Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1346: Chapter 865: The New Bride Enters the Household (Part 2)

Yang Qinting’s Jade Token had long been confiscated. Now, he could no longer freely enter or exit the Spirit Source Land. If he wanted to return, he would have to obtain a Jade Token from An Yuxing.

As for the future, it wasn’t that Yang Qinting couldn’t come out at will, but rather Li Qianqian couldn’t exit freely.

After all, Li Qianqian had just arrived, and hadn’t yet gained the trust of the Spirit Source Land. This wasn’t just towards Li Qianqian; it’s the treatment bestowed upon everyone relocating to the Spirit Source Land.

Once you enter the Spirit Source Land, you cannot leave in the short term. Only when you’ve fully integrated and formed a connection can you have the opportunity to leave.

Currently, Ziwei Tower strictly regulates entry and exit in the Spirit Source Land. In fact, most people, once inside, never leave again.

At present, there aren’t many outsiders in the Spirit Source Land. The Yang Family Town has two hundred soldiers, the Secret Martial Guards have less than a hundred people, and Divine Wood Island and Da’an have several dozen. The rest are individuals like Yang Jizhen and Yang Cheng’an.

The interior of the Ancient Relic Array is not considered part of it.

Yang Qinting looked at Li Qianqian and said, "We understand!"

Previously, he had hinted to Li Qianqian about certain aspects of the Spirit Source Land. Although the details were vague, the essential points were made clear, and Li Qianqian had agreed.

At this moment, Li Qianqian was very curious about the "home" Yang Qinting mentioned, eager to see what kind of place it was.

"Then let’s go!" An Yuxing pointed to the tokens placed nearby.

Yang Qinting slightly bowed, took Li Qianqian’s hand, and picked up the Jade Token while infusing it with True Yuan. In the next moment, their figures disappeared.

Li Qianqian only felt a blur before she found herself inside a great hall.

The platform constructed of Green Gold Stone, the massive vermilion pillars carved with intricate patterns supporting the dome. The floor had shallow relief arrays; dim light circulated like stars scattering.

Twelve bronze lamp trees stood guard against the walls, where the light played upon the mural of "Cranes Welcoming the Origin," making the cranes seem ready to break free from the painting.

Two rows of armored soldiers stood by the walls, their cold gaze scrutinizing her.

Li Qianqian’s heart trembled slightly; she quickly withdrew her gaze.

Yang Qinting saw her tension and squeezed her hand, smiling, "It’s alright!"

"Hmm!" Li Qianqian nodded, still feeling uneasy for she had left the sect where she’d lived since childhood for an unfamiliar setting. Even though she trusted Yang Qinting, there was still anxiety in her heart.

"Young Master Qinting!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties approached, greeting Yang Qinting.

"Elder Yu!" Yang Qinting quickly saluted.

The Elder Yu he referred to was none other than Yu Tonghai.

Yu Tonghai was now the deputy master of Tianliang Tower, overseeing part of the garrison, mainly tasked with maintaining the main reception hall.

"Haha, and this is Lady Li, I presume!"

"Greetings, Elder Yu!" Li Qianqian followed suit in paying respect.

Yu Tonghai nodded slightly, "Let’s proceed with the registration and get your identity card!"

The main reception hall wasn’t a place for small talk. Yu Tonghai merely exchanged greetings without much conversation.

Yang Qinting led Li Qianqian to register, obtaining her identification within the Spirit Source Land — akin to an ID card.

They soon exited the reception hall. Yang Qinting borrowed a Red Cloud Horse carriage to bring Li Qianqian to a manor on the west bank of the Spirit River.

Along the way, Li Qianqian was observing the scenery around her.

There were cities, towers, streets, rivers, and the people living here.

How to put it?

In terms of scale, the current Jade City wasn’t on par with the Green Jade City of the Xuanqing Sect; its architecture wasn’t particularly grand, only the newly constructed Twelve Floors appeared somewhat majestic.

However, Li Qianqian still felt comfortable because she noticed everyone here seemed relaxed, lacking the solemnity of the sect and the bustle of Green Jade City. Everything appeared orderly and leisurely.

Yang Qinting introduced her to the buildings within the city. Although his understanding of Jade City wasn’t extensive, he gave a general overview.

Before long, they crossed the Spirit River and arrived at the manor.

"Father, Mother!"

As they alighted from the carriage, Yang Cheng’an and Zhou Yunxian were already waiting outside the entrance.

As a newlywed enters the household, naturally, she must pay respects to her elders. Although their wedding was lively, not many from the Yang family attended, only Yang Cheng’an and Zhou Yunxian managed the arrangements.

Others didn’t attend.

This wasn’t intentional neglect towards Yang Qinting and Li Qianqian, mainly due to the difficulty in accessing the Spirit Source Land.

Moreover, the Spirit Source Land doesn’t favor extravagant weddings.

"Daughter-in-law pays her respects to Father and Mother!"

"Haha, no need for formalities, let’s go – your grandparents are still waiting at home, don’t keep them waiting too long!"

Zhou Yunxian smiled warmly, taking Li Qianqian’s hand as they entered the manor.

This manor belonged to Yang Mingzhao; Yang Cheng’an wasn’t entitled to reside here, being a junior, he could only live in the former Longevity City.

They entered the manor and arrived at the main hall.

Yang Mingzhao along with the Zhu family were already waiting.

"The grandson (and granddaughter) pays respects to Grandfather and Grandmother!"

The two greeted, Yang Mingzhao gazed at Yang Qinting, "Good kid, after twenty years away from home, you’ve finally tricked a granddaughter-in-law back, haha~~"

"Are you sure that’s how to speak? What do you mean by trick?" Zhu family looked disapprovingly at Yang Mingzhao.

Yang Mingzhao lazily seated in the grand chair responded casually, "It’s about the same meaning!"

Through the years, Yang Mingzhao lived quite carefree in the Spirit Source Land. Previously, he managed the Law Enforcement Hall, now he manages Kaiyang Tower, primarily responsible for maintaining order and security.
