Undying Life Chapter 262:The shop was called "Gathering the Ordinary"

In the Ancient Sacred Capital!

Marquis Qitian's Mansion.

Marquis Qitian sat in a large hall, his eyes closed, fingers lightly tapping on the table beside him, a faint smile playing on his lips as if contemplating sothing.

Standing before him were Mr. Shuijing and a man dressed in black robes.

"Marquis, what happened yesterday was truly a pity!" the man in black robes said.

"Pity? Ling Feng, don't you feel that things are getting more interesting now?" Marquis Qitian stopped tapping his fingers and opened his eyes, smiling.

"Interesting? Subordinate doesn't see anything interesting," Ling Feng shook his head.

"What about you, Shuijing?" Marquis Qitian turned to Mr. Shuijing beside him.

"Subordinate doesn't understand Marquis's aning," Mr. Shuijing shook his head.

"Don't understand? Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Qianyou has a very strong personality, even more difficult to sway her heart than that so-called Iceberg Proud Lady. But in just a few years, she seems to have been loosened up a bit by that Zhongshan. This Zhongshan is quite knowledgeable in matters of n and won, and having such an expert as an opponent makes it interesting," Marquis Qitian chuckled.

"Marquis is so confident?" Mr. Shuijing stared at Marquis Qitian.

"That's right, I am confident. Do you know the origin of my title? In the entire Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty, who dares to have such a title? Even the Four Great Princes don't have this honor. Qitian, who dares to vie with the heavens? Only !" Marquis Qitian's face was full of pride.

"Congratulations, Marquis!" both Mr. Shuijing and Ling Feng said simultaneously.

"You will know the reason behind 'Qitian' later. But, Shuijing, do you have sothing to tell ?" Marquis Qitian's tone changed as he looked at Mr. Shuijing with a smile.

"Yes, Marquis, I beg to inform you that nine days from now, I will be attending a banquet at Princess Qianyou's mansion. I hope Marquis will allow it!" Mr. Shuijing imdiately said.

"Oh? Qianyou invited you?" Marquis Qitian's eyes showed surprise.

"Yes," Mr. Shuijing nodded imdiately.

Staring at Mr. Shuijing, Marquis Qitian's expression changed, revealing a aningful smile. "Is it possible that Jiuniang was also invited?"

Taking a deep breath, Mr. Shuijing's emotions unexpectedly changed, and he said, "Yes."

"Haha, good, I'll allow you to go. But, you have to help deliver a ssage to Zhongshan." Marquis Qitian's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

"Please go ahead, Marquis," Mr. Shuijing exhaled deeply.

"You tell him, in two months, during the imperial examination of the Heavenly Dynasty, if he fails to enter the top three, he will have to kowtow to every ti he sees !" Marquis Qitian suddenly laughed.

"Yes!" Mr. Shuijing imdiately agreed.

"Marquis, why should he kowtow to you if he doesn't enter the top three? And what does it have to do with the great deed he did this ti?" Ling Feng asked puzzledly.

"Because, he rendered a great service this ti. One great deed deserves another, hahaha!" Marquis Qitian laughed.

Ling Feng, however, was still puzzled. Why should he kowtow for rendering a great service? Does that an if he didn't render the great service, he wouldn't have to kowtow? ——

At the sa ti, in a corner of a comrcial street in the Ancient Sacred Capital, in the smallest shop.

The shop was almost in the farthest corner, not inconspicuous, but impossible to find if one wasn't looking carefully.

The shop was called "Gathering the Ordinary," and underneath the signboard of "Gathering the Ordinary," there was a small golden character "Rong."

A branch of the Great Rong Chamber in a shop in the Ancient Sacred Capital.

The shop closed today, with the door slightly ajar. Ada stood at the entrance waiting, while Zhongshan entered alone.

In a side hall, a barrier formation was set up.

Zhongshan sat at the head, holding a cup of tea, smiling faintly. Standing in front of him was the Crown Prince of the Great Rong Dynasty, Zhong Zheng.

"Zheng'er, you've done well this ti. Wanting the Great Rong Chamber to establish itself in the Ancient Sacred Capital and quickly gather resources, Gathering the Ordinary is very suitable. It's innovative and stands out, yet it's the most ordinary thing. It won't attract envy. As long as you put in the effort with the officials and local bosses, it will thrive." Zhongshan praised.

"Thank you, Father King!" Zhong Zheng imdiately smiled.

"Here, we are not monarch and subject, but father and son," Zhongshan said.

"Yes, foster father!" Zhong Zheng smiled and said.

"Foster father, as per your request, I have dropped the 'Zhong' from my na and now go by 'Zheng.' Gathering the Ordinary has been open for a while now, just waiting for foster father to co and oversee it." Zhong Zheng said again.

"I trust you to handle things. However, there is sothing I need you to do this ti, and if you do it well, it will also serve as publicity for Gathering the Ordinary." Zhongshan said.

"Please instruct, foster father." Zhong Zheng said.

Zhongshan smiled slightly and handed a jade slip to Zhong Zheng.

Zhong Zheng took it and examined it, his brows furrowing deeply, then looked at Zhongshan with so surprise. "Foster father, do you really want to go this far?"

