Chapter 366: Chapter 362: Tea Tasting

Xiao Zheng found it foolish that they were dragging the family into peril and even initiating a bloodline sharing system when there were clearly better methods. He could not believe that the Elder Council would pass such a

“Why make it so complicated?” Xiao Jinlin said, his tiger-like eyes filled with amusement. “Would the elders please come forth?”
