sue of "alienation".A long time ago, practitioners discovered that spending too much time in the illusionary realm would cause their bodies to be subtly altered by the realm itself. This wasn't a stra...“After disappearing for many years, Xu Fang arrived at Qing Shi Palace, calling out to Sheng Tai Zi and begging forgiveness from Jiang Wu Liang.”
"...Xu Fang poured out his heart, proving his sincerity!"
Messages like this came one after another.
Until Xu Fang died, the repercussions continued unabated, and instead grew stronger and stronger!
No matter how the wind and clouds change, the banquet continues.
Because...it wasn't dark yet, and the scenery hadn't been fully enjoyed.
Although the setting sun painting the clouds red and the evening glow over Linzi are indeed one of the seven most scenic views, how many people present can truly appreciate it
...his mind was no longer on this.
At the central main table, there were the fewest people. Seated were Qing Xi and Li Zhengshu, while Chong Xuan Mingguang sat majestically at the head of the table. There were also two other elders from prominent families accompanying him, but their status was nothing special. Chong Xuan Shengjing respectfully sat at the end. After Qing Xi took the initiative to be friendly, although Chong Xuan Mingguang's face didn't look very good, the atmosphere became lively.
Li Longchuan, Xu Xiangqian, Yan Fu, Gao Zhe and other sons of prominent families sat at the next table, accompanied by Jiang Wang.
Every person present was sharp-witted and upon hearing the name Xu Fang, they immediately surmised that it had something to do with the Precious Treasure Merchant. Though few spoke of the case involving the Xu family back then, it wasn't completely forgotten by people.
Jiang Wang knew the news wasn't any faster than theirs.
Xu Fang was bound to die. This was something Xu Fang had been prepared for long ago, and Chong Xuan Sheng had never shied away from it either. This matter was a big one, absolutely not to be linked to Chong Xuan Sheng, at least not on the surface.
Therefore, Chongxuan, excelling in talent, personally went to Yuli Fang to look for someone, inviting only Jiang Wang to accompany him.

If He Xuan was also affected, then no one would be able to help Xu Fang complete his revenge.
His death merely sounded the horn for the Revenge Merchant Guild's reprisal. The subsequent onslaught would require a powerful force to carry it out.
Therefore, severing Chong Xuan's connection to this matter is not just Chong Xuan's responsibility, but also something Xu Fang must strive to do.
At the inn's final parting, Jiang Wang had prepared for Xu Fang's death. He just hadn't expected him to be so intense, laying bare his heart and soul!
He seemed to be able to see Xu putting it like that, asking like that.
“I was acting out of the public good...”
"Are they...still blaming me"

To bare his heart to the world, Xu Fang was truly open and honest!
But ironically, while the world might now acknowledge him as a maverick who lived life on his own terms, this time...this was undeniably a confession he wasn't being candid about.
He was not confessing, he was framing. He wasn't acting out of justice, but out of hatred. He didn't believe he was wrong, yet he deceived himself and the world.

Perhaps, be a candid ghost, lay bare your heart, and tell him the feelings he has held for eighteen years—feelings he dared not die or face his family with.
Here's the text translated into English:

