"Yes." Upon hearing this, Lu Zhidao immediately bowed in response.
Duan Zaidao then quickly stepped forward, bowed to Fang Jian, and said, "I, Duan Zaidao, the City God of Chang'an Prefecture, pay my respects to the True Lord Hongqing."
Fang Jian stood up with a smile on his face, walked down the steps to Duan Zaidao, and said with a smile: "Did you do a good job as the City God?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Zaidao hurriedly bowed and said, "To True Lord Hongqing, if I cannot perform my duty as the City God of Chang'an Prefecture, I will willingly accept the judgment of Heaven."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Let me be frank. If you don't do a good job as the City God of Chang'an Prefecture, you won't even have the chance to go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Not to mention Fellow Daoist Qin Guangwang, even if the Emperor of Dongyue comes, you will not be able to escape the punishment of annihilation of both body and soul."
Duan Zaidao's heart trembled, and he immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, I will remember the teachings of Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian then glanced at Lu Zhidao again and said, "Now that this matter is settled, I won't stay here any longer."
Duan Zaidao and Lu Zhidao hurriedly bowed and said, "We respectfully bid farewell to the True Lord Hongqing."
After Fang Jian finished dealing with the matter of the City God of Chang'an Prefecture, he rode on the Third Prince's horse to Mount Hengshan in the south.
When they arrived outside Nanyue Mansion, they saw Madam Mingrui and her group retreating from the Nanyue Mansion's Immortal Gate.
Madam Mingrui, Princess Narcissus, and Huo Ling, Huo Qing, and Huo Lin walked out of the Nanyue Mansion's Immortal Gate, and behind them was the Yi Qian family who came to see them off.
Yi Qian, accompanied by his wife Jin Yuxian and daughter Yi Xiao, followed closely behind. When they reached the Nanyue Mansion's Immortal Gate, Madam Mingrui turned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yi, Fellow Daoist Jin, we will remember your farewell today and will repay you generously in the future."
After experiencing the destruction of their family and the death of their loved ones, they realized how fickle the world was. In the past, whenever anyone from their Huo family traveled, they were surrounded by countless heavenly soldiers and fairies. But now that they have fallen into the mortal world, even the dogs chasing monsters in the Nanyue Fairy Palace don't even look at them.
"It's actually not bad to be a wandering immortal," Yi Qian's wife, Jin Yuxian, said, looking at Madam Mingrui and her family. "At least wandering immortals are free and unconstrained. These immortal officials may seem noble, but they are bound by the laws of heaven in every way."
Yi Qian glanced at his wife, then said to Madam Mingrui, "If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to send me a letter. I will definitely help you in any way I can."
Upon hearing this, Madam Mingrui was deeply moved. She immediately led Princess Shuixian, Huo Ling, and Huo Qing to bow respectfully to Yi Qian and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yi (General Yi)."
Yi Xiao and Huo Lin stood by, holding hands and looking at each other, with tears in the eyes of the two little girls.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm leaving. We can't live together anymore." Huo Lin said to Yi Xiao with tears in her eyes.
Yi Xiao nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Xiao Linlin, when you get to your new home, remember to send me a letter. I'll come and play with you when I grow up."
"Then you must come. Don't lie to me and don't forget me." Huo Lin said crying.
Yi smiled and said, “Well, Xiao Linlin, don’t worry, if I lie to you, I’ll be a puppy.”
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal. Let's make a pinky promise."
"We'll never change our promise for a hundred years, and we'll never change our promise for ten thousand years."
With the two close friends making a childish oath to each other, the case of Huo Ping usurping the imperial edict was settled, and the remaining five women of the Huo family all became immortals.
Although Princess Narcissus, Huo Lin and Xiyue Mansion are blood relatives, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. After all, no matter how close Xiyue Mansion is, it is just her "home" to Princess Narcissus.
Madam Mingrui took the remaining family members away from Nanyue Mansion, and Yi Xiao chased Huo Lin for a long way, crying. Finally, he fell to the ground and was picked up by his mother Jin Yuxian, but he still cried.
Yi Qian watched Madam Mingrui and the others leave, and was about to return to the Nanyue Mansion Immortal Gate with his wife and daughter when he suddenly heard the neighing of a Pegasus overhead.
He immediately turned around and looked up at a golden cloud in the sky, and then saw Fang Jian riding the Third Prince descending from the golden cloud and landing in front of the immortal gate of Nanyue Mansion.
"True Lord Hongqing?!" Seeing Fang Jian riding on the Yuxiao Pegasus horse in front of him, Yi Qian's face darkened, and then he hurried to meet him.
Hearing her husband's words, Jin Yuxian was also shocked. Then her heart tightened. She quickly hugged Yi Xiao and walked over to him. At the same time, she was very nervous and thought to herself: "Master Hongqing probably didn't hear what I said just now?"
