You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Tianmu Square adjoined the main road of Jinghong Street and was one of the three hundred and sixty squares in Di Hong City.

In just half a month, the vast Tianmu Square had been completely reconstructed from the abandoned Duanmu family residence into an even larger mansion.

Many residents living nearby had witnessed cultivators gathering there, casting various spells, and within just one night, they had erected a massive high wall that extended for tens of miles around.

Over the next half-month, more cultivators had delivered artificial mountains, jade walls, and even large patches of grass and woodlands.

People who were well-informed did not find this surprising; after all, what was it for the Prince Mansion to employ a group of cultivators for hard labor?

"It's quite fast, today is only the third day of February, and it was built in half a month."

Lin Yue stood in front of the grand copper doors of his own Prince Mansion, which resembled city gates, and exclaimed, "The Prince Mansion is indeed built like a city."

The nearby official from the residence said respectfully, "Your Highness's residence naturally should adhere to the highest standards. The half-month period was mainly spent on adjusting and arranging the finer details of the residence. The actual construction took only three days, transplanting and cultivating various plants, and changing the waterways of the lakes and ponds within the residence took the most time."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and asked, "Is the residence completely finished?"

The official from the residence replied respectfully, "Yes. The servants responsible for miscellaneous tasks within Your Highness's residence are also basically in place, all of them are the best maidens from the Palace Maid Bureau, originally scheduled to enter the palace after the spring begins. We brought them here earlier considering the needs of Your Highness's residence. If they are not enough, you can simply instruct the Palace Maid Bureau."

Lin Yue hummed, stating, "There aren't many people in the mansion, so we don't need too many servants for the time being."

Although he still retained the memories of a modern person, the world was different, as were the rules and customs, so he naturally wouldn't insist on pursuing equality for everyone.

"Moreover, the Palace Maid Bureau has specially sent thirty-six Eighth Grade maidens who have overcome the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, and three Fifth Grade maidens who have overcome the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier."

The official from the residence continued, "Although these maidens are not qualified to serve by Your Highness's side, those three Fifth Grade maidens are sufficient to attend Your Highness's spouse, or Your Highness could bestow them to future valued Guest Elders."

"Good." Lin Yue nodded slightly.

Like their masters, the maidens responsible for the servants needed some cultivation level to facilitate their tasks.

"Now, Your Highness's residence only lacks the setting up of an Array."

The residence official said respectfully, "However, that would require Your Highness to invite someone personally. It would be best if you could invite an Array Master."

Lin Yue smiled but did not say anything.

After the residence official left, he stepped over the high threshold with Baili Fengzhi and entered his Prince Mansion.

Upon entering the front courtyard—

"Welcome, Seventeenth Prince."

In the vast and-empty courtyard, thousands of people were waiting silently. Seeing him enter, the three leading blue-robed maidens immediately spoke in unison, kneeling down.

Soon, the thousands of people behind them also knelt down.

"Rise, everyone."

Lin Yue shook his head and asked, "Was it necessary to wait here for me? Are all the people of the mansion here?"

After the three blue-robed maidens got up, one of them immediately replied respectfully, "Your Highness, all the servants of the mansion are here. After today, if there's no need, it's rare for most servants to come out, which is why everyone was summoned today."

Lin Yue realized.

Indeed, most of the servants were just mortals, and since the Prince Mansion covered an area of tens of miles, resembling a vast city, it would take mortals possibly one to two hours to walk across the Prince Mansion at its widest.

Not to mention, after establishing the Array Barrier in the future, the various areas inside the mansion would definitely be segmented, and without sufficient authority, they would not be able to move freely.

This was similar to the situation at Duke Heng's residence; most servants might spend their remaining lives within the bounds of a courtyard in the residence before returning to their hometowns.

...

After dismissing the servants, Lin Yue and Baili Fengzhi started strolling around the mansion.

Activating the Wind Element, with every step covering more than a dozen Zhang, the walk was quite fast.

In terms of area, his Prince Mansion was significantly larger than Duke Heng's residence. Though it lacked the depth and grandeur of Duke Heng's residence, it was designed more elegantly, with every step revealing a scenic view, every corner like a painting, clearly well-designed throughout.

It was just rather deserted, with almost no one else apart from the servants.

"With such a large mansion yet so few residents, it seems somewhat wasteful," Lin Yue remarked.

Baili Fengzhi spoke softly, "No worries, once Your Highness's residence has the Array set up and the news that this Residence Array is actually the Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array is spread, given Your Highness's reputation, you will surely attract a large number of Guest Elders."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, looked at her, and asked with a smile, "Do you need a separate courtyard for yourself?"

Baili Fengzhi was taken aback and replied, "I am Your Highness's Guard, even if Your Highness is in seclusion, I must stand guard outside Your Highness's door, what use do I have for a courtyard?"

Lin Yue laughed and said, "Once the Array is completed, it should be very safe in this Prince Mansion. You might want some free time, and you need to cultivate, right?"

Baili Fengzhi thought for a moment and said, "Even if Your Highness controls the Residence Array, it takes a moment to mobilize its power. If thieves attacked suddenly, we might not be able to respond in time. As for cultivation..."
