Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 528 (Two Chapters Combined)
Shen Qingzhou rarely seeks out any extraordinary encounters. This world is too vast, and no extraordinary encounter can compare to his system. However, if he has the opportunity, such as when he hears that Liu Zhengfeng is going to hold a birthday banquet, he knows he should go find the Sunflower Manual.

As for the Divine Illumination Scripture, it was entirely a reward for the escort mission. If he were alone, he would probably have to kidnap Ling Shuanghua to get the Divine Illumination Scripture from Ding Dian, and even then, he would have to worry about whether it was genuine or not.

Does anyone know where the Nine Yang Divine Skill is? Kunlun Mountain is incredibly vast, and even Zhang Sanfeng doesn't possess it now. Does anyone know if such a thing even exists?

Besides, there are so many novels, he can't even remember them all. They all involve jumping off cliffs or something, and he still doesn't want to take such risks. It's unnecessary. He doesn't have a collecting habit. There are too many martial arts manuals in this world to collect them all.

However, if I have the chance to go to Mount Hua, I will definitely go and see the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Techniques at the Cliff of Contemplation. It's free stuff. As for the Golden Snake Swordsman, he definitely doesn't exist in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a small country called the Southern Ming, which was actually the country that the Qing Dynasty didn't completely occupy. Mount Hua there has the Divine Sword Immortal Ape Mu Renqing. I feel like he should be there.

After watching Yue Buqun and the others leave, Yilin also left. He then found Liu Zhengfeng and the others. They hadn't left, but they were very vigilant. They noticed Shen Qingzhou's appearance as soon as he arrived, so they were probably waiting for him.

"It seems you've almost recovered from your injuries." Looking at Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, there was no longer any sign of weakness on their faces.

"I have to thank Brother Shen. If it weren't for Brother Shen's rescue, we would be separated by death." Liu Zhengfeng was about to kneel down without saying another word.

This is a life-saving grace; anyone with a conscience knows how heavy it is. Besides, he and Qu Yang seem indifferent to life and death, but that's out of helplessness. If there were any other way, who wouldn't want to live?

They are still alive and can take care of their families, but they are already dead in the outside world. So, the struggle between good and evil is naturally irrelevant to them.

"There's no need for that." Shen Qingzhou directly used the internal force of the Divine Illumination Scripture, making it impossible for the two to force themselves to kneel down.

While they were healing, the two were amazed by Shen Qingzhou's profound internal strength. Now, seeing it again, they couldn't help but be shocked. How could someone so young have developed such internal strength?

If they hadn't been rescued, they probably would have thought the same as everyone else, having had some kind of extraordinary encounter. But after being rescued, both of them became masters. The purity of their internal energy and their ability to control their movements as if they were extensions of their own arms were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

“Brother Shen, although we have escaped a calamity, the Left Alliance Leader of Songshan is indeed very powerful, and since we have also been involved with the Sun Moon Sect, we will definitely have to go into hiding. I just wonder if the World Escort Agency would be willing to let us stay temporarily. If there is any important business in the future, Brother Shen, please give us your orders,” Liu Zhengfeng said.

This is a very subtle way of saying it, but it's very true. It's clearly a message to him: I'll be doing things for you from now on.

This was a life-saving grace, the kind that can never be repaid. Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang weren't stupid; if they saved them and then gave them a "good guy" card, and then did that after the fact, they deserved to die.

They saved your lives, so naturally you should be loyal to them. You need to be sensible and mature in some ways. Both of you are smart people.

They may seem old-fashioned, but they just don't want to betray each other. They're not mentally unstable. Besides, to be honest, they have nowhere else to go.

Liu Zhengfeng still had to protect the Liu family; his family members were all alive. He couldn't just fake his death and escape, and really abandon everything. He hadn't originally planned to abandon his family after retiring from the criminal life.

He was forced to choose between two options, and he was unwilling to betray his friends. At this moment, it was the best of both worlds. Besides, Shen Qingzhou could protect them.

If, by some chance, the news were to leak, they wouldn't be afraid of ordinary people, but they would be no match for masters like Dongfang Bubai and Zuo Lengchan. Naturally, someone with a higher position would be needed to protect them.

The reason for this choice is that Tianxia Escort Agency is particularly suitable. They don't believe that Shen Qingzhou really uses them as ordinary escorts, or at most as hidden experts. To be honest, it's much easier to make a living in the escort industry than in the martial arts world.

As for Fuwei Escort Agency, it was because Lin Zhennan couldn't handle the situation, but Tianxia Escort Agency didn't have that problem; Shen Qingzhou was a renowned expert in the world.

"There's no need to elaborate on this matter. Both of you are top-notch experts. With your addition, the escort agency will be even more powerful," Shen Qingzhou said.

There was no empty politeness; that was his purpose: to make up for the disappointment of watching TV dramas and, moreover, to strengthen the security detail.

