Chen Jie is meticulously preparing for the Commandery Princess's wedding, overseeing extravagant decorations and feasts in Huangzhou Prefecture. He also extends invitations to numerous influential figures across the land, including his sworn brothers and leaders of various sects. Meanwhile, the Emperor is furious about the marriage but ultimately uses the event to project an image of benevolence and embrace of talent, even as the Ruyang King frames the marriage as a means to bring Chen Jie back into the imperial fold.

These days, he just stays inside his Ming King Hall all day. He’s either fighting crickets or indulging in beauties, watching dance performances, complete with the demeanor of someone utterly hopeless, as we might say in modern terms, our Little Ming King has completely checked out.

This puts the burden of the Sect Leader’s responsibilities directly onto Liu Futong’s shoulders, leaving Liu Futong tirelessly going through various memorials and handling the affairs of the Zoroastrian Sect across the world.

Even though it may seem that the Zoroastrian Sect is declining now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

The Zoroastrian Sect still has a lot of business in various parts of the world.

At this moment, Liu Futong was troubled over the business in front of him when he saw a messenger hurriedly rushing over. Seeing the messenger in such a state, Liu Futong asked, "What is causing you such panic?"

The messenger then said, "Reporting to the Venerable, the Flying Eagle Transmission from Huangzhou Prefecture."

"Huangzhou Prefecture, is it from my fourth brother? Quickly bring it up."

Upon hearing it was a letter from his fourth brother Chen Jiusi, Liu Futong immediately eagerly requested it.

Receiving the letter from the messenger, Liu Futong began to read it thoroughly, and a smile appeared on Liu Futong’s face as he finished reading.

"My fourth brother is getting married, haha, a great thing, a great thing indeed!"

Liu Futong was filled with joy. Holding the letter in his hand, he read it carefully, noting the marriage with the Commandery Princess. Hmm, truly a match made in heaven.

If it were with an ordinary Mulan, Liu Futong would surely be against it, but with the Commandery Princess, he was quite supportive, whether it was the Commandery Princess’s refusal of the Empress position out of loyalty to him or how they got along during those few days in the Great Capital, making Liu Futong more accepting of Zhao Ya.

So Liu Futong put down the invitation and said to the messenger below, "Go call Mr. Guan."

Upon hearing this, the messenger immediately went to find Mr. Guan and soon found Mr. Duozhi Fox Guan.

"Venerable, you were looking for me?"

Mr. Guan asked upon entering. At this moment, Liu Futong looked at Mr. Guan and said, "My fourth brother is getting married, and in the next few days, I will go to Huangzhou Prefecture. Affairs on Bright Peak will be temporarily taken over by you."

Mr. Guan, upon hearing this, looked at Liu Futong and said, "Oh, Dharma King Chen is getting married? Then I must prepare a substantial gift, after all, we are colleagues!"

Liu Futong replied, "That’s your own matter, if you need to prepare, I can bring it for you."

Mr. Guan said, "Yes, yes, this gift must be taken, I will go prepare it now."

Mr. Guan retreated, and soon the news of Chen Jiusi’s upcoming marriage spread. Liu Futong thought about what gift to prepare for Chen Jie, when his granddaughter, Liu Caidie, along with Han Ling’er, came running over, saying, "Grandfather."

Liu Futong, seeing his granddaughter, was somewhat surprised and asked, "What are you two here for?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Caidie said, "We heard that Chen Jiusi is getting married, Ling’er and I thought about going to see the excitement."

Liu Futong frowned slightly and said, "Now, with soldiers in turmoil, staying at Bright Peak is the safest. Why are you running around everywhere?"

Hearing this, Liu Caidie looked at Liu Futong and said, "Grandfather, there’s no danger being with you. Please, take us out for a look, we’re about to turn into stones staying at Bright Peak."

At this moment, Han Ling’er also spoke up, "Venerable, take us with you. We also want to send our blessings to Chen Jiusi, after all, we’re quite familiar with each other."

Upon hearing this, Liu Futong frowned slightly. Han Ling’er and Liu Caidie continued to plead, and Liu Futong couldn’t withstand their pleading any longer, saying, "You’re not allowed to cause trouble, you must follow instructions, don’t act recklessly, otherwise, I won’t take you!"

Han Ling’er and Liu Caidie immediately nodded vigorously like little chicks pecking at rice, saying, "Yes, yes, we’re the most obedient ones!"

These two young women openly stated they wanted to go to watch the excitement, and the news quickly spread to the Ming King Hall, where Little Ming King was currently enjoying beautiful women dancing. Upon hearing about Chen Jiusi’s marriage and that he was marrying the Commandery Princess of Ruyang King,

his expression turned somewhat odd, and after a long while, he finally said, "Go prepare a gift for him."

At this moment, a confidant beside him said, "Ming King, that Chen Jiusi, as one of our Cult Members, dares to marry a Mulan dog’s woman. This shows he completely disregards our sect’s teachings, a desecration of the Ming King. Ming King should issue a reprimand!"

Upon hearing this, Little Ming King looked at this confidant and asked, "How long have you been with me?"

The confidant immediately replied, "I was just transferred back to Bright Peak from the Northwest."

Little Ming King looked at the person beside him and said, "Come, send this guy back from where he came from. I don’t want to see him again, let him go!"

"Ah, Ming King, I’m wronged, I’m wronged!"

At this moment, the confidant was dragged away, and Little Ming King looked in the direction of that person and said, "I may be young, but I’m not stupid. This fool thinks I’m a Mulan trying to trick me. Such brainless people must not be allowed near me again, understand?"

Everyone around immediately responded positively to these words. Little Ming King’s trip to the Great Capital this time was actually quite enlightening because he thoroughly understood himself. He realized he wasn’t some Heavenly Pride, nor like his father, a leader among the heavens. He recognized his mediocrity, therefore he didn’t harbor too many other ambitions.

Now he just wants to pass life by comfortably, as for ruling the world, that’s not something he should be thinking about. With so many monsters in the world, someone like him, akin to a little lamb, entering the chaos would be seeking death.

In this life, he only wants to be a wealthy landowner, with enough food and drink to satisfy him, as for the rest, he has no intentions at all.
