Chapter 759: Chapter 468: Ten Thousand People Shout Together! (Must See)
After a long ti apart, Chen Yuan had much to discuss with Lady Xu.
Having experienced many things, he had co to understand a rather simple truth.
Sotis, what stabs you in the back is not necessarily a knife, and what you carry on your shoulders is not necessarily responsibility!
Lady Xu… was very agreeable.
Compared to before, she was even more to Chen Yuan’s liking.
After a heartfelt exchange, Lady Xu asked about what happened to Chen Yuan in the Capital. Although she had heard about many issues, hearing was not as accurate as getting the information from Chen Yuan himself, the person involved.
Moreover, because the distance was too great, there were so things she simply did not know about, such as the significant disturbance Chen Yuan and Princess Pingyang had caused.
Chen Yuan let out a long breath. At this mont, he was without desires and wishes.
Mad as a demon before an event, saintly as a Buddha afterward, isn’t that the way it is?
Endowing the Emperor Slaughter Saber entrusted to him by his senior Moluo, Chen Yuan placed it in the Heavenly Patrol Hall. Although he believed in Moluo’s character not to peek, these kinds of things could still lead to awkwardness just by being next to it.
He wasn’t yet ready to play the teacher.
Also, he had carved a concealing Formation around to prevent prying eyes…
Chen Yuan lay on Lady Xu’s body, telling her about everything that had happened since he left Qingzhou, all in detail, of course, except for matters that were ant to be kept secret.
But there was still much he could say.
Like how he ‘coincidentally’ encountered the remnants of his old enemies and casually finished them off.
Like how due to a minor matter, he ‘accidentally’ made an enemy of the current Prince and personally crippled his uncle.
Like how he had beco famous in one battle after being ordered to break through the Suru Illusion Realm set up by a Japan Martial Artist.
Like how he was now the titled Lord Wuwei!
These stories were filled with legendary intrigue, captivating Lady Xu as well as worrying her about the dangers Chen Yuan faced. She wished he wouldn’t push himself so hard.
One should always prioritize one’s life above all else.
Chen Yuan held Lady Xu’s hand with a very solemn expression and said,
“In this world today, how can you gain power and status without striving? If you don’t strive…how can you beco a superior person?”
After listening, Lady Xu fell silent, her grip on Chen Yuan’s hand growing tighter.
As a woman, there wasn’t much she could do, except to help him manage the affairs of Tangshan Prefecture properly, so that even if sothing went wrong in the future, here,
he would still have hundreds of thousands of Tangshan citizens and thousands of subordinates following him.
In the midst of their conversation, Lady Xu asked Chen Yuan if he wanted a child, a real one.
Chen Yuan did not answer.
Thinking she had offended Chen Yuan, Lady Xu quickly changed the topic, but she didn’t know that Chen Yuan wasn’t upset. After all, what was there to be upset about?
He rely hesitated, as he had never considered this matter before.
He was too dangerous now, with too many strong enemies, making a child nothing but a liability, and he was soone who didn’t wish to be constrained, relying only on his own strength.
Lady Xu shifted the topic to an interesting matter—she spoke of Shen Yanshu.
She said that Shen Yanshu had secretly visited once before and t with Lady Xu.
Chen Yuan, regaining his focus, looked curiously at Lady Xu and asked,
“What did you talk about when you t?”
Lady Xu smiled,
“The citizens of Tangshan Prefecture say that Chen Qing Envoy’s judgnt is like that of a god, omniscient and omnipotent. So… can’t you guess?”
Chen Yuan also laughed and said lightly,
“What Miss Shen spoke of was nothing more than her past with , while her questions…were about the history between you and .”
“How…how did you know?”
“You also said that I am like a god in my judgnt, omniscient. Is it so difficult to know this?” Chen Yuan replied.
This was hardly a difficult matter as Shen Yanshu and Lady Xu had not known each other before. What could they have talked about? Could they have beco as close as sisters after such a brief encounter?
They must have shared and inquired about their pasts with Chen Yuan.
“As expected of Chen Qing Envoy, truly extraordinary. I only hope that you won’t need to lean on the wall to leave tomorrow,” Lady Xu humd lightly.
Chen Yuan chuckled,
“Then you better be able to get up tomorrow.”
“Who’s afraid of who, co on?”
“Co on!”
…
…
Next day, early morning.
A pale hand grabbed the room door, Chen Yuan calmly stepped out, let out a breath, reminiscing about last night. He slowly shook his head, rubbed his waist and turned back to look at the person still deep in sleep.
He snorted with laughter and strode away.
After breakfast, Chen Yuan went to the back garden. At this mont, Ouyang Zhi had been waiting there for a long ti. Seeing Chen Yuan approaching, he quickly bowed,
“Son pays respect to father.”
“Hmm, sit.”
Seeing Chen Yuan’s composed deanor, Ouyang Zhi’s brow flickered with confusion. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, with the mother’s long-neglected body not being able to affect Chen Qing Envoy?
Could it be that Chen Qing Envoy is not ordinary?
“What are you thinking about?” Chen Yuan asked offhandedly.
“Nothing much, just curious about why father has summoned here alone,” Ouyang Zhi quickly collected his thoughts and replied with a sycophantic smile.
With a wave of his sleeve, a tea set suddenly appeared on the table, with steam rising from it.
“Try it.”
“As you command, Father.”
“How is it?”
“The tea’s fragrance is captivating, a rarity in this world,” Ouyang Zhi comnted.
Chen Yuan looked deeply at the very congenial Ouyang Zhi, still recalling his previously willful and untad appearance, so similar to the Fourth Prince, Sima Ke.
Hmm…
Why would he think of him?
“I called you here today for no major reason, just for a casual chat. Since the incident in Hidden Soldier Valley, we’ve seen each other but haven’t had a proper talk. Since Chen happens to be resting here for a day or two, let’s have a chat,” Chen Yuan said.
