Yi Fan’s mansion.
Countless guests gathered at Yi Fan’s mansion, giving toasts with flowing wine.
The guests, in groups of three to five, gathered together, chatting and laughing, waiting for the arrival of the newcomers.
Several noble guests gathered together, whispering.
“Before, Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao got engaged, and Yi Fan was the escort. This time it’s the other way around. Yi Fan got married, it was Zhuang Hao who was in charge.”
When Yi Fan got married, Yi Fan’s elder was supposed to be in charge. However, Yi Fan and Yi Xun had a stiff relationship, and the relationship with the Yi family was also not good, so he simply went to find Zhuang Hao.
“Yi Fan and Zhuang Hao have a good relationship.”
“Speaking of which, Yi Fan decorated the courtyard pretty nicely!”
“Yeah! Even the main residence of the Yi family does not have such an imposing style, Young Master Yi is really promising!”
…………
Yi Fan spent a lot of money to purchase and decorate the courtyard, thus winning a lot of admiration.
“Big brother, Yi Fan is almost here.” Zhuang Qian hastily walked in and said to Zhuang Hao.
Zhuang Hao nodded, “Okay, let someone fire a salute¹.”
Zhuang Qian nodded and said, “Okay.”
Tang Tianying walked over to Zhuang Hao and said, “A-Hao, I didn’t expect that you and Qi Shaorong would be in charge of Yi Fan’s wedding ceremony. Speaking of which, you and Qi Shaorong are a bit like Yi Fan’s parents.”
Zhuang Hao immediately became embarrassed, “I don’t want a son like Yi Fan, he’s simply asking for a beating!”
Tang Tianying: “……”
Tang Tianying glanced in Yun Hu’s direction and said, “That guy is the disciple you arranged for Instructor Wu Cheng, I heard that Wucheng Instructor is very satisfied with this tough disciple.”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
“After he arrived, he’s always eating.” Tang Tianying said.
Zhuang Hao: “……”
“He has such a large appetite!” Tang Tianying couldn’t help saying.
Yi Fan invited a lot of guests, and the ingredients were well prepared. The kitchen would continue to make dishes to supplement the dishes that were empty.
Zhuang Hao coughed twice and said, “Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan should be here soon, I’ll go to the entrance to greet them.”
…………
Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan walked in, and the guests rushed to congratulate them.
Both Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan have good looks, and the surrounding crowd complimented them, which made them a little embarrassed.
Yi Fan pulled Mu Tingxuan to greet the guests who came with greetings.

In the main hall, a big red flower candle burned warmly like no other.

“Worship heaven and earth? What is that?” Zhuang Qian asked in confusion.
Zhuang Hao glanced at Zhuang Qian and said, “Just watch, stop asking so many questions.” Zhuang Hao secretly thought: He is also not very clear about what worshiping heaven and earth is.
“First kowtow to heaven and earth².” Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan turned around and kowtowed towards the door.
“What is that supposed to do?” the confused Zhuang Qian asked.
“Probably Yi Fan doesn’t have the confidence to keep such a beautiful wife, so asked Heaven and Earth to help watch over his wife for him.” Zhuang Hao randomly said.
Zhuang Qian nodded and said, “So that’s the case! Brother, you know a lot!”
Zhuang Hao smiled, “Just so-so.”
“Second kowtow to the boss³”
Qi Shaorong put his hands on his waist and lightly smiled as he accepted the kowtow from them (YF and MTX).
Zhuang Qian tilted his head and said, “Brother, what is a boss? Is it a shopkeeper? Why do you need to worship the boss?”
“The boss is one's bread and butter⁴, so he naturally gets a kowtow.”
Zhuang Qian nodded and said, “That’s why! Brother, when you and Qi Shaorong get married, do you also have to kowtow to the boss? You two don’t seem to have a boss.”
“This… let’s talk about it when the time comes.”
Zhuang Hao thought: According to Qi Shaorong, this kowtow should have been to worship their parents, but Qi Shaorong temporarily changed it to the boss.
“Third kowtow to husband and wife⁵.”
Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan bowed face to face.
…………
Qi Shaorong’s mansion.
Qi Shaorong looked at the edict in his hand and squinted.
Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong and displeasingly said, “Young Master, the emperor is going too far. He is obviously taking revenge on you.”
Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, “Ah-Heng, you can’t say it like that. I’m only level 7, and was granted a piece of territory from the emperor. This is a great favor.”
In order to win over the eighth-level or above masters in the country, as long as they are willing to swear allegiance to the Yuan Country, they can receive territories and become seigneurs.
Qi Heng frowned and said, “However, what Your Majesty gave to the young master is the Jade Sea Plains⁶!”
The Jade Sea Plains is close to the Blue Moon Sea⁷. The sea tribes are extremely unruly, some are extremely intrepid. From time to time, they will come ashore to loot, causing the Jade Sea Plain to be very unstable.
Many specialties of the sea tribes can be exchanged for a large amount of resources from human society.
