195: The family rebuilt

Compared to the original ones, the layout and arrangement of various functional rooms in these buildings were basically similar, but each courtyard had increased in size by nearly half compared to its original area.

Furthermore, the original single-story courtyards became three stories, and those that were originally four or five stories became five or six stories.

Perhaps the "Golden Armored Jade Pupil Beast" had gained more experience in building houses lately, so the Chu Family Residence it constructed now was both fast and well-made.

It even added some clever touches, sketching various exquisite murals or reliefs on the walls and door pillars of courtyards with different functions.

In about two hours, a new residence, half as large as the original Chu Family Residence, was built.

Only then did Wu Yuan gently wave his hand, and the usable items remaining from the original Chu Family Residence slowly descended onto the square in front of the new residence.

Most of them were furniture, books, and some home decorations, the most special of which were the dozens of somewhat uneasy "Moon Worshipping Rabbits" and "Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbits."

The "Azure Wolves" and "Fanged Wolves" that had been bred were much calmer than the two types of rabbits, quietly gathering together as if waiting for their Wolf Lord.

More unfortunate were the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish" that had successfully delayed some time by creating illusory mist; they had suffered various degrees of injury.

The "Myriad Flower Butterfly Spirit" flew out according to Chu Shengfan's will, scattering medicinal powder. The injuries on these Jellyfish were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for the severed tentacles, there was no need for much concern; after all, these were regenerative for the "Colorful Cloud Jellyfish," it just required a bit of time.

Of course, there were also various spiritual materials placed in the treasury, medicinal herbs just gathered from the fields, and a large number of glittering Origin Rune Stones and Source Spirit Stone.

As assets accumulated by the Chu Family during this time, most of them were preserved.

The palace floating in the air slowly descended, and all the Chu Family Members walked out of the palace. Looking at the brand-new Chu Family Residence, their expressions were somewhat complex, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Although the residence had been built, the various courtyards still needed to be tidied and arranged. The "Cangyi Wolf Lord" appeared beside Chu Qinhui and then led the wolf pack down the mountain to gather the Chu Family servants to tidy up the courtyards.

As for the crowd, they first returned to the Central Hall. After a simple cleanup, it served as a temporary reception room.

Regarding this, as a Domain Rank powerhouse, Wu Yuan had no dissatisfaction, but he sincerely believed in his heart that such an arrangement was truly unworthy of his Little Palace Master's status.

From this, it could be seen that Wu Yuan was a person with extremely high requirements for pomp and circumstance; it was unknown whether he had experienced something in this regard before.

Of the Qinghan Palace's honor guard for Chu Shengfan, only Wu Yuan, Su Yi, and the eight Spirit Rank Upper Stage servants were able to enter the Chu Family Residence.

The other forty-eight stayed in the square. Chu Shengfan also told them they could move freely and visit the town, but except for one or two who followed Chu Shengfan's suggestion, the rest quietly guarded the surroundings of the palace.

At this moment, in the Chu Family's Central Hall, there were Chu Jingyu, Wu Yuan, Chu Shengfan, Chu Shengyuan, Chu Shenghan, and Jiang Nian, plus Su Yi standing behind Chu Shengfan.

As for Chu Qinhui, he had gone down to Qixia Town. After all, these townspeople who had just moved here had suddenly encountered such a situation, and they still needed someone in charge to comfort them.

"The guest house is simple; I hope you won't mind," Chu Jingyu said to Wu Yuan, who was sitting opposite him.

He had originally wanted Wu Yuan to take the main seat, but Wu Yuan believed that only Chu Shengfan was entitled to it; however, since Chu Shengfan was a junior in the Family, in the end, no one sat in the main seat, and they simply sat facing each other.

Regarding Chu Jingyu's words, Wu Yuan nodded inwardly but appeared very calm on the surface. "It's fine. Given the special circumstances, I can understand."

What he was thinking, however, was that if he had known, he would have brought several more sets of furniture to avoid the Little Palace Master having to use furniture made of such ordinary wood in the future.

Wu Yuan now felt like he was raising a child, and it wasn't like raising a son, but more like raising a daughter, feeling that Chu Shengfan deserved only the best of everything.

"Thank you, Senior Wu, for your help today, which allowed the Chu Family to pass through this calamity safely."

Wu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. "The one you should thank is the Little Palace Master. Alright, the Little Palace Master hasn't been home for a long time, and you all must have many things to say. I'll go for a walk nearby first."

"Little Palace Master, if anything happens, just look for Xiao Dian."

Saying this, he stood up, a spatial crack tore open in front of him, and he vanished with a single step.

As for the "Xiao Dian" he mentioned, it was a palm-sized ice lotus with layers of lotus petals that had appeared on the table nearby at some unknown time.

"Age-Heart Lotus."

It was a type of Spirit Rank Upper Stage ice lotus. It was said that this kind of ice lotus was rare, and its skill performance among those of the same rank was excellent, but it was also difficult to find an opportunity for a Breakthrough. It was one of Wu Yuan's two Spirit Rank Source Beasts.

Through it, messages could be sent to Wu Yuan, and it could also provide accurate coordinates. If there was danger, he could tear through space and arrive in time.

After Wu Yuan left, the eyes of all the Chu Family Members fell on Chu Shengfan, wanting to know exactly what had happened to him during the time he was away from home.

Returning now with such a large team, the Chu Family naturally wanted to know the cause and effect.

Seeing this, Su Yi knew the Chu Family wanted a private conversation, so she bowed slightly and quietly retreated outside the door, guarding the courtyard together with the other eight Spirit Rank Upper Stage Contract Masters.

Looking at the several pairs of inquisitive eyes, Chu Shengfan helplessly began from when he and Grandpa Sun left their hometown, roughly describing his experiences along the way.

Of course, he hid some things in these descriptions, such as the matter of being planted with a human fruit seed. Since this hidden danger had not been completely resolved, he didn't want to say it and cause his Family unnecessary worry.

In about an hour, Chu Shengfan roughly described his experiences.

"You're saying that during a survival assessment, you were favored by your current teacher, taken as a Disciple, and then became some kind of Little Palace Master?"

Chu Shengfan nodded. "Yes, although it sounds a bit like Xuanhuan, it truly happened."

"I don't know what's so special about me that my teacher would value me so much, even providing so many guards and even having a Domain Rank powerhouse protect me on my way home."

"At least for now, that Wu Yuan seems sincere. Don't worry too much about questions you can't figure out for now; seize every opportunity to improve yourself. You came back this time to take your Family to attend your Apprenticeship Ceremony..."

Chu Jingyu pondered for a moment. "Let your parents go. I'll stay home and keep watch."
