Cang Gongzi smiled and looked at her, he had always been like that, almost all living creatures felt delighted every time they saw him.

Of course, a non-human system and Sir Dragon Carp who was never very fond of him, thinking that he had been eating for free, were not considered.

Fan Jing looked at him for a while then said gently, “This is the Nie Residence, why are you looking for my husband, young master?”

Cang Gongzi smiled and said, “Oh, I have something to consult your husband for, just inform him and say that Bai Ruocang is here to visit.”

Upon hearing that, Fan Jing was a little confused in the beginning, but she seemed to have thought of something afterwards, and was somewhat shocked all of a sudden.

She pointed at him and said in disbelief, “Could it be that you’re the son of your ancestor’s first wife who went missing last year?”

Afterwards, she hurried and opened the courtyard’s door outwards.

As the master of a royal family, Cang Gongzi had always been quite particular about his public demeanor.

Unless he was compelled to, he would not shamelessly sell himself like some fellow, hoping that “everything will be alright in the end”.

The latter had always thought about hiding his true identity for fear of being eyed by some evil fellow, such that he frequently had to put on his armor for battle.

Besides, he was a Pond-level powerhouse in terms of strength. As he was full of morality, even his father and the ancestor of Bai Family could not necessarily do anything to him, it was no longer the situation last year when he fled away.

In terms of identity, he was the heir of the greater rat royal family. When he walked the underground Greater Rat Kingdom, he had a natural intimidation with him everywhere he went.

With these two points, he was able to show his true identity openly.

Fan Jing did not have even the slightest doubt, his demeanor and temperament made her believe this involuntarily.

Although she had not personally met Cang Gongzi from all the rumors, and there were very few who had seen his true face, she just had a hunch.

Therefore, she led him into the living room, then immediately called Nie Yuan who was currently at work.

Half an hour later, an agile-looking young man pushed the door open and entered hastily.

Once he saw Cang Gongzi who was sitting on the couch in the living room with an elegant bearing, and was chatting happily away with his wife, he furrowed his brows.

Cang Gongzi stood up when he saw him, then he stated his purpose of visit.

Nie Yuan then smiled and said, “Haha, so my master made you come… I dare not give any advice, but I indeed have some natural gifted spiritual ascension in astronomy. In actual fact, regarding the return of the moon, before the people from China held the offering ceremony, I have already known about it in advance through observing the sky.”

There was a hint of self-pride in his words.

Cang Gongzi could not help but asked in a rather dubious manner, “Since you’ve already known about it beforehand, why didn’t you inform it in advance? This affects all the living creatures in the world, it might actually affect our clan too.”

“Haha, master, you’re kind as expected.” On the surface, Nie Yuan seemed to be respectful, but he was actually in disdain, he explained himself, “I’ve already informed our ancestor, as for how the ancestor made arrangements, it’s not something that I have a say in. The only thing I can do is to follow any arrangements made, other than that, there’s nothing I can do.”

Cang Gongzi froze a little when he heard that.

On the other hand, Nie Yuan secretly sneered to himself.

As Cang Gongzi was the only son of the ancestor in Bai Family, he was born with the most legal right of inheritance in the Greater Rat Clan.

That being said, Nie Yuan had heard from some of the still-existing greater rat demons from the upper realm who occasionally mentioned that they were really fond of this master from the royal family, who had always been kind, soft-hearted and was never decisive.

It was just that the newborn greater rat demons had no idea of these things, as they naturally acknowledged Cang Gongzi as a mysterious and honorable character.

The royal bloodline was naturally the representative of supremacy.

In the new era, bloodline inheritance was especially important; with a strong bloodline, one’s starting point would be much higher.

When he thought about this, he was envious. He could vaguely feel that it was definitely because of the blessing of his honorable bloodline that he was able to be a Pond-level powerhouse at such a young age!

Under the situation where Lake-level powerhouses were still few to rare, this made the bulk of the various forces in the present world.

