Chapter 102: Yuwai Kingdom
Finally, he had broken through to the Ninth Order!
The sky grew brighter, and Huang Xiaolong stopped training happily in his heart.
The Ninth Order in any family or large county within the territory of Luo Tong Kingdom was a power in its own right. In the previous Huang Clan Manor, other than Huang Qide, only Chief Steward Chen Ying was a Ninth Order expert.
Those who were called the Elders of the Huang Clan Residence were only at the Eighth Order or worse, the peak of the Seventh Order.
Huang Xiaolong walked out of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda room.
As he exited from there and exited the room, he met Fei Hou; looking at him, Fei Hou exclaimed in shock, "Sovereign, could it be you ?!" He was already a Xiantian expert and Huang Xiaolong had unintentionally hidden his breath fluctuations, so Fei Hou noticed the difference at first glance.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and laughed: "I was lucky and I was able to break through last night."
Fei Hou felt a dizzy spell.
Any luck?
To Fei Hou, it felt as if every day he would find a breakthrough Sovereign fortune!
But isn't this lucky coincidence rate a little too abnormal?
After a while, Fei Hou held the shock in his heart, but he still hesitated for a moment.
"Sovereign, this subordinate wants to take a trip home." Fei Hou honestly conveyed his request.
"Go home?" Huang Xiaolong choked; and puzzled for a moment, he still had not connected the dots. Fei Hou had been following Huang Xiaolong for seven years, but he had never mentioned anything about his family. That was why when Fei Hou mentioned this matter, he was a bit slow in understanding it.
“Ya, Ruler. Just now, a letter came from my son: he said next month my eldest grandson is getting married and I have not been back for seven years. Therefore, this Subordinate wants to go home and have a look.” Fei Hou explained, feeling a little embarrassed.
When Huang Xiaolong recovered, he smiled and said, "Fei Hou, this is a happy big event ah, there's no need to feel ashamed." he asked: "Then, where is your house?"
"This branch is the Royal Marquis of Yuwai." Fei Hou replied.
Yuwai Kingdom? Huang Xiaolong was shocked by this news.
It occurred to Huang Xiaolong that Fei Hou might not be a local of Luo Tong Kingdom, but he did not expect Fei Hou to become a Marquis of Yuwai Kingdom.
Luo Tong Kingdom was located on the southern side of the Silver Moon Forest while Yuwai Kingdom was on the northern side. This knowledge was gained from the hours he spent in the Academy library; The Yuwai Kingdom was one of the strongest kingdoms among the thousands of kingdoms under the Duanren Empire and was much stronger than the Luo Tong Kingdom many times over.
"When do you plan to go?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
"This branch is planning to leave in two more days." Fei Hou replied.
“How about this, I will make this trip with you to Yuwai Kingdom.” Huang Xiaolong 'suggested' in a low voice.
Fei Hou was surprised: "Sovereign, you want to come with this Subordinate to Yuwai Kingdom, then….?"
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand nonchalantly, and laughed, “Since this is your eldest grandchild's wedding, no matter what happens, I also have to prepare a wedding present, moreover, I also want to look at a new place. Am I not accepted?”
Ever since he came to this world, other than the Luo Tong Kingdom, Huang Xiaolong's time was spent in the training of the Silver Moon Forest and therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to go out.
Fei Hou quickly smiled, "Sovereign will leave with this Subordinate, of course, I am very happy."
Huang Xiaolong said, “Then you go and make the right arrangements; we will leave the day after.”
"Yes, thank You Sovereign!" Fei Hou replied respectfully, turned around and left to make arrangements.
After Fei Hou left, Huang Xiaolong went to the main hall. Both of his parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan were there, and Huang Xiaolong told them that he would go to Yuwai Kingdom with Fei Hou within two days.
When they heard it, although it was a little unexpected, no one objected.
"Is Young back by the end of the year?" Huang Peng asked.
"Not sure-if nothing happens, we should be back in six months." Huang Xiaolong gave an estimate.
Then, Huang Xiaolong gave his parents roughly ten Flame Dragon Pearls and explained a little about the management of the Nine Tripod Trades. Fei Hou was the one in charge of the Nine Tripod Trade, and now that Fei Hou was about to leave, these things needed to be dealt with by his parents. Fortunately, his parents were involved in some aspects, and with Marshal Haotian behind them, there should be no problem.
Two days passed.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou left the Luo Tong Kingdom and they were expelled by a group of families.
Just like before when he left the Royal City, Huang Xiaolong would ask Marshal Haotian to keep his parents and younger siblings safe.
After leaving Luo Tong Royal City, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou came to the Silver Moon Forest. Once they broke through the forest, they would arrive at the border of Yuwai Kingdom. This was the fastest route; while rushing, the two of them could kill some demonic beasts and train.
Two months passed.
In a quiet night.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou sat by the campfire, lighting up a small area in the dark forest.
Two months passed and the two of them had arrived at the northernmost part of the Silver Moon Forest; tomorrow, they might be able to cross the border towards Yuwai Kingdom.
Sitting close to the campfire, even as Xiantian Fei Hou could not help but feel elated thinking that he would return to Fei Manor.
It was seven years of farewell, how much Fei Manor changed when he was not around…..
Seeing Fei Hou's face, Huang Xiaolong empathized with his mood.
The first year he left the Huang Clan Manor and back at the end of the year, he felt the same way on the way from Luo Tong Royal City to the Huang Clan Manor.
"Ten more days, we will reach Yuwai Royal City, right?" Huang Xiaolong spoke.
“That's right, Sovereign,” Fei Hou added, “That year when I left, Fei Ming that little boy was only seventeen years old. Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, and the boy was already married!”
Fei Ming was Fei Hou's eldest grandson.
In the letter of his son, Fei Rong, this eldest grandson had broken through to the Seventh Order, and this made Fei Hou feel comforted; when he left, Fei Ming was only the late Fifth Order.
The night slowly faded.
And dawn inched from the horizon; huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou continued on their way and one day later, they came out of the Silver Moon Forest, reaching the borders of Yuwai Kingdom.
Still, at the speed of Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, they needed at least eight to nine days to reach Yuwai Imperial City.
When they entered the land of Yuwai Kingdom, the two would only delay a little time in the city to rest that night.
Six days passed.
As the two got closer to their destination, three more cities appeared, and soon, they would reach Yuwai Royal City.
While Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou were rushing over, two carriages came from behind and as they approached them, a surprised cry sounded, "Is Senior Fei Hou?"
This made Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou turn to look, and they saw one of the horse carriages stop, and from inside the carriage, a young lady in her twenties came out.
Coming before Fei Hou, the beautiful young lady had a surprise shining in her eyes. Sounding a little blown away, he asked again: "Is Senior Fei Hou?"
Fei Hou observed the young lady in front of him with a puzzled expression, nodded, and said, "I'm Fei Hou, and you?" He really did not remember who this young lady in front of him was.
Note:
The Yuwai Kingdom – Yuwai here means an outer domain/region and seems strange to a kingdom, so pinyin is used.
