The Ni family mansion.

"Fourth Brother!"

Ni Yongshuang and Ni Yongwu, leading a large group of men, carried all the spoils of war into the secret room: "I didn't expect the military to have searched so much!"

It would be impossible for anyone not to be tempted, so they all turned to Ni Yongxiao: "Fourth Brother! How should we arrange these things?"

"Um!"

Looking at the mountain of spirit stones, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings before him, Ni Yongxiao said in a deep voice, "Everyone has worked hard. Go and rest first, let me think about how to arrange things!"

After everyone left.

"Father!"

Ni Yongxiao looked at Ni Kun expectantly: "How should we arrange these things?"

"Ah-Xiao!"

Looking at the mountain of spirit stones, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings before him, Ni Kun said in a deep voice, "Taken from the people, used for the people!"

Yes, these assets are far from enough for Ni Kun; he wants to use this capital to expand his business even further.

Therefore, Ni Kun revealed his entire plan...

Three days later.

"Crackling and popping!"

While the pitiful wails and screams of those soldiers still echoed for days, a series of crisp and loud firecracker sounds reverberated over the port city.

The deafening sound of firecrackers not only dispelled the fear and sorrow of the people, but also heralded a new beginning for the port city.

"Start construction!"

As Ni Yongxiao, Lord Lu, and a group of returning wealthy merchants wielded shovels together to lay the foundation for the massive construction project, a new chapter was turned in the port city!

Looking at the scene before me.

Ni Kun knew in his heart that after the great calamity, the rise of feudal lords and the chaos of the world were only a matter of time.

Nevertheless, he still decided to carry out a major overhaul of the port city, not just for the purpose of building the city, attracting population, and making profits from the market.

Ni Kun had a long-term vision—he knew that once the banner of popular support was raised on this hill in Hong Kong, even if it was burned by war a thousand times, it could quickly rise again!

If not now, when?

Look around.

Those who survived the hardships were overwhelmed with joy and emotion.

They were all moved to tears, filled with gratitude, because they knew that the city's rebirth was inseparable from the efforts and contributions of the Ni family.

Lord Lu gripped Ni Yongxiao's hand tightly, raised it high, and then shouted with all his might, "Long live Gangcheng! Long live the Ni family!"

His booming voice echoed through the crowd, resonating with countless people.

next moment.

The densely packed crowd was instantly ignited by this enthusiasm, surging forward like a turbulent wave.

Then everyone joined in shouting, "Long live Hong Kong! Long live the Ni family..."

The shouts, rising and falling like thunder, shook the hearts of everyone present.

Seeing this scene, all the members of the Ni family were filled with pride.

Even Feng Qingyue, who always focused on cultivating her mind and remained unmoved by external things, couldn't help but be infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere and felt a surge of emotion in her heart.

Ni Yongshuang, a person with a cold personality, was moved to tears. She pinched Ni Yongwu tightly beside her, as if trying to release her inner excitement in this way.

At that very moment, the Ni family's prestige reached an unprecedented peak.

Those wisps of luck, invisible to the naked eye, flowed like gentle streams, slowly gathering above Ni Kun's head, forming a dazzling, unseen light.

"Um!?"

Feng Qingyue suddenly let out a surprised sound, vaguely sensing that faint fluctuation. With a thought, she activated the precious treasure in her arms.

"A surge of fortune!"

His eyes widened instantly, his breathing became rapid, and he was deeply shaken.

Yes, this scene of being blessed with good fortune was so rare that he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

He had only vaguely heard of it in ancient books before, and now, thanks to a precious treasure he possessed, he was able to glimpse its majestic aura.

at the same time.

A notification sound suddenly rang in Ni Kun's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved minor success in Qi Luck.]

[Ding! The host only needs to reach the point of perfect fortune.]

[When the Mysterious Ancient Tree reaches level 10, the limited-time supernatural ability experience will grant additional time rewards.]

Upon hearing this, Ni Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that this seemed to be hinting at something.

"Is she blessed with good fortune?"

"A minor breakthrough in fortune?"

"Perfect luck?"

"Could it be that as long as we gain more luck!"

"Reaching level ten in the eerie ancient tree rewards you with supernatural abilities? And there are additional rewards?"

If that's really the case, then the second supernatural power will definitely become one of his trump cards, giving him another way to deal with the threat from Haotian.

