Chapter 354 -291 Acquaintance_2

“They’ll be taken care of by me!”

It was a pleasant-sounding female voice, and the person who arrived was Zhu Xiao.

“Store Manager!”

Li Yun naturally knew that the Store Manager had arrived, but he hadn’t expected the Store Manager to be acquainted with his benefactor.

Speaking of which, to be able to work as a shopkeeper was also an opportunity given to him by the Store Manager; both were his benefactors.

Over a decade had passed, and now both his benefactors had met here, which was quite a marvel!

With a sigh of reflection, he went to make the arrangements himself.

He had to arrange things well for both his benefactors, especially since one of them was his immediate superior.

Zhu Xiao and Wang Sheng sat down face to face, with Yue acting as if she didn’t exist.

“I really didn’t expect you to come,” Zhu Xiao genuinely expressed her surprise. Wang Sheng looked like a wandering cultivator, yet he had come to take part in the affairs of the Shengshi Army.

“The leader of the Shengshi Army, Mo Yang, is an acquaintance of mine, and I was invited.”

“You seem to be in secluded cultivation, but in reality, your connections are quite extensive!”

With five major powers in the world, Wang Sheng had ties with two of them.

That wasn’t something just anybody could achieve.

“Pure coincidence!”

He himself hadn’t expected such a turn of events.

“Coincidence… that’s not something just anyone can stumble upon. I have some information related to the Shengshi Army, would you like to know?” Zhu Xiao produced a stack of papers.

After handing them over, even she seemed surprised — it was out of habit!

Wang Sheng smiled, took the intelligence, and said, “I guess this information is about someone wanting to stop the Shengshi Army from founding a nation?”

Zhu Xiao nodded.

The reason previous dynasties could be established without interference was that the four dynasties did so simultaneously, ensuring their safety.

But the Shengshi Army wouldn’t have that luxury.

Other monarchies certainly wouldn’t stand idly by.

“This information is a gift to you!”

Zhu Xiao’s intention was clear; Wang Sheng could give this intelligence to Mo Yang.

Originally, she would have likely wanted to sell it for some money.

“Thank you for your kindness, but it’s not necessary. If one wishes to establish a dynasty, some things must be achieved with one’s own strength.”

This crisis could only be overcome if Mo Yang and his people firmly established themselves.

And given the state of the Shengshi Army, Mo Yang was surely prepared; Wang Sheng felt there was no need for him to interfere.

“Suit yourself!”

Zhu Xiao had no particular opinion about Wang Sheng’s attitude, and the two of them continued to chat casually.

The conversation largely revolved around Dragon Smoke.

“Are you referring to your child?”

“You really know how to joke!”

…

“Don’t they need to eat?”

“Their condition is special, they don’t need to eat.” What would the Five Internal Gods need food for?

After the meal, Wang Sheng and Yue headed to the house arranged by Mo Yang and Xing.

Both were placed in different locations.

Of course, Mo Yang and Xing had no idea they knew each other.

As soon as Yue entered the courtyard, she saw a familiar person, Xing.

“Have a seat!”

Without hesitation, Yue sat down across from Xing.

“I’m about to become a Great Grandmaster!” Xing was the first to break the silence, referencing the initial wager between them.

If one were to become a Great Grandmaster first, then the legacy of Stargazing Valley would be passed down by the one who had the breakthrough.

Yue fell silent for a while, then said, “If that’s the case, then carry on the inheritance of Stargazing Valley well, but I hope you won’t let Stargazing Valley completely enter the court.”

In fact, after learning from Wang Sheng about Xing and Mo Yang’s affairs, he knew he was likely to be outpaced by Xing.

He had to admit, Xing trading the world for following the Heir of Destiny did indeed make his cultivation speed much faster.

Of course, he could have sought Wang Sheng’s help, and Wang Sheng even hinted at it; call it being obstinate or whatever else, he had refused, intending to rely on himself.

That’s why he transitioned to the path of Spiritual Cultivation so willingly.

As for not wishing Stargazing Valley to fully enter the court, he still feared the deceitfulness of the court would lead to the discontinuation of Stargazing Valley’s legacy.

But before Yue could speak again, Xing continued, “After following Xuan Yang for so long, I’ve understood some things. The path I’ve taken is full of hardships, and even now it seems like I’m on the verge of success, but one false step could lead to disaster. So Yue, I hope you can continue to pass these teachings on…”

Xing took out a book.

Clearly, it was the inheritance of Xing’s self-cultivation.

“This can be considered my request, I will still take disciples, but if my lineage is ever wiped out, there will at least be an inheritance… Besides, let’s consider the bet void!”

Yue thought about the items she had prepared before coming and suddenly smiled.

“Since you, the winner, are saying so, naturally I have no objections.”

The two had grown up together; some things didn’t need to be spelled out.

…

Meanwhile, Wang Sheng had also encountered an acquaintance, Mo Yang.

However, they didn’t talk much.

The ideals might not have changed, but Mo Yang was no longer the Mo Yang of before; he was Xuan Yang Gong, as well as a future king of a dynasty.

They could only be considered friends now, not much was said.

Watching Mo Yang walk away, Wang Sheng felt a touch of emotion.

Almost twenty years, acquaintances, have become mere acquaintances!

The two sat together, finding that there wasn’t much to say, maybe Mo Yang had come to him solely because that incident had a profound impact on him…

Time flew quickly, and before long, the day of nation founding had arrived, in the original Zhou calendar, the year 553, the first day of the ninth month.

The process of nation founding was complicated, and Wang Sheng didn’t know it well, so he just watched the ceremony from the spectator’s area.

Everything proceeded according to the established process.

Soon, it reached the final step, Mo Yang, as the king, began the prayer.

“All the people under heaven…”

But before he could finish, a voice came from the sky.

“Establishing a country is not allowed!”

To make such a declaration at this stage was an obvious affront.

Mo Yang’s expression darkened as he recognized the voice.

“Wu Qingfeng, must you really be so obstinate?”

“To establish a country, pass this test first!” Another voice followed, this time a woman’s, Zheng Xueyue.

It seemed there would be a third, but astonishingly no one from the Ming Dynasty came.

“If so, let’s prove it with a fight!”

Mo Yang had anticipated this and shot into the sky.

Shortly after, intense sounds of battle erupted in the heavens.

At the same time, a voice rang out: “Xing, become the Great Grandmaster at this moment, the dynasty must be established!”

Xing made his move; he could have become a Great Grandmaster at any moment, waiting just for this instant.

As he announced this, a voice resounded throughout Shengjing: “The dynasty must be established!”

Like the Taiping Sect, the collective vision of countless people burst forth with powerful momentum, seemingly supporting Mo Yang and Xing in the sky.

In terms of solidarity, Mo Yang’s Shengshi Army was in no way inferior.

Wang Sheng gazed at the scene in the sky and sighed.
