Sheng Fu

Chapter 858: A Straightforward Opening

Near noon, inside Hengchang Palace.

Fu Cheng and Helian Xiong, Xie Yiming and Chen Shouxin have entered the venue.

Xie Yiming had been to Hengchang Sect many times and was familiar with the surrounding architectural layout. Fu Cheng had seldom been here, so before entering Hengchang Hall, he took a good stroll around the area.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was gentle.

Yuwen Jun sat high on the throne, Gu Yu, Xuan He and six others stood on his left and right sides respectively.

The maids began to serve the dishes. Today, Jing Hanqing would also have a few drinks with the two princes.

Seeing that Jing Hanqing is now sharp and mellow, and her every move reveals the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, Fu Cheng's heart is filled with emotion. The little girl from the past now has the ability to stand on her own.

It is inevitable that I feel some regrets.

In his youth, Fu Cheng had really fantasized that as the leader of the Seven Laws, he would lead the Seven Laws of the North to accomplish a great and spectacular career in this world.

But things often don't go as we wish.

After seeing Gu Yu and the others, Fu Cheng didn't seem surprised. Perhaps sometimes, young people's curiosity is not as strong as that of older people.

Xie Yiming had been observing Gu Yu, Xuan He and others intentionally or unintentionally out of the corner of his eyes.

The awe-inspiring aura of the soul practitioner also made Xie Yiming and Chen Shouxin's eyes light up. Just based on the first impression, Xie Yiming felt that someone like Gu Yu would never do anything unnecessary.

He is proficient in calculation, but not worldly; he has many methods, but they are in line with the way of nature.

Yu Wenjun looked at Xie Yiming and laughed, "I didn't expect you would care so much about Gu Yu and the others' identities. I'm a little surprised."

Xie Yiming grinned and said, "It's just that I have never seen what a soul practitioner looks like. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness."

As they were talking, the banquet was ready.

Jing Hanqing began to pour wine for everyone. When he came to Fu Cheng, he lowered his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you doing well recently?"

Fu Cheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and whispered, "Everything is fine, you have to take care of yourself too."

Jing Hanqing smiled knowingly and came closer to Xie Yiming holding the wine jug.

Now that the Half Moon Wine was gone, Xie Yiming subconsciously felt that the aroma of the wine had many shortcomings, but he did not say it out loud, after all, it was Half Moon Wine.

Yu Wenjun raised the first glass of wine, glanced at everyone, and said casually: "No more words, it's all in the wine, everyone drink it up."

Xie Yiming laughed and said, "Your Highness, don't even want to say a few more polite words?"

Yu Wenjun drank it all in one gulp, put down the wine glass, rolled his eyes at Xie Yiming, and replied: "So do you still need to say polite words?"

"Don't look at the fact that one of you is the Southern King and the other is the Northern King. After all, I am also a man with a purple gold Human King Token. In the human race, my status and position is not inferior to yours, so we are equal."

"Since we are equal, there is no need to say clichés or nonsense."

"But if you two go to the territory of the spirit race, I can still take care of you for your own sake."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yiming quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop, we all know this."

Fu Cheng laughed dryly and said, "Actually, I'm not very good at making polite remarks. Today's banquet is kept simple, and I really like it."

Xie Yiming looked at Fu Cheng and said with a little dissatisfaction: "I didn't expect you to be bought off so quickly?"

Fu Cheng replied innocently, "What did you bribe me with?"

Xie Yiming: "..." Yu Wenjun said: "This time we are trying to win over the hearts of the two princes. Please sell them at a cheap price."

Xie Yiming looked at Yu Wenjun with dissatisfaction and stared, "Why?"

Yu Wenjun smiled knowingly and said, "Because His Majesty the Emperor doesn't sell it for a high price. If you two sell it for too high a price, I'm afraid you will have a hard time living as human beings in many places in the future."

After hearing what was said, Gu Yu, Xuan He and the others gradually understood what was going on.

In Gu Yu's eyes, Fu Cheng had some of the aura of a king, but the tall fat man, although seemingly having the aura of a king, was a little sloppy and a little hard to see through.

One can also sense Xie Yiming's prejudice against soul practitioners.

However, when Xie Yiming heard that the Human Emperor was not expensive, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately laughed and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Your Highness, why didn't you just say it clearly from the beginning? Aren't you treating us as outsiders?"

Yu Wenjun raised his eyebrows slightly and pouted: "But King Nan didn't ask me at the beginning."

Xie Yiming laughed weakly and said, "If I don't ask, does that mean Your Highness won't tell me?"

Yu Wenjun said unhappily, "Use your chopsticks. This table of food may not be as good as a banquet of eight delicacies, but it's still pretty good. I'll shut you up for now."

Everyone started to eat, and after a few bites, Yu Wenjun said, "These six people are my capable men. They are not good at the social etiquette of the human race. I think we should skip the toast to the two princes today."

After these words were spoken, Fu Cheng, as a young man, did not think there was anything excessive. However, the expressions of Helian Xiong, Xie Yiming and Chen Shouxin beside him changed slightly, as if they were a little heavy.

Yu Wenjun saw it and smiled softly, "This is all for the sake of the human race's achievements. Red tape can be avoided if possible. Haomiao City has experienced a lot of ups and downs. I hope the three of you will forgive me."

After hearing this, Xie Yiming, Chen Shouxin and Helian Xiong felt much better.

Chen Shouxin's eyes sparkled, and he took a deep breath and said, "In fact, we all understand. It's just that it's really hard for us to get used to working with a soul practitioner all of a sudden."

Yu Wenjun laughed and said, "Then you just need to adapt slowly. In a few days, you will hear about my achievements in the demon world. Then you will understand naturally."

"But I also know that there will definitely be some opposing voices at that time, but I hope that those opposing voices are not you. After all, you have been standing on the dry shore since the great struggle began."

"If you really make me angry, I will definitely arrange for a few of you to go to the dangerous battlefield to make achievements for the human race. Your Master has been a little aggrieved by me recently."

"I even went to the Human Emperor to file a complaint against me, but the Human Emperor finally chose to forgive me. He also knew that it was not easy for me to lead the troops in battle."

Xie Yiming poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and pressed the glass on the table with a little force. He said in a slightly hoarse and heavy voice: "I know everything. There is no need to be so sarcastic. You can rest assured that we will cooperate with fellow Taoists Gu Yu in the future."

Fu Cheng also quickly said: "For the great cause of the human race, we should be open-minded and tolerant!"

Only then did Yu Wenjun smile contentedly.

But Xie Yiming suddenly said: "Actually, I have wanted to go to the battlefield for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Yu Wenjun said: "Okay, the next time we go to war, you can go to Chen Xuan's army and serve as a vanguard general!"

"Anyway, you and Chen Xuan are old acquaintances. When the time comes to deploy the troops, you can talk openly."

Xie Yiming concentrated slightly and said with certainty: "Call me if there is anything."

Yu Wenjun gave a thumbs up and said, "Your Highness the Southern Prince, you are truly a man of great power."

Chen Shouxin couldn't stand it any longer, so he tried to reconcile them, "Don't fan the flames. Otherwise, my Nan Wang will rush to the depths of the battlefield and get beaten up."

Fu Cheng smiled without saying anything. Sometimes listening to other people bickering was also a different kind of enjoyment.

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but burst into laughter, his arm holding the wine glass trembling slightly, and said: "I understand, I will definitely make a decision on this matter according to the circumstances, but for now, let Gu Yu assist the two princes to complete the task of extraditing the human race."
