Bifang Commandery Governor: The Azure Luan Luan Household

The Kong Household spent the first two days in Bifang Commandery City selling Demon Beast materials, purchasing five-element materials, and acquiring pills, artifacts, talismans, and arrays.

On the third day, they finally received a notification from the Prefectural Governor's Office that the Prefect was available to see them.

However, the meeting was scheduled for the fourth day.

Therefore, early on the fourth day, Kong Wenxuan and the clan chief arrived at the county government office in the center of the county town to wait.

As for the Second Elder, Second Aunt, Eldest Brother, and others, they remained in the rented inn courtyard, firstly to guard the purchased spiritual materials and supplies, and secondly to continue protecting their uncle.

To achieve a complete rebirth, or even a phoenix-like transformation, is no simple or easy task.

Therefore, even though three days had passed, my uncle's secluded cultivation had not yet ended, and he was still cultivating in the rented courtyard.

Although their rented inn was located in "Pill Flame Ward," the safest market in the county town, and was run by the Bi Household cultivators, their safety should not be a problem. However, the Kong Household members were clearly uneasy without leaving enough people to protect their uncle.

Moreover, it's not necessarily better to have as many people as possible when they come to pay their respects to the prefect; having Kong Wenxuan and the clan chief Kong Changgeng is sufficient.

The two waited for half an hour in the waiting room at the entrance of the prefectural government office before Ya Zhaoying arrived with several members of the Ya Household.

The guards at the gate of the prefectural government office were clearly more familiar with the Ya Household and treated them with greater courtesy and consideration. Upon their arrival, they were immediately led into the prefectural government office and into a side hall specifically for entertaining guests and officials, where tea was even served.

However, Kong Wenxuan and the clan chief Kong Changgeng, under Ya Zhaoying's care, also entered the side hall to wait.

After the clerk in the county government served tea, Kong Wenxuan saw a cultivator from the Ya Household who had been following Ya Zhaoying and went up to him, handing him a few talismans.

Earlier, at the gatehouse, the Ya Household cultivators also slipped talismans to the gatekeepers, who all accepted them with smiles on their faces.

However, before this, the clan chief Kong Changgeng had tried to get close to the guards of the prefectural government and even tried to offer some Spirit Stone as a bribe, but they were all rejected by the guards.

Once inside the side hall, the clerk served them tea, and then the clan chief, smiling, stepped forward again to present them with several talismans, which were then accepted by the clerk in the county government office.

Clearly, before this, the Kong Household didn't even have the qualifications to bribe the gatekeepers and minor officials of these county government offices.

Only after entering the prefectural government office, sitting in this side hall, and being served tea, can one be considered qualified to give money and bribes to the officials in the prefectural government office.

Upon seeing this, Kong Wenxuan couldn't help but feel quite moved.

The group waited in the side hall for nearly an hour when someone came to inform Ya Zhaoying that the prefect had summoned her Ya Zhaoying immediately told the Ya Household members who had come with her to stay in the side hall, while she followed the messenger with a solemn expression and respectful posture.

Ya Zhaoying, although the youngest Third Tier Purple Mansion cultivator in the "Fire Crow"Ya Household family, Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, had previously acted quite aggressively and conspicuously in Cuckoo County, even monopolizing the Cuckoo County with a single word and designating it as "Cuckoo Town" belonging to their Ya Household.

When she fought against the Third Tier Demon Race and Demon Beast who were lying in ambush at "Demon-Suppressing Pass", she also demonstrated formidable combat power.

However, once they arrived in Bifang Commandery City and entered the county government office, even Ya Zhaoying, a Purple Mansion cultivator from an Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, could only be humble and subservient, daring not to be arrogant or presumptuous in the slightest.

They even had to bribe minor officials in the prefectural government to "grease the wheels."

