Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

Clang clang clang...!

On this day, Lu Feifan was reading a book.

Suddenly, nine solemn bells rang throughout the imperial city.

"The new emperor has ascended the throne!"

Lu Feifan understood the meaning of the nine chimes.

"The death knell didn't sound; it seems he abdicated ahead of schedule!"

In the world of martial arts, the strong live very long lives.

Whether it's the head of a family, the leader of a sect, or even the throne.

It's not like you have to sit there until you die!

Generally, it takes hundreds of years, and when one wants to focus on cultivation, one will step down.

Of course, there are also those who sit there their whole lives until they die; that depends on the perspective of the person involved and those on the inside.

Now, it is clear that the emperor has abdicated.

Allowing the new emperor to ascend the throne is tantamount to delegating power ahead of schedule.

"I wonder if they'll support an empress or find another one from the royal family!"

Lu Feifan looked towards the direction of the imperial city.

The old emperor was quite an oddball among emperors.

She loved only one person in her life, and the empress died after giving birth to one daughter.

Some say he's dead, others say he's missing.

Regardless, the old emperor was indeed a romantic. After the empress passed away, he not only did not appoint another empress, but he also did not have any concubines. He only had one daughter from beginning to end.

Recently, he doesn't know what happened, but Chen Bo hasn't been coming to him anymore, leaving him without any sources of information.

And that old man, I haven't seen him for a while either.

The transition of imperial power between the old and new generations.

Such a momentous event occurred at Tianya Haige, and apart from the initial nine tolls of the bell, which signaled the change in the heavens of the Great Xia Dynasty, everything else remained as usual!

However, today Tianya Haige is destined to be deserted, and apart from the deaf and mute servants, no outsiders will come.

After all, only the powerful and wealthy are qualified to enter here.

On such a day, they certainly cannot be absent.

They should all go to the palace to offer their congratulations.

"I really want to sneak out and take a look!"

Lu Feifan turned his head and glanced into the depths of Tianya Haige.

Honestly, with his current strength, it would be quite easy for him to get out.

Those Imperial Guards outside, they couldn't even keep an eye on Xiantian people from entering before, they were just good for nothing. He can go out just as easily and happily.

The only variable is Shenwu, who is stationed at Tianya Haige.

The previous one was just slacking off.

But ever since that surprise attack, he has become serious.

I haven't relaxed yet.

When a powerful warrior gets serious, his patience can be truly terrifying.

"Forget it, I'll think about it after I reach the Divine Martial Realm!"

Lu Feifan thought for a moment and decided that it would be safest for him to go out only after he reached the Divine Martial Realm. At that time, it wouldn't matter whether anyone discovered him or not.

I've endured two years of loneliness, so I'm not in a hurry for this moment.

Five days later, Mu Xiaoya, the girl who disliked Lu Feifan, came over again with the baby.

"Who has ascended the throne!"

Skillfully taking the baby, Lu Feifan asked the question that had puzzled him before.

"It's...the Empress!"

Mu Xiaoya didn't know why, but she paused for a moment when she said this.

“Dad…Dad!”

Just then, the little baby, who was being supported by Lu Feifan and jumping around on his feet, called out happily to him.

For a moment, Lu Feifan felt a tingling sensation in his heart, for some reason.

It was as if his own son had actually called him "Dad."

"You can't shout that! If your dad hears me, I'll be in big trouble!"

Lu Feifan then realized what was happening and glanced awkwardly at Mu Xiaoya.

The girl had a lot of opinions about him.

He's bound to explode when his own nephew calls him "Dad".

"It's alright, his father was trash and is already dead. The little guy is so lucky to have you, why don't you become his godfather!"

Mu Xiaoya said indifferently.

Lu Feifan's expression was strange.

Logically speaking, children learn to speak from adults.

The fact that he can call someone "Dad" must have come from somewhere; someone must have taught him!

But he doesn't have a father, which is quite a lot of information!

However, this is someone else's business and has little to do with him.

"If you have no objections, then I'll become the little guy's godfather from now on!"

Lu Feifan nodded in agreement.

This little guy is so cute, the more I spend time with him, the more I feel a connection with him.

He liked it very much.

He felt that perhaps the loneliness that arose in his heart from staying at Tianya Haige for so long made him less resistant to such small things.

In short, whatever the reason, he really adored the little guy.

Being a godfather feels great and is quite interesting.

Try this when you have some free time; it's not bad to play around with raising/nurturing.

"This is a gift from your godfather!"

Lu Feifan took out a palm-sized piece of inner armor from his pocket.

This is a high-grade Earth-rank inner armor, possessing the most basic size-adjustable design, which changes according to the user's body shape.

It can be as small as the palm of your hand, or as large as a small house in its extreme state.

As long as it's not damaged, one piece can last a lifetime.

It should be warm in winter and cool in summer, and free from dust, which are the most basic requirements.

The effectiveness of a defense depends on the user's skill.

However, even if Mu Tianyi is in his infancy, he will not pose any threat to him at least in his innate state.

"Earth Rank... hiss, at least you still have a conscience!"

After touching the inner armor, Mu Xiaoya first gasped, then beamed with joy, finally finding Lu Feifan more agreeable.

However, she only recognized it as Earth-rank, and did not understand that it had reached the High-grade level.

So, I'll accept it without hesitation?

Although Lu Feifan genuinely meant it when he gave the gift.

However, even a high-grade Earth-rank weapon is extremely rare in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and most divine weapons used are no more than this.

Generally speaking, a normal person would be flattered and repeatedly decline such a gift.

Why did this person accept it so readily?

Although I knew she was a bit oblivious, I never expected her to be this oblivious.

Moreover, she was too calm.

"its not right!"

Mu Xiaoya seemed to only just realize what was happening.

She examined the inner armor repeatedly.

That's right!

Lu Feifan nodded when he saw her expression change.

It seems he didn't realize it before.

Now that I understand, I am deeply moved.

however.

"You, have you guessed something?"

Mu Xiaoya looked at Lu Feifan with surprise and doubt.

A Tier 1 treasure!

Even within their royal family, the quantity is not large, and each item is exceptionally rare. They are primarily circulated among internal personnel, and even rewards for great achievements rarely use Earth-rank treasures.

Even among members of the same clan, this is the case.

It's really unusual for the other party to be so generous right after recognizing a godson.

Even a biological son wouldn't be this good!

In Mu Xiaoya's mind, this inner armor must be a protective treasure given to him by the Duke's mansion.

How could someone be so generous if they didn't absolutely value those close to them?

Therefore, she felt there was only one possibility.

"What did I just guess?!"

Lu Feifan felt something was off; there seemed to be a problem here.

Mu Xiaoya's reaction seemed to be different from what he expected.

"No, it's nothing!"

Mu Xiaoya quickly shook her head.

Judging from Lu Feifan's expression, he didn't seem to know what was going on.

in this way.

Giving someone a Rank 1 Earth inner armor directly—is this the power of bloodline bonds?

Mu Xiaoya couldn't understand it, but she was deeply shocked.

If she could understand that this inner armor was of superior quality, she would probably be even more shocked.
