The question posed by the Great Qian Emperor filled Lin Wencheng with deep surprise, as he couldn't understand why the Emperor would inquire about such matters.
"Your Majesty, Rongcheng has developed very rapidly over the past decade and is now a top-tier city. By the way, the Lin's Pharmaceutical you mentioned is run by my son."
Lin Wencheng replied, his expression somewhat embarrassed, and he felt a strange sensation.
This Great Qian Emperor seemed very familiar with Rongcheng, even knowing some details about Lin's Pharmaceutical, a leading enterprise there.
This made his gaze peculiar, and he wondered if the Great Qian Emperor might be Chinese.
Otherwise, how could he be so knowledgeable? It was as if he had actually lived in Rongcheng.
But Lin Wencheng knew this was impossible, as the Great Qian Emperor had been in the Great Wilderness for over a hundred years. And over a hundred years ago, Rongcheng was still a mountainous rural area.
"Your son runs it?" Xu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. This inquiry had led him directly to the person in question.
He had originally intended to inquire about his brother Qin Cheng, who he remembered worked at Lin's Pharmaceutical. He just wasn't sure if he still did.
"Yes," Lin Wencheng replied, bowing slightly with a respectful expression.
Xu Mo nodded, realizing it was indeed a coincidence.
He stopped inquiring about Lin's Pharmaceutical and instead turned to ask about the current situation on Earth.
After gathering enough information, Xu Mo left directly.
He had learned what he needed to know, and the situation on Earth hadn't changed much since before he transmigrated.
However, his homeland had developed rapidly, with its economy surpassing that of the United States. This news brought Xu Mo great comfort.
As for his good brother Qin Cheng, he hadn't found any information. He would have to return to his hometown in China himself to understand the specific situation.
Watching the Great Qian Emperor depart, Lin Wencheng let out a huge sigh of relief.
Although the conversation seemed relaxed and the Great Qian Emperor's tone was gentle and friendly, the invisible imperial pressure and the aura of a cultivator made him feel somewhat breathless.
"Grandpa, I can cultivate now, I'm going to be an immortal!" Lin Zihao, who had been excited for a while, now ran to show off to his grandfather.
Lin Wencheng's expression was complex, but he was also happy for his grandson.
Compared to studying, cultivation clearly had a brighter future.
If he missed out on studying, he could always catch up later, but if he missed out on cultivation, then he truly would have missed out.
However, when he thought about how this cultivation technique was obtained by his grandson selling his sister, Lin Wencheng's expression darkened. He reprimanded, "Zihao! Do you know what you've done? How dare you casually promise to marry off your sister? That's your sister! Can you live with yourself?"
Speaking of this, he felt a surge of anger.
Being young and ignorant couldn't be an excuse; actions must have consequences!
Lin Zihao pouted and mumbled, "Aren't I finding a partner for my sister? She's not young anymore, it's time for her to find a boyfriend. Sister is so beautiful and has such good temperament, ordinary people definitely won't be worthy. The Great Qian Emperor is handsome, has a better temperament than my sister, and is a cultivator emperor. It's most suitable for my sister to marry him!"
"Lin Zihao!!!" Then I really have to thank you!" Lin Xue appeared behind him, gritting her teeth, and said word by word.
At the same time, one hand moved with extreme speed towards Lin Zihao, grabbing his neck, while the other hand unceremoniously struck him.
"Ah!" Lin Zihao cried out and quickly begged his sister for mercy.
But Lin Xue was furious and paid no attention to Lin Zihao's pleas. Seeing this, Lin Zihao could only turn to Alice for help.
"Sister Alice, quickly hold my sister back, she's gone crazy!" Lin Zihao shouted.
Alice snorted, her gaze unfriendly. "You sold me too, and now you want me to stop your sister? Do you think that's possible?"
She directly crossed her arms and watched the show.
Lin Wencheng, seeing his granddaughter hitting his grandson so hard, initially wanted to intervene. But considering how excessive Lin Zihao's actions were this time, he stopped himself, thinking it was good for Lin Xue to teach Lin Zihao a lesson.
Lin Xue disciplined him for over ten minutes before her anger subsided and she stopped.
Lin Zihao's backside was already bruised and battered, and he didn't even dare to sit, fearing it would cause pain.
"See if you dare to speak carelessly again?" Lin Xue warned again with a dangerous look.
Lin Zihao quickly promised, "I won't dare. I absolutely won't dare again in the future."
He muttered to himself, "This violent sister really can't be kept. Fortunately, she's already been promised to the Great Qian Emperor. I hope His Majesty can take my sister away soon."
He prayed silently.
Everyone who watched this scene smiled, and they all had a good impression of Lin Zihao.
Because if it weren't for him initiating this, they might not have secured a spot to enter the Great Qian Academy.
"By the way, this kid said he would give both sisters to the Great Qian Emperor. I saw that the Emperor didn't seem to refuse. Does that mean both of them will marry the Emperor and become concubines?"
Someone suddenly spoke this sentence, causing a stir of discussion.
"Impossible. Isn't the Great Qian Emperor currently selecting consorts? It's said that all those eligible to participate in the selection are cultivators, so why would he fancy us mortals?"
The curly-haired man shook his head decisively. Although Lin Xue and Alice were extremely beautiful, with top-notch figures and temperaments, they were still not qualified to be concubines of the Great Qian Emperor.
"That's right, there's a difference between immortals and mortals. How can mortals compare to cultivators? No matter how good their looks, figure, and temperament are, or how beautiful they are, they are still mortals without a touch of immortal aura?"
"If, if they really became consorts of the Great Qian Emperor, it would be like a phoenix rising to the occasion, an immortal phoenix!"
"As you said, that's a hypothetical. In reality, it's impossible. Besides, Miss Alice and Miss Lin Xue might not even be willing. That's two women sharing one husband. No, there are many other嫔妃. Ordinary Earthlings probably couldn't accept this."
"How could they not accept it? The Great Qian Emperor is so handsome and has such a good figure. Even without a title, I would be willing."
A group of people discussed, finding this topic quite interesting. However, no one knew whether the Great Qian Emperor would truly take Alice and Lin Xue into his palace as Lin Zihao had said.
Of course, most people thought it was impossible.
Alice and Lin Xue naturally heard these discussions, and their expressions became somewhat unnatural, their faces flushing.
However, when they heard that the Great Qian Emperor might not fancy them, a hint of dimness flickered in both their eyes.
At this moment, several cultivators in armor descended from the sky into the mansion, carrying a large box filled with Wudao stones.
Among them, a female cultivator in armor scanned the crowd and finally looked at Alice and Lin Xue, saying, "Two young ladies, Lord Gongsun requests your presence!"
