spect that someone from within our ranks leaked the information"Irene frowned and asked."I've taught you to rule nothing out.""I understand!"Did you summon Wu LianyiInstructor Chiang spoke in a low vo...Wen Shixuan nodded in agreement.

"I agree with Second Brother's idea. We can discuss this with Miss Hua. She definitely has her own reasons for entering the Wen Family Fortress. If we can join forces with her, we might not have to take the last step."

Wen Shirui had remained silent, knowing the predicament of the elders and that for the sake of the family and their future, they were willing to make the biggest concessions.

"Elderly masters, let me handle this!"

In the end, Wen Shirui still stood up.

"Shi Rui, how confident are you"

"Miss Hua is a tough opponent, and I can't guarantee what we can achieve. But I'm willing to give it a shot."

"Since things have come to this, we can't afford to retreat. Sherui, try your best to enlist Miss Hua's help. A month later, you'll hold your wedding as planned. Let's prepare for both possibilities."

Finally, the Supreme Elder made his decision.

"Yes, Grand Elder."

Wen Shirui invited Lianyi to have tea and enjoy the scenery at Cuizhu Courtyard the next day. Lianyi readily agreed because she also had something to discuss with Wen Shirui.

Last night she saw the fireworks launched from the Number One Building in the World, these were special fireworks used to contact her, to help her find a suitable opportunity to leave Wenjia Fort.

Liàn Yī didn't intend to sneak around and meet the person at Tiānmìng Lóu. If Wēn Jiā Bǎo couldn't help her complete her mission, she was prepared to do it herself. It would take some effort, but she wouldn't let the mission fail.

Just as Wen Shiru invited her for tea, she received the martial arts manual. After changing into a new dress, she went to the bamboo forest in Zizhuyuan.

"Miss Hua, this way please! Thank you again for helping me remove the cold poison yesterday."

Wen Shirui looked much more energetic after having the cold poison removed. He no longer had the pale and weak appearance he used to have.

"You're welcome, I wasn't just helping out for nothing. At least it satisfied my curiosity."

The ripples smiled and sat down.

“This is Lingcha grown by the Wen family themselves. The Grand Elder specially allocated some to me for entertaining Miss Hua.”

Wen Shiru didn't rush into the main topic, but first spoke of the origins of Lingcha tea before beginning to brew it. A flowing set of movements captivated Lianri's eyes.

After Lingcha was brewed, it was pushed to Lianyi. Lianyi first sniffed it, then took a sip. The tea water turned into a gentle spiritual power that flowed into her stomach.

"It's indeed a rare and excellent tea, I estimate that only Wengjiabao can cultivate it."

Ripple smiled and said.

"That's true, just not sure if there will be another chance to plant spirit tea in the future."

Wen Shirui sighed and said.

Ripple knew the other person was ending the preliminary groundwork and starting to get to the point.

"Young Master Wen, please speak freely if you have something to say."

"Miss Hua, although you are the number one person at the Heavenly First Floor, I know you are different from them. I don't know what your purpose is for entering Wenjia Fort, but I just want to tell you that the Heavenly First Floor won't be a good place to belong."

"I know this better than you, which is why I still chose to enter the Wen Family Fort after breaking free from the control of the World's No. 1 Building. After all, I'm just one person, and it would be difficult to deal with the World's No. 1 Building alone, so I'm looking for allies."

"Miss Hua hopes to know how Wenjiabao can help you"

It's very simple. Help me complete the task given to me by the owner of the world's number one building, and I will have the opportunity to meet him.

"What is the mission that Heaven's First Floor gave you"

"Stolen from the Wen family's secret treasure."

"You want me to give you the treasure of the Wen family"

Wen Shirui frowned and said.

"Yes, but I won't let you borrow the treasure for nothing. I can give you my ice-attribute martial arts now."

Liàn Yī smiled gently, raising her hand to shoot a ball of light into Wēn Shìruì's brow.

Wen Shirui was caught off guard and didn't have time to resist. In the end, he stood stunned on the spot. After a whole minute, he came to his senses. At this moment, a glimmer of excitement finally flashed across his face.

“This is a complete set of ice-based cultivation techniques. As long as I cultivate successfully, not only can I become a high-level cultivator, but I can also leave this world.”

"Well, this martial art is called the , it can be cultivated to the Great Accomplishment Stage, enough for you to ascend."

"Thank you, Miss Hua."

"Don't thank me just yet. Giving you the martial arts manual is simply a demonstration of my sincerity. Now it's up to your Wen family's sincerity."

The Hidden Pavilion has contacted me, asking me to find a chance to leave the Wen Manor and meet with them. They probably want to ask about my mission progress. You better give me a reply as soon as possible."

The ripples also speak the truth.

"Miss Hua is indeed quick-witted. I understand now, please wait for my news."

"Well, I hope young master Wen won't disappoint me."

Liàn Yī drank the cup of Ling Tea and returned to her residence.

Three days later, Wen Shirui accompanied Lian Yi to a hot spring town only five miles away from Wen's Manor, claiming to the outside world that he was accompanying his fiancée for a spa experience.

As Zi Lian and Wen Shi Rui left Wenjia Fort by carriage, they were being followed.

The ripples stirred the curtains on the car window, he glanced outside for a moment, then smiled and said to Wen Sirui beside him:

"Older Brother Wen, is the hot spring in Kong Town really as good as the rumors say"

"The hot springs in Kongzhen really do have miraculous effects, with the power to wash the marrow and cut through sinews. Therefore, children born in Wenjiabao will come here to stay for a year after they turn five. They soak in the hot springs to strengthen their bodies while laying the foundation for cultivation."

If that's really the case, then I might as well take a good soak. I don't need to build muscle, just want to be beautiful and youthful.

"Miss Hua's request is definitely achievable."

Wen Shirui smiled and said.

After entering the residence of Wen Jia Bao in Kong Town, Wen Shi Rui accompanied Lian Yi for lunch. Lian Yi couldn't wait to experience the hot springs afterwards.

Xia Zhi still followed Lian Yi by her side, serving her. Watching Lian Yi sink into the hot spring pool, she went to tidy up her clothes. About a stick of incense later, Xia Zhi entered with a tea tray.

"Miss, this is a special chrysanthemum tea from Kongzhen Hot Springs, it can clear heat and moisten the throat. A servant girl has brewed a pot for you, please try it."

Just leave it there! I'll have it in a while.

Ripple lay lazily by the edge of the hot spring, saying to Xiazhi who stood respectfully beside her:

Do you have anything special you need to tell me before we meet

Xia Zhi, who had originally stood respectfully, looked up upon hearing Liàn Yī's words. A strange smile appeared on his face, and his voice changed from a clear female voice to a low male voice:

"Number Six, everyone who entered the Wenjia Fort with you is dead. How do you explain that"

"What's there to explain Of course it was to complete the mission. They died with value, allowing me to successfully gain the trust of the Wen family."

"Can you guarantee the completion of the task"

Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have left Wujiapo so easily.

What stage is the task at

You should have received the wedding invitation sent by Wángjiābǎo, right

"Received."

"This is a trap set by the Wú Family Fort, designed to lure out the masters of the Heaven's First Floor."

"The host had guessed it all along, such a clumsy scheme."

The man pretending to be Li Xia said disdainfully.

"Even if it's clumsy, you'll still come crawling in, won't you"

Ripple smiled sweetly.

"What does that mean" it be difficult to absorb the Zhang familyFeng Sisi is also ambitious. She hates Zhang Yongcheng, and now that she has a chance to get revenge, she will definitely be happy about it."Alright, Mom, I...
