Transcendent Ember

Chapter 402 New Year's Eve
On New Year's Eve, Yujing is decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Zhang Yuan and Yuan Xia made hasty preparations, and they didn't have much thought to make a fuss. The three children were not at home, which made the two elders very lonely.

Even the sausage, bacon and small dried fish prepared in advance are not fragrant.
Looking at the empty room, Yuan Xia said sullenly, "Although I knew that such a day would come, it came too suddenly. There was no transition at all. I was still at home during the Chinese New Year last year."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Okay, okay, the children are going to do business. You know Mr. Luo Jieni, and you have helped Ji Chuan many times. Now that he is about to be promoted, can you still let Ji Chuan not go?" Leave him alone?"

"I know, I'm just saying"

"Don't complain, come, clean up with me, and you will adapt to old age in advance."

Platinum Lane, the Qin family.

The end of the year has come, and many officials are on vacation, leaving only a few staff on duty.

The housekeeper, Qin Ming, was hosting the evening banquet. Every year during the Chinese New Year, Qin Huaimin would entertain the nobles and officials who supported him.

Similarly, Li Luo also had a similar banquet.

By the study window, Qin Huaimin and Qin Ziyu stood side by side, seeing many maids and servants busy, Qin Huaimin asked: "Have all the invitations been sent out?"

"It's all sent out, father." Qin Ziyu replied, "The corresponding New Year's gifts have also been sent to each family's house along with the invitation."

"Yes." Qin Huaimin nodded slightly, expressing his approval, and he added, "Chinese New Year is a time when favors are changing, other officials and nobles are fine, but there are two of them, you must come to invite them in person.

"One is the Lei family. Originally, you should have married the Lei family after you were promoted to the fourth-rank extraordinary, but last time the Hu Tai incident caused public resentment and the marriage was postponed. You, Uncle Lei, have a lot of trouble." Opinion.

"The second is the Zhou family. Although the unification of weights and measures has passed, we have to show enough respect in case you, Uncle Zhou, have any thoughts in your heart."

Qin Ziyu said seriously: "I know, don't worry, I will invite Uncle Lei and Uncle Zhou when I am ready."

"That's good."

In the afternoon, Qin Ziyu left Lei's house and came to Zhou's house.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw Zhou Chang with a tired face.The unified weights and measures of the land and sea tribes had a great impact on the business environment of the five major countries. Zhou Chang, the Minister of Commerce, has not had a peaceful night's sleep for a long time.

"Uncle Zhou, today is New Year's Eve, so let's put these business affairs aside." Qin Ziyu looked at the mountain of business affairs on the desk, a flash of apology flashed in his eyes, but he hid it well, "Father is still waiting for you to pass the house Going to the banquet."

"I see." Zhou Chang was extremely tired, and said in a tone that didn't fluctuate much.

Qin Ziyu didn't suspect that when a person was exhausted to the extreme, it was really difficult to have any mood swings in front of those close to him.He looked around and wondered, "Where is Ah Yun?"

"I'm here." Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, and as soon as the words fell, Zhou Yun walked into the study with the same expressionless face.

This time, even Zhou Chang was a little surprised, looking at his son: "Ah Yun, have you left the customs?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yun nodded indifferently.

"Hahahaha, Ah Yun, it's really time for you to leave the customs. Let's go, go to my house. Father has been talking about you a lot lately." Qin Ziyu's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to put his arm around Zhou Yun's shoulder and said.

"Senior brother, I won't go." Zhou Yun said in a calm tone, "I'm going to complete the promotion ceremony."

"A promotion ceremony?" Qin Ziyu blinked his eyelids, showing surprise, "Have you met the conditions for promotion to the third rank?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yun nodded.

Qin Ziyu said excitedly: "Great, great, you have finally reached this point."

Zhou Chang also lifted his spirits, the exhaustion on his face was swept away, he nodded excitedly and said: "Okay, Ah Yun, you did a good job."

Zhou Yun nodded slightly, as a response to the compliment of the two.

Qin Ziyu did not doubt that there was him. When many people were promoted to the third rank, due to the requirements of the promotion ceremony, their personalities and behaviors would become extremely weird, which was an extremely normal thing.

He patted Zhou Yun on the shoulder: "Is the ceremony complicated? Can it start a day later? Today is New Year's Eve."

Zhou Yun shook his head: "It's a bit complicated, it will take about a month or two, and it must start today."

Qin Ziyu felt a little regretful when he heard this, but he had no choice but to say, "If you need help with anything, just ask."

"No, I can do it."

"All right."

Qin Ziyu conveyed Qin Huaimin's invitation again, and did not leave Zhou's house until Zhou Chang agreed.

Watching him walk out of Zhou's house, Zhou Yun suddenly asked Zhou Chang, "Dad, how is the investigation going?"

