Chapter 312: Chapter 277: Xu Mujun Returns Home

"Vast Righteous Qi?"

The few people looked at each other, as they had never heard of this name.

Yet Zheng Yi seemed to remember something, Confucianism from a past life?

"I cultivate my Vast Righteous Qi?"

The group fell silent, as Tianxingzi said, "Your Majesty, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi pervades the world, containing countless different types of Qi."

"For example, the spiritual Qi we cultivators commonly absorb, as well as Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, Nether Qi, Ghost Qi, and other various types of Qi."

"Some of these Qi are very similar to spiritual Qi, aiding cultivator’s cultivation."

"But there are also some Qi that are diametrically opposed to spiritual Qi, containing incredibly vast energy."

"Presumably, this Vast Righteous Qi is one such type."

Saying this, he looked solemnly at Wang Anshi, respectfully saying, "It is truly Great Yu’s fortune that Mr. Wang could comprehend Vast Righteous Qi during a moment of sudden enlightenment."

"In due time, Mr. Wang might even establish a sect and become a Grandmaster for generations to come!"

Wang Anshi said calmly, "Daoist Master Tianxingzi, you overpraise me. What I have done is merely my duty."

Zheng Yi directly asked, "Mr. Wang, can you freely control this Vast Righteous Qi?"

Wang Anshi shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, Vast Righteous Qi exists between heaven and earth, and I have only just come into contact with it, lacking deep understanding."

"As for how to control it, master it, or even make it my own, I am still unclear."

"I need to explore it slowly."

"Good!"

Zheng Yi stood up and said, "Regardless, Mr. Wang’s achievement is indeed a surprise for both me and Great Yu!"

"Take your time to explore this Vast Righteous Qi, I look forward to your stunning success."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It’s getting late, all beloved ministers, please return to rest."

Zheng Yi issued a dismissal order: "Fellow Daoist Xiong, you may temporarily reside in the Xu Mansion, I will arrange a mansion for you within the Capital City."

"By the way, does Fellow Daoist Xiong have any requests regarding the mansion?"

"A mansion?"

Xiong Gang said with burning eyes, "What about Celestial Longevity Mountain?"

"I heard that today, two fellow Daoists broke through on Celestial Longevity Mountain..."

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "Of course, it’s possible."

"But currently, the palace on Celestial Longevity Mountain is still under construction and not suitable for accommodation."

"There are quite a few vacant rooms at Yuelong Palace at the foot of the mountain, how about you go and choose one?"

"Yuelong Palace?"

Xiong Gang asked, puzzled, "What is that place?"

"That is the palace where I train young cultivators, and it’s also the future palace for our Great Yu’s cultivators!"

...

South of the city, Xu Mansion.

"The Grand General is back!"

"The Grand General has returned home!"

"Lady! The Grand General is back...!"

Tonight, the Xu Mansion was brightly lit, with at least a hundred various people coming out to welcome him.

House staff, maids, guards, and others.

Leading them was a noble lady holding a sturdy little boy, none other than Zhong Chun from the Shadow Guard.

It had been four years since she entered the Xu Mansion, and her and Xu Xuanwu’s child, Xu Jingzhong, was already over three years old.

At this moment, he was struggling, wide-eyed and quite interested in his surroundings.

"Jingzhong."

Zhong Chun patted his head and said, "You’ll see your grandpa later, are you happy?"

"Of course I am!"

Xu Jingzhong said excitedly, "I heard the uncles in the mansion say that grandpa is a great hero and really good at martial arts!"

"I want grandpa to teach me martial arts, so I can beat Brother Chengwu!"

"Hm~!"

Zhong Chun was startled and whispered, "Jingzhong, how can you directly call the Second Prince by name, remember to call him Second Prince from now on, understand?"

"Second Prince?"

Xu Jingzhong tilted his head and said, somewhat puzzled, "But, but Brother Chengwu told me to call him that..."

Zhong Chun said seriously, "The Second Prince lets you address him that way because of brotherly affection."

"But besides brotherhood, you also have the relationship of sovereign and subject, understand?"

Xu Jingzhong blinked, though he didn’t quite understand what his mother was saying, he still obediently nodded and said, "I understand, mother."

At this moment, a house servant quickly ran in, "Lady, the Grand General is back!"

"Quick, go greet him!"

Zhong Chun personally led Xu Jingzhong out of the Xu Mansion, only to see several figures riding horses in the distance, led by Xu Mujun.

Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of Xu Mansion.

"Daughter-in-law pays respect to father-in-law!"

"Your humble servants greet Grand General Xu!"

Zhong Chun, bowing with Xu Jingzhong, and all the house servants, guards, etc., knelt on one knee, showing military respects to Xu Mujun.

"Arise, everyone!"

Xu Mujun dismounted, lifting them with a slight gesture.

He then quickly approached Zhong Chun and said, "Chun’er, you too may rise."

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

"Is this my beloved grandson?"

Xu Mujun, looking down at Xu Jingzhong, said, "Lift your head so I can have a good look!"

Xu Jingzhong, not shy, raised his head and looked at Xu Mujun, his eyes full of admiration.

"Jingzhong greets grandpa!"

"Hahaha~!"

Xu Mujun laughed heartily and lifted Xu Jingzhong up for a closer look, never seeming to get enough.

"Brother Xiong! Come take a look at my grandson, Xu Mujun’s grandson, hahaha!"

At this moment, Zhong Chun noticed behind Xu Mujun stood a burly man, exuding an imposing aura, causing her to be subtly moved.

Could this person, addressing her father-in-law as brother, be a master of the Martial Dao too?

Xiong Gang gazed at Xu Jingzhong for a few moments, then laughed heartily, "Brother Xu, what great fortune you have! This child’s courage is remarkable, standing firm even under my gaze, his resolve so strong from such a young age, who knows what great things he might achieve when he grows up?"

Saying this, he patted his storage pouch, revealing a gleaming, approximately three-inch long, sharp wolf fang in his hand.

"In my haste, I brought no gift, so let this serve as a meeting present."

Seeing this wolf fang, Xu Jingzhong’s eyes immediately lit up.

But he still looked at Zhong Chun, "Mother, can I take it?"

Zhong Chun looked towards Xu Mujun and said, "Everything listens to father-in-law."

Xu Mujun glanced at the Wolf Fang Saber, "Brother Xiong, this isn’t a magical artifact, is it?"

"Of course not."

Xiong Gang replied candidly, "Magical artifacts contain magical power and are dangerous for mortals to touch; unexpected incidents could easily occur."

"This item came from a Tier One Demon Beast, a ’Gale Demon Wolf,’ and has effects of warding off evil, pacifying spirits, and subduing demons."

"It’s just perfect for the young lord."

Xu Mujun immediately nodded, "Jingzhong, thank Grandpa Xiong!"

Xu Jingzhong immediately took the wolf fang, excitedly saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Xiong!"

"Hahaha~"

Xiong Gang laughed, "Who would have thought I, Xiong Gang, would have a grandson, hahahaha..."

Xu Mujun turned and said, "You can return now. Once I’ve settled matters at the mansion, I will report to the Cabinet."

"Yes, Grand General, then we shall take our leave!"

The dozen or so Imperial Guards who escorted Xu Mujun back saluted respectfully, then turned and left.

While Xu Mujun waved his hand commandingly, "Return to the mansion!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
