...
However, despite his rationality, Qian Daoliu's worries grew wildly like weeds.
Luo Nan and Moon Pavilion's development was too fast, so fast that it suffocated him.
Now they ignored the Spirit Hall, but what if?
What if one day Luo Nan found the Spirit Hall an eyesore, or Moon Pavilion's expansion stepped into the Spirit Hall's sphere of influence, and they planned to take action against the Spirit Hall?
Qian Daoliu closed his eyes in anguish.
He sadly realized that if that day really came, he, the dignified Peerless Douluo, the highest leader of the Spirit Hall, would have no way to stop that man.
"Sigh..."
"One wrong step leads to another..."
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The journey from Longxing City of the Star Luo Empire to Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire was long and bumpy.
However, for the Yu Clan, this long journey of more than half a month did not make them feel much fatigue; on the contrary, everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement for the future.
Finally, at noon on this day, a huge caravan consisting of hundreds of heavy carriages appeared outside the majestic south gate of Heaven Dou City.
This caravan was extremely conspicuous.
The carriages were pulled by large, extremely resilient low-level soul beasts, and the carriages were loaded with various heavy construction tools, rare materials, and the Yu Clan's possessions that they were unwilling to discard.
On both sides of the caravan, hundreds of burly, muscular members of the Yu Clan strode forward with their heads held high.
Leading the procession were Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan, and Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, who had escorted them all the way.
"Old Rhinoceros, we're here! Heaven Dou City is just ahead!"
Bai He pointed to the magnificent city ahead, smiling as he spoke to Niu Gao beside him.
Niu Gao looked up at the towering city walls, took a deep breath, and a complex emotion flashed across his rugged face.
Since being abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect and forced to flee the Heaven Dou Empire, he thought he would never set foot in this city again.
Unexpectedly, things had taken a turn for the worse; not only had he returned, but he had been brought back by Moon Pavilion in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men.
"Yes, we're here,"
Niu Gao sighed, then turned to his clansmen behind him and roared,
"Get your act together! We're working for Moon Pavilion now, don't act like you've never seen anything like this before and embarrass the Yu clan!"
"Yes, Patriarch!" Hundreds of clansmen responded in unison, their voices echoing across the land.
The convoy had barely arrived at the city gate when, before the guards could even question them, a group of elegantly dressed, well-trained men emerged from within.
Leading them was Tang Yuehua's trusted steward.
"Are you Chief Niu Gao of the Yu Clan?" the steward asked, quickly stepping forward and bowing respectfully.
"I am here on the orders of Lady Yuehua and His Majesty Luo Nan to welcome you all."
"The entry formalities have all been completed. Please follow me; the estates for your accommodations are ready."
Seeing Moon Pavilion's thoughtful and high-level reception, Niu Gao's last trace of unease vanished.
He nodded, waved his hand, and led his clansmen, following Moon Pavilion's entourage, into Heaven Dou City.
The convoy passed through bustling streets, not lingering in the noisy city center, but heading straight for a quiet area in the eastern district of Heaven Dou City.
This is the most prestigious noble district in Heaven Dou City, where land is incredibly valuable, and ordinary people don't even have the right to approach it.
Finally, the convoy stopped in front of the gate of a vast and magnificent manor.
"Clan Chief Niu Gao, we've arrived."
"This is the temporary residence that Moon Pavilion has prepared for the Yu Clan."
The manager smiled and gestured for them to enter.
Niu Gao and the elders of the Yu Clan stepped off the carriage, and when they saw the manor before them,
everyone involuntarily gasped and froze on the spot.
This was no temporary residence; it was practically a small palace!
The tall vermilion gate was inlaid with golden copper nails, and two majestic white jade lions stood before it.
Peering through the open gates, they saw pavilions and towers scattered throughout the manor, with artificial hills and flowing water creating a picturesque scene.
What astonished these architectural experts even more was that every building in the manor was constructed using extremely precious wood and stone.
"This...this is really for us?"
Niu Gao swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.
He had originally thought that Moon Pavilion would be quite generous if they could arrange ordinary houses for them across several streets.
Who would have thought that they would directly create such a luxurious, top-tier manor!
"Of course," the manager nodded with a smile.
"Madam said that the Yu Clan are Moon Pavilion's most honored guests, so naturally, they must be treated with the best conditions."
"A sumptuous banquet and hot water have been prepared in the manor. Please come in and rest, you must be tired from your journey."
Led by the manager, the members of the Yu Clan, like country bumpkins visiting a grand garden, entered the luxurious manor with expressions of utter awe.
Just as the Yu Clan had settled in and were preparing to enjoy a lavish welcome banquet, Luo Nan and Tang Yuehua, accompanied by several attendants, personally arrived at the manor.
"Your Majesty Luo Nan! Lady Yuehua!"
Upon seeing Luo Nan, Niu Gao quickly put down his wine cup and, with several elders, hurried to greet them, his demeanor extremely respectful.
If he had agreed to cooperate in Longxing City solely for the sake of money,
now, after witnessing Moon Pavilion's terrifying wealth and sincerity, he felt genuine respect for Luo Nan and Tang Yuehua.
"Clan Chief Niu Gao, you've had a long journey."
Luo Nan smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping across the manor, looking at the cheering Yu Clan members, and spoke gently.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the environment here?"
Luo Nan walked to the main seat in the hall, but didn't sit down. Instead, he turned to Niu Gao and continued,
"Your Yu Clan is new here, so please settle in like this for now."
"If you have any complaints about the current environment, or if you find anything inconvenient, please let me know." "
I will arrange for someone to handle it for you immediately, and I will ensure that no one suffers any inconvenience. "
Hearing Luo Nan's considerate words, Niu Gao was so moved that his eyes reddened.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said excitedly , "No need! No need!"
"Your Majesty, this environment is simply too good, so good that we are almost overwhelmed!"
"To be honest, the scale and luxury of this manor are ten or even a hundred times better than when we were with the Clear Sky Sect, during the sect's heyday!"
