...
Spring cos and winter goes, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
In the spring of the year 3184 of the Daqian Qinglongchang Calendar.
Qeng’an County.
In the Qeng’an Basin, fertile plains stretch for thousands of miles, surrounded by green waters, known as the "land of fish and rice" within the Daqian Realm. Consequently, the dining industry here is trendously developed.
Outside the Commandery of Qeng’an, there is an estate nad "Qiengya Residence."
This gastronomic estate occupies a vast area, integrating dining and lodging, with distinctive features, and it is quite renowned throughout Qeng’an County. It even attracts diners from other counties.
Many Black Tortoise Cultivators journeying to Qeng’an County from other counties, if they wish to savor the cuisine of Qeng’an County, find Qiengya Residence a must-visit place.
The fa of this place is evident from this.
However, Qiengya Residence is not a property of the first Noble Family of Qeng’an County, the Zuoqiu Family, but rather of Royal Relatives, King Cheng’s estate.
Although to King Cheng, this might be a minor asset of little significance, it is the backing of the Prince Cheng’s Mansion that allows Qiengya Residence to stand firm in Qeng’an County and compete with other such gourt estates.
On this particular day,
Shopkeeper Xuu Qiengbo of Qiengya Residence was sitting behind the counter at the entrance, idly calculating accounts, when suddenly a clear cry ca from the sky.
He looked up to see a Flying Chariot drawn by a giant white bird approaching from a distance.
The giant bird pulling the chariot was pure white, with a color as translucent as fresh snow, and an elegant deanor filled with Spiritual Rhy, making it easily recognizable.
"Jade Claw White Crane?" Xuu Qiengbo was surprised, "People of the Zuoqiu Family?"
The Jade Claw White Crane is a Tier Four Spiritual Bird, and it is a unique spirit bird species in Qeng’an County. And here in Qeng’an County, only the Zuoqiu Family has the financial resources to breed Jade Claw White Cranes to drive Flying Chariots.
As he spoke, the Flying Chariot had already spiraled down and landed on the plaza at the entrance of the estate.
Soon after, the door of the Flying Chariot was opened, and two middle-aged n with Jade Crowns and dressed in gorgeous clothing stepped out one after the other.
One of the middle-aged n looked older, with many fine lines at the corners of his eyes, showing so signs of aging. The other appeared much younger but bore so resemblance to the older man, indicating a clear blood relationship.
The two did not deliberately exude any might, but their steps were calm and unhurried, with an extraordinary deanor, clearly not ordinary individuals.
Recognizing the visitors, Xuu Qiengbo quickly put down the abacus and took a few quick steps to greet them: "Two Elder Ancestors, what wind blew you two here today?"
It turned out that these two were the first Ancestor and third Ancestor of the Qeng’an Zuoqiu Family, Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua, both formidable strongn of the Purple Mansion Realm.
As the shopkeeper of Qiengya Residence, he often had to deal with various prominent figures. Naturally, he could not fail to recognize the most elite group of experts in Qeng’an County.
"We are here to et a guest." Seeing Zuoqiu Deye had no intention to speak, Zuoqiu Zhenghua waved his hand dismissively, "Go about your business~ don’t mind us. Also, send your best food and wine to the Cyan Bamboo Courtyard, and charge it to our Zuoqiu Family’s account. Off you go~"
After speaking, the two walked into the estate and soon reached its depths.
As for Xuu Qiengbo, he naturally paid his respects and saw them off.
anwhile, Zuoqiu Zhenghua hadn’t quite figured out what was happening today.
"Grandpa Zeng, you are, after all, the first Ancestor of our Qeng’an Zuoqiu Family, of esteed status. Is it really necessary to be so cautious? Could the visitor be a Divine Power Zhenren?" Seeing no one around, he transmitted a ssage to his own Grandpa Zeng.
"What do you know?" Zuoqiu Deye glanced at him, also transmitting a ssage, "The visitor today, although not a Divine Power Zhenren, is a Great Celestial Pride of the Lingyun Sacred Land, destined to beco a Divine Power Zhenren in the future. If fortunate, he might even lead the Sacred Land, becoming one of the two most powerful figures in Daqian."
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing this, Zuoqiu Zhenghua imdiately felt a sense of awe.
Although both are in the Purple Mansion Realm, a Great Celestial Pride signifies not only stronger combat capabilities but also greater potential, not to ntion this Great Celestial Pride is backed by a giant like the Lingyun Sacred Land, naturally placing him in a different standing than ordinary Purple Mansion Realms.
He cautiously asked, "I vaguely heard of the fa of the few Great Celestial Prides in the Sacred Land. Which one might this be?"
"His compound surna is Gongyang, and his na is just ’Ce’, titled ’Profound Mist’, you may call him ’Master Xuanmiao’ or ’Young Master Ce’" Zuoqiu Deye explained, "When you et him later, rember to be respectful, we would rather humble ourselves than ever offend this individual."
"Rest assured, Grandpa Zeng, Zhenghua knows the importance."
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the Cyan Bamboo Courtyard.
Using the invitation card obtained in advance to clear the Restriction, the two pushed open the courtyard door and entered, instantly seeing the three people in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Among the three, one was seated while the others stood. On either side stood two won, solemnly respectful and seemingly submissive. In the center sat a young man in white attire.
He was tall with a face like jade and an elegant deanor, without a single flaw in appearance.
His aura was far more outstanding than that of the two won standing by his sides. It was a kind of composure emanating from within, a confidence and indifference built upon countless successes, as if nothing in this world could trouble him.
With such aura and presence, the identity of this young man in white was evident.
