Chapter 2649: The Cup Never Stops

Compared to the two Yan Dao cultivators who had lost their composure, on the contrary, True Person Xie Ai, kneeling-sitting there, was relatively calm... because she didn't know what this face, this person, meant!

"Everyone, don't be alarmed, it's just an immortal spirit!" Jiang Wang slowly soothed: "Received an edict from the palace, not here for calamity, not come out."

Fu Huan looked again twice, repeatedly confirming that this immortal spirit was just an immortal spirit, with no will of Seven Hates, then pressed down the Yuan Force tide of the Protect-Country Immortal Array.

Being in Da Li, shouldering state affairs, he had to be cautious.

Although after signing the Transcendence Common Agreement, it is almost impossible for Seven Hates to make moves in the present world... but if this possibility truly happened in Li Country, Hong Junyan's grand ambitions would become empty in one night.

In the era before the Dao Calendar newly started, when Transcenders making moves were not yet restricted, how many unreasoned misfortunes happened just like this.

Even now, it is said that Transcenders do not disturb the world, and the world's hegemony struggles also tacitly acknowledge that Transcenders will not intervene. But having one Cry-Temple ancestor would make people more cautious... because that is the power to flip the table.

You believe He will not interfere in the present world's country struggles, but you cannot treat Him as non-existent.

At Fu Huan's level, he understands even more what kind of weight this so-called "immortal spirit only" truly has.

This is flesh cut alive from Seven Hates' body.

If tomorrow Jiang Wang proves Dao to immortality, this is the first move to welcome battle against that Transcended demon!

"This is a matter of the world." Fu Huan ultimately did not sit down again, standing on the cliff facing the wind: "Order Xiao, do not let there be omissions."

Meng Lingxiao bowed his head and responded: "Naturally, I will do my best."

He directly told Jiang Wang: "In the past, I had eyes higher than the top, titled as the first True Person of the Snow Plains, intending to pursue fame in the world. It happened that Wu Zhai Xue was investigating demon nature, searching everywhere for the ancient demon dens in the present world, and found her way to the Snow Plains..."

That legendary Immortal Palace suspended outside the cliff, that legendary "one who writes history for demons," coming and going in the hall, holding scrolls and reading to herself.

Meng Zhenjun and Jiang Zhenjun, at the world's extreme, the mountain's peak, narrating long-ago stories.

Xie Ai listened quietly beside—solely regarding that year's Wu Zhai Xue, she was also among the absolute top of True Persons. Her person and Meng Lingxiao's discourse that year still hold benefits for her today.

Thin ice breaks easily, shallow snow melts early. She has already faded like an epiphyllum, thereafter cherishing the future even more.

How exactly to reach that extraordinary mountain peak?

In a daze, this "consultation" then ended. The Immortal Palace clouds rose without a trace, that person traveled ten thousand li on the wind.

Meng Lingxiao suddenly reacted. Jiang Wang came over this time, chatted about Saint Demon Gong, chatted about Wu Zhai Xue, and even chatted about the Yellow River Meeting. But from beginning to end, he did not mention his sister who is traveling in Li Country, as if genuinely letting her roam free—but he, Meng someone, was suddenly invited to Eternal Saint Winter Peak, and on the way, he had already thought about how to properly explain.

But immediately shook his head and smiled...

What more is there to mention?

Li Country clearly did nothing, it was just Liu Yanzhao who personally had some ideas without inside knowledge. He, Meng Lingxiao, was prepared to give an explanation!

Who could really let Jiang Anan have an accident here?

The polar sky towers extend ten thousand li, snow adjoining snow, making it hard to see miscellaneous colors.

Fu Huan overlooked the mountains, hands behind his back, and said: "The starting point of this time's cooperation is that Your Majesty and Luo Sha Mingyue Jing exchanged immortal methods, exchanging Rindong Immortal Technique for Extreme Bliss Immortal Technique..."

"For Luo Sha Mingyue Jing, solely regarding the matter of completing the immortal technique, exchanging with Jiang Wang is the best choice, because the Immortal Dao general outline is in his hands. By analogy, it is not as good as tracing back to the root after all. Your Majesty also therefore completed the Longevity Chapter. But I don't know why, Luo Sha Mingyue Jing did not do so—"

He paused and asked: "Do they have contradictions?"

