"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, let's go!"
Xiao Feng smiled and shook the white jade folding fan in his hand. He then led the two of them in a luxurious double-horse carriage to the Xiao residence in the capital.
Since the early part of the original story mainly takes place in the capital of Qing Kingdom, Xiao Feng specially arranged for some mansions and properties to be acquired in the capital to facilitate his future life there.
"Da da da……"
Dian Wei drove the carriage at a brisk pace and soon entered the eastern district of Kyoto.
Those who could live in the eastern part of Kyoto were mostly high-ranking officials, nobles, or extremely wealthy people; there was simply no room for ordinary people to settle down.
Therefore, the streets here are relatively deserted. Every ten or so feet, you can see a mansion gate, and there is usually a pair of stone lions in front of the gate, staring blankly at the passing carriages and sedan chairs.
After about fifteen minutes, the two-horse carriage embroidered with the character "Xiao" finally stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.
In front of the mansion, which covers hundreds of acres, stand two stone lions, each over ten feet tall, painted with gold lacquer, which gleam in the sunlight.
Above the two vermilion gates hangs a huge plaque with two large, gilded characters: "Xiao Mansion!"
Upon seeing Xiao Feng return, the servants quickly opened the gate and welcomed him and Xu Chu into the mansion.
Dian Wei, who was in charge of driving, drove the two-horse carriage around to the back gate, which had no high threshold, and entered the Xiao residence.
As soon as Xiao Feng entered his residence, four beautiful young maids, all around sixteen years old, came to greet him with a change of clothes and towels.
With the meticulous care of his personal maids, Xiao Feng, after his bath, transformed from a seafood vendor reeking of seafood into a fragrant and elegant young nobleman.
At the same time, Fan Xian, the male protagonist of the original novel, also rode in an inconspicuous carriage and slowly drove into the Fan residence next to the Xiao residence.
That's right! In order to make it easier for him to interfere with the plot, Xiao Feng specially had someone buy the mansion next to the Fan family's residence.
At first, the owner of the mansion was unwilling to sell the house, but after Dian Wei and the others persuaded him, and with Xiao Feng willing to buy it at a high price, he finally sold the house.

Chapter 276 The Holy Son of the Temple (First Update, Please Vote)
276.
a few days later
Kyoto, outside three miles, Keimyo Temple.
People who hear "Wai San Li" for the first time will definitely think it is a place three miles away from Kyoto, but they don't know that it is a place name.
Located on the outskirts of Kyoto, Keimyo Temple is said to be the only place in Keimyo Kingdom where one could communicate with a shrine, and it was also the temple where the royal family offered sacrifices to heaven.
"Da da da……"
A series of crisp hoofbeats approached from afar, followed by a carriage embroidered with the character "Xiao" (flute), which slowly drove up to the entrance of Qing Temple and came to a stop.
Two burly men dressed in black, close-fitting outfits, stepped down from the carriage first, their eyes indifferent and ruthless, their expressions unsmiling.
"Dian Wei, go open the door!"
At Xiao Feng's command, the burly Dian Wei immediately strode to the entrance of the Qing Temple and pushed open the two heavy black wooden doors.
"stop!!!"
Just as the gate of Qingmiao was pushed open, a low shout suddenly came from behind the door.
A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, deep-set eyes, and a hooked nose blocked Dian Wei's path.
"Retreat immediately! A noble person is praying for blessings in the temple; do not disturb them!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he reached out and pushed Dian Wei.
Upon detecting that he was being attacked, Dian Wei activated his internal counterattack program and swung his palm at the middle-aged man.
Standing over two meters tall, Dian Wei's hands were like palm-leaf fans, making him extremely imposing when he swung them.
"boom!!!"
The moment their palms met, a dull thud was heard.
"Dong dong dong..."
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He felt an overwhelming force strike him, and his body was forced back several steps, leaving several deep footprints on the hard bluestone floor.
The middle-aged man, who had finally gained a foothold, looked at Dian Wei's unmoving figure, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes were filled with fear.
It should be noted that the middle-aged man's identity was not simple. His name was Gong Dian, the captain of Emperor Qing's personal guard, and his cultivation level had reached the upper eighth rank.
Since Dian Wei was able to defeat him so easily, his strength must have reached the ninth rank.
Ninth-rank martial artists are not common; there are only seven ninth-rank martial artists in the entire Qing Kingdom, and Gong Dian knows almost all of them.
Gong Dian was certain that the burly man in black before him was not among the seven. Could this person be a ninth-rank martial artist from outside the Qing Kingdom?
At this moment, Emperor Qing was offering incense and praying for blessings in the temple when a strange ninth-rank martial artist suddenly appeared outside the door, leaving Gong Dian no time to think.
"Who exactly are you people? What is your purpose in coming here today?"
While questioning Xiao Feng and the others with a wary expression, Gong Dian secretly gestured behind his back, instructing the hidden guards to escort Emperor Qing away first.
