You Finally Came to See Me

"In that case, let us pack our things and set off immediately to seek the Dao!"

Hearing their senior brother say this, the junior brothers beside him immediately chimed in excitedly.

They have been cultivating within the mountain gate for so long, yet they still haven't grasped the essence of it.

Now that we finally see hope, how can we not be excited?

"Don't panic. Since you're going there to seek the Dao, you can't neglect the proper etiquette. Also, you need to go and inform your master about the etiquette you observed when you sought the Dao back then. Make sure you understand everything."

"Let's not give the impression that the cultivators of Jade and Gold Mountain have lost their manners."

Seeing his fellow disciples so excited, the Daoist quickly calmed them down and then carefully arranged for them to go and do what they needed to do.

Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately calmed down, nodded quickly, and went about their respective tasks.

Five days later, on Gold and Jade Mountain, countless cranes cried out and flew away in unison.

"Youjing City."

Fang Zelin stood under the city gate, looking carefully at the plaque hanging high above.

"Young master, the judges of the Underworld Bureau and the City God in this imperial city have such an immense sense of oppression."

Tianxi, who was following beside him, cautiously spoke to Fang Zelin.

She had only gotten a little closer to the imperial city when she could already feel the oppressive aura emanating from the Underworld Bureau.

This was also done intentionally by the Underworld Bureau in this area.

The main purpose was to intimidate the surrounding demons and make it clear to them that this was not a place they could come and go as they pleased.

"This is Law Technique cast by the Underworld Bureau to make you back down."

Fang Zelin is no longer the same person he was when he was seeking the Dao and knew nothing.

Upon hearing this, he immediately smiled and said something.

"Then, if I go in with you, young master, I should be fine, right?"

The Underworld Bureau has made it so clear: demons and monsters must stay away.

If she goes in with them, and is discovered, a conflict is likely to break out.

"Don't worry, you haven't done anything immoral or harmful in your cultivation so far. The officials in the Underworld Bureau also follow the rules and won't act recklessly."

"Besides, with Mr. Fang here, I'm sure he'll give me some face."

They've certainly had quite a few dealings with the Underworld Bureau.

Fang Zelin believed he could still gain some respect from the Underworld Bureau.

"However, we will not enter the city today; let's go to the imperial mausoleum first."

As he spoke, Fang Zelin waved his hand, but then changed direction.

Since one's close friend is already buried in the imperial mausoleum, the only way to visit them is to go to their grave.

Upon hearing this, Tianxi quickly followed with small steps.

"Does the young master have connections with the Great Qian Imperial Family?"

Having traveled a long way to come here, especially to visit the imperial tombs, it's as if I'm seeing an old friend.

This piqued her curiosity a little.

Fang Zelin nodded slightly. "The founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was my friend. Now that we're here, it's only right that we go and see him."

As they spoke, the two had already walked several kilometers.

When they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, they saw the soldiers stationed there.

Fang Zelin used a feint and swaggered past the soldiers.

Then, using his ability to pass through walls, he arrived at the tomb.

Looking at the inscription on the stone tablet, Fang Zelin was momentarily dazed.

"Huh?"

Just as Fang Zelin was about to look away, he suddenly noticed a line of small characters in the lower right corner of the stone tablet. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

You've come!

Good heavens, did they anticipate my return and deliberately carve these words on it?

Below these three characters, there is a Xiao Xiao arrow.

Following the arrow down, Fang Zelin immediately discovered a box buried under the stone tablet.

The magic was used to retrieve the box, and upon opening it, a letter was found hidden inside.

The words on the letter are still clearly visible today.

At a glance, it's clear that the paper and ink are not ordinary materials.

It seems this kid didn't know he would arrive in time and was worried that the writing would become blurry, which is why he used such ink and paper.

"You finally came to see me!"

Entering the first line of text, I felt the same lightness I had when I first met Fang Zelin.

Looking at this line of text, Fang Zelin couldn't help but recall the scenes from his conversation with the other party years ago.

Looking at this line of text now, I can't help but feel a little emotional.

Fang Zelin took the letter, plopped down on the ground, and took the gourd from his waist.

Place a wine glass in front of the deceased's tombstone and fill it to the brim.

"This is a century-old bottle of Clear as Empty, a top-quality wine. Even in my hands, it's a rare find. I've brought it to you now, so don't say I'm not being generous."

Fang Zelin poured the wine while laughing.

After filling the cup, he continued to look at the letter.

"Did you bring those fine wines you brewed? Pour them for me now! Damn it, I'm about to die, and you haven't even come to see me one last time. You have to wait until I'm buried to come."

There was a hint of resentment in his words.

Fang Zelin couldn't help but smile after reading it.

"I wonder how many years into the Great Qian Dynasty it will be when you come to see me, and which of my descendants will be on the throne? My Great Qian Dynasty should still be around, right?"

"Ever since I listened to your advice and started my own rebellion, my luck has been incredible. Although there have been some setbacks, everything has been going smoothly for me."

"I've already laid a very solid foundation for the Great Qian, and with so many people helping to look after it—they're all on our own, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"So, my life has actually been worthwhile. I've come into this world, married so many wives, have both sons and daughters, and built such a large empire. I really have no regrets."

"The only regret might be that I can't jump out of my grave right now to have a few drinks with you."

Jiuchuan rambled on and on in the letter.

Even after so much time has passed, Fang Zelin can still clearly recall the other person's tone and face.

"Of course your Great Qian Dynasty is doing well. The Great Qian Dynasty has a destiny spanning a thousand years, so you don't need to worry unnecessarily."

"If the Great Qian Dynasty's fate truly runs out, and your descendants fail to properly manage your legacy, becoming incompetent and tyrannical, then you will inevitably be replaced. Even I, in my opinion, would not change such a thing."

As Fang Zelin looked at the letter, he was also responding to the other person little by little, as if he were talking to the other person.

However, when he heard the other party talk about how many wives he had taken, how beautiful they were, how well-educated they were, and how many daughters he had taken after becoming emperor, Fang Zelin couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This guy really is just as the other party said.

In this lifetime, the other party will never suffer a loss.

The other party gets to enjoy all the good things, living the life of having two wives!
