Chapter 464: Chapter 211: Tributor
Fan Zhengchu’s words made Qin Fang blink, and then realization dawned on him.
...’So a Hall Master’s True Inheritance acting as Chief Steward is actually more of a mascot role than one with any real substance.’
’It symbolizes the Sect’s emphasis on the Sacrificial Hall.’
’It’s also a concrete manifestation of the principle that ’the Court and the Sect rule the world together’.’
’But in reality... the Sacrificial Hall has been running for so many years that it already has a well-established system. It doesn’t need him to pay much attention to it at all.’
’Besides... didn’t they also send Senior Sister Wen to assist him?’
At this thought, Qin Fang couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the exceptionally radiant and charming Senior Sister Wen beside him. When she saw him looking, she gave him a gentle smile.
It made Qin Fang’s heart beat a little faster.
After taking a deep breath, he said, "In that case... this disciple understands."
"Mm, then get ready. You can go down the mountain with your senior sister in a little while."
"Don’t worry about it too much. The Sacrificial Hall is just a post, and it’s right in Lanyang City. If you want to come back to the Sect, you can return anytime."
After smiling and nodding, Fan Zhengchu gave Qin Fang an encouraging pat on the shoulder and turned to enter the main hall.
Qin Fang let out a light sigh, then looked at the radiant Senior Sister Wen. He clasped his hands and said with a wry smile, "Senior Sister, I’ll be depending on you from now on... I’m completely in the dark about the various Government Offices in Lanyang City."
Senior Sister Wen covered her mouth and chuckled. "Don’t worry, it’s not difficult at all. Don’t you have a Personal Guard named Qian Ruhai? He couldn’t be more familiar with Lanyang City. He’s also an Inner Sect Disciple and your Personal Guard, so he can be considered part of our Guiyuan Lineage... Why don’t you just summon him?"
Only then did Qin Fang remember Qian Ruhai, and he nodded repeatedly. "Right, there’s still Qian Ruhai... That guy really does know Lanyang City’s establishments like the back of his hand."
"Mm, shall we go then?"
Qin Fang nodded, then said suddenly, "Should we bring Xile along too?"
"Of course."
His senior sister agreed with a gentle smile.
Qin Fang called out to Xile, leaped onto the dog’s back, and then gestured to his senior sister. "Senior Sister, hurry and get on."
The senior sister, who had been about to fly, was stunned for a moment. After a small smile, she moved and leaped onto Xile’s back as well, sitting side-by-side with Qin Fang on its broad back.
Qin Fang patted Xile’s neck. With a HOWL, Xile’s four paws took flight, and it charged forward, carrying Qin Fang and his senior sister.
"Sigh, Senior Sister is going to take a post at the Sacrificial Hall. Now there’s no one to guide us in our cultivation..."
"Sigh... I guess we’ll just have to do more missions."
"Hey, do you guys feel... that Senior Brother Qin and Senior Sister Wen make a really good couple...?"
A female disciple suddenly whispered to her close sisters beside her.
But her voice naturally didn’t escape the ears of the surrounding disciples. Hearing this, their eyes lit up one by one.
"You know... now that you mention it, you’re right!"
"Senior Sister isn’t actually that old... Although she’s a bit older than Senior Brother Qin, they’re both True Essence experts with extremely long lifespans. With their Talent, they could both live for several thousand years! A mere age gap of a few decades is nothing at all!"
"If Senior Sister and Senior Brother really become Dao Companions... that would truly be a wonderful story for the ages!"
Twenty and sixty years old sounds like a world of difference.
One is full of youthful vigor, the other is on the verge of old age.
But what if it’s one thousand and twenty versus one thousand and sixty?
...They’re both just old coots!
While the flames of gossip burned fiercely among the Inner Sect Disciples of Guiyuan Valley, Qin Fang and his senior sister had already ridden Xile down the mountain.
Arriving in the Inner City, Qin Fang naturally rode Xile to his own home.
This was the senior sister’s first time at Qin Fang’s home, and she looked around with considerable curiosity.
Xile leaped directly into the manor... startling the servants within.
But when they saw clearly who was on Xile’s back, they were stunned for a moment before quickly and respectfully bowing. "Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Master."
Qin Fang nodded to them and went straight to the courtyard residence.
Qing Zhu and Lan Xin, hearing the commotion, also hurried out of the main house, just in time to see Qin Fang and his senior sister dismounting from the dog’s back.
"Greetings, Master."
"Greetings, Master."
The two women curtsied in greeting.
Qin Fang, who was in the middle of introducing his home to his senior sister, glanced at them and, being in a good mood, nodded with a smile.
The senior sister turned her head and saw the two pretty maids. A subtle glint flashed in her eyes as she smiled gently. "Junior Brother, your residence is managed so elegantly. I didn’t expect... that even your maids would be so clever and lovely."
Qin Fang froze, an inexplicable chill running down his spine. He explained almost subconsciously, "They were arranged by Qian Ruhai to take care of the residence for me..."
He looked at his senior sister and saw she was watching him with a half-smile, which made him falter slightly.
The two Maids also subconsciously looked up. When they saw the radiant and poised Senior Sister Wen, their gazes froze on her.
Then they quickly and obediently lowered their heads, not daring to look again...
Qin Fang inexplicably sensed a somewhat delicate atmosphere. He cleared his throat and said, "Have someone go notify Qian Ruhai and tell him to wait for me here... Xile, no running around, you watch the house... Senior Sister, shall we head to the Sacrificial Hall first?"
His senior sister said nothing, simply nodding with a gentle smile.
Xile laughed at him, but Qin Fang knew it would obey.
The two of them immediately took to the sky and departed.
Only after the two had flown far away did the two Maids let out a long breath. They looked up at the departing figures, a hint of melancholy in their eyes...
The Sacrificial Hall’s Government Office was in the Outer City. The two flew through the sky, passing over the Inner Sect Haiman, where the Black Armored Soldiers on duty quickly raised their polearms in salute.
Before long, the two had landed in the outer courtyard of the Sacrificial Hall.
There were also members of the Black Armor Army on duty in the courtyard, but at the same time, there were also several disciples from within the Sect.
When the two of them suddenly descended from the sky, everyone subconsciously looked over.
