Chapter 87 I Have a Friend and Setting Off Again
Sheng Wansong noticed that Shangguan Hong always seemed preoccupied these days.
He chose a night when they were alone together and said to Shangguan Hong, "Ask me any questions you have."
"I can tell you've been holding back a lot of things these past few days."
Shangguan Hong was reading a sword manual when she heard this and put the book down.
Having received permission, she immediately asked the question that was on her mind, "My first question is, Young Master Sheng, are you indeed that Young Master Lin?"
Sheng Wansong wasn't surprised; Shangguan Hong had been looking at him with a probing gaze these past few days. "The reason?"
"Same age, exceptional skills."
"Most importantly, when you first met Master Mingyuan, you asked him about his Taoist name."
"Master Mingyuan is virtually unknown; unless one has a strong impression of the name 'Mingyuan,' an ordinary person wouldn't react that way."
I see, it was because my behavior was too obvious back then.
It was just a small detail, but I never expected Shangguan Hong to remember it to this day.
"Most importantly, you also possess dragon energy."
"According to Master Mingyuan, no more than five people outside the royal family can possess dragon energy in any given era."
"I don't believe in such a coincidence."
Although Katsu Mansong does things as he pleases and doesn't deliberately hide anything, it's truly remarkable that he noticed such a detail and remembered it to this day.
"Coincidences are common in the world, especially since I and that Young Master Lin appeared at the same time."
Shangguan Hong shook her head and looked at the starry sky. The stars had returned to their places, but what had happened would not disappear from her memory. "If you can do such things, what is a clone?"
Sheng Wansong narrowed his eyes and stared at Shangguan Hong.
"I hate kids with keen intuition."
Shangguan Hong remained relaxed, showing no fear whatsoever. "So you're going to kill me to silence me?"
She believed she knew Sheng Wansong very well and knew he wasn't a ruthless killer who killed indiscriminately; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked that question.
As she expected, Sheng Wansong smiled and shook his head.
"You've misunderstood. He's my friend, which is why I'm somewhat concerned about the Daoist Master Mingyuan who shares the same name."
"I see. Young Master Sheng must have a remarkable friend."
Shangguan Hong was a smart woman; she understood the situation without saying a word and didn't continue the topic.
"My second question is, when are we going to the Aoki pleasure boat?"
Actually, there was such an agreement.
The scenery in the harem greatly disappointed Katsu Mansatsu, but the rumors about the Aoki Pleasure Boat were quite clear: the Aoki Pleasure Boat was full of exceptionally beautiful women who were both talented and beautiful.
He immediately made the decision, "We'll go tomorrow."
Shangguan Hong felt embarrassed. She seemed to have completely forgotten about it before, but now she was suddenly in such a hurry again.
"Young Master Sheng is truly a free-spirited person."
Sheng Wansong wholeheartedly agreed, "I think so too."
"I am not a pure martial artist who pursues the pinnacle of martial arts or seeks a future. For me, martial arts is a tool to achieve my own goals."
"The purpose of learning martial arts is to allow me to do whatever I want."
"No one can stop or hinder it, that's all."
Shangguan Hong felt that the man in front of her was dangerous; his behavior indeed suggested he was a capricious person.
The clown's clever idea might only elicit a smile from the emperor.
But his sudden inspiration could have a profound impact on the world. Although he seems to be a person with principles at present, if he were to have any malicious thoughts one day, it could bring catastrophe to the entire world.
As a chivalrous woman with a strong sense of justice, Shangguan Hong felt a sense of responsibility. She should do her best to guide the other party in a positive direction, rather than let some malicious thoughts bring disaster to the world.
"I'm just reminding you not to forget, young hero; I'm not urging you."
"As the one making the request, it is I who should adapt to your schedule, Young Master Sheng."
As Shangguan Hong turned to leave, Sheng Wansong also asked a question: "I have a question too. What do you think of Daoist Mingyuan?"
Shangguan Hong stopped in her tracks. "It's very strange. Compared to the skills he's displayed, his knowledge is astonishing."
"This time he also successfully predicted the location of the ceremony that the Grand Preceptor had secretly prepared, perhaps he already knew everything."
"
Her thoughts coincided with those of Sheng Wansong.
"There is only one person in the world with this ability."
Sheng Wansong continued, "I hope you can help me find out the old Taoist's location and information."
"In return, I will teach you martial arts that far surpass the White Emperor Sword."
Shangguan Hong lowered her foot again.
"The White Emperor Sword is the dream of the Azure Wave Sect. It is not just about power, but also about hope and inheritance. I must find it for my master."
Shangguan Hong rejected Sheng Wansong's suggestion and continued walking out of the room.
But before leaving, he added, "I will ask my master about Master Mingyuan's matter. He and Master Mingyuan have been friends for many years, so he might know something."
The next day, Sheng Wansong received two letters.
A letter from Yuwen Lie recounted their encounter with Liang Chen and Liang Chen's intention to come looking for him.
"Death Sorrow Blade Technique, although Liang Chen says he is not a genius, isn't he a complete genius?"
""
Sheng Wansong put down the letter in his hand.
During the sword-tasting competition, Liang Chen said that he was a mediocre talent who could only catch up with Mo Xuan by putting in ten times the effort.
But putting everything else aside, to create a completely different skill from Blood Blade so quickly, isn't that the mark of a genius?
His talent lies in the realm of artistic conception, a talent that is difficult to quickly translate into strength in the early stages, so it cannot be displayed.
Sheng Wansong picked up the second letter, which was from Liang Chen himself.
After reading it, Sheng Wansong asked the crowd, "Liang Chen has issued a challenge, inviting me to a duel at the Tiandao Sect ruins atop Tianmen Mountain. How should I respond?"
Ignore him.
This is An Lan's answer.
Shangguan Hong believes that "since one is a martial artist, one should not refuse a direct challenge."
"That's true," Ouyang Xue agreed at first, then changed the subject, "Tianmen Mountain is too far away. There's no reason to make someone travel that far to accept an invitation to duel."
"Xiaoxue is right."
Sheng Wansong thought Xiaoxue's words made sense. "Heroine Shangguan, how far is the Green Wood Painting Boat from Tianmen Mountain?"
"The Qingmu Painting Boat is located on the shore of Baidi Lake, in the northwest corner of Yangzhou."
"Tianmen Mountain is located in the south of Yuzhou."
After a moment of contemplation, Shangguan Hong gave his answer: "The distance between the two is about three hundred li."
"It's not very far."
Sheng Wansong had an idea. "Then let's go to the Green Wood Painting Boat first to fulfill our promise to Lady Shangguan. If we have enough time, we can go to Tianmen Mountain."
"If there's not enough time, then forget it."
Without further ado, Sheng Wansong immediately had the group pack their luggage and prepare to set off again.
Before leaving, Sheng Wansong said this to Ning'er, who was looking on with anticipation.
"Ning'er, you stay here and watch the house."
Ning'er's expectation vanished instantly, and her mood clearly dropped.
"You still need to report to the Queen every month, right?"
"We'll bring you a gift."
The group embarked on their journey once again.
