At the entrance of the Moses Estate, more than a dozen people stood.
There were men and women, old and young.
They were there, waiting to welcome Li Qianfan, who had come to visit the Moses family.
Rubinson, the estate's butler, saw the luxurious car belonging to Salaye and, recalling his sudden demise, couldn't help but grit his teeth in secret.
Yet, he dared not show even a hint of hostility on his face!
Why did Li Qianfan dare to indiscriminately kill important family members in the very heart of the Moses family's stronghold?
One.
He had sufficient reason to do so.
After all, he had been captured by the War God Hall this time, and the Moses family, acting as an intermediary behind the scenes, could be considered the "original sin."
Crucially, the Moses family, who had been watching the conflict from the sidelines, had profited greatly from the Blackwater Forest incident.
Two.
Li Qianfan was the future Young Dragon Lord of the Dragon Ruins.
Rubinson was certain that when Li Qianfan quietly arrived in Ancient Hebrew, the assassins skilled in assassination from the Dragon Ruins would already be prepared for an imminent war!
Once the war began, those assassins would carry out indiscriminate mass killings of the core members of the Moses family!
Let's not forget, the Dragon Ruins had been enduring throughout this incident.
Given Li Xiao's temperament, which could flare up at any moment, it was already remarkable that he had consistently followed the rules and refrained from taking action.
Rubinson also remembered that not long ago, the Dragon Ruins' war machine had indeed been activated.
Fortunately, Jessica paid an urgent visit to the Dragon Ruins and, after paying a certain price, managed to get the Dragon Ruins to hit the pause button on their war chariot.
If now—
The Moses family were to make a move against Li Qianfan due to Salaye's death?
Even a fool could guess that the consequences would be dire!
Even Alexander had "ignored" Salaye's death, so why would Rubinson not?
The saying "better my friend dies than I" is universally understood.
Rubinson immediately plastered a smile full of deference on his face after Li Qianfan alighted from the car.
Even though Li Qianfan was the future Young Lord of the Dragon Ruins, he was ultimately Alexander's nephew.
Therefore, when he formally visited the Moses family, Alexander, the patriarch, would not stand at the entrance to personally welcome him.
Instead, he would dispatch weighty figures to await the arrival of the Young Dragon Lord.
Besides the head butler, Rubinson, and a full nine elders, there was also a mother and son.
As Li Qianfan got out of the car, his eyes immediately fell upon the woman who was being surrounded.
The woman, dressed in a black robe (the Moses family only changed into black robes when distinguished guests arrived), appeared to be at most thirty-four or thirty-five years old.
She was as beautiful as a flower, with fair and supple skin, a voluptuous figure, and an aura of intense allure.
Lin Yun'er.
This woman, who seemed to bloom like a flower, was Lin Yun'er, who was now over 60 years old.
Twenty years ago, the Moses family had taken a large piece of flesh from Ji Ya's hip specifically for research into 209.
After years of diligent research, the Moses family had made significant breakthroughs in this area, results they would not easily part with.
The Moses family's significant research achievement was embodied in Lin Yun'er.
Otherwise, like Ji Ya, she would have long since turned to dust 19 years ago, after reaching the peak of human beauty.
She was still alive.
Furthermore, her figure, appearance, and even every cell were frozen at around 35 years old!
A young man, about twenty years old, stood to Lin Yun'er's left.
He was a mixed-race youth.
He inherited the unique inner beauty of Lin Yun'er and the characteristic Western ruggedness of the Moses family.
He was Alexander's only grandson, the future heir to the Moses family, Moses the Third.
If both he and Li Qianfan were to inherit successfully in the future, they would inevitably become lifelong "brothers," much like Li Xiao and Alexander.
Li Qianfan's gaze swept across Moses the Third's face, and he quickly walked up to Lin Yun'er.
He placed his right hand over his chest, bowed deeply: "Dragon Ruins' Li Qianfan, greets Aunt Yun'er."
Given Lin Yun'er's actual age, she was old enough to be Li Qianfan's grandmother.
Yet, he still respectfully called her aunt.
This was because Li Qianfan's father and Lin Yun'er's husband were brothers.
Satisfaction flickered in Lin Yun'er's eyes, and she nodded calmly: "Mr. Qianfan, good afternoon."
After Li Qianfan straightened up and looked up.
Lin Yun'er then gracefully stepped back, placed her hands on her shoulders, and, with her son, bowed in return to Li Qianfan: "Mr. Qianfan, welcome to Moses Estate."
As the mother and son exchanged greetings, Rubinson and the nine elders also bowed to Li Qianfan.
This time, Li Qianfan merely nodded slightly.
Zhai Xing, who had accompanied him, bowed deeply on his behalf, as if returning the greeting once more.
After the exchange of greetings,
As Lin Yun'er's gaze swept over Li Qianfan's face, she made no attempt to hide her "lust," and smiled: "Mr. Qianfan, please."
As long as she felt a man—
Regardless of his age or profession, as long as there was mutual consent, they could live together.
Alexander would not interfere.