"Everything will be in place within nine days. I will have Princess Qianyou inform the people below and fully cooperate with you. It's a bit rushed, but isn't it always like this in the capital?" Zhongshan said.

"Understood!" Zhong Zheng nodded.

"Next, within nine days, you may not have ti to rest. At that ti, I will have Princess Qianyou summon a large number of powerful individuals, even so in the Yuan Ying stage, for you to use. Make sure to achieve results within nine days." Zhongshan said.

"Foster father, rest assured. With the authorization from Princess Qianyou and the assistance of many cultivators, there should be no problem." Zhong Zheng smiled.

"Good, you are now the president of the Great Rong Chamber. Make sure to fight this battle beautifully." Zhongshan said.

"Yes!" Zhong Zheng smiled and responded —

Nine days later. Evening, Princess Qianyou's mansion.

Outside the Orchid Pavilion, on the square, Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou stood together, looking at the magnificent night sky.

"Sir, you borrowed nearly ten thousand people from . Those ten thousand cultivators were borrowed from my father. What do you need so many people for? Where have they gone?" Princess Qianyou stared at Zhongshan and asked.

"For the promise I made to the princess ten days ago!" Zhongshan smiled.

"Oh? Ten thousand people? Are you going to create a scene larger than the one with billions of flower petals without using magic?" Princess Qianyou exclaid in surprise.

"That's right. But today, you've invited soone else, so let's wait for them to arrive before we begin. Otherwise, if we get too engrossed and they co without us noticing, it will be a sha!" Zhongshan smiled.

"It's okay. It's not like they are strangers. This ti, I only invited two people, mainly to repay the favor Water Mirror once did ." Princess Qianyou said.

"Oh? Water Mirror? Repay him? Who else?" Zhongshan asked puzzledly.

"There is one more, the Ninth Princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty. It is her presence that has tied down Water Mirror, this extraordinary talent, making him willingly serve under the Great Xuan King and be content with not asking for an official position in the Heavenly Dynasty." Princess Qianyou said.

At this mont, Ah Er flew over quickly and said, "Princess, Mr. Shuijing has arrived."

"Let him in!" Princess Qianyou said.

"Yes!" Ah Er imdiately flew out.

Soon, Mr. Shuijing was brought in by Ah Er. Seeing Mr. Shuijing, Zhongshan's eyes lit up because Mr. Shuijing looked quite different today. He was dressed very brightly, unlike anything Zhongshan had seen before.

Previously, in Zhongshan's mind, Mr. Shuijing was just soone who kept himself clean and neat. But now, he looked like a handso uncle, with his feather fan put away, holding a folding fan in his hand, displaying an elegant deanor.

"Mr. Shuijing, you..." Zhongshan was sowhat surprised.

"Sir, don't mind. Every ti I invite Mr. Shuijing, he changes his previous style and dresses up handsoly and elegantly." Princess Qianyou smiled.

"No problem, thanks for your accommodation, Your Highness." Mr. Shuijing imdiately thanked Princess Qianyou.

"It's okay. I haven't seen my senior sister for a long ti, so I just invited her over to catch up." Princess Qianyou said.

"Thank you!" Mr. Shuijing said again.

With a smile, Princess Qianyou looked towards Ah Da flying over from a distance.

"Princess, the Ninth Princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty has arrived." Ah Da said.

"Quickly, please! Um, have her sedan bearers wait outside. They are not allowed to co in here." Princess Qianyou imdiately said.

"Yes!" Ah Da quickly flew out.

Not long after, Ah Da brought back a gorgeously dressed woman.

Although the woman's appearance was not outstanding, her rosy cheeks, round face, and playful eyes made Zhongshan feel that she was probably a lively and cheerful girl even before she spoke.

"Qianyou, you're back? You've been gone for so long this ti." The woman exclaid excitedly, grabbing Princess Qianyou's hand with a happy expression on her face.

"Sister, you're a princess now. You should be more dignified!" Princess Qianyou laughed.

"Okay, okay, you're not a stranger. Um, Mr. Shuijing? Are you here too?" The woman smiled.

"Mr. Shuijing pays his respects to the princess." Mr. Shuijing imdiately stepped forward. When he looked at the woman, a strange pain flashed in his eyes.

"Every ti I co to Qianyou's place, I always see you. Are you working under my husband but secretly serving Qianyou?" The woman imdiately teased.

"It's all just a coincidence." Mr. Shuijing imdiately shook his head. There was so infatuation in his eyes as he looked at the woman, but he dared not look at her too much for fear of being noticed.

"Okay, okay, I have soone else here." Princess Qianyou laughed.

At this mont, the woman finally looked at Zhongshan.

"I'm Zhongshan, the princess's bodyguard. I greet the princess." Zhongshan imdiately said.

"Oh? Golden Core stage? Qianyou, when did you get a bodyguard in the Golden Core stage?" The woman imdiately looked at Princess Qianyou in surprise.

"He's my husband." Princess Qianyou looked at Zhongshan and said.

"Husband? Um, like Mr. Shuijing?" The woman imdiately asked.

"Sort of." Princess Qianyou nodded.
