The ultimate dream of a man is nothing more than being surrounded by stunning beauties, with beautiful wives and concubines in abundance.
The won in the room right now, casually any one of them, is a goddess who countless n would be crazy about, possibly needing several lifetis to earn the blessing to experience their affection.
However, for Jiang Shouzhong, it is tornt.
After all, each of these won has a highly arrogant personality, none of them yielding to the other.
Each one has a cultivation higher than his.
When gathered together, there’s no way to peacefully play mahjong; the hidden scheming is palpable, making it feel like the room could be overturned at any mont.
Master Luoxue is still the best.
Quiet, doesn’t fight or contend, and doesn’t covet his body.
Jiang Shouzhong thought secretly.
Upon hearing Jiang Yi’s sarcasm, Luo Wanqing does not feel humiliated or annoyed.
The beautiful lady delicately touches Jiang Shouzhong’s chin with jade-like fingers, slowly rubbing, and says with a smile: "When it cos to loneliness, this palace is not as good as so people who can even wet their skirts reading spring palace books, now pretending to be pure and virtuous."
Jiang Yi sneered: "At least I won’t sneak affairs outside behind my husband."
"At least this palace won’t compete for a man with my niece."
Luo Wanqing retorted.
Seeing the two really about to fight, Jiang Shouzhong quickly shifted the topic, asking Dugu Luoxue, "By the way, Master Luoxue, what happened to the Wanshou Mountains and Rivers?"
Dugu Luoxue said softly, "The Mountain Master of Wanshou Mountains and Rivers has passed away."
What!?
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions were astonished.
The Wanshou Mountains and Rivers being the world’s number one Confucian sect, its Mountain Master was famous and had notable cultivation, how could he suddenly die?
However, Dugu’s next words shocked the won even more.
"The next Mountain Master position has been passed to Jiang Shouzhong."
Dugu Luoxue stated calmly.
Jiang Shouzhong looked dazed.
It’s baffling, why am I being given the Mountain Master position as a gift?
Do I look like a cultured person to you?
I can’t possibly be a plagiarizer, this is the most tasteless crossing storyline.
Luo Wanqing paused for a mont, then burst out laughing, shaken with amusent: "This is truly the world’s biggest joke, was the old fellow kicked in the head by a mule when he passed away?"
The woman pointed her vermillion-tipped fingers at Jiang Shouzhong’s chest,
"This rascal with a mound of romantic debts is fit to manage the world’s Confucian sect? Aren’t we afraid of being ridiculed by all scholars? I see the fortune of Wanshou Mountains and Rivers is about to run out."
Facing Luo Wanqing’s mockery, Dugu Luoxue remained calm like pure snow, resembling a Jade Guanyin.
Actually, as the Vice Mountain Master, she also didn’t understand the old Mountain Master’s decision.
Originally placing Jiang Shouzhong as a candidate for Mountain Master had already shocked many, now it’s officially passed to him.
However, she trusted the old Mountain Master’s intention.
Perhaps he had noticed sothing different about Jiang Shouzhong, or it was the Heavenly Divine Fortune on him.
In any case, she would definitely support the old Mountain Master’s decision, especially since Jiang Shouzhong was her disciple, for public and private reasons, she would protect him well.
She suddenly recalled the day the old Mountain Master summoned her into the Qi Fortune Pavilion, dipping his withered fingers in vermilion to write "Shouzhong" on the Heavenly Precepts, his expression gloomy.
At that ti, the old Mountain Master seed to have galaxies suspended in his eyes.
"More words lead to exhaustion, better be in Shouzhong."
At this mont, Jiang Wan sighed softly, "This world won’t really belong to this kid, right."
She raised her eyes toward the sky, starlight reflected in them,
"But if those people above don’t nod, even if he becos the second Human Emperor, he will end up like the previous dynasty’s fallen ruler."
The won harbored different thoughts, suddenly fell silent.
Luo Wanqing leaned against the faded door fra, embroidered with mud-spotted skirt hems with gold-thread phoenixes, smiling mischievously: "If this kid really becos the Human Emperor—"
The woman raised a playful curve on her red lips, "This palace wouldn’t mind continuing as the Empress. After all, compared to you chicks, this palace knows how to be an Empress."
"You’re worthy?"
Jiang Yi’s eyes glinted coldly.
Luo Wanqing tilted her delicate head slightly looking at her, "Ms. Jiang, isn’t the sll of vinegar a bit too strong?"
Just as Jiang Yi was about to retort, Jiang Wan suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, were there any unusual phenona before the old Mountain Master passed away?"
"Purple Qi rising from the East."
Dugu Luoxue’s voice was as clear as a mountain stream.
Luo Wanqing was surprised, "Auspicious sign?"
But Jiang Wan gently shook her head, "An auspicious sign at this ti is not a good on, it seems the old Mountain Master discovered so divine secrets, hence choosing to pass away. Clearly, he also left sothing for Jiang Shouzhong, which will be revealed later."
Upon hearing Jiang Wan’s words, Dugu Luoxue felt a stir.
She recalled the old Mountain Master’s last divination before passing — the hexagram was clearly an incomplete hexagram but he drew a circle of Perfection with vermilion.
The world in chaos, the world in chaos... could the heavens also be in chaos?
But who should end this chaos?
Dugu Luoxue looked at Jiang Shouzhong, softly murmuring, "Heavenly Divine Fortune, should rise with Jiang."
...
After the topic of Wanshou Mountains and Rivers beca involved, the original confrontation between the two won was alleviated.
And Luo Wanqing, accustod to palace luxury, couldn’t endure these "poor" days, saying she had to go to the Capital City to buy things, and temporarily left.
Dugu Luoxue, having been stirred while taking care of Jiang Shouzhong before, found an excuse to rest in the nearby room.
Jiang Wan glanced at her sister, initially intending to arrange an opportunity for her to have a private ti with Jiang Shouzhong, but just as she was about to leave, Jiang Shouzhong called her.
"Master Jiang Wan, what should be done about Qingchen now?"
Jiang Shouzhong curiously asked.
Jiang Wan understood the other’s internal worry, smiled and comforted:
"Though so things were ruined by the Saint Buddha of the Esoteric Sect, Qingchen’s Heart Demon has been successfully expelled, in the short term she’s not afraid of falling into the Asura Path, next it depends on Yan Changqing’s skills."