Meng Lingxiao's expression was a bit strange: "Based on the situations investigated up to now, the relationship between Jiang Wang and the Three Points Fragrance Building should belong to... regular guest. He has visited branches in many places."

Even Jiang Wang once passed through He Guo, drank wine at the Three Points Fragrance Building there, which he investigated, showing how detailed and serious this investigation was...

"Leaving aside the customer side, he actually has private friendships with the high levels of the Three Points Fragrance Building. He has more or less contact with Tianxiang Yelaner and Xinxiang Xiangling'er."

"This time coming to Meiyue in the Snow Plains, I haven't heard of any public interactions with him."

"But the Three Points Fragrance Building in Tianfu City of Qi Country earlier, and the headquarters of the Three Points Fragrance Building in Linzi later, both have myriad links with Jiang Wang, and the latter was even established with his support. Although the Three Points Fragrance Building in Linzi was Yelaner responsible for promoting, Meiyue was once also responsible for that side later, perhaps therefore having contact with Jiang Wang."

"Comprehensive intelligence from various aspects indicates that Jiang Wang and the Three Points Fragrance Building are mostly in cooperation. Contradictions should not be spoken of. In fact, we always thought he would quickly contact Luo Sha Mingyue Jing to complete the 'Immortal Dao Nine Chapters.' We didn't expect both sides still have some mutual non-interference stance..."

"If one must say... that Shushan great scholar Yan Sheng has already chased Luo Sha Mingyue Jing for many years. And he always reveres Jiang Wang as the successor of the former Yang founding long princess Ji Yanru."

Meng Lingxiao deliberated and said: "Yan Sheng also helped when Jiang Wang sealed the Heavenly People, and he goes to the Baiyu Jing wine house to rest from time to time. His relationship with Jiang Wang should be good. If Jiang Wang also has feelings for him, Luo Sha Mingyue Jing going to Jiang Wang to exchange immortal techniques is a matter not seen to have gains and also not so safe."

"Chu Country's reforms are finished, even few people in Yue Country remember Gao Zheng... Yan Sheng is still pursuing answers." Fu Huan was a bit emotional: "This truly is a quite persistent person."

Meng Lingxiao also sighed: "Otherwise, he wouldn't, after so many years, still call himself a remnant old man of Yang Country."

When he initially hibernated in the frozen snow, Yang Country was still like the sun at its zenith. Ji Yanqiu repeatedly cut off Jing Country's eastward expansion and left a rich political legacy. Upon awakening, the stars had shifted. Those once unbeatable opponents had all exited the Six Harmonies Emperor's battlefield in various ways...

But the situation today has still not become simple. Strong ones of one era fell, strong ones of another era dominate the winds and clouds.

Back then, it was hard to exit the Snow Plains, and now he is still trapped in the Snow Plains.

Fu Huan overlooked the mountains he had guarded for so many years, thought of his and Hong Junyan's cause: "This also proves Yang Country's former glory. To this day, someone is still willing to dedicate a lifetime for it."

"Some things... those that could be completed were completed long ago. To this day, we all already know that Yan Sheng cannot kill Luo Sha Mingyue Jing. But he regards his pursuit of Luo Sha Mingyue Jing as a kind of punishment, thereby disturbing Luo Sha Mingyue Jing's layouts, influencing the future of the Three Points Fragrance Building. After the Qiantang River dike, Luo Sha Mingyue Jing no longer publicly appeared. What she dreads is not only Yan Sheng, but also Shushan behind Yan Sheng."

To this day, Fu Huan no longer needs to think alone, but the long time has also long ago tested his wisdom.

He pondered and said: "The Three Points Fragrance Building comes to the door at this time. Luo Sha Mingyue Jing seeking the last step reveals a sense of urgency. Theoretically, we can seize more benefits in this transaction. But we also need to guard against making wedding clothes for others."

"Your meaning is..." Meng Lingxiao understood at once: "Luo Sha Mingyue Jing... is it possible she is deliberately showing weakness with this?"

"In the past, with the fall of Nando Palace, Chu Liesong laid a big game, using the Longevity Monarch to repair his name, to fill the last piece. He made the nameless one in the fallen immortals forest confirm his name and die. But we also cannot ignore that in this game, the Three Points Fragrance Building obtained the freedom of Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens, and Luo Sha Mingyue Jing picked off the calamitous fruit." Fu Huan emphasized: "This is a great sect inherited for tens of thousands of years. The calamitous fruit born from Nando Palace is enough to push Luo Sha Mingyue Jing to an unimaginable realm. Against her current self, I also dare not speak of victory."

