As the Fifth Princess offered her congratulations, the First and Fourth Princes followed suit.
Qin Hanchu exchanged pleasantries with the three of them before leaving with Lin Ying and the other four.
Due to this incident, the day's outing plans had to be canceled.
At the same time, the news of Qin Hanchu being enfeoffed spread rapidly throughout the capital.
The tourists who had recorded videos were all supervised by the Xuanjian Division to delete them.
The Xuanjian Division recorded everyone present, and if Qin Hanchu's image leaked, all of them would face accountability.
In the Jiangdong Prefecture Administrative Building, the prefect's mobile phone rang.
Upon answering, Gong Changjun's trembling voice came through: "Mom, something big has happened."
"What is it?" the Jiangdong Prefect asked, frowning.
"Qin Hanchu... Qin Hanchu has been enfeoffed, and as the Marquis of Champion!" Gong Changjun's voice was filled with shock and fear.
Although the Marquis of Champion was merely a title, its status was no less than that of the Jiangdong Prefect.
At twenty-one years old, being enfeoffed as the Marquis of Champion, once Qin Hanchu graduated from the Military Martial Academy, he was bound to wield great power.
As long as Qin Hanchu achieved a few merits, his status would become even more formidable.
The Qin Hanchu of the past dared to beat him, and the current Qin Hanchu would certainly pay even less attention to Gong Changjun.
"What? Enfeoffed? How is that possible? What happened?" The Jiangdong Prefect stood up in shock, unable to believe it was true.
"Qin Hanchu isn't at the peak of the ninth rank; his true strength is the Grandmaster realm! Today, the First Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Princess all tried to win him over. Later, Supervisor Hong Tianxiang personally delivered a message, bestowing Qin Hanchu the title of Marquis of Champion. His identification and token have already been handed over to Qin Hanchu, and the Marquis's mansion and other rewards are already being prepared," Gong Changjun said.
"A Grandmaster at twenty-one!"
"This..."
"It would be strange if he *wasn't* enfeoffed!"
"Being enfeoffed is just the beginning; the next step is likely a bestowed marriage, making him a驸马 directly."
"Such a gifted talent will undoubtedly be at the pinnacle of the Great Yan Kingdom in the future."
"As long as he doesn't oppose the royal family, who in the Great Yan Kingdom would dare to touch him?"
"Your father and I are going to the capital immediately. You will accompany us to apologize to him."
The Jiangdong Prefect had already put her son's grievances aside.
The most important thing now was to win over Qin Hanchu, not to make an enemy of him.
Similarly, in Jiangdong Prefecture, but this time within the military.
"Haha... Good... Wonderful... As long as Xiao Ying marries Qin Hanchu, my Lin family will have a son-in-law who is a Marquis," Lin Ying's father said, laughing happily upon receiving the news.
"Laughing your head off. Do you think His Majesty would allow such a genius to become our Lin family's son-in-law?" Lin Ying's mother said dejectedly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Longjiang's laughter abruptly stopped.
His wife was right.
Such a genius would definitely be bestowed a marriage in the future.
In the Lu Mountain Prefecture Xuanjian Division, Wang Dalv was drinking tea with Liu Dechun of the Lijian Division.
Just then, both of their phones rang simultaneously.
As they answered their calls, their eyes simultaneously revealed shock.
After hanging up, Liu Dechun trembled, "This... he's already been enfeoffed?"
"A Grandmaster, he's actually reached the Grandmaster realm, this is simply astounding," Wang Dalv, normally composed, was also flushed with excitement.
"Brother Wang, if I have any difficulties in the future, you must advise me! If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't only become useless, but I would have also provoked a Marquis." Liu Dechun was filled with lingering fear.
He had almost been tricked by Mu Zhengrong back then.
It was Wang Dalv who had the foresight, realizing early on that Qin Hanchu was destined for greatness.
And in such a short time, Qin Hanchu had received the title of Marquis of Champion.
The direct superior of the Lijian Division and Xuanjian Division, the "Divine Sword Marquis," was merely a Marquis title.
In Lu Mountain Prefecture, Mu Zhengrong also received the news of Qin Hanchu's enfeoffment.
At this moment, Mu Zhengrong was roaring in anger.
The revenge for his son's death had not yet been taken, and Qin Hanchu was already enfeoffed!
What was detestable was that he had no ability to kill Qin Hanchu.
In Jiangcheng, Anqing Prefecture, Chu Feng was on the phone with Wang Zhan of Island City.
At this time, both of them were very excited, celebrating Qin Hanchu's success.
With Qin Hanchu enfeoffed, it would be even more convenient to investigate matters concerning the Asura King.
As for Qin Hanchu's safety, they had no need to worry.
The two of them knew that Qin Hanchu's true cultivation was that of a Great Grandmaster.
Even if the royal family's ancestor came out of seclusion, they wouldn't be able to threaten Qin Hanchu.
In the circles of nobles and ministers in the capital, everyone was also shocked by Qin Hanchu's name.
Many began preparing gifts, intending to present them to Qin Hanchu for his enfeoffment.
In the evening, Qin Hanchu had returned to his villa at the Military Martial Academy.
"My Lord, would you like me to serve you tonight?" At nine o'clock, Xue Lingxian was preparing to go to bed. As she was leaving, she playfully teased Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu grinned wickedly, "Sure, stay."
"You're not shy, are you?" Xue Lingxian snorted, then left with Xinxin.
After Xue Lingxian and the other left, Qin Hanchu said to Lin Ying and Tang Siwei with a smile, "Would you two like to serve this Lord into bed?"
"Get lost," Lin Ying said impatiently.
Tang Siwei, on the other hand, smiled and said, "I'll leave the door open for you tonight. Come over yourself."
Qin Hanchu chuckled awkwardly, "No need."
Next door, at Xiao Han's home.
At this moment, Xiao Han had already dialed the number of her ancestor from the Xiao family.
"Ancestor, how did your conversation with Qin Hanchu go? Qin Hanchu was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Champion today," Xiao Han said.
"From today onwards, the Xiao family will fully support Qin Hanchu. As for you, don't deliberately try to make him like you; let things happen naturally."
"If he falls in love with you, it will be the fortune of our Xiao family."
"If he doesn't like you, then follow him loyally."
The Xiao family ancestor said.
Huh?
Xiao Han was somewhat bewildered. What did her ancestor mean?
It felt less like Qin Hanchu was joining the Xiao family and more like the Xiao family had already submitted to Qin Hanchu.
"You will understand everything later. In any case, don't use any tricks on him."
The Xiao family ancestor mused in his heart, was Qin Hanchu's enfeoffment really that shocking?
If the royal family knew Qin Hanchu's true strength, they might directly enfeoff him as a King!
Generally speaking, only direct relatives of the royal family were enfeoffed as Kings.
In the history of the Great Yan Kingdom, the only King with a different surname was Qin Hanchu's father.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Han's eyes were filled with confusion.
What secrets did Qin Hanchu hold?
That his own ancestor would actually bow down.
The next morning, at the Toyotomi family in the Thousand Islands Country.
"What did you say? Qin Hanchu is a Grandmaster? And he's already been enfeoffed as the Marquis of Champion?"
Toyotomi Hideyasu's eyes widened in shock as he listened to the news on the phone.
A twenty-one-year-old Grandmaster, this...
"It's absolutely true."
"Understood." Toyotomi Hideyasu hung up the phone in astonishment.
This news was too shocking; even as the head of the Toyotomi family, he was somewhat at a loss.
A moment later, a cold glint flashed in Toyotomi Hideyasu's eyes: "Qin Hanchu must die, otherwise he will surely be a threat to the Toyotomi family!"
