The commotion at Lanke Mountain made this New Year even more lively in the Eastern Wasteland Domain.

The main problem is that Little Li's special effects, which he does once a day, are incredibly loud and disruptive.

News of the mysterious powerful figure's legacy appearing in the world spread like wildfire.

The New Year comes every year, but the inheritance is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, it spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even powerful families and clans from other places began to gather in the Eastern Wasteland Domain.

Certainly.

If the source of the message can be traced, it will be discovered.

The news spread like wildfire, initially originating from the Xi Yangyang Hotpot Restaurant.

Xi Yangyang Hotpot Restaurant.

Several elders of the Clear Abyss Sect were sitting around a hot pot.

"The traitor left a letter saying he wouldn't return until after the New Year."

Shang Wu crossed her arms and Jiujiu placed the letter on the table.

"Very well, things haven't been peaceful in Purple Sun Prefecture lately. The number of people coming to challenge them is practically wearing down the threshold."

Elder Xue sighed.

The elders were all supposed to go home for the New Year, but now that the disturbances at Lanke Mountain are getting bigger and bigger every day, they simply can't get away.

What strange phenomenon is happening today?

"The phoenixes sing in harmony; who will inherit this legacy now?"

"Yesterday I guessed it was the successor of a powerful Buddhist master, but today it's changed again."

"I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out!"

"This is definitely a mess."

The members of Clear Abyss Sect haven't decided yet whether or not to get involved in this mess.

After all, as far as they knew, there were no fewer than five major sects that had come, all of which were no less powerful than the major sects of Cloud-Crossing Sword City.

That's not all; it's possible that hidden sects will also be among the arrivals.

Even the Demon Summoning Cult was among them!

But with these extraordinary phenomena happening every day, it was impossible not to take a look; my heart was itching with desire.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

The elders were taken aback, exchanged bewildered glances, and looked rather uneasy.

It's Elder Qian.

They ate hotpot without inviting him...

"Um, I was actually planning to call you today, but..."

"We'll talk about the hot pot later."

Elder Qian was annoyed.

"Um?"

Xue Jing and Elder Han He exchanged a glance, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Old Qian didn't even care about the hotpot incident; how was this any different from Shang Wu not caring that she wasn't invited to drink?

Something bad has probably happened again.

Elder Qian said:

"A Heaven Patrol Guard has arrived at our sect today."

Ordinary Heaven Patrol Guard are at least at the Inner Scene Realm, and are much more powerful than ordinary Inner Scene Guards.

Captain, that must be External Scene Realm shoot.

Getting noticed by the Heaven Patrol Guard rarely brings good news...

Shang Wu narrowed her eyes. "How about we find a way to make it for him..."

As she spoke, she placed her hand across her fair neck, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Just get your hair done; someone brought a message from His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Li Mo and Ying Bing, two Hidden Dragon talents, have rendered meritorious service in protecting the country. Crown Prince Jiang Yu will travel to Clear Abyss Sect after the New Year to commend these Great Yu Dynasty."

"???"

Areca palm--

A plate fell to the ground.

Jiang Chulong stood blankly at the door, as if she had lost her soul.

As the New Year approaches, heavy snow has fallen in Qinghe County.

The world was a vast expanse of white, tranquil and breathtakingly beautiful. Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, adding a touch of joy and celebration to this silver-clad landscape.

The streets were bustling with traffic, and every household was preparing for the New Year.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Dalong were sitting in their carriage, having just returned from the market with a large purchase of goods. They could certainly send someone to get them, but what's the point of celebrating the New Year if they don't do it themselves?

"Old Li, sister-in-law, did you buy so much?"

Just as they arrived at the street where the Li Mansion, a person came towards them.

"Old Tian? Xiao Mo and Bing'er are back. Things are different now, aren't they? I told them not to come to my house for New Year's greetings, to keep things simple, but all those relatives and friends insisted on coming over. Sigh, really, hahaha..."

Comrade Li appeared humble, yet his words were brimming with pride.

The middle-aged man across from me, Old Tian, and Comrade Lao Li were secretly competing with each other.

They didn't get along when they were both county officials, mainly because of their differing ideologies.

"Tsk tsk, Hidden Dragon stars, those are all figures from the Cloud Realm."

Old Tian chuckled, surprisingly not blushing, and instead began to praise him.

But after praising him, he changed the subject:

"Then when my grandchildren are a little older, I'll have to swallow my pride and come knocking on your door to beg your prodigy for guidance on meridian opening."

"?"

Li Dalong and his beloved wife exchanged a glance, then paused, stunned.

Across from them, Old Tian had already lifted the carriage curtain, and a young couple sat inside, each holding a baby, their bodies exquisitely beautiful, dressed in festive attire like the Fuwa mascots.

"Come on, call him Uncle Li. Uncle Li is generous; you'll get a red envelope if you call him uncle."

"Hmm... hehehe, Happy New Year."

Li Dalong's face stiffened, and he took out a red envelope from his pocket.

Who knew Old Tian was such a scoundrel, getting the benefit and then acting all innocent:

"Tsk tsk, one grandson is enough, but who knew she'd have twins in one lifetime? Sigh, she's going to have a lot to worry about from now on, these two little devils are going to drive her crazy."

"Hey? Your two...?"

Li Dalong remained expressionless.

"Yes, indeed. There's been quite a stir at Lanke Mountain lately. Countless people are flocking Lanke Mountain, and Qinghe County has become quite a mixed bag. We need to be extra careful about security."

"???"

Li Dalong returned to the carriage, feeling extremely annoyed by Old Tian's arrogant attitude.

He looked at his wife, only to find her gazing out of the carriage, lost in thought at the sight of the family enjoying a peaceful time together as they entered their home.

The couple looked at each other, their expressions somewhat complicated...

They initially thought it was nothing, having been on high alert just a while ago, but this boasting from others made them realize the gravity of the situation.

Both of them wanted to have a grandson.

But Xiao Mo and Little Bing are at a crucial time, and they can't bring themselves to ask them to give up on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and just stay home...

"It's the child's own business, let's not worry too much about it, lest they find us annoying."

Li Dalong sighed softly and shook his head.

"Well, we should let things take their natural course, but could we... give it a little push?"

Gu Xueqin couldn't help but say.

"Getting married doesn't necessarily mean you'll have children right away..."

The couple returned to their residence but did not see the two little ones who had caused them such complicated feelings, so they asked the maid:

"Where are Xiao Mo and Bing'er?"

"They said they were going out for a stroll."

On the other side.

Qinghe County Main Street.

On the snow-covered streets, large snowflakes fell softly, but they couldn't drown out the bustling noise of people. The festive atmosphere of the New Year spread from this lively market to every household in Qinghe County.

Little Li was completely unaware of what his parents were about to do.

He rubbed his small hands together and turned his head to look.

Ying Bing wore a newly made red dress, her black hair turned snow-white, and her thick eyelashes could not hide the seriousness in her eyes.

What kind of birthday gift should I prepare for him?

She has never given anyone a birthday present.
