Chapter 2210: Universal Harmony, Justice for All

"Hey— don't go!"

"Brother Dou, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Stay and chat with colleagues for a few more sentences! The heroic stories of you sweeping across the border wilderness—"

No matter how Jiang Wang called out, Dou Zhao didn't turn his head again.

He left behind a sentence, "Something came up," and then left without looking back.

Jiang Wang's mood improved significantly.

So much so that when he saw Zuo Guangshu, the smile on his face still lingered.

Zuo Guangshu looked at him suspiciously: "Still so happy after being deceived?"

"Being deceived today, he can only borrow my reputation, and he hasn't even fully borrowed it yet. As our friendship deepens in the future, the deception might not be limited to this." Jiang Wang laughed leisurely: "This is preventing collapse from happening at the ant nest, why shouldn't I be happy?"

"That makes a lot of sense... but I always feel like it's not just that." Zuo Guangshu laughed twice, seeing Jiang Wang happy, and also started to feel happy: "Let's go, let's go to Huang Liang Terrace."

Jiang Wang patted his arm affectionately: "I brought some specialties from the demon world as gifts. Let me go visit Huai Guogong and the Eldest Princess first."

The gift he gave to Huai Guogong was a spirit feather from a genuine Feather race demon, crafted into a feather arrow, for decorating his martial arts display.

The gift for the Great Chu Eldest Princess, Yu Yun, was a complete Mu Xue Begonia, still wrapped in soil from the demon world. This item is produced in the demon world and is often used to make beauty pills because of its beautifying effect.

However, Huai Guogong was not in Chu at this time, so the gift could only be left for Guangshu to deliver.

The Eldest Princess was very happy to receive the Mu Xue Begonia, but she looked at Jiang Wang and said: "I am already old, where do I still need beautifying? The one you should send it to, have you sent it?"

Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed: "Sent."

Zuo Guangshu chimed in from the side: "He plundered a flower garden and sent it to everyone! Sister Shun Hua has it too!"

Jiang Wang quickly said: "This one is the best!"

Xiong Jingyu then laughed: "Ah, you don't understand women's minds. The Mu Xue Begonia is a precious gift, you send it to your aunt, and your aunt is very happy. You send it to Shun Hua, and Shun Hua is also joyful. But if you send the same gift to so many people, then it's not good to send it to the girl you like—'different from others' is the true meaning of giving gifts."

Jiang Wang scratched his head: "A gift that is different from others may not be easy to find."

Xiong Jingyu laughed more happily: "Silly child, what I mean by 'different from others' is not how great this gift is. But you have to use this act of giving a gift to let the girl you like realize how different she is to you from others. You always treat her differently from others, understand?"

Jiang Wang said: "I treat her, differently from others... is different."

Xiong Jingyu's laughing eyes were gentle: "Then use gifts to emphasize this point."

Jiang Wang listened very carefully, word by word, sentence by sentence.

Seeing his clumsy appearance, Xiong Jingyu thought for a moment: "Qing Yang, I have a gift I want to give you, I wonder if you... are taboo about it."

Jiang Wang quickly stood up from his seat, bowed deeply: "Aunt, what are you saying? Jiang Wang already considers this place home, if an elder bestows a gift, I am overjoyed."

Xiong Jingyu took out an exquisite, palm-sized phoenix feather white jade box from her storage box, rotated the jade carved feather, and opened the lid—

Inside was a pair of water drop-shaped earrings that looked like gold and jade. The treasure light was concealed, and the spiritual energy was faint. Complex array patterns were engraved into magnificent designs. They were like a piece of cloud, like a piece of sea, like a golden jade phoenix about to fly away at any moment.

