"Sister, it's not actually me..."
Mu Qing wanted to say that this was not his idea, but Mu Nihuang wouldn't listen and shouted angrily.
"You are not allowed to sleep tonight. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down."
"elder sister……"
"Go now, don't let me do it myself."
Mu Qing was so frightened that he dared not speak any more. He could only hold his head down and go to the ancestral hall with a wronged look on his face.
Mu Qing knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night, so he naturally couldn't attend classes the next day. Zhou Chen also had a relaxing day's rest.
At midnight, Zhou Chen did not fall asleep, but stood in the room with his clothes neatly dressed. He looked around the bedroom where he had lived for only a few days, then placed an envelope on the desk and pressed it with an inkstone.
Carrying the bag that had been packed long ago, he did not hesitate. He pushed open the door, summoned his inner strength, and soared into the air. In just two leaps, he was about to fly out of Prince Mu's Palace.
But just as he was about to jump out of Prince Mu's Palace, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Brother Chen, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Chen's body suddenly stiffened and he fell on the wall. Then he saw Mu Nihuang standing outside the wall.
With a dry laugh, he asked, "Princess, it's so late, you haven't rested yet, are you planning to stay up all night to watch the sunrise like me?"
Mu Nihuang stared at Zhou Chen with her sharp eyes. Even in the dark, Zhou Chen could feel her sharp gaze.
"Do you need to carry such a big bag to watch the sunrise? Brother Chen, I think you are not watching the sunrise, but you really want to leave without saying goodbye, right?"
Zhou Chen knew that it was useless to quibble, so he stopped explaining. After a moment of silence, he said, "Princess, I know it's not right to do this, but I do have reasons to leave. If I have offended you, it's my fault. I apologize."
Mu Nihuang asked in a cold tone: "Brother Chen left at night, is it because Nihuang made Brother Chen feel embarrassed?"
Zhou Chen laughed dryly and said, "What are you talking about, Princess? I admire your beauty so much, how could I feel embarrassed?"
"Brother Chen has been deliberately avoiding me these past few days. Do you really think I can't see it? If I tell you that I want you to stay in Prince Mu's Mansion, will you agree?"
When she said this, Mu Nihuang's voice obviously changed, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
The topic was brought up like this. Zhou Chen was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"It is my honor that the princess thinks highly of me, but I was born a playboy and will not stay in one place forever. Moreover, I am just a man in the world and do not deserve the princess's favor."
"So you deliberately took Qing'er to that kind of place, wanting me to know what kind of person you are, so that I would hate you, right? But don't you think this plan is too absurd?"
Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. He admitted that he took Mu Qing to the brothel to listen to music, and he did it for Mu Nihuang to see, but the courtesan in Ningxiang Pavilion was really fragrant.
"If you keep silent, you will agree. Chen Yu, let me tell you, I, Mu Nihuang, am not someone who can be easily deceived. Your approach will be useless to me. If you really want to reject me, then give me a better reason so that I will completely give up." Mu Nihuang said sternly.
Zhou Chen almost blurted out: "I can't let Xiao down..."
He stopped immediately before he could say the last word. He was so scared that his heart beat faster and he almost fell into Mu Nihuang's trap and said Xiao Shu's name.
Mu Nihuang keenly sensed that what Zhou Chen didn't say was very important, and asked, "You can't let Xiao What down?"
Zhou Chen said: "I already have someone I love, and what I want to say is that I can't let her down."
Mu Nihuang's body trembled, and she looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief. She leaped up and landed less than two meters away from Zhou Chen.
"You said you already have someone you love? You're lying to me."
"I didn't lie to you, I do have someone I love."
"Impossible, you are ranked second on the Langya Young Masters List, which means you are not married..."
Zhou Chen suddenly interrupted: "Not getting married doesn't mean I don't have someone I love."
Mu Nihuang obviously couldn't accept this result. Her breathing became unstable. After a long time, she asked in a hoarse voice, "I want to know, who is she?"
She still held out a glimmer of hope, but it was a reason Zhou Chen deliberately made up just to make her give up.
Zhou Chen saw Mu Nihuang's expression. With Mu Nihuang's intelligence and sensitivity, he knew that if he told a lie, he would most likely be exposed.
"Her name is Gong Yu. I have known her for five years. Whenever I return home from traveling, she is responsible for taking care of me. No matter what I do outside, she will support me unconditionally. So, even if I let everyone down, I will never let her down."
After hearing this, Mu Nihuang's chest rose and fell and her breathing became even more unstable. After a long time, she let out a low growl.
"Go away, I don't want to see you again."
Although Zhou Chen felt a little bit reluctant, he gritted his teeth and quickly disappeared into the night.
