Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty.
After Qin Yichen’s powerful rise, and with the Feng Family as his solid backing, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce rose at a terrifying speed.
In the short span of half a year, the prestige of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce rivalled that of the Feng Family, which was a Force that towered above the Six Imperial Dynasties.
Regarding all this, the Feng Family maintained a tacit permissive attitude. Moreover, in many aspects, they actively helped. This also let everyone know that the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s rise was unstoppable!
With the Feng Family’s assistance, branch offices of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce were already spread throughout the major cities of the Six Imperial Dynasties.
The Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s headquarters remained in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty. Actually, with their current financial resources, building another territory comparable to the Feng Family was not impossible.
However, no one knew what the upper echelon of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was thinking. Even the headquarters’ location and surrounding environment had not changed at all.
All this seemed to be waiting for a certain someone, as if afraid he would not be able to find the place upon returning.
In the small courtyard at the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce headquarters…
Feng Qianxue sat on a bamboo bench, her eyes vacant as she gazed at the sky. Within her eyes was nothing but emptiness.
Originally, after the previous incident, Feng Wentian had arranged for numerous powerful experts to protect her in secret, and had forbidden Feng Qianxue from stepping outside the Feng Family’s territory.
However, since news from the Imperial Dynasties Assembly had returned, Feng Wentian discovered that his most beloved Daughter had actually become increasingly silent and withdrawn, gazing towards the horizon from her window all day long.
Her personality had gradually transformed from originally cheerful and lively to quiet and reserved. At such a young age, she always appeared as if carrying heavy worries.
She no longer threw herself into his embrace, calling him ‘Father’ affectionately, and rarely showed her sweet smile to others.
During one heart-to-heart conversation, Feng Wentian finally learned that Feng Qianxue was worried and frightened.
Although she was genuinely happy from her heart that Qin Yichen had entered a Sacred Land, Qin Yichen was getting further and further from her, and she did not even know where he was. This made Feng Qianxue deeply afraid of losing her beloved.
Feng Wentian saw all this with his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.
His precious Daughter, not yet seventeen, had become like this… Which Father would not feel their hearts tighten when watching this?
Finally, when Ye Liangchen, Shu Ruyan and others visited the Feng Family a month ago, Feng Wentian saw a trace of pure joy on Feng Qianxue’s face.
Immediately, he humbly requested that Ye Liangchen and the others take Feng Qianxue out to clear her mind.
Regarding all this, everyone in their hearts was actually very clear that Feng Qianxue’s emotions were not something they could resolve.
Whether it was Ye Liangchen and the others, or Feng Qianxue herself, they all understood Feng Wentian’s good intentions. Thus, Feng Qianxue followed them to the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Capital.
“Thinking about your sweetheart again?” In the small courtyard, a mischievous voice suddenly rang out. Subsequently, Shu Xin’s graceful figure came running over to Feng Qianxue’s side. To one side, Shu Ruyan sighed lightly and also slowly walked over.
“Elder Sisters.” Feng Qianxue forced a smile and called out softly.
“Sister Qianxue, quickly come with us to the Auction House. There’s a good treasure today. I guarantee it will make you happy.”
Shu Xin, only slightly older than Feng Qianxue, spoke with the air of an Older Sister, smiling as she said this.
Seeing the worried look in both their eyes, Feng Qianxue, who had originally intended to refuse, also nodded.
…
Above the boundless azure sky, clouds drifted. With the gentle breeze, they stirred up continuous waves of green reaching to the horizon across the grassland below. It was truly beautiful.
*Weng…* In this tranquil environment, a violent fluctuation suddenly erupted in the sky. Subsequently, an enormous light door strangely appeared out of thin air, and a slender figure slowly walked out from within.
“Worthy of being a Transport Array jointly constructed by the three Sacred Lands. Its speed alone is dozens of times faster than the Transport Arrays of the Imperial Dynasties.”
Qin Yichen silently sighed with admiration in his heart. Within this Transport Array, in merely three days, he had arrived here. Moreover, there was completely none of that dizziness brought by crude Transport Arrays. Such methods were completely incomparable to those of people in the Imperial Dynasties.
After a moment, as Qin Yichen emerged, that enormous light door gradually dissipated, and space returned to normal. Qin Yichen’s gaze also began sweeping across this territory.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!* Just as Qin Yichen had barely stopped, two urgent sounds of wind-breaking came from the distance.
Subsequently, two figures came rapidly flashing towards him.
“Third Elder?” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly. When he saw clearly that one of those two figures was someone he recognised, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
The Feng Family’s reaction speed was truly not slow. With just a slight fluctuation from the Transport Array, someone had already rushed over this quickly to investigate.
“May we know which distinguished guest has arrived at our Feng Family? Please announce your name!” From far away, the somewhat grave voice of the Feng Family’s Third Elder resonated outwards.
As a Martial Emperor, when he saw that slender figure in the distance, his heart nevertheless experienced a wave of palpitations. An extremely dangerous feeling spread from the bottom of his heart.
Clearly, that person was definitely no ordinary individual!
Moreover, this person’s abrupt appearance within the Feng Family territory naturally made him all the more wary.
“Third Elder, your speed is truly impressive.” Qin Yichen chuckled lightly, his figure flashing out.
“So fast!” When Qin Yichen’s feet moved, the Third Elder’s body suddenly tensed. In the span of just one breath, that figure had already stopped in mid-air just three metres away from him.
“You… who are you?” Upon seeing the face of the person before him, the Third Elder’s pupils suddenly contracted, an expression of disbelief emerging in his eyes.
“Junior Qin Yichen pays respects to the Third Elder.” Under the Third Elder’s incredulous gaze, Qin Yichen smiled slightly and performed a slight bow.
“It’s really you!?” The Third Elder’s body gave a shudder as he hurriedly steadied the latter, his eyes full of satisfaction.
In the Six Imperial Dynasties, the person representing the number one among the younger generation could actually remain neither arrogant nor impatient while showing him respect. Such character truly warranted endless praise.
“Didn’t you go to a Sacred Land? Why have you returned here?” As if thinking of this point, the Third Elder’s expression changed slightly as he hurriedly asked.
Everyone knew that, let alone a Sacred Land, even being recruited into a major Force made returning to the Imperial Dynasties an extremely distant matter.
However, how long had Qin Yichen been in a Sacred Land? Why had he suddenly returned to this place?
This sort of thing had occurred within the Feng Family before.
Once, a predecessor from the Feng Family had entered a powerful Force, then returned to the Imperial Dynasties in less than a month.
However, the reason was somewhat difficult to accept.
It was because the competition there was too intense, and he had been ostracised and expelled. Moreover, after returning, in less than half a month, even with the full resources of the Feng Family, they could not heal the injuries on that predecessor’s body. Finally, amid the Feng Family members’ regret, he died in despair.
