away, you should listen to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you my dad or am I your dad?” Xu Dajiang smacked him on the head again, and Xu Jin didn’t dare to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That settles it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not going to Wanyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all of you go to cultivate, I won’t even have someone to talk to!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am the old Xu head in Wanyi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know what I am in Jinshan County now?” Xu Dajiang suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Xu Jin was a bit stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to you, son, now when I walk in the county city, everyone has to greet me with ‘How are you, Master Xu!’ If I return to Xu’s Manor, the village chief slaughters chickens and sheep for me every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each visit to Xu’s Manor, the small wine gatherings are booked three days in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several widows have come to my door bringing chickens and ducks, offering to mend my clothes while casting flirtatious glances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the intent gaze of Xu Jin and Jiang’er, Xu Dajiang added, “Don’t worry, I’m not foolish enough to find you a stepmother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I really did, it would just be taking a concubine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief has advised me several times!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was stunned, this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was his father’s true feelings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t had enough of these heavenly days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I’m not going to Wanyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you, my son, care, come visit in two or three years, ideally with a daughter-in-law and a great grandchild in tow, by then, I might consider going to Wanyi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was dumbstruck, facing yet another push for marriage and grandchildren!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he escape this wherever he went?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, were Xu Dajiang’s days really this comfortable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were truly heavenly days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his father’s heavenly life, Xu Jin’s days were quite bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, this family meeting proved one thing, Xu Dajiang was the father, Xu Jin was the son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the final decision was Xu Dajiang’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was decided to head to Wanyi, many things had to be arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his father lacked nothing in terms of food and clothing, arrangements still had to be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First off, Xu Jin brought a gift and went straight to the Lord-lieutenant Mansion to see Lord-lieutenant Lu Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chang, the Lord-lieutenant of Jinshan County, warmly welcomed Xu Jin with grand gestures, treating him with great respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was straightforward, explaining his purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mutual help was what made relationships work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only extending help without reciprocation could sometimes turn into resentment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had helped Lu Xianbing, and now it was time to provide the Lu Family an opportunity to return the favor, initiating a healthy cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help without expectation of reciprocity could become a burden too heavy to carry, eventually turning into animosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This matter, easy to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to handle it well, to make it long-lasting, we should grant your elderly father an official position, a leisurely one, so that no one would dare to provoke him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chang paced back and forth, then suddenly said, “In my Dachen Lord-lieutenant Mansion, there is a role named Military Merit Announcer, Rank is only Standard Ninth Rank, but it’s indeed a legitimate military position, no need to check in daily, just need to visit the Military Camp two or three times a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, according to his position, we can arrange for two personal soldiers as bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happily, this rank, I can appoint directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was a bit stupefied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intention was to ask Lord-lieutenant Lu Chang to look after him a bit, handle any troubles if they arose, not expecting to be directly offered an official position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>isn’t quite appropriate, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s inappropriate about it, we’re all family here, no need for formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, when will Nephew Xu go to the National Taoist Institute?” Lu Chang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If nothing unexpected, it should be tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, then I’ll sort this out tonight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the personal soldiers, I’ll personally select those from good families with fine characteristics, Nephew Xu can rest easy,” Lu Chang spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else could Xu Jin say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only be grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, despite the gratitude, Xu Jin had a premonition; his father was already regarded as Master Xu, already drawing flirtatious gaze from widows; with an official position and personal soldiers for protection, he hoped it wouldn’t bring disaster upon young ladies and married women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Lord-lieutenant Mansion, Xu Jin quickly picked up a gift and went to visit Dean Cao Chun and Governor Tian Zhang, asking them to look after his needs in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Mountain Master, unless something unforeseen occurred, Dean Cao Chun should be the next Mountain Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After visiting the big shots, Xu Jin then went to the Taoist Institute to meet a group of younger brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xiaohu, Fang Zixing, Qiao Ruonan, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three, highly likely to serve in the Star Patrol Guard of Jinshan County in the future, were like local tyrants; their protection would be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They readily agreed, Qian Xiaohu even directly stated that in Xu Jin’s absence, he would take two Star Patrol Guard brothers to visit Xu’s Manor every other day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now and in the future, it would remain so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed thoughtful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, I won’t say much, from now on, I trust you to take good care of my dad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here are four Star Refilling Pills, two Mental Awakening Pills, and one First Tier Star Weapon that I can’t use anymore; keep them to enhance your strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaohu’s expression changed, “Brother Jin, I’ve never expected these!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for your help initially, I’d still be laboring at the docks, not being followed and hailed like now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kindness, I can never repay in my lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Jin, by giving me all these, you’re treating me as an outsider, not as a brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin clapped Qian Xiaohu’s shoulder and laughed, “We are brothers, why the fuss about these formalities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, giving you these, is just hoping you will boost your cultivation level as quickly as possible, and soon rise to become the Star Patrol Commander, becoming even stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my dad really has any troubles, you could be of help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Persuaded with effort, Qian Xiaohu accepted reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Qian Xiaohu’s case, Xu Jin had also given much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>",1098,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a0c3069950dafdd5c5377df370cce277f559ca1d3c4bee92727200bb949511b","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-278","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-276",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