As for himself, he was born a low-level, which was abominable. It was fortunate that he had obtained a natural gift in spiritual ascension from the explosion of fireballs last year, hence he had the ability to rise up.

Naturally, Cang Gongzi would not trouble him with this, he requested sincerely, “Brother Nie, since you have such spiritual ascension, please advise on how we should face the danger of the moon this time. If such an enormous moon is going to fall all of a sudden, all the beings in the world are so innocent, they shouldn’t have to face the danger.”

“Haha,” Nie Yuan laughed again, “Master, you don’t have to be worrying unnecessarily. Since the moon is being pulled by earth’s Heavenly Axiom, it won’t be like a natural occurrence where an asteroid crashes to earth and causes a huge scene.

“But it’s inevitable that a natural tsunami disaster will happen in a large scare, but even so, only some useless people will be dead. I can only tell you one more thing, master, the return of the moon is an opportunity for the Heavenly Axiom of earth to filter all the creatures in the world. It will definitely adopt many more direct measures, but if you’d like to know more, you’ll have to ask the ancestor himself.”

When Cang Gongzi heard that, he frowned. From the inside out, his words sounded like all living creatures were trash, which made him feel exceptionally displeased.

Nie yuan then turned to look at his wife who was serving beside, he said faintly, “Jing Er, quickly serve our guest some tea…”

Upon hearing that, a sense of bitterness swept past Fan Jing’s heart, then she lowered her head and entered the kitchen.

“There’s no need to trouble your wife, I have some other things to deal with, I’ll be making a move now.”

Did Cang Gongzi not know of the allusion of “serving tea to send the guest away”?

Thus, he stood up and walked out. Nie Yuan only stood up, but he did not send him off, he only raised his hand up and said, “Please forgive me for not sending you off.”

His arrogant and indifferent manner with no intentions to play up to him, was as if he had no idea that Cang Gongzi was the direct successor to his ancestor.

Right after Cang Gongzi left, Fan Jing held a cup of tea out from the kitchen.

“What did he tell you when I was rushing home?” Nie Yuan asked calmly.

“We didn’t talk much, Cang Gongzi is a righteous man with no evil intentions, we’ve only talked about the weather.” Fan Jing placed the teacup down then sat down beside.

“Hmph, how many times have I said to not let any man into the house without my permission, have you forgotten?” Nie Yuan said with a heavy tone all of a sudden.

“But that’s Cang Gongzi…” Fan Jing tried to defend herself.

“So what about Cang Gongzi?!” Nie Yuan raged abruptly, he stood up and stared at his new wife with his cold eyes. “He’s trash! When we were working so tirelessly, he was enjoying life with the humans! Now that we’ve had some successes, he came down the mountain, no, he came underground to harvest the fruits!

“You better keep this in mind, there’s no Cang Gongzi at all, there’s only me! I, Nie Yuan, am the only one!” Nie Yuan said while pointing at the floor.

He had no idea that his current posture was actually very similar to Bai Shixin who pointed at the ceiling just now.

After Fan Jing was being yelled at, she could not help but tear up.

“Cry, you’re crying again!” Nie Yuan was even more enraged, he was furious in the living room. “I knew it, you must be thinking that I’m not as good at my speech than the others. Yes, I just can’t read those sentimental nonsense literary books from humans, and I have no idea how to communicate like those young artists!”

While he said, his whole body was dissipating a horrifying bearing. In the eyes of Fan Jing, he seemed to have reverted back to his original look, so she took a few steps back as she was utterly shocked.

“Nonetheless, I have power, and my heart is stronger than theirs!” Seeing the situation, Nie Yuan held back a little, then he said ruthlessly, “Stop with your thoughts and be the Mrs. Nie you are conscientiously! The underground farming industry of the Greater Rat Clan is starting to take form, your true utility value is gone! Don’t hope for anyone to have your back anymore!”

…

Not long after walking out to the street, Cang Gongzi was able to hear the roaring sounds from Nie Residence with his current strengths.

‘Sigh, every family has its problems.’ he thought to himself.

He shook his head and sighed, he certainly had no right to interfere in matters as such.

