Drunken Lotus: Fated With The Rogue Hidden Dragon.

Unsealed, Unexpected Reveal (1st)

After Fan Song Xue came out, he was greeted by his two sons along with two of his grandchildren, one of which is his new granddaughter. 

When his younger son; Fan Hui Liang left with his eldest grandson; Li Jie, the only ones that were left behind were his son; Hui Zhong and granddaughter; Zhu Xia. 

With a fond smile at his new granddaughter, Fan Song Xue then sent a look towards his son them said, "Zhong'er did anything happen during my closed-door cultivation?" 

"About that, how about you let this son of yours bring you up to date? Neither Liang'er nor I were really able to talk to you about what's been going on before you went into seclusion." 

"Ah, yes yes... I was in a hurry at the time. Let's go inside my study here then."

With a nod, Fan Hui Zhong took a step to follow when Fan Song Xue suddenly stopped and turned to look at Fan Zhu Xia who was just about to leave to go back to her room. 

"Little Xia, where are you going?" 

"Sorry Grandpa, I was just going back to my room while you and Father talk." 

"Nonsense! You come with us, there are also things that Grandpa wants to talk to you about." 

A bit surprised to hear that, Fan Zhu Xia could only nod as she replied, "Oh, alright then." 

Without further ado, both father and daughter silently followed the old patriarch and was led into a comfortably-sized room with a desk, a couple of bookshelves and a table with a couple of seats. 

"Alright, now tell me Zhong'er, what have I missed?" Fan Song Xue asked. 

"You didn't really miss a lot during your secluded cultivation since this past couple of days, Liang'er and I were all focused on our family and consolidating our power. The biggest news that happened is probably the fact that I received an imperial edict that allowed me to build up and expand my own army."

"Build up your army? What exactly does that entail?" 

"Well first of all, I can only accomplish this if I return and actually stay here and fulfill my role as the Lei Wangye since this gives me the right as an honorary member of the imperial family. Aside from this development, I was also given all the plots of land surrounding Dark Flames Mountain so me and Liang'er decided to move Fan Estate to the eastern side of the mountain, that way, the estate's entrance will be nearer to the district housing other military families while the Lei Palace is currently being constructed on the western side so that it'll be closer to the imperial palace."

"Mmhm, I understand... Anything else?" 

"The current Fan Estate which will shortly e vacated once the move is done, Liang'er left the decision on what to do with it to me." 

"As he should since you exchanged one of the properties bestowed upon you by His Majesty with him... Tell me Zhong'er, what are your plans for this?" 

"I'm planning on leaving it for my daughter so that she has room to grow on her own." 

Upon hearing that, Fan Song Xue's brows raised slightly as he shot Fan Zhu Xia an inquiring look. 

"Grow on your own?" 

With a small smile, Fan Zhu Xia replied and said, "Yes, Grandpa. Xia'er wanted to train and raise her own people. Father already agreed and I also wanted to help nurture some talents that could be useful for everyone too."
