"The box contains a destruction talisman that I deliberately hid inside. If the box is forcibly opened, it will unleash an attack comparable to that of a ninth-grade, ninth-level expert."

Qin Tian said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sect Master knows, but..."

"But I didn't know, did I?"

Guo Feng chuckled, "I knew you didn't trust me back then, and when that old man came to snatch it, I already guessed that there was definitely nothing good in your box."

"Then give it back to me, and then we'll go see our senior brother together."

Qin Tian said.

"hehe."

Guo Feng just smiled and said, "Nineteenth Senior Brother, since you've schemed against me, then keep this here with me for now, and I'll return it to you later."

He paused for a moment, then said, "As for whether to go see my senior brother or wait, we need to find a place to stay and then register for the Imperial Son-in-Law Competition. That's the most important thing right now."

"Are you really going to compete for the Emperor's son-in-law?"

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

"Of course."

Guo Feng waved his hand, "If it weren't for my connections, would you have been released so easily?"

He continued, "Nineteenth Senior Brother, you're a smart man too. You should understand why the Empress released you and put me in charge of you, right?"

"Of course I understand."

Qin Tian smiled calmly, "The Empress asked me to be your henchman. It's alright. For the time being, I will be your henchman."

"Alright, next time you run into that chief steward, you step in and beat him up for me. If I don't give him a good beating, how can I save face?"

Guo Feng said angrily.

"Um... okay."

Qin Tian's lips twitched, but he didn't really care.

So what if we fought?

He'd wanted to beat these people up for a long time!

"Guo Feng, how are you? Are you alright?"

As they were talking, a group of people approached from the front.

It was Nan Liru and her servant.

"Miss Nan."

Guo Feng hurriedly went up and cupped his hands in greeting to Nan Liru.

Nan Liru laughed and said, "You've made quite a stir these past two days; you're famous throughout the entire capital now."

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

Guo Feng smiled slightly.

Nan Li waved his hand and said, "I'm not joking with you anymore. Let's go. Our Imperial Tutor's Mansion has prepared a mansion for you in the Imperial City, near the Imperial Palace. Consider it a congratulatory gift for you, the Emperor's son-in-law, in advance."

"Oh? How could I possibly accept that?"

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.

He had heard about how high housing prices were in the capital.

In the Lower Capital District, a single mansion costs between one million and ten million spirit stones.

In Zhongdu District, a set costs between ten million and fifty million spirit stones.

A set of equipment in Shangdu District costs between 50 million and 100 million spirit stones.

In the Imperial City area, there's no upper limit; prices can range from hundreds of millions to billions, and practically no one is selling.

Few people are willing to take over.

The Imperial Tutor's Mansion is giving away a mansion in the Imperial City District near the Imperial Palace right off the bat; that's incredibly valuable.

Nan Liru smiled and said, "It's just a small token of our appreciation."

"That's true."

Guo Feng nodded and said, "How about you convert the mansion into spirit stones for me? Then I can stay at your mansion for a while?"

"What?!"

Nan Liru's lips twitched upon hearing this.

How could you say that?

"Ah, this..."

Qin Tian was shocked. He knew he wouldn't have said that if it had been him.

Upon seeing this, Guo Feng quickly said, "Is there any difficulty? How about I sell it to you for a low price of 500 million spirit stones?"

"hehe."

Nan Li smiled and said, "Let's go take a look at the mansion."

She didn't want to respond to Guo Feng at all.

Five hundred million spirit stones?

Who could easily come up with such a large sum of spirit stones?

"Alright."

Guo Feng shrugged; he was just giving it a try.

What if Nan Liru gives him 500 million spirit stones?

That will be enough for him to use for a long time.

He only has a little over ten million spirit stones now, which isn't enough.

Before long, they boarded the carriage and drove into the imperial city, arriving directly at a very wide street.

Each of these mansions is nearly a kilometer wide.

Although this cannot compare to the Princess's mansion.

However, it was still a very large mansion.

The mansion's gate was very grand, and there were already more than twenty people lined up in two rows to welcome them.

"Greetings, Young Master Guo; greetings, Miss Nan!"

As soon as Guo Feng and his entourage stepped off the carriage, the servants immediately bowed respectfully.

Nan Liru pointed at them and said, "These are the more reliable servants I selected. They are all experienced and familiar with the Imperial City. You can use them for now. If you are not comfortable with them, you can recruit more yourself and have them return to my Imperial Tutor's Mansion."

Guo Feng nodded.

I am quite satisfied with Nan Liru's arrangement.

It saved him a lot of trouble.

Anyway, he didn't have much to hide, so he didn't care whether the other party had planted spies.

They then entered the mansion and, led by a servant, took a tour.

It has pavilions, terraces, and towers—everything you could want.

There were even fertile fields, medicinal herb gardens, and animal pens behind it.

The mansion also has a low-grade Heaven-level defensive barrier, which can resist powerful enemies and prevent spying.

This barrier is somewhat similar to the security systems of modern society.

Soon, Guo Feng became familiar with the mansion and was quite satisfied with it.

Nan Li didn't give him another chance to ask for the spirit stones back, and gave the land deed and house deed to Guo Feng.

Someone else recorded it.

Then, Nan Liru took out a beautiful and grand plaque with the inscription "Guo Mansion" that had been prepared beforehand and presented it to Guo Feng.

Guo Feng personally hung it up.
