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

Chapter 529 [Two in One]

"Brother Xiao is quite magnanimous," Shen Qingzhou praised Xiao Shiyilang, who said he wouldn't be afraid even if Zuo Lengchan came in person.

After Xiao Shiyilang finished speaking, he looked at Shen Bijun. Seeing that she wasn't looking at him, he was a little disappointed. He had said this to show off his manly spirit, but his flirtatious glances were like throwing a blind man's eye—Shen Bijun didn't see them.

“This matter concerns me, and I will not shy away from it,” Shen Bijun said. One reason Xiao Shiyilang intervened was because she genuinely disapproved of it, but the main reason was that Shen Bijun wanted him to save people.

Although Shen Qingzhou enjoys seeking thrills, he won't deliberately shift the blame.

“That’s right, I’ll tell my brother when I get back. Knowing his personality, he definitely won’t stand by and watch this happen. If the Songshan Sect causes trouble, my Wugou Manor is not one to be trifled with,” Lian Chengjin said.

To be honest, most people in the martial arts world would find it unacceptable for the Songshan Sect to destroy the Liu family. However, they didn't want to offend Songshan, and more importantly, they didn't want to be implicated in the crime of colluding with the Demonic Sect. It wasn't worth it.

However, there are many people who can't stand by and watch. If someone takes the lead, there will be no shortage of people who speak out for justice. It would be fine if the Liu family were destroyed, but now that they have been recognized as disciples by Hengshan, there are people to support them, so there's really nothing to worry about.

Currently, the Songshan forces are being countered by Hengshan, and top experts include Shen Yujing against Zuo Lengchan. Xiao Shiyilang is also very famous. To be honest, the Songshan path is at a disadvantage.

Shen Yujing is a top-tier expert with a wide circle of friends. He is close friends with the Hua family of Jiangnan, Lu Xiaofeng, and others. Wugou Manor and the Shen family of Suzhou are both prominent families in Jiangnan. If we really have to talk about it, without a very reasonable reason, Zuo Lengchan would probably be asking for trouble.

“This matter is not a problem. If Songshan wants to cause trouble, they should come to me first. After all, Ding Mian and Lu Bai were both injured by me. Please take your seats,” Shen Qingzhou said.

He didn't really take this seriously. Mo Da had already taken over everything. Zuo Lengchan must have gone mad to take the initiative to contact Tianxia Escort Agency. Of course, if they had the chance to meet in the future, there would definitely be some discussion, but there was no rush.

"This escort agency is newly built and is indeed a bit small, but the location is quite good, making it convenient for picking up and dropping off goods."

"The headquarters is in Qixia Town. If Cousin Bijun has time, you can go and take a look." Shen Qingzhou led Shen Bijun and the others to look around the escort agency. It was naturally incomparable to Wugou Manor. This escort agency was established a few years ago.

Not to mention this place, even the headquarters of Qixia Town cannot compare to Wugou Manor. Tianji Manor, which is under construction, is more comparable.

“Of course I have to go to my aunt’s place to pay my respects. When are you going back? Why don’t we go together?” Shen Bijun said. She was definitely going to Qixia Town, and today’s visit was a special case.

"That's fine too. I plan to set off in the next day or two," Shen Qingzhou said. After washing his hands of the past, he would send everyone back and then head to Mount Hua.

“Then I’ll wait together,” Shen Bijun said.

"Okay." Shen Qingzhou waited for a while, but no mission appeared. It seems that not every escort mission comes with a mission. Oh well, I can't expect too much.

"Please rest for now, everyone. I'll be right back." As they approached a pavilion, Shen Qingzhou sensed something and said, "You're all here as guests, so please follow my lead."

"That sound is so mournful. It seems the leader of the Hengshan Sect has arrived." After Shen Qingzhou left, everyone was still curious when Xiao Shiyilang suddenly said.

"What was that sound? I didn't hear it. How do you know who it was?" Lian Chengjin asked.

"The sound is controlled with a fine line. In this city of Hengyang, apart from Master Mo Da of Xiaoxiang Night Rain, there is probably no one else who can play the erhu so well," Xiao Shiyilang said.

He was also surprised. The voice was very weak, and he had only just heard it himself. If Shen Qingzhou had also heard the voice before leaving, then his internal strength was much deeper than his own.

However, he also understood that although he had never fought Shen Qingzhou, he had fought Shen Yumen and lost badly. He had also fought Xiaoyao Hou. Although they did not fight to the end, he and Lian Chengbi barely managed to deal with Xiaoyao Hou, and that was after Xiaoyao Hou had been injured.

The fact that Xiaoyao Hou's injuries were inflicted by Shen Qingzhou shows that there is a significant difference in skill level between them.

"Do you think the Hengshan Sect and the Songshan Sect will fight each other?" Lian Chengjin suddenly asked. The Songshan Sect's provocation of Liu Zhengfeng was not just a slap in the face for Liu Zhengfeng, but mainly a blow to the Hengshan Sect.