"When Guang Lie was still very young, I just thought, what he would look like when he grew up, what kind of woman he would marry, and what kind of life he would live. I don't expect her to have vast wealth, I don't expect her to be stunningly beautiful, she doesn't need to be some peerless genius or imperial relative, I only hope they truly love each other..." Xiong Jingyu said softly: "This pair of earrings, I prepared it for my daughter-in-law. I can't say how precious it is, but it is indeed unique. I want to give it to you, and I hope you can meet a woman who truly loves you and is truly loved by you, and at the time you think is right, give this pair of earrings to her. Are you willing to accept it?"

Jiang Wang could completely feel that heavy emotion.

It was a mother's blessing to her child.

That expectant gaze in her eyes, behind that gaze, was the journey from babbling, to stumbling, to high-spirited, and then on a path of no return.

Of course, he couldn't say the word "refuse", he just subconsciously glanced at Guangshu.

Zuo Guangshu raised his hand and said carefree: "My share was a bracelet, and it was tricked away by Sister Shun Hua when we were young."

Jiang Wang received the jade box with both hands and bowed heavily to Xiong Jingyu.

At this moment, no other words were needed.

In the Jianwo Building, the two sat facing each other.

Zuo Guangshu didn't call any accompanying guests, so the two brothers drank face to face.

Recalling the first time they came here years ago, there were five people at the table, Qu Shunhua, Ye Laner, Chu Yuzhi, Jiang Wang, and Zuo Guangshu, which could be considered lively.

Now Chu Yuzhi had long since broken ties with the aristocratic families, Ye Laner had followed Three Points Fragrance Building and left Chu, Qu Shunhua was on the front line of conquering Nan Dou Hall...

The table was still filled with the world's finest delicacies, but the state of mind of the people enjoying the feast was already vastly different.

"Speaking of which, how has Chu Yuzhi been in recent years?" Jiang Wang casually asked about his old friend.

Among all the gradually fading passersby, Chu Yuzhi was one who left a deep impression on him. This was a person who dared to say "the country's ills lie with the aristocratic families" in Chu.

Zuo Guangshu put down his wine cup and picked up his chopsticks: "Just so-so. His future in court is basically cut off, there is no possibility of upward movement. However, he leads and has built a Same Meaning Society, which is developing quite well, and many of the core members are lower-level officials."

"Same Meaning Society." Jiang Wang savored the name for a moment: "What is their society's principle?"

Zuo Guangshu said: "The world is one, everyone is of the same mind."

This boy may not appear to care much on the surface, but he was actually quite concerned about Chu Yuzhi's development, otherwise, he wouldn't be so clear about this Same Meaning Society and could state its principle so easily.

Jiang Wang pressed the wine cup: "What a grand statement."

Zuo Guangshu was no longer the naive young man he was at the beginning, he was the young duke of Great Chu, destined to shoulder the responsibilities of the Zuo family. Regarding the Same Meaning Society, he had his own understanding: "The society's principle must be a little grand, if it's too specific, the society can't function."

Jiang Wang asked again: "How is his cultivation now?"

Zuo Guangshu said: "Still in the Outer Building realm. Now he is distracted by society affairs, it's probably even harder for him to reach the God's Path realm."

Chu Yuzhi was originally a promising youth with a great future, he was a rising star in the army, an existence whose name was known among the younger generation in Chu. Now, he was basically lagging behind his peers in all aspects, because he was walking on a road destined to be difficult.

He won the quota for the Mountain Sea realm through his own efforts, but gained nothing within the Mountain Sea realm, destined to face powerful pressure. His divine soul was damaged in the Mountain Sea realm, yet he refused Zuo Guangshu's Yuan Soul Pill. When he needed help the most, he refused the friendship of Zuo Guangshu and Qu Shunhua, vowing to pave a road for the common people of Chu—

Now, he himself couldn't even move forward a few steps.

Reality is always crueler than imagination.

And how long can the glory of ideals shine?

Jiang Wang sighed softly, not speaking.

Of course, he didn't look down on Chu Yuzhi.

A person like Chu Yuzhi, as long as he is willing to bow, he will lack nothing.

