Chapter 117: Stellar Whispers

oung monk, everyone on board the dragon-bone boat, as if at a signal, bent down and bowed deeply.There is a song from the nearby islands that goes —>>Everyone says it's extraordinary, climbing step by..."By the way," Chongxuan said in Xinghe Pavilion, "when you go to Xuankong Temple, remember to go around Xingyueyuan."

Jiang Wang frowned and asked, "Why"

There's no reason to avoid Xingyueyuan, he still needs to chat with Master Guanyan, even the blazing bone lotus needs to accumulate star power.

"There will be big moves over there." Chong Xuan only said this one sentence before falling silent.

It seems that military secrets of the Ministry of War are involved.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Wang's current official rank and position also qualify him to be privy to secret information. However, he is currently alone and abroad.

As a disciple of the general, Xuan Sheng still possesses a heavy sense of awareness.

With a little thought, Jiang Wang could figure out the geographical environment of Xingyueyuan and the layout of Xixiang Kingdom and Dongxu Kingdom to some extent.

The negotiations between Qi Jing and... seemed to be going poorly...

Was it Qi's overly aggressive tactics or Jin's excessive arrogance that led to this situation Could it be that Jin is truly preparing for a two-front war To challenge both major powers single-handedly

Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "I traveled thousands of miles, hiding my real name for national affairs and enduring many hardships. Even when I arrived at Xingyueyuan, I had to take a detour... Shouldn't the superiors give some compensation"

Zhong Xuan looked at him in shock.

“Haha, just kidding.” Jiang Wang said with a dry smile.

"You're still driving quite seriously, then." Chong Xuan said nonchalantly.

"You don't know until you come. The scenery on the prairie is quite good." Jiang Wang looked left and right, changing the subject: "I took a distant look at the Royal Court, it was truly majestic!"

"Why, didn't your younger brother take you for a spin around the Supreme King's Court"

"He is in Liyuan City," Jiang Wang said.

Even if Chong Xuan was incredibly intelligent and Jiang Wang possessed terrifying combat talent, on the grand chessboard of the hegemonic nation, they were nothing more than pawns. They weren't even particularly significant ones.

Many things are beyond our control.

This topic is really hard to continue, so Chongxuan changed the subject: "Suddenly I remembered something. You mentioned Gu Shiyi last time, and I just dug up some information about him recently. I got a basic understanding of him. Things have been so hectic lately that I almost forgot!"

This time, he had to first help Jiang Wang wash away the stigma of treason. He barely managed to get past Zhang Weiyu after a hard fight and won a brilliant victory. Immediately afterward, Jiang Wang got into trouble again, with only an urgent letter and a single sentence arriving.

The matter concerns Jing Guo Zhao Xuan Yang, who is said to be the perpetrator of a great magical crime.

He wanted to understand the situation and actively promote a strong stance by the State of Qi against the State of Jing. When Jiang Wang was safe, he would also help find ways for Qi's court to please them...

If there were any major moves during the reign of Duke Jing of Qi, it was precisely when families like the Chong Xuan clan exerted their influence. As the eldest son of the Chong Xuan family, he also had to work hard to secure his own bargaining chips...

With so much to do, I'm indeed very busy.

"Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed, and said with warmth: "Brother Sheng, you've really worked hard!"

"Sigh." Chong Xuan sighed, "I've been feeling backaches lately. I wonder if it's just from overworking myself..."

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "I shouldn't interfere with your family matters, should I..."

"What are you thinking about!" Chong Xuan slapped the stone table angrily, "I'm so busy because of your affairs!"

"Then you must try my unique massage techniques!" Jiang Wang stood up decisively, walked around to Zhong Xuan Sheng's back, and eagerly kneaded his shoulders: "Huang Sheli has something called twenty-four hands. I learned two moves when I practiced with him. Let me loosen your muscles and bones, so that you feel comfortable all over!"