This idea thrilled Ni Kun.

He became even more determined to make a great leap forward in "The Treatise on Managing a Household" and upgrade it to level ten as quickly as possible. At the same time, he was also full of expectations for the ancestral worship ceremony to bring him a lot of good fortune.

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

In the early morning, the sunlight shines on Xiuwu Square, creating a magnificent and resplendent scene.

At this moment.

All the members of the Ni family gathered here, and various speculations and discussions buzzed like a disturbed swarm of bees.

"These days, the city is undergoing massive construction projects, and my Ni family is venturing into the real estate industry. Everyone is incredibly busy... not to mention the need to clean up the market and other businesses. Why are we being gathered together in the midst of all this busyness?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Could something have gone wrong?" A sense of unease crossed the other person's mind.

"It's hard to say. Although the market industry was taken back from the military, it also faces the threat of the ever-watchful Haoyue Sect!" a middle-aged disciple reminded him with concern.

"Moreover, even if we have evidence, the Imperial Guard is not only protected by the Yue Kingdom, but also backed by powerful families in the provincial capital, and even has the shadow of various sects!" an older disciple said worriedly.

"What's there to worry about? With the patriarch and Feng Qingyue here, everything can be handled!" The young disciples were full of confidence.

"Moreover, now that the four major families are no longer taking a share of the pie, our Ni family's income is going to increase exponentially!" Many of the younger members echoed, their eyes filled with anticipation.

However, just as everyone was discussing it.

"Everyone's here!"

Ni Yongxiao called out loudly and climbed up the high platform of Xiuwu Square with Ni Kun.

"Ah Kun? Why is he standing next to the head of the family?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be true that the family head is training a successor?" the others speculated.

"But I heard he doesn't have any spiritual roots?" Many disciples shook their heads, their tone filled with doubt.

"I'm so outstanding, why wasn't I chosen? Is there something fishy going on?" Many more students clenched their fists in indignation.

"Perhaps our Ni family should follow the example of the city lord of Hong Kong and produce a patriarch who is an ordinary person, so that he can win over people's hearts with his high moral character and prestige?" An older member of the family offered another perspective.

"It's over! It's over! My Ni family is going to fall into depravity and become a worldly family!" The young members all shook their heads and sighed, their faces full of despair.

However, at that moment...

"Ahem!"

Ni Yongxiao cleared his throat twice and announced in a loud voice, "Today, I have gathered you all here because of a matter of great importance concerning the rise and fall of our family!"

These words struck like a bolt from the blue, making everyone's hearts tighten.

The previously noisy scene instantly fell silent, with all the disciples holding their breath and waiting for what was to come.

at the same time.

The second-generation rich kids sitting on the high platform were originally whispering and laughing.

At that moment, everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.

Even Ni Yongwen, who had been dozing off, sat bolt upright as if struck by lightning, his eyes wide with astonishment: "The rise and fall of the family?"

Seeing this, Ni Yongxiao waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not be too nervous.

Then he turned around, his gaze falling on Ni Kun, and announced loudly, "Next, please welcome Ah Kun to announce a series of important decisions!"

These words were spoken.

"suck!"

Everyone gasped in unison.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if an invisible force had choked everyone, making it hard for them to breathe.

At that moment, their minds went blank, and they were completely unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

Those second-generation rich kids, in particular, had solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Why would a mere eighteen-year-old child be allowed to announce such a momentous event as the rise and fall of a family? What on earth is going on?

They looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and unease!

At this time.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Ni Yongwu's mind, making his face turn extremely ugly instantly.

He hurriedly walked up to Ni Yongxiao, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something loudly.

But in the end, he still chose to lean close to Ni Yongxiao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, don't scare me, do you have some kind of terminal illness?"

Upon hearing this,

Ni Yongxiao, who was usually known for his composure, surprisingly kicked Ni Yongwu hard in the backside without hesitation, laughing and cursing, "Get lost!"

While rubbing his buttocks, Ni Yongwu glared at Ni Kun, then stuck out two fingers, first pointing to his own two big eyes, and then pointing to Ni Kun, as if hinting at something.

However, when he saw Ni Yongxiao raise his heel again, he slunk away.

Ni Kun witnessed this scene and chuckled softly, "Hey, this brat, he really has no respect for his elders!"

Then he took a step forward, his gaze sharp and intense, slowly sweeping over everyone present.