This was because, for Lin Yun'er to maintain her beauty and life, she needed to share a bed with a man for at least twenty days a month.
At most, to avoid causing any disruption, Lin Yun'er could not live in the Moses Estate.
After all, she was Alexander's lawfully wedded wife.
My brother Shan needed to consider his own reputation.
Upon seeing Li Qianfan, who appeared more mature than his actual age, Lin Yun'er's heart immediately fluttered, which was entirely normal.
The key was—
The primal male 209 held an innate attraction for women who relied on female 209 to maintain their beauty and lives!
An attraction that was irresistible!
The only thing that could resist the primal male 209 was the female primal 209 that Sister Wuji herself carried.
The distance from the estate entrance to the main hall entrance was about three hundred meters.
For Lin Yun'er, these three hundred meters were like a grueling spiritual journey.
She secretly bit her tongue seven times before she barely managed to control her urge to kneel at Li Qianfan's feet and beg with trembling, electric pleas.
Her face turned a frightening shade of red.
However, Li Qianfan did not look at her again, walking alongside Moses the Third and chatting in low voices.
It was Zhai Xing who, from the corner of her eye, observed Lin Yun'er a few times.
She mused, "Is Madam Alexander having a fever? Her gait is awkward, as if she could fall at any moment."
At the entrance to the main hall.
Alexander, who had also changed into a black robe, waited until Li Qianfan quickly passed Moses the Third and walked towards him before smiling and stepping down a single step.
"Uncle."
This time, when Li Qianfan greeted Alexander, he did not place his right hand over his chest but performed the standard "Moses salute," which involved crossing his hands on his shoulders and bowing nearly ninety degrees: "Qianfan presumes to visit, and has greatly disturbed you. I beg your forgiveness."
He did not address Alexander as "Sir" or "Esteemed Patriarch."
Instead, he used "Uncle," a term that could instantly create a "nephew-uncle" relationship.
This was what he should and must do.
And it was also what Li Xiao had repeatedly instructed him to do.
Turning to Alexander,
Yesterday, in front of Luo Luode, he had ferociously cursed Li Qianfan, calling him a little beast.
Now, his face was filled with a genuinely paternal smile: "Qianfan, I held you a few times when you were little. I never expected that in the blink of an eye, you would have grown into a young man. Heh, to borrow an old saying from your country, the waves behind a great river push on those before, and each generation is stronger than the last."
After Li Qianfan looked up, Alexander personally took his arm and walked up the steps: "If time permits, stay with your uncle for a few more days. Heh, I'll have your Aunt Yun'er personally act as your guide to tour the nearby scenic spots."
Lin Yun'er's eyes immediately lit up.
But when she heard Li Qianfan politely decline, the light in her eyes dimmed considerably.
Both were "wearing green"—
But Alexander was far more suave than Lu Luo De.
And Jessica, in terms of her straightforwardness, was no match for Lin Yun'er.
The main hall of the Moses Estate was not a place where just anyone could enter.
Even the head butler, Rubinson, and the nine elders had to stop at the doorway.
Let alone the young girl Zhai Xing.
The main hall was very spacious, about 150 square meters.
However, besides a few floor cushions, there was nothing else.
There wasn't even any coffee or tea.
On the wall directly facing the entrance hung a painting made of an unknown material.
The canvas was yellowed and even slightly damaged, clearly bearing the marks of age.
The painting depicted the classic scene of Moses, the ancestor of the Moses family, leading 400,000 of his kin to escape from the Kingdom of Gold Towers.
The living room was vast.
The layout was simple.
Yet, it possessed a tranquility that made anyone who entered the main hall feel as if their soul had been cleansed.
In the living room, there were three other people.
Two men and one woman.
The woman, who had also changed into a black robe, was Jessica.
One of the men, with a refined and handsome appearance, was the patriarch of the Rhode family.
The other man—
Upon seeing this elder, who was over eighty years old and dressed in a red robe, Li Qianfan visibly froze.
He then quickly stepped forward and bowed.
The Great Lamp God!
This elder was none other than the Chief Lamp God of the Roman Imperial Palace, one of the four major powers in the world.
More than 20 years ago, he was still the Third Lamp God of the Imperial Palace.
He was a short-lived individual who should have been eliminated by Li Qianfan's father, Li Xiao.
However, the Third Lamp God was remarkably wise and decisive. On the very night Li Xiao and Li Wuji went to assassinate him, he became sworn brothers with Li Xiao.
It was precisely his wisdom and decisiveness that, with Li Xiao's covert support, allowed him to gradually "outlive" the Second and Chief Lamp Gods ranked before him; and 20 years ago, he officially became the Chief Lamp God of the Imperial Palace.
Li Qianfan had truly not expected that Alexander, having foreseen his visit, would invite the Great Lamp God to the Moses Estate overnight!
This was sufficient proof of how much Alexander valued Li Qianfan's current visit.
"Qianfan, my dear boy, how many years has it been since you visited me at the Imperial Palace? I thought you had forgotten your old uncle, hehe."
The Great Lamp God's address to Li Qianfan—
Caused Lu Luo De and Jessica to change their expressions instantly!
