Next day.

Qian Shi came back to Hong Feng City to clear up the chaos that was happening.

The Qing Feng Sect without the sect leader and one of its peak lords was in retreat.

They were without a leader and the disciples weren't sure what to do next.

Many were in fear of being killed by opposing sects, clans and families after what they had done.

Qian Shi would get rid of them if he could, but to stabilize the situation, it was best to let them get back to the Qing Feng Sect.

The next thing he did was to appoint one of the elders from the Sima Family to be the Guardian of the City.

And with that, the Sima Family took over the chaos and helped maintain the law and order.

Qian Shi wanted to pay Lin Xuan Qi a visit but he had to get back to Bian Jin to report the matter to the emperor as soon as possible.

He had to reluctantly leave and left a message for Lin Xuan Qi.

When Lin Xuan Qi got the letter from the messenger, he frowned at the invitation from Qian Shi to join the imperial court again.

He wasn't interested in any of it.

Being the head of the Lin Clan was where his heart was.

His friends and family were here in Hong Feng City and he wasn't going to uproot himself to pursue some elusive position in the imperial court.

"Xuan Qi, the banquet is ready." Xue Cong said and he nodded his head at her.

He had invited Sima Long, Sima Ye, Hun Xiong Kun, Liu Shao, Old Heng, young master Chew and their friends for a banquet just as he had promised them.

After all the hard work, it was also something that he was longing for.

When Sima Long saw him enter the dining hall, he carried his daughter, came up to Lin Xuan Qi and said, "Remember, this is rich uncle Lin."

His daughter glanced at Lin Xuan Qi with her rosy cheeks and tried to address him, "unc.. lin.."

Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smile and said, "You must be starving, let's begin the banquet now and get some good food."

Sima Dai Yu's eyes gleamed when she heard the word food.

He shook his head and chuckled when he saw that.

"At least she takes after me in some ways." Sima Long said and he tried to give his daughter a kiss.

But his daughter wasn't too happy with it.

She struggled to push him away and she cried loudly when Sima Long got his way.

"Tsk." Zhang Jie wasn't too pleased with what happened and she came over to carry Sima Dai Yu.

Sima Long sighed and passed his daughter over to his wife.

Lin Xuan Qi patted on the back of Sima Long and chuckled at him.

Both of them got into their seats and the banquet started.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the spread of food and all the friends and family that were with him.

He had come a long way since he stepped foot into this mansion.

Memories of how Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin, Liu Shi Shi, Zhi Yong and Lee He Song joined him came flooding back into his mind.

Then, there was Sima Long and Sima Ye.

So much had happened and he was grateful to have them with him.

There were also his business partners like Hun Xiong Kun, Liu Shao and the others who had joined later.

Every one of them was a great help to him when it mattered.

And he was looking for more opportunities with them.

Old Heng came over with his wine cup and asked, "About the Shopping Mall…"

Lin Xuan Qi knew what he was worried about and said, "Don't worry, everything has been settled.

"Nothing bad had happened to it and it will be business as usual as soon as things calm down in the city."

"That is great to hear." Old Heng nodded his head at him and said.

The business for the Shopping Mall was going great before what had happened.

It was a pity but if Lin Xuan Qi had the confidence that it would be back to normal as usual soon, Old Heng had faith in him.

He got back to his seat and told the good news to the others.

All of them were excited to hear it and they glanced at Lin Xuan Qi with a smile.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded at them and stood up with his wine cup in his hand.

"I'm sure that some of you are still reeling from the calamity that had just happened.

"I assure you that things will get better for all of us from now on.

"With the Sima Family in charge, we should be able to prosper beyond our wildest dreams.

"Here's a toast to our future."

He raised his wine cup and said.

The others did the same and shouted, "For our future!"

After he downed the wine in a mouthful, Lin Xuan Qi sat back down at his seat.

He rubbed Xue Cong's tummy and glanced at Yue Jie next.

"I'll make sure you will help extend the family tonight." Lin Xuan Qi whispered to Yue Jie and she blushed immediately.

"There are others…" She lowered her head and said.

He shook his head at her and marveled at Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.

It was a life he had never dreamed of or even dared to think about.

He didn't know what it was that helped him.

Was it luck?

Or was it fate and destiny?

He wasn't sure about the answer.

In fact, no one does and he wasn't going to try and figure it out.

The only thing that he knows is that he would treasure what he had at the moment and continue what he was doing.

And that is to work hard to make things even better for his friends and family.

As the autumn breeze blew outside the dining hall, the warmth, great food and chatter inside continued throughout the night.
