Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

"I am a gray robed old man. You can call me the gray robed old man."

The gray-robed old man smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by here and saw you youngsters fighting, so I came over to take a look.

I didn't expect to meet you two interesting little guys."

After hearing this, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang still had doubts in their hearts, but they also let down their guard a little.

After all, this gray-robed old man didn't look like an enemy.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Fang Yue bowed to express his gratitude.

Although, even if this person was not there, Fang Yue and the others would not be in danger.

But since he helped, I should thank him.

The grey-robed old man smiled and said, "I can't say I'm giving you any advice, but I think you two are both promising talents and shouldn't be wasted here. Where are you going?"

"We are going to Shenjing City."

Zhu Linlang replied: "Senior, do you know anything about Shenjing City?"

Although Zhu Linlang knew that the Emperor of Wei was about to die, all forces and factions of the royal family were stepping up their actions to compete for the throne.

But she didn't know the specific details.

Seeing that the gray-robed old man seemed to know something, he asked immediately.

When the grey-robed old man heard this, a deep light flashed in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said:
"Shenjing City is a place full of opportunities and challenges. Now that the Emperor of Wei is critically ill, various forces are surging. It is indeed a turbulent time."

He paused and continued, “I know something about the Shenjing City.

There is fierce fighting within the royal family, and various factions are secretly making plans, hoping to gain an advantageous position in the fight for the throne.

In addition to the royal family, many aristocratic families and clans are also secretly intervening, making the battle for the throne even more complicated."

Then, the old man in gray robe began to tell the story.

The old man in grey robe spoke slowly and leisurely, like a storyteller who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, revealing the situation in the city of Shenjing in detail.

He told the stories of the open and covert struggles within the royal family, the grudges between the major factions, and the conflicts of interest between the aristocratic families and the sects.

These intricate networks of relationships are like a huge spider web, enveloping the city of Shenjing.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were fascinated by what they heard. They seemed to see the magnificent picture of Shenjing City slowly unfolding before their eyes.

They felt the weight of history and the stirring power struggle.

After the old man in gray robe finished his story, the two were still immersed in the thrilling story for a long time, unable to extricate themselves.

Finally, Fang Yue was the first to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the situation in Shenjing City to be so complicated. It's really amazing."

Zhu Linlang also nodded and agreed, "Yes, listening to a senior's words is better than reading for ten years. We now have a deeper understanding of Shenjing City, and we must be more cautious in our next actions."

The grey-robed old man smiled slightly and said, "It's rare that you two little guys can realize this so quickly.

Remember, when you are in Shenjing City, you must be cautious at every step. It is better to be safe than sorry."

The three chatted for a while, and then the old man in gray robe floated away.

Then, the two of them set out on the road to Shenjing City.

~~~~~~~~
At the same time, in the mysterious village where the Shadow Pavilion headquarters is located in the demon world.

Li Shengdong sat alone in the dark hall.

Li Shengdong's face was hidden in the darkness, with only a pair of eyes flashing a cold light. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, as if he was thinking about something important.

"What's the situation in Shenjing City?" Li Shengdong suddenly asked, his voice cold and majestic.

A man in black immediately stepped out from the darkness, knelt in the center of the hall, and answered respectfully: "My Lord, the situation in Shenjing City is now in chaos, and all forces are stepping up their preparations to fight for the throne.

Our people have successfully infiltrated and are ready to implement our plan at any time."

Li Shengdong nodded, a sneer on his face.

He has been secretly planning to take advantage of the battle for the throne in Shenjing City to fish in troubled waters and seek the greatest benefits.

"Continue to pay close attention to the situation in Shenjing City, and report any signs of trouble to me in a timely manner." Li Shengdong ordered.

"Yes!" the man in black responded and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Also, where is Fang Yue now?"

"Report to the Pavilion Master."

Another man in black appeared and answered, "According to our latest intelligence, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang have left their original place and are currently on their way to Shenjing City."

After hearing this, a cold light flashed in Li Shengdong's eyes.

"Very good," Li Shengdong said slowly, "Continue to monitor their movements, and report to me immediately once they reach Shenjing City."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." The man in black stepped back and disappeared into the darkness again.

A cruel smile appeared on Li Shengdong's lips.

Although he needed the power of the dragon soul of luck in Fang Yue, it was impossible for him to really take Fang Yue seriously.

Everything that happened before was just to take advantage of Fang Yue's hypocrisy.

Li Shengdong sneered in his heart. What he needed was the power from Fang Yue, not Fang Yue himself.

In Li Shengdong's eyes, Fang Yue is just a tool, a tool that can help him gain more power.

Now, this tool is heading to Shenjing City, a place full of opportunities and challenges.

This might be an opportunity for Li Shengdong, an opportunity to seize Fang Yue's power in the chaos.

"Fang Yue, do you think you can control your own destiny?"

Li Shengdong thought to himself, "Once you get to Shenjing City, you will know how to use real power."

