't disturb you." Jiang Wang bowed slightly, then led the shadow guard named Qing Zhuan away."Just let them go like that" A subordinate approached, asking as he watched the two figures walk away."What...Zhongshan Weishun slammed heavily onto the ground. The earth cracked around him, spiderweb-like fissures radiating from his spine.

Huang Sheli was truly furious.

She can laugh and joke, she can banter playfully, she can disregard social hierarchy, she doesn't care about those things. But she cannot accept deception, she cannot tolerate being used.

Zhongshan Weishun took advantage of Huang Sheli's trust and lured her to the Southern Region to speak up for his own personal affairs!

For a unique delicacy, for a landscape found nowhere else, they would fly thousands of miles. For these elite families, such journeys were nothing out of the ordinary.

One aspect of power is "being willful".

She thought Zhongshan Weisun might have other ideas, but she didn't expect Zhongshan Weisun to be so foolish—to go this far for a friend who is far away in the Southern Region.

When Chu was doing business in the south, Weizi Sun, a person from Jing State, ran over to interfere and even lured both her and Jiang Wang here!

Longboji is a friend, isn't she Huang Sheli isn't, is she Jiang Wang couldn't be, could he

She and Jiang Wang went to the desolate frontier to slay demons. It wasn't a leisurely trip, but a true test of life and death, with constant danger lurking around every corner. They were on a mission to eliminate the true demon, always ready to face celestial demons.

They remained on high alert throughout their time in the desolate borderlands, never letting their guard down even for a moment. Although they hadn't encountered any true demons yet, the mental strain of these past few days was evident. However, they still accepted Zhong Shan Wei Sun's invitation to dinner, and even flew thousands of miles from afar to the Southern Region, so eager for a taste of good wine and new experiences. Had they never been treated like this before

It's just that I think Zhongshan Weishun is a decent person and I'm willing to be friends with him.

Please note: The original text was empty within the > tags. Therefore, the translation is also empty.

But Zhongshan Weishun did not cherish it at all.

Or, in his eyes, Jiang Wang and Huang Sheli's kindness were all bargaining chips to be exchanged for Long Boji. Long Boji's life and death superseded everything else, and he had already made his choice.

"Ugh...ah..." Zhongshan Wei, supported by both hands on the ground, slowly pushed himself up.

His unkempt, muddy hair hung down to the ground. He faced the yellow earth and gasped for breath with all his might, blood dripping from his face onto the mud, drop by drop.

“I, Zhong Shan Wei Sun, am truly despicable today.”

“Two esteemed members of the Tai Xu Pavilion, true masters of this era, deign to look upon me and are willing to share a drink with me, attend my banquet—this brings great honor to me. You treat me with sincerity, yet I deceive you in return. Truly, I am ashamed.”

“But—” he raised his head, blood-soaked and muddied face staring at Huang Sheli and Jiang Wang: “If I could think of even a sliver of a way out, I wouldn’t tarnish my reputation like this.”

"Both of you, I've known Long Boji for many years. We are kindred spirits, true friends who connect deeply. These past years, I've been confined by the shackles of being called the 'Heir of the Zhongshan Family,' living a life behind a mask of civility and refinement. Everything that is ambitious, unrestrained, and wild within me, I dare not let others see."

"There aren't many people who truly know me. I wonder how many people, after knowing my rude side, would still consider me a friend"

“Today’s Nandou Hall is in a huge vortex, and with just one misstep, too many people and things could be destroyed. I want to help my friends on this sinking ship. But honestly, I don't have the ability. I don't have Jiang Zhenren’s power, but I do have Jiang Zhenren’s feelings.”

“I know some people in Chu, but they can't help me.”

There's only one friend I know fairly well and who holds some standing. Unfortunately, his name is Wuling, and he met an unfortunate end earlier on. I don't want Long Boji to be another unlucky friend I've lost in Nan Yu.

“What I say are all flimsy excuses, all explanations for myself. However, both of you, I do not seek your forgiveness.”

>

Although Zhongshan Weishun's body was severely injured, he gasped and said: "I just want to tell you what I am capable of doing for this matter, what I am willing to pay. Sister Sheli, haven't you always been interested in Xiayuan Spring I am willing to transfer all my shares of Xiayuan Spring to you. And Brother Jiang, your Yunding Xian Palace was shattered in Tiansheng City, and it hasn't been repaired until now, right I will help you gather the materials for repairing the Immortal Palace."

