Chapter 720 Kid, you've got guts.
The Ice Scale cub's current behavior can only be considered as a preliminary acceptance of Shen Li, without showing any hostility.
But that's enough. As long as they gain recognition, they can be completely tamed in the future.
The Ice-Scaled Beast has a very long growth cycle; it is said that the longest-lived ones can live for thousands of years or even longer.
The lifespan of the thousand-year-old tortoise and the ten-thousand-year-old turtle, and the lifespan of the Ice-Scaled Beast, are not much shorter than these two.
Who knows, we might actually live to see our great-grandchildren born!
"Adult Ice-Scaled Beasts are extremely loyal to their masters and possess immense strength, comparable to a Grandmaster of the Great Freedom Sect. Riding one allows one to travel a thousand miles a day, traversing mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground, making it the perfect mount that many martial arts practitioners dream of!"
Grand Tutor Shen was very satisfied with this scene.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Jia Daoshi was truly very satisfied with the gift presented by Grand Tutor Shen.
This is different from mechanical beasts, which are, after all, cold machines without emotions.
The Ice-Scaled Beast is much stronger.
It possesses wisdom comparable to that of an adult, except that it cannot speak.
"Then I'll have someone take the Ice Scale Beast to the empty room in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Tomorrow, I'll prepare a separate courtyard for it so it can grow up happily!"
Jia Daoshi quickly made arrangements.
"Master, let me do it!"
Jia Bing quickly led Chen Long and Yuan Biao up and took the carriage directly into the city of Juebi, heading towards the city lord's mansion.
When the city of Juebi held a victory celebration banquet, Jia Bing and his team were also called back to help maintain order.
As for the rear, Bao Longxing was put in charge of the overall situation!
The black-armored guards behind Grand Tutor Shen, who were responsible for the handover, were all taken aback when they saw the strength of Jia Bing and his group.
Although it was just a brief encounter during the handover, and the other party was all smiles, the aura emanating from Jia Bing and his companions was far stronger than theirs!
Does that mean that after ten years away, the masters of the Central Plains have become as common as cabbages?
It shouldn’t be!
Or is it that only this young master-in-law has such talent under his command?
Then they looked around again before finally feeling relieved.
Although there were many people, most of them were still within the normal range of martial arts skills.
However, no matter what, the strength that Jia Bing, Chen Long and the others displayed was enough to overwhelm them!
"No wonder. The young master is highly regarded in both the martial arts world and the imperial court for marrying Miss Shen. Even his subordinates and guards are more than most princes and ministers have."
Several black-armored guards sighed inwardly.
"Grandpa, let's not just stand outside. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion. Today is not only our victory celebration banquet, but also yours. This seat of honor is waiting for you!"
Jia Daoshi clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, showing utmost courtesy.
"Hahaha! Good!"
Grand Tutor Shen was in a very good mood and agreed with a hearty laugh.
This was the happiest and most joyful day he had had in ten years.
"Greetings, Grand Tutor Shen!"
"Long live Grand Tutor Shen!"
May Grand Tutor Shen enjoy boundless blessings!
Whether they were from the imperial court or from the martial arts world, everyone around them bowed to Grand Tutor Shen as he approached.
Of course, even a renowned figure in the martial arts world like Tian Ying would simply nod and acknowledge Grand Tutor Shen.
Grand Tutor Shen, however, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces before him and suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world.
"Greetings, Grand Tutor!"
At this moment, Wu Ce, Ji Bingyan, and Jia Daoshi's wives also came forward to greet them.
"Oh? You're the First Prince, Wu Ce?"
"Princess Taiping, Ji Bingyan?"
When Grand Tutor Shen saw Wu Ce and Ji Bingyan, he was slightly taken aback. Ten years had passed, and the little prince and princess had grown up!
"Exactly!" Wu Ce nodded with a smile. "Grand Tutor! I've been thinking about you every single day since you left!"
"Grandpa Shen, Bingyan greets you!" After bowing, Ji Bingyan began to introduce the women beside her.
After hearing this, Grand Tutor Shen glanced at Jia Daoshi and his wives, then turned around and patted Jia Daoshi on the shoulder.
A meaningful look appeared in his eyes.
"Kid, you've got guts."
"hehe."
Jia Daoshi could only give an awkward smile.
There's nothing I can do; I only have so many wives. That's just how the world is.
It's just that his wife is more beautiful, has fairer skin, a better figure, and a more powerful background...
Soon, the group returned to the city lord's mansion.
"Grandpa, let's have a good drink today, and tell me about the situation in Beihai!" Shen Li said, sitting next to Grand Tutor Shen.
Ever since the only elder in the family returned, Shen Li has transformed from a prince into a little girl who loves to listen to stories!
“Okay, little Ali, whatever story you want to hear, Grandpa will tell you.”
The old man always granted his granddaughter's requests.
As Jia Daoshi and his entourage returned to the city lord's mansion and took their seats, the celebratory banquet that had caused a sensation throughout the court and the country truly began!
Grand Tutor Shen's unexpected return elevated the celebration banquet to a whole new level!
People came to pay their respects, offer blessings, and bring gifts in an endless stream!
Meanwhile, outside the cliff city, all sorts of messages were flying around!
Grand Tutor Shen's triumphant return to the capital is absolutely explosive news, and we must spread the news here as soon as possible!
Grand Tutor Shen didn't bother with this.
He doesn't care at all.
Inside the city lord's mansion, wine cups were clinked and toasts were exchanged.
Outside the city lord's mansion, wine cups and goblets were being served.
The entire cliff city was engulfed in revelry.
Many people who come to Cliff City, even if they don't meet Jia Daoshi or Jia Tisi, still get to know other important figures and can be said to have benefited a lot!
Just as everyone was finishing their meal and the party was about to end.
The imperial envoy sent by the court arrived late!
The imperial envoy was also deeply shocked after seeing the scene at the cliff city.
Especially after learning that Grand Tutor Shen, who had been on a campaign for ten years, had returned to the capital in triumph, he was so frightened that he tumbled off his horse!
"My...My lord! Are you alright?" The accompanying guards rushed forward and helped the imperial envoy up.
"It's alright! It's alright! Let's go... let's go to the City Lord's Mansion..."
Although the imperial envoy said that, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up if it weren't for the guards supporting him!
My legs are trembling!
Next, naturally, came the issuance of the imperial edict.
Since Jia Daoshi already knew about the reward arranged by Ji Wuxin, he was not surprised.
After the announcement is completed, the eldest prince, Wu Ce, will soon depart from Juebi City.
Looking at the city he had guarded for so many years, Wu Ce said with a nostalgic expression, "Brother Daoshi, I entrust Youzhou Prefecture to you. I can rest assured that it is in your hands!"
These words made Jia Daoshi a little shy.
The imperial envoy did not stay in the city lord's mansion for long.
After reading the imperial edict and bestowing the titles, he left in a hurry.
Because he has more important things to do now!
As the banquet drew to a close, the various groups of people in the Cliff City began their departure.