The more difficult the situation, the more it illustrates his persistence.

"Big brother cares about him a lot?" Zuo Guangshu asked.

"He is a person who has found his own path and persists in moving forward." Jiang Wang said: "If such people didn't exist in the world, it would be very lonely."

"Do you think he can succeed?" Zuo Guangshu had an answer in his heart, but he still asked this.

"Before reaching the end, who can say this is the end point?" Jiang Wang inexplicably thought of Xiao Shu who fell in Bu Shu City, and said slowly: "At least he knows what he wants to do, and persists in his correctness. Just these two points alone have surpassed too many people in the world. He is worth respecting."

Among the multitude of beings, many are ignorant!

Too many people are blankly unaware of the path ahead, and their lives are muddled.

And those who abandon their ideals halfway, change their tune, and lose themselves are even more numerous and difficult to count.

Zuo Guangshu said: "Let's talk about something else."

Jiang Wang then asked: "Is there some important person from Three Points Fragrance Building in the Nan Dou secret realm?"

Zuo Guangshu smiled: "Why do you ask?"

Jiang Wang said: "On the way to Chu, I just encountered Dou Zhao chasing and killing Feng Xiang Zhenren of Three Points Fragrance Building. According to reason, Three Points Fragrance Building should have withdrawn long ago after their operation failed, so why is Dou Zhao still catching high-level individuals? So I guess, they may still have some important person who hasn't left, leading others to come and rescue them."

Zuo Guangshu gave a thumbs up: "Jiang Zhenren is truly peerless! His vision reaches ten thousand miles, and he sees through autumn hair!"

Jiang Wang slapped his thumb down with one hand: "Say something I don't know!"

Zuo Guangshu laughed: "Fa Luo has already been killed by Dou Zhao, that important person shouldn't be there. At most, there's a woman named Mei Yue in the Nan Dou secret realm, she seems to be some Heart Fragrance First? A small fry in the God's Path realm, not worth mentioning."

Having become accustomed to educating An An, Jiang Wang had the self-awareness of an older brother, and quickly knocked him: "So arrogant now? God's Path realm is a small fry? What realm are you in?"

"Don't be like that, God's Path also has levels, doesn't it? Otherwise, why is it that you created the border wilderness limit in the God's Path realm, and Zhong Li Yan created the flower limit in the God's Path realm?"

"This flower... limit, what does that mean?"

Zuo Guangshu laughed: "His father sent a lot of Yuan Stones and various materials to Mu country, the convoy went several times just to bring him back. It is said that he was beaten into a pig's head in the border wilderness, and Hu Yan Jingxuan personally protected his life and treated his injuries, the price was probably high... He just went to challenge your record, didn't you know?"

"The ransom was actually by the cartload." Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh: "This Hu Yan Jingxuan's methods are truly ruthless!"

Zuo Guangshu smiled: "Speaking of the God's Path realm of Three Points Fragrance Building, only one Ye Laner is worth fearing— I wonder if she is in the Cave True realm now?"

Jiang Wang glanced at him: "You haven't made many friends either, and they are all people who are not on the same path as you."

Zuo Guangshu didn't show any annoyance, instead, he laughed: "Life doesn't need too many friends, especially since I will be in charge of the Zuo family later— at least Sister Shun Hua and you, big brother, are still here. Isn't that enough?"

This boy is not easy to tease angry now, which is less interesting than before.

Jiang Wang knocked on the table: "Let's get back to the main topic."

Seeing this, Zuo Guangshu wasn't in a hurry, and deliberately changed the subject: "Ye Laner went to Qi country and still found your connection, so you don't understand Three Points Fragrance Building?"

Jiang Wang said: "Only limited to repaying a favor."

Zuo Guangshu laughed: "Then this Heart Fragrance First, Mei Yue, have you seen her? It is said that she is a devastating beauty who can seduce souls."