If Huang Sheli knew that her twenty-four Saving the World Hands were being used by Jiang Wang to give people shoulder massages, she would surely be furious. Her Púdu 降魔杵 (Staff for Subduing Demons) wouldn't be able to hold steady and she'd definitely have to crush Jiang Wang's fingers—unless he was massaging her.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Chong Xuan Sheng feigned resistance, saying, “What merit or virtue do I, Chong Xuan Sheng, possess that the world’s foremost inner palace would knead my shoulders and rub my back for me…”

Jiāng Wàng very considerately patted his back: “Yes, yes! It must be so! Shèng Ge, you worry about things every day, you must take care of your health. Your hundreds of pounds of flesh are the embodiment of wisdom, a treasure of Qí Guo, you absolutely cannot lose it. Please take good care of yourself!”

Zheng Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Where was I just now"

"Remember to show gratitude to your teacher," Jiang Wang reminded.

"Gu Shiyi, this man, is the number one expert in Zheng Guo." Chong Xuan Sheng said with enjoyment, lazily, "He's a chivalrous and righteous man, renowned as the most honorable hero in the world."

He was from the direct lineage of the Zheng Kingdom royal family, but he had no interest in the throne and did not seek official positions. He showed no desire for royal resources. From a young age, he traveled the world independently, helping the weak and fighting against the strong, earning a reputation for himself.

He changed his name to Gu Shiyi, taking "righteousness" as his teacher.

When his father was critically ill and wanted to pass the throne to him, he left his seat and refused to accept the imperial edict. People said that although he adhered to the principle of "going it alone with a single sword," he lacked the ability to govern the country. He reportedly said something like, "I have an elder brother above me and a capable nephew below me; therefore, I will not accept."

He later went to the country alone after the new emperor ascended the throne, just to avoid people using him as a target. He only returned home when the new emperor's power was consolidated.

He did not use any resources of the Zheng Kingdom royal family. He relied solely on himself and yet achieved the status of a true master of this world. He was indeed a rare and extraordinary man, with exceptional talent and an independent spirit. If we consider his seniority, the current emperor of Zheng Kingdom is actually the nephew of his teacher, Gu Shiyi.

Although he was the foremost expert in the state of Zheng, he generally stayed out of affairs. He neither accepted titles from the emperor of Zheng nor offers from other states. He roamed the world for many years, indulging in pleasure and travel. Every ten or eight years, he would return to live there for a while.

It is extremely difficult for the people of a small country to achieve true understanding. Just think about Ji Cheng, who was obstructed by the divine presence and understand that the difficulty lies not only in the path itself.

Remembering Gu Shiyi's hearty slap, Jiang Wang couldn't help but say, "What a remarkable person!"

“Well, then let’s just assume he’s a chivalrous hero for now!” Chong Xuan Sheng said.

"What do you mean" asked Jiang Wang.

Although his reputation is good, "reputation is a fickle thing," Chong Xuan sighed: “You've been labeled a traitorous evildoer and a demon summoner. Now you're the righteous hero of the state, the wrongfully accused lost prodigy of Qi.”

He smiled and said, "It's easy to handle!"

“To judge by one's actions, but not their heart; to judge the heart, where is a perfect man” Jiang Wang retorted: "If you always try to guess the ulterior motives behind everything, then it will be difficult for anyone to be trusted."

"Of course. So I say, for now, let's just consider him a good person." Chong Xuan sheng said indifferently: "What purpose he has in saving you, we can talk about it later after further contact. If there is no interaction from now on, then there's no need to mention it."

Jiang Wang then said, “I am very grateful to him for saving me. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will do my best to repay him. As for what kind of person he is, I only met him once, and I dare not judge or speculate. So, let's just wait and see!”

Zhong Xuan smiled: "At least we agree on the outcome."

"Indeed," Jiang Wangyi smiled.

> In many cases, they might be two completely different people.

But they were all clear-headed, knowing that the world was not populated only by people like them. They knew that their personal code of conduct was not the only standard for life.

They walked in the same direction, but not step by step.

Both people are walking their own paths.

When she emerged from the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness, Jiang Wangyi felt a stir within her. She raised her eyes to look at the sky.

That galaxy stretched out, shimmering with a kind of agitation.

For some reason, he remembered the celebration of Fu Lu's memorial service by floating lanterns.
