Peace Order-Chapter 1482 - 138: All Auspicious Signs Enter the Cauldron, Titles Bestowed
At first, Xue Daoyong managed to maintain his expression in front of others, displaying an air of disdain towards this boy, since he was still of royal lineage, a Prime Minister, so he couldn’t be too excessive, he had to maintain appearances.
But later, he didn’t even bother to pretend.
This man, who in his youth roamed the world, once chased sand pirates alone with a cart full of arrows in the desert, re-establishing trade routes with the Western Regions, proclaimed himself the greatest gambler of the chaotic times, in over a hundred and twenty years, forcibly doubled the wealth of the Xue Family.
Until this moment, he finally hit the biggest gamble of his life!
Originally believed to have found a hero of the chaotic times, placing heavy bets in turbulent days.
Who would have thought, he actually found a True Dragon of the chaotic era.
This time, an all-in bet!
Truly a huge profit.
Xue Changqing, meanwhile, gradually practiced martial arts, served as a military officer in Guan Yi City, the same position Xue Daoyong once arranged for Li Guanyi, slowly honing his martial skills and interpersonal relations.
In the years after that young man left Guan Yi City, this ancient city remained unchanged, the houses hardly altered, the streets still as they used to be, time rolling over the cobblestone roads like a wheel.
Much like years ago, as if Zhao Dabing was driving his carriage around the corner, one could still see the young guest elder in a dark blue patterned gown, hands tucked in sleeves, greeting with a mature smile.
As one grows older, the passage of time feels less real.
These four years passed in a flash for Zhao Dabing and this city.
For some reason, Zhao Dabing once thought that the young guest elder, being so close to Miss, seemed somewhat inappropriate, but now, compared to that Lord who roars across the world, lifting his long sword, chastising the heroes of all regions.
With a quiet, serene face of stunning beauty, the girl who once stood beneath the plum trees in South Chen City seems hardly a fitting match by worldly standards.
The carriage entered the Xue Family courtyard, Xue Shuangtao wore an ink-black gown with a wooden hairpin, due to the cold weather, draped in a fur-collared satin cloak, her demeanor calm and cool.
Expressing thanks, she quietly stepped into the family courtyard.
Leaning against the carriage, Zhao Dabing suddenly sighed: "Li Xiao, will you come back? When you return, come back sooner, Miss has waited for you with such hardship over these years."
But, he suddenly thought.
Will the one who comes next still be that young guest elder? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Or Marquis Qin Wu.
Or perhaps...
......
Amid the Nine Provinces Tripod, the qi fortune surged, the sense of connection among the three Nine Cauldrons disappeared, then calmed down, Li Guanyi in a haze, retracting a hint of divine charm, slowly opened his eyes, still inside the secret realm of the Jiuli, the ancient land of the Jiuli Clan.
The Nine-colored Divine Deer touched Li Guanyi with its antlers, puzzled: "What were you thinking about with your eyes closed just now?"
Li Guanyi said: "I seemed to have gone to a place extremely far away."
He pressed his fingers to his forehead, that momentary surge of divine charm, harnessing the river of qi fortune, took just one step, spanning a thousand miles, dreamlike and illusory, as the changes in the Nine Provinces Tripod subsided, this sensation vanished as well.
The Ancient Red Dragon stretched its body, laughing heartily: "Not bad, not bad."
"After that fight, I finally stretched out my old bones."
"Otherwise, just seeing these Iron-eating Beasts, little cats, little birds, how dull!"
The Iron-eating Beast Ball shivered, its body rigid.
Yet despite the rigidity, its paws instinctively moved, stuffing the bamboo shoot into its mouth.
Yikes, the Ancient Red Dragon, so terrifying!!!
Eat something quickly to calm down first.
Chewing and chewing.
Tell me, bamboo shoots... chewing, chewing.
Who exactly discovered them, they’re so delicious.
So crisp, so tender, so refreshing, so juicy and abundant.
The thoughts of the Iron-eating Beast Ball shifted again, wandering off to who knows where, Li Guanyi slowly rose, gazing at the Southwest Nine Cauldron, his eyes lowered slightly, thus, the Southwest Tripod, Western Regions Tripod, Jiangnan’s Tripod, were all complete.
These three large tripods circulated qi fortune, enough to apply the three blessings simultaneously across the vast territory under Li Guanyi’s command, including the vitality of Jiangnan exchanged for by the Red Dragon’s eight hundred years, the deadly weapons of the Western Regions, and the iron of the Jiuli.
Li Guanyi murmured: "This journey is complete, it’s time to return."
At this moment, the Nine Provinces Tripod suddenly roared, Li Guanyi hesitated slightly, the wisp he carried representing the Qi Fortune of Chen Country suddenly surged up from the tripod, still resplendent like colorful ribbons.
Circling around, it flew straight out.
Over there, the Qilin was competing with the Iron-eating Beast Ball for bamboo shoots.
Debating whether bamboo shoots should be eaten raw or roasted first.
Producing fundamental, extreme hostility, one thinking bamboo shoots should be eaten as bamboo shoots, the other thinking it barbaric to gnaw them raw, the two directly engaged in a brawl, tangled together.
The Ancient Red Dragon found such ’junior’ antics truly delightful, laughed heartily: "Good, hahaha!"
"Interesting, interesting!"
"Fight, keep fighting, yes, bite there!"
"Hahahaha!"
Yet amidst the Ancient Red Dragon’s joyous laughter at watching the fight, that wisp of Chen Country’s qi fortune spiraled around, heading straight for the Little Qilin, settling into its body.