Nevertheless, he recalled a line that fit this scenario perfectly.

“There are people whom you treat like a treasure; but once they belong to someone else, they’re just a blade of grass.”

He said quietly.

“Cang Gongzi, the literary side of you strikes again.” Bai Ruocang teased.

“No it didn’t… Eh, wait a minute, let me pick up a phone call.” Just as Cang Gongzi was about to sigh, his phone rang, it was the Venerable White Dragon who called.

It had been long since he saw the Venerable White Dragon, he seemed to be even more like a nerd than Bai Ruocang, which was a little disrespectful for him to think this way.

He asked, “Venerable One, is there anything I can help you with?”

Fang Ning said seriously on the other end of the phone, “Of course there is. Cang Gongzi, are you currently in the underground Greater Rat City?”

Cang Gongzi replied, “Venerable One, you’re remarkable, you know of everything happening in the world even though you’re just at home.”

Fang Ning was secretly happy after he heard that, he thought to himself, ‘Nonsense, your big blue spot is in a dark place underground, where else can you be if not the underground city of the Greater Rat Clan?’

He said, “I have a glorious yet extremely difficult task, it is related to all beings in the world, what’s your take on it, Gongzi?”

Once Cang Gongzi heard him, his face looked helpless instantly.

He thought to himself, ‘Well, this is really karma, I’ve just lectured Nie Yuan using “all beings in the world”. Now the Venerable One is looking for me with the exact same words.

‘What else can I do, I’ll just accept the task conscientiously.’

That was right, after blending with the modern people and Bai Ruocang for many years, Cang Gongzi was already familiar with the culture of the modern people. His mind had already adapted to them, and he no longer acted like the master of a huge clan.

It was just that his kindness was still the same as before.

Hence, he immediately said to the phone firmly, “Venerable One, please give me your orders, as long as it involves righteousness, I’m ready to lay down my life without hesitation.”

Fang Ning was extremely satisfied from hearing that, this follower of his was quite good indeed.

In the past when it was in its hamster state, it always played “chewing chestnuts” and was often silently cursed by the Dragon Carp, but that was because it had not been used.

Now it had already accepted the task without even hearing what he had to say, could there be a better follower than it?

Hence, Fang Ning briefly explained to Cang Gongzi about his idea of building the Morality City.

After Cang Gongzi heard that, he was surprised, elated, and immensely touched.

As expected, it was different between humans.

He had mastered his cultivation of morality and had a sharp sense.

Just now, Nie Yuan had such an arrogance in his bearing which could be heard from his words inside out, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

It was as if he was not bothered at all if the return of the moon would cause the occurrence of natural disasters, or if countless living creatures would be dead.

Contrary to that, the Venerable One was a righteous person who thought about the world at all times. He even handed out a precious arcane realm and was prepared to build the Morality City specially to occupy them.

Anybody else, would have been used an arcane realm as private territory from the start. Who would share it with outsiders rather than keeping it to themselves carefully?

They would only be worried that it would be snatched away from them, they would never use it to save the people of the world.

The Venerable One adopted the Path of Heavenly Punishment, unlike someone who schemed actively in order to seek ascension. He had been keeping to himself and had never built a force.

Towards the people who would live in the city in the future, he would certainly not seek anything from them as well.

Looking at this, he was truly keeping the public interests in mind.

Instantly, his fondness towards the Venerable White Dragon who had not been showing himself for a long time, elevated a few hundred points.

He guaranteed. “Venerable One, please leave this to me. I’ll rack my brain and make sure that I’ll do this well, I must spread your kindness to the world, and I must be a righteous person in the world, building a happy land for the people.”

“Haha, with pleasure, with pleasure.” Fang Ning was floating from all the compliments, he did not think that he had unknowingly enjoyed special treatment as if he was royalty.

When he heard the declaration from Cang Gongzi, he became completely unworried.

After all, he was a figure that was categorized by his precious game book to have a “righteous” attribute, so he would keep his promise. Now, he could return to being a salted fish again.