These two people seem trustworthy, so Shen Qingzhou doesn't need to worry about them causing trouble. Even if they do, he can easily eliminate them.

"As for escorting the young lady, I still need to go to Luoyang. But you can decide for yourselves where you want to be," Shen Qingzhou said.

"That's how it should be, but it's too much trouble for the chief镖头 (chief镖头 is a person who is very good at escorting people). After all, Linghu Chong knew that Shen Qingzhou was going to escort Qu Feiyan, so it would be unreasonable for him not to go at all."

Although the two trusted Linghu Chong, they didn't intend to tell too many people about it. If too many people knew, the secret would no longer be a secret.

They were far from the dilapidated temple and didn't know what had happened in between. They wouldn't ask Shen Qingzhou where he was going; there was no need.

The group returned to Hengyang City and didn't come back for a whole night. There were no major incidents, but Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang had taken Qu Feiyan and disappeared. Having operated in Hengyang City for many years, Liu Zhengfeng must have had a backup plan. He just couldn't use it before because the disaster was too great and a lot of people forced him to.

Now that things have gone from overt to covert, unless the two of them expose themselves, it will be difficult to discover any clues.

Shen Qingzhou returned to the Tianxia Escort Agency the next day. There was no major disturbance, as very few people knew about his trip to begin with.

Even Sai Diaochan thought he was in seclusion. It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding it; it was just that knowing some things would only annoy him.

Sai Diaochan was already worried about Shen Qingzhou after learning what had happened at the Liu residence. If she knew that he had saved Qu Yang of the Demonic Sect, who knows what she would think.

"Are you alright?" Sai Diaochan was a little anxious when she saw Shen Qingzhou. He had gotten into a fight yesterday and went into seclusion afterward. She thought he was injured.

"What could possibly happen? Nobody's bothering you, is they?" Shen Qingzhou said.

"With them around, no one from the escort agency dares to approach me." Sai Diaochan had a giant eagle on her left and a big yellow dog on her right. The big yellow dog was fine, as many people knew it could fight, but most people in the martial arts world didn't know that it was famous in Xi Kingdom, but not many people in the Ming Dynasty had really noticed it.

However, Xiao Hei is terrifying and looks extraordinary. In fact, the most ruthless one is Da Huang. Xiao Hei relies on talent, but Da Huang really knows martial arts and his internal strength is stronger than Shen Qingzhou's. Who can reason with him? The only thing that bothers him is his moves. He only has some instincts, but his powerful internal strength and instincts that are much faster than humans have enhanced his abilities.

“If your martial arts were better, they wouldn’t have to do this,” Shen Qingzhou said, making Sai Diaochan feel sweet inside.

Although Shen Qingzhou didn't say it, his actions—having Da Huang and Xiao Hei protect him—showed that he cared. This man was truly wonderful; he had initially thought that Pinggu County was just a place where things could be managed, but it turned out that he was now one of the most powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, she was a little unhappy. The stronger she was, the more dangers she might face, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't help him; instead, she was likely to hold him back.

"Old Bai, where are Xiao Guo and Xiao Bei?" Upon arriving at the front hall, Bai Zhantang was seen, but Xiao Guo and Mo Xiao Bei were nowhere to be seen.

"Master Mo from Hengshan came early this morning, saying he wanted to teach Xiao Bei martial arts. He tricked her away with a candied hawthorn, but she's just in the side courtyard, so it's alright. Xiao Guo is with her. Are you alright?" Bai Zhantang said.

"It's nothing," Shen Qingzhou said.

"You're so smart. You didn't show up again after you came back. You don't know that Lord Zhang stayed here for most of the day yesterday. It was Xiao Guo who coaxed him to leave. You know, these officials..." Bai Zhantang complained.

"You'll get used to it. Beckham wasn't too scared, was he?"

"No, she's quite interested in these things. If the shopkeeper finds out, it'll be a real problem," Bai Zhantang said.

"Chief镖头, someone has come to pay a visit." Suddenly, someone appeared in front of Shen Qingzhou with a visiting card. Shen Qingzhou understood that they were probably undecided. He had said yesterday that if someone came to visit, he should just send them away.

He defeated Ding Mian and Lu Bai. Although many people were afraid of offending Songshan and dared not approach him, many others did not care. He was not a demonic sect, so many people would definitely come to his door. He simply used the excuse of going into seclusion to actually go to find Liu Zhengfeng.

"Respectfully presented by Shen Bijun of the Shen family of Suzhou." Upon seeing the visiting card, Shen Qingzhou understood why they were hesitant.

Shen Bijun arrived, but not under the name of Wugou Manor; she used the name of the Shen family of Suzhou. The Shen family of Suzhou had more influence with Shen Qingzhou than Wugou Manor, not because the Shen family of Suzhou cared about anyone, but because of his mother. He had to give her face.

"Please," Shen Qingzhou said.

