Chapter 174: Falling Stars (Part ) (Updated)

"Congratulations, senior!"

"The flying sword was launched successfully and the crisis was successfully resolved!"

In a shabby little tavern not far from Taibai Tower, a deep and magnetic voice congratulated.

"But...Excuse me, Senior, why do we have to meet here?"

The person who spoke was an elegant middle-aged man in white clothes. He frowned and pursed his thin lips as he spoke, with a hint of disgust.

It's no wonder that people dislike it. The lighting in this small tavern is dim, and the tables and chairs are covered with a thick layer of dirt and grease, and they are all stained.

He was dressed in white and felt very awkward, neither standing nor sitting.

"Because we can see Taibai Tower from here." The other person was an old man in cloth with a round belly. When he opened his mouth, he made smacking sounds accompanied by chewing.

"Why don't you go to Taibai Tower? That's yours, senior..."

"That was the past," the old man waved his hand disdainfully. However, because the place was too small, his greasy hand almost rubbed against the man in white, frightening him so much that he shrank to the side. "It's worse than this little tavern now."

The man in white clothes disagreed. He took out a cushion, put it on the stool and sat down. The old man shook his head at his conceited look.

"You too, why do you wear this white clothes to show off every day? It will get dirty if you are not careful. Look at me, it's so convenient." The old man said, wiping the oil off his hands with his already greasy collar.

Seeing this scene, the man in white's brows twitched, but he didn't dare to complain about his senior.

"Forget it, Xiao Hanzi, I won't tease you anymore."

"After all, our Hanshan Jun has been a gentleman in white for more than 40 years. He has become a role model for other noble men in white in Chang'an." The old man said with a smile.

Han Shanjun raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Now, I'm afraid I have to give up my position..."

"Oh, I heard there's a boy called Wen Ning, he looks really good in white clothes."

"...Yes, Senior is still so well-informed."

"When you get old, it's boring to do nothing. You might as well eat, drink and listen to gossip." The old man took a bite of roast chicken and a sip of wine, and said vaguely, "I heard that the boy has full spiritual value? Have you ever thought of looking for him?"

"No, I don't see any potential in him." Han Shanjun said coldly.

If someone was listening, they would be greatly surprised. Who would have thought that Wen Xuanning, who was of full spirituality, was a person without potential in Hanshanjun's words.

"Interesting, interesting." The old man laughed, "Then I'll introduce you to someone with potential."

"Look, that girl!" He pointed a greasy finger out the window.

Hanshanjun looked in the direction he was pointed and saw a petite girl walking out of the door of Taibai Tower and walking quickly towards another friend who was obviously waiting for her.

This girl always looks familiar to me.

"What's wrong with this girl?" He couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Someone just set a trap for her. Fortunately, she was smart and took the other person's strange thing. She really lost both the wife and the army." The old man laughed.

"What else?" Han Shanjun knew that the old man would not think there was potential based on this alone.

"Oh, and she's a ghostbender."

"Also, she just went to Xiaoxiang Tower."

The old man looked at Han Shanjun's eyes that widened instantly, and nodded, "Yes, she has a strange aura of disaster, and she went to Dongting Qiuyue."

"From Chang'an to Dongting Autumn Moon in Mobei?" Hanshan Jun found it hard to believe.

"I don't know how she did it, but it means she has the qualities we all want..." The old man narrowed his eyes, "So shouldn't you get in touch with her?"

"Yes." Hanshan nodded and watched the girl in the distance get on the cloud sedan chair. She happened to be facing this side, and he finally saw her clearly.

"This, isn't this Nangong's student?" Han Shanjun finally remembered where he had seen him.

"Oh? Have you had contact with them?" the old man asked curiously. He didn't expect these guys to be so quick.

"Yes, Nangong has already told us that if we pass the imperial examination, we can try to win him over."

"That's good. You guys better keep an eye on it. Don't miss it or get dragged away by others..."

"Yes, don't worry, senior." Han Shanjun said seriously.

"The situation is changing. This time, the reverse purification is a declaration of war on us..."

Han Shanjun smiled bitterly: "Yes... We have already expected this and have made preparations." "It's not enough, we need more young forces." The old man shook his head and sighed, "We are old, our brains are rigid, and we can no longer jump out of this chessboard..."

"We can only introduce new pieces, revitalize the game from the outside, and find a way to break the deadlock..."

After the old man finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp and placed the jar heavily on the table, making a dull sound that sounded particularly loud and domineering in the empty little tavern.

Hanshan Jun was intimidated by the old man's aura and didn't say much.

Suddenly, the old man remembered something and changed the subject: "You saw the scene just now, right?"

"What...what?" Hanshan Jun could hardly keep up with the old man's thoughts.

"That's the scene where I just flew my sword thousands of miles away!"

"...I've seen it." Han Shanjun wanted to say that he didn't want to squat on the nearby roof and look at such a lazy flying sword.

"That's good. Remember to draw me handsome."

"……it is good."

"Isn't it popular to have a cold and arrogant swordsman? Help me make one."

"it is good……"

……

After returning to Yunxianju, Liu Sheng said good night to Wang Dongdong and went back to the west wing where she was staying. She quickly washed up and fell on the bed exhausted.

She had decided that from today until the day of the imperial examination, she would never leave this yard!

If you listen carefully to Senior Sister Lin Shuying, nothing will happen.

However, I don’t know how Wen Weilan is doing.

If something happened to Wen Weilan, could she still concentrate on taking the exam?
Liu Sheng took out the spiritual message and saw that Wen Weilan still hadn't replied to her message, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Sister, are you still thinking about big sister?" Ling Xiaoshu popped up, lay beside Liu Sheng, tilted his head and asked with blinking eyes.

"Hmm... I don't know what she's going to do..." Liu Sheng frowned, "That's a calamity monster, and there are also monsters that are second only to calamities. I don't know how many other levels of monsters there are..."

“And he doesn’t reply to messages.”

[Maybe she is just in a place where spiritual communication is cut off.] The voice of the world is always rational and calm.

"You mean? A monster?" Liu Sheng became even more panicked.

【Think about all the things that happened today and connect them together. 】

The work that the slovenly old man in Taibai Tower talked about, and his flying sword...

Meteor in the northwest...

"A large defense formation will be set up at the border, and spiritual communication will not be allowed outside the border... So what you mean is that she is in Mobei?"

[Yes, the Xiaoxiang Tower in Mobei is in Sudan City, and the painting hanging on it is the "Dongting Autumn Moon". Dongting Autumn Moon is specifically responsible for large-scale transactions. I think the reason why there are so many strange things there is also because of the trade fair. ]

"Yes, the monster we hunted last time is still being purified and has not been sold yet. Wei Lan should be attending the trade fair." Liu Sheng nodded suddenly.

[The might of the flying sword is enough to deal with all the strange things we have seen. Wen Weilan is safe now.]

"How do you know it's a flying sword and not a meteor?"

[In your world, there are no real shooting stars. ]

"Why?" Liu Sheng felt that this sentence was very important and felt heavy in his heart.

[Under the sky, it is impossible to describe. 】

"Riddler, why do you know so much?"

[All information already exists in your mind. Some of it is directly obtained through conversations, texts, and images, and some exists in the background sound of your life, such as the conversation between Wen Weilan and Cuicui, the casual glance at the roadside picture, and the whispers of passers-by. It’s just that your brain thinks it is useless, so it does not process this messy information and stores it deep in your memory.]

【And I can dig these memories out from deep within and deduce them. 】