Luo Sha Mingyue Jing says she is cooperating with Li Country, but is there a possibility of overturning Li Country? If Li Country ripens this calamitous fruit, it may far surpass that of Nando Palace.

Solely relying on Luo Sha Mingyue Jing herself, of course, she cannot do such a thing. The widely spread Three Points Fragrance Building in the world is also weak in front of Li Country! But just like Nando Palace was once Chu Country's chess piece... what if Luo Sha Mingyue Jing has support from other forces?

Li Country is exerting full effort to go upwards. How could the world's hegemonic countries, feeling the threat, not want to press it underwater?

Meng Lingxiao listened and understood Fu Huan's hidden worries, and also began to review this cooperation once again: "At that time, it was precisely Meiyue who represented the Three Points Fragrance Building in Nando Palace. Because the entire Nando secret realm was sealed by the Chu army, we have no way of knowing the specific war process. But from some details captured, Meiyue played a big role in it. She should have supernatural powers to manipulate hearts, and therefore gained rich resources from the war, only then could she achieve True Person. Our originally set cooperation plan with the Three Points Fragrance Building was towards the east..."

He paused, skipping the specific plan: "This woman, Meiyue, performed brilliantly in the fall of Nando Palace, yet successfully hid her name and escaped. Doing such big things, she was still not much guarded against, showing she is very skilled at self-preservation. But if she is filled into this game, I fear no good fortune. I think I have always ignored this problem—whether she is willing to sacrifice for Luo Sha Mingyue Jing?"

It seems a matter of course for the members of the Three Points Fragrance Building to sacrifice for Luo Sha Mingyue Jing, especially high-level ones like Tianxiang and Xinxiang. Initially, Fengxiang Zhenren openly went to die without any hesitation. Meiyue entered Nando Palace also as a body filling the dead eye...

But this time, Meiyue's action was not as resolute as before. Especially in Jiguang City, she actually walked together with Jiang Anan.

Fu Huan said: "Meiyue was originally a role that need not be thought about, but now needs to be thought about a bit."

Meng Lingxiao had thoughts earlier, and at this moment, he also said: "In Jiguang City, I then considered this possibility—she looks like she is personally protecting Jiang Wang's sister to avoid unnecessary troubles, but looking back, how is it not Jiang Anan protecting her? Jiang Anan will necessarily attract Jiang Wang's attention, and Jiang Wang's attention is a variable we absolutely cannot ignore... Our plan had to temporarily stop, and she thereby completed self-rescue."

"What's important is not what this woman thinks. It is whether Jiang Wang allows this kind of utilization." Fu Huan shook his head: "Stop the plan."

What Meng Lingxiao said to Meiyue was "the plan temporarily stops," which was to have Meiyue persuade Jiang Anan away, give Li Country an explanation again, and still focus on promoting cooperation.

While Fu Huan directly stopped the plan, what he wanted was Luo Sha Mingyue Jing's explanation!

Meng Lingxiao was stunned for a moment. He agreed with Fu Huan's caution, but felt Fu Huan was overly cautious. It is indeed necessary to seriously review partners, but is it necessary to completely stop a big plan that has been advancing for so long because of a little bit of trouble?

Although this cooperation is what the Three Points Fragrance Building seeks, for Li Country, it is truly a very good opportunity. It is hard to say exactly who needs whom more. This group of so-called "far people" who were ice-sealed over from several thousand years ago are very eager to prove themselves in this era.

Only by pushing Li Country to the name of hegemony can they be considered truly to have found their position in the new era.

But Fu Huan's decision is Hong Junyan's decision. No matter how absurd or unreasonable it looks... Hong Junyan gave Fu Huan unlimited power. Hong Junyan's rivers and mountains can completely be footnoted by Fu Huan's words.

Even he, Meng Lingxiao, who also poured his lifetime into this cause and is Hong Junyan's absolute trusted minister, cannot shake this weight.

So he just responded with a sound and then left on his own.

"Draw the sun bow to kill the blue dog, wear stars and moon another year." Fu Huan alone overlooked the mountains, suddenly sighed.

Xie Ai felt the difficulty. Year after year of effort, day after day of climbing... the mountain is still the mountain.

Even an absolute world figure like Fu Huan also has to sigh about the passage of time?

