Tangmen.
Ye Nanxiao led Ling Luochen into the Tang Clan. Ling Luochen, carrying gifts, followed behind Ye Nanxiao and curiously looked around at the Tang Clan's facilities.
Upon closer inspection, one can vaguely see several dark cannon muzzles inside the pavilions and towers, indicating that the pavilions were used for sentry duty.
The artificial mountain and pond were largely constructed by piling up rare metals that had been refined into ordinary iron blocks, then applying glue to attach the stones, and finally digging a pond.
Whether there's a secret passage beneath the pool is hard to say; only the inner disciples of the Tang Clan know.
Ling Luochen had a strong interest in the novel Ye family buildings around him.
These landscapes, which Ye Nanxiao disguised or repurposed with her novel ideas, all showcased the unique characteristics of the Tang Clan in her eyes.
Seeing Ling Luochen's curious expression, Ye Nanxiao smiled and asked, "Sister Luoluo, I remember you signed up for the course on controlling soul tools. Would you like to try having a few soul tools custom-made at the Tang Sect?"
The course on actual control of soul tools only teaches how to maximize the use of soul tools, and only provides a general understanding of the knowledge about soul tools.
"The Tang Sect can even customize soul tools now? Then I'll give it a try. I want to customize a protective soul tool, a set of armor. Do you need to take my measurements?" Ling Luochen held up the fruit basket in her hand, revealing her impressive curves.
"There are female disciples in this sect, and they will be responsible for taking the measurements," Ye Nanxiao said, turning his head. He silently recited the Ice Heart Mantra in his mind, not expecting that Sister Luoluo's figure was so well maintained.
I originally thought the two people in my family were already junior managers, but I didn't expect that Ling Luochen, who has been hiding in the academy for many years, is one too.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao shyly turn her head away, Ling Luochen's eyes suddenly flashed with a meaningful light.
The two chatted as they walked into the backyard of the Tang Clan.
Passing by a row of small villas, Ye Nanxiao took out his access token and swiped it to open the door to his own little home.
Jiang Nannan, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting at home.
When Ye Nanxiao led Ling Luochen in as the courtyard gate opened, he happily went into the courtyard to greet them.
"Nannan~ Lotus root is here~"
Ye Nanxiao opened his arms, a happy smile on his face, and was about to embrace his little wife.
Jiang Nannan reached out and pushed away the fox that was coming closer, then hugged Ling Luochen tightly.
"Sister Luo Luo! Long time no see!"
Ling Luochen put down the fruit basket in his hand and hugged Jiang Nannan.
"Nannan, it's been a long time. I've brought some fruit to visit you today."
"Oh, it's good that you've arrived! What gifts did you bring? And why did you bring your pet?"
Ling Luochen glanced cautiously at Ye Nanxiao, who was still in an embrace and had turned gray, smiled, and then looked at Jiang Nannan with some nervousness.
"Nannan, it's me."
Jiang Nannan, holding Ling Luochen's hand, tossed the fruit basket to Ye Nanxiao, saying, "Go cook, stop pretending to be a block of wood!"
"Hey hey hey!" Ye Huli rushed into the kitchen with the fruit basket in her arms.
The previous family emperor experience card has expired; it's time for the stay-at-home dad!
Jiang Nannan led Ling Luochen to sit on the sofa in the living room and made her a cup of tea.
Looking at Ling Luochen curled up on the sofa, I suddenly found him rather cute.
The aloof goddess of the academy actually has such a cute side!
"Sister Luo Luo, you've already met Sister Xiao Tao, right? Then Sister Xiao Tao must have told you about our fox. Does Sister Luo Luo's coming here mean she agrees?" Jiang Nannan said gently.
Ling Luochen nodded, then shrank back, two blushes rising on her face, and whispered, "Xiao Tao told me, and I have no objection, but what do you think of me, Nan Nan?"
"Of course I agree! Sister Luo Luo!" Jiang Nannan reached out and grasped Ling Luo Chen's small hand.
"I know you have doubts in your heart about why I asked Sister Xiaotao to find you. Actually, I never thought I could have it all to myself from the beginning. Ah Xiao's bloodline is very rare. With a large family and business, it is destined to have many descendants."
Jiang Nannan patted the sofa. "Look at the Tang Clan now, it's so large-scale, but it's only a part of that fox's business."
Large families with numerous industries cannot have only one heir, as this would be detrimental to their control over the industries; this is a universally acknowledged fact on this continent.
Ling Luochen nodded blankly. The Tang Clan is now a first-class sect, and it's only a part of Ye Nanxiao's control?
"The second reason is that the fox is getting more and more energetic, and we are gradually becoming unable to handle it."
When the second reason was mentioned, a blush appeared on Jiang Nannan's face. She had been suppressing it well, and even when Ye Nanxiao's cultivation improved, there was still some back and forth.
But recently, Jiang Nannan has found that it is no longer easy to maintain a back-and-forth dominance; even when the two of them work together, they lose more often than they win.
"Plus, with this bastard's charm, as you know, Sister Luo Luo, if we're going to have more sisters, we'd prefer they're people we know."
Thinking of Ye Guyi, who was far away in the Sun Moon Empire, and Ju Zi, who seemed to have taken the initiative to offer her a beautiful dress, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but sigh.
