After leaving Jinlong Treasure House, in the carriage, Jiang Qinge didnt speak a word. Li Luo remained silent as usual, holding onto the box, lost in thought.

  Until the carriage arrived outside a magnificent mansion, inside which there were rolling hills and pavilions standing in great numbers, with an air of grandeur.

  This is where Li Luos parents founded the Luolan Manor back in the day.

  Four lions stopped at the entrance of the manor, and both Li Luo and Jiang Qinge got off the carriage.

  "Its really much quieter here than it used to be." Jiang Qinge said with a sigh as she gazed at the manor.

  At that time, when Li Luos parents were still alive, this was the headquarters of the Luolan government. The bustling scene at the gate at that time and the quietness now formed a sharp contrast.

  "The headquarters of the Xuanluo Fu has long been moved to Wangcheng, this is just an old house, its natural that its deserted." Li Luo said with a smile.

  As they spoke, someone also came forward from behind the big gate.

  An elderly man led the way, with a gentle and warm smile on his face. Beside him was a woman whose makeup was quite mature, her face was beautiful, but what was most striking was her plump figure, slender and elegant, like a ripe peach, swaying gently in the wind, captivating everyones attention.

  "Uncle Liu."

  Li Luo rushed to the old man and called out, this old man had been following his parents since he was a child, now taking care of this old house, also taking care of Li Luos daily life.

  But that unfamiliar mature woman made Li Luo somewhat puzzled.

  "Long time no see, Uncle Liu." Jiang Qinge slightly nodded her head towards the old man, then turned to introduce Li Luo: "This is Sister Cai Wei, shes my assistant in Wang City, helping me take care of various matters at Luolan Manor."

  "Ive met Master Shaofu before." A mature beauty named Cai Wei smiled warmly at Li Luo, her eyes seeming to size him up.

  Li Luo nodded and smiled: "Thanks for your hard work, Cai Wei sister."

  "After a while, Cai Wei will stay in Nanfeng City to take care of some properties of Luolan Mansion in Tienshui County, and everything will be reported to you." Jiang Qinge continued.

  Li Luo was taken aback. Since the Luolan Prefecture moved its headquarters to Wangcheng, many industries on this side of Tianxu County have not changed much and are still very stable. So why would Qinge suddenly send a capable general to take over?

  "Whats going on?" Li Luo hesitated for a moment before asking.

  Jiang Qinges sudden return this time was clearly not just because tomorrow is his 17th birthday.

  Jiang Qinge fell silent for a moment, her delicate face turning slightly cold. She then stepped forward towards the manor, gesturing for Li Luo to follow.

  "Although you stayed in Nanfeng City, I suppose youve also heard some rumors about Luolan Prefecture? These things I didnt tell you before, afraid of affecting you." Walking on the gravel path, sunlight filtering through the trees, Jiang Qinges voice was clear and cold.

  Li Luo nodded, although he didnt intervene in the Luolan Manor, but he could guess that with his parents missing for several years, the Luolan Manor would not be peaceful.

  In this great Xia country, wanting to open a mansion is not an easy thing, and one of the rigid conditions is that only those who have been enfeoffed as marquises can open a mansion.

  Nowadays in Dashu, there are five major prefectures, and Luolan Prefecture is one of them.

  Among these five major prefectures, Luolan Prefecture has the shortest creation time and the fastest rise, because at that time Li Luos parents had all stepped into the territory of Hou.

  Yang Xuanhou, Li Taixuan.

  Lan Hou, Dan Tai Lan.

  One prefecture, two marquises. This is the most important reason why Luolan Prefecture quickly entered the top five prefectures after its establishment. Compared with the long history of the other four major prefectures, Luolan Prefecture is undoubtedly very young, but this also shows that in terms of foundation, Luolan Prefecture is much weaker than the other four prefectures.

  However, this was originally not a problem. With Li Taixuan and Dantai Lans talent and strength, they could make up for this gap in the following time.

  But unfortunately, they suddenly disappeared.

  Having lost these two main pillars, the strength of Luolan Prefecture can be said to have rapidly declined. At first, the remaining prestige of the two marquises was still there, and no one dared to stir up trouble. However, as time passed, Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan had yet to receive any news, and finally, rumors even spread that they had fallen in the war between kings.

  Luolan Prefecture, as one of the five major prefectures of Dashan, has countless industries under its jurisdiction. This is a piece of fat meat that is so rich its hard to describe. Within Dashan, many powers are eyeing it covetously, drooling with desire.

  So, as time passed, the remaining prestige left by Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan gradually weakened. In the past year or two, some forces couldnt help but bare their fangs at Luo Ran Fu.

  In this case, Jiang Qinge, who was still studying at the Xuanxue Academy, had to temporarily take over the Luolan Manor. Although Jiang Qinges reputation in Dashan had been growing stronger over the past two years, she had not yet entered the realm of being a marquis, and her actual power and prestige were still somewhat lacking. Therefore, facing the encirclement of wolves, she decisively abandoned some of the industries of Luolan Manor, planning to use this to gain some time to recover and grow stronger.

  This constant abandonment has also led outsiders to believe that one of the main reasons for the instability of Luolan Prefecture is its own fault.

  But Li Luo was very affirmative about this, after all, without enough strength, if still occupying Jinshan, it would only bring more trouble, and suitable tolerance is the long-term plan.