Kong Wenxuan estimates that the latest chapter will ignite the plot! Follow for updates. Ya Zhaoying probably doesn't like coming to the prefectural government office to pay her respects. If it weren't for the fact that the Du Household family disaster and the Demon Race calamity are both major events, one involving the Du Household family, Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage and the head of a county, and the other related to the Demon Race, which has always been an enemy of the imperial dynasty, Ya Zhaoying would have had to come to the prefectural government office in person to report and explain. Otherwise, the other party probably wouldn't have come to the prefectural government office at all.

Half an hour later, Ya Zhaoying returned without saying much and left with the Ya Household.

Kong Wenxuan originally wanted to ask the other party for some information, but seeing this, he had no choice but to give up.

At the same time, the official who had previously informed Ya Zhaoying the prefect's summons also arrived and informed Kong Wenxuan and the other man that the prefect had summoned them.

The governor of Bifang Commandery summoned both members of the Kong Household at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Kong Wenxuan and the clan chief dared not delay. They immediately rose to greet the official and followed him out of the waiting room.

After walking through the county government office for a while, the two followed the clerk to the office where the prefect handled daily affairs. After the clerk announced their arrival, the two were summoned and entered the office to meet the prefect of Bifang Commandery.

"The Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, the ' Peacock ' Kong Household, Kong Changgeng / Kong Wenxuan, pay their respects to Your Excellency, the Prefect!"

The fact that he was able to serve as the governor of Bifang Commandery indicates that he is a Nascent Soul True Lord from the Bifang Bi Household, a Sixth-Grade True Spirit.

His cultivation level was far superior to Kong Wenxuan's, so unless the other party intentionally displayed his aura, Kong Wenxuan could not see anything. At this moment, he could only tell that the other party was a rather dignified middle-aged man.

"No need for formalities!" came the voice of Commandery Governor Bi from above. At the same time, an invisible force came and lifted Kong Wenxuan and the other man to their feet, leaving them unable to resist. This demonstrated the huge difference in strength between the two sides.

"The ' Peacock ' Kong Household!" Commandery Governor Bi looked at Kong Wenxuan and the other man, and said with a smile, "I remember that four hundred years ago your Kong Household was Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, but you perished because you were involved in some struggles in the Central Domain."

"I never expected that your Kong Household would travel all the way from the Central Domain to the Vermilion Bird Southern Region, and even succeed in Star Inlaying again, regaining the position of Ninth-Grade True Spirit! As expected of someone from the Central Domain, you certainly have a strong foundation."

"Thank you, Prefect, but I am unworthy of such praise." The clan chief also bowed respectfully, saying, "The glory of our ancestors has long since faded. Now that we, their descendants, have been able to reclaim the position of Ninth-Grade True Spirit, we can say that we have not disgraced our ancestors."

"Haha... Good!" Commandery Governor Bi nodded with a smile, then said, "Now that your Kong Household has regained the position of Ninth-Grade True Spirit, what are your plans next?"

"Are you planning to return to the Central Domain and continue serving under the ' Azure Luan ' Luan Household?"

It is said that the reason why the Kong Household ancestor "Jianling Ancestor" was able to successfully Star Inlaying and elevate the Lineage to the Ninth-Grade True Spirit position was because he received help from a noble person, who was said to be a member of the "Azure Luan" Luan Household.

Therefore, although the Kong Household was already Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, they had always followed the "Azure Luan" Luan Household.

Back then, the third-generation patriarch of the Kong Household failed to break through to the Purple Mansion Stage, Lineage failed to reach the Eighth-Grade True Spirit Realm. This even led to the fall of the "Peacock True Spirit Star," and the Lineage almost perished.

However, if the Luan Household "Azure Luan" had intervened at that time, they could have easily protected the Kong Household, allowing them to remain in the Central Domain to live and cultivate.

The reason why the Kong Household had to leave the Central Domain and wander all the way to settle in this remote border region of the Vermilion Bird Domain in the Southern Region was because they were involved in some power struggles within the "Azure Luan" Luan Household and had no choice but to flee.

These are things that are not taught in the clan school; they were only told to Kong Wenxuan by the clan chief Kong Changgeng after Kong Wenxuan advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
