Chapter 466

"Come in," Zhang Sheng said.

Behind Bao Yun entered the guest hall, sat down gracefully, and placed her hands on her knees, elegant and not lacking in etiquette.

She seemed to be looking at the room's layout casually, but in reality, she had been quietly observing Zhang Sheng, and then said: "With such an Uncle, no wonder you could be famous in the Tai Chu Palace back then. Your generation was also hailed as the strongest generation in a hundred years."

Zhang Sheng said indifferently: "People like us have all had some problems to varying degrees now, and have already been surpassed by you all."

"On the path to the Dao, how could there be no ups and downs? As long as there is no problem with the Dao heart, one can naturally overcome all difficulties."

Zhang Sheng nodded: "Indeed, as long as there is no problem with the Dao heart."

Behind Bao Yun's gaze swept over Zhang Sheng casually again, and she suddenly said: "That push Uncle gave me back then, come to think of it, I haven't thanked you properly! It turns out that every drink and every peck is destined by heaven."

Zhang Sheng laughed and said: "How can anything be destined by heaven? Heaven and earth are unfair, so we should naturally act against heaven. Yuan'er's idea is to change heaven and earth; don't you know this?"

"No matter what he wants to do, I will naturally do my best to help him."

Zhang Sheng smiled faintly and said: "How is your 'Xincheng' coming along? Why haven't I seen the Bao family come to provide funding?"

Behind Bao Yun then said: "Several great-grandfathers all wanted to come and help a little, but I refused. If I use the Bao family's money, goods, and people now, this city will truly have to be surnamed Bao. I was thinking that there will always be a time when I have to use the family's help in the future. If I ask for it later, the city will be built better, and I can also ask for more resources."

"Truly, a girl's heart is turned outward."

Behind Bao Yun shook her head: "Uncle is joking again. It's not that there are no struggles within the Bao family. Some time ago, because my Dao Foundation was damaged and my talent was insufficient, I was almost sold to the East Sea Island to be a breeder for others. So now, if I can use one more point of the family's resources, those who are competing with me will have one point less, so this is also for myself."

Hearing that the Dao Foundation was damaged, Zhang Sheng's eyes softened a bit, and he said: "There are many ways to make up for a Dao body. In the future, we will pay more attention to relevant treasures for you, and it will always get better. However, your Bao family elders are truly ridiculous, even selling a descendant like you! Hmph, if I had been born a hundred years earlier, I would have bought you directly."

Behind Bao Yun lowered her head slightly and said softly: "It seems Uncle's problem has been solved. To be able to achieve great success on the immortal path in just a hundred years is truly something to be happy and congratulated about."

Zhang Sheng nodded: "I have already roughly seen the path ahead. Once I figure out the last few things, I can start to re-cultivate."

"Uncle is indeed a peerless talent! Then I will wish Uncle smooth sailing in advance!"

Zhang Sheng smiled and suddenly said: "You girl, what you want, it's not impossible to give it to you. Yuan'er, come in!"

Wei Yuan had already left his courtyard and was tiptoeing toward the edge of the main peak, preparing to flee under the cover of night. But Zhang Sheng's voice suddenly rang in his ears, instantly turning him into a statue.

Wei Yuan turned around slowly and moved toward Zhang Sheng's small courtyard step by step, his speed comparable to a septuagenarian crone or a seriously ill land turtle.

Zhang Sheng's voice rang in his ears again: "Speed!"

Wei Yuan gave a bitter smile and could only activate his movement technique, his figure flashing and appearing in the main hall.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng and Behind Bao Yun were sitting before him, like two mountain peaks with supreme scenery, each with different views. At this very moment, Wei Yuan felt that if there were ten measures of scenery in the world, eight of them were probably in this room.

Wei Yuan looked at his nose, his nose at his heart, calmed his mind and intent, emptied himself, and said nothing. At this moment, several possible problems he might encounter suddenly floated into his heart, and he secretly cried 'not good', turning around and wanting to escape!

Zhang Sheng smiled slightly and said: "You stand still for me! I'll ask you a question on behalf of Bao girl: between the two of us, who do you think is more beautiful?"

Wei Yuan's vision went black! This question was truly one that determined superiority and also decided life and death.

At this moment, the 'Human World Renjian Yanhuo' was silent, as if dead.

In this instant, Wei Yuan thought of a great many things, and incidentally reviewed his own life, sighing at the twists and turns of fate.

But having thought of so much, he just couldn't think of an answer. This question couldn't be left unanswered, and it couldn't be left un-answered; he had to distinguish superiority, but he couldn't distinguish superiority. Answering fast was wrong, answering slow was wrong, and not answering was also wrong.

In his desperation, Wei Yuan blurted out: "Disciple is face-blind, I cannot distinguish whether a woman is good-looking or not..."

