Chapter 217: This is a Secret Realm Anchor Pillar
As he entered, he was not stopped by the formation that would only let the disciples of the sect enter.
This caused the people around him to cast curious glances his way, yet no one dared approach.
Despite his disguised form, he radiated a trace amount of his aura, which made all of them stay away, including some of the high-level decons who promptly reported this to both Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan.
He soon reached the main hall, where both of the girls were waiting for him, and as soon as they saw him, both of them flew from their Sect Leader's seats and into his arms.
Xu Qianghua, who was surprised by this, quickly caught both of them and made his way towards the inner rooms that were connected to the main hall.
And as he did, he removed his disguise, which caused his handsome face to return.
With the girls in his arms, he moved toward his room. They had some things to discuss, and the privacy of the Sect Leader's private chambers was perfect for such an occasion.
However, this did not stop the two girls from wrapping their arms around his neck and kissing him on both his cheek and his lips.
After a while of this, Bai Xueyan asked, "Where have you been these few months brother?"
"Yeah, both of our moms have been worried and were preparing to lead a few of the top clansmen to search for you," Liu Anwei said as she rubbed her head against his chest.
Hearing this, Xu Qianghua stopped and said, " I just went touring the Central Continent to see how things were going."
"Why, though? You didn't have to do that, Brother," Bai Xueyan asked.
"But it's normal. Besides, I wanted to get to know the area we live in and see how the people under us have progressed," he replied.
"Hmmm, I suppose you did, and this does make sense," she said before adding, "We can do it after we are done with this Spiritual Vein ceremony."
"Agreed, my dears," he replied, resuming his walk.
After a few more minutes, the three of them made it to the main bedroom, which both of the girls decided to only use when Xu Qianghua was there.
He then placed the girls on his bed, and they sat down and began talking about the sect's progress.
"Ah, the Sect's progress has been steadily increasing," Bai Xueyan began. "The people are happier now that the Empyrean Harmony Sect is here to provide them with the necessary resources to cultivate.
At the same time, the Xuzhong Empire opened new trading routes, and the trade between the two regions has been steady.
And with this, we have sent many recruitment agents to many parts of the Continent to recruit.
However, because of the hard acceptance requirements, progress has been slow.
With all the good things happening, there have been fewer issues, and most of the disciples are growing by leaps and bounds."
"Indeed, things are developing very smoothly. After you left, we were able to do all of this in just a few months, which is surprising," Liu Anwei chimed in.
"Thankfully, nothing serious has happened, as most of the citizens are happy to see the prosperity in front of their eyes.
Most of us are worried about this, as without them, there will be no consent supply of cultivators in the future.
"I see; I suppose you're right. Well, after the Ceremony, we will need to see the changes for ourselves and make some plans for the future," Xu Qianghua said, rubbing his hand through the girls' heads.
After this, Xu Qianghua started talking about everything he saw during his travels, and the girls listened with great interest.
And as they listened, they got to know how the lives outside their territory were doing.
"So, tell us, did you bring a gift for us?" Bai Xueyan asked, knowing the answer.
"Yes, I did, but first, I want you to guess what it is. If you get it right, I will stay with you girls tonight instead of going back," Xu Qianghua answered.
Then again, you can't get any better than what the Sect gives us, so I am not really worried about it.
Hmmm, let's see. It can't be a cultivation technique because you have more than enough.
Maybe some kind of medicinal herb, but it doesn't really fit with your style, Brother.
So it should be some rare wild beast cub or something similar," Bai Xueyan said.
"Haha, she is getting close," Xu Qianghua said, laughing.
"Hmph, you're not too far off, An'an," he said, patting her head.
"Okay, I'm done. Is it really a beast cub or something similar?" she asked.
Xu Qianghua then paused before nodding.
"Although you are close in some way, but it is not any of your guesses but something that neither of you have ever seen before," he replied, looking at them.
Bai Xueyan nodded, also shaking her hands.
"Well, what are you waiting for, Brother dear? Let's go and have a look," she said.
Seeing this, Xu Qianghua couldn't help but smile; he then waved his hand and created a small screen that showed the secret realm pillar in the system space.
Seeing him, both of the women looked confused as they looked up and asked, "What is this, brother Qiang?"
"This is a Secret Realm anchor pillar," He said with a smile.
