Sheng Fu

Chapter 1066 Silent Gratitude
Soon after, the banquet began.

Yuwen Jun, Prince Zhen'an, Wei Mo, and Yan Che sat around a table.

The dishes were plentiful, but the drinks were minimal.

"I'm too busy with official duties to drink much, but there will be plenty of opportunities to drink. Speaking of which, I already owe many drinking parties, and I'll have to owe another one today. I hope the three of you will be lenient," Yuwen Jun said with a self-deprecating smile.

People who don't like drinking naturally don't know what it means to owe someone a big drinking session.

Moreover, although Yuwen Jun knew how to use various drinking etiquette, he was not very familiar with it. Furthermore, words spoken while drunk should not be taken seriously most of the time.

Of course, what the Prince of Zhen'an said can still be taken seriously.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Wei Mo and Yan Che's faces, but they dared not say it out loud.

Prince Zhen'an glanced at his daughter and son-in-law, and said with a smirk, "Can't you tell they're busy with official duties? The fact that they managed to squeeze out some time to visit us is already a great relief."

"Don't be ungrateful."

"When it comes to drinking, one must be mindful of moderation."

"You must be clear about when you can get completely drunk and when you can only have a few drinks."

"If you can't even distinguish these things, how will you become an official or a general in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Mo and Yan Che could only nod repeatedly.

We can't let deep feelings make us neglect important matters.

Prince Zhen'an said to Wei Mo earnestly, "Your elder brother Yuwen has been waging a covert war all along."

Wei Mo lowered his head slightly in shame, then quickly raised his wine cup and respectfully said to Yuwen Jun, "I toast to you, elder brother, and hope you will give me more guidance in the future."

Yuwen Jun quickly clinked glasses with Wei Mo and replied gently, "There's no need to be so formal."

There will be many more opportunities in the future.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

The difference between young people in power and those without power is quite significant.

In fact, Wei Mo's talent is not weak. He can be compared with some of the Eight Advisors of the human race, and even surpass some of them. However, the prestige of the King of Zhen'an is there. Wei Mo's cultivation is shallow now. Although he has talent and strategy, he can still make great strides. In addition, the opponents he faces in this era of great contention are not easy to deal with.

The petty squabbles among young people are completely different from matters of national importance.

Then, Yan Che raised his glass and said softly, "A toast to my elder brother."

Yuwen Jun readily clinked glasses with Yan Che and replied, "Alright, that's enough."

Afterwards, Yuwen Jun symbolically picked up a few bites of food, clinked glasses with Prince Zhen'an three times, and then got up to leave.

"Are you really leaving?" Prince Zhen'an asked, looking embarrassed.

Yuwen Jun smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's not like I'm not coming back."

Prince Zhen'an burst out laughing, standing with his daughter and son-in-law as they watched the dragon prince depart.

After Yuwen Jun left, the Prince of Zhen'an slowly said to his daughter and son-in-law, "Actually, he gave us a great fortune. The corpse of the Heavenly Nether Python has been refined into pills. More importantly, the pills contain Chaos Emperor Qi, Ziwei True Essence, Netherworld True Essence, and subtle Primordial True Essence."

Such a stroke of luck is a once-in-a-millennium event.

“He gave me fifty pills in private. He has handed over the rest to His Majesty to deal with.”

"However, we can dispose of these fifty as we see fit."

"Actually, although you two have the potential to enter the Boundless Realm, potential and actually achieving it are two different things. But this time, with the blessing of such a elixir, if you continue to cultivate year after year, you will enter the Boundless Realm sooner or later."

"The premise is that you must be able to survive the wars to come." "And the most terrifying thing about this batch of pills is that they will rewrite the cultivation pattern of the Spirit Race, the Human Race, and even the Demon Race invisibly. In a few decades, some exceptionally talented geniuses will inevitably emerge among the three races."

"In times of peace, this batch of pills is destined to shine brightly and may even influence the entire era."

"However, we live in a time of great competition, with many powerful figures emerging. Therefore, the brilliance of this batch of pills is not as intense as one might imagine. You should cherish this blessing. Such a wonderful thing is rare and hard to come by. If you can have it once in your life, that is enough."

Wei Mo and Yan Che then realized that they also knew about Lian Hengshan's refining of the Heavenly Nether Python, but they did not know the specific procedures.

A hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Zhen'an, and he said with complicated thoughts, "Remember, if Yuwen Jun is ever imprisoned or at his wit's end for some reason, if you two have the opportunity to help him, then do your best to help him."

"This is a fortunate connection, and we should cherish it wholeheartedly."

Wei Mo and Yan Che exchanged a glance, both seeing certainty and resolve in each other's eyes.

Some things are better left unsaid.

But they were well aware that as Yuwen Jun's cultivation level increased, he would eventually become the target of everyone's criticism.

Who would want to see someone who has cultivated the Chaos Emperor Qi advance triumphantly all the way to the pinnacle of the Great Dao?

Now, the Prince of Zhen'an can only hope that day will come later.

Or perhaps, the future situation will still allow Yuwen Jun to remain invincible.

……

One Night Sect, Heavenly Sea Secret Realm.

Inside the cozy house, sisters Bei Hanfei and Bei Hanmeng sat around a table, drinking flower tea, while Chu Yu held her child and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

"Thank goodness for this little guy, otherwise we'd be swamped." Bei Hanmeng looked out the window at Chu Yu, who was sitting in the courtyard with a serious expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

When the baby was first born, the two sisters were naturally full of energy, but as the baby cried and released all sorts of inexplicable emotions, the two sisters suffered greatly.

It's not that they lack patience, but rather that they experience a happy kind of helplessness.

Fortunately, Chu Yu is quite resilient; no matter what, she can always stick close to the child.

Bei Hanfei also revealed a captivating smile, resting her cheek on one hand and said, "Once the child is a little older, the two of us will have to take charge ourselves. Chu Yu has neglected a lot of cultivation these days, and we can't let Chu Yu continue to neglect it like this."

Bei Hanmeng smiled and nodded, saying, "Sister is still kind-hearted. Taking care of children is a kind of spiritual practice, a good time to cultivate oneself."

Bei Hanfei gave her sister a knowing look.

Seeing her sister's emotions gradually stabilize, Bei Hanmeng also felt relieved.

Suddenly, Bei Hanmeng looked out into the courtyard.

"Yuwen Jun is here," Bei Hanmeng reminded him.

Bei Hanfei subconsciously looked out the window. Although Yuwen Jun appeared to be in high spirits, he was actually injured. She murmured, "What happened to him this time?"

Bei Hanmeng, however, said nonchalantly, "Sister, don't worry. How can a man who fights on the battlefield not get hurt?"

In the courtyard, Yuwen Jun saw the exquisitely beautiful baby in Chu Yu's arms and couldn't help but show a lovesick expression. Just as Chu Yu was about to speak, Yuwen Jun gestured for her to be quiet.

Adults and children gaze at each other with pure and clear eyes, like two identical streams converging together.

"It looks really good," Yuwen Jun said with a gentle smile.

Chu Yu said, "Big brother, you must come often, so that your younger brother can remember your face deeply."

Yuwen Jun smiled knowingly and said, "I'll try my best."

"You take your little brother for a walk first, I'll go find your sister to talk to her about some serious matters."
