The entire family happily ate together. This meal was extremely sumptuous, and although it wasn't made from herbs or demonic beasts, it was still the most delicious meal Qin Wentian had in recent years.
The feeling of being able to dine together with his family after being separated for over ten years was something that couldn't be experienced in the outside world. Qin Wentian who was inside the Qin Residence felt as though his entire body was relaxed, relaxed from the depths of his heart.
He listened to Qin Shang and Qin Zhi discussing their cultivation trends, as well as their love experiences while a warm smile hung on his face. Occasionally, he would interject a few sentences, but it didn't matter.
Everyone else also wanted to hear about Qin Wentian's experiences. Qin Wentian told them about it, causing all of them to sigh with emotion. The outside world was actually so vast. Grand Xia was referred to as the Desolate Land of Desolation by outsiders, and out of the three empires, Grand Xia was the weakest, so weak that it was pitifully pitiful.
The Grand Zhou Empire and Grand Shang Empire were subsidiary empires of the Royal Sacred Sect. In the various regions of the Royal Sacred Region, there were countless major and minor transcendent powers. There were also many ancient sects and ancient empires that had existed for tens of thousands of years. Any one of them could easily destroy the entire Grand Xia Empire. Just a single official from one of those ancient empires could trample the Greencloud Imperial Empire into ashes.
"In that case, wouldn't it be extremely difficult to live in the Royal Sacred Region?" Mother Qin picked up some food for Qin Wentian, her heart tightened as she listened. There were so many major powers in the Royal Sacred Region, yet Qin Wentian had to roam the outside world alone. How difficult must it be?
"Mhm, it's indeed very difficult." Qin Wentian nodded. It truly wasn't easy for him to reach where he was today.
"Wentian, take it slow. The outside world is too vast, let's take it step by step. Maybe in the future, you would be able to join a major power or become a marquis of an ancient country." Qin Shang consoled upon seeing Qin Wentian nodding his head. Qin Wentian started before smiling and nodding his head. In front of the Qin Clan, there was no need for Qin Wentian to show off.
"When I grow up, I want to explore the world with Uncle." Little Qin Xin's tender voice rang out, causing everyone to laugh. Only to see Qin Wentian pinching little Qin Xin's cheeks as he spoke, "Good, when you grow up, you will definitely become a heroine whose name will shake the heavens."
"Mhm." Qin Xin nodded her head, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Wentian, there are only two more months until the end of the year. After the Yearly Sacrifice, on the first day of the new year, how about we set the date of our wedding?" Qin Chuan asked.
"As you wish, Father." Qin Wentian nodded with a smile.
"Okay. Three days later, I will bring some men to the Mo Residence in the royal capital to propose marriage. There's no need for you to handle these matters. Have a good rest." Qin Chuan stated.
"Okay." Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't have any objections. After the banquet, everyone chatted until late at night before dispersing. After everyone left, Qin Chuan and his wife, Qin Yao and Qin Wentian chatted for a long time before Qin Chuan and his wife returned to their room. They then spoke to Qin Wentian and Qin Yao, "You two should rest early as well."
"Got it, I will accompany Wentian for a while." Qin Yao smiled mischievously.
"I know you two have a good relationship." Qin Chuan's mother laughed as the two of them left.
Qin Wentian and Qin Yao sat down on the grass in the courtyard. The starlight in the sky seemed to contain traces of warmth.
"Tell me honestly, how many things have you not told me yet?" Qin Yao stared at Qin Wentian as though she was interrogating him.
"Don't tell me you want me to tell you everything that happened in the past ten years?" Qin Wentian felt somewhat depressed.
"Hmph, tell me your cultivation base first." Qin Yao's lips twitched. She wouldn't let this fellow off so easily.
"Peak of Heavenly Dipper." Qin Wentian shrugged. Although Qin Yao was long prepared, her body still trembled involuntarily. In the past, Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns were the stuff of legends in Chu. But now, Qin Wentian had stepped into the peak of Heavenly Dipper at the age of twenty-eight. Qin Yao had no way to comprehend what level this was.
"What about sects? Since you and Mo Qingcheng met outside, you must have joined sects before, right?" Qin Yao's beautiful eyes flickered with a strange light.
"In the past, I joined the Battle Sword Sect, one of the nine great sects under the Royal Sacred Sect. But after that, because of some friction between me and the Royal Sacred Sect, I decided to withdraw from the Battle Sword Sect," Qin Wentian honestly replied.
