After Qin Rouyu's ex-husband signed the papers, he immediately went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize the divorce certificate.
Qin Rouyu smiled and said, "Divorcing on the eve of the Spring Festival, it's truly a good omen. My days have a glimmer of hope."
In this life, with Chen Jiuyang by her side, she dared to confront the infidelity and demand a divorce, rather than clutching evidence like in her previous life, afraid to reveal it.
Chen Jiuyang held her hand, "The days ahead are long, and there are so many hopes to look forward to."
The revival of Dragon Country's destiny directly overturned thousands of years of tradition. The legends in Dragon Country's storybooks would become reality.
Major powers would recruit disciples widely, spreading their teachings across the land, with dragons and snakes rising from the depths. However, those Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors would ultimately remain behind the scenes, controlling everything.
Many people would come to miss the peaceful and simple societal era of the present.
Qin Rouyu, with Chen Jiuyang holding her hand, smiled sweetly, "Little man, you told me not to release that prescription. What will my job be then?"
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "From now on, you can stop your research and just be an ordinary university teacher for a while."
"When I return, I will make arrangements."
"Are your promises really useful?" Qin Rouyu questioned with some doubt, "You just held my hand, and now you're about to leave for over a year. How can I believe you?"
"I've left some people for you to command. This is my home address. If you're bored, you can visit my parents and sister," Chen Jiuyang said with a smile.
"The times are about to change drastically. I have important matters to attend to, and during my absence, I hope you will maintain a peaceful life."
"Everything will be discussed when I return."
Seeing Chen Jiuyang speak so solemnly, with an undeniable sense of world-weariness in his words, Qin Rouyu became curious.
"Alright, I've given you the opportunity. Whether you seize it or not is up to you," Qin Rouyu said with a charming laugh.
"Opportunity... I will seize it. There won't be a next time," Chen Jiuyang said with a double meaning.
Afterward, he escorted Qin Rouyu home.
Thus, Yao Zixuan, Ji Lengyue, Qiu Yihan, Yun Jingbai, and Qin Rouyu were all settled. With the loyal subordinate Fang Bo to handle affairs, and the support of Prince Yan and Zhou Fangzun, Chen Jiuyang could leave with peace of mind for a short period.
"Let's go back to Ziyang County," Chen Jiuyang said.
On the way, Chen Jiuyang explained, "Making you a Marquis has two purposes. Firstly, you can pilot a helicopter and travel between Fengcheng and Ziyang County in a very short time."
"Secondly, when I return, I intend to subdue the remaining forty-eight Marquises in Feng Province."
"Thirdly, as a Marquis, you can openly mobilize some personnel."
"Young Master, I understand," Fang Bahua replied while driving.
"If you are loyal to me, I will not fail you. The Earth Realm is not the end of your martial path; I will help you go further. Here are some elixirs reserved for your cultivation," Chen Jiuyang tossed a small bottle to Fang Bahua.
A carrot and a stick, Fang Bahua felt a surge of excitement.
Then, driving to Ziyang County, he introduced his parents and sister to Fang Bahua. Afterward, he sent Fang Bahua back to Fengcheng to find Deng Zun, ensuring Deng Zun had the necessary resources.
"In my previous life, you all were loyal to me and followed me for a lifetime. In this life, I will surely not fail you."
That night, Chen Jiuyang entered the cave dwelling of the Pure Yang Medical Immortal again and took some more resources for his upcoming refinement of laws.
"Pure Yang... in your life, you wished for me to pursue the martial path and go further in this world. I have achieved that. In this life, I intend to walk the path of immortality..."
Chen Jiuyang was currently only at the Golden Core stage and could not activate the various immortal artifacts left by Pure Yang.
He couldn't use them in his previous life either.
However, to his surprise, Pure Yang was only at the Tribulation Stage. Where did he get so many immortal artifacts?
But upon seeing numerous immortal artifact materials, Chen Jiuyang realized that Pure Yang had collected broken immortal artifacts, repaired them himself, and accumulated wealth.
"It truly fits the immortal path of that era... wealth, companions, Dharma, and land!"
The next morning, Chen Jiuyang first informed his parents and sister that he would be going abroad for a year of sponsored study, deceiving them while also assuring them that he would send them living expenses on time each month.
Concurrently, Chen Jiuyang had another arrangement. Qingzhu Village currently only had their household. A grand courtyard with nine entrances and nine exits, along with various other buildings, would be constructed. His parents would simply work there.
Zhang Xiuzhen and Chen Jianmin were delighted, marveling at their son's success in being able to study abroad.
But in reality, these were minor matters.
Afterward, he left home and headed to the Lin family's manor. Lin Xianxing lay inside an ice coffin.
Chen Jiuyang had very little contact with his father-in-law. The Lin family was a scholarly lineage, dedicated to glimpsing the true methods of Confucianism their entire lives.
However, the admission requirements for Jixia Academy were too stringent.
Without much effort, Chen Jiuyang cleared the toxins from Lin Xianxing's body, completely healing him. He waited outside the door for the reunion of Lin Yuexian, Lin Xianxing, and Lin Buwen, three generations of the family.
Then, Lin Buwen came out first, his eyes still a little moist. He said to Chen Jiuyang, "Mr. Chen, thank you so much. The Lin family owes you an immense debt, and we don't know how to repay it."
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "Then promise Yuexian to me."
In this life, without Lin Buwen needing to say it, Chen Jiuyang brought it up first.
Lin Buwen looked slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Alright!"
Chen Jiuyang continued, "Since Uncle Lin has awakened, I presume the Lin family will recall their clansmen who were previously stationed in various locations."
"Elder Lin, you can leave, but Yuexian must stay here."
Lin Buwen smiled, "Since Yuexian is promised to you, she will naturally stay here."
Chen Jiuyang said with his hands behind his back, "I have matters to attend to and will be leaving for over a year. During this time, Uncle Lin should not go to Japan. Furthermore, no matter what happens, Yuexian cannot leave this place. Elder Lin, do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Buwen's brow furrowed. He didn't understand Chen Jiuyang's intentions, but this young man, who was about to become his grandson-in-law, was too mysterious for him to fathom. This young man seemed to know many things.
Chen Jiuyang said casually, "Just listen to me."
After the revival of Dragon Country's destiny, the shackles that hindered people's cultivation would loosen, allowing the old monster Mother Lotus to return to Dragon Country and cause trouble.
Lin Xianxing, carrying the destiny of Dragon Country, was an ordinary person and one of the targets Mother Lotus wanted to devour.
Lin Buwen pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I promise you."
"With that, I can leave to attend to my affairs with peace of mind."
"This is a token of my affection for Yuexian. Please help me deliver it, Elder Lin."
Chen Jiuyang handed a jade hairpin-shaped artifact to Lin Buwen. It contained his 'Soldier Dao' strike. Each of his confidantes had one, capable of protecting them even from a Martial Saint's attack.
More importantly, he had a clever plan: it contained the moves of the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Spear.
Once activated, it would inform others that he was someone connected to the Yan Emperor, providing a double layer of security.
