Chapter 1671: Chapter 35: As If a Lifeti Ago
“Where has Jiang Wang gone?” Lin Youxie suddenly asked.
Zheng Shangming, who was reciting the Emperor’s rewards, was taken aback: “Huh?”
“I asked, do you know where Jiang Wang has gone?”
Zheng Shangming pressed his lips together and said, “He has left Qi Country.”
So, they all fell silent.
…
…
An intense battle had just ended.
The result of the battle was victory.
In the Taixu Illusion Realm, the young man nad Ling Yue furrowed his attractive brows, feeling quite dissatisfied with himself.
Though he won, it wasn’t with ease.
His current ranking was rely fifth within the Taixu Illusion Realm Inner Mansion. Holding steady in the top ten is a hurdle. Staying in the top five is another hurdle. But to secure the top spot in Taixu, one must surpass others by quite a margin.
Having just barely entered the top five, he already felt an imnse resistance. So had long secured the top position in the Taixu Inner Mansion, overlooking the masses. Now, they were even progressing towards the top of the Taixu Outer Building…
Of course, there were so objective reasons for this, such as the rapid expansion of the Taixu Illusion Realm, more and more cultivators joining in, and the ergence of strong competitors, making the competition for rankings within the Inner Mansion increasingly fierce…
But he was not soone who made excuses for himself.
Especially since for so, being first was not just within the current world but among the geniuses of various countries, even tracing back through history, recorded as the first.
He had no excuses to make.
The more Young Master Ling Yue thought about it, the more dissatisfied he beca. Just as he was about to fight a few more rounds, he glanced and saw a familiar paper crane fluttering towards him.
“Humph.”
He snorted coldly and was about to stand on the Discussion Platform, intending to ignore it as he did before.
But after a mont’s thought, he decided there was no need to be petty.
Oh well, let’s see what nonsense so people are spewing.
And so he stepped down from the Discussion Platform, reached out, and caught the paper crane.
Unfolding the letter, he saw the words written:
“Brother Shu, do not worry, the matters of Qi Country are settled. I have already drawn my sword and co east. I will certainly teach you to be number one in the Mountain and Sea Realm!”
“What nonsense is this!” Zuo Guangshu curled his lips and muttered, “The Mountain and Sea Realm isn’t a place for vying for rankings!”
Holding this letter, he paused for a while, then gave a cold snort, and wrote on a new sheet: “The quota for the Mountain and Sea Realm is extrely precious. You previously said you wouldn’t co, I had long since promised…”
Stopping mid-sentence, he erased the words with his hand and wrote again: “There’s no need for you to co. Don’t think you’re invincible in the world…”
The pen paused over the words “invincible,” and suddenly he felt his words lacked convincing power. Then he rembered that Jiang Qingyang was not as awful as he thought; he really had matters to attend to before.
Oh well.
He sighed, erased all those previous words, and generously wrote: “If you really want to participate, I can help you think of a way.”
Finished writing, he sent the paper crane flying away.
The Discussion Platform still hovered not far away, but at this mont, Zuo Guangshu had lost the mood to hone his combat skills.
In the blink of an eye, he coldly withdrew from the Taixu Illusion Realm.
The servants of the Duke of the Great Chu Huai State rely saw their own handso young master, draped in a water-blue robe, dashing in the mansion: “Grandfather! Grandfather! Grandfather!”
The elderly Duke thought sothing was wrong and stepped out of his study, concernedly asking, “What is it?”
“Change the person!” Zuo Guangshu said decisively.
…
…
Jiang Wang left Linzi alone, without looking back.
He only stopped for half a day in Green sheep town, checked the situation of the fief, gave so pointers on Dugu Xiao’s cultivation, advised her to be extra careful during this ti, and then continued west.
The Son of Heaven had already made a promise, and how things would be handled next depended entirely on Heaven’s will.
He had done all he could do; now, it was ti to quickly retreat to avoid drawing so people’s attention.
After all, the Queen had sat in the position of the master of the harem for so many years, and if she truly beca angry and bore murderous intent, how many in the court could withstand it?
He only heard when he was leaving that the Crown Prince had achieved God Arrives, officially surpassing his lifespan limit, from then on possessing a Golden Fra and Jade Marrow, suprely noble. According to protocol, the ministers would congratulate him with national gifts…
The Crown Prince had long been able to achieve God Arrives but had delayed repeatedly, which shows his stability. But at this ti, he chose to achieve God Arrives,
What does this imply?
It suggests that when Jiang Wang went to De Lu Palace to et the Son of Heaven, the Crown Prince was also nervous. Or rather, the Crown Prince deliberately showed this nervousness — which in no way ans that he now knows the truth of that past incident.
On the surface, the Crown Prince’s choice to achieve God Arrives now is to urgently add chips to confront any upcoming political storm.
But in reality, he did not choose to distance himself, did not show total ignorance of the past incident, so this chip, in fact, is added for the Queen!
What fault can there be in a Crown Prince who has never erred for many years and now has addressed even his cultivation shortcomings?
This is taking responsibility for his mother.
An Eastern Palace Crown Prince who has broken the lifespan limit is already qualified to provide support to the reigning Queen…
Yet this may be exactly what the Son of Heaven intends to press upon.
How the Son of Heaven will scold the Crown Prince, Jiang Wang naturally cannot know. But it is evident that he has severely offended the Crown Prince this ti.
Rather than staying in Linzi waiting for trouble to co, it’s better to make a quick escape while the Son of Heaven is handling old affairs and the courts are hushed in fear. anwhile, he can fulfill an earlier agreent with Zuo Guangshu, et the heroes of Chu Territory, and visit the Mountain and Sea Realm to experience the true charisma of Huang Weizhen.
