Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 212 The Current Situation of an Old Friend in Kyoto

"I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

Zhan Doudou gritted her teeth and said, "If you still remember that I helped you, then go back to your Qing Kingdom and don't try to take Dongyi City from me."

"impossible!"

Fan Xian retorted defiantly, "It was Senior Si Gu Jian who invited me here. It's not up to you, the Emperor of Northern Qi, to arbitrarily drive away guests on behalf of your host."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Zhan Doudou's eyes. "So, you're determined to oppose me, Teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lang Tao, who had come to Dongyi City with Zhan Doudou, came to the front of the caravan, cupped his hands and said, "Lang Tao greets His Majesty of Nanqing. Could His Majesty please allow us to enter first, for the sake of my junior sister and your brother?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian sneered and said, "Don't bring up Brother Fei Bai. Even if Brother Fei Bai were here, he would never use his personal affairs to make me back down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai's voice came from afar.

"Well said!"

Before he finished speaking, Leng Feibai flashed into the center of the convoy and said, "Your subject, Marquis Changlin, greets Your Majesty."

After speaking, Leng Feibai bowed to Fan Xian.

"No gift!"

Fan Xian was overjoyed and quickly got off the carriage, saying, "Zhan Doudou, aren't you going to move aside? My sworn brother is here! If you block the way again, you'll face the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Doudou's face also turned ugly. She asked, "Leng Feibai, where is my junior aunt?"

Looking at the situation before him, Leng Feibai shook his head helplessly and said, "Why bother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai raised his hand and slid it through the air, and a silver-white talisman immediately flew out of his hand.

"Heavenly Register - Spatial Teleportation Talisman"

A dazzling light shone, and in an instant, the two groups of carriages blocking the entrance vanished.

The next moment, two processions of carriages appeared out of thin air outside the inn in Dongyi City, which was used to entertain distinguished foreign guests. Seeing the change in the surrounding scenery, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Leng Feibai's move is no longer considered martial arts, but rather a divine and demonic method pursued by ascetic cultivators.

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Leng Feibai stepped forward and put his arm around Fan Xian's shoulder, saying, "Let's go, Your Majesty, it's been a long time. Let's have a couple of drinks together."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of complaint.

"You still remember? It's been almost two years. You haven't come to Kyoto to see us at all."

Seeing the two with their arms around each other, the people around them almost dropped their eyes.

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo, who had just walked over, shook her head with a strange expression, and went up to greet Zhan Doudou and Lang Tao, saying, "Your Majesty, Senior Brother, it's been a long time."

The two greeted each other, and Lang Tao, looking at the more voluptuous Haitang Duoduo, couldn't help but say, "Junior Sister, you've gotten so much stronger."

Haitang Duoduo's lips twitched upon hearing this, and she said helplessly, "Yes, it's because I married a good husband. He cooks delicious food for me every day."

While they were chatting, Leng Feibai and Fan Xian arrived at the room arranged by the inn.

Looking around at the room's decor, Leng Feibai turned to Fan Xian's dark circles and said, "Looks like you haven't had much rest lately. What's wrong? Is being the emperor tiring you out?"

"Don't mention it!"

Fan Xian said irritably, "Throughout the year, I've made tens of thousands of decisions. And I also have to spend time figuring out what those people are thinking, to see if their suggestions will delay the affairs of state..."

Seeing Fan Xian complaining to him, Leng Feibai smiled helplessly and changed the subject, asking, "How are Grandma, Godfather, and Aunt Liu?"

"All is well!" Fan Xian said, then couldn't help but add, "Brother, I wrote you several letters last year, why didn't you come back to see us? Now it's just Dad, Aunt, and Grandma at home, no one is there to keep them company!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai's face flashed with a hint of guilt, and he said helplessly, "I can't help it. Sang Wen just finished her postpartum confinement not long ago. Duoduo is also pregnant. I'm busy taking care of them. Let alone leaving Danzhou, it's difficult for me to even leave home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai pretended to have come to his senses and said, "Wait, weren't Ruoruo and Sizhe brought back? Aren't they in Kyoto?"

Although Leng Feibai knew everything about Kyoto through his clone, since Fan Xian hadn't told him these things, he'd better not reveal that he knew.

"no!"

Fan Xian shrugged and said, "When Sizhe came back, he was angry that you brought him back directly and ruined his business in Northern Qi. So, I sent Lao Wang and Lao Gao with their families to accompany Sizhe to Jiangnan to manage the Imperial Treasury."

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "That's right, Sizhe is most skilled in business tactics. He is indeed the best choice to manage your internal treasury!"

"As for Ruoruo!"

Fan Xian's face immediately turned red as he said this, "Now she and Wan'er are like sisters in the palace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai pretended to be surprised and asked, "What did you say? You've taken Ruoruo into your harem?"

"more than!"

Fan Xian blushed and said, "And Sister Sisi, she's now a concubine in my palace!"

"No wonder Grandma took Liu Sisi away with her back then!"

After hearing this, Leng Feibai asked curiously, "How many more do you have in your palace? Just three?"

"Yup!"

Fan Xian covered his face and said, "If it weren't for having to deal with the gossip of the court officials, I really would want to be with Wan'er for life!"

Leng Feibai looked at Fan Xian's expression but didn't say anything more.

After all, in China's five thousand years of history, apart from the deposed emperor of Western Wei, only Emperor Yingzong of Song and Emperor Xiaozong of Ming adhered to the monogamous system.

Of the three, only Emperor Yingzong's son seemed somewhat plausible.

The remaining two, one had no children, and the other's children all died young.

"You should get some rest!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "By the way, Uncle Wuzhu, didn't he come with you?"

"Uncle Wuzhu is now the commander of the Imperial Guards and he's helping me take care of my child in the palace!"

Fan Xian excitedly followed Leng Feibai's words, "Sister Sisi gave birth to a daughter for me, and I named her Shuning. There are also Wan'er and Ruoruo, and they are both pregnant now."

Seeing Fan Xian's excited expression, Leng Feibai cautioned, "Be careful here. Dongyi City may not have much else, but it has plenty of ninth-rank martial artists. You only have Shadow and two hundred Black Riders who can fight you, so be careful when facing them!"

Fan Xian nodded, then suddenly frowned and said, "Brother, is there something wrong with your internal energy? I can't sense any internal energy in you."

As soon as he said that, a hint of unease flashed across Leng Feibai's face. He stubbornly retorted, "I'm a Grandmaster and you're a Ninth Rank Upper Master. How can you sense my true qi? I'm going out for a walk. You should rest well!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai turned and left the room, while using the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique to search for Haitang Duoduo's whereabouts throughout the inn.

Before long, Leng Feibai arrived directly outside a courtyard of the inn.

Upon seeing Leng Feibai arrive, the two guards at the entrance immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Mr. Leng, please wait. The Holy Maiden will be out shortly!"
