Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing's expression turned strange as he tentatively asked, "It wouldn't be Sun Shangxiang, would it?"

Sun Peng's eyes brightened, and he praised, "I originally wanted to name her Sun Shenghua, after all, flowers are fragrant."

But the Sun Shangxiang you mentioned seems to sound better, and it can also echo with her nickname."

Sun Rong at the side chimed in agreement, "Not bad, Shangxiang sounds better!"

Xu Zhangqing felt like he had been played by this whole family, and regretted in his heart, "I shouldn't have run my mouth."

Sun Peng teased the child in his arms with his finger, laughing, "Sheng, no, now she should be called Shangxiang, you must remember, this name was given by Dao Friend Cai."

Who knows if it was fate, but she actually grinned.

As if acknowledging this name.

Seeing this, all the various reasons and excuses Xu Zhangqing had prepared couldn't be spoken, and complex emotions welled up in his heart even more.

There was excitement, but also bewilderment, and even more a loss of what to do.

After all, this kind of thing was also the first time he had experienced it.

Sun Peng and Sun Rong glanced at each other, then handed over the daughter in swaddling clothes: "Father, you take Xiang'er back first, I'll chat with Dao Friend Cai."

Sun Rong nodded lightly, took her, and turned to leave.

The spacious back garden soon had only Xu Zhangqing and Sun Peng left.

This time, Xu Zhangqing didn't run his mouth, merely looking at the other party with indifference.

Clearly presenting a stance of: if you don't speak, I won't speak either.

The two of them, you look at me, I look at you.

Big eyes staring at small eyes.

After a long while, Sun Peng truly couldn't hold back, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Dao Friend Cai, on behalf of the Sun Family, I thank you for your help over these years, and offer an apology by the way."

Xu Zhangqing asked with a half-smile, "Apologize for what?"

Sun Peng smiled awkwardly, then frankly said, "I know, because of the matter with the Long Family of Xuanxin City, you've generated dissatisfaction towards me and the Sun Family."

Xu Zhangqing let out a "hmph," neither confirming nor denying this.

Sun Peng suddenly bowed deeply, his attitude incomparably sincere: "I already know I was wrong, I hope you'll give me another chance."

Xu Zhangqing reached out to help him up: "Haven't I been cooperating with you all along?"

Spirit Rice, Spirit Rice Wine, although I didn't come personally anymore, I've always had Lin An deliver them.

Delivered every month, never interrupted once.

Although, in my heart I indeed felt dissatisfaction towards the Sun Family, it hadn't reached the point of turning hostile.

As a result, I never expected the other party would be scared to this extent, truly feeling surprised.

Sun Peng immediately declared, "I swear, the Xuanxin City side will never dare have any ideas again, from now on the Sun Family will honestly guard Dongqing City."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Let's talk about the Xuanxin City side later."

Sun Peng deeply agreed: "Right, the current Xuanxin City, your choice to wait and see is correct."

Xu Zhangqing asked in shock and doubt, "What happened to Xuanxin City?"

Sun Peng asked back in surprise, "You don't know?"

Xu Zhangqing reacted quickly, immediately answering, "With so many things happening, how would I know which one you're talking about."

Sun Peng suddenly realized: "That's true too, after all the Long Family fled, and the City Lord's Mansion also had an incident."

To tell the truth, Xu Zhangqing still didn't know what exactly had happened in the Canglan Sea Region and Xuanxin City up to now.

The Immortal Sect side, the news blockade is very severe.

What's more, everyone's attention is focused on the Gui Xu Secret Realm.

This leads to there being no channels at all to seek information.

But judging from the reaction of the person before me, he seems to know quite a lot.

"Why did the Long Family run?"

"That golden light belt, you should have seen it, right?"

"Of course."

"It's said the Dragon Vein at the bottom of the Canglan Sea was slain by someone, now Evil Water is rampant, the Long Family ran directly to avoid being implicated."

"Then... what happened to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"The sea island earthquake, the Zhenjiao Tower cracked, the Flood Dragon sealed underneath ran out!"

