The Great Seminary

Chapter 426 Let nature take its course
Kunlun and Xiaque are two lands ruled by the supreme human race.

Let alone the nobles with high status, even ordinary people are born with the feeling that they are superior to others.

When facing so-called 'outsiders,' no matter how formidable they are, they are not intimidated.

For example, Zhang Gui just displayed such terrifying supernatural powers.

If this happened elsewhere and was seen by ordinary people, they would certainly be afraid, even if they didn't show respect.

Unless someone is insane, no one would act rudely or obnoxiously for no reason, simply because they feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Gui understood this principle, but a thought flashed through his mind, seemingly unconvinced.
"In my past life, I never stepped into the gates of the government office in Beidu. The coachman was a political expert."

Haidu lives in a humble dwelling less than ten steps wide, and the girl selling bags loves to talk about luxury.

In his entire life, this spectator in Kunlun has never killed a single Earth Demon insect. Now, in front of me, the old man who has killed countless hundreds or thousands of Earth Demons, we're going to have a death match.

Nothing could be more absurd than this in the multiverse; how similar human nature is…

A faint, disdainful smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth as he spoke loudly:
"You are all born lucky, born in Kunlun, and under the supreme protection of the Queen Mother of the West."

As long as one does not act rashly, one can remain safe and sound even in a time of great strife.

The cruelty and terror of the Hundred Demon Races are nothing more than topics of conversation for you.

They went to the "Demon Fighting Arena" to watch a few deadly battles, like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them, just to watch the excitement and then arrogantly gossip.

That's utterly ridiculous.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was carried by the gentle breeze to the ears of the spectators, causing a stir.

After Zhang Gui stirred things up with his 'stick,' he didn't care about the wins, losses, or lives of the tough young men on the field. He whispered to Zhen Ciyun, "Let's go."

He quietly took her delicate hand and strode away.

The two left the arena and walked side by side for a while. Zhen Ciyun then said thoughtfully:
"Guigui, if you want to take the 'villain' route and make a name for yourself in Kunlun..."

"Where did you get the idea that I want to make a name for myself by taking advantage of a bunch of self-important, brainless idiots who don't even know their own worth?"

Zhang Gui pursed his lips and interrupted Zhen Ciyun, "Besides, although I am now considered to have shown my first signs of success in the 'underground world' of Dongzhou."

But in this era of great contention, there are countless talented and outstanding individuals, and I am likely to find those who are one, two, or even three or four levels above me.

Let's just have some fun for now, leave a starting point for a 'story,' and that'll be enough.

"So that's how it is. You want to take the 'gray snake and grass line hidden for thousands of miles' route."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Ciyun looked enlightened and nodded slightly.

But because of the little bit of 'attention' Xi Wangmu had just given her, she couldn't be sure of her lover's true feelings at all.
The two of them were simply 'acting' as naturally and spontaneously as possible.

Each is driving their own imagined 'plot'.
"In times of great contention, the duration has ranged from a century to a few decades in history. This is just the beginning, and it is right to let things rise slowly."

"Yes, and besides, the limelight I'm getting now isn't really mine and it won't get me anything in return."

"What, is the young lord Xia Que Qizhen Yao, whom you're currently relying on, not 'magnanimous' enough...?"

They pretended to hang out together until nightfall, when Zhang Gui and Zhen Ciyun, as they had done in the previous days, went their separate ways.

One of them was transferred back to the 'Guanyin Temple' of Suixifang.

The other returned to 'Fu'anju' in Lingzhifang. The moonlight was bright.

Zhang Gui drew water from the well in the courtyard and washed himself.

He entered the upper room of the "Jiajiu" building and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Close your eyes and pretend to be practicing meditation.

In reality, he pondered deeply for a while, trying to figure out how to deal with the potential 'attention' from the Queen Mother of the West during his time in Kunlun.

Ultimately, it was determined that the supreme power was simply beyond his ability to counter, and he could only let things take their natural course.

So he simply changed from sitting to lying down and drifted off into a deep sleep, ignoring everything else.

Early the next morning, a servant knocked on Zhang Gui's door.

"Lord Chanyang, Lord Su invites you to have breakfast."

"This is the first time I've been specially invited to breakfast. Doctor Su, are you worried I'll be late for the young master's gathering?" Zhang Gui stood up, stretched, and said with a smile.
Go tell him.

Although I am usually lazy, I will not let you down when it matters.

After washing up, I went to the restaurant without delaying anything.

Hearing his rambling and bizarre words, the servant casually replied, "Yes," and turned to leave.

He hurried to the entrance of the 'Fu'anju' restaurant, but did not go to see Su Hui to give a reply.

Instead, they waited right at the door.

Only when Zhang Gui's figure came into view did he push open the door, lower his head, and go inside.

“Caiyangbo has arrived.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Hui stood up and went to greet him, "Has Tatsuoka arrived?"

"Here he comes, here he comes!" Zhang Gui strode into the restaurant and said with a smile.
“It’s a real sin that I haven’t seen Lord Su for two or three days even though we’re staying at the same inn.”

Today is a crucial day, I really need to do my best to perform well.

Su Hui wanted this promise, and nodded contentedly.

"Attending as the esteemed Lord of the Chuangyang clan already adds a touch of prestige to the young lord."

As they spoke, the two entered the 'inner platform' covered by a gauze curtain.

Seeing that the room was empty, Zhang Gui set up his chair, sat down on the straw mat, and asked:

"Where are Young Master Zhenyao, Fairy Shen, the Dragon King, and Grand Chancellor Lingzhen?"

"Do you think everyone laughs and jokes like you?" Su Hui said, pouting.
"They went out to look for a friend last night and haven't come back at all."

The two had known each other for quite some time. Zhang Gui was always carefree, and Su Hui was not a pretentious person in private either.

Therefore, they developed some acquaintance, and although they still spoke very formally in public.

But in private, he is much more casual.
