every day, they would squat around the Institute and go to intimidate as soon as they found any signs.
A car suddenly landed from the air and came to a halt.
Lime Ruo almost fell over, she held her breath, tears still in her eyes, “What are you doing, no eyes?”
The car window came down and it was Xiu.
He had dyed his hair red today.
