Subsequently, there was a squeaky sound.
Indeed, before the windowsill of Room 86 stood a youth, fair and soothing like jade.
The young man was clad in a green robe.
His frame was slightly frail.
However, in his pair of eyes, there was absolute clarity, mirroring galaxies.
He stood there, like an exiled Immortal descended from above.
Elegant and amiable, yet perpetually possessing the stance unique to the strong!
"Hahaha."
"Rest easy, young friend. If you come another day, I will certainly brew the finest tea to welcome you."
"I am determined to make you chat and laugh at leisure, making you forget yourself and lose track of time."
Seeing Chen Changâan appear as invited, Liang Renxing immediately erupted into hearty laughter.
However, after laughing, he regretfully said to Chen Changâan:
"Unfortunately, I have some matters now, so I can only arrange to meet with you on another day."
"I hope you will understand."
"Please feel free to do so, Master Liang."
Chen Changâan smiled slightly in acknowledgement.
Although he had never met Liang Renxing, they have always been connected spiritually.
Liang Renxing, known to the world as Master Liang, or Prime Minister Liang.
A prime minister of the Daqian Empire for nearly three hundred years.
His literary foundation is quite profound, holding a very high position among the Great Scholars!
In these years, he has been stationed at the Heavenly Masters Mansion of the Daqian Imperial Dynasty.
For the sake of the citizens of Daqian Country and the entire Qianming region, he has fended off the invasion of evil spirits from the northern âEvil Seaâ.
Over the years, because of the existence of this Great Scholar, the people of the Qianming region have been able to live a relatively peaceful life.
One can say, he is truly a person who stabilizes an entire nation!
Liang Renxingâs Confucian cultivation is very profound.
Even deeper than some of the previous sages.
Frankly speaking.
If he hadnât chosen to stay in the Qianming region, but instead chose to travel like other Great Scholars.
By now, he would at least have become a universally renowned Great Sage!
Unfortunately, he did not!
Chen Changâan has never been one to champion superiority.
However, he has always had a good impression of these type of individuals.
Thus, upon hearing Liang Renxingâs goodwill, he then reciprocated Liang Renxingâs words.
"Then, little friend Chen, see you next time."
Liang Renxing nodded, then bid his farewell, and along with the master of the Daqian Imperial Dynasty, Li Xiangtian, they left.
Their initial purpose in attending the auction was to attempt to obtain the âConfucian Bookâ.
Now that they have no chance, thereâs no need for them to remain here.
Their departure doesnât affect the auction.
So, after Liang Renxingâs party left, the auction continued.
"Huh? Elder Brother, theyâve left."
"Did we win?"
Mao Ruxue looked at Chen Changâan and asked excitedly.
Chen Changâan shook his head and said:
"It canât be counted, what if there are others."
"Thereâs never a shortage of rich people in this world."
However, Chen Changâanâs words were obviously superfluous.
No one could bid over twenty-one thousand.
Therefore, without any surprises, the âConfucian Bookâ was quickly won by Mao Ruxue.
When the item was in her hands, the joy expressed by the young girl was beyond words.
"Here, Elder Brother, this is for you."
She walked over and handed the âConfucian Bookâ to Chen Changâan.
"Hmm."
Chen Changâan stretched out his hands to accept; in this private room, he was the only one who wasnât too elated.
The so-called âConfucian Bookâ was of no use to him.
However, it wasnât completely useless.
Taking this item back, if he tinkered with it slightly, he might be able to turn it into a useful item for the juniors.
It could serve as a welfare benefit.
After that, several items were auctioned off in succession.
An impromptu additional period of auction had also taken place upon the stage.
Among them, Chen Changâan also made several bids, acquiring a few items.
However, most of them were rather useless.
The only one of some use was a dusty book, which seemed to be a miscellany taken from the grave of an ancient sage.
This book was a bit powerful. Chen Changâan was attracted as soon as he glanced at it.
For example, the first page of the book contains this description:
â[At that time, I was very poor, still a student.]