Xiao Feng did not expose Gong Dian's little tricks. Instead, he shook his folding fan with a playful expression and said, "I came here today only to offer incense and pray for blessings. Why do you have to be so aggressive?"
"you……"
Sensing the mockery in Xiao Feng's tone, Gong Dian instinctively wanted to get angry, but then heard a somewhat shrill voice say, "Master has ordered that he wants to see this young master and invites him to the main hall for a chat."
Upon hearing this, Gong Dian's expression changed slightly. Although he felt that this action was inappropriate, he dared not disobey Emperor Qing's order and could only helplessly step aside.
"let's go!"
Xiao Feng called out to Dian Wei and the others, then swaggered into the main hall of the Qing Temple.
The architectural style of the main hall is somewhat similar to that of the Temple of Heaven, with two layers of round eaves extending out in succession, solemn yet beautiful.
In the spacious main hall, a middle-aged man in his forties stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the colorful paintings on the wall.
The middle-aged man was not particularly handsome, but his eyes and brows exuded an air of dominance and arrogance, as if he had long held a high position.
Looking at Emperor Qing, who was posing with his back to him, Xiao Feng smiled slightly and said, "So you are Li Yunqian?"
!!!
Upon hearing this, the eunuchs and guards present changed their expressions drastically and quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they would be implicated by Xiao Feng, this arrogant scoundrel.
"Haha~"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes, but he turned around with a smile and said, "It has been a long time since I have heard anyone call me by my name."
"Isn't the point of having a name to be called?"
Xiao Feng seemed oblivious to the murderous intent in Emperor Qing's eyes, and instead said meaningfully, "In my eyes, the name Li Yunqian is not much different from the names Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu."
"..."
Upon hearing these two taboo names, Emperor Qing's pupils constricted slightly, and he then carefully examined Xiao Feng and the others.
Emperor Qing originally allowed Gong Dian to let Xiao Feng and the others in simply because he didn't want them to interfere with his plans, and also because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
Now that he has seen Xiao Feng not only know Ye Qingmei, but also knows about Wu Zhu, Emperor Qing can't help but become curious about Xiao Feng's background.
When Emperor Qing noticed that Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were standing beside Xiao Feng, both had indifferent expressions that regarded ordinary people as ants, the image of the temple messenger couldn't help but come to mind.
Feeling that he had already grasped the truth, Emperor Qing couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Could it be that you and Ye Qingmei are from the same place?"
"Not bad!"
Xiao Feng nodded slightly and said, "This young master is none other than the current Holy Son of the Temple—Xiao Feng!"
"The Holy Son of the Temple?"
Upon hearing this title for the first time, Emperor Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and he cast an inquiring glance at Xiao Feng.
"Dian Wei, could you explain to him what a Temple Son is?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei first bowed to Xiao Feng, and then turned to Emperor Qing to explain: "The Holy Son is the second only to the Holy Lord in the Temple. Whenever the previous Holy Lord ascends to the God Realm, the Holy Son will inherit the position of the next Holy Lord."
If we compare His Majesty the Holy Lord to the emperor of your mortal dynasty, then His Highness the Holy Son is equivalent to the crown prince.
The Ye Qingmei you know was just the personal maid of the Holy Prince when she was in the temple!
"If it weren't for her leaving the temple without permission and stealing His Highness the Holy Son's magical weapon, the 'Barrett sniper rifle,' the temple wouldn't have sent messengers to hunt her down."
"hiss--"
After hearing Dian Wei's explanation, Emperor Qing couldn't help but gasp in shock, never expecting that Xiao Feng's background was so impressive.
Emperor Qing originally thought Ye Qingmei was already very powerful, having stirred up the world with her own strength, but it turned out that she was just Xiao Feng's maid.
As for the "Barrett sniper rifle" mentioned by Dian Wei, it must be the Heavenly Thunder magic weapon that killed two of his uncles and made him wary for many years.

Chapter 277: Emperor Qing, utterly fooled
277.
"May I ask what brings Your Highness here today?"
Emperor Qing, recovering from his shock, asked with a slightly ingratiating tone, "If His Highness the Holy Son has any need of me, I will certainly do my best to cooperate."
"You certainly know how to talk. No wonder that stupid woman Ye Qingmei was completely fooled by you, and didn't even know how she died?"
Emperor Qing's eye twitched slightly, and he quickly retorted, "Your Highness, there's more to this than meets the eye..."
Damn it! Could this guy still be thinking about his past relationship with Ye Qingmei and want to avenge that woman?
If that's really the case, I will never surrender without a fight. Even if he is the Holy Son of the Temple, I will drag him down with me.
Xiao Feng, having heard Emperor Qing's thoughts, sneered and patted his shoulder, saying, "Alright! You don't need to argue anymore. I, the Holy Son, know better than you what kind of person you are."
Moreover, I am not that stupid woman Ye Qingmei. With your mere Grandmaster strength, you are not qualified to perish together with me.
Who do you think bestowed those cultivation techniques that Ye Qingmei brought out from the temple upon her?
