entrusting the vast family enterprise of the Zhong Xuan Family to Wang Yiwu for temporary management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his retreating figure, Jiang Wang realized that a year later, when Zhongxuan Zun returned, he would undoubtedly cause a sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could not topple Zhongxuan Zun’s influence within this year, it would be equivalent to trivial labor in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Zhongxuan Zun would no longer give Zhongxuan Sheng the slightest chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while this was easy to say, it was extremely difficult to do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate guards still looked straight ahead without turning their eyes; the street vendors remained busy with their own work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Linzi, people indulged in their own worlds where countless stories and incidents unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yiwu, with that almost constant pace, walked up to Zhongxuan Sheng and looked down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to die?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the strongest from ancient to present Tongtian Environment, Wang Yiwu could very well be also the strongest in the Ascending Dragon Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing his threat of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongxuan Sheng just smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Care for morning tea?” he asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was not asking Wang Yiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wangdao beside him said, “Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haitang Chun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone has promised to treat us, let’s change to another place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it’s still Hongxiu Zhao, just right to clear the old debts!” Zhongxuan Sheng stated, with multiple implications in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already had the Fog Maiden Pipa, need to switch to another tea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talked and walked, quickly leaving the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had ignored Wang Yiwu from beginning to end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yiwu was certainly strong, having broken the Heaven-reaching Realm Limit and made a name for himself in the history of cultivation, how could he not be strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, whether it was Zhongxuan Sheng or Jiang Wang, who was easy to deal with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Wang Yiwu’s strength, could he make these two men surrender without a fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attempted to display his might but clearly targeted the wrong people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to repeat how he had responded back then in the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongxuan Sheng’s attitude was crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want me dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just bring it on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be underestimating Zhongxuan Sheng to say he had come to Jicimen just to look good in front of Zhongxuan Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he wanted to see was Zhongxuan Zun’s countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thanks to his sudden and urgent actions, Zhongxuan Zun’s response was indeed hasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, even a person like Zhongxuan Zun couldn’t do much when the imperial decree suddenly descended; he simply left everything to Wang Yiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pleased Zhongxuan Sheng very much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning at Hongxiu Zhao, it was the time when the guests were leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang chose this time to drink flower wine, which really bewildered many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they explained their intention and stated they were here just for morning tea, people were even more surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hongxiu Zhao exclusively owned three of the supreme Eight-tone Teas, no one had ever heard of anyone coming here specifically for morning tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a bona fide place of pleasure, the top spot in Linzi for spending gold lavishly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the young masters of today really so into health preservation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Hongxiu Zhao would not neglect their guests, not to mention someone of Zhongxuan Sheng’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were seated, Zhongxuan Sheng said, “One should listen to the bell upon waking up, so why not have a cup of Lehou Drunken Bell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the unique Three Eight-tone Teas of Hongxiu Zhao was Lehou Drunken Bell, which resonated with the sound of bells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang felt a headache upon hearing this because he inexplicably thought of Monk Ku Jue: “We’re not monks, why should we listen to bells upon waking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongxuan Sheng remained silent for a while before saying, “Not that kind of bell, but chime bells!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Jiang Wang realize his misunderstanding, but given his relationship with Zhongxuan Sheng, there wasn’t anything to be embarrassed about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he said, “One cup, please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chime bells were an instrument associated with elegant music, enjoyed only by the nobility and symbolizing status and power to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang had indeed never had the chance to hear them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notwithstanding its status as one of the Four Famous Establishments, Hongxiu Zhao couldn’t possibly present a set of chime bells to accompany the wine—it would be presumptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, a famous tea that could resonate with the sound of chime bells inherently ascended in tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a legend about a Marquisate named Yue, where the Marquis deeply cherished the music of chime bells, often drinking to the sound of the bells, and ultimately dying inebriated in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cup, named after the Marquis of Yue’s intoxication, is inspired by this tale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shape of the teacup resembles a chime bell, and when the tea boils, it produces music on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to hear its clear, crisp, and bright sound resonate far and wide, uplifting the listener’s spirit as well, is a rare experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Wang listened to Zhongxuan Sheng explain the allusion, he initially did not understand why such music could cause the Marquis to die drunk amidst it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the boiling tea ceased and the melody came to an end, the sudden sense of loss and bewilderment that arose in his heart gave him an instant insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having wandered through such a bright and open world, he must have grown even more desperate about the mundane one, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the tea entered the mouth, it seemed to strike against the teeth, similar to the ringing of a chime bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That beautiful, bright sensation then spread throughout the body from the teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang opened his eyes, his gaze filled with satisfaction and a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he had been so preoccupied with the Eight Musical Tones Tea was not just because of the pleasure of drinking it itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, when he was accompanying Li Longchuan in tuning the strings, he had tried to incorporate the misty sounds of the pipa into his Dao Technique, which gave him a new idea for the roaring Flame Sparrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cup, named after the Marquis of Yue’s intoxication, was indeed worth the journey, as it left his spirit entranced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength itself is an even greater pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a new direction for his Dao Technique satisfied him, but to complete this new idea, he feared he would have to drink the Eight Musical Tones Tea to the full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost of this made him sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the fact that one should only drink one cup of Eight Musical Tones Tea at a time to prevent conflicts and loss of its unique taste, he would have seized on Zhongxuan Sheng’s hospitality and tried them all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongxuan Sheng’s return to Linzi was marked by setbacks on the first day, but on the second day he launched a fierce counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after failing his first move with Jubao Business Association, Zhongxuan Sheng realized that his every move was probably anticipated, conventional methods would no longer work, and thus he made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to enter the palace at the hour of Yin, precisely to allow no time for Zhongxuan Zun to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging Jiang Wang to the Red Sleeves Seeking so early in the morning was not only to provoke Wang Yiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a deliberate display of enjoyment, a declaration of his “victory” over Zhongxuan Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a crucial move and a very clear signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhongxuan Sheng challenged Zhongxuan Zun, he seemed invincible in conquest, but this was only because Zhongxuan Zun had not taken him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Zhongxuan Zun got serious, with just one move he had Zhongxuan Sheng in disarray, as if the game was nearly decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Zhongxuan Sheng made a move akin to ‘the immortal’s descent beyond this world,’ leaving the chessboard and deciding to continue the game alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Zhongxuan Zun changed the player to Wang Yiwu, entrusting everything to him and focusing on his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the chess game had started anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both parties were seated once more, but the opponent had changed from Zhongxuan Zun to Wang Yiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared as if nothing had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yiwu was by no means an opponent to be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition between Zhongxuan Sheng and Zhongxuan Zun, at its core, was a struggle for the position of the Family Head of the Zhong Xuan Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong Wang Yiwu was, he was not eligible to inherit the Zhong Xuan Family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the absolute advantage that Zhongxuan Sheng had over the past year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marquis of Yue’s drunkenness, all in one cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongxuan Sheng then asked, “I heard that Xu Xiangqian wants to befriend me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang replied irritably, “That is if you have more valuable items to give!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then invite him to a banquet in your name!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Longchuan too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongxuan Sheng said, “I’ll invite others as well, Yan family, Tian family, Gao family, Mo family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invite everyone who can be invited!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today we shall drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do nothing else but drink for the entire day, revel for the entire day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was necessary to let the cold-eyed observers see the changing attitudes of the various families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang, understanding the significance of this, simply asked, “And after sobering up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also have to find someone,” Zhongxuan Sheng said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Fang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Having written “Red Heart Heavenly Patrol” for half a year, it’s almost been a bare run for that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recent limited free promotion saw a rise of nearly three thousand in collections, yet the average orders only increased by just over twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My