  "These two years, although Luolan Prefectures momentum has decreased a lot, it seems to have stabilized overall, right?" Li Luo asked with some doubt.

  Jiang Qinge pursed her red lips and calmly said, "The external pressure has temporarily eased a bit, but this time, the problem lies within the Luolan Manor itself."

  Li Luos eyes suddenly fixed, and he said slowly: "Is it that Master Pei Huan?"

  Jiang Qinge and Cai Wei, who was standing beside her, both looked at Li Luo with some surprise.

  "Although youve taken over the Luolan Manor for a short time, your charm is unmatched. Now in the Luolan Manor, your prestige is not low, and looking around the Luolan Manor, the only one who can still rival you is this named disciple of my parents." Li Luo smiled at their astonished gazes.

  Pei Hao, a young vagabond, was nearly killed after offending a rival family. He was rescued by Li Luos parents, who took pity on him and brought him to the Luo Ran Manor. After entering the manor, he worked diligently and revealed his exceptional talent, eventually earning a place in the manor. As a result, Li Luos parents finally accepted him as an honorary disciple.

  After having this identity, Pei Huans position in the Luolan Mansion also rose steadily. By the time Li Luoluos parents disappeared, his power within the mansion was already quite strong.

  When his parents were still around, this Senior Pei Hao would occasionally come into contact with him, but such contacts had decreased significantly over the past two years, especially after the news of his Empty Space broke out...

  From this point of view, this Senior Brother Pei Hao is actually quite genuine.

  "Pei Hao has always had some objections to my control of the Luolan Prefecture over the years, and he has also made arbitrary decisions on many matters within the prefecture. He has a high prestige in the Luolan Prefecture, and nearly half of the nine halls have masters who are close to him, which has caused a very bad influence." Jiang Qinge said calmly.

  "In fact, if he could make a contribution to the Luolan government, I would be able to endure all of this. Even this so-called position of authority, if it werent for Master and Mistresss appointment before they left, I wouldnt have wanted to take on the role."

  Li Luo nodded, Jiang Qinges personality actually didnt like these household chores, with her talent, focusing on cultivation was the most suitable.

  To put it bluntly, its because this young master is not quite up to par... However, both he and Jiang Qinge understand that with his current state, this so-called Void Spirit talent of his would never convince the masses. If they really let him take over the Luolan Manor, his parents legacy would probably collapse in no time.

  After all, in this world, strength is what makes people convinced at heart.

  "Its really hard on you, Qinge." Li Luo said sincerely and gratefully.

  Jiang Qinge shook her head: "No need, after all, you and I had a marriage contract, and this Luolan Manor also has my share."

  Very direct.

  Li Luo was speechless, while Cai Wei beside him covered her mouth and smiled lightly, looking charming and captivating.

  "Since Master and Mistress disappeared, the people in the mansion have been restless. Although I tried my best to calm them down, the situation in Luolan Mansion is still obvious at a glance. And that Pei Huan took advantage of the opportunity to win over peoples hearts, everywhere restricting me. Previously, I had investigated and suspected that there might be other forces secretly helping him behind his back." Jiang Qinge continued.

  Li Luoshen stretched out his hand to catch the falling leaves in front of him and said: "This is... raising a white-eyed wolf."

  "Tomorrow, Pei Huan will lead people to come to Nanfeng City to talk to me, but the probability is that we wont be able to reach an agreement. If we cant reach an agreement, the worst result would be that the Luolan Manor will directly split up. For the current situation of the Luolan Manor, it would be a devastating blow." Jiang Qinges golden eyes seemed particularly cold at this moment, with a hint of murderous intent flowing through them.

  Li Lus eyebrows also furrowed, as the Luo Lan Mansion was already being watched by a pack of wolves within the Great Xia Empire, and once it really split, the power of the Luo Lan Mansion would be greatly weakened, and later it would become even more troublesome.

  But in the end, he could only helplessly sigh, because with his current state of power, he couldnt have any influence on this situation at all. As the so-called Young Master of the Luolan Manor, its likely that not many people would take him seriously, and some might even forget that he exists.

  And all of this is because he himself lacks strength and a future.

  "Sorry, I cant help you with anything," Li Luo said.

  Jiang Qinge shook her head and said softly, "Dont worry, even if the Luolan Manor is not stable at present, when I finally hand it over to you, I will definitely make sure its intact."

  Li Luo never spoke up, because in fact he wasnt particularly concerned about it either. Even if the Luolan Manor was strong, it was still an external object. In this world, only when ones own strength is great can everything be fundamental.

  If he can one day enter the realm of kings and nobles, all difficulties will be easily resolved.

  The two returned to the old house and had dinner together. Jiang Qinge then went straight away, apparently making some preparations for the next day.

  Li Luo didnt go disturb her either and instead went to the training room to practice his Xiang Shu for two hours before returning to his room to rest.

  Tonight, Li Luo couldnt fall asleep for a long time. It wasnt until after midnight that he directly got out of bed and opened the suitcase from under the bed that he had brought with him today.

  The mysterious black crystal ball was also taken out, he carefully held it in his hands, at this moment, Li Luo could feel that his heartbeat seemed to be jumping violently.

  "Father, mother, what have you left for me?"

  Li Luo gently patted his violently beating heart and self-mockingly comforted himself.

  "It shouldnt just be a birthday cake thats been stored for a few years, right..."