â[One day, I passed by a place called the Phoenix Mist Pavilion and met a woman.]â
[Her beauty is fragrant without losing elegance, composed without losing grace. Sheâs so beautiful, like a fairy from the heavens, or an âOuyangâ without its additional strokes...]
[So, I went to look for her.]
[That night, under the moonlit lilypad field, I carried two rods on my shoulder and worked throughout the night.]
"But in the end, I was punished with no food for three days!"
[Hereâs exactly how it went...]
Then, on the second page, the first line after turning the page was;
[The tale I share with my sister-in-law...]
The third page, the fourth page, and more than a thousand pages after that!
This book, itâs wildly revealing.
Whatâs wild isnât just the content, but the stories it tells.
It is said that the owner of this book once suffered an indestructible blow when trying to block the Divine Abyss.
Yet, despite his mortally wounded state, he surprisingly traveled tens of millions of miles throughout the night.
He ran home, sealed this book with his lifelong Confucian Great Law, and then died.
Afterwards, when his descendants discovered they couldnât open the book, they had no choice but to bury it with the great sage.
And not until recently, someone found it in the Divine Abyss and brought it out.
Immediately after reading the first page and table of contents, Chen Changâan closed the book without any hesitation.
This is a great book!
It should be read more and read carefully!
"Senior Brother, eh? Whatâs that book in your hand?"
Upon seeing Chen Changâan, Mao Ruxue immediately came over and asked.
"Nothing much, just some useless miscellaneous records."
"Probably some study material used by people in the past for review, yeah, that should be it." Chen Changâan replied.
"Oh, okay."
Mao Ruxue nodded in a seemingly understanding manner.
Soon, a group of people exited the auction house.
They were initially ready to leave, but were stopped by Chen Changâan.
He took another storage ring out of his pocket and handed it to Mao Ruxue.
He guided everyone through the market trading area for a visit.
After walking around, everyone including Li Zhiwan, each left with one or two items.
Either it was a divine Immortal Sword gleaming with brilliance, or a peculiar and extraordinary treasure.
These items were anything but ordinary.
The prices of these items werenât low.
They were at least super treasures worth hundreds or even thousands of Dao Source Stones.
Immediately, faces of disciples including Li Zhiwan were filled with joy.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day since Chen Changâan and the others arrived at the Tianxiang Pavilion.
The feast set by Yuan Qing Xiangzun, also began on this day.
"Senior Brother, rise and shine."
At the break of dawn in the morning at the Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion guest house, the door of Chen Changâanâs small courtyard was opened.
Mao Ruxue, dressed in a green Luo dress, entered soon after.
Behind her was Li Zhiwan.
During the two days of living together, the relationship between the two unexpectedly improved a lot.
At this moment, when the two entered, Chen Changâan had already gotten up and was drinking tea in the courtyard.
"Disciple Zi Wan greets Uncle-Master."
Compared to Mao Ruxueâs careless demeanor, Li Zhiwan seemed to have a lot more etiquette.
Upon seeing Chen Changâan, she immediately paid her respects.
"Hmm."
Chen Changâan nodded.
"Iâve just made some tea, would you like some?"
Both women shook their heads quickly.
"Alright then."
Chen Changâan nodded, poured himself a small cup, raised the cup, and said:
"Letâs go."
When the three of them arrived at the door, Xuan Qingzi was already waiting there with the other six disciples.
"Greetings to Uncle-Master."
Upon seeing Chen Changâan coming out, the disciples immediately paid their respects.
"Hmm."
Chen Changâan nodded in acknowledgment to them, then said to Xuan Qingzi:
"Senior Brother, itâs getting late, we should leave."
"Alright."
Xuan Qingzi nodded, and they all headed towards the location of the Tianxiang Pavilion incense stone.
However, they hadnât gone far when a woman in a green skirt holding a sword appeared not far in front of them.
"Mr. Chen, we meet again."
"Unexpectedly, I am still the one welcoming you all this time."
Upon seeing Chen Changâanâs group, the woman immediately walked over and said with a smile.