~~~~~~
The Shenjing City of the Great Wei Dynasty, located in the center of the vast continent, is an ancient city with a long history and magnificent magnificence.

The city wall is tall and solid, like an indestructible barrier, guarding the peace and prosperity of the city.

The bricks and stones on the city wall have experienced erosion from wind and rain, but they are still strong, witnessing countless days and nights of changes and historical changes.

Inside the city, the streets are spacious and clean, with shops lining both sides, a wide variety of goods on display, and a constant stream of pedestrians.

From time to time, you can hear the vendors' shouting and customers' bargaining, creating a lively and lively market picture.

In the center of this city, the towering imperial palace rises from the ground, magnificent and majestic.

On the palace roof, the golden glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, making the entire palace look more solemn and sacred. Surrounding the palace are dense forests and exquisite gardens, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and the environment is pleasant, which makes it more royal.

Whenever night falls, the city of Shenjing will be lit up. The twinkling lights and the stars in the night sky complement each other, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

Amidst the brilliant lights, the nightlife of the capital city also quietly unfolds. Restaurants, teahouses, theaters and other entertainment venues are bustling with people and music, showing the prosperity and vitality of this city.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang finally arrived in Shenjing City.

"Let's go to the Wen family's old house first and settle down there." Zhu Linlang naturally contacted some of his old connections when he came to Shenjing City.

Wen Family Manor is located in the suburbs of Shenjing City, covering a vast area and enjoying a quiet and elegant environment.

The gate of the manor is majestic and imposing, and the stone lions at the door are mighty and solemn, demonstrating the dignity and status of the Wen family.

The two arrived at the gate of the manor, explained their purpose to the guard, and were soon warmly welcomed in.

The interior of the manor is an even more extraordinary world, with pavilions, towers, rockery, flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, each of which reveals a rich cultural heritage and exquisite gardening design.

The servants of the Wen family took Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang through the winding corridors and came to the main hall of the manor.

In the main hall, Wen Tianxiong, the head of the Wen family, had been waiting for a long time. He was a middle-aged man with a dignified face and deep eyes.

Seeing Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, Wen Tianxiong stood up and greeted them warmly. His face was filled with a sincere smile, making people feel the warmth and hospitality of the Wen family.

"Your Highness, you are finally here." Wen Tianxiong's voice was deep and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty and dignity.

When Zhu Linlang heard the title "Princess", she was slightly stunned, but then she understood Wen Tianxiong's intention.

In the Wei Dynasty, her identity was a royal princess. Although this identity was rarely mentioned after she left the palace, now in the Wen family, this identity has become the bond between her and the Wen family.

"Uncle Wen, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as charming and elegant as ever." Zhu Linlang responded with a smile and bowed to Wen Tianxiong.

Fang Yue stood aside. Although he was familiar with Zhu Linlang's identity as a princess, he couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart when he saw Wen Tianxiong's respect for her.

He bowed to Wen Tianxiong and said, "Master Wen, I am Fang Yue, the junior, nice to meet you, senior."

Wen Tianxiong nodded, looked at Fang Yue, and said with admiration:
"This young man is very heroic, he must be no ordinary person. Princess, you really have good taste."

Zhu Linlang smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, you are too kind. Fang Yue is indeed a rare talent."

