Chapter Seventeen: Disciples

petitive with others, and competitive with herself. This world isn't just about clues and answers, or even just cases. She took her father as a role model, but what was the outcome of that role model”...Nor shall we speak of how the Longlin Racecourse, from Xiong Bochun down to his seven subordinates, were hung in the council hall for three full days. Nor need we mention how the Yongxing Gang's halls collapsed overnight, and the Black Tiger Hall's ancestral guardian, the Black Tiger, mysteriously vanished…

In short, the opening of Bai Yu Jing Restaurant was very successful and soon became incredibly popular. All the schemes that Bai Yu Xia had prepared proved to be useless.

Just an ordinary tavern, it is not enough to showcase Bai Yu's talent. Even if Bai Yuejing quickly became the top tavern in Xingyueyuan, it was still nothing special.

As long as Jiang Wang set up the posture of staying here for a long time, he also made preparations for long-term development.

As for whom Jiang Wang wanted to fish, Jiang Wang didn't say, and he wouldn't ask.

To be frank, if he could handle the diplomatic relations on both sides of Qi Jing well, he would be fully capable of immediately establishing a national system in Xingyueyuan.

Of course, a small country with inherent shortcomings and no room for development wouldn't be something that Bai Yu-xia would look at.

Since Marquis of Wuan has lost his title, Marquis of Boping is naturally a good choice.

With Jiang Wang's connections and the intervention of Bo Wang Hou Chong Xuan Sheng, he would certainly not lack opportunities in Qi.

He had honed his skills in intrigue and power struggles since childhood, growing up in a prestigious family. He wasn't afraid of falling behind in the officialdom of Daqi.

But didn't he choose to leave Yue Guo in the first place because people were all weighing the pros and cons, and he couldn't see even a glimmer of hope for reform He followed Jiang Wang, it was to get closer to the legend, to witness the legend with his own eyes... also to become a legend.

Tiānfēng Valley isn't small, the reason such a rare development exists on this plain is mainly due to human factors.

The valley below was like a vast neighborhood, with streets branching out like the webs of a spider.

Of course, the Bai Yujing was built along the most important "street", clinging to the cliff.

Bai Yu's flaw, leaning on the tower to look into the distance, just saw a young man wearing a short-sleeved hemp shirt and a hatchet at his waist, walking through the crowd with dusty steps.

His gaze stopped, and the man also halted in the middle of the street.

Now the crowds have become a surging tide, and this man has become a reef.

He stood here like a rock, his gaze drawn to the towering buildings.

The noise ceased abruptly, and even the wind stopped blowing.

The eyes of the two met, clashing before blades ever did.

Bai Yu Xi recognized this person.

Anyone who visited the Guanhetai in Daoli's year 3919 would know Lin Xian.

Unmatched sharpness, unrestricted divine powers.

After a year's separation, the former youthful appearance is gone.

Now Lin Xian is silent, firm, and unyielding. He gives Bai Yu Xia a faint sense of familiarity.

After a moment of silent eye contact, Bai Yuxia realized where this sense of familiarity came from—the current Lin Xian was a bit like the former Jiang Wang.

But now, Jiang Wang has an added touch of nobility and grace. There's a hint of the demeanor one would expect from someone who once stood at the pinnacle of power, a calmness that comes from being revered by all.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And perhaps Lin Xian in the future will also have all of these.

"Please return, Brother Lin," Bai Yu Xia said. "Immortals do not see guests, they are far from worldly affairs."

Jiang Wang had been in seclusion for a long time, and the Jade White Palace's twelfth floor was completely isolated from the outside world. He handled everything single-handedly, and there was a reason why he kept Lin Xian out.

The Baiyu Pavilion Restaurant opened its doors on its second day of operation.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

The Crown Prince of Rongguo came personally to Xingyueyuan, with ten carriages full of gifts, to see Jiang Wang.

...was also rejected by him on behalf of Jiang Wang.

In the past, when the Duke of Qi held a grand ceremony to honor his ancestors at Taimiao Temple, Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan were appointed as feudal lords. On this occasion, Prince Rong of another country personally visited Qi to pay respects. His purpose was to seek greater support from the Qi court.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the Battle of Xia, Rong's prime minister, Ou Yang Yong, died in battle. Rong lost a pillar of their nation and its only Divine Presence cultivator.