"All I ask is for you to speak up on my behalf."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He looked up desperately at the two Tai Xu Pavilion members like a dried-up fish on shore: “Long Boji is merely a divine cultivator. He poses no threat to Chu State, and Chu State will save face. As long as you speak up for us — ”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“That’s enough.” Huang Sheli interrupted him: “How did Jiang Wang earn his face Was it by crawling on the ground like you begging for it You take our face too lightly and yourself too seriously!”

“Do you think you, Sun from Zhongshan Wei, have any weight Do you really have enough weight to need to use us What does a dry share of Xiaoyaoquan amount to Does this old lady lack money This old lady likes making money, but how many people want to give me money and can't even get close to me!”

“I should have killed Long Boji with my own hands and given Jiang Wang an explanation. And let you know the consequences of using me, to dispel the hatred in my heart. This is my temperament!” Huang Sheli raised his finger and pointed at Zhongshan Weison: “But after all, I’ve known you, Zhongshan Weison, for so many years. Seeing you like this now, useless, I really can't bring myself to do it. But remember, there won't be a next time. Everything in the past is void.”

Zhongshan Weishun smiled bitterly without a sound, then looked at Jiang Wang again.

Jiang Wang didn't say a word. He ignored both Zhongshan Weisun and Huang Sheli, and simply walked away into the air.

Huang Sheli raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. With a flick of his long robe, he flew back to the Kingdom of Jing.

Zhongshan Weishun, who is always obedient and polite, can be too willful when he acts recklessly. He's clearly using himself to make others uncomfortable. This isn't what a friend should do.

She personally killed Long Boji, which was a way to clear her name. She and Jiang Wang's friendship was something she cultivated repeatedly on her own initiative. It was obvious who had more weight and a brighter future: Zhongshan Weison or Jiang Wang – but as she admitted herself, she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.

After all, she had known him since childhood. She saw Zhongshan Weishun's excessive willfulness, but also, as Zhongshan Weishun wished, made things difficult for him.

Leaving at this moment is not an attitude of standing up for Zhong Shan Weisun, but it also tacitly allows Zhong Shan Weisun to use her name. She will not deliberately refute rumors like "Huang Sheli accompanied Zhong Shan Weisun to Nanyu to save Long Boji".

This is really a farce.

As a friend of Long Boji, Zhongshan Weisun was quite righteous. But as an acquaintance of Jiang Wang, he wasn't very considerate.

Jiang Wang idly tapped his long sword, pondering whether to go to Yu Yuan next.

The Taixu Jade pendant just happened to receive a letter at this time.

This is a letter from 'Ling Yue'.

Please note that the original text was empty, so the translation is also empty. Let me know if you have any other content you'd like translated!

There was only one sentence in the letter——

"Big brother, are you here to save Elder Long"

Dugu Unbeatable replied, "When did you receive the message"

Ling Yue quickly replied - "Just now, through secret channels sent to Chu State. And your news of entering the Southern Domain arrived almost simultaneously. So I came to ask you right away. This person is on the key list, if he is your friend, be sure to take care of him early."

>

Jiang Wang didn't turn back, but he could sense Zhongshan Weisun struggling to get up, while Huang Sheli had already left. He replied: "I don't know Long Boji well. I was lured here by Zhongshan Weisun. They are friends."

Ling Yue's reply came quickly, the words dripping with anger—"So it seems Zhongshan Wei Sun still has some face! I'll leave Long Boji a whole corpse for him to take back to Jing Guo and mourn."

After a while, in the illusory realm of Taixu, a message from Huangliang arrived — "Brother Jiang, come to Huangliang Stage for a meal, I've reserved a place for you!"

Jiang Wangxian replied to Huang Liang with a "good."

After some thought, Ling Yue wrote back: "You can just think of my trip to the South Region this time as visiting the old Duke. I have no ill will towards Long Boji, and Zhongshan Weisun is also a man of principle... Of course, they are not my friends, nor are they involved with me. Do as you see fit, do not be influenced by my presence, whether positive or negative."

In the void, paper cranes flit through illusions.

