Wang Teng repeated the place name, and his guess became clearer and clearer.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Wang Teng and continued, "Emperor Xueye previously bestowed upon Wang Teng the title of viscount, which, according to the rules, entitles him to his own fiefdom."
“Wang Teng entrusted me with the matter of his fiefdom, so I took the initiative to exchange his original territory, which was allocated to a remote area, for this one.”
"It's this mountain forest south of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, near the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range."
Ning Fengzhi pointed out the car window and said, "This mountain is called Tiger King Ridge, and this city was built for Wang Teng as Tiger King City."
"Tiger King Ridge... Tiger King Village..."
Wang Teng murmured.
You're right.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Your father, Wang Wu, and elder brother, Wang Sheng, should be here now."
"This city will be left to them from now on."
“You’ve been cultivating away from home for years, so they need a home to settle down in.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He was a boy who came from a remote village, and now he actually owns a city of his own.
All of this is inseparable from Ning Fengzhi's help.
"Thank you for your help, Uncle Ning."
Wang Teng said sincerely.
"As long as you're satisfied."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand casually, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
The carriage moved slowly along the stone-paved streets of the city, its wheels making a crisp sound as they rolled over the pavement.
Looking out the car window at the brand-new city, Wang Teng was filled with mixed emotions.
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, would you like to come with me to take a look?"
Wang Teng suddenly turned his head and looked at the two girls sitting on the other side of the carriage.
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both lowered their heads.
Ning Rongrong twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and Zhu Zhuqing's ears quietly turned pink.
Neither of them spoke, nor did they shake their heads.
"Let's go together."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and made the decision for them, saying, "From now on, we're all family, so it's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other."
"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually."
"Dad, you're the ugly one!"
Ning Rongrong suddenly raised her head, her face flushed red.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head even further, almost burying it in her chest.
Wang Teng coughed, but didn't say anything more.
Amidst good-natured laughter, the carriage slowly made its way to the city lord's mansion in the city center.
The city lord's mansion is not grand, but it is exquisite.
With its blue bricks and gray tiles, upturned eaves, and two lifelike stone tigers in front of the door, the building exudes a solemn and imposing atmosphere.
The mansion gates were wide open, and a brand-new plaque hung above the lintel.
Tiger King's Mansion.
As soon as Wang Teng stepped off the carriage, he saw two figures walking out of the mansion.
Leading the way was a burly middle-aged man with dark skin, a resolute face, and rough hands, clearly someone who worked in the fields year-round.
He had wrinkles around his eyes, but he was still energetic and walked with a steady gait.
Behind him was a young man of eighteen or nineteen, who looked somewhat like the middle-aged man and had a similarly sturdy build, but with a youthful vigor in his eyes.
"Dad! Big brother!"
Wang Teng strode forward, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
When Wang Wu saw Wang Teng, he was stunned for a moment, then strode over, grabbed Wang Teng's shoulder, and looked him up and down.
His eyes reddened slightly, and his lips trembled a few times, but he only managed to utter two words: "You've lost weight."
Wang Sheng followed behind his father and came forward, patted Wang Teng's arm, and said with a smile, "Little brother, you're finally back."
"We haven't seen each other for so long."
The three stood in front of the mansion gate, their eyes meeting, and for a moment they didn't know where to begin.
Wang Teng has been away from his family for a long time. Although they have exchanged letters a few times, it is still not as good as seeing them in person.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back."
Wang Wu wiped his eyes, his voice a little hoarse.
Wang Teng quickly introduced Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others to his father and elder brother.
"Dad, elder brother, this is Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We are very grateful for his care during this time."
Upon hearing the words "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Wang Wu and Wang Sheng's expressions immediately changed.
When Ning Fengzhi made arrangements for Wang Wu and his son, he did not appear in person but instead sent his subordinates to handle the matter.
In the eyes of Wang Wu and other ordinary villagers, the sect leaders of the three upper sects were figures from the clouds, figures they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Wang Wu quickly bowed, and Wang Sheng followed suit, their movements as restrained as a child who had just learned to walk.
"Sect Leader Ning... Your presence is an honor to my humble abode..."
Wang Wu's voice was trembling.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and took his arm, saying, "In-law, there's no need to be so polite."
"From now on, we're all family. Just call me Fengzhi."
"Dear...in-laws"
Wang Wu was stunned and looked at Wang Teng with a bewildered expression.
Although Wang Wu already knew about this, it was still different when Ning Fengzhi said it himself.
Wang Teng coughed, stepped aside to let the two girls behind him with their heads down, and said, "Dad, Big Brother, this is Ning Rongrong, Uncle Ning's daughter."
"This is Zhu Zhuqing."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and greeted in unison, "Uncle, hello."
Wang Wu's mind didn't quite process it for a moment.
Both girls called him uncle.
He looked at Ning Rongrong, then at Zhu Zhuqing, then at Wang Teng. His mouth opened and closed, and his expression changed from bewilderment to shock, and then from shock to ecstasy.
"This...this..."
Wang Wu was so excited he couldn't speak, and kept patting Wang Teng's shoulder.
"Good lad, good lad!"
Wang Sheng was stunned for a long time, then grinned and gave a thumbs up.
"Wow, that's impressive, little brother!"
Wang Wu snapped out of his daze and quickly invited everyone into the mansion.
As he walked, he kept muttering, "I'll have someone prepare the meal right away. Please have a seat, please have a seat..."
"Oh, by the way, a chef just came to town. He's really good at cooking. I've just ordered some..."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "In-law, there's no need for anything too formal, a simple home-cooked meal will do."
Afterwards, everyone entered the mansion and sat down in the front hall.
Wang Wu busied himself preparing tea and snacks, while Wang Sheng chatted with him, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Through the conversation, Wang Teng learned more details about this Tiger King City.
The nominal owner of the fiefdom of Tiger King Ridge is Wang Teng.
After all, the title of viscount belonged to him.
But in reality, it was his elder brother, Wang Sheng, who governed the city.
Wang Sheng was young, had received some education, and was quick-witted. He was mainly responsible for the daily affairs of the city.
The city's residents are partly migrants from villages and towns surrounding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and partly original villagers from Tiger King Village.
When Wang Wu learned that his son had been granted a fief, his first thought was to bring the villagers from Huwang Village over.
Those people had lived in Huwang Village for generations, struggling to make ends meet. Now that their son had become successful, they wanted to help their fellow villagers.
"Have all the people from Tiger King Village arrived?"
Wang Teng asked.
"They're all here."
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "The land in the village has been returned, and the houses have been dealt with."
"Everyone was overjoyed to hear that they could move to the city."
"They are all living in the west of the city now. Once the houses in the city are built, they will be allocated to them."
In addition, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is responsible for the military forces within the city.
The captain of the guard team was a Soul Saint named Huo Yang, a taciturn middle-aged woman with considerable strength.
She was specially sent by Ning Fengzhi, mainly to ensure the safety of Wang Wu and Wang Sheng.
There are two vice-captains, namely Su Yuntao and Sisi.
"Brother Tao and Sister Sisi, they're here too?"
