I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

After returning to the temporary palace and resting for a while, Long Bin said to Xiao Rong, "Pack your things and go back to Nanhai County immediately."

Xiao Rong immediately asked, stunned, "Why?"

"You have already experienced how powerful my enemies are. It is very dangerous for you to follow them, and you might even implicate the Xiao family of the South China Sea."

Xiao Rong asked with a stern face, "Are you afraid I'll be a burden to you?"

Long Bin stared intently at her and said, "It's not as simple as being afraid you'll be a burden; it's that you not only can't help me here, but you're also distracting me."

Tears streamed down Xiao Rong's face as she nodded and said, "I know my kung fu is terrible. I've always blamed myself; if I hadn't been injured, the Zhu family would have been wiped out by you."

A woman's most powerful weapon is crying.

Xiao Rong's crying and self-blame made Long Bin restless. Since coming into this world, Xiao Rong was practically the only woman he could find attractive, and also the one he talked to the most.

"Sister, it's not that your kung fu is weak, but that my enemy is exceptionally powerful."

He patiently explained, "Logically speaking, a seventh-grade master is already the pinnacle of martial arts, but from last night to this morning, we have encountered seven grandmaster-level powerhouses. I estimate that even more formidable enemies will appear next."

Xiao Rong shook her head and cried, "My dad didn't send me here to enjoy life, but to share joys and sorrows with you, to weather the storm together."

Long Bin was deeply moved, but from a safety perspective, Xiao Rong had to go home.

“Sister, besides my master, you and your father are the closest people to me in this world. Do you know that? If you stay here, it will prevent me from acting freely. Because you and your father are my Achilles' heel.”

“The enemy is insane; they will stop at nothing to kill me. If they control you, I will become their puppet.”

"This……"

Xiao Rong's heart skipped a beat. Her brother was right. She really shouldn't have stayed here.

"Brother, I can go home. But you have to grant me one request."

"Tell me your requirements first." Seeing that she agreed to go home, Long Bin immediately felt relieved.

"I... I came here on a mission. I can't go back until I complete the mission."

"What is your mission?"

Xiao Rong wiped away her tears, her face flushed, and lowered her head, saying, "My dad wants me to carry on the Qin family line, but you're even reluctant to kiss me, how can you carry on the family line?"

"This?" Long Bin was both surprised and moved.

Xiao Zhanhao, who was once a close bodyguard of his deceased maternal grandfather, has never forgotten him, as his grandfather's family is now deserted.

Xiao Zhanhao's son, Xiao Yuansheng, was granted the title of King of the South Sea for his outstanding military achievements and repeated acts of risking his life to save the old king. He is one of the few non-royal princes in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Xiao family has always regarded the descendants of the Qin family as their master. As the only bloodline of the Qin family, they respect the deceased Long Bin as their young master, which deeply moved Long Bin, who had traveled through time.

"Sister Rong, this task is impossible for you to complete."

When Xiao Rong saw him shake his head in denial, she burst into tears.

“I know I’m ugly and not good enough for you. But these are extraordinary times. If, if, something happens to me and the Qin family has no heir, you will be a sinner of the Qin family forever.”

Hua Bin took out a handkerchief, knelt down in front of her, wiped away her tears, and said softly, "If I agree with your cause, if I die in battle, what will happen to you, so young?"

"I will protect your children for the rest of my life and avenge the Qin family!"

After saying that, she threw herself into his arms and choked out, "Take me, take me now. Let's do it a few more times, let me take your seed back to Nanhai County."

Long Bin was in a dilemma. Any man would agree to a virtuous and enthusiastic girl.

However, he couldn't do that; he had to harden his heart and send her back.

On the one hand, his own situation was too dangerous; he could say that he had more days to live than die. Once he passed away, he would leave behind a widow and her children, who would certainly face many difficulties. He could not be selfish.

If it weren't for her, the daughter of the King of the South Sea could have lived a good life no matter who she married.

On the other hand, and more importantly, she loved the dead man, not herself.

Seeing that her lover was silent, Xiao Rong looked up and kissed him.

Long Bin was afraid that he would lose control of his mind and give in to her, so he reached out and pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep.

He changed into black clothes, picked her up, and murmured to himself, "I'm sorry, I have to race against time and seize the moment. The enemy and my brothers won't give me much time. I can't take care of your feelings anymore."

Holding Xiao Rong in his arms, he leaped into the air and flew away on his sword.

As evening fell, in the backyard of the Prince of Nanhai's mansion in Changzhou City, Nanhai County, he escorted Xiao Rong to her boudoir, leaving behind the words, "If I can secure my position in Lishui within three years, I will definitely come to find you." He then quietly returned.

I just got home, and there was a person standing in the courtyard.

"Shopkeeper, I'll order a few dishes for your restaurant."

Cheng Guoping, 48 years old, is the apparent owner of Wanyang Goods Store.

Seeing the handsome Long Bin, Cheng Guoping felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. He was a senior member of the Qin family, a secret bodyguard specially hidden by Long Bin's maternal grandfather, and the nominal head of Wanyang Goods Store.

Long Bin greeted Cheng Guoping warmly with a smile, saying, "You've all worked hard these past years. Please come inside and sit down."

"Young Master, everything we did was what we should do, and there's no hardship involved."

Upon entering the living room, Cheng Guoping handed over an account book.

"These are the financial statements for last year and the first half of this year. Please take a moment to review them."

The food had already been delivered.

Cheng Guoping got up, opened the wine bottle, and poured a glass for Long Bin.

The two drank and discussed business matters.

To Cheng Guoping's great surprise, the young master he had heard so much about was not useless at all. He not only had a thorough understanding of business, but also put forward a comprehensive solution for the business situation at present.

Cheng Guoping stared at him in utter shock, somewhat bewildered.

Long Bin chuckled and said, "You saw it with your own eyes, doesn't it contradict the rumors?"

Cheng Guoping gave a simple, honest smile, raised his glass, and said, "A toast to the young master!"

"Don't be so polite. In private, we're brothers. You're the older brother, and I'm the younger brother. You're not a servant of our family, and I'm not the Prince of the South, much less the young master."

Cheng Guoping was so excited when he heard this that he stood up and bowed deeply to the ground.

"To be regarded so highly by the young master, Cheng Guoping vows to serve the young master to the death."

Long Bin reached out and pulled him to sit down, saying, "We've agreed that when there are no outsiders, we'll address each other as brothers. Don't call me Young Master anymore; you can call me Young Master or Manager."

"Brother Guoping, have you found out about Hu Deren's situation?"

"We've figured it out. This is all the information we have about him."

Long took the stack of papers, and Cheng Guoping said, "Hu Deren's martial arts level is a sixth-grade master, which is a first-class martial artist in Lishui City. He also supports three second-grade masters and more than ten fifth- to eighth-grade martial artists in his family."

"Since the Qin family was wiped out, this person has become very depressed and has no contact with the outside world. He doesn't even attend gatherings in the martial arts world. Moreover, the Hu family has had almost no bad deeds in recent years."

"Young Master, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
