Two weeks later.
At the interstellar port of Jade Candle Star, an E9-class spaceship manufactured in a Virtual Universe slowly landed.
The hatch was not yet open.
The staff outside were already on high alert, and many of them wore expressions of restraint and tension.
The E9 spaceship produced in the Virtual Universe is worth thousands of Hunyuan Unit; it is generally the vehicle of Immortal God.
Even the Immortal Kapu, who was stationed on Jade Candle Star, received the news during the spaceship's docking and sent people to keep a close watch on it...
After all, his vehicle was just the same type of spaceship.
Anyone who owns such a spaceship is undoubtedly a very important figure within the Ganwu Universe Country!
The hatch opened.
Lu Qingshan, dressed in a long blue robe, slowly walked out.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
All the hundreds of port staff bowed in unison... The port's chief manager, a Domain Lord Level official, wore a fawning smile.
"Hmm." Lu Qingshan casually flicked out a Universe Coin. "This is the spaceship's annual parking fee."
The Domain Lord quickly reached out to catch it, then carefully inquired, "Is this your first time visiting Jade Candle Star, sir? Would you like a guide or introduction?"
"Need not!"
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, ignoring these people, and disappeared from the harbor.
During his three months on the spaceship, he had seen all the major and minor powers on Jade Candle Star. With his level of authority, he might not even know Jade Candle Star as well as the local guides.
"According to Kevin's father, Kerry has been living in Cloudfall City since he came to Jade Candle Star, so let's go check that out first..."
Cloudfall City is a small city on the border of Jade Candle Star, and it is the territory of the Wen Family family, World Lord family.
Jade Candle Star is a giant planet with a diameter of about 200,000 kilometers and a volume 3,800 times that of Earth. It is divided into hundreds of cities of varying sizes. Because there are many branches of the Golden Sword Empire's powerful families here, a World Lord can only occupy one city.
Of course, any World Lord family has a vast territory. The Wen Family, which occupies a city, also has territory in dozens of star systems in other parts of the Golden Sword Universe Country.
Cloudfall City on a high plateau on the planet Jade Candle Star, and the city is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, hence its name.
Lu Qingshan passed through the clouds and soon landed on an open space.
His consciousness quickly covered the entire city; he could see every blade of grass and every tree in Cloudfall City.
In less than a minute, Lu Qingshan had surveyed the entire city and, among hundreds of millions of residents, he accurately located Kerry's presence.
"Thankfully, this guy is still alive... he just seems to be a little injured..."
Lu Qingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Kevin had a son late in life and doted on Kerry. Over the years, he has focused on managing his business on the Qiu Long Star, largely to leave his son a foundation that would allow him to support himself.
If Kerry dies, it will be a huge blow to his father-in-law, Kevin.
Lu Qingshan moved swiftly and appeared beside Kerry in an instant.
This brother-in-law bears a striking resemblance to his wife, Catherine, sharing long, fiery red hair and handsome features—a universally acknowledged beauty.
"Who--"
Sensing someone was there, Kerry drew a War Blade, his eyes filled with vigilance.
" Kerry, don't you remember me?"
Lu Qingshan spoke.
As he spoke, the dim room brightened, and Kerry's hazy consciousness gradually cleared, allowing him to see the person's face clearly. He looked on with surprise and delight.
Brother-in-law, what brings you here?
However, his expression then changed slightly.
"Brother-in-law, you need to get out of here right now!"
What happened?
Lu Qingshan remained calm and unhurried, pulling up a chair and sitting down to the side.
"Brother-in-law... I've gotten into trouble. I'm being watched now. You need to leave immediately, or you'll be implicated."
Kerry's voice was weak but urgent.
Although he learned from his father decades ago that his brother-in-law had broken through to the Domain Lord realm, the enemy he faced was clearly beyond the capabilities of a mere Domain Lord.
"How can I leave if you don't explain things clearly? Besides, it was Father who sent me here. He's very worried about you. Why didn't you answer his calls?"
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.
Kerry offered a helpless explanation.