>

After the war, Qi State gave Rong State appropriate rewards and compensation, and also promised to protect Rong State's territory until the next person capable of shouldering the burden of Rong State appeared, or for a hundred years.

Now that the prince of Rongguo has come to see Jiang Wang with great ceremony, even without him speaking, Bai Yu Xia can know what he is thinking.

It's nothing more than this system of offering the entire nation to the heavens. Bowing to an official like a Grand Duke or using someone like a General Jiang as a pretext for national stability, borrowing General Jiang's reputation to pacify the country.

But Jiang Wang even gave up his position in Qi, could he still go to Rong

To prevent the Crown Prince of the Land of Tolerance from making a show of his sincerity and selling himself as pitiful, wasting Jiang Wang's time on cultivation, and leaving him with a cold reputation, Bai Yu Xia preemptively declined on Jiang Wang's behalf.

When the Crown Prince of Rongguo left, Jiao Linxi, who had once envied him, came back the first day. It can be seen that his heart is not dead yet.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although Bai Yu Xia admired Lin Xian as a person, she still responded with a firm attitude.

Just as Bai Yu Xia remembered Lin Xian, Lin Xian naturally also remembered Bai Yu Xia, remembering this person's pride and cleanliness on the riverside pavilion.

When the stars shine, they are among them.

He stood in the midst of the bustling crowd, his head tilted up as he spoke slowly and alone: “My visit here is not on behalf of Rongguo, but only on behalf of Lin Xian.”

Now Bai Yu Xia couldn't make the decision for Jiang Wang.

"Please go to the eleventh floor," Bai Yu Xia said.

Lin Xian nodded and walked into the tavern, ascending level by level.

The entire eleventh floor was divided into many different areas by Bai Yu Xia, including a quiet room, tea room, study, armory, and martial arts training room...

He asked Lin Xian to sit down in the tea room: "When Brother Jiang finishes his evening class, we usually discuss matters of cultivation. Then you will be able to meet him."

Lin Xian nodded in thanks, but didn't say anything else.

Bai Yu grasped a cup of tea with grace and said nonchalantly, "May I ask first, Brother Lin, when you said this trip doesn't represent Rong Guo... what did you mean"

Lin Xian raised her eyes to look at him.

This green and struggling young man, as if in the night he became a weighty man. His gaze is full of substance.

White Jade Imperfection added, "Although Wang Jun is no longer a Duke, I am still his guest."

Lin Xian said, "I'll be his errand boy."

Bai Yu Xia was silent for a moment.

This sentence, when placed on any Yellow River prodigy, would seem like a joke. But coming from Lin Xianzhi's mouth, it carries a great deal of tension.

In ancient times, on the plains under the starry sky and moonlit night, Lin Xian uttered the words "I wish to be a dog under Jiang Qingyang's command," which spread throughout the Eastern Region.

Some people think it's self-evident.

Some people think it's an exaggeration and treat it as a joke.

Some also ridicule him for being too servile and flattering to the great powers.

But when Jiang Wang later became a Marquis after his victory in Xia, breaking the record for the youngest military marquis of the time, people could only marvel at Lin Xian's foresight when talking about those past events.

Due to Yu Beidou's proclamation, the world knows that Jiang Wang fought and killed four powerful demons within the Inner Palace realm, creating a terrifying record unprecedented in history.

But no one knew that Lin Xian had watched the entire battle from the sidelines.

From then on, I looked up to the mountains and made that my life goal.

Bai Yu's jade lips sipped a cup of tea, idly waiting for Jiang Wang to finish his cultivation.

Saying it's over isn't really the end.

Although the evening class had already ended, Jiang Wang's palms were still surrounded by the glow of magical light, and he didn't stop practicing — this was also how he was when discussing cultivation issues with Bai Yu Xias during their usual times.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Seeing Lin Xian being led to the twelfth floor by Bai Yu Xia, Jiang Wang was taken aback and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Brother Lin, why did you come in person"

He had already heard from Bai Yu Xia about the visit of the Crown Prince of Rong Nation. He would absolutely not get involved in anything to do with Rong Nation.

