Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

What is going on now?

The moonlight guides the selection screen for attendants, and clearly, there's a flying bird in the background; she should know Zuo Chang's true identity.

Why is it that now it's as if you don't know Zuo Chang at all?

Is this Feiniao feigning ignorance, or is the trigger condition of the moonlight guidance, which doesn't actually require knowing about Zuo Chang's existence?

Zuo Chang forced himself to calm down and, after careful analysis, concluded that General Jianli was feigning ignorance.

The second time you use Moonlight Guidance, two more followers become available.

First was Kumārajīva.

There was no change before or after; he simply appeared on the list because he knew of Zuo Chang's existence.

same.

Seeing the flying birds, one must have already seen through Zuo Chang's true colors!

Is it...

Zuo Chang glanced at Butler Wang and thought to himself, "Feiniao is still protecting me! She said she would tear me to pieces, but she's still thinking about my safety. Even though she's inwardly turbulent, she still has to restrain herself in front of Butler Wang and doesn't want to reveal my identity..."

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? I owe her so much!"

Zuo Chang was feeling self-satisfied, while Jian Li was secretly laughing to himself.

She picked up the teacup in front of her, raised her sleeve to cover it, and took a small sip.

Her golden eyes, identical to Mayumi's, were icy cold as she stared intently at Zuo Chang: "General, you must be very confused right now, right? Why would your ex-wife cooperate with someone who is clearly exploiting your reputation? Ah... Think about it, question it, be as doubtful and remorseful as you can! I will make you hesitate, I will make you lose sleep and appetite, the humiliation and pain you inflicted on me... I will repay you now!"

"You will soon discover that only with my support can you defeat Qian Wuyi. You will have no choice but to reveal your identity to me and personally admit that you are General Tianwang!"

"Of course I will help you, since I still remember your kindness. But... I won't help you easily."

"When apologizing, you must dogeza (a deep bow), that's our Japanese custom! You need to show your sincerity!"

The thought of the Heavenly King General kneeling before her made Miri Asuka involuntarily clench her legs.

Just thinking about it...

It made her legs tremble with excitement!

A brief silence fell over the living room; the atmosphere seemed somewhat tense.

Seeing that the other two remained silent, Steward Wang immediately introduced Zuo Chang's identity to General Jianli.

Zuo Chang picked up the conversation and said, "General Jianli, you are the wife of the Heavenly King General. I believe you must know some untold stories. May I have the honor of interviewing you?"

Jianli shook her head and said, "To be honest, I'm not afraid you two will laugh at me... Although I am the Heavenly King's ex-wife, I don't have a deep relationship with the General. I am old and past my prime, and the General is not fond of me. There is little affection between us, only mutual benefit."

Zuo Chang shifted uncomfortably.

What happened to this woman?

Unwilling to be slandered, he immediately pointed to a painting on the wall and recited the poem on it: "If not seen on the Jade Mountain, then met under the moon on the Jade Terrace! General Jianli, the Heavenly King once wrote this line for you. You say he disliked you for being old and faded, isn't that inappropriate?"

Butler Wang also said, "That's exactly right! Let's not talk about back then, even now—Mr. Zuo, what do you think of General Li?"

Zuo Chang looked at her firm, fair skin and said, "To put it bluntly, you're as beautiful as a fairy!"

Jianli looked at Zuo Chang, a smile playing on her lips.

She tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mr. Zuo thinks I'm very beautiful, but the Heavenly King doesn't think so. You want me to tell you some untold stories, but I can't. The past is like smoke, the only thing I can remember... is that the Heavenly King doesn't like to bathe, snores when he sleeps, and went bald early—"

"Boom!"

Before Li Fei Niao could finish speaking, Zuo Chang slammed his fist on the table.

After a sharp thud, everyone in the room looked at him.

Seeing the smile on her lips, she asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Zuo? Why are you pounding the table? Do you think what I said was wrong?"

Zuo Changzhen wanted to say: If you can't say something, you don't have to. But spreading rumors is never right, is it?

What do you mean by not liking to shower and snoring in bed? You're just an ex-wife, what do you know?

Have we slept together?

Really are……

You're just spouting nonsense!

Zuo Chang forced himself to speak and said, "What you just said... is very valuable, I'm quite shocked. I didn't bring any paper or pen today, so let's reschedule the interview!"

Jianli smiled and nodded: "I will make time, Mr. Zuo, then we can have a detailed and thorough discussion."

Before Zuo Chang could respond, she stood up and dismissed him: "It's almost time. Steward Wang, please inform Lord Qian that I will be there on time."

"Yes, yes... General, we'll be leaving now. Farewell, farewell."

Miss Ryoko led the way and saw Zuo Chang and Butler Wang out.