Before long, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Bijun, Lian Chengjin, Xiao Shiyilang, Jia Xin and others appeared, accompanied by some burly men carrying goods. This was their first visit, so naturally they couldn't come empty-handed.

When Shen Qingzhou went to the Shen family in Suzhou, she brought a dowry that surprised the Shen family. Nowadays, the Shen family doesn't have the treasure that Shen Qingzhou has, but Shen Bijun is rich, and her dowry is quite substantial. This time it was just a normal visit, so there was no need for Shen Qingzhou to give such an extravagant gift.

The reason she attracted attention was entirely because of Shen Bijun, who was dressed in full regalia, looking much more glamorous than when she wore white at the Liu residence. Most importantly, she wasn't wearing a veil.

This allowed her to showcase her beauty, enabling her to become the female lead in a world where she is famous for her looks, which naturally led to her current success.

Sai Diaochan was very confident in her looks, but seeing the woman in front of her who seemed to be blessed by heaven and earth, she felt a little ashamed of herself.

She suddenly felt a sense of crisis, but then she remembered that this person was Shen Qingzhou's cousin and that she was already married, so she realized that she was making a big fuss.

"I was ashamed that I did not know that Cousin Bijun was coming today and did not go to greet her." Shen Qingzhou stood up and said. Old Bai was no longer in the hall. After all, this was Shen Qingzhou's family matter and he could not stay there.

As for Sai Diaochan, she didn't leave, which was intentional on her part. However, it seems that Shen Qingzhou didn't say anything. This is just a little bit of Sai Diaochan's scheming.

Shen Qingzhou certainly didn't care. To be honest, he had been in this world for so long and had been with quite a few women, but he was certain that if he were to marry, it would be Sai Diaochan without any surprises.

She has no other merits. Her looks aren't the best, and her personality and martial arts skills might not be the most outstanding. The only thing she has is that she has been with Shen Qingzhou for a long time. When Shen Qingzhou left Qixia Town, she helped him look after the escort agency. That is her merit.

Shen Qingzhou had no intention of getting married. If he were to, it would probably be her. Of course, only he knew this. Sai Diaochan was just trying to integrate into his life. If she knew that he thought this way, she would definitely be very happy.

Shen Qingzhou didn't deliberately hide Sai Diaochan as if he was afraid of others seeking revenge. Mainly, that wouldn't work; the more he tried to avoid suspicion, the more likely others would notice something was wrong.

It's better to do it this way. As for danger, he can only do his best and try to avoid making any enemies.

"I originally planned to make thorough preparations before heading to Qixia Town, but I heard that my cousin Yujing went into seclusion yesterday, so I came to check on you today. I'm glad to see you looking well and all is well." Shen Bijun removed her veil, and her voice, combined with her beauty, was a delight to behold.

"It's nothing. I've just been quite busy these past few days and don't want to get too involved in other matters, so I'm temporarily closing the gate. Now that the Hengshan Sect has entered Hengyang in force, I think Hengyang will return to its former peace in a few days," Shen Qingzhou said.

After Liu Zhengfeng's death, the imperial court launched an investigation, which was in fact a warning to the martial arts world not to cause trouble. In addition, Liu Zhengfeng took all the blame and left. The Liu family wanted to kill him but failed. That was the last chance. Now they could not exterminate him.

The Hengshan Sect was also furious. There was no way to prove that Liu Zhengfeng had colluded with the Demonic Sect, but now that he had taken the blame, Hengshan naturally did not need to avoid suspicion. Mo Da had said that Liu's disciples would be incorporated into Hengshan.

Mo Da lost his junior brother, and fearing that Liu Zhengfeng would be forced to his death, people in the martial arts world looked down on the Hengshan Sect. Although everyone thought Liu Zhengfeng deserved his fate, it was too shameful for you to remain silent.

Under these circumstances, Hengshan naturally mobilized in large numbers, both to vent their anger and to demonstrate their power. Many people in the martial arts world understood that Hengshan dared not offend them now. After leaving Liu's residence, they dispersed and left Hengyang, leaving only a few martial arts figures behind.

"True friends are hard to find, but Master Liu certainly has a magnanimous spirit." Shen Bijun's words made Shen Qingzhou feel a little strange. You've actually empathized with her.

Never mind, considering her behavior of eloping after getting married, this kind of deviating from worldly rules is probably what she's pursuing. I don't understand.

"Brother Xiao, hasn't the Songshan Sect bothered you?" Shen Qingzhou looked at Xiao Shiyilang, who had also taken action.

“Ding Mian and Lu Bai were seriously injured by Brother Shen. They are leaderless and naturally won’t attack me. Even if Zuo Lengchan comes in person, what is there to fear?” Xiao Shiyilang said.

His martial arts skills were already very strong; Ding Mian and the others didn't really take him seriously. His martial arts were at the level of a sect leader, or even higher.
