Qin Lianshan had a general outlook on the situation. He understood the difference between staying in the human countries and going to the Forbidden Spiritual Zone, but it was inconvenient for him to give a strong opinion in this moment.

Instead, he said, “Ming’Er and Xu’Er, if you are asking for my opinion, of course I would be in favor of going to the Forbidden Spiritual Zone. Anyone would pick this choice. However, Ming’Er, Chengcheng’s last name is Da Xi. This is a matter you can discuss with your family.”

Da Xi Ming had prospered due to his wife. Naturally, he was able to have superior strength and could stand almost at the summit of the human countries because of his marriage with Qin Xiu. He basked in the light of Qin Wushuang, his wife’s younger brother.

Or else, with Da Xi Ming’s potential alone, it was almost impossible for him to enter the Upper Sky Realm. At first, Qin Wushuang had given him the Initial Stage pill of supreme quality to help him make a dash to the Upper Sky. Plus he used the Green Jade Ice-Heart Fruit, which was a rare good that greatly improved his potential.

With the consumption of the Green Jade Icre-Heart Fruit, the Upper Sky Realm almost seemed insignificant. This fruit was sufficient enough to help them make a dash to the Void Martial Stage easily.

As for the level of the Void Martial Stage that they could make, it would depend on each individual’s luck. Having such strength would be considered as invincible at the human countries regardless of the level reached.

Upon hearing the words of his father-in-law, Da Xi Ming also felt extremely gratified. He nodded. “Ok, I can ask after we have gotten back. I believe that my father will not oppose.”

The Stargaze Palace party had already begun the restoration process. Although a large group of disciples had died in the previous disaster, a small portion of survivors went missing, and another portion had left in secret: the core members of the sect were all who remained. They would be a great asset to the restoration process.

The process of rebuilding the mountain gate was carried out regularly and thoroughly.

Qin Wushuang decided to return to the Bai Yue Country first. He had been away from the Heavenly Royal Mansion for too long, so it was time for him to go back and take a look.

Although the Heavenly Royal Mansion would not be a place for long-term development, before their departure, they could not lose the mansion.

When Qin Wushuang brought up this matter to the five Palace Masters, they of course could not object. They could no longer have much say in Qin Wushuang’s affairs.

As they returned to the Bai Yue Country, Qin Wushuang and his group kept a low-profile. Qin Wushuang also did not expose his whereabouts. Besides people of the Stargaze Palace, only the few people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect knew that Qin Wushuang had returned.

Since the Dragon and Tiger Sect had lost so much of their shame, of course they would not publicize this news. Naturally, people of the Stargaze Palace knew that Qin Wushuang’s identity was of incredible importance and would not expose it.

The return of the Heavenly Royal King was definitely a moral booster for the Bai Yue Country.

Following the changes of the general situation, the position held by the Heavenly Royal Mansion was completely different than what they had a few years ago. Currently, the Heavenly Royal Mansion was already the totem figure of the Bai Yue Country and its very existence had even surpassed the Martial Saint Mountain.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly Royal Mansion had several elite warriors at the Upper Sky Realm. Now, even the butlers of the mansion were at the Upper Sky Realm, not to mention the Heavenly Royal King and his son-in-law.

For such a situation, the royal family and the Martial Saint Mountain were not jealous of them and had accepted this situation. Everyone knew that with Qin Wushuang, the Heavenly Royal Mansion would not long for the tiny authority held by the Bai Yue Country, due to their superior position.

If the Heavenly Royal Mansion was willing, it would not be a problem if they were to become a powerful overlord at the Great Luo Empire. To the Bai Yue Country, the current Heavenly Royal Mansion was not just a lord, but a holy place and a huge patron. They could only earn favor with them.

Therefore, when the Heavenly Royal King had returned, all parties from the Bai Yue Country strove to be the first to pay a visit to them.

Since his identity was of sensitive topic and he was not intentionally trying to assume great airs, Qin Wushuang found it unnecessary to appear.

In fact, Qin Wushuang was not needed to step out. Presently, the position and status of Qin Lianshan and Da Xi Ming was sufficient to intimidate the Bai Yue Country and to deal with any situations.

When they returned to the Heavenly Royal City, the two great butlers, Qin Sixi and Gou Sheng had been waiting there for a while with other people.

Last time when the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had invaded, their primary target was the Stargaze Palace and did not root out the Heavenly Royal Mansion. If they had spread out their invasion, most likely they would not be seeing these two butlers.

“Marquis, the heaven had pity on you, you are finally back.” No ordinary person could understand the loyalty from Qin Sixi to Qin Lianshan. Tears coursed down the old man’s cheek.

Throughout this year, he had heard too many rumors and fake news. People said that the Heavenly Royal King and every last one of his subordinates had been massacred.

These rumors disturbed the Heavenly Royal Mansion and all citizens of the Bai Yue Country.

Now, upon hearing the return of the Heavenly Royal King, of course they were to line the streets in welcome throughout the entire Heavenly Royal City. Everywhere there were people of the city waiting to welcome the king.

Qin Lianshan had always treated his people with kindness and a gentle manner. As a result, he had the will of the people. Plus the people had great admiration for the Heavenly Royal Mansion, making the scene irremediable.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Royal City was recently built. Since the streets were wide there were no traffic jams.

Qin Wushuang and Mu Rong Xu had decorated their appearances to walk on the streets of the Heavenly Royal City. These people with naked eyes would, of course, not be able to recognize them.

Mu Rong Xu was in a delighted mood. She loved such a feeling. She was walking with her beloved one through the land he had grown up on and could experience the tracks he had taken.