"The Royal Sacred Sect? The hegemon of the Boundless Region you spoke of?" Qin Yao's eyes widened. Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"Did you manage to escape back here?" Qin Yao mumbled.
Qin Wentian rolled his eyes. "No, there were some seniors who helped me to control the situation. One of them was none other than Qingcheng's master, a power named the Medicine Sovereign Valley. Qingcheng is the personal disciple of the Medicine Sovereign, the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley, and a fifth-ranked alchemist. Her status in the world of alchemy is equivalent to a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant in the Martial World."
Qin Yao blinked her eyes. In the darkness of the night, her beautiful eyes were exceptionally bright. However, she didn't know how to describe the shock she felt in her heart. She opened her mouth a few times, but eventually, she sighed softly as a look of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Qin Wentian asked as he noticed the look in Qin Yao's eyes.
Qin Yao shook her head lightly. She hugged Qin Wentian's arm as she leaned against Qin Wentian, resting her head on Qin Wentian's shoulder. She didn't say anything, quietly enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
"Wentian, am I very useless?" Qin Yao murmured, her mood was somewhat weak. Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng had already walked so far away from each other. Although she was happy for them, when she thought of the distance between her and Wentian getting bigger and bigger, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable pain in her heart. Ten years had passed since they parted, what about the next time they parted?
"How can that be? My sister Qin Yao is intelligent and beautiful, good at understanding others. If there's a next life, I will definitely want you to be my sister." Qin Wentian stared at the starry sky as he gently spoke.
"Really?" Qin Yao turned her eyes over, as her immeasurably deep eyes stared at Qin Wentian.
"Of course." Qin Wentian nodded his head. Qin Yao's eyes flashed with a light smile as she hugged Qin Wentian even tighter. She gently spoke, "Tonight, you will accompany me here, just like when we were young, and we will count the stars together."
"Okay, let's count the stars." Qin Wentian laughed. The two of them lay on the grass, staring at the starry sky.
… …
The early morning sunlight cascaded down onto the lands of Chu. In the Royal Capital of Chu, the Mo Residence was still rather quiet. However, outside the Mo Residence, numerous horses pulling a dragon carriage could be seen galloping over. Beside the dragon carriage, there were many powerful guards. The guards of the Mo Residence all felt their hearts trembling. Could this be someone from the Royal Clan?
At this moment, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor walked out from the dragon carriage. This young man didn't exude any aura, yet his aura was extremely natural, exuding the aura of a king. He was cultured and refined, yet didn't lose his majesty. The crown on his head made him seem even more extraordinary.
"We pay our respects to your Majesty." The guards of the Mo Residence all knelt on one knee as their hearts trembled. What was going on today? The Emperor of Chu, Chu Wuwei, actually personally came to the Mo Residence.
"Rise." Chu Wuwei gently spoke. "I heard that Qin Wentian has returned. Help me inform him that Chu Wuwei is here to pay a visit."
"Yes, your Majesty." The guards of the Mo Residence all felt their hearts trembling. How much face did their new son-in-law have? The Emperor of Chu actually personally came to pay a visit. In the entire Chu Country, only their son-in-law would receive such treatment. Seems like the rumor circulating in the Mo Residence yesterday was true. Back then when Chu Wuwei ascended to the Emperor's position, it was because their son-in-law, Qin Wentian, gave the nod of approval. Upon thinking of this, the guards couldn't help but feel their backs straightening even more.
The atmosphere in the Mo Residence grew livelier as many people came to welcome Chu Wuwei. Even old man Mo personally came. Everyone in the Mo Residence was gathered together, feeling shock in their hearts. Qin Wentian had just arrived in Chu yesterday, and today, Chu Wuwei actually came to pay a visit. From this, one could very well imagine how important Qin Wentian was in Chu Wuwei's heart.
"Your Majesty, Wentian returned to Sky Harmony City yesterday. He should be heading to the Qin Residence." Old man Mo spoke to Chu Wuwei.
"What a coincidence. I heard that Miss Qingcheng has also returned. I wonder if it's possible for me to pay a visit?" Chu Wuwei smiled, appearing extremely polite.
"Mo Yu, go and greet your sister Qingcheng." Old man Mo spoke.
"Right." Mo Yu nodded and left. Old man Mo and Chu Wuwei continued to chat, and a moment later, Mo Yu returned. A strange expression appeared on her face as she spoke to Chu Wuwei, "Sister Qingcheng said that she wishes to rest."