In fine attire, Zuo Guangsu declared boldly and confidently, “That scoundrel Zhongshan Weisun dares to deceive you! I shall make him understand what it means to be ruthless!”

But then he thought better of it and erased the line, rewriting: "Um-hum, understood."

>

To lie is to send a crane flying, hoping it will never return.

Qiu Shunhua sat opposite him, sharing a small table with him. Their calves were touching, and their little toes were pressed together. He smiled and said, "Why did you erase that sentence"

“Everyone says Big Brother Jiang is ruthless, but he’s actually a softie.” Left Guangshu said: “If I said that, he would definitely try to persuade me. He’s been thinking about Tu Zhen all day long, killing from the demon realm to Bianhuang, and he’s already tired enough. Why bother him with this”

Qiu Shunhua raised a jade-white finger and poked him playfully on the cheek, smiling: "You're so considerate!"

Zuo Guangshu also extended a finger, hooking it with hers. They walked like naive children, but then he turned serious: "The Evil Face Army has surrounded Mount Duofeng for days now. The surrounding forces around Nandou Hall have long since been cleared out, only the Nandou Secret Realm remains untouched. What does Duke An intend to do"

This time, Emperor Chu was furious and ordered the annihilation of Nandou Hall. The general in charge of this matter was none other than Duke An Guo, Wu Zhaochang. He returned from his investigation at Yuxian Forest with nothing to show for it, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. However, during the battle at Nandou Hall, he still maintained a considerable degree of patience.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Let's focus our attack on assisting them!" Qu Shunhua said. "Right now, we fight and wait, waiting for the friends of Nandou Hall hidden underwater to surface one by one. Duke Anguo has always been too lazy to catch small fish. Since he made a move, he's going to sweep everything up."

>

“Like someone like Zhongshan Weishun” Zuo Guangsu asked.

“That’s an unexpectedly stupid fool.” Qu Shunhua couldn't help but laugh: “Our Guangshen is really vengeful!”

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

"Besides those friends in Nandou Hall," Zu Guangshu asked, "are you still waiting for friends from the San Fen Xiang Qi Lou Waiting for Luo Sha Moon to be pure"

This time, Duke An was in command of the campaign to pacify Nandou Hall. The incident happened suddenly, and many talented young men from within the country rose to the occasion, all eager to make a name for themselves. Unfortunately, it didn't take much force to destroy Nandou Hall, and there were only so many positions available in the army. Wu Zhaochang wasn't one who would gladly see his family's children go simply to polish their image, so he only selected a few.

Qiu Shuncai was conscripted into the army and stood out on his own, while Zuo Guangshun didn't get assigned any military tasks. Therefore, for some specific details on the front lines, he still had to ask Qiu Shuncai.

Qiu Shunhua explained: "The hidden agents of the Three-Fragrance Tower who remained in the Southern Region have been mostly eliminated. However, several important figures of theirs are still hiding within the Nan Dou Secret Realm."

Zuo Guangshuo found it hard to understand: "Duke An is clearly laying a trap. Would the Moonlit Demon King risk his subordinates for just a few people"

"Luo Sha Ming Yue could certainly put aside her celestial incense and heart incense, but she always wanted the Peach Blossom Spring. Qu Shun Hua said: "What if he comes After all, Chang Sheng Jun is already a turtle in a jar, trying it won't hurt."

The Peach Blossom Spring is a celestial treasure cave of Luo Sha Mingyue, refined from the 35th sub-celestial realm, "White Horse Xuan Guang Heaven." It has always been located in Yingcheng.

It was precisely because the Sanfen Xiangqi Building placed all the Dongtian Treasures under the surveillance of the Chu State that the Chu Court felt particularly reassured.

When Sānfēnxiāngqìlóu (Three Scents Fragrance Building) decisively severed ties with Chǔ, many high-ranking officials in Chǔ were astonished - who could have imagined that Sānfēnxiāngqìlóu would be so resolute They had spent years establishing themselves in Chǔ, which was the very foundation of their power. Yet, they abandoned it all without hesitation, even relinquishing the cave heaven treasures meant to be passed down for generations!

Of course, the facts now prove that although all the assets of the Sanfenxiangli in Chu land were filled into the public treasury and contributed to the grand national coffers, the Rakshasa Moonlit Pure still desired this celestial treasure known as Taohuatan.

