Mingjie Mansion was a place set up by the Dadao Court in Yujing to accommodate hostages from various countries. To put it simply, it was a place for residence and surveillance.
"They should have sent someone to lead you to Mingjie Mansion, but now they want us to find a place ourselves. It's really rude." Yu Censhuang said dissatisfiedly while he and Fang Jian were looking for the address of Mingjie Mansion.
Yujing City is too big, and we can’t fly, so we can only rely on our two feet to find a place.
Fang Jian said, "This is because the Junior Secretary of the Seal Records Pavilion is arrogant and conceited. I had a disagreement with her, so she sent the envoy away early to deliberately embarrass me."
Hearing this, Yu Censhuang immediately remembered what Taiyuan Daozun had said, so he said, "Young Master, we have come to Yujing to live under someone else's roof and are hostages. We should just endure some things and not argue with them."
"Yeah, okay." Fang Jian nodded.
Then the two of them walked down another street, but still couldn't find the Mingjie Mansion. Yu Censhuang couldn't help but stop and said, "Sir, it's not easy to find it like this. I'll go find someone to ask."
After saying this, Yu Censhuang saw the bustling streets and stopped a passing Daluo Jinxian. He bowed and asked, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, how do I get to Mingjie Mansion?"
The passerby stopped and looked at Yu Censhuang and said, "I do know, but why should I tell you?"
Yu Censhuang was stunned, not knowing how to react for a moment. At this time, Fang Jian came over, holding the Ten Dusts Great Power in his hand and said, "With this."
The passerby glanced at the big stick in Fang Jian's hand and nodded immediately, saying, "Well, this is indeed a good proof."
After saying that, the passerby put away the Ten Dusts Force, then pointed out the location of Mingjie Mansion to Fang Jian, and then left.
Fang Jian and Yu Censhuang immediately headed towards Mingjie Mansion. On the way, Yu Censhuang explained, "I didn't expect that even asking for directions would require a general understanding."
Fang Jian said, "I didn't expect the general trend to be so important in the Xiantian Wuji Realm, and I didn't expect the people in the Xiantian Wuji Realm to be so snobbish."
Yu Censhuang sighed, "Yes, the general trend is really too important. It is the foundation of our survival."
Speaking of this, Yu Censhuang asked curiously, "Sir, isn't this the case in the lower realm?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "No, the cultivators in the lower realms are open-minded and honest. They value trust and friendship. At least they won't ask you for a favor just to get directions."
Yu Censhuang had never been to the lower realm, so naturally he couldn't imagine what the situation was like there. But after hearing Fang Jian's words, he naturally thought that the cultivators in the lower realm were all friendly and kind people.
At this time, Fang Jian said again: "The situation in the Xiantian Wuji Realm reminds me of a famous saying in the lower realm."
Yu Censhuang asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Fang Jian said, "Rituals and music are collapsing."
Yu Censhuang was startled when he heard this, and quickly glanced around. Then he followed Fang Jian and said, "Sir, it's better to say less of this kind of thing in the future, otherwise there will be trouble."
"I understand." Fang Jian nodded and smiled.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at a quiet area in the southwest of Yujing. The streets here were obviously much narrower than other places, and there were not as many pedestrians as other places. It was not as prosperous and lively as other places.
When the two reached the end of the street, they immediately saw a high and long wall. Then they turned right and walked a few hundred steps, and saw a tall mansion gate.
Fang Jian looked up and saw five large characters written on the plaque on the mansion gate: Built by Imperial Order Mingjie Mansion.
"We're finally here." Yu Censhuang said happily.
Fang Jian nodded and immediately walked towards the steps of Mingjie Mansion. Two Daluo Jinxian on duty immediately stopped Fang Jian, "This is the Mingjie Mansion's residence. No unauthorized persons are allowed in."
Fang Jian took out the document given to him by the Seal Record Pavilion and handed it over while saying, "I'm here as a hostage."
The two Daluo Jinxians were stunned for a moment. How could they be so happy being a proton? This was something they had never seen before...
The two of them were on duty at Mingjie Mansion, and they had seen many of the hostages. Who didn't look worried when they first arrived? How could they be as nonchalant and unconcerned as Fang Jian?
"National Scholar?" When the two saw the file on the document, they couldn't help but be stunned again. How could it be a national scholar? Aren't hostages supposed to be ministers?
However, whether he is a national hero or a minister, it has nothing to do with them. All they have to do is report to the lord of Mingjie Mansion.
Then the Daluo Jinxian on the left said, "Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist." After saying that, he turned and entered Mingjie Mansion.
Yu Censhuang, who was standing nearby, also heard the two Daluo Jinxians reading the documents. Her expression changed slightly, and she asked Fang Jian, "Sir, has the Ministry of Rites granted you the title of noble?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "No, that official from the Seal Records Pavilion said I wasn't qualified to be an official, so he granted me the title of official."
Yu Censhuang's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and then her face turned red and she said angrily: "She is humiliating you and humiliating my Xuanjian Dao Kingdom!"
Fang Jian said calmly, "No need to do that. I'll take care of it later."
But Yu Censhuang still couldn't let it go. She was loyal to Taiyuan Daozun and Xuanjian Dao Kingdom, so naturally she couldn't tolerate others insulting Xuanjian Dao Kingdom.
Soon, Fang Jian saw two figures appear in his eyes, and then he saw a middle-aged man wearing a jade-white Taoist robe, who looked like a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian, quickly coming to the gate of the mansion. Following behind him was the Daluo Jinxian who had gone to report earlier.
"Palace Master, this is the son of Xuanjian Daoguo, the national scholar of Hongqing." The Daluo Jinxian pointed at Fang Jianchao and said to the middle-aged man.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately looked at Fang Jian, then bowed with a smile and said, "I am Yiji, the lord of Mingjie Mansion, the junior minister of the Dao Court, and a scholar of the Hongqing State. I am honored to meet you."