Actually, Mo Qingcheng's original words weren't as such. When Mo Yu went to inform Mo Qingcheng, Mo Qingcheng merely replied that she didn't wish to meet with outsiders. It wasn't that Mo Qingcheng was rude, it was just that her personality was like this. She wasn't willing to deal with people unrelated to her. Even if it was the Emperor, she wasn't very familiar with Chu Wuwei.
Those beside Chu Wuwei all had expressions of unhappiness on their faces, and there were even a few who frowned. However, they only heard Chu Wuwei laughing, "Fine, I will pay a visit another day."
After speaking, he bid his farewell. Old man Mo personally sent them off, and on the way back, Chu Wuwei's guards unhappily stated, "Your Majesty, the Mo Clan is too rude."
"Impudent." Chu Wuwei faintly spoke. He glanced at the guard who spoke as he continued, "Remember, for those who are related to Qin Wentian, no matter what they do, you are not to interfere."
The guard's heart trembled, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Chu Wuwei's countenance was as calm as ever, there were no fluctuations in his heart.
Qin Wentian, the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm, his name shook the entire Royal Sacred Region. Among the younger generation, there was no one who could contend against him.
Mo Qingcheng, the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley.
This was what Chu Mang told Chu Wuwei. Chu Mang initially wanted to come with him today, but Chu Wuwei didn't allow it. He came here because he wanted to discuss a matter with Qin Wentian and ask for Qin Wentian's opinion. He had no other intentions.
Chu Wuwei didn't come at the right time. Not long after he left, Qin Wentian arrived at the Qin Residence, bringing little Qin Xin along with him.
"Brother-in-law, whose child is this? She's so adorable." Mo Yu hopped and skipped over to Qin Wentian's side. Her slender and elegant figure was filled with the vigor of youth.
"She's my niece, I brought her here to play." Qin Wentian laughed, rubbing Mo Yu's head. This lass's mouth was so sweet, calling him brother-in-law, brother-in-law. She was so sensible.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not a little girl." Mo Yu's lips twitched.
"More or less." Mo Feng's voice drifted over. He stared at Qin Wentian and called out, "Brother-in-law."
"Why, are you going out?" Qin Wentian asked when he saw Mo Feng walking out.
"Mhm." Mo Feng nodded his head, his gaze evasive as he spoke, "Brother-in-law, I'm going out for a walk. You can go and chat with sis Qingcheng."
After speaking, he immediately slipped away. Mo Yu giggled as she mysteriously added, "Brother-in-law, do you believe that Mo Feng went on a date?"
"Believe? Which clan's girl is she from?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"I don't know." Mo Yu shook her head. "But I've met that girl before. She's like a princess, very quiet and elegant, even more beautiful than me. Mo Feng has a crush on someone else but this fellow is too shy and didn't dare to confess. It seems that the girl is about to leave and that's why Mo Feng mustered his courage to meet someone else. Who knows, maybe he will confess today."
"Don't tell me you even found out the location of the date?" Qin Wentian involuntarily rolled his eyes when he saw the crafty light in Mo Yu's eyes.
"Of course." Mo Yu's eyes flickered as she contemplated Qin Wentian. Today, even the Emperor of Chu had come to pay a visit to her brother-in-law. That little girl's status was extraordinary as well, and the guards around her were all extremely powerful. Even her father wanted Mo Feng to give up. Since her brother-in-law was so powerful, if she dragged him along, would he be able to boost Mo Feng's courage?
"Brother-in-law, wait for me. I will go call sis Qingcheng, let's go out for a walk." As she thought of this, that lass Mo Yu slipped away. Qin Wentian stood there as he laughed involuntarily. This lass actually had her eyes on him.
However, he also liked that little fellow Mo Feng. This caused him to recall himself back then. Over ten years ago, wasn't he secretly in love with Mo Qingcheng? Now that they were finally together, Mo Feng's love had just started. This was like a reincarnation cycle. As he thought of this, a warm smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face as he pinched Qin Xin's cheeks. "Let's go and watch elder brother chase after that girl, okay?"
"Xin`er will listen to uncle." Qin Xin gently spoke. Along the way, Qin Wentian brought her along as they soared through the air. This lass didn't cry nor did she throw a tantrum. She simply hugged onto Qin Wentian tightly, appearing extremely obedient!