"Brother-in-law, Father is very intelligent, and he's at a crucial stage in his breakthrough to the World Lord. If I talk to him like this, he'll definitely notice something's wrong. If he comes here, wouldn't that be putting Father in danger?"
As for my trouble...
Seeing that Lu Qingshan wouldn't leave, he had no choice but to tell him what had happened to him.
"During my space adventure, I met someone I admired. Her name is Wen Xinyue, and I like to call her Little Sister Wen..." A warm smile appeared on Kerry's face. "She is the eldest daughter of the Wen Family in Cloudfall City."
"Oh, so it's one of those rich girl parents looking down on poor boys and even beating you up badly?"
Lu Qingshan immediately pictured this scene in his mind.
With the foundation of Qiu Long Star, it is indeed no match for the accumulation of a World Lord's family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are a poor boy and a rich girl.
Kerry is a smooth talker and good-looking guy, so it's normal for him to be targeted by rich women.
"Brother-in-law, it's not like that!" Kerry said, both amused and exasperated. " Little Sister Wen and I are truly in love, and we're expecting our child. Although the Wen Family has some reservations, they haven't objected... They just wanted Little Sister Wen to give birth at their Wen Family, so I could be by her side... That was the plan, but..."
Kerry coughed a few times.
"Until that Cang Ming returned, he was a genius from the Cang Family family, another World Lord family on Jade Candle Star. That wouldn't have been so bad, since the Wen Family was also World Lord family, so there was nothing to fear. But what's more, this Cang Ming was Universe Level genius from the Ganwu Mystic Region!"
"He said he likes Little Sister Wen, he's liked her since childhood, and he wants to marry Little Sister Wen... The Wen Family is helpless against him and doesn't dare to offend him at all, while I... can't even withstand a single move from him!"
A bitter look appeared on Kerry's face. "He's too strong, brother-in-law. Even though you've broken through to the Domain Lord, you might not be his match. Besides... he's a genius from the Ganwu Mystic Region, backed by the Cang Family family, a World Lord family... and he might have other powerful backers in the Ganwu Mystic Region."
Lu Qingshan's expression was strange. "That Little Sister Wen is pregnant with your child and about to give birth, and that guy still won't give up?"
Kerry's face darkened with anger. "That guy is a bastard, and a lunatic too. He said he likes my little sister even more now that she's pregnant, and he even said he'd help raise the child after it's born!"
"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh. The twists and turns of the story had exceeded his expectations.
I thought it would be a classic case of Xiao Yan's fortunes changing every thirty years, but who knew that Chancellor Cao would suddenly turn the tables on him?
"Brother-in-law, how can you still be laughing? If my little sister were forced to marry him, I definitely wouldn't be able to survive."
"It's alright... It's just a World Lord's family. Brother-in-law will help you get justice."
"Brother-in-law, the Cang Family..."
Kerry thought his brother-in-law hadn't listened to what he'd said before, but when he saw the lightning Origin Mark appearing between Lu Qingshan's brows, he gaped in disbelief.
"Brother-in-law, you... you suddenly... broke through to the World Lord, and even gained the Origin Law Recognition?"
Having spent years traveling and experiencing life, Kerry was quite knowledgeable and naturally understood what the changes in her brother-in-law represented.
There are probably not even 10 World Lord Origin Law Recognition in this vast Golden Sword Empire.
"Hehe, didn't your father-in-law tell you about this? It seems he was afraid it would be a blow to you."
Lu Qingshan replied with a smile.
"But that person is a genius from the Ganwu Mystic Region! If he doesn't let this go..."
"I forgot to tell you, my brother-in-law is now Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner, and Special-Class Instructor in the Ganwu Mystic Region... A genius, daring to be so insolent in front of me?"
Lu Qingshan reached out and took out a drop of Locke Divine Water.
He himself did not carry any treasures to heal his injuries; all the countless treasures he had stolen from the Treasure Pavilion were with the Ghost King Avatar.
The few remaining drops of Locke Divine Water were remnants left over from the Star-Eating Grass's breakthrough.
"Take this medicine, recover from your injuries, and I'll take you to the Wen Family to propose marriage on your behalf!"
