132: They were so busy enjoying themselves that they forgot they had parents.

..."Jia! Jia! Jia!"

"Who goes there!"

"A decree has arrived! Quickly invite the Prince of Jingjiang to come out and receive the decree!"

In a short while, the Prince of Jingjiang walked out together with his wife and the Heir Apparent.

Qin Dong was not to be outdone and brought Wang Wantang along to join the excitement.

"These two must be the elite Disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect; they truly are heroic youths!"

"Should the two of us kneel as well?"

"No need to kneel, elite Disciples, no need to kneel."

Accompanied by a chorus of knees hitting the ground, the surrounding people all knelt down, and then the Decree Official began the solemn proclamation.

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"

"The Prince of Jingjiang is hereby appointed as the deputy general of the Third Army. In one day's time, lead the direct male and female able-bodied members of your household to the encampment of the Third Army at the front line."

"To assist in suppressing the chaos of the Three Kingdoms. Respect this."

"This official accepts the decree."

The Prince of Jingjiang respectfully received the decree, a smile hanging on his face.

Qin Dong, watching all this, was preparing to take Wang Wantang back to her room to check her body.

Suddenly, the Prince of Jingjiang approached with an excited expression, repeatedly calling him 'Worthy Son-in-law'.

Qin Dong originally didn't want to pay him any mind, but seeing him calling out 'Worthy Son-in-law' over and over made Qin Dong feel embarrassed. He had no choice but to send Wang Wantang away first and ask what the man actually wanted.

"Worthy Son-in-law, please come to my study; I have matters to discuss with you."

Qin Dong glanced at him and saw that his smile was incredibly radiant.

"Fine, lead the way quickly."

In a short while, the two of them entered an elegantly decorated study.

Shortly after, they walked into a study that was decorated with elegance and grace.

Qin Dong looked around, his gaze falling on the main seat. He walked over slowly, flicked his sleeve, and sat down diagonally with a flourish.

With one foot resting on the edge of the desk, he looked perfectly composed.

"Old father-in-law, if you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm still in a hurry to check your daughter's body."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault, all my fault!"

As the Prince of Jingjiang spoke, he actually knelt down with a smooth 'thud'.

He slapped himself hard twice on the face, a sight that was simply dumbfounding.

This scene made Qin Dong freeze for a moment before he regained his composure.

In his heart, he couldn't help but marvel: Wang Wantang and this old father-in-law were practically identical; there was no doubt they were biological father and daughter.

If they weren't, he, Qin Dong, would eat this desk—and without any dipping sauce at that.

"Alright, stand up and talk."

"As you command! Worthy Son-in-law."

"Speak, what is it?"

Then, the Prince of Jingjiang's expression changed, and with a shift of his body, he appeared behind Qin Dong.

He struck out boldly and... began to gently massage Qin Dong's back.

"Worthy Son-in-law, for this expedition, I ask that you lend me a helping hand."

"If I can achieve unprecedented merit, I will be able to take a further step up the ladder."

"When that time comes, our whole family will be so happy."

"What? You're already a Prince; do you really still want to..."

"Worthy Son-in-law is truly brilliant and has divine foresight."

The Prince of Jingjiang immediately laughed even more happily; his only real hobby was his lust for power.

"I know the rules of the Nine Sects, so there's no need for Worthy Son-in-law to show his face."

"I only need to secretly borrow Worthy Son-in-law's reputation, and this 'Little Father-in-law' will take action to recruit some followers."

"What does Worthy Son-in-law think?"

"When the time comes, there will naturally be countless resources!"

"Funding will be allocated per head—ten Spirit Stones each! We'll use the official accounts and split it fifty-fifty!"

Qin Dong was starting to feel a bit tempted and was just about to agree.

Suddenly, he saw the Prince of Jingjiang's expression sour slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with how readily Qin Dong was agreeing.

Agreeing so readily!

Where was the arrogant and overbearing spirit of a sect Disciple?

Unsatisfactory!

With a loud 'bang', Qin Dong slapped the desk.

"You bastard!"

"Are you ordering me to do things?!"

He then kicked the desk over, sending documents, brushes, and ink scattering everywhere.

Seeing this, the Prince of Jingjiang was not angry.

Instead, his face lit up with wild joy, and the corners of his mouth curled up so high they were harder to suppress than an AK's muzzle rise.

That's it! That's it!

This is the feeling!

Immediately after, he called out 'Worthy Son-in-law' again and again.

Ultimately, under the Prince of Jingjiang's 'earnest' persuasion, Qin Dong 'reluctantly' agreed.

"Fine, you can leave now. I'm going to check your daughter's body."

"As you command, Worthy Son-in-law."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, the Prince of Jingjiang skipped out of the study.

Laughing like a sixty or seventy-year-old child... Qin Dong had just stepped into Wantang's bedroom and was preparing to show off his skills.

Suddenly, a faint humming sound rang out.

Then, a bright light flashed in his hand—it was a message from Qin Zixuan.

Qin Dong didn't dare to delay; he quickly took it out and performed a hand seal.

Lines of text immediately appeared before his eyes.

It wasn't anything urgent, just Qin Zixuan sharing various interesting anecdotes from her travels.

There were mainly three things.

The first was that while she and her Revered Master were traveling, they accidentally discovered a Secret Realm that had just opened.

This Secret Realm was no ordinary place; Cultivators above the Golden Core Realm could not enter at all.

Even more surprising was that this turned out to be another site of the Senluo Heavenly Sect that had emerged several years ago.

This ruin was also not simple; it was a scattered treasure hall of the Senluo Heavenly Sect, containing a large number of treasures.

The appearance of the Secret Realm caused countless Cultivators to pour in frantically. After a series of fierce battles, four Cultivators ultimately returned fully loaded.

Needless to say, Qin Zixuan was one of them, and the remaining three were:

A Cultivator wrapped tightly in a black cloak.

An Outer Sect Disciple of the Cloud Heaven Sect named Ye Chenyi.

And an unidentified female Cultivator, though it was clear that Ye Chenyi and that female Cultivator were together.

Among these people, Qin Zixuan had the easiest time.

The black-cloaked Cultivator was the most insidious, having quietly snatched Opportunities more than ten times while others were fighting, making everyone gnash their teeth in hatred.

But his style was extremely cautious and his actions were flawless, making it difficult for anyone to catch him.

Meanwhile, Ye Chenyi and that strange female Cultivator were truly pitiable; they were even carrying the keys to the deep-level treasury.

The two of them became the targets of everyone's pursuit, and they were covered in heavy injuries even when they escaped the Secret Realm.

As for Qin Zixuan, Qin Dong was very much at ease.

Perhaps influenced by Qin Dong's multiple personas and caution, she used the alias Ziqin in the Secret Realm.

Under his guidance, the number of Cultivation Techniques Qin Zixuan had perfectly comprehended was as many as fifteen.

Setting aside the quantity, just having several Earth-Tier Techniques put her miles ahead of her peers.

While everyone else was still using Yellow Rank and Profound Rank, Qin Zixuan was already using Heaven Rank and Earth-Tier Techniques.

As a result, fighting Cultivators of her generation was as easy as beating children, and she truly made a name for herself during this Secret Realm journey.

The second thing was that she successfully concocted three Beauty Preserving Pills, so everyone could have one when the time came!!!

Qin Dong smiled; below this message was a doodle she had drawn, clearly showing that this matter made her the happiest.

However, upon seeing the third thing, Qin Dong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

This third thing was that Qin Zixuan had made a trip back to Huangxuan City and visited the Qin Family.

Oh no, I was so busy enjoying myself that I forgot I had a father and mother.

I really am terrible!
