Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Prince Ye An of Prince Ping’an
J inzhou City.
Since the death of Wu Chang, Jinzhou City seemed to have returned to its previous tranquility. Li Maolin breathed a sigh of relief, as his time to leave this place was getting closer, and it was best for Jinzhou City to have no troubles during his tenure.
During this time, Liang Ying became even more low-key. Because of Wu Chang’s death, rhe balance between the Liang and Wu Families supported by the County Government Office was broken. Li Maolin even found several reasons to find fault with Liang Ying, but he could only swallow his anger.
Seeing this, Li Maolin had no choice but to let it go. In fact, Li Maolin also understood that people like Liang Ying were the most dangerous, as they could endure great humiliation and eventually achieve great things.
But when he thought that his departure from the city and his promotion to the capital was not far away, and he would probably never see Liang Ying again, Li Maolin decided to make peace with him for the time being.
Seeing this, Liang Ying naturally welcomed the situation. All he was doing now was to create a favorable environment for the Liang Family’s younger generation, so they could have more time to grow.
For a time, the whole Jinzhou City became completely peaceful. Liang Sheng was extremely satisfied with this situation as no one would disturb his life of wealth and luxury.
At this moment in Yichun Building, he lay in rhe arms of a beautiful woman, while another beauty picked grapes and put them into his mouth, malting him feel extremely comfortable.
In the next room, there were young masters calling friends and having fun, making the situation very lively. “They are all young people, ah, it’s great to be young.*’
This sentence made the beautiful woman beside him chuckle secretly, as she coquet tishly said, “My lord, you are younger and stronger than them.11
As she spoke, her hand was already drawing circles on Liang Sheng s chest. Liang Sheng could not stand it any longer and enjoyed a night of passion.
This kind of life was truly worthwhile.
These peaceful days lasted for three years.
On this day, Liang Sheng did not go to Yichun Building again. It was not because he was tired of it, but because he felt that his breakthrough in the Health Cultivation Method was imminent.
This was the foundation of Liang Sheng’s life, and he could not neglect it. In order to break through to the Nine Levels of the Postnatal Realm, he could retreat to a small town for ten years, let alone now?
However, Liang Sheng faintly felt that this breakthrough would not be ordinary. Of course, he did not doubt his intuition. After thinking about it, he decided to purchase some dry food and ingredients, and directly entered the forest outside the city.
For the next ten days, Liang Sheng closed himself off in the forest for cultivation. Unexpectedly, during this time, there was suddenly a great commotion in Jinzhou City.
Early this morning, before Liang Ying had even left to attend his duties, he was urgently summoned to the County Government Office by Li Maolin’s men.
“County Lord.”‘
As Liang Ying looked at the officials who had gathered in the County Government Office, he noticed that Chen Shiqiang and his men were almost fully armed, and his heart could not help but feel shocked.
“Now that Lord Liang is here, everyone is present. Everyone, please follow me to the city gate to welcome the Prince. I hope you will not disappoint him with your etiquette.”‘
After saying this, Li Maolin did not wait for an explanation and took the lead in leaving the County Government Office, with the others naturally following him. Liang Ying was slightly surprised in his heart.
A Prince? Which Prince? Why had he not received any previous information about this?
Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the curtain in front of him with blank eyes. However, a moment later, a flash of light appeared in his eyes. As long as it did not involve the Liang Family, it did not matter who the Prince was.
In the past six months, with the help of the cultivation resources accumulated by the Wu Family for hundreds of years, Liang Ying had spared no expense to use them on the younger generation of the Liang Family. This had already started to show remarkable results.
A sixteen-year-old member of the Liang Family had already advanced to the Postnatal Fourfold Realm, which was on par with Liang Ying’s own achievements at that age, if not even better.
Of course, if it had not been for Xia Zhiqiu’s schemes and rhe entanglements of the secular world, Liang Ying would not have been trapped in the Post-Natal “Eighth”‘ Level for such a long time. He would have progressed much further in his martial arts cultivation.
However, it was undeniable that breaking through a martial arts bottleneck was extremely difficult. Even if Liang Ying had wholeheartedly devoted himself to cultivation, he would have had only a 60% or 70% chance of achieving a breakthrough. And now…
Heh.