Even if he were offered the position of Taishang Huang, even if Lin Xian himself came to invite him, and he and Lin Xian were already quite familiar.

He believes that Lin Xian should also be familiar with him, and the decisions he has made will not be changed.

But he was clearly thinking of something else.

Lin Xian's purpose for coming here is not the same as that of Rong Guo's Crown Prince.

At first sight of Jiang Wang, he immediately knelt down and declared: "Today, Lin Xian comes in his own name to visit... Please allow me to follow you in your cultivation!"

Jiang Wang supported him with one hand and stopped him from bowing.

One sentence was enough.

During the War of Xia, Lin Xian also had companions.

Lin Xian, who studied at the Jixia Academy, was once a classmate of mine.

>

Even the state minister of the Rong country, Ou Yang Yong, died on the Eastern Front battlefield where he had been fighting.

So, of course, he understood Lin Xian's predicament and could understand why Lin Xian had bowed down.

As a former Tianjiao participant in the Yellow River Gathering, Lin Xian is now at the Outer Courtyard Realm and facing the gap between heaven and humanity.

But the country has long been without divine presence...

No one could preach to him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Given Lin Xian's talent, even if he were just to review old texts or explore independently, he should be able to transcend the divide between heaven and humanity.

But when the deity appeared, it was clearly not what Lin Xian desired.

Then stop following.

Jiang Wang said warmly, "Brother Lin, if you don't mind, stay here. The path of the Dao is long, and everyone has times of confusion. Why not travel together"

Bai Yu Xia originally expected to see how Jiang Wang would refuse, but she didn't expect Jiang Wang to agree so readily.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even Lian Linxian has to move in.

A mere tavern on the outskirts of Tianfeng Valley, what makes it so special

"What do you think, Xiaobai" Jiang Wang asked.

"Oh, oh."

Bai Yu Xia seemed to have been lost in thought for a moment, but she was awakened very naturally. With great grace, she smiled and said, "Of course! Lin Xian is a great talent, and I'm personally honored that he would be willing to grace our tavern with his presence."

He looked around and said, "Brother Lin, you can live on the eleventh floor. I'll have someone set aside a few rooms for you."

>

Lin Xian nodded in thanks and said, "Brother Bai, you don't need to worry too much. My life is simple. All I need is a three-foot space and a cushion."

To be even more servile than a guest, to act like a house dog, and yet to want nothing, satisfied with just a simple mat to sit on.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Still the Yellow River's pride.

Bai Yu Xia inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

"That won't do. We of the Baiyujing must never be lacking in respect."

He hooked his arm around Lin Xian's shoulder: "Come, let's go downstairs and chat in detail. Don't let this little thing interfere with Brother Jiang's cultivation."

The two of them went down to the eleventh floor and planned out Lin Xian's room. Bai Yu Xiasaid nonchalantly, "Do you know why this tavern is called Bai Yu Jing"

"Because it's a hermit's dwelling"

"Because my name is Bai Yu Xie."

Lin Xian understood: "You are the chief, and I am the deputy."

Bai Yu-xia patted his shoulder, speaking volumes without words.

The chief retainer, Bai Yu-xia, at first did not expect Jiang Wang to have gone to Xingyue to hide his light and bide his time, hiding it so unsuccessfully.

Lin Xianlai's coming was not an end, but rather the beginning.

From this day forward, a great many people came to the Bai Yu Jing winehouse, requesting to be accepted as disciples by Jiang Wang.

It is widely believed that the renowned Jiang Wang, having chosen to leave Qi alone, must have done so in order to achieve great things on his own.

Given the current state of affairs, it's unlikely for another hegemonic power to emerge. However, considering Jiang Wang's reputation, strength, and clearly visible future... if he truly aims to establish a nation, a regionally powerful one is still within reach.

While Jiang Wang remained unscathed after being away from Qi for so long, it shows that he has weathered the storms of those overt and covert forces who opposed him during his time as Qi Gong Hou. He is poised to deliver on his promises in the future.

This is the end of a paragraph.

