As the message was conveyed,
Tantai Lan didn't wait long before the communication jade flickered with light again.
He didn't dare to delay and immediately received the information.
"You certainly can't handle this matter alone. Take my communication jade and return to the Family. Explain the situation to the Family head and have him mobilize the Family's power to assist you with this matter."
"If the matter is handled well, neither I nor the Family will be stingy with benefits for you."
"But if you mess it up, you know the consequences."
After receiving all the information, Tantai Lan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
There was shock and fear, as well as joy and burgeoning greed.
The shock stemmed from the fact that the Net Lotus Ancestor, whose status in the entire Family was transcendent, actually designated him to lead and handle this matter, instead of directly handing it over to the Family.
The fear came from the thought of the punishment that might follow if the matter wasn't handled well...
Even without Tantai Jinglian taking action, if the Family knew he had messed things up,
His biological father, who had recently been promoted to an Elder in the clan, would probably be the first to not spare him!
As for the joy, it was due to the abundant rewards he would receive if the matter was handled successfully.
Although Tantai Jinglian was ruthless in her methods and showed no mercy even to her own clan members,
Her generosity, however, was extremely lavish.
She was someone who made the Tantai clan members both happy and fearful!
Moreover, if the matter was handled well, the Family would also give generous rewards.
Not to mention, the last part of Chu Ge's instructions when arranging the matter,
Undoubtedly revealed that this Senior Brother Chu, whom even the Net Lotus Ancestor highly regarded, also had the intention of bestowing rewards.
It was like handling one matter and gaining benefits from three parties, which made Tantai Lan feel a significant surge of greed for a moment.
This was undoubtedly his chance to soar!
As long as the matter was handled well, his Family status would skyrocket, and he could truly connect with Chu Ge, ensuring a bright future!
"This must be done well! No one can block my future!"
Having been a marginalized figure in the Family's core circle for over ten years, even his own father didn't pay much attention to him, so Tantai Lan also felt unwilling!
It was fine when there was no opportunity before, but this time, the opportunity was right in front of him, and he had to seize it no matter what!
Here, Tantai Lan's heart was burning.
On the other side, after Tantai Jinglian conveyed the message, she put away the communication jade and fell into deep thought.
'Su Mo… could it be that Shizhi has learned about a Child of Destiny from somewhere again?'
She thought so, becoming increasingly certain of her guess.
What could make her Shizhi so attentive was undoubtedly the group of Children of Destiny.
After all, the greatest aid he possessed, the thing called 'System,' required Children of Destiny as nourishment to constantly upgrade.
And the System's upgrade was closely related to Chu Ge's strengthening speed.
At the same time, it was also related to the benefits that they, the owners of the Diary Copy, could obtain.
Interlocking, Chu Ge's interests became their interests!
"How formidable, to have unknowingly drawn everyone in…"
Tantai Jinglian chuckled softly.
She had actually faintly noticed this before, but she didn't resist; instead, she was happy about it.
Having received great benefits, she naturally had to do something for the main host; otherwise, she might not feel at ease holding these benefits.
If previously, Tantai Jinglian only thought of conveniently providing some assistance to Chu Ge,
Then now, she was not stingy with actively exerting some effort for Chu Ge.
"This won't do. I can't be the only one putting in effort…"
Murmuring softly, Tantai Jinglian clicked into the group chat.
Everyone received benefits, so she couldn't be the only one doing the work.
Even in this current group chat, there were quite a few people who could provide assistance.
[Chu Ge Harem Group - Taihuang Holy Land Branch]
［Su Ling'er: So slow, why hasn't it reached settlement time yet? I have a feeling I'll get the highest-tier reward today, sigh.］
［Lu Fuyao: Shijie, don't complain. Tingni and I haven't even seen a shadow of the highest-tier reward yet, although the daily rewards are quite useful to us...］
［Lu Tingni: Exactly, exactly. For some reason, Shijie and Shibo, you three unlocked the highest-tier reward the very first time you received a reward. But for us, we can't even see a hint of it, it's so frustrating!］
［Lu Tingni: Yet Senior Brother Chu's favorability towards us now is about the same as it was for you back then, and Master's is even higher...］
［Shui Qianrou: I suppose it's due to the Diary distribution rounds. Shijie and Ling'er, the three of them, were the first batch of Diary Copy owners, while we are the second batch.］
［Shui Qianrou: I suppose this is the reason. It's just unknown whether there are any other first-batch Diary Copy owners besides Shijie and the three of them.］
They had discussed the Diary Copy matter extensively in the group during this period.
Upon learning that Su Ling'er and the others had all unlocked the highest-tier reward immediately, they were very shocked.
Because they were completely different; although their first reward wasn't bad, it certainly didn't qualify as 'highest-tier.'
Moreover, according to Tantai Jinglian, it seemed that this highest-tier reward was also the most suitable for oneself and unique.
And their Master and disciples, including Tantai Xuanyin and Zhao Qinghui who were not currently in Taihuang, received ordinary rewards that were not unique.
Ultimately, they could only attribute it to the order of Diary Copy distribution.
After all, compared to Su Ling'er and the two others, they were indeed later, so the first batch must have some special characteristics.
It was just that Shui Qianrou and the others didn't understand the modern terminology from Chu Ge's world before his Rebirth.
Otherwise, they would surely have complained a few times that Su Ling'er and the others were 'internal test players.'
［Tantai Jinglian: Everyone, stop. I have something to say.］
At this moment, Tantai Jinglian spoke up.
Seeing this message, everyone in the group chat stopped sending messages.
Although Tantai Jinglian often said inappropriate things on weekdays,
And even when chatting casually, she would use suggestive words to tease everyone, often making a few young girls blush.
But whenever it was serious business, she was always serious and earnest.
Therefore, upon seeing her message, everyone tacitly stopped their mutual teasing and waited for her next words.
［Shui Qianrou: Shijie, what is it? Please say.］
Everyone also waited for Tantai Jinglian's next words.
［Tantai Jinglian: Shizhi needs to investigate some matters. I thought that the forces behind some of you should be able to help.］
［Tantai Jinglian: I suspect it might be related to a Child of Destiny. We'll see if Shizhi's diary mentions this later.］
［Tantai Jinglian: You should all understand by now that this Child of Destiny is not only closely related to the 'System' on Shizhi but also to the Diary Copy on us. I won't elaborate too much on its importance.］
［Shui Qianrou: Shijie is right. If it's confirmed to be truly related to a Child of Destiny, then everyone indeed needs to take it seriously.］
［Shui Qianrou: If there's any need, my Family and I will certainly do our utmost.］
Upon seeing what Tantai Jinglian said, Shui Qianrou was the first to step forward and express her stance.
