Chapter 506: Chu Feng: I Am Very Much Looking Forward to Bei Xuan's Experience This Time
"The Han Family's Immortal Master has rendered meritorious service to the nation... Effective immediately, the Han Family Patriarch is conferred the title of Town State Marquis, to forever guard Hao Prefecture and be co-existent with the Nation. By Imperial Command!!!"
The Immortal Envoy's voice echoed throughout the entire Han Estate, allowing everyone nearby to hear it clearly. Everyone present had varying expressions upon hearing the decree. The Han Family siblings looked excited, and all the Han Family servants showed fervent looks on their faces.
Co-existent with the Nation meant that their Patriarch would become a regional lord, and they, as servants, could also walk sideways in Hao Prefecture City. The most stunned person was the Hao Prefecture Prefect. He never expected things to turn out this way.
If the Han Family was to forever guard Hao Prefecture, then where would he, the Prefect, stay, and how would his family establish themselves in Hao Prefecture?
Han Ping, however, stood where he was with a calm expression. He already knew all of this. The only thing he wished to do now was head to the Royal City to participate in the Xu Nation's cultivators' trade fair.
"Congratulations to the Han Family Patriarch." The Immortal Envoy said respectfully. Although he did not know exactly what the Han Family Patriarch had done, this decree was issued by the Ancestor, and no one could disobey it.
"I thank Senior. Please, Senior, rest in the inner hall." Han Xiuyuan very politely accepted the Imperial Decree.
Hearing this, the Immortal Envoy quickly said, "I dare not, I dare not. Senior Han's Ancestor specifically asked me to inquire if you have any needs."
Han Xiuyuan subconsciously turned his gaze to Han Ping standing beside him. This small action of his naturally drew the attention of everyone around.
The Immortal Envoy also followed Han Xiuyuan's gaze. When the Immortal Envoy saw Han Ping standing there, he was completely stunned; although the person before him did not exude any oppressive aura, just standing there, he resembled a towering, insurmountable mountain.
"This junior greets Senior Han."
"You possess some insight." Han Ping said, smiling lightly. "Other than those words, what else did the old fox Su tell you to bring?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present involuntarily trembled. Everyone knew that the Xu Nation's Ancestor was a Fox Immortal, but no one dared to refer to her as the "old fox" in private.
This was a great disrespect. The Immortal Envoy trembled all over and respectfully said, "The Ancestor wishes to ask if there is anyone among the younger generation of the Han Family who is unmarried."
Han Ping smiled and said, "This old fox Su is quite interesting. However, my Han Ping's grandson is not someone just any woman can match. Moreover, my Han Family's betrothal gifts are bountiful. Can the Su Family produce corresponding dowry gifts?"
"..." A silence from everyone present was the response to Han Ping.
Seeing this, Han Ping smiled and said, "Alright, these are not words that you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, should relay. You return first, and tell the old fox Su that this Seat will go to the Royal City to meet her in three days."
"Understood." The Immortal Envoy replied, then respectfully and slowly withdrew.
The Hao Prefecture Prefect and others also took their leave, withdrawing from the Han Estate. At this moment, only one thought remained in everyone's minds: Hao Prefecture was about to change hands.
After sending everyone away, Han Xiuyuan cautiously asked, "Granduncle, do I really have to marry someone from the Su Family?"
"It depends on whether you like her or not. This Seat is merely offering a suggestion. Tomorrow, I will impart cultivation techniques to you and your sister. Once I have finished setting up the great formation and left some life-saving items for you, I will leave."
Han Ping said indifferently. He could only do what was within his power. As for the fate of his descendants, he could not interfere.
Time flew quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Han Ping had stayed in Hao Prefecture City for a month.
During this month, the Han Estate underwent earth-shattering changes. The originally ordinary Han Estate had now been transformed into an Immortal Residence.
The entire residence was enveloped by spiritual light; it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to even approach the Han Estate. Even if they walked toward the direction of the Han Estate, they would unknowingly bypass it.
Many people lamented in their hearts that this Immortal Residence could only be viewed from afar, not profaned up close.
The Han Family did not take action against the officials and gentry of Hao Prefecture. After Han Xiuyuan met with the officials, he only left one sentence: Everything remains as before.
The officials and gentry of Hao Prefecture breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words. They were only afraid that this Han Family Patriarch would suddenly make a series of moves that would leave them without a place to survive.
Inside the Han Estate, Han Ping handed several items over to the Han Family siblings.
"From now on, how far you can walk depends on yourselves. If one day you are able to establish your own domain in the cultivation world, then bring this Seat's token and come to the Dao Inquiry Academy to visit this Seat."
"We respectfully obey Granduncle's command." The two said in unison.
"We are leaving." Han Ping finished speaking and then left Hao Prefecture City with Manduola.
No one knew when Han Ping left; everyone only knew that from this day forward, the Han Family was the most respected in Hao Prefecture City.
"My Lord, where shall we go next?" Manduola asked after leaving Hao Prefecture City.
"Xuan Continent is vast. Naturally, we should look around a bit. I wish to become a Dao Integration cultivator before returning to the Dao Inquiry Academy." Han Ping said with a determined expression.
Manduola nodded slightly: "Alright."
Dao Inquiry Academy, on Miaomiao Mountain.
Chu Feng was, as always, watering his Bodhi tree and reciting scriptures every day; his life had begun to feel rich and fulfilling.
"Master, Master." Chen Qianqian ran to the Bodhi tree with an excited expression, smiling sweetly at Chu Feng.
"What mischief have you been up to again, little girl?" Chu Feng asked with a look of indulgence.
"Master, am I just a little devil king in your heart?" Chen Qianqian asked glumly.
Chu Feng stroked her little head: "Of course not. But the things you've done, little girl, are too numerous to record. Are you truly not being mischievous this time?"
Chen Qianqian shook her head and said with a proud expression, "No, Qianqian just wanted to tell you that I have also started teaching the outer sect disciples."
"Oh." Chu Feng said with interest: "I didn't expect our Qianqian to grow up too. It seems in a few more years, you can also roam the world like your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."
Hearing this, Chen Qianqian's face showed envy, and she muttered, "Master, what do you think happened to Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Senior Brother Ye? Will they be bullied in the other Continents?"
Chu Feng smiled and said, "It would be good enough if your Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother didn't bully others. As for that boy Bei Xuan, this Seat is very much looking forward to his performance in the Desolate Continent."
"Calculating the days, that boy Bei Xuan is about to start the Phoenix Clan's trial. I truly don't know how strong he will be after this experience."
Chen Qianqian heard this and said, "Master, Senior Brother Ye is so formidable, he will definitely take first place in the trial and shake the Desolate Continent."
Chu Feng casually summoned a feathered fan from his storage ring, fanning himself as he said, "You have a point. My disciples, no matter where they are, will overpower the heroes."
Meanwhile, outside the Divine Phoenix Valley in the Desolate Continent, within a team waiting to enter the valley.
A young cultivator suddenly felt an itch in his nose and instinctively let out a sneeze.
"A-choo!!!"
