Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 153 : Marquis

With Xue Kai's kneeling, the surrounding soldiers were even more dumbfounded. Where did this young man, who claimed to be a governor, come from?

They had never heard of him before.

"Alright." Fang Yuan nodded. "Let's do it as I said."

"Understood!" Xue Kai gritted his teeth and replied, then stood up to leave. Since he had trusted the other party, he decided to trust him completely.

But soon, someone spoke up with a question: "This governor, may we take a look at your inspection seal? It's not that we don't believe you, we just want to see it with our own eyes."

The person was so young, even with the seal, they found it hard to believe.

"Fang Zongshi is indeed the new governor!" Before Fang Yuan could respond, a voice sounded from the inner hall. It was Jiang Tao who had walked out. "Just now, the town's pacification envoy gave Fang Zongshi the inspection seal. I witnessed it with my own eyes!"

Jiang Tao had guessed that Fang Yuan had come out to handle this matter. After all, Fang Yuan had been eager to assist other provinces even when he was in Yongnan Province.

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers present felt as though their heads had been struck by a heavy hammer. They were all dizzy.

Jiang Tao was the general of Yongnan Province, so he wouldn't joke around. The way he addressed the young man was... Fang Zongshi!

Not far away, Xue Kai had an ecstatic expression on his face!

So this absurd dream was real!

He had really brought a master back to his hometown!

"Fang Daren, we'll see each other again later, don't forget me!" Xue Kai bowed again toward Fang Yuan and then rushed out of the Southern Town Pacification Bureau like a gust of wind.

"Paying respects to Governor Fang!" The others reacted quickly and immediately cupped their fists toward Fang Yuan.

"Mm." Fang Yuan nodded with the air of authority, responding lightly, and then said, "If you encounter any demons you can't deal with during your service, you can come to me. I can help you all."

The soldiers looked at each other and immediately became enthusiastic:

"I have one!"

"Fang Daren, I have one, I have one!"

"Fang Daren, Ning'an Province requests to march!"

...

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of Yan Kingdom.

Emperor Yanwen was holding a communication jade slip in his hand, and his usually calm eyes were now filled with an uncontrollable shock.

The attendant beside him, Liu Dong, had never seen His Majesty express such an emotion.

What in the world could possibly astonish this person who had lived for thousands of years?!

"Liu Dong..." Emperor Yanwen suddenly spoke.

"Your servant is here."

"Do you think there can be a teenage master...?" the emperor asked.

Such a question?

"Impossible, that's truly far-fetched," Liu Dong replied.

"But my son Tianqi just sent a message saying that there is a young master named Fang Yuan who helped the Southern Province Pacification Bureau eliminate all demons within the region, and now he's seeking credit from me," Emperor Yanwen sighed deeply.

Liu Dong was instantly stunned, his reaction even more extreme than the emperor's.

Because he was very familiar with that name... Fang Yuan!

"How is that possible!" Liu Dong trembled with excitement.

"Hm?" Emperor Yanwen turned his gaze toward him.

"Your servant reports, that Fang Yuan is likely a disciple of Marquis Chongwu!" Liu Dong said anxiously.

"Exactly." Emperor Yanwen nodded. "My son said the same."

After hearing this confirmation, Liu Dong was even more frightened. "But, Your Majesty, the last time I went to deliver the imperial decree to Marquis Chongwu with the Fourteenth Prince, Fang Yuan was only at the Fourth Stage!"

The Fourth Stage... How could he possibly have risen to the level of a master in such a short time?!

This was something that only happened in myths...

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yanwen closed his eyes, his mind swirling with shock.

If he had not already formulated an ambitious plan and worked for thousands of years toward it, seeing success just within reach, he would have tried to possess this Fang Yuan, even if it meant giving up his own dragon bloodline.

There was no other choice; Fang Yuan's performance was just too extraordinary.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Liu Dong suddenly recalled something. "If that's the case, then the Third Prince was indeed devoured by Fang Yuan!"

Previously, he had always wondered who the culprit behind the Third Prince's death was. Now the real culprit had appeared, brazenly walking into the capital!

This person must have regarded the Third Prince as a demon and stewed him along with other demons!

"It must have been him." Emperor Yanwen nodded, lamenting, "Poor my third son... He didn't join me in the glorious evolution, yet he was eaten by someone else in a muddled way."

"Your Majesty, should we summon him to the palace and then..." Liu Dong suggested.

Emperor Yanwen fell into deep thought. After a moment, he shook his head. "No need. Even if we do it, it cannot be done by me."

A teenage master... It sounded too absurd, someone like that must be the reincarnation of an extraordinary strongman!

How could he have achieved such feats with just talent, sweat, and hard work?

Emperor Yanwen didn't believe it.

For someone like that, who must have a hidden agenda, the emperor wasn't even confident he could control him through spiritual energy as he had done with Marquis Chongwu.

His grand plan was about to succeed; he couldn't afford any more complications. The boat had already sailed for eight thousand years—he couldn't let it capsize at the final moment.

At this moment, the emperor reached a mutual understanding with Fang Yuan: both were facing a prodigy and an ancient demon, and both decided to wait it out for now.

"Liu Dong, go personally and issue a decree on my behalf to Fang Yuan," Emperor Yanwen ordered.

"As you command..." Liu Dong quickly replied.

...

At the Southern Town Pacification Bureau, as the soldiers eagerly signed up, Fang Yuan immediately asked them to organize all the matters according to priority and submit them to him.

The demons within Yan Kingdom no longer posed any threat to him. He didn't even need to act personally; his Yin God could handle it for him.

The soldiers were busy with their tasks when suddenly a group of guests arrived at the Pacification Bureau.

The chief eunuch Liu Dong, along with accompanying personnel from the Ministry of Rites.

"The imperial decree has arrived! Please, Master Fang Yuan, receive the decree!"

Before they arrived, the voice reached them first. The soldiers immediately knelt, but Fang Yuan remained standing straight.

He had not bowed last time, and he certainly wouldn't this time.

Moreover, as a master, Fang Yuan was already among the top combat forces in the world and didn't need to bow to anyone, not even the emperor.

Liu Dong, the old eunuch, entered without glancing sideways. Once in the courtyard, he immediately began to read the imperial decree:

[By the mandate of Heaven, the emperor decrees:

Today, you have earned this great honor through your outstanding military achievements, safeguarding the peace of the region and repeatedly accomplishing remarkable feats. Your aspirations are admirable, and your actions are praiseworthy. You are truly a pillar of the nation and a blessing to the people.

Therefore, I hereby confer upon you the title of Marquis, granting you a generous stipend. A residence in the capital is also bestowed upon you as a token of my favor, along with a copy of the Taoist scriptures. I hope you will make good use of it, continuously improve yourself, and protect the peace of our kingdom.]