So all these self-proclaimed talents who felt they were underappreciated flocked to him, each hoping to be the "adviser of the dragon".

This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags. The text " This is a sentence" is enclosed within the

tag, which defines a paragraph.

Fortunately, Bai Yu Xia remembered that she and Jiang Wang were not here to recruit soldiers and buy horses, so she stopped them all for Jiang Wang.

Some people know their limits and withdraw.

Another group of people saw this as a test, and they would often stay at the Baiyu Pavilion restaurant, eating and drinking there regularly at set times. They hoped to show Jiang Wang their sincerity by letting him see their persistence.

Bai Yu Xia didn't drive them away, considering it as supporting the business of the tavern.

Then one day, a handsome man with long flowing hair walked into Baiyu City.

Although he didn't have an obvious imposing presence, this unique aura of danger immediately startled Bai Yu Xia who was buried in calculations at the counter.

He stepped out from behind the counter, "What can I get for you Our shop houses the finest wines from across the five domains and boasts top chefs from six kingdoms. You name it, we've got it!"

Patrons from afar cast curious glances, eager to see who the esteemed manager Bai Jing would treat with such reverence.

The newcomer seemed clearly surprised by the strength of this wine shop: "Which six countries"

Bai Yu's flawless face remained unchanged as she spoke: "Xu, Zhao, Chang, Yi, Rong, Shen."

Wow, these countries are one after another getting smaller.

The handsome young man's eyelids twitched: "You don't elaborate, I even thought your shop gathered the imperial chefs of the six great empires."

Bái Yù Xiá calmly said, "This shop is honest and fair to everyone."

But what other people think is none of your business

"You can ask me anything," Bai Yuxia said with a smile.

"Good, you've got the makings of a businessman. If things don't work out for you in the future, come join me."

The visitor spoke, finding an empty seat by the window: "Forget the food, just bring me a pot of your most expensive wine."

"Fetch a pot of Immortal's Drunkenness!"

Bai Yu Xia instructed, and then looked at the guest, "Your bearing is extraordinary, far from an ordinary person. Have you also come to seek out our master"

A handsome young man looked at him with a half-smile, saying succinctly: "I'm here to collect the debt."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu Xia immediately stiffened, her qi and blood suddenly retreating.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Lin Xian also appeared silently, his hand resting on the hilt of the cleaver.

>

And the handsome young man's gaze merely swept over them lightly.

This cold touch was so real, it made Bai Yu Xia seem to smell a stench of decay.

Just as tensions were running high—

There's no need to be nervous.

Jiang Wang smiled as she made her entrance, patted Bai Yu Xia's shoulder, dispersing the cold aura around him, and then sat opposite the guest.

It's been a long time.

A handsome young man smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't dare to see me."

> "Why am I afraid to see you"

Jiang Wang retorted, furrowing his brows: "Such heavy killing intent You've even scared the gods back from the celestial expanse."

Seeing them so familiar, Lin Xian silently disappeared again. Bai Yu Xia walked back to the counter and continued calculating the unfinished accounts.

>

And the shop assistant was just carrying a pot of wine out, unsure whether to continue serving it.

Jiang Wang looked up into the air with a gesture, drawing the pot of wine over and placing it flat on the table.

Yin Guan very naturally took a wine glass, flipped it over, and lightly pushed it with his finger, waiting for Jiang Wang to pour him some wine. He said in his mouth: "Sorry, I just closed a deal. It's a bit hard to control."

Jiang Wang filled his cup with wine and set the bottle down.

Yin Guan was about to drink his fill in a manner that was as dangerous and bloody as a knife licking blood, but just as the cup reached his lips, he suddenly looked at Jiang Wang with alertness: "Why aren't you drinking"

>

"Oh, I wouldn't want to drink." Jiang Wang said casually.

Yin Guan's eyes were suspicious: "You wouldn't have poisoned the wine, would you"

"What benefit would poisoning you have for me" Jiang Wang retorted.

"I've cleared a large debt," Yin Guandao said.

Jiang Wang shrugged, regretfully saying, "Mainly because I'm not good at this."

Yin Guan put down his wine cup.

"Hey, once it's opened, no returns or exchanges!"

Jiang Wang emphasized.
