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 Pingsheng and the Qi Kingdom were now 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 large 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, when he passed away and his lifespan was exhausted, Jiang Lan's position would not be easily coveted by others.

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

They don't want to live!

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

As for who could inherit the throne after Jiang Lan?

It didn't matter; Jiang Lan's son or Jiang Lan's daughter would do.

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

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

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

He Pingsheng reached out and took out two treasures, saying: "I originally didn't intend to return these things to your Qi Kingdom, but since you are the Empress of Qi, forget it, I'll 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 Pingsheng.

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

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

"Wait!" Jiang Lan called out to He Pingsheng and said: "Wang Shixiong He, wait a moment; I have something to discuss with the Biyun Laozu. Give me half a stick of incense!"

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

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

He Pingsheng landed outside the Imperial Palace and found a spiritual 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 spiritual tea house, all the guests were so scared that they had all left; only He Pingsheng and Jiang Lan remained.

The hall was quiet.

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

He Pingsheng said: "Speak!"

Jiang Lan said: "The Emperor of Qi cannot be without an heir. I would like to ask Wang Shixiong He, we... we..."

Jiang Lan's face turned bright red.

She had never thought about having that kind of relationship with He Pingsheng; it was just that earlier in the Imperial Palace, the Biyun Laozu had suggested doing so.

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

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

In this way, even if he, Jiang Chen, exhausted his lifespan and passed away first, the Qi Kingdom would not have any problems.

Jiang Lan naturally agreed deeply.

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

"Mm!" Jiang Lan nodded.

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

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

"Then..." Jiang Lan said: "I just discussed it with the Biyun Laozu. Dingxiang County is your hometown. I propose to enfeoff Dingxiang County to you. In the future, 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 from the Nascent Soul stage!"

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

He Pingsheng smiled: "This is good!"

Dingxiang County was his now.

That was great.

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

Now that an entire county was his, that was too good.

"Thanks!" He Pingsheng waved his hand and left: "Leaving!"

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

Four or five days it is.

He Pingsheng took the spirit ship.

Four or five days later, he arrived in 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 Pingsheng once again activated the 【Heavenly Eye Physiognomy True Explanation】 to scan the surroundings.

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

Nothing.

Still no luck with any fortune.

Only on the mountain he was thinking of, the fortune was like a rainbow.

"Hmm?"

Just as He Pingsheng was staring at the direction of the mountain he was thinking of, he suddenly saw a wisp of jumping fortune separate from the mountain.

This is...

Seeing this fortune, He Pingsheng was shocked beyond measure.

Although the distance was far, He Pingsheng could be certain that this fortune was at least eight or nine fortune.

No...

It should be even more powerful than the eight or nine heavenly tribulation fortune.

Who is this?

Could it be Qiao Huizhu, or Xiao Xuan?

He Pingsheng frowned and watched the fortune without stopping for a moment.

Then he discovered that the speed of this fortune was extremely fast, fast to the point of being outrageous.

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

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

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

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

Good fellow!

This is coming straight for me!

Another hour later, a familiar figure finally appeared in He Pingsheng's spiritual sense.

Biyun Laozu He Wen!

He Pingsheng felt a wave of disappointment.

He had thought it was a clue about Qiao Huizhu, but he didn't expect the person possessing this fortune to be He Wen.

The question arose again.

It was understandable that He Wen's fortune reached above eight or nine.

But what was incomprehensible was that He Pingsheng had clearly seen just now that when He Wen left the Shengshan, the fortune on the Shengshan had decreased by no more than one-tenth.

This wasn't right.

Because there were only two Holy Lords on the mountain He Wen was thinking of.

One was He Wen, the other was He Nian.

Let's assume their fortunes were roughly equal; then after He Wen left, the fortune on the Shengshan should have decreased by at least half.

Even if the other disciples on the Shengshan had fortune, 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 fortune?

Even less so.

Because sect fortune is not golden; it is cyan, completely different from personal fortune.

Then...

That is to say, on the Shengshan, besides the two ancestors He Wen and He Nian, there were many other people with great fortune.

This...

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, Biyun Laozu He Wen has come to find me... what does it mean?

Five chapters will resume on May 7th, please look forward to it!