He believed that Mu Nihuang would only be sad for a short while. This woman was stronger than most men. His little problem and this person would definitely not affect her for long.
He left so overnight because he was afraid that if he continued to stay with Mu Nihuang, he would get trapped in it. He couldn't let Mei Changsu down.
Sometimes he feels like he is hypocritical, but there are still some bottom lines that must be followed.
Mu Nihuang clenched her hands and clenched her teeth. She didn't care even though her lips were bleeding.
"Chen Yu, Gong Yu, Gong Zi Yu, is this true?"
………………
Two years later!
Two years is neither a long nor a short period of time, and a lot of things have happened in the world.
With the help of Langya Pavilion, Jiangzuo Meilang's name has spread throughout the world in the past two years. With the deliberate publicity of Jiangzuo League, it has even spread to Jinling.
Especially among the princes of Northern Yan, the Sixth Prince, who had the least background, ascended to the throne of the Eastern Palace with the help of Jiang Zuo Meilang.
This immediately stimulated the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, who were competing for the position of Eastern Palace in Daliang, and caused them both to inquire about the information of "the talented scholar, Mei Lang of Jiangzuo", thinking of recruiting Mei Changsu under their command.
Langzhou, headquarters of Jiangzuo League.
In the pavilion, Mei Changsu and Lin Chen sat on the ground, sipping tea.
Lin Chen was still the same as always, dressed casually, with his hair loose, looking like a bohemian and romantic young man.
Mei Changsu was wearing a gray and white high-collared cloth shirt. Although he was the leader of the Jiangzuo League and had no shortage of money, he did not care about his own appearance. He just dressed in any way that made him comfortable and was more concerned about keeping warm.
Lin Chen asked: "Changsu, have you really decided to go to the capital with Xiao Jingrui and the other two young masters?"
Mei Changsu replied slowly: "They are both of noble status and have nothing to do with government affairs, so it is most appropriate for them to go. This matter must have a beginning. If I don't go with them, do they want me to accept the invitation of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu and go to the capital as an advisor?"
Lin Chen worriedly said, "Xiao Jingrui did not participate in the fight for the throne, but his father, Ningguo Hou Xie Yu, did not. Wouldn't it be too risky for you to live directly in Xie's house? Have you discussed this with your junior brother?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 820 Zhou Chen breaks through and returns to Jinling
"Xiaochen, he hasn't been back for two years."
Mei Changsu took a sip of tea, looking a little melancholy.
Zhou Chen hasn't been back for more than two years, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to. Li Gang, Zhen Ping and others are too respectful and restrained to him.
Fei Liu was too young and was just a child in his eyes. Wei Zheng, who was a little better off, also went to Yaowang Valley last year and married Yun Piao Liao, who had been waiting for him for ten years. He now lives in Yaowang Valley.
Lin Chen is a very good friend, but unfortunately, Lin Chen also has Langya Pavilion to manage. It is already good enough for him to come to see him two or three times a year, and he can't accompany him for a long time.
Lin Chen asked in surprise: "He hasn't come back yet? What is this kid doing outside? There has been no news for such a long time. Even when I used the connections of Langya Pavilion, I only occasionally know his location."
Mei Changsu said: "He is not out of contact. He will report to me through the alliance contact point after a while. I guess he is still trying to break through, but he doesn't want us to worry, so he didn't tell us the truth and didn't come back."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it. He has been trying to break through for several years but still hasn't succeeded. This kid is just like you, very stubborn. Little did he know that the more impatient he is, the more problems he will run into. After my father learned about his situation, he sent him messages several times, asking him not to be impatient."
"Alas, he is just like you, both of them are worrying me. I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life to meet you two."
Mei Changsu ignored Lin Chenhua's complaints and said with a smile: "As long as there is news, it is not bad news. Xiaochen is not the kind of impulsive person."
"Forget it, let's get back to the topic just now. I always feel that it is too risky for you to live in Xie's house."
Mei Changsu was very confident: "Don't worry too much. The capital has been preparing for a long time. Even if I live in Xie's house, I can protect myself."
Lin Chen looked worried, but he also knew that Mei Changsu had made up his mind, and it would be useless to persuade him not to go.
"I think you should find a way to contact your junior brother and ask him to go to Jinling with you. I can feel completely at ease with him around."
Mei Changsu nodded: "I have sent messages to all the contact points. As long as he goes to the contact point, he will know my decision. It's not just me, he has also been waiting for this for a long time."
Lin Chen was relieved, and then he smiled and said, "Although Junior Brother is annoying most of the time, I actually agree with his ideas. I think it would be better to just kill Emperor Liang instead of making it so dangerous."
"No nonsense."
