211: New rules

[The sixth month,]

[Recently, you have been Cultivating the "Slave Contract" secret technique while keeping an eye on the movements of the Tianhuang Continent, and simultaneously paying attention to news from the Immortal Domain.]

[Today, you stand on the top floor of the Tianxiang Pavilion in Longyang Town, looking at the bustling streets below, lost in thought.]

[Clumsy is lying on your shoulder, its eyes half-open and half-closed, looking cute as it tries to stay awake while wanting to sleep.]

[Fragrant Lord Qiao and Ye Wuhen stand respectfully beside you.]

[Because you have never revealed your true identity, very few people in the Tianhuang Continent know that you are the person behind the Fengyun Pavilion Master.]

[Because every time you appear in public, you use the "Illusionary Form Technique" to change your appearance.]

[You look at Longyang Town; now the streets and alleys here are crowded with people.]

[Outside the city, from all directions, streams of people are pouring into Longyang Town like ant colonies; everywhere you look, there are bobbing heads.]

[Especially the square in front of the "Reception Hall", it is packed with people, impenetrable.]

[These people come from various Dynasties, from noble families and royalty down to commoners, all gathered here.]

[The influx of so many people into Longyang Town has kept your father very busy lately — he is building restaurants on the land of the Qin Family.]

[Not only that, the original residents of Longyang Town have also made a fortune because of this.]

["Pavilion Master, there are really too many people coming to the Reception Hall to test their Spiritual Root, and Longyang Town can no longer accommodate them. Should we set up strongholds in other Dynasties?" Ye Wuhen asked for instructions.]

["No need, just use Longyang Town as the center and build a square and a Reception Hall in each of the eight directions outside the city." You ordered calmly.]

["This subordinate understands!" Ye Wuhen respectfully accepted the order.]

[At this moment, you suddenly received a sound transmission from Qin Yu —]

["Brother, Father is looking for you!"]

["What's the matter?" You responded via sound transmission.]

["It's not because the Reception Hall is located in Longyang Town, many powerful families have taken a fancy to our Qin residence and want to buy it at a high price." Qin Yu's tone was helpless.]

["These people are so annoying, coming to our house every day to buy the mansion. Why don't we let Fengyun Pavilion step in to solve it for Father?" She continued transmitting.]

["No, that would be even more troublesome. By then, people from the entire Tianhuang Continent would come to disturb our parents, and you and I would also be entangled in trivial matters; how could we still Cultivate in peace?" You replied calmly.]

[In fact, your father has indeed been very worried lately; he has already rejected more than a hundred purchase requests from various forces, Dynasties, and powerful figures.]

[However, no one dares to be presumptuous in Longyang Town; after all, the Tianhuang Continent is so big, why is the Reception Hall specifically in Longyang Town?]

["Then hurry back, Father is waiting for you!" Qin Yu urged.]

[You soon returned to the Qin residence.]

[Just as you walked into the hall, you saw Meng Wenbin sitting in the living room with a luxuriously dressed Young Master.]

[Seeing you come in, Qin Xiuwen said sternly: "Why are you so lacking in manners? Why don't you greet Uncle Meng Wenbin?"]

[You immediately bowed to Meng Wenbin: "Greetings, Uncle Meng Wenbin."]

[Meng Wenbin smiled and nodded, pointing to the Young Master beside him and introducing: "This is the Crown Prince of the Chu Dynasty, Chu Ming. He has taken a fancy to the Qin Family residence, so..."]

[Chu Ming interrupted him directly: "That's right, your house is in a good location. I'll pay one million taels, sell it to me."]

[Upon learning that the visitor was Chu Ming, you couldn't help but frown slightly.]

[You naturally knew this number one playboy of the Chu Dynasty.]

[In the end, he is just a spoiled prince; although he acts ostentatiously, he is not inherently an evil person.]

[From a certain perspective, he is quite similar to you back then — both love to play and show off in front of others.]

[However, you are no longer the same as you were, and you have long since lost interest in such people. As long as he doesn't cross the line, you can't be bothered to pay attention to him.]

[What's more, Chu Tianqi is now also a member of the Fengyun Pavilion.]

[However, Chu Tianqi has been in seclusion for many years, and Chu Ming, this playboy descendant, has almost never seen this Old Ancestor Chu Tianqi — after all, there are several generations between them.]

[Qin Yu shouted impatiently: "Not for sale, not for sale, leave quickly! I wouldn't sell it even for one hundred million!"]

["Ten million taels!" Chu Ming held up a finger.]

["I said it's not for sale, can't you understand?" Qin Yu frowned.]

[Qin Xiuwen glared at Qin Yu: "Yu'er, shut up! Who let you be so rude?"]

[Chu Ming sneered: "Little girl, if it weren't for being in Longyang Town, I would have to teach you some manners."]

[Qin Yu smiled faintly: "Fengyun Pavilion has just established new rules: in Longyang Town, forced buying and selling is prohibited, and fighting is also prohibited. Violators will have their three generations of relatives executed. You should weigh it yourself."]

["Nonsense! As the Magistrate of this town, why don't I know about this rule?" Meng Wenbin shouted loudly.]

[Just at this moment —]

[A guard ran in, sweating profusely, and reported to Meng Wenbin breathlessly:]

["Meng Wenbin... Meng Wenbin Lord, just... just now Lord Ye Wuhen of the Fengyun Pavilion personally posted a notice at the Reception Hall —"]

["It says that forced buying and selling is prohibited in Longyang Town, fighting is prohibited, and violators will have their three generations of relatives executed!"]

[After hearing this, you immediately asked Qin Yu via sound transmission: "Did you ask Ye Wuhen to do this?"]

[Qin Yu blinked at you and transmitted to you: "Yes, otherwise I would be annoyed to death by these people."]

[Meng Wenbin stared at Qin Yu with wide eyes: "You... you have inside information?"]

[Chu Ming also immediately put on a smiling face: "Great-Aunt, I was just joking with you just now, please don't take it to heart."]

[Qin Xiuwen looked at Qin Yu suspiciously: "Yu'er, what is going on?"]

[Qin Yu said with a grin: "Yesterday I went to participate in the new Disciple assessment at the Reception Hall, and it turned out that I have a Low Grade pseudo-Spiritual Root, so I was accepted as a Utility Disciple of the Fengyun Pavilion. I happened to hear about this matter in the Pavilion, and I didn't expect them to officially release the notice today."]

[Qin Xiuwen stood up abruptly, trembling with excitement: "Yu... Yu'er... you... you really became a Disciple of the Fengyun Pavilion?"]

["Of course, could I lie to you!" Qin Yu pouted and said.]

["The ancestors have opened their eyes! The ancestors have opened their eyes! Our Qin Family is going to produce a true Dragon!" Qin Xiuwen looked at Qin Yu excitedly.]

[Meng Wenbin's eyes rolled, and he looked at Qin Xiuwen with a grin: "Brother Qin, regarding the matter I mentioned to you, look..."]

["Are you talking about the marriage between Acting Pavilion Master Meng Duoduo and my son Qin Chen?" Qin Xiuwen asked.]

["No, it's the marriage between my son Meng Hao and Qin Yu." Meng Wenbin said excitedly.]

[He added hurriedly: "As for my daughter Acting Pavilion Master Meng Duoduo, she can marry you as a concubine, wouldn't that be a double happiness?!"]

["Get lost!" Qin Yu roared, her face turning gloomy instantly, "Fengyun Pavilion has just set a new rule: once you become a Disciple, marriage is prohibited!"]

["Ah —!?" Meng Wenbin opened his mouth wide, "How could they set such a rule?"]