After several years of hiding, when the pursuit from the Chu state gradually eased, a long-dormant spy was activated. He colluded with the Nandou Palace and boldly took action, stealing Taohuatan from Yingcheng.

It's a pity they were destined not to leave, both their treasures and themselves, trapped within the Nandou Secret Realm.

Left Guangxu nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, duty calls, I can't be distracted for too long." Qu Shunhua put on his boots. "Stay home and wait for me. As for Brother Jiang, you take him to the Huangliang Stage and treat him well. As for teaching Zhongshan Wei Sun a lesson..."

She gave him a sultry smile. "Leave it to me, sister."

Gold and jade are bought to laugh with songs, a drunken moon's weight lightens the burdens of royalty.

Bai Ge Xiao's name, from this day forward, has come to be known.

On the clifftop, the morning sun bathes the scene. A sea of bamboo sways in the gentle light.

"The World's Leading Musician," "First Master of Painting and Calligraphy," "Dean of Qingya Academy"... Bai Gesiao, who boasts so many illustrious titles, is a woman who doesn't appear particularly remarkable at first glance.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It requires careful examination and contemplation to truly appreciate the meticulous brushwork.

Her beauty is not something common people can see.

The clouds and mist obscure the mountains.

She dressed as a man, wearing a crown and bun hairstyle, and donned a scholar's robe. She sat on a stone platform high on the cliff, with a small table in front of her. On the table was a teapot and two teacups.

The spout of the teapot was surrounded by a swirling haze of heat, like steam rising from boiling water.

A gentle breeze rustled the trees, and clouds drifted in the sky. The bamboo forest rippled with emerald waves, and a rainbow arched over the distant mountains.

>

Bai Ge smiled and picked up the teapot, slowly pouring two cups of tea.

The teacup is seven parts full.

When she put down the teapot, a handsome and elegant man, with an air of nobility, just happened to arrive at the peak and sat across from her at the small table.

Her white clothes fluttered like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

"You're here rather quickly, Ye Zhenren." Bai Ge smiled and gestured with his index finger behind him, gently pushing the teacup forward.

Ye Lingxiao picked up the teacup, first gently sniffing the aroma of the tea, then taking a small sip, before satisfiedly putting down the teacup and smiling: "To savor Qingya Longjian, one must act swiftly."

Bai Ge smiled and glanced at him: "You, Ye Lingxiao, have a wide network of contacts and connections throughout the business world. You lack tea to drink"

"This is tea brewed by the master of Qingya Mountain, and this is a type of tea leaf unique to this place!" Ye Lingxiao's tone was just the right amount of exaggeration: "Even if one has all the wealth in the world, without the fortune to drink this cup, what good is it"

Baigē laughed without answering, only saying: "Since you are a fortunate person, do you know how to cherish your fortune"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ye Lingxiao picked up his teacup again: "Such a good tea, I wouldn't waste even a drop."

The slender tea leaves swirl in the boiling water, like a dragon swimming, hence the name "Dragon's Tip". Drinking it prolongs life and nourishes the qi. Such tea leaves can be found nowhere else; here there are only two mother trees, planted by hand by Master Qingya himself.

Bai Ge smiled faintly, taking a sip and casually asking, "What do you think of the Nan Dou Hall incident"

Ye Lingxiao didn't answer but asked back, "Has anyone found you"

The master of Qingya Mountain smiled faintly. "Indeed!"

"What do you want to say" Ye Lingxiao asked.

Bai Ge laughed and said, "It's nothing more than phrases like 'all under heaven are one family,' 'prepare for a rainy day,' and 'a tooth lost hurts the whole mouth.'"

Ye Lingxiao nodded. "That makes a lot of sense."

Bai Ge laughed and added, “Very reasonable nonsense.”

That's not just talk, you know!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Who doesn't know the principle of "lips and teeth perish together"

The problem is that the Southern Polar Longevity Emperor had his title stripped by the King of Chu years ago for some fabricated reason, and he spent those years hiding in the celestial realm, yet he failed to learn from his mistakes. He now dares to collude with the Three Fragrance Building, steal the cave-heaven treasures from Yincheng, and was caught red-handed!

The Six Great Nations have stood for ages, they haven't been shy about smashing mountains and leveling ranges.

The master of Chu State is renowned, who can compare to you in wit and eloquence