Mei Changsu rebuked him in a gentle tone, "Don't say such things in the future. Some things must be completed when he is in power. Otherwise, my father, mother, brother Prince Qi, aunt, and everyone else will have to bear the injustice forever. I believe that for them, innocence is more important than anything else."
Even though he hated Emperor Liang to the extreme for what he did, he never had any thoughts of treason. He also wanted to take revenge on Emperor Liang, but his method was different.
During the reign of Emperor Liang, overturning the verdicts for the Chiyan Army and Prince Qi would not only clear the names of all the dead, but would also cause Emperor Liang to collapse.
A person who values power more than anything else and wants to control everything is finally forced by his subjects to correct his wrong deeds. This is not only a slap in the face, but also a rubbish on his face and nailing him to the pillar of shame forever.
"Well, this is your business. As an outsider, I won't say much."
As they were talking, Li Gang walked in and told Mei Changsu that Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin had arrived at the headquarters.
Mei Changsu nodded and ordered them to be taken to the side hall, and then Lin Chen took Mei Changsu's pulse.
"Your current physical condition is pretty good. It seems that Junior Brother's Pure Yang Art and Fei Liu's Xi Yang Art have had an effect on your body and cold disease. But I have to be honest. With a body like yours, you can't over-expend your energy."
"I can't accompany you to the capital, but I will ask Doctor Yan to go with you. However, I still say that Doctor Yan can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. If you want to take better care of your body, you still have to rely on Junior Brother's Pure Yang Jue internal force. Junior Brother's medical skills are not much worse than mine. With the Pure Yang internal force, he is the best doctor for you."
"I see."
Mei Changsu nodded. For such a big event, he would of course let Zhou Chen go to the capital with him, not for him, but for all of them.
Then Lin Chen took out another bottle of medicine: "Take one pill when you are exhausted. If something unexpected happens, it can save your life. Finally, I will tell you..."
"Okay, okay, I get it. You must invite Xiaochen along. You've said it so many times. I feel like you truly love him, so I'm a little redundant."
"Hey, I wonder why you are so ungrateful. I'm doing this for your sake, but you're complaining. You really take my kindness for granted."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the doctor, whatever you say is right."
…………
On a remote island in Haizhou, a figure sat on top of a cliff, facing the rising sun, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed and five hearts facing the sky.
This person was Zhou Chen. Ever since he left the Southern Territory two years ago, he had been in a bad mood and felt guilty, so he did not return to the Jiangzuo League, but traveled alone in the world.
It's just that he hasn't done anything big in the past two years, and he's been more looking for opportunities for breakthroughs.
Finally, not long ago, when he was watching the sunrise, he suddenly felt a change in his internal energy and he felt something in his heart.
So in the following time, he would wait for the sunrise every day and practice the Pure Yang Technique facing the sunrise. In a blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
Suddenly, Zhou Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes abruptly, then soared into the sky and let out an excited roar.
The whistling sound is long and distant, and it never stops for a long time, just like the sound of spring thunder, which continues without stopping.
He jumped up to a height of about 60 to 70 feet. After landing, Zhou Chen's face was full of joy and he laughed out loud.
The bottleneck that had troubled him for years was finally broken at this moment. His Pure Yang Art finally reached the perfect state, which was also the highest state of the Pure Yang Art, that is, the state of the founder who created the Pure Yang Art.
If he wants to continue to improve, there will be no experience for him to learn from. He can only rely on his own understanding and creation of new paths.
Zhou Chen was filled with admiration in his heart. You know, he had an extraordinary talent given by the system, and it took him ten years to practice the Pure Yang Art to perfection. It can be imagined how talented the ancestor who created the Pure Yang Art from scratch must have been.
Feeling the internal force in Dantian, although it is only 30% more than before, it has become more condensed and the quality is incomparable.
I wouldn’t dare say that he can beat several of his former selves now, but if it’s a one-on-one fight, he can definitely achieve a crushing victory.
After all, this is a low-level martial arts world, not a fantasy world. It is impossible to break through a realm and instantly kill the person in the previous realm. They are all flesh and blood, and victory or defeat is determined by internal strength and experience in moves.
Feeling his body filled with strength, as if evolving, Zhou Chen immediately communicated with the system.
"System, open the panel."
Host: Zhou Chen
attribute
Power: 35
Constitution: 45
Spirit: 33
Agility: 36
Points remaining: 0
Nowadays, not only has his physical fitness fully recovered to its peak, but it has also been improved by leaps and bounds, especially since he just broke through, it has been strengthened a little bit, and even his spirit has been improved by two points, which surprised him very much.
If such physical fitness were placed in the real world, it would really be the same as Superman. Even the elite special forces probably don't have such physical fitness.