"You should take care of the little girl traveling in the Polar Sky Towers." Fu Huan said again.

With a brother like Jiang Wang, Jiang female hero's Jianghu adventure can indeed only be counted as travel...

Of course, although there is no final danger, the due tempering can still be achieved. Even life and death crisis can truly be felt—in the full of illusions life valley, with Jiang Anan's realm cultivation, it is still not sufficient to judge whether she will really welcome death.

Xie Ai's mood inexplicably diverged. In her mouth, she said: "Do I need to make some arrangements?"

"No need to be too deliberate." Fu Huan gazed into the distance with his hands behind his back, without turning back: "What kind of people will come to the Polar Sky Towers, what kind of things will happen. Let the ones that should meet meet, and let the ones that should experience experience. Stop when true danger occurs."

"Additionally—" He instructed again: "You find and carefully look at the intelligence from Yong Country's side."

"Understood." Xie Ai put down the wine vessel that Jiang Wang had drunk from, filled another cup for Fu Huan, then got up and walked down the mountain peak.

Her skin color was white, almost transparent, and her blood was like blue.

Her figure was overly thin, just like slender leaves floating in the wind.

Yong Country, which is like flowers on brocade, boiling oil in fire?

Tonight, the cold wind should blow to.

Descending the mountain, she vaguely heard singing. She didn't know who was singing, but it was ethereal and sobbing—

"Glass cup, exquisite goblet, drink up, drink up..."

Drinking wine on the mountain peak, banqueting tea at the bottom of the water.

After Ao Shuyi's death, the Long River Dragon Palace was then empty.

There are no more Dragon Palace banquets in the human world, only empty wine cups placed on the seats.

Without silk and bamboo in the ears, always without guests.

Fu Yunqin was unwilling to move in, unwilling to use the name of the Dragon Palace manager to substitute its name and carry out its orders. Such a large water race, there was no second person qualified to enter.

A simple hut was built outside the palace, waiting for a noble person today.

Fu Yunqin stood respectfully, unwilling to sit.

"Total Manager Fu." Jiang Wang's face was helpless: "You are an elder, I am a junior. If you don't sit, how can I sit?"

Fu Yunqin is an abnormally stubborn guy, otherwise he would not have been silenced and hung on Guanhe Platform for so long initially. Jiang Wang said his piece, and he said his: "If not for the benefactor, the water race would have almost nowhere to stand! With the honored one in front, where can a commoner have a seat?"

He reached out to pull open a chair for Jiang Wang: "Please sit down quickly. Try the new tea I brewed."

"Don't call me benefactor." Jiang Wang had no choice but to use his trump card: "Excessive rites and short life, heavy intention and thin fortune. If you do this, I won't dare to visit afterwards."

Fu Yunqin was stunned for a while, only then saying: "Then... Jiang Jun."

He again said lowly: "Also don't call me Total Manager Fu, the Long River Dragon Palace no longer exists. If Jiang Jun doesn't abandon, then just call me 'Yunqin'!"

Regarding the address, they had actually quarreled for a long time. This "benefactor," he was unwilling to change no matter what.

But today, he indeed could not let Jiang Wang leave just like this...

Jiang Wang also sighed in his heart, his face, of course, was gentle as usual: "Uncle Fu, let's sit down and talk, how about it? All standing here, staring at each other with big eyes, it instead seems estranged!"

Fu Yunqin was unwilling to be estranged from Jiang Wang, so he called for a square stool and sat on half his buttocks. He respectfully accompanied him beside, acting with the rites of a minister. He said in his mouth: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk... Come, Jiang Jun, drink tea."

He again carefully went to pour tea.

"Uncle Fu, some words, if we close the door, we can still say a few more sentences." Jiang Wang looked at him, half reminding: "Earlier at the water control conference, I relied on my youth and said a few words. But things could have a relatively satisfactory result, fundamentally, because the world tolerated me. It was because the emperors of various countries did not forget the achievements of the water race and could remember the former virtues of the Dragon Monarch."

Fu Yunqin was ultimately not ignorant of the world. He was silent for a moment, then said: "We of course know the graces of the various emperors! We will not forget this life!"

But after respecting one sentence, he immediately said again: "But it is even more impossible for us to forget Jiang Jun's great kindness. The water race are not beasts, they have love and hate, they have a true heart. A true heart... can know a true heart!"
