Only masters of great strength can levitate, and the energy it consumes is extraordinary.
However, for Gu Qingfeng, the energy cost of levitation was not too severe.
Soon after.
Gu Qingfeng had entered the prefecture.
At his descent from midair, he immediately drew the astonishment of many guards at the Prince Mansion, many instinctively drew their weapons and encircled Gu Qingfeng.
But it didn’t take long.
One guard recognized Gu Qingfeng’s identity and shouted with anger, "Put away your weapons, this is Martial Saint Mr. Gu, you must not be disrespectful!"
Speaking of which.
The guard took two steps in three speedy strides, bowing deeply in front of Gu Qingfeng.
"Subordinate Liu Feng, greets Mr. Gu!"
"Hmm."
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly.
He could see that Liu Feng’s cultivation was not weak; though not yet a Grandmaster, he was at least a high-level practitioner in the third realm of Refining Organ.
At this time.
Liu Feng, full of reverence, said, "Mr. Gu’s arrival will be reported to His Majesty immediately, please come inside and rest a while."
"Then I will trouble you."
"Mr. Gu is too courteous."

Liu Feng respectfully invited Gu Qingfeng into the grand hall, then promptly went to notify Gu Yang.
Before long.
Gu Yang hurried over.
"Father has come, why didn’t you inform me in advance so I could have made preparations?"
"What preparations do you need?"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyebrows rose slightly; his question caused Gu Yang to smile sheepishly.
It was supposed to be a mere pleasantry, but given Gu Qingfeng’s retort, Gu Yang did not know how to respond.
Immediately.
He smoothly changed the subject, sat down next to Gu Qingfeng, and then asked with curiosity, "Father, what brings you suddenly to the Prince Mansion?"
"I heard Li Niang is with child?"
Gu Qingfeng asked directly.
Gu Yang nodded, "Father, please wait a moment, I will have Li come over."
At once.
Gu Yang turned to give the order to a servant.
Soon after.
Zhong Li, dressed in a royal gown, made her way over with grace.
"Greetings to Father!"
"Have a seat."
Gu Qingfeng’s expression softened slightly, revealing a gentle smile, then his gaze fell on Zhong Li’s abdomen, where his keen perception could sense the stirrings of life.
Then.
Gu Qingfeng personally took Zhong Li’s pulse.
After a while.
His smile grew even brighter.
"Twins; how splendid, indeed splendid!"
Gu Qingfeng had not expected that not only was Zhong Li pregnant, but also with twins; the vitality within her pulse was not as simple as a single life.
Then.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Yang with some dissatisfaction.
"Knowing that Li Niang is carrying twins, why did the messenger not clarify this when reporting?"
Twins.
The signs were particularly evident.
Any martial artist with slightly advanced cultivation could detect it.
With many warriors under Gu Yang’s command, Gu Qingfeng did not believe that he could be unaware.
"It was meant to be a surprise for Father."
Gu Yang chuckled.
Gu Qingfeng said, "With Li Niang pregnant, she needs more care; do not take this lightly."
"Your son understands!"
Gu Yang’s expression became serious as he nodded, and then he hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Father, there is also a matter I’d like to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Recently, the Prince Mansion has been overwhelmed with affairs, and the Gu Family Manor has lacked attention. Thus, my position as manor master has become somewhat nominal.
So, I thought it might be best to return the position of manor master to Father, what do you think?"
Gu Yang revealed his thoughts.
This idea had been on his mind for a while.
When he first assumed the role of manor master of the Gu Family Manor, he did so hoping to leverage that status to expand his influence.
But plans do not always keep up with changes.
Gu Yang did not expect to advance so swiftly, consolidating power to such an extent that he even declared himself a king.
In this light.
The position of manor master of the Gu Family Manor became optional.
Still, the Gu Family Manor was the family’s lifeblood; Gu Yang indeed wished for its revival, but now as Guangyang Prince, he had too many responsibilities and lacked the bandwidth to manage the affairs of the Gu Family Manor.
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "If you’ve decided, then your father has no objections."
The position of manor master.
If Gu Yang did not want it, then it would return to him.
Following this.
Gu Qingfeng handed several bottles of elixirs to Gu Yang.
"These are Marrow Cleansing Pills; when you break through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, you can take these to temper your foundational strength."
"Thank you, Father!"
Gu Yang’s face brightened.
He was well aware of the miraculous effects of the elixirs from Gu Qingfeng’s hands.
Although consuming such elixirs might not lead to a breakthrough like the secret medicines of the Divine Martial Sect, they would still solidify a martial artist’s foundation and constitution, offering a stronger base.
Strictly speaking.
This kind of elixir was much stronger than the secret medicines of the Divine Martial Sect.
After all, with a sufficiently solid foundation, one could go further in the future.
Not to mention.
A strong foundation.
It would also allow the martial artist to possess greater strength within the same realm.
Gu Yang was already at Bone Refining Perfection, yet he was capable of defeating warriors in the Refining Organ Realm, thanks to his mastery of Grandmaster True Intent, and one must not overlook his own robust foundation.
After giving the Marrow Cleansing Pills to Gu Yang, Gu Qingfeng did not linger too long in the mansion, and soon floated away.
Subsequently.
The news that Gu Yang had stepped down as manor master and the old master, Gu Qingfeng, had retaken control of the Gu Family Manor quickly spread.