Wen Tianxiong laughed and said, "Come, please take a seat, and we will talk slowly."

After the three of them sat down, Wen Tianxiong asked them why they came.

Zhu Linlang laid out their plan in detail, hoping to get the support and help of the Wen family.

After hearing this, Wen Tianxiong pondered for a moment and said, "The situation in Shenjing City is complicated now, so you must act carefully.

However, since you are here to look for opportunities and understand the situation, my Wen family may be able to provide some help."

He paused and continued, "My Wen family also has a certain sphere of influence in Shenjing City. Although it cannot be compared with those big forces, it is more than enough to provide some intelligence and news."

Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue were immediately cheered up when they heard this.

The reason they came to Shenjing City, in addition to understanding the situation, was more importantly to find a suitable opportunity.

The help of the Wen family will undoubtedly help them achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Thank you, Uncle Wen. Now we are confident that we will live up to your expectations." Zhu Linlang said confidently.

Wen Tianxiong nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to take you around Shenjing City so that you can get familiar with the environment.

At the same time, I will have people collect the latest intelligence for your reference."

"Thank you, Uncle Wen!" Zhu Linlang said gratefully.

Wen Tianxiong smiled and waved his hands, indicating that it was just a small matter.

He immediately summoned a servant and told him to arrange accommodation for Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, and to prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome them.

~~~~~~~
At the same time, in a prosperous restaurant in Shenjing City, Wen Feiyang, the next generation heir of the Wen family, was drinking with his friends.

Wen Feiyang, as the future head of the Wen family, has a tall stature, handsome face, and a heroic look between his brows.

He has received strict training from his family since he was young. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in strategy. He is a leader among the younger generation in Shenjing City.

At this moment, he was sitting in a private room of the restaurant, surrounded by a group of like-minded friends.

They discussed the situation in Shenjing City and analyzed the movements of various forces. The atmosphere was warm and active.

"Brother Feiyang, which family do you think has the best chance of winning the throne this time?" asked a friend.

Wen Feiyang smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said after a moment of silence: "This fight for the throne is indeed a fight between dragons and tigers. Each major force has its own advantages, but if I have to say who has the most hope, I am optimistic about a certain prince in the royal family."

"Oh? Why is Brother Feiyang so optimistic about him?" another friend asked curiously.

Wen Feiyang shook his head and did not answer directly. Instead, he changed the subject: "In fact, who will eventually ascend to the throne is not something we can decide. What we can do now is to wait and see and make our own preparations. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Enjoy your drink!"

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

At this time, someone said, "I heard that the daughter of the King of Han, Zhu Linlang, has also come to Shenjing City this time. With the relationship between the Wen family and Her Highness the Princess, Brother Wen, you have great hope."

When Wen Feiyang heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but then he chuckled and shook his head:
"Don't talk nonsense. Princess Zhu Linlang is of noble status. Her marriage is not something our Wen family can interfere with. Besides, I am not interested in this kind of thing."

Although Wen Feiyang said this, he couldn't help feeling a little shaken in his heart.

He naturally knew that Zhu Linlang not only had a noble status, but also had a beautiful appearance. She was the beauty that countless young talents in Shenjing City dreamed of.

In fact, he also had the idea of ​​marrying this woman in his heart.

It's just that the new emperor has not yet been decided, so he doesn't dare to express his opinion easily.

But this does not prevent him from getting the upper hand by virtue of being close to the water. In short, he will first cultivate a good relationship with this girl this time.

When the time comes, after the new emperor ascends the throne, as long as he does not pursue the King of Han, he will marry this woman.

If not, just play around.

Children of aristocratic families always put interests first.

"Okay, let's continue drinking and not talk about this." Wen Feiyang raised his glass and signaled to his friends.

While Wen Feiyang continued to drink with his friends, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were settling down in the Wen family manor.

They were arranged to stay in a quiet courtyard with an elegant environment and complete facilities, which was enough to show how much the Wen family valued them.

"It's really nice here. It seems that the Wen family really takes good care of us." Fang Yue looked around and said with emotion.

Zhu Linlang nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Wen is really a good person." (End of this chapter)