Both women were stunned.

Behind Bao Yun covered her mouth and chuckled, saying: "Look at how you've forced Junior Brother, he's even started talking nonsense." Zhang Sheng then said: "Alright, you go down."

Wei Yuan felt as if he had been granted amnesty and disappeared instantly.

After Wei Yuan disappeared, Zhang Sheng picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and said: "You won this round, are you satisfied?"

Behind Bao Yun shook her head: "He just feels more guilty toward me. I would rather he said you were beautiful; that would be winning."

Zhang Sheng snorted and said: "Lifted to a high place, only to be pushed down by you?"

Behind Bao Yun smiled: "How could that be? Naturally, it would be to watch the scenery together with Sister at a high place."

Zhang Sheng was also somewhat helpless toward her, looking at her newborn left hand, which was obviously paler and weaker, and his heart softened. Otherwise, as a disciple of the Tianqing Hall, Zhang Sheng's skill in bickering was far above his sword technique; even if he couldn't win an argument, he could still anger people to death.

Behind Bao Yun knew when to stop, changed the subject, and asked: "Regarding the last 'Causal Great Curse', I heard that there was a traitor in Qingming. Has there been any news about this matter later?"

Zhang Sheng said: "There is already a rough idea, but he doesn't want to investigate further, and I am also somewhat unwilling."

"In that case, it must be someone from the Tianqing or Shuiyue halls. This counts as deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors; why not investigate? If Sister can't let go of this face, then let me do it! If Junior Brother hadn't been lucky that day, he would have been taken away by the 'Causal Great Curse' long ago! You all are broad-minded and don't care, but this hatred is too great, and I must report it!"

Zhang Sheng thought for a while and said: "If you want to, then do it, but first wait for me to report to Ancestor Xuanyue, and you should also greet Ancestor Huangyun."

!.

"That is natural."

Talking to here, Behind Bao Yun prepared to take her leave, and before leaving, she suddenly asked: "Has Sister been sleeping well lately?"

"Things shouldn't happen three times; in the future, you should still call me Uncle. I am now in the body of a mortal and have to sleep for some time every day. Why, is there a problem?"

"Nothing, I was just asking."

Behind Bao Yun said her goodbyes and left, returning to her residence in the 'Xincheng' a moment later. Seeing that it was not yet dawn, she slept in her clothes, disguised her spiritual sense again, and then slept until dawn without even having a dream.

And Zhang Sheng had already completed several tasks in his seat at this time; now he could handle sixteen tasks simultaneously.

Wei Yuan sat in the study, restless; he knew he must have answered wrong but didn't know what the correct answer was. This question had been handed over to the 'Human World Renjian Yanhuo', but there was no answer for a long time, which made Wei Yuan furious. If the processing speed was always like this, he would have been 'delivered' several times over.

But everything else in the 'Human World Renjian Yanhuo' was normal, only this question was stuck and couldn't be answered; perhaps it was truly difficult.

Just at this moment, a cultivator holding a book box came in, saying it was sent from the Wu State.

Wei Yuan took the book box and opened it to see ten chess manuals, inscribed with 'Ten Scribble Games', and there was a line of small characters on the cover: 'Annotated by Chenzhou and Qiuyue'.

Wei Yuan's spirit lifted, and he immediately picked up one and read it carefully.

Seeing one of the moves, Chenzhou commented like this: "... This move is great skill without craftsmanship, seemingly a foolish move, but in reality, the layout is far-reaching, and the merit lies dozens of steps later. Just like a strange stone in the deep mountains, seemingly rough, but in reality born of heaven and earth, it is already close to the Dao!"

Monk Qiuyue also said: "... Placing a piece like this, is it human, or is it immortal?"

As Wei Yuan read, he harvested 'Qi' luck. 'Qi' luck came from all directions, actually half green and half purple; it seems this chess manual had already been published to the world and began to spread, and more and more people were studying this manual. Chenzhou, Qiuyue, and the friends of the Seventh Elder were naturally the first to see it; being friends, their cultivation was also roughly equivalent. So Wei Yuan harvested an exceptionally large amount of purple 'Qi' at this time.

How to use this purple 'Qi', he would study it carefully later; Wei Yuan was currently concentrating on reading the annotations.

Actually, to be honest, although this chess was played by Wei Yuan, he couldn't understand the chess he played at all; he had to read the comments and annotations to know where this move was powerful and how powerful it was. It was also hard for Chenzhou and Qiuyue; a full ten chess manuals, and they actually didn't praise the same thing twice.

So Wei Yuan's mouth turned up, reading the annotations carefully, repeatedly, and with unfinished interest, even forgetting the experience of having just narrowly escaped death.
