Chapter 245 - Marquis Couple (Final Chapter of Volume) (1/2)
3rd September, the Imperial Court’s messengers arrived at the Meng family’s ancestral mansion. The Meng family’s elders led their clansmen to welcome them.
The amba.s.sador loudly announced the two marquisate conferments!
“Young Master Meng Chuan has been conferred the t.i.tle of marquis? His wife has also been conferred the t.i.tle of marquis?”
“A marquis couple?”
Upon hearing the messengers’ announcement, many people were shocked. How high was the status of a Marquis G.o.dfiend? How rare was it? In the entire Wu State, there were only three Marquis G.o.dfiends alive. For two Marquis G.o.dfiends to originate from Eastcalm Prefecture? It was something that the entire Eastcalm Prefecture could brag about for 1000 years.
“Have you heard? Senior Brother Meng Chuan has become a Marquis. His wife has also become a Marquis.”
“A marquis couple, and on the same day at that. This is truly unbelievable.”
“I don’t dare hope to become a marquis, much less marry a marquis as a wife. I’ll be satisfied as long as I can become a G.o.dfiend.”
“You should work hard to reach the Mortal Shedding realm first. Marquis? Ha!”
Inside Mirror Lake Dao Academy, a group of Dao Academy disciples discussed Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.
Since Meng Chuan had once cultivated here, Mirror Lake Dao Academy had grown in strength and size over the years. It became the undisputed number one Dao Academy in Eastcalm Prefecture. With a large number of people moving into the city, there five times as many disciples in Mirror Lake Dao Academy compared to when Meng Chuan’s time.
The Dao Academy continued to expand over the years. However, land in Eastcalm Prefecture City was too precious. Thus, the Dao Academy could no longer expand.
“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue have become Marquises?” In a small building in Mirror Lake Dao Academy, Yun Qingping was writing when she suddenly stopped to listen to the discussions outside. She was the same age as Meng Chuan. She was already 38 years old this year.
In the blink of an eye, 20 years have pa.s.sed. Back then, I felt that Meng Chuan would become more and more powerful. Now, he has already become a Marquis G.o.dfiend. Even Liu Qiyue has become a Marquis G.o.dfiend. Yun Qingping stopped writing and looked out the window blankly.
Twenty years. She had gone from being the eldest daughter of the Yun family to a lecturer in Mirror Lake Dao Academy. She had experienced a lot. She had set her mind on cultivation and worked hard to become a G.o.dfiend. However, as she grew older, she realized that she didn’t have what it took to become a G.o.dfiend. She became a Mirror Lake Dao Academy lecturer and worked hard to teach her disciples.
What about me? It’s been 20 years. I’ve already reached the Impervious realm. I haven’t even achieved Sword Force. It’s probably not bad if I can achieve Sword Force before I turn old. Yun Qingping laughed self-deprecatingly. Humans are indeed different. The best I can achieve in life is what Meng Chuan achieved when he was young.
In the past 20 years, she had completely fallen out with her father and left the family to roam the world with her sword. She had once fallen in love, but because of the demons, she was alone again. She hated the demons to the bone…
She once wanted to become stronger, to become a G.o.dfiend, and kill demons. However, she realized her limited potential and became a lecturer at Mirror Lake Dao Academy.
I’m weak, but I can still teach batches of disciples. I hope that some of my disciples will become G.o.dfiends and kill more demons. Yun Qingping continued writing. She taught every disciple very seriously, and she was very well-liked in the Dao Academy. Even after 20 years, n.o.body dared to publicize Meng Chuan and Yun Qinping’s annulled engagement because they were afraid that they would offend the Meng family.
Therefore, the young disciples in Mirror Lake Dao Academy didn’t know the relations.h.i.+p between their Lecturer Yun and Meng Chuan.
Over the years, the population in Jiang State Capital had surged-exceeding over ten million people. In terms of population in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang State Capital was ranked in the top ten.
“Jiang State Capital.” Meng Chuan’s family descended past the clouds and looked down at the magnificent city.
“That’s Meng Manor, our future home.” Meng Chuan pointed at a manor that spanned an extremely wide area. There was a lake in the manor, which showed how big it was.
