Chapter 248: Chapter 125: Tian Yuan’s Li Gang, First Battle with Mao Ruxue!_2
"Is the old man referring to the case of the carving in Confucius Temple’s Literature Palace?" At this, Chen Chang’an did not wait for Liang Renxing to say anything, but took the initiative to speak.
A hint of a thoughtful smile hovered on the corner of his lips.
"You already know?!" Liang Renxing was caught off guard by Chen Chang’an’s remark.
Seeing this, Chen Chang’an’s smile grew brighter, then he shook his head and said:
"Old man, there is nothing unknown about this."
"Currently, the Confucian Sect, bolstered by the luck of the Human Race from the Three Thousand Realms, is at its zenith."
"But, even at its zenith, the Sect is still a bit short of the top ten sects."
"It is still somewhat lacking."
"And at this time, I, who controls the Heavenly Void God, appeared."
"Why would they invite me at such a critical moment? The answer hardly needs guessing."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Liang Renxing couldn’t help but be stunned:
"So, you already knew."
Immediately after, he asked:
"However, I don’t quite understand. If you know the purpose of the Confucian Sect’s invitation, why did you agree?"
In response to Liang Renxing, Chen Chang’an said:
"Old man, why shouldn’t I agree?"
"The Confucian Sect has always been aligned with the orthodox of the Human Race."
"The worst outcome is just joining them and becoming one of their members."
"Can there be an outcome worse than this?"
"Indeed, there isn’t." Liang Renxing shook his head.
Then, raising his wine cup, he said,
"I admire your open-mindedness, little friend Chen."
"Come, little friend Chen, let me toast you again."
With that, Liang Renxing and Chen Chang’an clinked glasses again and drank.
Their drinking lasted until sunset.
During this time, the two discussed many matters.
From geography and astronomy, down to the customs and culture of various places.
Through their conversation, Chen Chang’an found out that Liang Renxing liked to record things.
Although he seldom left Daqian in recent years, he had a good understanding of the culture and climate of other areas in the Wuxiang realm.
He even knew some things about the Saint Realm and the Immortal Realm.
That truly piqued Chen Chang’an’s interest.
After their discussion, both of them enjoyed their conversation, as if they had known each other for years.
At this point, during their casual talk, Chen Chang’an asked:
"However, old man, I have a question."
"It is said that you didn’t attend the previous Quxiang meetings, why are you here this time?"
The reason Chen Chang’an asked this was purely out of curiosity, with no other intentions.
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Liang Renxing on the other side said:
"I’m not hiding it from little friend Chen. I had to come to the Holy City due to some affairs, and that’s why I am here."
"I thought of coming here this time to find something to take back."
"Find something to take back?"
Chen Chang’an was momentarily startled at this.
"Did the old man find it?"
The next moment, he heard Liang Renxing sigh and shake his head,
"Not yet."
"I’ve been in this Holy City for more than half a month, but I haven’t found a thing. I’m afraid I’ve made a fool of myself in front of little friend Chen."
"I had originally planned on leaving, but I heard someone say at the city gate that they saw a refined young man come into the city."
"I had a hunch that it might be you, little friend Chen, so I decided to come and see."
"I didn’t expect that I was just trying my luck, but when I got here, I found out it really was you."
"I’m truly honored to meet you, little friend Chen."
Saying this, Liang Renxing took another sip of his wine while facing Chen Chang’an.
"Don’t say such courtesy words, old man. I’m also very happy to meet you, Liang."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Chang’an suddenly realized something. The reason Liang Renxing came to the Holy City was probably on behalf of the Daqian Dynasty.
This matter is doomed to be insoluble.
The east of the Daqian Dynasty borders the Endless Sea, and its back is surrounded by ancient mountain ranges teeming with demonic creatures.
The last thing one could call that place is a dead end, so reviving it is probably no easy task.
The sky gradually darkened and Liang Renxing had already said his farewells and left.
In the room, only Chen Chang’an remained.
However, although he was in the room, Chen Chang’an, for some reason, felt a strange thumping sensation in his chest.
It was as if something was about to happen.
Looking towards the room of Mao Ruxue, he noticed that neither of them had returned.
"Did something happen?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chang’an’s brows furrowed.
This was Zhongzhou, where great Divine Skill users were plentiful. Although Mao Ruxue was already a True King, it was not necessarily safe here.
Fortunately, after sensing with his divine senses, Chen Chang’an found that the states of Mao Ruxue and the others were still as they were originally.
Their breath had stopped in one place, it seemed something had occurred.
Thinking of this, Chen Chang’an immediately walked out the door.
Following the location of their breaths, he found them in a bustling marketplace where the two were embroiled in troubles.
However, they were not the main characters in these problems. The protagonist was a familiar-faced, pink-dressed woman.
This woman was none other than Lin Qingxue, whom they had met on their way to the Holy City.
And standing in front of them now were a group of house servants.
