I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

"In response to your excellency, I am called Huangfu Jinlian, Huangfu... is my father."

Chen Yuan then suddenly realized that he had heard Huangfu Qi had a daughter, but she was a widow. Shortly after marrying, she had caused her husband's death, leading to her being criticized as a jinxed solitary star and having no face to remain in her husband's home.

For these years, she has been living in the Huangfu household.

Greatly cherished by Huangfu Qi, he had previously tried to offer her to him, but he politely refused.

Unexpectedly, she had quite a bit of charm.

Wait a moment.

Chen Yuan suddenly had a flash of insight and understood why the Huangfu family sent this daughter, perhaps because of his reputation, knowing that his preferences were unlike ordinary people.

Sighing deeply, Chen Yuan disregarded those thoughts in his mind and spoke:

"Your father died heroically on the battlefield for the country, Miss Jinlian, there is no need to be formal, please sit down."

"Thank you, your excellency..."

Huangfu Jinlian glanced up at Chen Yuan timidly and sat down beneath him.

"Regarding the compensation issue for Huangfu the Golden Envoy, I have already ordered it to be presented to the court. Besides that, the Heavenly Patrol Bureau will also offer any possible assistance."

"Thank you, your excellency."

"Hmm, after Huangfu the Golden Envoy's passing, there isn't any trouble for the Huangfu family, is there?" Chen Yuan sipped his tea lightly and asked offhandedly.

Before the war, Chen Yuan promised everyone in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau that for anyone who died in war, the Bureau would double the compensation. If they had no support, he would care for their wives.

Now that promise hadn't faded and was during the height of Chen Yuan's fame, he had to inquire about it both publicly and privately. If anyone dared to cause trouble,

he wouldn't mind having the Emperor Slaughter Saber bloodied.

After following him through so many battles, the Dragon Soul of the Emperor Slaughter Saber had grown, especially after absorbing a wave of terrifying fiendish aura on the battlefield.

It was not far from becoming a Sixth Tribulation Divine Weapon.

Just a few more kills should be enough.

"Thanks to your excellency's blessing, the Huangfu family remains stable," Huangfu Jinlian replied.

"Hmm, that's good. If there are any troubles in the future, you can come to me. If you can't find me, you can go to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau and find Feng Jiuying or the Princely Heir of Beiliang, Wei Wuque. They will assist you," Chen Yuan said solemnly.

"In the future...." Huangfu Jinlian looked excited, quickly stood and bowed to Chen Yuan, saying:

"I am deeply grateful to your excellency. With your words, the Huangfu family is content."

Huangfu Qi had served as a Golden Envoy for many years, and although most of the power in Liangzhou was in the hands of the Beiliang Royal Mansion, he had accumulated a lot of fortune, which inevitably attracted envy and covetousness.

Since Huangfu Qi's death, part of the reason for the Huangfu family's profound sorrow was the fear of people coming with ill intentions.

But with this renowned Chen Yuan as their backing, they wouldn't be afraid anymore.

They might not regain their former glory, but they could stabilize, continue to cultivate their descendants, and with their substantial resources, perhaps someone could rise to prominence.

"Miss Jinlian, no need to thank me."

Chen Yuan stepped forward to help her up, feeling a soft sensation in his hand that caused a stir in his heart.

Huangfu Jinlian also blushed slightly, recalling what her father had advised, not daring to look up at Chen Yuan, just being lifted by a force with her head lowered.

"Thank you, your excellency...."

"It's no matter. I know you may be uneasy, so return to the mansion for now. Just remember what I said today." Being alone with a woman was not entirely appropriate.

He, Chen, was not that kind of person!

"Yes."

Huangfu Jinlian bowed slightly, preparing to leave, yet her eyes seemed hooked, glancing at Chen Yuan for several breaths, sighing softly, and gradually leaving.

How could she, such a jinxed solitary star, be worthy of the esteemed Lord Chen?

When her father was alive, he was still refused, and now he's passed, the disparity is even greater.

What a pity, if she could lean on the great tree that is Lord Chen, their Huangfu family in Liangzhou would truly be worry-free, perhaps even more prosperous than before.

Watching the other leave, Chen Yuan felt no deep emotion.

Perhaps if he spoke, she would agree.

But he, Chen, was not someone who fell at the sight of a woman, there was no need to create trouble for himself.

In the following days, Liangzhou City remained peaceful, in between cultivating, Wei Wuque came to see Chen Yuan, mainly about the warhorses.

Taking this opportunity to deepen his friendship with Chen Yuan.

In his leisure, he also teased Chen Yuan, saying how he wouldn't accept a woman delivered to his doorstep, having heard that the Jinlian girl was quite lovely and gentle.

Chen Yuan righteously informed him:

"A true man standing between heaven and earth should not be indulged in debauchery."

Wei Wuque, however, laughed heartily, recalling the few beauties previously prepared for Chen Yuan, and shook his head:

"Brother Chen, you are noble, you are impressive...."

In these days of cultivation, Chen Yuan's cultivation had solidified completely, even advancing a small step. The previous expansive purple light seemed to reshape his being, almost changing his aptitude.

Previously, even after several days, his cultivation wouldn't progress this much.

A small step in the Primordial Spirit Realm was equivalent to a large step in the upper and lower realms.

If progress were so easily made, many strong practitioners wouldn't be stuck in this realm for years.

That day, Wei Wuque took advantage of Chen Yuan's free time to visit again, but before they had talked much, a Heavenly Patrol Envoy hurriedly rushed into the Heavenly Patrol Hall to report:
