Chapter 410: 375 Andu 1_2

"The case has been confirmed as two high-level Feiyi Masters being turned by the enemy state, who brazenly attacked officials of the Fengnan Province Union heading to Chaoyu for external affairs."

"Fortunately, after a very short time of emergency apprehension, the two traitors have been killed."

Da Xiong gently pushed the door open and entered the hall, seeing that a few people were watching the news.

"I just received a message. The Imperial Family has sent an official invitation, inviting Brother Yi to accept the Jiu Yi ennoblement. He will become the tenth Grade Nine in the entire Earth-Moon, joining the military high command."

".....!"

"!!"

"!!?"

All three people present paused.

Military high command...

Could this be the legendary, meteoric rise to power?

The air in the hall became stagnant, a Blind Spot Individual was actually being invited to join the military high command...!

If it had been before today, they would have definitely thought Da Xiong was joking.

But as she took out a narrow, dark-golden invitation from her chest, everyone understood, it must be the Imperial invitation.

"The Jiu Yi are already full, but the military is still weaker by more than just a notch, this is a matter of balance, so... it all depends on Brother Yi now," Rainbow Candy said.

Even she herself didn’t realize that her voice was trembling.

She was born in the Yan Family and thus knew very well what it meant for a Grade Nine to join the military high command.

If nothing unexpected occurred, they would witness the rise of a new great noble family.

The Yan Family had spent the efforts and accumulations of several generations, seizing every encountered opportunity, to ascend step by step to the high echelons, luckily outlasting a host of competitors to stand at the position of a great noble in the Empire.

And now...

Brother Yi alone, had this foundation.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Don’t get carried away, eh, our real enemy is the Blind Spot, the power of reality can’t touch the Blind Spot," Da Xiong said, raising an eyebrow.

"Even so... we, from now on, will truly be different..." Rainbow Candy took a deep breath.

Once they became part of the military high command, the resources, the information they could obtain, would be worlds apart from before.

This group of forsaken, from this day forth... would no longer be considered disposable...

Father...

A flash of pain and longing crossed Rainbow Candy’s eyes.

Andu Yan Family Ancestral Home.

Layers upon layers of ancestral tablets were neatly arranged in the center of the Ancestral Hall, with wisps of blue smoke rising from the incense burner.

Yan Peng stood quietly in front of the incense burner, his face tense, staring at the names on the spirit tablets of his ancestors.

Click.

The dark doors of the dimly lit Ancestral Hall were slowly pulled open from outside.

A glamorous woman dressed in elaborate finery slowly lifted her skirts as she entered the room.

Her gorgeous gown complemented her vibrant demeanor, much like a peacock with the wrong kind of feathers.

"Why didn’t you go to see Xing Jie today? His Grade Seven Feiyi evaluation is coming up soon, and the resources he needs have doubled recently." The woman said discontentedly, looking at Yan Peng in front of the incense burner.

"I don’t have time." Yan Peng turned around. "Doesn’t Xing Jie have you watching over him?"

"He’s your son too. I can understand you going around pleading with several Elders lately, but you should be clear that these favors, these connections, they should all have been Xing Jie’s. Yan Xincai has separated from the family, she shouldn’t and can’t continue to take advantage of Xing Jie’s benefits." The woman frowned.

"I’m her dad!" Yan Peng’s voice rose. "I don’t want to watch her struggling alone in the Blind Spot! I want her to live well, just like the other kids, to go to school normally, work normally, marry and have children normally! To live like a normal person! Can’t she!? Can’t she!!?"

His emotions flared up suddenly.

"Every time her name comes up, you get this agitated! You think I don’t care for her!?" The woman raised her voice sharply. "But what can I do!? If we don’t fight for it, our lineage will decline sooner or later. By squandering relationships and resources everywhere, if by chance Xing Jie also fails to reach a sufficient stature, our lineage’s decline, what good will it do for Yan Xincai!?"

"If Yan Xincai were sensible and could understand the difficulties we face as parents, she should not drag us down, not drag Xing Jie down! That is the least of the filial piety she owes as a daughter!" The woman said harshly.

Slap!!

Yan Peng raised his hand and fiercely slapped the woman across the cheek.

"Yan Youying!!"

"How dare you hit me!?" The woman, incredulous, covered her face, her eyes sparking with red arcs of electricity.

"For a Yan Xincai with no future... you actually... dare to hit me!?"

"Say one more word, and I won’t just hit you, I’ll dare to kill you!" Yan Peng’s voice was ice cold and furious.

As a core member of the main family, with the Yan family’s internal cold and ruthless structure, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to kill Yan Youying, who came from a distant branch.

"And another thing, why should Xin Chai owe you filial piety!? It’s been me looking after her since she was young, me keeping her company, me teaching her! What have you given her to deserve her filial piety?"

"You!!?" Yan Youying wanted to say something else.

But the doors of the ancestral hall were suddenly pushed open, and an old man in Daoist robes, with white hair, strode in quickly.

"Peng’er, get ready, the Family Head is dispatching you to lead a team to Fengnan Province."

"Father!?" Yan Peng and Yan Youying hurriedly composed themselves and bowed respectfully.

The old man was Yan Peng’s father, Yan Wenhan.

"Why suddenly go to Fengnan Province?" Both were somewhat confused; the family had no particular arrangements or businesses there, and with the Grade Seven assessments of the family about to start, sending them to Fengnan Province at this time...

"Li Chengyi, the high-level team leader from Mingyuan Group, breached into Chaoyu solo fifteen minutes ago, killed Zhao Lingzhi and Zhao Yanzhen from Wanshi Commerce Group, and retreated fully intact after a confrontation with Lord Heifeng.

"The Emperor has just officially confirmed it, appointing Destiny Li Chengyi as the Empire’s tenth Grade Nine Great General. Now all we’re waiting for is for Destiny to accept the decree, and then he will head to Andu to receive his general’s insignia."

At this, he looked at the dumbfounded couple, Yan Peng and his wife.

"The gap between Grade Eight and Grade Nine is as wide as a chasm, yet unexpectedly... in just a few short months... that Destiny... really... it’s like the world is toying with us..."

He paused.

"Luckily, in Destiny’s Garden of Fate Team, Yan Xincai, known online as Rainbow Candy, is a top expert in cybersecurity. This time Destiny’s sudden raid into Chaoyu, not notifying anyone, was her move to forcibly open Chaoyu’s Silent Fortress through a never-before-discovered vulnerability. That’s why the Zhao Family was caught off guard and failed to mobilize their full strength."

"....." Yan Peng looked baffled, knowing his daughter was a hacker expert, but that her skills were average at best—he even had his company’s security experts secretly test her, so he was aware of her level.

But now...

Xin Chai’s skills had suddenly improved, even breaching the Silent Fortress, and it was Chaoyu’s Silent Fortress!?? That was one of humanity’s strongest defenses that even White Star’s hacker collective hadn’t been able to break through.

At Xin Chai’s level? What a joke!?