Since the Liang Family already had successors with great potential, Liang Ying decided that he would do everything in his power to protect them, even if it cost him his life. He hoped that the Liang Family would produce another strong practitioner at the Nine Levels of the Postnatal Realm]
Thinking of this, Liang Ying could not help but look forward to the future. By then, the entire Jinzhou City would only have the Liang Family as its Martial Arts family, and the Liang Family would have complete control over the underground order.
Liang Ying struggled to calm his excited emotions, and at this time, they had already arrived at the city gate. After Li Maolin got out of the sedan, he stood at the entrance, his expression excited as he looked into the distance, as if the Prince would appear in the next moment.
They didn’t have to wait long before the sound of horse hooves rang out, and a cloud of dust rose on the distant horizon. Before long, they saw the full picture. Dragon Suppression Guard!
At this moment, Liang Ying’s heart tightened. It was indeed the Dragon Suppression Guard clearing the way and escorting a huge horse carriage that appeared before his eyes.
He could see the four words written beside the carriage: Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion! No wonder Li Maolin was so excited.
By then, Li Maolin had already put on a flattering face to welcome the guests. As the carriage stopped, a handsome young man with a graceful manner stepped down.
Dressed in white silk brocade clothes, with a jade pendant at his waist, his gestures and demeanor revealed the style of a noble family; a faint smile at the corner of his mouth made people feel a warm spring breeze.
It’s him!
Prince Ye An, the son of the Prince of Ping’an!
Liang Ying immediately remembered rhe little novice monk who had been taken away by Princess Ping’an thirteen years ago. These two figures gradually merged together, but now the demeanor of this Prince showed no hint of his previous identity as a novice monk.
“County Lord Li Maolin of Jinzhou City pays his respects to his Highness, the Prince.”
Li Maolin fell to his knees like a jade pillar, and Liang Ying and the others hurriedly knelr down, touching their heads to the ground. After that, they heard the Prince’s voice.
“Everyone, please stand up. This time 1 am returning to my hometown without any official business. There is no need for such formality.”
Ye An then helped everyone up one by one, some of the civil and military officials flushed with excitement, their faces turning red, as if they were willing to die for him.
Li Maolin had already prepared a banquet, but now the security arrangements had been taken over by the Dragon Suppression Guard, and a group of people ceremoniously made their way to the county government office.
People on both sides of the street watched the procession, exclaiming from time to time. Those who were well-informed had already begun to loudly proclaim the origin of the Prince of Ping’an’s son.
The son of the Prince of Ping’an returned to his “hometown.”‘
For a time, the entire Jinzhou City was boiling with excitement. Even the local ruffians and hooligans, who were becoming increasingly rare under the crackdown of the county government, did not dare to cause any disturbance.
How could they dare to do so under rhe oppression of the Dragon Suppression Guard?
However, the attention of the people shifted to Jinshan Temple, as they were curious about when the Prince, who was raised in the temple, would visit the mountain.
Jinshan Temple.
At this moment, all senior monks of the Xuan Generation gathered, and among them were also some showing signs of aging. Birth, aging, sickness, and death were the natural ways of the world. Although they had reached the high level of Martial Arts, their lifespan was still limited.
However, Abbot Xuankong of Jinshan Temple still didn’t show up. Xuan Nan, the chief of Reception, had a clear understanding of the outside world.
“Tomorrow, the Prince will visit the temple. I have already instructed the novice monks to clean the guest rooms. Everything within the temple should carry on as usual.”‘
Saying that, he glanced at Xuan Ji of the Discipline Hall. In recent years, the relationship between the temple and the Liang Family had grown closer, and they had accepted many members of rhe Liang Family as lay disciples. He had no objection to this, as it was a fair exchange.
“Senior brother, rest assured. The Discipline Hall has already sent the lay disciples down the mountain. The situation will be discussed after the Prince leaves.”
“That’s good.”
After confirming that there were no problems, the monks finally let out a sigh of relief, but doubts still lingered in their hearts.
Is the Prince’s visit a good thing or a bad thing after all?
Both Jinzhou City and Jinshan Temple were lively, but this excitement had nothing to do with Liang Sheng. Ar this time, Liang Sheng was at a critical moment in his cultivation.
The breakthrough of the Life span Cultivation Technique would probably happen today!
