Xiao Tian controlled his Dou Qi, carving several elegant, dragon-and-phoenix-like characters onto the plaques of the two palaces.
The two plaques were for the Black-Corner Region and the Northern Region of Central State, respectively.
That was right—one of these palaces was the previous Teleportation Palace, and the newly constructed one was being prepared to set up a connection to Tianbei City.
Currently, there were only two designated check-ins available; one was used for the Black-Corner Region, leaving only one now.
When this portal was not connected and activated, it resembled a stone door engraved with numerous strange and bizarre patterns.
According to Xiao Tian's guess, these runes should be a type of spatial rune, but Xiao Tian had observed them for a long time and ultimately concluded that they were not from this world, and Dou Qi could not be used as a medium for carving them.
Xiao Tian walked into the palace, came to a large platform at the center-rear, and flung the stone door out from his Yellow Spring Ring.
"Boom!"
The massive stone door emitted a loud bang, causing the entire palace to shake slightly, and it perfectly slotted into the reserved space.
Xiao Tian took out a sound transmission stone and sent a message to Hai Bodong, asking him to arrange for the guards on duty today to come and watch over it.
The Teleportation Palace always had personnel stationed there daily to prevent emergencies, and all guards had soul imprints.
After Xiao Tian finished everything here, his figure gradually dissipated, and the next moment he appeared in Tianbei City.
He headed towards the Han Family's direction, activating Void Piercer Art, and after a few steps, he arrived inside the Han Family, so quickly that the guards outside the gate did not even realize someone had passed by them.
Void Piercer Art could be described as a conceptual skill; if cultivated to a high level, it would truly embody the saying, "Kill a man in ten steps, leave no trace a thousand miles away."
It was an essential skill for murder and arson; by the time you finished shouting, "Do not let him get away!", you would not even see the tail lights.
Xiao Tian sensed that only Han Chi was in the main hall; Han Yue and Han Xue were not present.
With a single stride, he instantly appeared before Han Chi, startling him.
"My son-in-law, you appear and disappear like a ghost; if my heart was not strong, I would probably be scared to death." Han Chi helplessly controlled his Dou Qi to dry his clothes, which had been splashed with tea.
"Father-in-law, from my observation, your health is excellent; you could even marry more beautiful wives and concubines without any problem."
Xiao Tian also teased Han Chi.
"No, I am fine alone." Han Chi naturally had no such thoughts; ever since his wife passed away, he had no desire to like anyone else.
However, he added a silent thought: What if I have another daughter in the future? Who knows if you will sweep them all away.
Ever since Han Xue was rescued by Xiao Tian, Han Chi knew that his daughter had fallen for Xiao Tian.
After all, he had saved her life, and Xiao Tian's appearance was peerless; it was estimated that if one scoured the entire continent, they would not find anyone whose appearance could rival Xiao Tian's.
Furthermore, the other party was incredibly approachable despite his immense wealth, and his talent was top-tier; even the successors of those top-tier forces paled in comparison to him.
Even Miss Feng, Thunder Venerable's legendary disciple from the Wind and Thunder Eastern Pavilion.
Although no specific cultivation level was revealed, it could be roughly inferred from rumors that she definitely had not broken through to Dou Zong; if she had, with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's style, they would surely extensively publicize it, using the opportunity to overshadow the other three pavilions and attract fresh blood from other regions.
"My son-in-law, you have come at a good time; the palace for the teleportation has been prepared. Shall we go see if the location is suitable now?"
Seeing Xiao Tian nod, Han Chi led him to the chosen location for the teleportation gate.
Along the way, the Han Family guards, maids, and even family members respectfully greeted Xiao Tian as "son-in-law."

Outside Han Xue's courtyard, one of Han Xue's personal maids quickly walked towards Han Xue's boudoir.
She reached out and knocked on the door, respectfully saying, "First Miss, Miss, the son-in-law has arrived."
"What?" A high-pitched voice came from inside the room.
"Yue'er, why are you so excited?" Han Yue looked at Han Xue, who had sprung up from the bed like a spring, her forehead covered in black lines.
"Has he come here?" Han Xue asked excitedly, then prepared to pick up the outfit she had chosen earlier to put on, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt that this outfit was not that good-looking.
This was typical female thinking: choosing an outfit at night, only to wake up in the morning and feel it was not so good-looking after all, deciding to choose again, then looking at a closet full of clothes and saying she had nothing to wear.
"No, Miss, the son-in-law has already left with the Family Head; I do not know where they went," the maid outside the door replied.
Han Xue breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao E, you may go down first." After Han Xue finished speaking, she went to the wardrobe and began to choose her clothes.
Upon hearing this, the maid outside the door turned and retreated.
Han Yue also got out of bed and came to Han Xue's side, gently tapping Han Xue's forehead. "It is my man who came; why are you so excited?"
Han Xue's hand holding the clothes instantly stiffened; she seemed to have indeed overlooked Han Yue being by her side just now. She secretly thought, Oh no, I am in trouble!
Her brain began to operate at high speed, absolutely the fastest it had ever run since she was born.
"It is not that I heard he arrived, and we, as the hosts, should naturally go to greet him, right? Otherwise, what if people say we are impolite? Do you not agree, Sis~~"
Han Xue even leaned directly against Han Yue, acting coquettishly, but as she rubbed against her, she discovered a problem.
"Sis, why have you developed so much here? It is at least twice as big as before." Han Xue glanced at herself, then weighed Han Yue's, and instantly had the feeling of waking up from a dream, realizing the clown was herself.
Hearing Han Xue's words, Han Yue's cheeks flushed; how could she say such a thing aloud? "You will know in the future."
Han Xue looked at Han Yue suspiciously. "Did you secretly eat something these past few years? Otherwise, we have the same mother, so why is there such a big difference?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yue seemed to recall something, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
She quickly dismissed her thoughts, cursing inwardly—it must be Xiao Tian, that scoundrel, who had infected her with his dirty thoughts.
Xiao Tian, walking with Han Chi on the road, inexplicably felt a sourness in his nose, secretly thinking, Is someone thinking of me? Is it Shuiwa Medusa? Or the legal loli Little Zi Yan? Or is it…?
"My son-in-law, what is wrong?" Han Chi asked, seeing Xiao Tian's expression.
"Nothing, I just remembered something."
"Is it something important?"
Xiao Tian shook his head, and Han Chi, seeing this, did not press further but continued to lead the way.