The excitement on Zhou Chang's face gradually faded away, and his expression became a little gloomy: "We captured some merchants from the Sea tribe, and only used some unconventional opening paragraphs. We can basically confirm that the inside story of sea and land transactions to the Sea tribe, and fueled the flames." , is from the Qin family."

click!
Zhou Yun squeezed his fist, and his knuckles creaked.

It was also the first time for Zhou Chang to talk about this matter with the second person, and he felt a little resentful: "Oh, what a Qin Huaimin, I have been loyally supporting him for so many years, but I didn't expect that he would not hesitate to use it for his own benefit. I'm betrayed.

"Ayun, I've been thinking recently, is it the right choice to support Qin Huaimin without reservation? Tell me, do we need to make some other preparations?"

Zhou Yun frowned, his mood became very tangled.

He didn't tell Zhou Chang that part of his promotion ceremony was related to this matter.
Boundless cold comes to the world with the night, but this night, people drive away the cold with fiery passion and loud firecrackers.

The island of disorder, the ten thousand year camp.

As the adventurers from the four major forces left one after another, only clones, Liu Yiyi and other camp related personnel remained in the entire camp.

They cannot leave. Being an operator or employee of a camp means that most of the time they will stay in the ground, and Chinese New Year is no exception.

There are always some adventurers who don't care about the Chinese New Year. When they need it, the camp must provide services.

In the brightly lit room, the clones, Liu Yiyi, Xie Yu, Celt, Liang Yuan and other staff gathered together, and the clones raised their glasses and said, "Everyone, after nearly a month of running-in, our camp has begun to make progress. It’s on track, today is New Year’s Eve, I would like to offer a toast to everyone.”

Everyone drank it down, except for Celt's clone and Channing's puppet, who were responsible for serving tea and pouring water.
The clone said again: "But now is the protection period. Those who come to the camp this month are all from Yujing University, Yujing White Tower and other four major forces. They will sell us a face, and some of them are not doing well. Details were not pursued.

"But after five months, the protection period will come. At that time, adventurers from all over the world will come to the island of disorder, and they will not indulge us. We must find and solve problems during these five months. It is necessary to present a fully-operated camp to adventurers.”

While controlling the puppet to serve the food, Qian Ning said, "Don't worry, boss."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Yuan Sheng, who had turned into a jade elf with a lot of gold tongbao hanging on his body, stammered, his forehead was flushed.

hit the wall
Liu Yiyi didn't give face, and hummed: "There's so much nonsense, why don't you let people eat?"

The corner of the clone's mouth twitched: "Okay, okay, that's all I said, let's eat and eat"

Xingyue Plain, an overburden area to the south of Tianxing Forest.

Boundless twilight fell from the sky and poured into the head of a figure sitting cross-legged, coating the figure with a layer of silver light, and even his pair of pitch-black wings emitted a dim light.

Boom, boom, boom! ——

In Black Crow's mind, there seemed to be thousands of thunderbolts exploding, his soul was shaking violently, and two powerful soul forces echoed in and out, trying to break through a seal.

The black crow was originally a second-rank extraordinary creature, but when he was imprisoned because of Xu Yan, his soul power was sealed by Xiacheng Prison.One seal was broken when he escaped from prison, but there was another seal that had not been broken.

After escaping from prison, with the help of Santa Felina, he bypassed the letter and rebuilt his soul power. As for the original soul power, it was still sealed.

However, the members of the same boat club broke through to the second rank one by one, and it became more and more difficult to investigate the rebellion of someone in the Xinhua Dynasty, which made the black crow determined to break through the seal.

He came to Xingyue Plain for nearly a month, harvested the souls of many strange beasts, and gathered a huge amount of soul power.At this time, the power of this soul is continuously pouring out from the 'Scythe of Death' to help him break through the seal.

The black crow's consciousness roared, and I don't know how long it took. Finally, under the impact of the two soul forces inside and outside, the strong seal became crumbling.

"Santa Filina!"

Crow, who had been preparing for this moment for a long time, gritted his teeth, and sent a voice transmission to Santa Felina with consciousness: "It's now!"

"Understood." Santa Felina's neutral voice sounded.

boom!
A beautifully shaped and simple plum vase appeared in Black Crow's consciousness, wrapped in unparalleled power, descending like a thunderbolt.

Bang, the plum bottle collided with the seal and burst, but that layer of seal was finally crushed by the last straw, it was suddenly torn apart, and the power of the sealed soul poured out.
hum!
On the soul corona behind the black crow's head, the seventh node, the eighth node, and the ninth node lit up one after another, and then, purple symbols flashed one by one, forming the second corona inside the black soul corona .
The black crow recovered his cultivation, and made great strides forward, becoming a second-rank and third-rank extraordinary creature!

"Heh." After a long while, the roar in his consciousness finally stopped, and the black crow opened his eyes and smiled slightly, "Finally, I am not behind."