“Brother Qin, your home is really beautiful.” Mu Rong Xu sighed with deep affection. This was not a compliment untrue to her conviction. The construction of the Heavenly Royal City was based on the River County and the Eastwood Town. Especially with the Eastwood Town, as its back was against the Great Cang Mountain, the verdant hills and limpid water made it an incredibly beautiful place.

“Xu’Er, look at that mountain. That is the Great Cang.”

Mu Rong Xu followed Qin Wushuang’s hand and looked towards the direction of the Great Cang. She said with an unhurried tone, “Brother Qin, in the past, you have trained at the Great Cang Mountain, right?”

“Yes, the Great Cang Mountain was like my mother, who nurtured my growth. Xu’Er, my current power, that allowed me to have the Eastwood Qin clan return to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and to meet with you, would not have been possible without the mountain’s nurturing. Without the Great Cang, I would not be me.”

Mu Rong Xu was dazed as she listened. “Brother Qin, can you bring Xu’Er there?”

“Yes.” Qin Wushuang’s affection to the Great Cang Mountain was not something that could be understood by ordinary people. He would be more than happy to share such an emotional experience with Mu Rong Xu.

When they returned the mansion, Qin Wushuang had finally realized that Xiao Guan was gone.

Qin Wushuang gave a light sigh. In the end, could this young man not withstand loneliness, so he left the Heavenly Royal Mansion? Qin Wushuang was slightly disappointed. He had valued Xiao Guan and appreciated his personality. Since he did not see Xiao Guan, he thought he had left after seeing the situation was not becoming favorable.

Immediately, he walked to the great hall where Qin Sixi and Gou Sheng were reporting the mansion’s matters to Qin Lianshan. In general, the days at the mansion were incredibly calm.

When they saw Qin Wushuang walk in, Qin Sixi and Gou Sheng were stunned. Apparently, they could not recognize Qin Wushuang after his makeover.

Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile. “Uncle Sixi, Butler Gou, do you not recognize me?”

“Young master?”

Both Qin Sixi and Gou Sheng were stunned as they looked at Qin Wushuang with astonishment.

Qin Lianshan smiled. “Wushuang, when you are home, don’t wear masks. Anyways, with your skills, the people you don’t want to see you cannot see you.”

Qin Wushuang laughed, but did not take off his mask. Instead, he asked, “Uncle Sixi, how come I didn’t see Xiao Guan this time?”

Qin Sixi and Gou Sheng looked at each other in dismay and their expression appeared somewhat unnatural.

“What’s going on?” Qin Wushuang frowned slightly.

“Ah, this child is not genuine.” Qin Sixi gave a long sigh and then continued, “In the beginning I thought this kid was sincere. Unexpectedly, half a year ago, rumors from the outside kept spreading, saying how you were killed by people at the Xuan Yuan Mound and how Marquis and his subordinates would never return. Us old people all refused to believe this and we forbid people inside the mansion to spread such meaningless rumors. However, ever since that time, Xiao Guan appeared strange.”

“Oh?” Qin Wushuang felt somewhat puzzled. “In what way was he behaving strangely?”

“He always did the things we gave him with mistakes and often wrongly calculated the accounts. There were big and minor mistakes in all sorts of his assignments. We had cleaned up after him too many times. Then one day, a subordinate of the mansion told us that Xiao Guan had left the mansion and was missing.”

“Left the mansion and was missing?” Qin Wushuang found it hard to imagine. He judged Xiao Guan to not be a vile character and no coward, he wouldn’t only think of himself on the verge of danger or else Qin Wushuang would have never taken him in.

“Yes, this Xiao Guan had truly forget favors and violated justice. Young master you had nurtured him so much and helped him to enter the Upper Sky Realm. In the end, after he had entered the Upper Sky Realm, he as the one that drinks the well, forgets the person that had built the well. Upon hearing a few rumors, he escaped without a trace. This child is not dependable.” Qin Sixi was full of complaints.

Gou Sheng also smiled bitterly. In the past, he had also changed sides politically just before battle, yet that was due to not having an intelligent master. Now, following as wise a master as the Qin Clan, even Gou Sheng would not change sides right before battle. He didn’t expect that despite having good strength, the young man Xiao Guan was even more afraid of things.

“He just left quietly? Had he not left any letters or something?”

Qin Sixi and Gou Sheng both shook their heads. “He didn’t leave anything, but just left quietly.”

Qin Wushuang found this to be strange. This was not Xiao Guan’s style. With his personality, even if he were leave, it would be impossible for him not to make things clear. Although the kid was somewhat impulsive in doing business, he had comradeship. Qin Wushuang would not easily believe that he had run away in the face of the upcoming danger.

“You guys didn’t move anything from the place he lived, right?” Qin Wushuang asked.

“No, we did not move anything. Initially, we thought he was just heading out for a short while and would soon be back. So we didn’t touch his thing. We didn’t expect for him not to return after all this time.”

“I’m going to take a look.” Qin Wushuang frowned slightly and waved his hand to walk towards Xiao Guan’s living quarters. Xiao Guan’s living quarters could be considered a core area of the mansion, proving he held a high position.

Qin Wushuang opened the door and walked in. There was already a lingering moldy and damp smell inside the room. Qin Wushuang swung with his sleeves and swept away all the filth that had not been cleaned from inside the room.

Indeed, no one had moved anything from the room. Qin Wushuang wandered around and saw that there were no inappropriate things placed on the table, chairs or bed.

As he stood there and looked for a moment, suddenly, Qin Wushuang felt compelled to push a section of the closet. Instantly, a secret section shot out. A ball of candle wax was placed inside and clearly, something was wrapped inside this candle wax.
