Ling Feng tugged at him, and Shi Xiaotian immediately reacted. He smiled awkwardly and placed the items in his hands into his storage pouch.
"Frivolous!" Yue Qianchou harrumphed and looked at them for a while before saying, "There are some things I need you to do. Ling Feng, the three of you will stay here for now. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, the three of you will split up and travel around the Hua Xia Empire, cultivating while traveling. First, to broaden your horizons, and second, to gather some disciples with spiritual roots. Don't worry about what I do. In short, as long as they are not affiliated with any sect, regardless of their age, bring them all here. The more the better, I have a use for them. Remember, try to keep a low profile and don't let the other sects find out. Oh right, if you don't have any money in the secular world, you can ask Little Tian for it. I believe the General's Mansion is not short of money. This is what I want the three of you to do, don't slack off. "
Shi Xiaotian's face twitched unnaturally. Ling Feng and the other two looked at each other. Traveling and cultivating at the same time, there was actually such a good thing. However, from Yue Qianchou's expression, it seemed like this matter was very important. They immediately cupped their fists and said, "Boss, we understand."
Yue Qianchou nodded and took out four small silver balls. He passed them to the four and said, "These are hollow inside. I have placed something inside. If you encounter danger outside and can't save yourself, you can use your divine sense to check. When the time comes, someone will come to save you. Remember to keep it well."
Something that could save lives was indeed a good thing. The four carefully kept it. Shi Xiaotian looked at the three of them. It seemed like they had all been assigned tasks, except for him. This was too much of a blow to his confidence. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what should I do?"
"You?" Yue Qianchou glanced at him and said coldly, "Go do what you need to do. Do your old profession."
Shi Xiaotian was startled and said, "Boss, what old profession do I have?"
"Yes, why not!" Yue Qianchou patted his shoulder and said: "Your matter is very important. You should use your identity as the General's Third Young Master to befriend the nobles in the capital. Don't neglect eating, drinking, and playing."
Ling Feng and the other two turned their heads to the side. Shi Xiaotian's face darkened, and he said stiffly, "Boss, you call this a very important matter?"
"Yes, very important." Yue Qianchou glared fiercely at him, his expression solemn as he said, "I want you to thoroughly investigate all the officials of the fifth rank and above in the Hua Xia Empire, as well as their families. Then, record everything down for me." As he spoke, he handed several jade archives to Miao Yi.
"Ah!" Shi Xiaotian took the jade archive and stood rooted to the ground. A thought flashed through his mind. Was Boss planning to rebel? Otherwise, why would a cultivator want this thing?
Seeing his expression, Yue Qianchou knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It's not what you think. You'll know when the time comes. Alright, I still have some matters to attend to. Just do as I say. "
Hearing his words, Shi Xiaotian felt relieved. He cupped his fists at Ling Feng and the other two and said, "Understood."
Another night passed, and the sky outside was already beginning to brighten. Yue Qianchou walked into the courtyard, and the longsword on his back was unsheathed with a 'qiang' sound. With his hands behind his back, he turned into a streak of light and flew away. The four who were sending him off were fascinated by the sight. Shi Xiaotian even cried out, "Boss, you're too awesome! This won't do. I must learn this as soon as possible."
On a mountaintop on the outskirts of the capital, Yue Qianchou stood silently for a long while. His body was already drenched from the dew. At this moment, the rays of the rising sun were so blinding that he had to close his eyes. He stood there, waiting for the sun to rise. Everything was bathed in a layer of gold. He turned to look at the densely populated capital of Hua Xia, and mumbled, "So many beauties have fallen to the hands of countless heroes. Since the heavens sent me here, I'd be letting myself down if I don't do something. Xiaotian, if you were to sit on the throne one day, I wonder how you'd feel? "
Facing the rising sun, he stretched lazily. Thinking about the place he was going to, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Time really passed quickly! In the blink of an eye, it had been almost ten years. He wondered how his father, who had helped him clean up the murder scene, was doing. And that crybaby mother. Yue Qianchou grinned, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face. He unsheathed his longsword and left with him.
In a small forest outside Swallow City, Yue Qianchou took a look at the surroundings. It seemed like this was the place where he had opened his eyes back then. He slowly walked out, and walked toward the ancient city gate where people and carriages came and went. It was very familiar, and not much had changed. It was still the same. It was rare for him to come out, and now that he could use the Kinesis Flight technique, transportation was much more convenient. This time, he wanted to go home to take a look.
Walking on the streets of Swallow City, there were all kinds of shops, and it was a bustling scene. Yue Qianchou sighed with emotion as he relived this familiar scene. Suddenly, he realized that many people were looking at him with strange gazes. He thought to himself, 'It's impossible that they know me. I left home at the age of sixteen, and it's been almost ten years since then. My appearance has changed a lot.' Thinking about it, he felt relieved. It was probably because he was carrying a sword on his back and carrying a bag on his waist that looked a little weird. If he had known earlier, he would have kept it first.
He came to a stop in front of a rich and powerful mansion. The plaque on the door read "Yue Manor" in gold. He had finally arrived home. Looking at the bright and clean appearance of the house, it was obvious that there were no signs of decline. It was easy to imagine that the family head here had taken good care of the whole house. Climbing up the steps, just as he was about to enter, he saw the servant guarding the door walk out and block him with hostility. He shouted, "Where did you come from, evil person?"
Yue Qianchou was stunned. He was actually blocked by a servant when he entered his own house. His gaze followed the servant's gaze and landed on the hilt of the sword on his back. 'F * ck! A person carrying a sword is an evil person? Isn't this servant's foresight a little too bad?! What's wrong with father? Why did he choose such a person to guard the door? 'Damn it, you even dare to block the Eldest Young Master's way. I'll fire you later.'
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he remembered that this was his own house. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "I didn't think that after leaving home for almost ten years, I wouldn't even be able to enter the house. Who are you? I remember that Uncle Fu used to be the gatekeeper. "
Hearing him say this, the servant was stunned as well. He looked him up and down, and only then did he realize that there was some resemblance between his brows and the Old Master's. Bewildered, he asked, "You … you're the Eldest Young Master?"
"I am." Yue Qianchou nodded and smiled. He then asked, "Who are you? I haven't seen you before. "
"I … I …" Only now did the servant realize that he had provoked the Eldest Young Master. He stuttered for a while before bowing and saying, "Uncle Fu is my father, this little one is Fu Qing." Saying this, he quickly opened the door and said, "Eldest Young Master, please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qing ran into the mansion while shouting, "Eldest Young Master is back, Eldest Young Master is back …" Yue Qianchou was stunned. 'Damn it! Why did he have to be so ostentatious? ' Then he shook his head with a bitter smile and walked in.
The result of Fu Qing's loud shout was that the richest mansion in Swallow City immediately boiled over. Yue Qianchou walked through the porch and came to the courtyard. He saw a group of people coming out of the main hall. He could vaguely recognize some of them as relatives of his family. The man and woman standing at the front were none other than his father and mother.
Yue Qianchou was a little excited. He strode forward and knelt down in front of the two. He kowtowed three times and said, "Son Yue Qianchou greets Father and Mother!"