Butler Wang stood at the door, frowning, and said, "I never expected General Tianwang to be this kind of person! Snoring is one thing, but not bathing is just too slovenly! And he's balding early—Mr. Zuo, what do you mean by 'early'?"

Zuo Chang didn't even look up: "Died young."

Die young?

After a moment's thought, Steward Wang said, "To say he died young is indeed true. General Tianwang was like a shooting star, streaking across the long night and disappearing just as quickly!"

"Yes."

Zuo Chang casually agreed.

The previous negotiations were enough for him to realize—

Asuka really knew his identity.

Moreover, she harbored resentment and seemed to be struggling with herself.

But Zuo Chang still had no idea what she specifically wanted to do.

He turned and asked, "Steward Wang, what does Lord Qian want me to do at the banquet for General Jianli?"

Butler Wang shook his head: "I don't know either... We'll find out when we get there. Mr. Zuo, the car is over there, let's go!"

Zuo Chang no longer refused: "I'll go, it's better to obey than to be too respectful."

Thank you Ren Fanghua and Shi Chi for the donations!

There will be another update in the evening.

Chapter 100: No matter how much you give, it's useless

Marvin is dead.

Since the news was confirmed, Qian Wuyi has not said a word.

He went about his daily routine and work as usual, his face showing only calm. While Zuo Chang and Blood Rose were locked in a passionate embrace last night, Qian Wuyi was working overtime as usual, handling government affairs.

There was a knock on the office door. Qian Wuyi stopped writing and looked up, but the door remained closed for a long time.

Suddenly, a wave of sorrow washed over him, and Qian Wuyi remembered that Ma Wen was dead.

Marvin's assistant, Yang Tao, took over his job. Marvin would open the door directly after knocking, because he knew Qian Wuyi wouldn't mind, and he would only come in to ask for instructions when necessary.

Yang Tao...

They haven't developed a tacit understanding yet.

Qian Wuyi put down his pen and leaned back in his chair: "Come in."

The door opened, and a square-faced man entered. He stepped forward and said, "Lord, Lord Ma Wu has been rescued. He is still unconscious, but he is out of danger and should be fine."

"Ha ha!"

Qian Wuyi suddenly smiled, startling Yang Tao.

He hurriedly looked up, then quickly looked down again.

Qian Wuyi laughed and said, "Yang Tao, this time I really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, I suffered a huge loss! Alas, Ma Wen died tragically, Ma Wu was seriously injured... I, Qian Wuyi, have lost one and a half of my right arms, and the Sky City instance has disappeared!"

"A while ago... I lost four dungeon records, one of which was a crucial Ancient Battlefield!"

"What an unlucky year!"

Qian Wuyi uttered complaints, but his tone didn't betray any embarrassment.

Yang Tao was a little nervous, and he quickly said, "Lord City Lord, there is no need to worry. This is just a small setback in your great journey. The situation in 96511 is still under your control!"

"Yes, as things stand, I still have the advantage. However, I must be careful; this series of setbacks is a reminder that I must work even harder."

Money was useless; his eyes gleamed with greed.

He continued, "First and foremost, I have to abstain from sex."

Abstaining from pornography?!

Yang Tao was taken aback, recalling the recent rumors: "You mean... Blood Rose?"

"Yes, it's her. Pass on my orders: from this day forward—no more flowers are needed, and the grand birthday banquet prepared for Blood Rose need not be arranged. I need to focus my energy on more important matters; I have no time for romance and sentimentality!"

"The city lord is wise!"

Yang Tao felt relieved and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As Marvin's right-hand man, Yang Tao knew a lot of inside information. For example, when Qian Wuyi wanted two Rings of Inheritance, it was Yang Tao who was in charge of "collecting" materials from various adventure groups.

He was initially worried, but now that he saw Qian Wuyi had come to his senses, he felt relieved.

He smiled and said, "Lord Qian, you've finally come to your senses. Your subordinate... is extremely gratified!"

"I've figured it out. Blood Rose is indeed beautiful, but there are countless beauties in the world, and she is just one of them. Her only unique feature is that countless people say she is the Heavenly King General's concubine, but what is the result? She is a virgin!"

Qian Wuyi shook his head listlessly.

He continued, "I was blinded by my own limited perspective before, how ridiculous and shallow I was. If I hadn't suddenly learned that General Misato was still alive, and that he was right next to me in 96511... haha! I don't know how much longer I would have remained so foolish!"

"?"

Yang Tao looked exasperated.

He had a deep suspicion about why Lord Qian suddenly felt so bored, but he dared not ask.

He handed over a document and said solemnly, “Lord City Lord, we have just received a joint report from three deputy directors of the Justice Bureau. They claim that Director Liang of the Justice Bureau is corrupt, morally depraved, and engaged in money-for-power transactions, and has committed serious dereliction of duty! This is the material they submitted, which I have already read... If it is all true, the evidence is conclusive.”
