Fairy, help me cultivate.

Chen Yao felt that he was infected by them.

"Immortal, what do you want us to do?"

Someone asked.

The Golden Dragon Ancestor shook his head: "It's not about what I want you to do, it's about what you want to do."

"We must survive!"

We have to get out of this awful place!

"We...we want to overthrow these nobles!"

The Golden Dragon Ancestor looked around, staring at almost every face: "Where you go is really the same."

Some people fell silent again.

"If you want to fight for the life you deserve, you must fight for the power you deserve. Remember, you are water. A cup of water can be wasted, a basin of water can be squandered, but a lake, a great river, or a vast ocean can drown all those who plot against it, including immortals!"

Chen Yao saw some people trembling.

"We...can kill immortals?"

Ancestor Jinlong nodded firmly: "As long as there are enough people, as long as there are enough people!"

"We must kill those nobles!"

People became enthusiastic.

"We must win over our fellow countrymen!"

Chen Yao looked at the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

The Golden Dragon Ancestor smiled with satisfaction: "Go! Go to those dark alleys, go to those filthy places that nobles are afraid to set foot in, go and call out, go and incite, go and unite the forces that belong to you!"

With a wave of his sleeve, he sprinkled out countless golden liquids, which rained down on people's heads and faces.

"You are doing this for yourselves. Only when people strive and fight for themselves can they unleash their unlimited potential."

Cheers erupted throughout the tower.

An hour later, Chen Yao and Jin Long left Jinchang City in a carriage.

Why aren't you saying anything?

The Golden Dragon Ancestor asked Chen Yao.

"I'm wondering if it's too cruel to incite these mortals who are as weak as children in the face of immortals? And, can they really make a difference?"

Chen Yao asked what was on her mind.

The Golden Dragon Patriarch looked at him and said after a while, "Do you think I'm inciting them?"

"Isn't that right?"

Chen Yao's tone was somewhat aggressive.

The Golden Dragon Ancestor smiled and said, "Child, I am only giving them hope. Hope needs to be nurtured by pain and sacrifice, but hope is also like a spark. Even a tiny spark can spread across the entire wasteland as long as the wind picks up."

"There is no revolution without blood and fire, nor is there a support that can stand forever. Everyone, including you and me, sometimes has to face the bloody reality of life. It is not good to bury your head and wait to die like they are now. You have to stand up, seize every possible force and opportunity, and throw a punch at the bloody reality of life. Even a seemingly insignificant punch may unleash earth-shattering power."

“Child, this is my life. I was just an ordinary person back then, no different from them.”

Jinlong smiled at Chen Yao, his smile was very complicated.

Chen Yao hadn't expected the Golden Dragon Ancestor to be so eloquent, but he was indeed persuaded by him.

It is never as good to place hope on yourself as on others. As long as there is hope, hope will condense into faith.

Others may not understand, but Chen Yao, who comes from another world, does.

He nodded to the Golden Dragon Ancestor: "Let's try our best not to make them sacrifice too much!"

The Golden Dragon Ancestor shook his head: "With me here, it won't happen. I've already protected that tower with an array, so the sound can't reach outside, and neither can those people. Everything will be done quietly."

On the second night, Chen Yao and Jin Long attended the banquet again.

After getting to know some of the noble children and chatting for a while, Chen Yao went upstairs to the second floor.

Not long after they reached the second-floor terrace, Jiang Bailin arrived gracefully.

"If you come right up to me the moment you see me, it's bound to arouse suspicion."

He reminded Jiang Bailin.

Jiang Bailin disagreed: "I'm just creating topics for you and increasing your attractiveness to others. This way, many noble children will take the initiative to strike up a conversation with you."

Chen Yao had to admit that Jiang Bailin's idea was correct.

He glanced at Lü Ke in the corner of his eye: "What did she say?"

Jiang Bailin knew he was asking how to use Lü Ke, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Just say that the Fang family is using me to contact the outside world and to communicate with... the Li family."

"Just say that one sentence?"

Chen Yao didn't understand.

Jiang Bailin nodded: "The Li family operates in the field of weapon crafting. She'll understand as soon as you mention it. The Fang family bypassed Jinchang City to contact the outside world and bought magical artifacts, which means they're preparing for war. When the time comes, the entire upper echelons of Jinchang City will be shaken."

