Cai Jinqu's impulsiveness was not something he controlled; it depended on the owner of the wedge embedded in him—the Fierce God.
The Fierce God also lacked the authority to initiate anything; it was all up to the one who came to this place.
The full moon night, the night with the heaviest Yin energy, would be the node for the plan's execution.
Although Liu Sandao was deeply worried about Cai Jinqu's condition, he was helpless; he had no way to remove the wedge from Cai Jinqu.
This was also why the one who came here had things figured out.
Ten-Faced Rakshasa had once said that this kind of wedge could never be truly removed unless they could destroy the Taming Plate of the Asura Field.
As a cultivator, Liu Sandao naturally knew what the full moon night signified.
Every full moon night was the day with the heaviest Yin energy in a month, and within a year, the fifteenth of August had the most Yin energy. Sudanshuwang.
It was coincidental that this fifteenth was the fifteenth of August.
He had a bad premonition: the one who came would definitely choose this night to seize the Fortune Root again.
With only two or three days to prepare, he had to inform Bai Suxiang.
"Hey! Did you hear? Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday! How do you plan to spend it?"
A Li excitedly said to Bai Suxiang.
"Just resting at home, what else?"
"You're not going home?"
A Li asked.
Go home? She wanted to go home too. After all, she had been out for so long; it was time to visit her parents.
When she spoke to her family a couple of days ago, her parents had been eagerly anticipating her return for the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the common practice of all companies in Changyu City, she should have had time to go back.
Although Changyu City was about 600 kilometers from Sandong City, a long journey, she could still make it back using magic. It had been a while since she last used the Sky Soaring spell; she wondered if she had become rusty. This would be a good opportunity to practice.
Bai Suxiang had gone to find Liu Sandao with full anticipation, only to hear him say, "No! That person might make a move on the fifteenth!"
It was such a coincidence, and Bai Suxiang had no choice but to inform her parents about her work situation over the phone.
Her parents expressed their understanding, but she could tell they were unhappy.
As their only daughter, Bai Suxiang felt a sense of powerlessness. Being a thousand miles away, she couldn't fulfill her parents' expectations.
However, compared to matters of life and death, these were truly insignificant.
As usual, Wuma Group announced the holiday schedule in advance. Cai Rong instructed Zuo Ruxiu to arrange the Mid-Autumn banquet, planning to spend the festival with his family and have a reunion dinner, which also served as officially giving her a title.
Zuo Ruxiu was naturally willing; officially entering the Cai mansion was something she had long desired.
Even with Cai Jinqu, that jinx, surely she could withstand such minor setbacks when truly entering this wealthy family?
Zuo Ruxiu had long since gotten over her internal struggles and prepared herself for all the entanglements of a wealthy family, including how to contend for assets and secure her position.
The reason Cai Rong was so confident there would be no opposition was the effort put in these past few days and the performances of Cai Jinqu and Cai Jinfa.
One continued to live a peaceful life as always, while the other had become considerably quieter.
On the other hand, the feng shui formation, for which 5 million yuan was spent, was beginning to take shape.
He hoped that in the days to come, wealth would pour in, and they would reach a new level.
That was what Cai Rong thought. He didn't expect Cai Jinqu to readily agree to come home for a meal when he called him.
Zuo Ruxiu had long ago arranged for people to prepare the Mid-Autumn banquet. To get everything ready, she even brought her work home.
Therefore, Bai Suxiang had to shuttle between the company and the Cai mansion.
Originally, it was just a few people in the family, excluding Cai Rong's children and their partners. However, Zuo Ruxiu still made grand arrangements.
In her opinion, if they didn't spend money now, when would they?
For Cai Rong, this was Zuo Ruxiu's first grand appearance in front of his family. If she gained face, he would gain face, and she could then solidify her position as the mistress of the house, making it easier to hand over family affairs to her later.
Cai Jinqu had lost all his temper these past few days, seemingly accepting this unavoidable reality.
Cai Rong believed that after the previous argument, Cai Jinqu should have backed down.
He had warned him, "If you cause trouble again, I'll cut off your financial support." This threat had brought many days of peace.
Bai Suxiang was invited by Zuo Ruxiu to work and help at the mansion, and Liu Sandao entered the Cai mansion through Bai Suxiang to assist.
This seemed unobjectionable, as the house needed manpower for preparations, and no matter how many people were arranged, it always felt insufficient.
Zuo Ruxiu's entire focus was on successfully hosting this Mid-Autumn reunion dinner, so she didn't pay much attention to which servants were working.
The one who came had already sent his soul spirits to scout the situation. Liu Sandao and Bai Suxiang's presence was within his expectations, but he had already devised countermeasures.
To deal with the one who came, Liu Sandao dared not relax in the slightest.
By seven or eight in the evening, all those who were supposed to be there had arrived, including Cai Jinqu, Cai Jinfa, and his woman.
Since everyone had been busy all afternoon and only finished before the evening meal, Zuo Ruxiu arranged for them to dine in the side hall.
As Bai Suxiang waited for the meal in the side hall, she noticed Liu Sandao was absent, which made her feel uneasy.
Fearing a repeat of the previous incident, she also found an opportunity to slip out of the side hall.
Liu Sandao appeared in a corner of the garden, directly facing the window of the main hall.
He could see everyone.
Not through his eyes, but through his divine sense.
After Cai Rong finished speaking, the floor was given to Zuo Ruxiu. Zuo Ruxiu stood up, looked at everyone, and happily spoke auspicious words.
The people at the table seemed very happy, their expressions relaxed.
Cai Jinqu was like a different person, without any airs, even becoming very peaceful.
Perhaps the long period of silence had changed his disposition.
He just ate the dishes in front of him, saying nothing.
As far as Zuo Ruxiu was concerned, as long as he didn't disrupt the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere today, she didn't dare to force him to speak.
Cai Rong was also apprehensive, but seeing Cai Jinqu only focused on eating, he let him be.
As long as he didn't cause trouble, after today, Zuo Ruxiu's status would be confirmed.
Cai Jinfa and his woman were very active, ensuring the entire banquet was lively and not dull.
Cai Rong's daughter showed no discernible expression, eating demurely and occasionally joining the conversation.
Liu Sandao couldn't see the point of eating like this, but it was their private affair, and he didn't need to concern himself with whether they were happy or not.
The one who came arrived, and a cold wind swept through.
Already ten miles away, Liu Sandao's pores were filled with alertness, a tension of an imminent battle.
No one knew how the one who came planned to attack or whom he would strike first.
This scene was like watching a nature documentary: crocodiles lurked in the great river, while a large herd of antelopes, wildebeest, and others waited on the bank to cross.
