"Come on... let's go out and have a look!"
He Pingsheng rose from the steps again and strolled outside with Old Cao. "It's been ages since I had tea. Come on... let's get a cup at your nephew's place!"
"You know, his tea really does have a different flavor!"
Whoosh...
As he spoke, He Pingsheng flew into the sky.
Old Cao flew up after him.
Looking down from the air, they saw the entire Lineage enveloped in the luminous membrane of an enormous formation.
"Oh..." He Pingsheng was somewhat astonished. "Is that... a third-grade Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation?"
"Yes!" Old Cao said with a chuckle. "Defense is a Lineage's top priority. After discussing it with Madam Su, I bought a Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation!"
"We finished setting it up with Senior Lian's help!"
"I also renovated the buildings, roads, the ladies' great halls, and everything else in the Lineage, one by one!"
He Pingsheng couldn't help nodding. "Not bad, Old Cao... you really do know how to manage things!"
No wonder only four billion remained of the money they had earned over the years. It had all been spent on useful things.
As they spoke, the two landed outside the entrance to Old Diao's outer hall.
At that moment, Old Diao was standing at the entrance, reprimanding several Lineage disciples.
Seeing He Pingsheng approach, he immediately put on a fawning smile. "Young Master, you're here..."
"All right, you lot, get lost!"
"Don't let it happen again!"
The four or five disciples scurried away like rats with their heads covered.
He Pingsheng asked, "What's going on here?"
Old Diao said, "Our He Family has a strict rule: all disciples must report before going out and obtain an exit Token. These fellows were sneaking around, trying to slip out, and I caught them red-handed!"