The Songshan Sect was well-prepared, and the Hengshan Sect could only endure it, after all, who told you to collude with the Demonic Sect? But Liu Zhengfeng was also a military officer in the imperial court and took the blame for everything.

Most importantly, by taking advantage of Songshan's intervention against Mo Xiaobei, Hengshan Sect directly protected Liu's residence, which meant they were now directly confronting each other.

"Probably not. Zuo Lengchan didn't come in person, nor did Master Mo. Only they can represent their respective sects," Xiao Shiyilang said.

“That’s true. Speaking of which, we haven’t seen Linghu Chong, and we don’t know where he went. After all, he saved us, right, sister-in-law? What are you looking at?” Lian Chengjin said.

"It's nothing." Shen Bijun looked away. She saw a woman, a woman walking towards them.

"Madam Lian, Miss Lian, Master Xiao, I had some fruit washed and brought it here for you distinguished guests to enjoy while it's still fresh," Sai Diaochan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Manager Sai." That's how Shen Qingzhou introduced Sai Diaochan just now, but everyone knows that her relationship with Shen Yujing is definitely not simple. When welcoming Shen Bijun just now, an outsider can't just stay in that kind of situation.

Just now, when Shen Qingzhou took them to see the escort agency, Sai Diaochan went to prepare something. Now it's clear that she was preparing some snacks.

"Are these fresh lychees?" Lian Chengjin hadn't thought much of it at first, figuring it was just some candied fruit or dried fruit, but he was a little puzzled when he saw what it was.

“Miss Lian is indeed well-traveled and knowledgeable, as she comes from Jiangnan. There are many people she doesn’t recognize.” Sai Diaochan smiled even more brightly.

To be honest, she was surprised when Shen Qingzhou gave it to her. Lychees are not considered particularly expensive fruits, but that was in the local area. Anything in this era would be extremely expensive if you wanted to go elsewhere.

Especially lychees, which have a shelf life of only two days at room temperature and a week under refrigeration, are much rarer than bayberries, especially since they grow in the Lingnan region.

Even among the prominent families of Jiangnan, it wasn't unusual to eat lychees, but they mostly ate lychee fritters or had secret recipes for preservation. They could get a little bit of fresh lychees, but it was absolutely different from what Sai Diaochan was serving today.

The growing environment of lychees means that no matter how rich you are, unless you live locally, you can't get the best ones, making them very rare. Especially the lychees that Sai Diaochan brought out—these were a system reward for Shen Qingzhou. System rewards are never of poor quality; they are always top-grade varieties.

Just a few days after the Battle of Huiyan Tower, when Shen Qingzhou was rewarded by the system with the "Wanli Duxing Qinggong" (a martial arts skill that allows one to travel ten thousand miles alone), he also received a thousand catties of lychees.

He didn't hold back at all, directly producing over a hundred pounds. It wasn't that he couldn't take out more, but there was a shelf life limit. Even if Shen Qingzhou used his internal energy to preserve it, there was still a big difference compared to what the system could take out. Therefore, for the sake of taste, he ate some and took some.

Each member of the escort agency was given a portion, and the rest were used to entertain Mo Xiaobei and the others. This time, when Shen Bijun came to visit, Sai Diaochan specially went to fetch some food for herself. Shen Qingzhou had given her a larger portion separately, and she had just gone to fetch these things.

The lychees were well preserved, almost indistinguishable from those that Shen Qingzhou had just retrieved from the system.

After all, the blue jade can enhance the medicinal effect. Sai Diaochan put the blue jade directly into the water, and the lychees soaked in the water tasted even better.

However, if the people of Xi Kingdom knew that someone was using the head of a Bolan person just to eat fresh lychees, they would definitely think it was a waste of resources.

Shen Qingzhou knew this, but he didn't care. Let Sai Diaochan do whatever she wanted. He had already given her the Blue Jade, so Shen Qingzhou didn't need it himself. Besides, he still had one in the system.

“I’ve only ever had lychee omelets before. When fresh lychees are transported over, they always say they’re not fresh. Now I know what fresh lychees look like,” Lian Chengjin said.

"I never thought I could taste this good in Hengyang. Even in Lingnan, this is top-notch quality. It's much better than what I had last time," Xiao Shiyilang said.

"Xiao Shiyilang, have you been to Lingnan?" Lian Chengjin asked.

“Of course, it’s completely different from Jiangnan. But even locally, this kind of lychee is very rare.” Xiao Shiyilang was not surprised at all to go to Lingnan. He had eaten and seen it before. Just like Bai Zhantang, he felt the same way when he saw lychees.

"What is this?" Shen Bijun was also surprised, but after seeing Shen Qingzhou's instant noodles, it seemed that this thing was not very special. After all, it was just food. She wasn't in the transportation business, so she didn't have a deep understanding of this kind of thing. What she was looking at was a dog.

