"Hongqing Zhenjun." Yi Qian came before Fang Jian and bowed to him on horseback, saying, "This humble official pays respects to Hongqing Zhenjun."

Fang Jian waved his hand, holding the reins in his left hand and the whip in his right. He rode on the Third Prince's back and asked Yi Qian, "Is the Great Emperor Nanyue in the Immortal Palace?"

"Yes." Yi Qian said with a smile, "When the Emperor is not on duty inspecting the continent, he will sit in the Immortal Palace and meditate."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Okay." Then Fang Jian asked, "Were the people who just left Huo Shanjun's wife and family members?"

"Yes, Master," Yi Qian replied respectfully, "They came back to count their assets and pack up their belongings."

The Heavenly Court did not confiscate property and was very tolerant of the families of innocent criminals, allowing them to take their belongings with them. However, the property and belongings of Huo Shanjun, Huo Ping and others were not allowed to be taken away. They had to be sealed to compensate for the losses. After all, the robbery jades that Huo Ping spent were the "hard-earned money" of countless cultivators in the Southern Continent, and the Heavenly Court had to ensure that they were returned.

If the robbery jades found in the final inventory cannot fill the hole, then the Heavenly Court will have to provide the robbery jade itself to fill it. After all, it was the sin committed by the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court must take responsibility.

"Well, have you found the talisman warehouse that Huo Ping set up privately outside?" Fang Jian asked again.

Yi Qian replied, "Reporting to Master Hongqing, they have found it. The new Minister of Nanyue Prefecture, Ao Kuang, has already led the heavenly soldiers to investigate."

"Ao Kuang?" Fang Jian felt the name was familiar and asked, "This seems to be a water god from Xiniu Hezhou?"

"Yes," Yi Qian replied, "He is the water god of Xuanjie Lake in Xiniu Hezhou. He is a Taiyi Xuanxian Daoist. He has served Xuanjie Lake for 640,000 years. The Taixuandu Province commended him for his 640,000 years of merit and promoted him to the position of Minister of Nanyue Prefecture, granting him the title of Yuanyi Xianguan."

No matter where you are, seniority is always a reflection of your ability. It is not difficult to understand that he has been in the position of Water God for 640,000 years without making any mistakes, and has jumped from a sixth-rank Water God to a first-rank Immortal Official.

After all, Fang Jian's rank has jumped many times, and it has only been more than four hundred years since he entered the Heavenly Court as an immortal official, so he has jumped much faster than this water god.

Moreover, the standard requirement for the position of Shangshu of Nanyue Mansion is a super-grade fourteenth-rank immortal official, but in order to become a super-grade immortal official, one must go to the Cave God Hall to study, but Ao Kuang is obviously not at the level of entering the Cave God Hall.

Therefore, Ao Kuang is now a first-rank immortal official with the authority of a super-rank immortal official. However, as the Shangshu of Nanyue Prefecture, assisting the Emperor of Nanyue in handling Nanyue affairs is the most important thing. There are no strict requirements for his rank and level of cultivation.

"Big bad guy."

At this moment, a childish voice with a hint of hostility came from Jin Yuxian's arms, but as soon as this voice was uttered, Yi Qian and Jin Yuxian's faces turned pale all of a sudden.

Jin Yuxian quickly covered Yi Xiao's mouth, then forced a smile at Fang Jian who was looking over and said, "Uh, Xiaoxiao was scolding me. I just pinched her."

Yi Qian quickly followed suit and scolded Jin Yuxian, "Why are you pinching the child for no reason? Who else is she going to scold if not you?"

"Mom, I didn't scold you, I was scolding... wuwuwu." Yi Xiao broke free from Jin Yuxian's hand and said another sentence, but before he could finish, Jin Yuxian sealed his mouth with magic power.

But Yi Xiao's previous explanation still made the atmosphere awkward. Fang Jian smiled and didn't argue with a child. Instead, he said to Yi Qian, "Children who are unhappy need to be comforted and taught well from a young age. People like Huo Ping are a lesson for us."

"Yes, yes, what True Lord Hongqing said is right. My husband and I will definitely keep it in mind." Yi Qian said hurriedly.

Fang Jian nodded, then bowed and said goodbye to Yi Qian and Jin Yuxian, then rode his horse directly into the Nanyue Immortal Gate and headed straight for the Tianzhu Immortal Palace. This time, there were no heavenly soldiers or generals to stop him, but when passing through some palace gates, the necessary procedures of checking the jade certificates of the immortal officials were still necessary.

Arriving outside the Tianzhu Fairy Palace, Fang Jian dismounted from his horse. Immediately, a heavenly soldier came down the jade steps to help Fang Jian hold the reins.

"Take it away. No need to tie it up or feed it." Fang Jian said to Tianbing.

The celestial soldier bowed and said, "Yes, True Lord Hongqing."

Afterwards, Fang Jian tidied his appearance, walked up the jade steps, and arrived outside the Yuqing Hall, the main hall of Tianzhu Palace.

"Chen Feng, the Xuanyi Lang of Yuqing Palace, pays his respects to the True Lord Hongqing." Outside the Yuqing Palace, a Taiyi Xuanxian celestial general stepped forward and bowed to Fang Jian.

Fang Jian returned the greeting and said, "I want to see the Emperor of Nanyue."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng said, "Master Hongqing, please wait a moment while I report to you."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded.

Chen Feng immediately turned and entered the Yuqing Palace. Just ten breaths later, he walked out of the Yuqing Palace and said to Fang Jian, "True Lord Hongqing, the Emperor summons you."

Fang Jian immediately stood up straight and walked into the Yuqing Hall. After entering the hall, he felt the spring breeze blowing on his face, the wind was clear and the smoke was soft, and there were wisps of jade sandalwood fragrance around, which was very exciting.

Fang Jian raised his head and saw the Great Emperor Nanyue wearing a Balang jade crown, a red brocade skirt, a watch with divine light and crimson patterns, and a seal for sealing spirits and controlling demons. He was sitting on a colorful jade couch, with a majestic look in his eyes, staring at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your servant, Fang Jian, the God of Justice, pays homage to the Emperor of Nanyue."

The Emperor of Nanyue raised his right hand and said, "No need to be polite. Stand up."

"Thank you, Emperor Nanyue." Fang Jian bowed again to express his gratitude, then stood up.

At this time, the Emperor of Nanyue asked, "Fang Jian, has the case of Huo Ping's usurpation of the imperial edict been concluded?"

Fang Jian replied, "Reporting to Emperor Nanyue, the case has been closed."

"Then why did you come here to see me?" asked Emperor Nanyue.

Fang Jian reported, "Your Majesty, Emperor Nanyue, I have come here for Mount Mang."
