Feng Shao had also been in seclusion many times when he was in Taiwei Mountain before. However, due to his limited qualifications and the characteristics of the Qiankun Treasure Book, the effect of each seclusion was not great.
But this time, Feng Shao was directly promoted from the Golden Core Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Speaking of which, he was promoted to the Golden Core Realm a year ago. In just one year, he was promoted from the Golden Core Realm to the Spiritualization Realm. This speed can also rank him among the top geniuses in the Upper Realm.
After being promoted to the Spirit Transformation Realm, Qiankun Palace and his party felt more confident.
The first thing Feng Shao did after he walked out of the Gathering Spirit Tower was to check on Lin Xiaoran. Lin Xiaoran was not only his little wife, but also the mother of his future child. Even if there was a maid who took care of Lin Xiaoran, Feng Shao would still feel uneasy if he didn't keep an eye on her at all times.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Feng Shao learned from the servants that Lin Xiaoran had spent most of his time in the conference room during the day, so he immediately hurried to the conference room.
When he arrived at the conference room, Feng Shao found Lin Xiaoran without much effort, who was discussing the matters of the Cultivation Academy with Bai Shuanghua and Dai Zhixin.
When Lin Xiaoran saw Feng Shao, he immediately called out in surprise, "Brother Shao!"
The next moment, Feng Shao felt a flash before his eyes, and then he felt a warm and soft beauty in his arms.
Looking at Lin Xiaoran, who was nestling in his arms like a young swallow, Feng Shao said distressedly, "Ran'er, you have worked hard these days."
Lin Xiaoran smiled and shook his head, saying: "I don't feel tired at all to be able to help Brother Shao a little!"
Feng Shao rubbed her little head and said softly: "But you are pregnant now, your body is not as good as before, you should pay more attention to rest."
As he spoke, Feng Shao looked at the other two and said, "In the future, if you need Ran'er's participation, it's better to go to the City Lord's Mansion!"
Bai Shuanghua smiled and said, "Master really loves Master's Wife! He is so reluctant to let her go even for such a short distance."
Dai Zhixin shrugged her shoulders and said, "Alas, if a good man like this dies, there will be one less!"
Next, Feng Shao talked to a few people about the Cultivation Academy. After asking about a few details, Feng Shao nodded with satisfaction and said, "The specific idea is correct, let's do it this way for now! If there are any changes in the future, we can make appropriate adjustments based on the situation."
Afterwards, Feng Shao took Lin Xiaoran's hand and left the meeting room.
On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Feng Shao asked Lin Xiaoran about his physical condition again. He was relieved when he learned that there was nothing wrong. He said earnestly: "Ran'er, to me, no one in this world is more important than you. Even the entire Wuling City cannot compare to your position in my heart. So if you want me to rest assured in the future, you should take good care of your body. As long as everything goes well for you, I can be at ease and do other things."
Lin Xiaoran suddenly felt a warm current flowing into her heart. She gently hugged Feng Shao and whispered, "Brother Shao, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of myself and will never let you worry."
After the two of them were affectionate for a while, they continued to walk back.
At lunch, there was no one else at the table except Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran. For the two, this was not only a meal, but also the best way to communicate as a family. Although this "family" only has two people now, it won't be long before it can increase to three people. In the future, there may be a fourth or fifth person...
At the table, Feng Shao was very considerate in peeling shrimp for Lin Xiaoran. This shrimp was of course not an ordinary shrimp, but a dragon beard shrimp raised in the Spirit Lake. This kind of shrimp can slightly increase the Yin attribute of the cultivator after eating it, which is very suitable for Lin Xiaoran who is now taking the pure Yin route.
Lin Xiaoran was very happy to be taken care of by her husband. The two of them fed each other happily. If others saw it, they would probably have the illusion that a pink love bubble was floating in the air.
When the meal was almost over, Feng Shao said, "Ran'er, I will be going on a long journey in a few days. This trip may take a month at the shortest and two months at the longest. I am afraid it will take a long time for me to come back."
Lin Xiaoran asked: "Brother Shao, are you talking about the Qiankun Palace?"
Feng Shao nodded and said, "That's right. Qiankun Palace will appear on September 20th. I plan to go check it out."
Lin Xiaoran looked worried: "Brother Shao, I've heard from mother before that the ruins of Qiankun Palace is a very dangerous place, second only to Lihuotian and Wanjian Valley among the ten forbidden areas. Will there be any danger on your trip?"
Feng Shao shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry! I have made preparations in advance for this trip. I have already figured out a lot of the situations inside. Qiankun Palace is very dangerous in the eyes of some people, but for me it's like going home."
