After returning to the Meng Mansion, Meng Meng Jingzhou found his father and recounted in detail what had happened at the Second Prince's official residence.

Upon hearing this, Meng Potian was not surprised by the Second Prince's attempt to win over Lu Yang.

He looked at Lu Yang and smiled: "Among the nine princes, it is not just the Second Prince who wants to contact Little Lu. It seems he is the first one who couldn't hold back, which is normal; his usual behavior shows he isn't very patient."

"Not just him?" Meng Meng Jingzhou was surprised. So Old Lu is this popular.

"Since the First Prince has little intention of inheriting the throne, it is inevitable that other princes would become interested in it. According to the intelligence gathered, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince both have the intention to compete."

"Is this throne that attractive?" Meng Meng Jingzhou thought to himself that the throne is useless; he wouldn't take it even if given to him.

Meng Potian looked at his son and Lu Yang. They were all his own people, so there was nothing he couldn't say: "That is the throne, bearing the national destiny, carrying the will of the people, and is an existence above ten thousand people and below one. If the one in the forbidden area of the imperial palace doesn't take action, then the Xia Di is the most noble person in the world, and no one can disobey his will."

In the spiritual space, hearing Meng Potian say this, Lu Yang pondered. It seems that is indeed the case; the Xia Di really seems to be a quite noble person.

"Why didn't I have this feeling before?" Lu Yang wondered, recalling his impression of the Xia Di.

He remembered now. When he first came into contact with the Xia Di, it was because the Decayed Fairy wanted the Xia Di to be the Fourth-in-Command. Then, the Decayed Fairy became the Acting Sect Master and went to the imperial palace to challenge the masters of the four great immortal sects, and not only that, she also wanted to challenge the Xia Di, scaring the Xia Di into promising her that she could enter the court without hurrying, be praised without being named, and enter the palace with a sword and shoes.

Having experienced these things, plus the Decayed Fairy chattering about the embarrassing stories of ancient immortals all day long, it was difficult for him to have any awe for the Xia Di.

"You have also come into contact with the cultivators of the Great Yu, especially since your Profound Heaven Sect captured the Wan Fa Daoist of the Great Yu Alliance, as well as the sixth Yu Emperor Wu Youdao, whose whereabouts are unknown, and the second Great Yu National Teacher. Why did they all choose to wake up at this time? Is it just to become immortals? No, they also intend to replace the Great Xia and rebuild the Great Yu."

Meng Potian did not know that Wu Youdao and the second Great Yu National Teacher had also been captured by the Profound Heaven Sect.

"It is said that the one in the forbidden area of the imperial palace does not take action unless it is a matter of life and death for the Great Xia, so sitting on the throne is actually being the master of the Central Continent."

"What realm is the one in the forbidden area of the imperial palace exactly?" Meng Meng Jingzhou had heard long ago that there was an ancestor of the Jiang family in the forbidden area of the imperial palace.

Meng Potian's expression was stern, as if discussing some kind of taboo, and he slowly spat out two words.

"Immortal."

"Oh, I guessed as much."

The Decayed Fairy and Meng Meng Jingzhou calmly accepted this fact, completely lacking the drastic change in expression that Meng Potian had expected.

The founding emperors of the Great Gan and Great Yu were both immortals, so it is logical for the Great Xia to have an immortal.

Meng Potian's face twitched slightly. What have you two boys been in contact with outside? How can you have no reaction to an immortal?

"No wonder our ancestor couldn't beat the ancestor of the Jiang family." Meng Meng Jingzhou understood and knew why his ancestor had lost back then. Jiang Ping'an was an immortal; how could Meng Junzi possibly beat him?

"The ancestor was not competitive enough. If he had won, I would be the First Prince now."

Meng Meng Jingzhou felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. It seems that the task of producing an immortal in the Meng family falls on him.

"So you know why the throne is so important. It is equivalent to the spokesperson of an immortal."

While speaking, the door was knocked, and Steward Xu pushed the door and entered.

"Master, someone is repaying a debt."

Steward Xu rarely called Meng Potian 'Big Brother'. Calling him 'Big Brother' gave a feeling that they were some kind of dark force, especially when he said "Big Brother, someone is repaying a debt," which made it seem like their Meng family was some kind of illegal organization.

Their Meng family has always been a law-abiding business, different from those illegal organizations like the Demon Sect that haven't even registered.

"Who is it?" Meng Potian asked. Logically speaking, Xu You could handle ordinary debt collection and repayment, and he, the head of the family, didn't need to step in.

Being able to let Xu You notify him meant that the other party's status was not low, or the amount of debt repayment was not small.

"That person calls himself Shi Huagu and wants to repay the one billion spirit stones he once owed."

Meng Potian nodded: "One billion spirit stones, that is indeed a significant amount."

"Shi Huagu... I remember that the chain store 'Come Again Barbecue' was opened by him." Meng Potian had some impression of this newly rising business genius.

"But I don't remember us ever lending him money."

Especially involving a loan of one billion spirit stones, Meng Potian would definitely have an impression.

"That IOU has been checked, and it was indeed issued by our Meng family, but there are traces of causality supernatural power modification in the debtor column. He should have voluntarily assumed the debt of the previous debtor."

Meng Potian was moved. He didn't expect that there would be such a person who values love and righteousness in the world.

"Let's go, take me to see him."

Meng Potian had just stepped out of the door with half a foot when he turned his head and shouted at Meng Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang: "You two should have never seen the repayment process, so come and take a look, just to broaden your horizons."

Even if Meng Potian hadn't said so, Meng Meng Jingzhou would have gone to watch the fun.

He was too familiar with the name Shi Huagu.

Meng Mansion guest reception area.

There are many private rooms in the guest reception area, and the quality of the private rooms varies according to the business value.

Shi Huagu was waiting nervously in a high-class private room for the person in charge of the Meng family to come.

"Don't be nervous, haven't you saved up one billion spirit stones?" Sect Master Mu Baiyi also came. Shi Huagu's debt was considered a legacy problem from the previous sect master, belonging to half of official business, so he came to accompany him to avoid any mishaps halfway.

"Finally, I don't have to be struck by lightning anymore." Shi Huagu was very emotional. For today, he had waited for a full four years. One tribulation every month, fifty tribulations! It is a miracle that he can live until now.

He shouldn't have been so greedy back then, going to snatch Qin Li Haoran's treasure.

That was a piece of crap treasure!

If it weren't for the appearance of the Heavenly Court, pointing out the way for him, he wouldn't know in which lifetime he would have saved enough spirit stones.

"Are you Shi Huagu?"

Meng Potian appeared with Meng Meng Jingzhou and the possessed Lu Yang, his face filled with an enthusiastic and sincere smile.

"Yes."

Shi Huagu noticed Meng Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang and was stunned for a moment, not expecting these two people to be here too.

He had met Lu Yang once when he asked Tao Tao Yaoye to advertise, and as for Meng Meng Jingzhou, he had only seen his portrait.

Mu Baiyi had met the two at the Corpse-Driving Inn in Huangzhou.

They were just two talented juniors. Shi Huagu didn't think much about it, handed the IOU left by Qin Li Haoran and the storage ring containing one billion spirit stones to Meng Potian, and waited nervously for the result.

Meng Potian first carefully checked the IOU. Their Meng family has always followed the rules; they don't accept money that isn't theirs.

Then he checked the storage ring three times. Their Meng family has always had rules; they must not be short of a single cent of the money that should be theirs.

"Hmm, the IOU is real, and there are indeed one billion spirit stones in the storage ring."

Hearing this, Shi Huagu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Meng Potian.

"Wait a minute, you haven't repaid the interest yet."
