Xia Feng felt like a tool for his past self.
He had come to the Sacred Realm to find that so-called Seven-Colored Plate. It was impossible to do so by just staying home; travel was necessary.
Therefore, traveling was the best option, a chance to familiarize himself with the Sacred Realm and explore.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chan quickly responded, "Yes, Master."
"Chan'er, from now on, please call me Young Master," Xia Feng corrected her. Calling him Master felt too distant; Young Master sounded more intimate.
Back in the God Realm, people like Lao Tian Gou had called him Young Master.
What Xia Feng desired was sincerity and loyalty, not just polite forms of address.
Liu Chan's face lit up with joy. She called out happily, "Chan'er greets Young Master."
In Liu Chan's eyes, Xia Feng allowing her to call him Young Master was an acknowledgment of her, a clear sign that he considered her one of his own.
How could Liu Chan not be delighted?
However, this was quite a misunderstanding of Xia Feng's intentions, as he hadn't thought of it that way at all.
To Xia Feng, the title itself didn't matter; he simply preferred a more intimate address, and it wasn't specific to Liu Chan.
Seeing Liu Chan bow, Xia Feng waved his hand, "No need to be so formal. Let's reduce some of the courtesies."
"Mm," Liu Chan replied firmly.
"Young Master, where would you like to travel?" Liu Chan asked.
"Anywhere in the Sacred Realm will do. I have no specific destination in mind. You decide where we go."
Xia Feng's travels were aimless, his only goal being to find the Seven-Colored Plate by chance. He didn't care about the specific locations.
After all, chance was like one's destiny, already arranged.
With a predetermined fate, no matter how hard you tried, you were merely struggling within the lines of destiny, perhaps twisting a few curves.
It was like Xia Feng now; he had been arranged by his 'past self,' and no matter his efforts or resistance, he had to follow the path laid out for him.
Liu Chan pondered for a moment and then said, "The closest city is Tianmen City, which is within the Heavenly Gate Sect's sphere of influence. Let's go to Tianmen City."
"Whatever you say, you arrange it," Xia Feng nodded.
"Alright, if Master has no objections, we'll go to Tianmen City." Seeing Xia Feng agree, Liu Chan chose Tianmen City as their first stop.
Tianmen City was already the largest city in the vicinity. If they were going to travel, it made sense to visit the liveliest and most populated place. Otherwise, what would be the point of traveling to a desolate area?
Xia Feng nodded again and confirmed, "Then let's set off."
"Okay," Liu Chan replied.
The master and servant duo began their journey, taking no one with them.
Of course, the little piglet didn't count as someone; he was only half a person.
Tianmen City.
This was the area Liu Chan mentioned as being under the Heavenly Gate Sect's influence.
Perhaps because of Feng Da Dian, the city appeared very harmonious, with everyone wearing relaxed smiles.
Although the Sacred Realm had no overarching laws and people could kill as they pleased, each sect still had its own internal rules.
As the saying goes, without rules, nothing can be done properly. If the Heavenly Gate Sect allowed others to act with impunity and didn't establish its own regulations, Tianmen City would become a chaotic mess, and the sect's resources would not be allocated effectively.
Ultimately, it would be the lower-ranking members who suffered. Feng Da Dian was well aware of this situation, so he set rules for the people within the city.
As long as they were within the Heavenly Gate Sect's territory, violence was forbidden. If anyone disagreed, they had to sign a life-or-death agreement and fight in the arena.
Anyone who violated the Heavenly Gate Sect's rules would face severe punishment, such as 300 years of forced labor for serious offenses, or 100 lashes for minor ones. If a life was taken, regardless of who it was, that person would forfeit their own life.
This was why Feng Tong Pu behaved himself and dared not bully ordinary people.
It wasn't that Feng Tong Pu was inherently well-behaved; it was largely due to his upbringing. His family had instilled good values in him from a young age.
There were no truly bad people in the world; people were simply influenced by negative ideologies during their growth.
Human nature at birth is inherently good; everyone begins as a blank slate.
Xia Feng looked at the smiling faces of the people in the city, finding it completely different from what the little piglet had described.
"Chan'er, is everyone in Tianmen City like this? Has the Heavenly Gate Sect governed Tianmen City so well?" Xia Feng asked, looking around again.
"Yes, Tianmen City is the happiest city in the Sacred Realm, which is why many people wish to relocate here. Later, as the population grew, restrictions were put in place. Those below the Saint realm need to register to enter Tianmen City and cannot stay for extended periods."
Seeing Xia Feng's interest, Liu Chan quickly explained.
Xia Feng could understand such regulations; without them, Tianmen City would have been overwhelmed by the influx of people.
"This Feng Da Dian is quite interesting," Xia Feng remarked, showing his admiration for Feng Da Dian once more.
Liu Chan sighed, "If the entire Sacred Realm were like the Heavenly Gate Sect, it wouldn't be so cruel."
"Let's take some time to visit the Heavenly Gate Sect and meet Feng Da Dian. I've become somewhat interested in him," Xia Feng suddenly said.
Liu Chan didn't know why Xia Feng wanted to do this, but she wouldn't question it. She only needed to execute Xia Feng's commands.
"Yes, Young Master," Liu Chan replied.