Lin Xiaoran was silent for a long while before he slowly said, "Brother Shao, no matter how confident you say you are, I still don't want you to make this trip. But I also know that you have made up your mind and no one can persuade you. So don't worry, I will definitely keep the house safe for you before you come back. But you have to remember that you must come back before the child is born. I hope you can see him born with your own eyes."
Although Lin Xiaoran was spoiled, he was probably influenced by Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao's genes, and he was fearless since he was a child. Even when he fell into Chu Hao's hands last time, Lin Xiaoran did not show any weakness. Even Chu Hao couldn't help but secretly admire his courage.
But after she got pregnant, Lin Xiaoran started to become timid. She cherished her current life very much, so she kept away from all dangers. Especially now that Feng Shao was going to the famous Qiankun Palace ruins, she felt even more uneasy.
But even so, Lin Xiaoran suppressed her reluctance and did not say anything to keep Feng Shao. Because she knew that Feng Shao was a man with lofty ambitions, and he not only cared about their small family, but also had a great dream. As Feng Shao's good wife, Lin Xiaoran did not want to hold him back, so she could only support Feng Shao silently from behind.
Feng Shao saw the worry in Lin Xiaoran's heart, so he gently held Lin Xiaoran's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, my life now does not belong to me, but to you and our child. Even if it is for you and the child, I will protect myself and will never let you worry."
Lin Xiaoran nodded silently, then suddenly smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Shao, you have to spend some time with me before I go out. Aunt Jia said that keeping a happy body and mind is conducive to the healthy growth of children. So these few days, all your time is mine!"
Feng Shao also smiled and said, "Okay, then I will accompany you well and won't leave for a moment!"
In the following days, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran were inseparable no matter where they went. They knew that in a few days, they would not see each other for a long time, so they cherished this time even more.
Seeing how affectionate they are, some people who know them couldn't help but tease them. The two didn't take it seriously, but laughed and teased back. This behavior of showing affection everywhere without paying attention to others really made many people envious, and also made countless single people sad.
While Feng Shao was being affectionate with Lin Xiaoran, he also did not forget to send someone to keep an eye on Deng Jingyun who had been staying in Wuling City for some time.
Deng Jingyun had never left Wuling City since that day. During the day, he would go out and wander around the city, as if he was experiencing the local customs and habits of Wuling City. At night, he would find a few children from other families that he was familiar with to drink and chat in the newly opened restaurant in the city, looking like he was in love with the world. As for the family affairs in Qianyun City, it seemed that he had completely forgotten about them.
If someone else knew what Deng Jingyun was planning recently, they would probably think that Deng Jingyun was just reveling before a life-or-death struggle. But Feng Shao felt that Deng Jingyun was not such a simple person. Although Deng Jingyun looked calm on the surface when talking about the family curse, Feng Shao could clearly see a hint of ruthlessness and determination in his eyes.
Such a person would never succumb to fate. Even if he was already on the guillotine, he would still struggle hard.
So, in Feng Shao's opinion, Deng Jingyun's behavior seemed to be for show.
Three days passed in a flash, and before we knew it, September had arrived.
Early in the morning, Feng Shao got up from the bed quietly, being careful not to wake up Lin Xiaoran, who curled up beside him, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Lin Xiaoran looking worried even in his sleep, Feng Shao couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Feng Shao had to go to Qiankun Palace. It was not because of the agreement with Deng Jingyun, but because of the second page of the "Heavenly Book" that was unlocked in his mind.
The second page of the Heavenly Book was accidentally unlocked when Feng Shao handed the Earthly Spirit Chapter to Lin Xiaoran at Sheya Mountain. However, due to time constraints, it was not convenient to think carefully. It was not until the matter was over that Feng Shao took the time to carefully study the second page.
The content on the second page was more difficult and obscure than that on the first page, but in connection with the content on the first page, Feng Shao vaguely sensed the important information contained therein.
This information is about the Heavenly Dao, and it directly points to the most core secret of the Heavenly Dao. Such important information, let alone speaking it out loud, even communicating it with the mind can easily be detected by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the Lord of Xihe Palace would use such an obscure way to convey this information to Feng Shao.
In order to verify his guess, Feng Shao must go to Qiankun Palace. This trip is not only related to himself, but also to the future fate of everyone around him.
After putting on his clothes, Feng Shao leaned over and gently kissed Lin Xiaoran on the cheek, then tiptoed out of the room.
The moment the door closed, Lin Xiaoran suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction Feng Shao left, lost in thought.
