Zhou Weiqing rubbed his head, then said, “But… there’s honestly a lot of things I need to handle. I probably won’t be able to head out just yet.”
Shangguan Tianyang said, “The Xuantian Continent is tens of thousands of kilometers away from us, and Xuantian Palace is also incredibly strong. To ‘take food from the tiger’s mouth’ from them won’t be easy. You will need a great deal of time, so I hope you begin to act as soon as possible. As for your other matters, leave them to us. This old man swears to you as the Palace Lord of Heaven’s Expanse Palace that before you return, I absolutely will not permit the Heavenly Bow Empire to suffer any harm at all. I’ll also take care of your father’s safety. Once you return, I’ll send people to support you in restoring the kingdom and in rescuing your family members. Before you go, Tianyue and I will also officially engage you to Xue’er, Fei’er, and Bing’er. What do you think?”
Shangguan Tianyang’s words were extremely enticing to Zhou Weiqing. He had never imagined that the Palace Lord of Heaven’s Expanse Palace would be so straightforward! Without question, Zhou Weiqing’s worries were centered around his family and the Heavenly Bow Empire. With this promise from Heaven’s Expanse Palace, he now had nothing to fear.
He had never imagined that his marriage to the three Shangguan sisters would be approved so handily as well. As he saw it, there was definitely no problem with him marrying Bing’er, and he had a chance at Fei’er, but Shangguan Xue’er? Who was she? She was the heir and successor to the Palace Lord of Heaven’s Expanse Palace! If he was going to be officially engaged to her, then that meant that Shangguan Tianyang was virtually handing over half of Heaven’s Expanse Palace into his hands. In other words, the old man had shown the greatest amount of sincerity possible. It wasn’t really a ‘conditional offer’; something like this could only be described as ‘sincerity’. Zhou Weiqing was truly surprised that Shangguan Tianyang would act in such a way towards a junior like himself.
The nearby Shangguan Fei’er couldn’t help but say: “Senior Uncle, does Weiqing really have to go? We have no idea what is going on in the Xuantian Continent. It’ll be very dangerous!” The other three women had ugly looks on their faces as well.
Shangguan Tianyang let out sigh. “Weiqing might not be a truly supreme powerhouse, but his future potential is limitless. This is especially true now that he has Saint Energy. Now that he has changed a misfortune into a blessing and broken through to the nine-Jeweled stage, on the whole he’s just as strong as any Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. He’s also extremely young. It’ll be easy for him to hide himself in the Xuantian Continent and he won’t be easily noticed. That’s why I cannot think of a better choice than him.”
Shangguan Tianyang was telling the truth. Although there were some other powerful Heavenly Jewel Masters outside the five Great Saint Lands, such as Zhou Weiqing’s master the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya, they were incredibly rare. It would be very hard and time-consuming to find them, and even if they were found these Heavenly Emperor powerhouses wouldn’t necessarily agree to act on the behalf of Heaven’s Expanse Palace. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing was agile, clever, knew many survival techniques, and could use Saint Energy. There was no way the others could compare to him in these regards. He was also on extremely good terms with Heaven’s Expanse Palace!
Zhou Weiqing chortled. “I agree that I’m the best suited. Since you’ve made the request, Uncle, I’ll move as fast as I can. I’ll put down everything else I’m working on and head straight to the Xuantian Continent to take back that Spatial Teleportation Gem. However, I cannot guarantee that I will succeed. You need to make backup preparations at Heavenly Jewel Island and ZhongTian City.”
When Shangguan Tianyang heard Zhou Weiqing accept, his face revealed a hint of a smile. “Weiqing, thanks in advance for the hard work. This matter involves our palace’s very survival. Once we lose Heavenly Jewel Island, we’ll soon no longer be considered the number one Great Saint Land of this continent. If there’s anything you need done, just leave it to us.”
Zhou Weiqing shook his head. “Aside from handling the dangers facing the Heavenly Bow Empire and my family members in Heavenly Bow City, there’s nothing else I need done. I’ll go by myself right away. You can simply update me on the situation a bit later.”
“Unacceptable!” Right at this moment, all four of the woman shouted the same thing simultaneously.
Shangguan Tianyang and Shangguan Tianyue, the two brothers, couldn’t help but stare at them in astonishment.
The four women’s faces reddened slightly. In the end, it was the lively Shangguan Fei’er who gave the reason why. She gave Zhou Weiqing a hard look, then said: “This guy is a total playboy. What if he brings more girls back from the Xuantian Continent? That’s why we have to go with him.”
Shangguan Tianyang’s face sank. “What nonsense! All of you are members of the Great Saint Lands. Are you going to have us go back on our word and the first to break our vows? Moreover, sending additional people will make us more conspicuous. If Weiqing goes by himself, he’ll also be able to slip away much more easily. He’s also already reached the nine-Jeweled stage. This experience is also a chance for him to establish his path for advancing to become a Heavenly King.”
Shangguan Fei’er pouted unhappily, but she was rather afraid of her Senior Uncle and didn’t dare to say anything else.
Right at this moment, Shangguan Bing’er suddenly summoned all her courage and walked forward: “I’ll go with Little Fatty. I don’t belong to the Saint Lands, I’ve never promised to join the Heaven’s expanse Palace, and I didn’t grow up here either.” After saying these words, she lowered her head in embarrassment. She had already been apart from Zhou Weiqing for three years. She truly did not wish to part with him again.
The nearby Shangguan Xue’er nodded. “I agree that having Bing’er go with Weiqing is more suitable. She can take watch over him and take care of his food and lodging. Bing’er is also skilled in speed; if anything dangerous happens, she would be able to escape alongside Weiqing.”
As she said this, she turned to glance at the nearby Tian’er. Her opinion clearly carried a great deal of weight. If she insisted that she was going to go with Zhou Weiqing, it wouldn’t be easy for Heaven’s Expanse Palace to stop her. Once she joined forces with Zhou Weiqing, both would be strengthened.
Something unexpected happened. Tian’er actually nodded and said to Zhou Weiqing, “Letting Bing’er go with you is a good choice. However… Bing’er, don’t be too merciful. Don’t let this bad man bring another one back! I’ll go back to Heavenly Snow Mountain to visit Father.” The final sentence was aimed at Zhou Weiqing.
Zhou Weiqing scratched his head. “I’m fine with whoever wants go with me.”
Shangguan Xue’er said, “After you go, Fei’er and I will go to the Heavenly Bow Empire.”
Zhou Weiqing naturally didn’t know that the reason why Tian’er didn’t insist on going with him to the Xuantian Continent was partially because the Saint Energy inside his body had already formed a perfect loop; there was now no longer any worry that it would wither away. The second, more important reason was because she wanted to demonstrate her friendship towards the three Shangguan sisters.