Therefore, although the Jade Sea Plains is not peaceful, there are still many active caravans on the plains.
“The emperor is really laughable, it’s really hard to say whether the Jade Sea Plains is still the territory of the Yuan country.” Qi Heng said.
Qi Shaorong’s eyes darkened. The Jade Sea Plains was originally the territory of the Yuan country. However, after several invasions from the sea tribes, the Yuan country was unable to send troops to pacify the chaos. The people on the Jade Sea Plains declared independence. After a period of independence, the independent regime disintegrated on its own.
Because it is really dangerous over there, many civilians have died and been injured, and many have moved away.
The people who are active on the Jade Sea Plains today are no longer from the Yuan country.
Although the Jade Sea Plains belongs to the Yuan country in name, in fact, the Yuan Emperor has no control over this territory at all.
“Young Master, did you know, the ten seigneurs who were sent there did not live past ten years. Therefore, the Jade Sea Plains is also known as the Land of the Nemesis.”
“The last one died eight years ago, and in these eight years, because the Han people are willing to take over the position of the seigneur of the Jade Sea Plain, this position has been vacant.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Heng and said, “All that you said, I already know……”
“Young Master, you can refuse it!”
Qi Shaorong smiled and said: “Since the emperor has come to dread me, you can’t escape by hiding.”
Qi Heng narrowed his eyes and said, “The emperor has gone over the line.”
Qi Shaorong grinned and said: “Speaking of which, I am also very interested in the Jade Sea Plains. Even if the emperor didn’t arrange it, I would still like to go.”
Qi Shaorong held his chin. In his previous life, the sea was rich in products and there were all kinds of sea fish. The sea in this life isn’t the same as the previous life.
It is said that the human race was born from the sea. Some people went ashore and became human, and some people stayed in the water and became aquarians. In order to adapt to life in the sea, some aquarians grew tails, some grew fish scales, some grew shells…… and more in various directions.
And in this world, there is a kind of pill, called water avoidance pill. After eating this pill, you can breathe in the water, stay in the water for a long time, and the human race can mix into the sea clan to live.
“Young Master, what are you going to do in the sea?” Qi Heng asked.
“I heard that the sea tribes are more powerful than the human tribes. If it wasn’t because sea tribes were inseparable from water, the mainland would have been swept away by the sea tribes.” Qi Shaorong smiled and said. “It is said that many specialties of the sea tribes can help improve their strength.”
Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong, and smiled bitterly, “Young master, you really… let me accompany you this time.”
Qi Shaorong nodded, “Okay! Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan are newlyweds, not suitable for long-distance travel, and the business of Allure Cosmetics needs their attention.”
…………
There was a knock on the door, and Zhuang Hao walked into the room.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said, “You are here!”
Zhuang Hao looked at the edict beside Qi Shaorong, and frowned, “Can you show me that thing?”
“Of course.” Qi Shaorong threw the edict into Zhuang Hao’s hands.
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Do you understand the situation in the Jade Sea Plains?”
Qi Shaorong nodded, “I have a general understanding.”
Zhuang Hao took a deep breath and said, “Many people assigned to the Jade Sea Plains have died differently. In fact, most of them offended certain forces on the Jade Sea Plains and died of assassination.”
“Then is there one that lives……”
Zhuang Hao folded his arms, “Some seigneurs will lower their stance when they get there and join a local force, that way they will be able to live longer.”
“Sounds very dangerous!” said Qi Shaorong.
Zhuang Hao nodded, “En, if you are going to take office in Jade Sea Plains, I will accompany you.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and asked with great interest: “I am going to be a seigneur, Young Master Zhuang Hao, what status are you going to use to go with me?”
Zhuang Hao raised his head, looked at Qi Shaorong, and smiled, “If you don’t mind, my Lord, I will go there as the captain of the Lord’s guards. Do you think it’s feasible?”
Qi Shaorong nodded, “Alright.”
Bi Liuyun opened the door and walked in, shaking his fan, and said, “I heard that Young Master is going to the seaside, I also want to go.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “If you come with me, what about Luohua Pavilion?”
“I’ll leave it to Tingxuan to take care of it!” Bi Liuyun said as a matter of course.
Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun, and rolled his eyes, “You hand over the management of the song and dance to facial paralysis Tingxuan! When you come back, you can definitely sell the place for a good price.”
Bi Liuyun patted Qi Shaorong on the shoulder and said, “Young master, don’t underestimate Tingxuan! It doesn’t matter if you have facial paralysis, you just need to look good. Besides, Young Master, don’t you know that facial paralysis is popular recently.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
“Young Master, when are you planning to leave?” Bi Liuyun asked.
“In the edict, I was asked to take office within three months. I want to go there early to understand the situation, so I want to hand over the things at hand and leave in a few days.” Qi Shaorong thought: If he goes earlier, he can conceal his identity and examine the situation.
Bi Liuyun nodded and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll deal with the matter at hand, then follow Young Master.”