How can this bastard be so charming?
Ye Nanxiao, who was secretly observing the living room from the kitchen doorway, breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression became somewhat strange.
Empire of the Sun and Moon.
On the bustling streets, people come and go, enjoying the pleasures of life, with kinship, friendship, and love embodied in the lives of ordinary people.
A few people might glance at the young man sitting in the suspended chair, but upon seeing his exceptionally luxurious clothes, they would quickly avert their gaze and leave.
In Mingdu, those who wear luxurious clothes, have an extraordinary air, and possess valuable soul tools are generally either rich or noble. For ordinary people like us, it's best to avoid them if possible.
"The bustling streets and the lives of the people are peaceful only because of the Empire's protection. Master, do you think they know how to be grateful to the Empire?"
"Your Majesty, everyone can feel gratitude, except for evil spirit masters."
The young man sitting in the floating chair was Xu Tianran.
On a whim, he went on a private visit outside the palace, accompanied by several bodyguards.
Jing Hongchen kept his eyes down and followed behind Xu Tianran. To Xu Tianran's answers, he only showed a submissive meaning of "you are right".
The latest novel is first published here!
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's reply, Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Since the Hall Master has put down his heavy burden, he has spent his days with his grandchildren and has picked up some of the humor and energy of young people."
Jing Hongchen bowed slightly to Xu Tianran and said, "I must thank Your Majesty for giving this old minister this opportunity. Otherwise, I would not have known that my two grandsons have grown up so quickly. In my memory, it seems like only a few months ago that I changed their diapers."
A poignant reflection on the rapid passage of time and a sense of pride in the growth of his younger generation were perfectly captured on Jing Hongchen's face.
Having spent a long time with Ye Nanxiao, this old fox has also learned the art of facial expression management.
As expected, Xu Tianran was quite pleased with Jing Hongchen's submissive attitude.
After forcibly taking away half of Jing Hongchen's control over Mingde Hall, he had been secretly monitoring Jing Hongchen to prevent the Hongchen family from having any disloyal intentions.
Of course, it would be even better if he caught her. If he wasn't afraid of pushing her too hard, Xu Tianran wouldn't have left half of Mingdetang to Jing Hongchen.
Everything within the empire belongs to Xu Tianran, and he will never allow Mingde Hall to be like Shrek Academy, standing above the empire and sitting on equal footing with it.
To Xu Tianran's surprise, after a period of rage, Jing Hongchen gave up his secret struggle for the other half of Mingde Hall's rights and instead opened up the power in his hands, allowing the royal family to insert themselves into Mingde Hall.
This is a signal of Xu Tianran's complete submission. As long as the core power of Jing Hongchen is not touched, he will not cause any trouble.
It was precisely by controlling Jing Hongchen that Xu Tianran was able to seize control of the court.
Seeing that more than half of the ministers of the six ministries were standing by Xu Tianran's side, and even Jing Hongchen, whom the late emperor valued, was on Xu Tianran's side, the officials and ministers rushed to express their loyalty.
The Sun and Moon Empire had already become Xu Tianran's ironclad warships.
"Hehe, Master, time flies. It feels like just yesterday that I was studying at Mingde Hall and you answered my questions. Our friendship as teacher and student seems like it was just yesterday," Xu Tianran said with a smile.
"But in reality, during that period, when I was ignorant of the truth and thought I could set an example to change the erroneous beliefs of the Sun and Moon royal family that had lasted for thousands of years, I was incredibly foolish back then."
Jing Hongchen immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please do not dwell on the past. Everyone has moments of youthful arrogance, when they judge the world by their own standards. Your Majesty's past is like a clear mirror, constantly reminding you to become stronger!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran turned to look at Jing Hongchen, his eyes filled with surprise, and his eyebrows even slightly raised.
When did this old fox become so eloquent?
His words were so inspiring; they truly resonated with me.
Back then, the young Xu Tianran harbored the idea of changing the Sun Moon Royal Family and the Sun Moon Empire, making the empire stronger. Almost every time, he led by example, trying to use his status as crown prince to influence and change things.
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow, and he paid a heavy price.
Having experienced betrayal, narrowly escaped death, and finally fought his way back in a desperate battle, Xu Tianran had long since shattered his original ambitions.
Xu Tianran gave Jing Hongchen a deep look, the scrutinizing look in his eyes dissipating, and the smile on his face losing some of its mockery. "I didn't expect the Hall Master to be so insightful about the ways of the world, but listening to him, I feel a bit of familiarity with him."
"Ye Nanxiao, the hall master should be very familiar with him."
Jing Hongchen didn't hide anything and readily admitted, "Yes, I learned these words from Ye Nanxiao. They're supposedly called 'chicken soup for the soul.'"
"Chicken soup for the soul, chicken soup is a nourishing dish, does chicken soup for the soul mean to fill the void or deficiency in the soul? It's something he could come up with. If such a talent were to be used by me, how could I worry that the empire's iron cavalry couldn't conquer the entire continent?"
Xu Tianran sighed, a look of regret on his face, but a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
"People like this deserve to come to the Sun Moon Empire, whether they like it or not!"
