Xu Fengnian didn't seem to care much about his father.
"Feng Nian, you're getting on in years."
"Among these maids, if one doesn't work out, should we just find another one?"
Xu Xiao smiled broadly at Xu Fengnian before speaking.
Xu Fengnian ignored him completely and continued to scatter fish bait onto the lake.
Seeing the sight of thousands of carp swimming towards the sky, I naturally felt quite happy.
"Look how carefree the fish in this lake are."
"A person's life is short, only a few decades, so they need to have their own goals."
After a long while, Xu Fengnian finally spoke softly.
Xu Xiao was somewhat bewildered, not knowing what his precious son meant by those words.
"Yes, what you said makes some sense."
"But no matter what, a man's ambition should be to travel far and wide, but shouldn't one first settle down and start a family before building a career?"
"Alright, you can make your own decisions."
"I really can't be bothered to care."
Xu Xiao sighed helplessly, left after saying those few words, and turned to leave.
At that moment, he did not notice that a hawk was circling above the Northern Cold Prince's mansion.
Xu Fengnian glanced at Xu Xiao, who was walking further and further away from him, put two fingers in his mouth, and whistled.
The hawks circling overhead swooped down directly from the sky...
Although the hawk was incredibly fierce in the sky, it became much more docile when it approached Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry and simply took a piece of paper from the hawk's leg.
"The Liyang Dynasty retrieves the Golden Dragon Egg."
The handwriting on the note was a bit crooked and not very neat, but the content of it still gave Xu Fengnian a fright.
What a joke! That golden dragon egg was refined by a martial saint in the human world.
Although no golden dragon has hatched yet.
However, with the abilities of a martial saint among mortals, even among all the people in the world who could achieve this.
It probably hasn't been born yet.
Xu Fengnian's face was somewhat serious. He crumpled the note and threw it directly into the lake.
"What a terrible Li Yang Dynasty! They are truly irreconcilable enemies with my Northern Han."
"For so many years, we have kept to ourselves and the Li Yang Dynasty."
"What, are you worried that we in Beihan are going to rebel?"
Xu Fengnian said a few words to himself.
He turned and walked towards his room.
"Hey Lao Huang, you're still drinking 3.6 bottles of liquor. Stop wasting your time drinking all day."
"There's something very important that I need you to come with me. How about it? Are you interested?"
After Xu Fengnian returned to his room.
Turning around, I saw Old Huang holding his wine gourd and gulping down wine, which made me feel a little annoyed.
When Lao Huang saw Xu Fengnian return to the room, he stopped what he was doing and pursed his lips.
He placed the wine gourd on the table, glanced at Xu Fengnian, and said directly:
"Where are we going again, young master? I'm not going to that desolate place."
Chapter 153 Another Guest Arrives
After hearing what Lao Huang said, Xu Fengnian did not react at all, but just looked at Lao Huang.
"What? You used to eat and drink well with the young master for those years, and now you're saying something like that?"
"You old man, aren't you being a bit too heartless?"
Xu Fengnian said something to Lao Huang, and Lao Huang immediately turned his mouth away and hid it behind his ear.
"You're kidding me, young master."
"Don't even mention those years, those were years when we didn't know where our next meal would come from."
"Following the young master all this way, we've really gone hungry nine times in three days."
After saying this, Lao Huang came to Xu Fengnian's side.
He grinned at Xu Fengnian, revealing a large, yellow tooth missing a front tooth.
"Speak, young master."
"Wherever you're going, I, Lao Huang, will accompany you."
Xu Fengnian placed his hand directly on Lao Huang's head, his expression somewhat playful.
"What are you saying? Let me tell you, I'm just informing you, not discussing it with you."

"Let's go. This time, let's go to Wangjian Mountain and have a chat with the Martial Saint of the Mortal World."
Xu Fengnian spoke very casually, but Lao Huang thought that Xu Fengnian was being a bit too disrespectful.
Even if this kid has some skill now, so what?
Not to mention him, even if it were Old Huang himself.
With the skill of wielding a sword for nine thousand miles, he was no match for that martial saint among men.
It's just a smattering of skill.
"What? Young Master, what do you mean by that? I thought I was going to go out and eat and drink the finest things in the world with you."
"I never imagined that young master would send Old Huang to his death for you!"
"I'm not going, I'm not going!"
As Old Huang spoke, he took two steps back and sat down on the broken bench.
"Didn't I just tell you? I'm just letting you know that we're setting off tomorrow."
"Whether you go or not, if you don't go, then I'll go by myself."
After Xu Fengnian finished speaking, he was about to leave when Old Huang quickly stood up from the stool and tugged at Xu Fengnian's arm.
"You're unaware of this, sir, aren't you?"
"If the young master left without the master's knowledge, it would be somewhat inappropriate."
"When the time comes to blame Lao Huang, he really won't have anything to say."
After hearing this, Xu Fengnian smiled slightly.
He knew that Lao Huang had agreed to his request.
According to common sense, one should inform one's father upon leaving the Northern Cold Prince's residence.
At the very least, he needs to know that he's gone out.
If there's no notification at all, wouldn't that seem a bit too unruly?
"Don't worry, that old man is very clear about my every move."
After saying this, Xu Fengnian didn't continue speaking, but simply walked out of the room.
Early the next morning, the master and servant headed directly towards Wangjian Mountain.
In Xu Fengnian's mind, even the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm possessed superhuman abilities.
It's not even in the same league as my martial arts.
However, under these circumstances, Bei Han had already pledged allegiance to the Human Martial Saint.
Under these circumstances, I shouldn't have had any major problems in the past.
Even if he looks down on me, shouldn't he at least give my old man some face?
Along the way, Lao Huang kept grumbling, complaining that Xu Fengnian hadn't told Xu Xiao about his trip.
"Oh dear, who knows what kind of punishment the master will give me when I get back."
"Young master, you shouldn't do that again next time."
"This really made Lao Huang cry. Next time, I must get him a few more jars of Shaoxing wine."
Xu Fengnian completely ignored the old man beside him.
After all, it wouldn't be long before they reached the pass of Wangjian Mountain.
"Alright, alright, the pass of Wangjian Mountain is just ahead."
