SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

Xu Qianghua ended his cultivation practice and came out of his room to find that only he and the maids had come out; the rest of them were still in their rooms.

They cultivated in their rooms because special formations absorbed the Spiritual Qi in the air and concentrated it there.

As he entered the living room, the maids were busy preparing breakfast for everyone.

"Good morning," Xu Qianghua said, getting the maids' attention.

"Good morning, Master," they all replied, smiling at him.

Soon, the ladies came out of their rooms, and they all sat down and started eating breakfast prepared by the maids.

After that, Xu Qianghua and Huang Xinyi approached the second challenge in the public library next to the City Lord's Mansion.

Why did they not do this first? It was because she had just been summoned, and he did not want to throw her into this challenge where the challenger needed to use their brains.

As they approached the library, they saw that it was empty because it was only open when the city had a lord.

This is because the library contains not only normal books but also cultivation manuals and combat methods that previous city lords and citizens spent their lives collecting for the future generations of this city.

"Are you ready for this, Xinyi?" Xu Qianghua asked as they stood in front of the library's grand doors.

Huang Xinyi nodded. "Yes, Master. I'm ready."

Xu Qianghua smiled and used his Spiritual Qi to open the massive doors, which were filled with intricate designs telling stories about the city's past.

The library was vast, filled with rows upon rows of ancient books and scrolls. They walked in, the sound of their footsteps echoing in the quiet space.

They made their way to another door in the back of the library, made with special material that could block any detection.

As they entered, they could see an old, ornate object in the center of the room that glowed faintly with a mystical light.

"This is where the trial begins," Xu Qianghua said. "Good luck, Huang Xinyi."

Huang Xinyi took a deep breath and touched the glowing object. Immediately, she felt a strange pull, and her vision blurred. When she opened her eyes, she was in a different place.

It was a vast, empty hall with tall pillars and intricate carvings on the walls. In the center of the hall was a large table with various items on it, along with the ornate object that brought her here.

She was surprised at first but not much as she was told by Xu Qianghua yesterday that this would happen as part of the test and that she was safe.

"Welcome, Huang Xinyi," a voice echoed through the hall. "This is the Trial of Wisdom. To pass, you must solve the Ancient Puzzle given by the World's Will."

Huang Xinyi looked around, trying to find the source of the voice, and soon, she discovered that it came from an ornate object. So she approached the table and saw that it was covered with many different kinds of tasks, which the World's Will had specially crafted to test the City's Lord's mind and wit.

'I can do this. Stay calm and focus,' she thought as she glanced at all the items provided by the World's Will to help her.

She picked up one of the ancient scripts and began to read. The World's Will deciphered the writing as this was just a history script telling her about the City Lord of that time.

The script spoke of a great city that prospered under a wise and just ruler. It mentioned various challenges the ruler faced and how she overcame them.

Yes, this City Lord was a female. She ruled a different City and made it prosperous. However, she had to overcome many challenges while in office.

In the end, the World's Will left a question regarding one of the City Lord's choices, which she could not answer, so she left this problem for the future generation to solve.

This question came from her lifelong work, so Huang Xinyi had all the required materials to solve this problem.

'There must be a clue. I need to understand the history to solve the puzzle.' She thought.

She continued reading, piecing together the story of the ancient city. As she read, she noticed patterns and connections to all her work, and she became so engrossed in it that she lost track of time.

Hours passed as she worked, but she didn't feel the time. The special space created by the World's Will made time move differently here. She knew she had all the time she needed to solve the puzzle.

Meanwhile, in the Library.

Xu Qianghua saw Huang Xinyi's body lose all support after touching the ornate object due to her would be sucked away, but he quickly caught her and placed her on a sofa next to the object.

"It should have started; good luck, Xinyi," He mumbled as he looked at her beautiful face.

He then summoned a Shadow Member to watch over her as he knew it would take her time to finish the challenge. Meanwhile, he started roaming around the library.

The whole place was huge, with rows and rows of books. However, many of the books were normal books used by the citizens, while a small special formation protected a few low-level cultivation manuals and combat methods.

When touched, this formation imprints the contents of the manuals into the minds of the people without them touching the book itself.

And as he browsed through the different books, the system interjected.

[Host, do you want me to copy the contents of the library so that when you set up the Scripture Tower, I can copy the contents over there]

She asked this because although the Scripture Tower is a Chaos rank item, it has lost most of its functions, one of them being the building being able to scan the World and note down all the information in books.

They would not need to worry about anything if it had this function. They would let the Scripture tower copy all the normal and cultivation books and store them in the tower for their family to use.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, he nodded. "Yes, please do that."

[Okay, Master] she responded as a transparent blue light left his body as it scanned this library's contents.
