Two days later, the official edict from the court was issued, formally conferring the title of Duke Wu'an upon Shen Qing. In just these couple of days, the news of Shen Qing's ennoblement had already spread throughout the Capital.

At the same time, the fact of his breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm became known to these people, causing quite a stir among the Capital's nobles.

At the entrance of the residence.

Craftsmen carefully hung a plaque draped in red silk above the lintel, the golden words "Marquis Wu'an Mansion" appearing particularly solemn in the sunlight, drawing the attention and discussion of many passersby.

"This is the newly conferred Marquis Wu'an Mansion? The house feels so small."

"I heard that Shen Qing is promising at a young age. No wonder he was granted this honor and titled a Marquis by His Majesty at such a young age, having already reached the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Realm."

"A true prodigy, the Shen Family has truly brought honor to their ancestors this time."

"…"

Tian Xiaohu and others stood at the entrance, looking up at the brand new plaque overhead, waves of excitement surging in their hearts.

They had never thought that they would one day be connected with a marquis of the Great Zhou, changing their status and position so drastically.

After a while, Wei Chengye, Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan, Yang Henshan, and Yu Hai Bei, among other colleagues from the Military Department, arrived one after another.

They were not surprised to hear that Shen Qing was made a marquis.

After all, under the Great Zhou, there was no Primordial Spirit Realm Martial Artist who remained outside the court's system.

A Primordial Spirit Realm martial master, with tremendous martial prowess capable of commanding an army, had the capital to establish a noble family and posed an unstable factor if not utilized by the court.

Thus, it was only a matter of time before Shen Qing, at his young age, was conferred the title of Marquis.

Wei Chengye and the others, being government office colleagues with Shen Qing, naturally needed to come to congratulate him and deepen their connections.

With Shen Qing at such an age, his future prospects were limitless.

In this period, visiting frequently could do no harm.

Actually, not just them.

Many from the dispatch office in the southern part of the Military Department also came, thick-skinned, and the number was considerable.

Seeing the crowd from the Military Department, Tian Xiaohu and others at the entrance very courteously ushered them into the residence one by one.

This time, Shen Qing did not send out invitations, but upon learning about his change in status, each noble family had the intent of establishing ties, sending their members to congratulate him.

Soon after, a few young disciples dressed in splendid attire with extraordinary demeanor approached the residence's entrance.

All of them hailed from eminent families, exuding an aristocratic aura in their every movement.

Li Yi, who had previously had conflicts with Shen Qing, was surprisingly among them.

Seeing this impressive lineup, Tian Xiaohu and others guarding the entrance were secretly astonished.

They immediately adjusted their demeanor, putting on broad smiles, and bowed to show respect.

During this period, Shen Qing had hired a ceremonial teacher to carefully instruct them for several days, ensuring they did not panic when faced with such a scene.

The taught content now proved useful one by one.

They did their utmost to welcome each esteemed guest, guiding them into the residence, diligently arranging everything to ensure the Shen Family's propriety was upheld.

While carefully checking, Tian Xiaohu and others found that apart from the Xue Family, members from the other seven major families all came with gifts, showing that these families were not arrogant or contemptuous.

On the contrary, many families preferred having more friends rather than offending a Marquis in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Near noon, the number of people in the residence increased, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

As some were conversing in hushed tones or admiring the scenery within the residence, a series of orderly footsteps sounded quietly.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the source, and they saw rows of Imperial guards in splendid armor flooding the mansion's gate, standing in two lines with overwhelming momentum.

Following them, a grand procession slowly approached the center of the guards, finally halting in front of Shen Qing's residence.

In that moment, all eyes involuntarily gathered on the ornate carriage.

"Is that... Princess Yuzhen?" someone in the crowd first recognized the carriage, exclaimed, breaking the silence. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

Everyone's hearts were filled with surging waves of incredulity.

Princess Yuzhen's reputation in the Capital City was known to all.

Some even spared no expense, seeking various rare treasures, just to catch a glimpse of her visage.

Who would have expected such a person to visit Shen Qing's residence, truly an unfathomable occurrence.

Just as everyone was immersed in shock, the curtain of the carriage gently lifted, and Princess Yuzhen gracefully stepped out.

Under the service of her palace maids, she walked step by step into the depths of the residence, her one gentle smile captivating countless hearts.

Behind her, Huang Furo, with a treasure blade at her waist and dressed in off-white martial attire embroidered with golden threads, closely followed.

Shen Qing, still sitting in inner meditation within the house, was quite surprised to hear of Princess Yuzhen's arrival.

He and Princess Yuzhen only had interactions during the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival, and their relationship was not deep.

Shen Qing for a moment couldn't grasp Princess Yuzhen's intentions.

"I understand."

Shen Qing said lightly, concluding his cultivation, tidied up his attire, and quickly proceeded to the main gate.

"The little Marquis respectfully welcomes Your Highness's grand visit!" Shen Qing stood at the entrance and, upon seeing Princess Yuzhen, bowed and greeted her.

"Marquis Shen, there's no need for so much courtesy. I came uninvited today, hoping Marquis Shen won't take offense."

Princess Yuzhen's lips curled into a slight smile, a smile that felt like the gentle spring breeze, soothing the soul, her voice crisp and pleasant, naturally endearing.