Just a few sentences of dialogue left Xu Zhangqing incomparably shocked, his mood difficult to calm.

Never expected that so many things had actually happened.

The Dragon Vein of the Canglan Sea Region was slain by someone.

Xuanxin City was destroyed.

The Long Family fled.

The key point is, there really was a Flood Dragon under the Zhenjiao Tower.

Sun Peng asked with concern, "Dao Friend Cai, are you alright?"

Xu Zhangqing's heart was bleeding, yet he could only force a smile: "I'm fine, just surprised."

Really, ever since the Green Finger evolved the Four Seasons Fruit Tree into the Time-Space Annual Ring Tree, his luck was unknown whether it had been used up, or if he had started walking the path of bad luck.

Misfortunes came one after another.

First, Dianqingzhi had not succeeded once since then.

Second, the Juling Abyss Hundred-Year Fishing Rights he had secured were gone.

Lastly, the Water Spirit Fruit was still in the hands of the Mermaid Princess Xuan Zhu.

The word "miserable" could hardly begin to describe it.

Sun Peng glanced around, then continued, "Anyway, the current Xuanxin City, or rather the entire Canglan Sea Region, is very dangerous.

Not only are large numbers of Water Demons and Sea Monsters rampaging, there is also a Jiao Dragon stirring winds and waves."

Xu Zhangqing was quite curious: "How did you come by this news?"

Sun Peng glanced toward the banquet and replied, "We have always had a good relationship with the Long Family; they specially sent someone to deliver the message."

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly: "Youlong Nine Transformations can store the abilities and effects of nine types of Dragons; I happen to possess the Immortal Water Tree; if I absorb this Jiao Dragon's bloodline, breaking through to Golden Core Stage would be more assured."

However beautiful the thought, reality was extremely cruel.

This Jiao Dragon was at minimum a Great Demon of thousands of years; Foundation Establishment Stage simply could not defeat it; going to hunt it was no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

With my skinny arms and legs, I wouldn't even be enough to stick between its teeth.

Fortunately, he finally knew what had occurred in the Canglan Sea Region.

And with everything that needed discussing discussed, the two went to attend the banquet.

As one of the Five Great Families of Dongqing City, the Sun Family's arrangements were extremely grand.

Especially since this was Sun Peng's firstborn, they attached exceptional importance to it.

A boy's birth is called the Joy of Nong Zhang.

A girl's birth is called the Joy of Nong Wa.

This time, to celebrate the birth of a girl, the Sun Family specially invited the only Spirit Chef in Dongqing City.

The first course was whole chicken and whole fish, signifying Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness.

The dessert was dumplings, signifying descendants generation after generation.

The wine used was Nü'er Hong, signifying smooth growth.

Moreover, all of it reached Spirit Meal Level, therefore the price was expensive.

Both emotionally and logically, Xu Zhangqing also gave a gift: an Amulet.

It does not need Spiritual Power of any attribute; as long as a Blood Inscribing is left, it is equal to mutual Binding.

Upon sensing an attribute attack, or any malicious act toward Sun Shangxiang, it will automatically trigger, forming a thick Protective Shield.

It can effectively block all attacks below Foundation Establishment, and lasts for the duration of one incense stick.

The child is too young; Spiritual Root cannot be tested at present.

Only after she grows up a bit can testing be conducted.

Therefore, this is also why Xu Zhangqing did not give a Spirit Tool.

In case she has no Spiritual Root, even if given it could not be used, and possessing a treasure invites calamity.

Don't look at how the Sun Family ranks among the top in Dongqing City; once away from here, who would care?

This banquet lasted from daytime straight through to evening; those who came left, those who rested rested.

Xu Zhangqing rose to bid farewell: "I'm leaving."

Sun Peng tried to persuade him to stay: "Our house has many rooms; why don't you stay and rest?"

Xu Zhangqing's old face reddened: "That... I... I'm going to take a look at Yixiang Pavilion!"