Perhaps on the Path of Yellow Springs, there will truly be people waiting. Will anyone truly say to him "Enough" or "Never Forgive"
"Having lifted his cup, the broad-nosed Gao Zhe said at this moment: “The Seven Sceneries of Linzi are indeed renowned for a reason. Brother Jiang is even more heroic and youthful. I am truly impressed by you! This cup, I shall drink it first. Brother Jiang, please feel free!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gazing at Gao Zhe gulping down his full cup, Jiang Wang also raised his cup and finished it in one go.
"You are absolutely right, senior."
"Another day, when I have some free time, I should go to my Jinghai County to see the sea view. It's not inferior to the scenery of Linzi!"
"Of course!"
At this point, Yan Ping's grandson, Yan Fu, also spoke up: "In the past, I was so absorbed in books that I neglected to experience the world. In the future, when I have free time, I must venture out more often,"
His voice was gentle and mild, with no aggression.
Similarly, as a gesture of goodwill, it's more subtle than Gao Zhe's.
Jiang Wang can fully represent Chongxuan Sheng, and it can be seen from how he entertains guests at this table.
Their friendliness towards Jiang Wang was actually a response to Chong Xuan's move.
...indicates that we can further cooperate in the future, and it's not just about being drinking buddies.
Zhong Xuanzun was sent to the Ji Xia Academy for a year, only managing to turn the tide in his favor. However, Zhong Xuansheng quickly launched a counterattack, and it was so fierce. The scales in their hearts had already tipped towards Zhong Xuansheng's side.
As for Xu Xiangqian and Li Longchuan, they didn't say much. Their friendship with Jiang Wang was naturally closer, so there was no need to express any further determination at this time.
“Certainly!” Jiang Wang replied, “I am quite unfamiliar with Linzi. I would need all of your help and guidance. Such a large city could easily make one lost.”

"When the time comes, I'll take care of it!" Xu Xiangqian said with a flourish. "I'll be at the Yu Shui Pavilion under the moonlit lanterns tonight to look after you! Of course, you have to bring money!"
It's also unclear if he has some misunderstanding about the word "correspondence".
"Brother Xu, that's putting things too formally." Gao Zhe laughed. "With Brother Yan here, who would we even need to pay"
The county where the An family's old house is located is only known by one word—"Bei"!
The character “財” comes from the character “貝”, which means the Bei county naturally is renowned for its wealth throughout the land.
And as the leading family in Bei County, the Yan family's wealth and prosperity needless to say.
Gaozhe's words held some veiled meaning, but Yan Fu didn't mind. He just smiled softly and said, "Let's go together."
Yan Fu's temperament reminded Jiang Wang easily of Wang Changxiang from Fenglin City. But their gentleness differed in essence. Wang Changxiang was a gentle person who didn't fight or grab, while Yan Fu's gentleness carried a bone-deep arrogance and self-confidence.
In other words, Yan Fu's kindness was disdain, while Wang Changxiang's kindness was non-confrontational.
Xu Xiangqian liked those who were willing to spend money. He didn't have much of a good opinion of the Gao family in Jinghai County, but he only spared Gao Zhe face because of Jiang Wang's sake. He also looked down on Yan Fu, who came with Gao Zhe, as an old scholar like himself.
But seeing that Yan Fan was so generous with his money, he immediately felt more favorably towards him and eagerly said, "I'll go too! I'll go too!"
Time waits for no one, good times are hard to hold onto.

As the fiery hues of sunset fade, the gathering begins to wind down.
Suddenly, a servant came to report that Su Xie, the head of the Ju Bao Merchant Association, was outside seeking an audience.
Whether leaving or changing scenes, everyone held their footing and settled into their chairs.
How could I miss such a good show
At the main table, Chongxuan acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He drank and ate meat by himself, while the others kept silent, each with their own thoughts, watching him with cold eyes.
On the other hand, Chong Xuanming felt a bit uncomfortable. After all, he knew this was someone's private residence, so he asked Chong Xuansheng, "Isn't it inappropriate to make guests wait outside the door"
Zhong Xuan Sheng glanced at his uncle, knowing he was considering the partnership between Zhong Xuan Zun and the Ju Bao Merchant Guild. However, publicly disagreeing with his uncle would be embarrassing for the Zhong family.
There is no doubt that Old Master Chongxuan would definitely hang him from a tree and beat him slowly.
"Please invite him in." Chongxuan Sheng commanded.

At this time, the subordinates bowed and went out. Throughout the process, Chong Xuan Mingguang remained completely indifferent, showing Chong Xuan Sheng's ability to control his subordinates.
In a short time, the elegant Su Shea strode forward, followed by a mature yet charming woman, who was Cheng Shiyi, the vice-head of the Ju Bao Merchant Association.r with his cloak, Fang Pengju, who had chatted amicably with the town officials, and Jiang Wang, who had single-handedly repelled the ruffian's accomplices with his sword. She said things like "In my...