"Its name is Dahuang. Chief Escort Shen brought it back from outside," Sai Diaochan said, looking at Dahuang. Dahuang didn't need to appear when she was with Shen Qingzhou. Since Shen Qingzhou went to find Mo Da, Dahuang and Xiao Hei naturally appeared.

Whether she is called Shen Yujing or Chief Escort Shen, in front of others, she would definitely try her best to show closeness to Shen Qingzhou, and might even call him "Master" before leaving. However, since she is not a member of Shen Qingzhou's family, in order to avoid being accused of not knowing etiquette, she can only call him Chief Escort.

Of course, closeness is something that is shown. Shen Qingzhou brought her to greet Shen Bijun and the others, which represents his approval.

"Miss Shen, Master Xiao, Miss Lian, we meet again." After chatting for a while, they talked about the differences between Hengyang and Jiangnan. Sai Diaochan had also been to Suzhou. Then someone else arrived, He Xiaohui. Shen Bijun was immune to the titles. Some called her Madam Lian, and some called her Miss Shen. When they first met, she was still called Miss, and the title had been continued.

"Hall Master He." Everyone recognized her. She came this time to check on Shen Qingzhou's situation. She was different from the others, and her relationship with Shen Qingzhou was also different. She certainly didn't need to announce herself when entering and leaving Tianxia Escort Agency.

"Haha, I originally wanted to greet you all at the ceremony of washing my hands of the family, but too many things happened and I didn't have the chance."

"I was hoping to find another opportunity, but I just heard that you all came to visit Brother Shen, so I came to pay you a visit and reminisce about our past friendship. Manager Sai, you won't be unwelcome, will you?" He Xiaohui said, and then made a joke about Sai Diaochan at the end.

"What are you saying, Master He? It's perfect. I'll have someone prepare a feast. I'll be right back," Sai Diaochan said. She didn't bring Xiao Cui with her, otherwise she wouldn't have had to make the trip.

"Thank you for your trouble," He Xiaohui said, watching Sai Diaochan leave with Dahuang. Looking up, she saw a dark shadow and thought to herself, "That little bastard, he's protected this woman quite well."

The "little bastard" was referring to Shen Qingzhou. Sometimes, even if you know it's wrong, your heart can still be influenced by emotions.

Just like He Xiaohui, she knows that she has nothing to do with Shen Qingzhou in this life, but because they have slept together, naturally, her emotions will lean towards him.

Ultimately, this kind of education involves couples doing things that should only be done by married couples, so naturally, they will be influenced.

Furthermore, the couple's relationship was very harmonious, so harmonious that she couldn't forget it, which was naturally different. Of course, she could still take this matter seriously, but she couldn't help but complain.

She had been in Qixia Town for quite some time and naturally understood that Sai Diaochan was in love with Shen Qingzhou. She was just curious whether Shen Qingzhou had messed with her or not. She couldn't tell, after all, the separation between men and women was still quite strict, and her relationship with Shen Qingzhou was a special case.

"What is that?" He Xiaohui looked up at Xiao Hei. Xiao Shiyilang was very skilled in martial arts and naturally noticed it as well. Xiao Hei was not far away in order to protect Sai Diaochan. Of course, it wouldn't move just because Sai Diaochan moved. It was just flying up to stretch its body without deliberately concealing itself.

"Its name is Xiao Hei, and it's an eagle that Brother Shen captured from the wild," He Xiaohui said. This wasn't a secret; everyone in the escort agencies across the land knew about it.

"I see," Xiao Shiyilang said.

"Master He, this Manager Sai seems to have a close relationship with Shen Yujing. What's his background?" Lian Chengjin suddenly asked. She was naturally outspoken and asked directly.

"Xiao Jin, we can't ruin someone's reputation," Shen Bijun said, displeased.

"Sister-in-law, isn't that true?" Lian Chengjin just wanted to gossip.

"I dare not speak presumptuously about this matter. Brother Shen and Manager Sai have a good relationship. He usually helps Brother Shen with the affairs of the escort agency." He Xiaohui did not want to talk about this. This Lian Chengjin had never been beaten down by society and asked about everything.

However, I can mention some things that everyone already knows. As for Sai Diaochan's feelings for Shen Qingzhou, everyone in Qixia Town knows that, but she can't be with him.

“I think these two are definitely not in that kind of relationship. After all, everyone knows that Shen Yujing practices virginity training, so her reputation won't be ruined.” Lian Chengjin’s words left everyone speechless, and this was his response to Shen Bijun.

"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing this, everyone had strange thoughts. He Xiaohui was thinking to herself, "With Shen Qingzhou's energy, you say he has virginity? Where did his virginity go? If he really did have virginity, they wouldn't have caused such a disaster back then."

As for Shen Bijun, she felt a mix of happiness and discomfort. She was happy that her cousin and this woman hadn't had a relationship, but uncomfortable because it was impossible for them to.