"I haven't seen her. But you don't mind continuing to talk about these things, what sky fragrance, what heart fragrance." Jiang Wang looked at him: "I will repeat your exact words to Shun Hua."

Zuo Guangshu giggled: "You don't know this, I heard all this from Sister Shun Hua. She often discusses these things with me."

Jiang Wang had nothing to say, and just drank the soup.

Zuo Guangshu then said: "They stole the Cave Heaven treasure Peach Blossom Source, and are currently hiding in the Nan Dou secret realm. An Guogong intends to extend the battle line, just to make these people move their thoughts. One Fa Luo is nothing, Luo Sha Ming Yue Jing is the big fish."

Jiang Wang stopped his spoon: "Speaking of this Luo Sha Ming Yue Jing, my ears are getting calluses, but besides knowing that she is the building master of Three Points Fragrance Building, I know nothing else— what exactly is her origin? So ostentatious yet so mysterious?"

Zuo Guangshu shook his head: "This person has always been very mysterious, she has been in Chu country for so many years, but only a few people have actually seen her, she is like a cloud in the fog, unclear. Perhaps Grandpa knows something, if you are curious, you can ask him yourself later."

"Oh?" Jiang Wang was genuinely curious now: "They..."

Zuo Guangshu shook his head quickly: "I didn't say anything! Don't guess!"

Jiang Wang was suddenly alert, and looked at Zuo Guangshu suspiciously: "Are you curious yourself and want me to ask for you?"

Zuo Guangshu immediately patted his chest: "Big brother, you understand me! How could I not?"

"It's because I understand you too well, you are no longer as pure as you were before!" Jiang Wang lowered his voice: "I won't tell on you either, if you have any clues, take them out and we can analyze them together."

Zuo Guangshu chuckled, and moved his chair closer: "Let me tell you, in Grandpa's study..."

"Zhong Shan Wei Sun, requesting an audience with the General!"

In front of Du E Peak, the Great Chu army camp.

The rolling soldier's evil replaced the thick clouds, and the Shen Xiao Phoenix flag burned in the air like a flame.

Thousands of miles around were all battlefields.

Zhong Shan Wei Sun was once again turned away.

"Not seeing!"

"Not seeing!"

"Not seeing!"

"Said not seeing!"

"This is a military important place, please show respect!"

Zhong Shan Wei Sun dusted off his sleeves, nodded lightly, turned and left, and went to the next camp.

Outside the vast Du E Peak, there were dense army camps.

He was not qualified to visit An Guogong Wu Zhao Chang, he could only knock on the camps of the deputy generals one by one, trying to find a way to pass a message to someone who could speak up— a noble son of the esteemed Zhong Shan family, he originally shouldn't have been reduced to even this point.

But since he passed on the news of him using a disguise through a secret channel, those channels were cut off overnight.

At this time, he could no longer represent Ying Yang Fu, he only represented himself.

However, even these deputy generals, who usually weren't enough for him, didn't give him face. Dao Yuan Stones, which were usually unimpeded everywhere, couldn't be given out at all.

He knew he had probably offended someone.

That person wasn't Jiang Wang. A person like Jiang Wang, since he didn't say anything at that time, wouldn't make small moves behind the scenes.

Then was it a Chu noble who couldn't stand him using a disguise?

Or was it Jiang Wang's friend, who couldn't stand Jiang Wang being deceived, and stepped forward for him?

Zhong Shan Wei Sun didn't say anything, he just walked slowly, thinking about where to start— it seemed he couldn't get through in the army.

On the edge of the solemn battlefield where the number of personnel was counted in tens of thousands, he walked alone, like dust drifting outside the world.

At a certain moment, his heart suddenly felt something, and he looked up—

He saw a majestic figure soaring through the air, his body was imposing, like a soaring peak. The headband that wrapped his eyes floated in the wind, resembling the cloud shadows on the mountain top.

None other than the world-renowned son of the Xiang family!