After saying that, Jiang Bailin turned and left. Chen Yao leaned quietly against the railing of the terrace, waiting for Lü Ke's servant to come over.

But after waiting for half an hour, none of Lü Ke's servants came.

Lu Ke sat leisurely at her usual table, with her attendant standing quietly behind her, seemingly oblivious to Chen Yao.

Not quite right.

Chapter 142 Gossip Girl

Chen Yao was wondering whether he should go over and inquire, and just as he was about to take a step, someone came up in front of him.

She was a woman dressed in a long black robe, about eighteen or nineteen years old. Her appearance was not outstanding, but a row of freckles across her face below her eyes was somewhat noticeable.

"one person?"

The woman had lively eyes and brows, and she looked him up and down.

During the conversation with other noble children just now, Chen Yao already knew who this person was.

It could be said that among the younger generation at the entire banquet, there were two people who were the least popular.

One was the arrogant Lü Ke, and the other was Song Qin, who was known as "Jinchang's most gossipy person".

But then Chen Yao had a sudden inspiration and laughed, "Yes! What brings Fairy Song here to see me?"

"You know me?"

Song Qin's eyes shone even brighter.

Chen Yao nodded: "Song Xianzi's hospitality is well-known."

Song Qin nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Chen Yao's compliment: "Not bad, not bad."

She sized Chen Yao up and down, then leaned closer to him mysteriously and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me why you two get along so well? Did you know each other before?"

Chen Yao chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? I'm from out of town, how would I know about Fairy Fang?"

Song Qin raised an eyebrow at him: "That might fool others, but it's not enough to fool me. I already found out that Fairy Fang didn't grow up in Jinchang City."

Chen Yao was surprised that this woman was actually quite skilled, managing to find out this: "I don't believe it, Fairy Song is just bluffing me!"

Song Qin immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "Why don't you believe me!"

She looked around, clearly eager to share, and leaned closer to Chen Yao again: "I overheard my elders talking to Madam Lü, that's how I found out! I'm telling you, but you can't tell anyone else!"

Chen Yao thought to himself, "Now that you know, the whole of Jinchang City might already know."

No wonder Jiang Bailin had him and Lü Ke spread that kind of news; it could be said that he turned the tables on them.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

He feigned surprise and doubt.

"Isn't that right?"

Song Qin nudged his arm: "Hey, I've told you a secret, now it's your turn to tell me!"

"I really just met Fairy Fang, as for why we clicked so well..."

Chen Yao deliberately stopped talking, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

This really got Song Qin very anxious: "Tell me quickly!"

Chen Yao pretended to hesitate, and after a while, as if she had made a great decision, she said, "Fine, it's okay to tell you, but you must keep it a secret!"

Song Qin nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Definitely, definitely, go ahead and tell me."

“As you know, my Lei family is located outside the city, and we have closer ties with the forces outside the city.”

"Yes, that's why the nobles in Jinchang City are not very willing to associate with you. Hehe, but I won't look down on you, don't worry."

Chen Yao nodded: "Since the nobles in the city are unwilling to play with us, we naturally have to find our own way. So my uncle recently contacted a batch of magical artifacts, intending to resell them. Fairy Fang seemed to be testing me on this just now."

Song Qin's eyes lit up, and her expression became slightly serious.

Chen Yao glanced at Lü Ke in the corner, seemingly casually: "Just now, Fairy Lü seemed quite interested in my conversation with Fairy Fang..."

Immediately, he feigned a drastic change in expression: "Can Fairy Lü hear other people's whispers?"

Song Qin's expression also changed: "No, it shouldn't be... Uh, I've bothered you long enough. I have something to do. See you next time."

She ran off like the wind, circled the second-floor terrace a few times, chatted with several people at different tables for a while, and then slowly moved closer to Lü Ke.

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow at her, and she leaned close to Lu Ke's ear and whispered something.

Although Lu Ke didn't look in Chen Yao's direction, Chen Yao could feel Lu Ke's intentional or unintentional glances.

He guessed that he had used Song Qin to spread false information, so Jin Long and Jiang Bailin's plan to make the nobles of Jinchang City nervous because of the Fang family's preparations for war should be considered a success in the first step.

After chatting with Lü Ke, Song Qin walked over with a mysterious expression.

Chen Yao looked at her.

Song Qin walked past him, and after a while she came back, clearly having received some secret information that she felt compelled to share.

"Fairy Song, we meet again."
