"The Empress of Northern Xiao" is really far ahead, with more than 200 million more than the second-place movie. The second-place movie is still a sentimental war film, and this is the third film shot this year.
When netizens saw the high box office of "The Empress of Northern Xiao", those who had not seen it were jealous.
[Although I haven't seen "The Empress of Northern Xiao", I can't figure out how it got such a high box office.]
[The person above, haven't you heard of the saying "box office manipulation"? ]
[These days, everything is fake, and a historical film can be better than a war film. It's so fake, and people still believe it.]
[I want to go to the cinema and see it myself. What the hell is this movie about? Why is it so popular at the box office?]
Oh my god, I just came out of the cinema. The movie "Empress of Northern Xiao" is number one at the box office. I am convinced. The visuals and the acting are really amazing.
Regardless of the online discussions, Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan remained largely unconcerned. Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, she joined Wei Ziqing's wedding procession on their way to the Ancient Martial Realm to see her off.
Ji Bei was originally going to go to the Ancient Martial Realm with Xiao Qingran, but he had only found a dozen or so Sang people so far. There were more than a dozen Sang people who had worked with Ji Bei to create lightning. Xiao Qingran had said that he would not be allowed to leave the imperial capital until all those Sang people were found, so he had no choice but to stay.
Xiao Jiyuan, the deans, Mr. Luo, and the old housekeeper also joined in the fun, and of course, Jin Long was also there. Wherever there was a commotion, there was Jin Long.
Perhaps because Wei Zishu was in prison, the Wei family had to rely on Wei Ziqing for the rest of their lives. This time, they gave Wei Ziqing a very generous dowry. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a "ten-mile red dowry." If Xiao Qingran hadn't known how the Wei family had treated Wei Ziqing before, she wouldn't have believed they would be so generous.
However, Xiao Qingran believed that Wei Ziqing would be very touched. Perhaps the Wei couple had also come to their senses and decided to give Wei Ziqing a larger dowry as compensation.
Arriving in Huacheng once again, Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan were filled with emotion. Hand in hand, they strolled through the streets of Huacheng. Although the ancient martial arts world was open to the secular world, those who could enter it were mostly members of sects and the wealthy and powerful. Ordinary people in the ancient martial arts world struggled daily to support their families, so where would they find the time or money to travel to another world?
Just like in the secular world, ordinary people have to work hard every day to earn their three meals a day, so how can they have extra time to travel abroad?
"We can open up tourism from the ancient martial arts world to the secular world. The prices should be more affordable, so that ordinary people can go out and have a look."
Luo Jiuyan is worthy of being Luo Jiuyan. He discovered business opportunities just by strolling around the street.
Xiao Qingran nodded: "That's a good idea. I'll put this matter on the agenda when I get to Xuan Palace."
Luo Jiuyan smiled gently at Xiao Qingran: "You've been a hands-off boss for so long, aren't you afraid that the sect will be dissatisfied?"
Xiao Qingran shook his head indifferently: "What's there to worry about? If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to challenge me. If it weren't for A Yuan's own mission in Tianyan Continent, I would have wanted to give the burden to him."
Luo Jiuyan gently stroked Xiao Qingran's cheek and said softly, "Soul Devouring Sect will eventually return to the ranks of the three great palaces. I think my eldest cousin is very good. When he grows up, I will pass the responsibility to him."
Xiao Qingran chuckled: "Your calculations are quite impressive. However, your suggestion is a good one. My eldest cousin is steady and reliable. He is indeed a good candidate."
The two of them strolled around for a while and bought a lot of local specialties. When they returned to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, they ran into Xiao Jiyuan.
Judging from his appearance, it seemed as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.
Xiao Qingran signaled Luo Jiuyan to take all the things they bought back to their guest room, and she and Xiao Jiyuan went to the pavilion in the backyard together.
"Aunt, I want to visit the Ancient Soul Clan."
Xiao Qingran seemed to see through him and asked, "Have you secretly recognized grandpa a long time ago?"
Xiao Jiyuan nodded and admitted: "After all, I couldn't hide it from my aunt."
Xiao Qingran said earnestly, "Your return is the fulfillment of your wish. Just knowing that this place is good is enough. Your mission is not here. Wait until you unify the entire continent over there. Leave behind someone useful to take over the country, and then you can leave."
Xiao Jiyuan bowed to Xiao Qingran and said, "Aunt is right. I will return to Tianyan Continent when the weather warms up." After staying in this world for more than half a year, he has mastered everything he should learn.
"Do you want me to go with you to the Ancient Soul Clan?"
Based on Xiao Qingran's understanding of Xiao Jiyuan, it is impossible that Xiao Jiyuan would wait for her here for no reason.
Xiao Jiyuan nodded. "Aunt, after you passed away, I hid all the gold, silver, and other valuables you left behind in a cave, waiting for your return to rebuild the country. I left clues on your portrait, but you didn't notice. Now that I'm back, it's time to return the treasures to their rightful owners. They're enough to rebuild a country."
Xiao Qingran was deeply shocked. She had always known that Xiao Jiyuan, under her and Luo Jiuyan's guidance, was both courageous and resourceful, and she felt safe even if she handed the throne to him. However, she had been poisoned and harbored resentment. Since Luo Jiuyan told her the truth, she no longer harbored any resentment, only heartache for Xiao Jiyuan.
"Yuan'er, you've done so much for me, and I thank you. But you can also see that I'm living a good life now. I don't need to build a country, nor do I need these things. When you return to Tianyan Continent, you will definitely need a lot of financial support, so I'll give it all to you! As long as you're well, I'll be relieved."
The two chatted a lot until dark, and Luo Jiuyan came over and asked them to go eat.
The next day was the wedding day of Hua Yuqi and Wei Ziqing. The wedding was very grand. City Lord Hua showed great respect to the Wei family head as his in-laws, and the two families were very happy together.
Seeing that Wei Ziqing could find her own happiness, Xiao Qingran felt relieved.
Three days later, Xiao Qingran brought Luo Jiuyan, Mr. Luo's old housekeeper, and Liusha to Xuan Palace, while Xiao Jiyuan and the other deans went to the Soul Devouring Sect.
Coming to Xuan Palace again, I can see that there have been huge changes.
What was once a scene of desolation is now a scene of prosperity. Even the guards standing guard at the door have a cultivation level of at least the Qi Transformation Realm.
As soon as the group arrived at the palace gate, they saw the Great Elder Zhou Wu and the Second Elder He Fei, who had been waiting for a long time, looking out the door with their disciples.
As soon as Xiao Qingran and his group appeared, the two of them and their disciples immediately came to greet them.
"Greetings to the Palace Master."
The group saluted Xiao Qingran.
Zhou Wu was so excited that he wanted to rush forward.
Xiao Qingran nodded gently to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work!"
The words "thank you for your hard work" almost brought Zhou Wu to tears.
