Chapter 756: Chapter 467: Lady, May I Co In? (Fan Nickna)
Having left Nanling Prefecture, Chen Yuan’s speed suddenly picked up because there wasn’t much else to grab his attention on the way. Now, he wanted to see how Tangshan Prefecture was doing these days.
Two months is neither long nor short, but it’s not too brief either.
It’s enough ti for a state prefecture to undergo changes.
In front of Tangshan Prefecture City.
Chen Yuan, dressed in a long green robe with his hair tied back, exposed a very unfamiliar face—it was the Human Skin Mask.
He wanted to take this opportunity to have a good look at the changes in Tangshan Prefecture.
Compared to before, Chen Yuan could notice at a glance that the flow of people in Tangshan Prefecture City had increased by no small margin. It didn’t double, but it had increased by at least one third.
That’s why he could see such an obvious change at a glance.
After going through an identity check with the guards at the gate, Chen Yuan officially returned to Tangshan Prefecture, a place he hadn’t seen for two long months, his gaze continuously sweeping around him.
Apart from the significant increase in the number of civilians, the quantity and quality of Martial Artists had also increased dramatically.
At least, after walking for a quarter of an hour, seeing Gang Condensing Martial Artists was no longer a rarity; it had beco rather common, and the surrounding people weren’t surprised by it.
After finding a rather mixed tavern for a al, Chen Yuan understood the source of the changes.
Thanks to Tangshan’s advantageous geographical location, and the efforts of people like Han Yu and Du Ming, many Martial Artists and rchant caravans were attracted to pass through here, showing signs of growing prosperity.
Although there was still a significant distance from Qingzhou City, compared to other states, there was a not-so-subtle gap erging, and this was just two months of change.
Sitting in the tavern, between bites of his al, Chen Yuan had already spotted several patrols of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, ard and vigilant, as if it were the norm.
He’s doing quite well.
That was Chen Yuan’s initial assessnt.
After finishing his al, Chen Yuan left the tavern and began to stroll around within Tangshan Prefecture City. As he road, he paused in front of a storytelling stall.
Because the storyteller was narrating Chen Yuan’s own deeds!
“Ladies and gentlen, if we talk about why our Tangshan has undergone such great changes, it all depends on one person. It is he who swept away all the maladies of Tangshan Prefecture,
and gave the civilians a foundation for survival.”
“It is he who single-handedly created the current official scene in Tangshan, whether it’s the current Green Envoy Han Yu Han or Magistrate Liu Zhengsong Liu, all were promoted by his hand.
It is said that before he left, he warned Han and Liu to always treat the civilians kindly!”
“Speaking of which, I’m sure you all know who I am talking about, right?” the storyteller looked around as he asked.
And as soon as his words fell, nurous responses rang out.
“Old Li, you tell us every day, we couldn’t ignore it even if we wanted to.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“Do you need to tell us this? Don’t we already know that these are the achievents of Chen, the Green Envoy?”
“We’re practically sick of hearing this. If you ask , you should quickly talk about the great things Chen, the Green Envoy, did in the Capital instead.”
The storyteller laughed heartily and with a clap of the gavel he announced loudly, “Well, then I shall tell you about the deeds of Chen, the Green Envoy, in the Capital who fought fiercely in all directions.”
“Talk of the eighth year of Jingtai, in November, when Japan Martial Artists ca to the Capital with ill intentions, wishing to set up a contest to defeat the spirit of the Central Plains Martial Artists….”
Chen Yuan listened intently to the storyteller’s narration.
Admittedly, it was quite interesting.
The only thing he found strange was, the story was a bit too exaggerated; it practically portrayed him as a great hero who saved the Central Plains and made the Emperor want to bestow marriage upon him and take him as a son-in-law.
And that was just one part of it. What truly surprised him was that the storyteller also involved him in the big commotion during the Royal Family’s ancestral worship, claiming that if it weren’t for Chen, the Green Envoy, taking control of the situation,
those Demon Dao powerhouses who caused the chaos in the Imperial City would have killed the Emperor!
Chen Yuan was left speechless.
He had only played a very minor role in that battle, and here the story made it sound so terrifying…
Indeed, the more a story is told, the more it gets exaggerated.
“Your reputation in Tangshan is really big.”
Suddenly, just as Chen Yuan’s spirit was engrossed in the storytelling, Moluo’s voice quietly erged near his ear.
Chen Yuan was startled and promptly asked,
“Senior, have you awakened?”
“Hmm, I was startled awake.”
“What do you an? Are there strong adversaries lurking around?” Chen Yuan was suddenly shocked when he heard that Moluo was startled awake, and he blurted out the question.
“No, it was the contents of your Heavenly Book that woke up.”
“????”
“There’s the Power of All Living Beings’ Mind Power gathering towards you.”
“What?”
Chen Yuan’s pupils shrank, and without waiting for confirmation, he rapidly disappeared from the place. When he reappeared, he was already on the rooftop of a tall building in Tangshan Prefecture City.
Then, he took out the damaged Civilian Umbrella.
Apart from this, he couldn’t think of anything else he had that could influence the Power of All Living Beings.
“Is it this object that the master ntioned?”
“Precisely.”
“This is called the Civilian Umbrella, and originally….”
Chen Yuan quickly recounted the events that had happened before.
“Benefactor shows compassion.”
Moluo said in a deep voice.
“I dare not accept such praise; it was rely a spur-of-the-mont action.”
“To have that kind of intention already proves that you do have kindness in your heart, focus not on the deeds but on the spirit, for if judged by the spirit, no one is a saint,” Moluo’s soft voice echoed in Chen Yuan’s ear.
Chen Yuan quite agreed with this sentint.
If one were truly judged by the spirit, perhaps nobody could be considered a good person.
Who can claim they’ve never had a malevolent thought?
“Senior, what do you an by the convergence of All Living Beings’ Mind Power?” Chen Yuan swiftly changed the subject and asked.
