Chapter 483: Doubts, Clues

Letting Jiang Lan ascend the throne to become Emperor was actually a helpless move by Jiang Chen.

Although the grievances and cause and effect between He He Pingsheng and the Qi Kingdom had been settled.

But after his, Jiang Chen's, lifespan was exhausted, where would the Qi Kingdom go? At that time, an Imperial Family without a Soul Transformation, let alone other countries coming to bully you; even within the Qi Kingdom, those Soul Transformation cultivators from major sects probably wouldn't be honest, right?

You must know that the entire Qi Kingdom had nearly twenty Soul Transformation cultivators.

But now, pushing Jiang Lan to the position of Empress was different.

In this way, after he passed away and his lifespan was exhausted, Jiang Lan's position wouldn't be easily coveted by others.

Just kidding; based on the relationship between Jiang Lan and He He Pingsheng, which Soul Transformation cultivator would dare to covet the Imperial Family's interests?

They wouldn't want to live!

For the Jiang family, this was already the best ending.

As for after Jiang Lan, who could inherit the throne?

It didn't matter; Jiang Lan's son or Jiang Lan's daughter would both be fine.

At the very least, there was still the Jiang family's bloodline, right?

"Jiang Lan, congratulations..." He He Pingsheng walked up to Jiang Lan.

"Thank you!" Jiang Lan also bowed to He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng reached out and took out two treasures, saying: "I originally didn't intend to return these to your Qi Kingdom, but since you have become the Empress of Qi, let it be; I will return them to you!"

An axe and a black seal.

Both were ancient treasures.

Seeing the Qi Kingdom's ancient treasures recovered, Jiang Chen also chuckled: It seems my choice was truly correct.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist He..." Jiang Lan received the two divine artifacts and was even more grateful to He He Pingsheng.

She felt that investing in He He Pingsheng was the most important thing she had done in her life.

"Alright!" He He Pingsheng didn't dawdle and directly waved his hand: "You go be your Empress; I am leaving!"

"Wait!" Jiang Lan called out to He He Pingsheng and said: "Senior Brother He, please wait a moment; I have something to discuss with the Ancestor; give me half a stick of incense!"

He He Pingsheng didn't mind waiting for half a stick of incense, so he nodded and said: "Good..."

Jiang Lan and Jiang Chen descended from the void and returned to the Imperial Palace.

He He Pingsheng landed outside the Imperial Palace and found a spirit tea house to sit down in.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Lan reappeared before him, dressed in palace attire.

In the spirit tea house, all the guests had been scared away, leaving only He He Pingsheng and Jiang Lan.

In the hall, it was quiet.

Jiang Lan looked at He He Pingsheng and asked: "Senior Brother He... I have a favor to ask..."

He He Pingsheng said: "Speak!"

Jiang Lan said: "The Emperor of Qi cannot be without an heir; I want to ask Senior Brother He, we... we..."

Jiang Lan's face turned bright red.

She had never thought about having that kind of relationship with He He Pingsheng; it was just that in the Imperial Palace earlier, the Ancestor had suggested it to her.

If the two of them could have a child, then this child could inherit the Qi Kingdom's throne in the future.

Then, the Qi Kingdom and He He Pingsheng could be deeply bound together.

In this way, even if he, Jiang Chen, exhausted his lifespan and left first, the Qi Kingdom wouldn't have any problems.

Jiang Lan naturally agreed deeply.

He He Pingsheng, however, shook his head and said: "Didn't you say back then that you didn't think much of someone like me... let's not talk about it; talking about it too much makes me feel quite uncomfortable!"

"Mm!" Jiang Lan nodded.

She also felt that forcing that kind of relationship with He He Pingsheng was not good.

After all, she only admired He He Pingsheng and had no romantic fantasies about him.

"Then..." Jiang Lan said: "I just discussed it with the Ancestor; Dingxiang Commandery is your hometown; I propose to grant Dingxiang Commandery to you as a fief; from now on, you will have full authority over the management there!"

"The City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion will still be appointed by our Imperial Family with a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"However, they will be under your command, and you will decide how things are specifically done!"

He He Pingsheng smiled: "This is good!"

Dingxiang Commandery was now his.

That felt great.

He had also talked with Sister Qiao before about returning to the Cultivation Alliance to cultivate slowly, have children, and raise grandchildren once things calmed down.

Now that a whole commandery was his, that was too good.

"Thanks!" He He Pingsheng waved his hand and left: "I'm off!"

Taking a spirit ship from the Qi Imperial Capital to Dingxiang Commandery would take four or five days.

Four or five days it is.

He He Pingsheng took the spirit ship and headed there.

Four or five days later, he arrived at Dingxiang City.

He didn't go to the City Lord's Mansion but directly summoned his flying boat and headed toward the Dao Xuan Alliance.

Standing at the bow of the Eight-Treasure Boat, He He Pingsheng once again activated the 【True Explanation of Heavenly Eye Physiognomy】 to scan in all directions.

He wanted to see if he could find any traces of Qiao Qiao Huizhu, Xiao Xuan, or Wang Dun.

Nothing.

There was still no luck at all.

Only on his Nian Mountain was the luck as bright as a rainbow.

"Hmm?"

Just as He He Pingsheng was staring in the direction of his Nian Mountain, he suddenly saw a wisp of jumping luck separate from his Nian Mountain.

This is...

Seeing this luck, He He Pingsheng was shocked beyond measure.

Although the distance was very far, He He Pingsheng could be certain that this luck was at least eighth or ninth-tier luck.

No...

It should be luck even more powerful than the eighth or ninth heavenly tribulation luck.

Who is this?

Could it be Qiao Qiao Huizhu, or perhaps Xiao Xuan?

He He Pingsheng frowned, watching that luck without stopping for a moment.

Then he discovered that the speed of this luck was extremely fast, fast to an outrageous degree.

He knew that neither Xiao Xuan nor Qiao Qiao Huizhu could possibly possess such speed.

He He Pingsheng hurriedly gulped down two mouthfuls of Ice Plain Divine Dew.

No choice; this True Explanation of Heavenly Eye Physiognomy really consumed too much energy.

What surprised He He Pingsheng was that after about two hours, this wisp of luck was actually getting closer and closer to him.

Good fellow!

This is coming straight for me!

After another hour, a familiar figure finally appeared in He He Pingsheng's spiritual sense.

Ancestor He Wen!

He He Pingsheng felt a wave of disappointment.

He had thought it was a clue about Qiao Qiao Huizhu, but he hadn't expected the person possessing this luck to be He Wen.

The question arose again.

It was understandable that He Wen's luck reached above the eighth or ninth tier.

But what was incomprehensible was that He He Pingsheng had clearly seen just now that when He Wen left the Holy Mountain, the luck on the Holy Mountain had only decreased by one-tenth.

This wasn't right.

Because there were only two Holy Masters on his Nian Mountain.

One was He Wen, the other was He Nian.

Assuming the luck of the two was roughly equal, then after He Wen left, the luck on the Holy Mountain should have decreased by at least half.

Even if there were other disciples on the Holy Mountain with luck, it should have decreased by at least one-third.

But now, it had only decreased by one-tenth.

This was too abnormal.

As for it being sect luck?

That was even less likely.

Because sect luck is not golden; it is cyan, completely different from individual luck.

Then...

That is to say, on the Holy Mountain, besides the two Ancestors He Wen and He Nian, there were many others with great luck.

This...

He He Pingsheng's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.

He thought of a certain possibility.

A wave of fear arose in his heart involuntarily.

So now, Ancestor He Wen is coming to find me... what does it mean?
