Chapter 801 - Cang Sea
Chapter 801 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts with: Resources in full measure, respect in abundance, those are certainly things that a ruler should... Continue exploring!
Resources in full measure, respect in abundance, those are certainly things that a ruler should provide.But to gain more support, whatâs more important is to make people believe that with you, the future is boundless.
You have to become a better choice to be the one chosen by more people.
This is the reason why Zhongxuan Sheng exhibited the Law of Heaven and Earth.
In business, he had already surpassed many, certainly not inferior to Zhongxuan Zun.
Now, what he had proved was that he also possessed enough talent to become a powerful Transcendent Cultivator.
Only then could he vie for more resources from the Zhong Xuan Family to help Jiang Wang influence the sacrificial sea results at the Diao Hai Building.
He had already tried to dissuade him.
He had also attempted to conceal it.
But Jiang Wang had made up his mind, and in such a short time had hurried back to Linyi, so he had no other choice but to support him unreservedly.
Following behind Zhongxuan Sheng, the bustling crowd brought back his memories of this magnificent city.
In the streets of Zi City, there were essentially no young masters who bullied men and oppressed women.
Because in the heart of the Great Qi Empire, too many Jiao Dragons lurked beneath the surface.
A stone thrown down could hit seven or eight high officials and three or four nobles.
No young master could claim to act unrestrainedly in Zi City.
So Zhongxuan Shengâs current swagger was particularly conspicuous.
But precisely, he was one of the few aristocratic sons who could swagger through Zi City with pomp and pride.
Compared to his initial cautiousness when he first arrived in Zi City from the lands of the Zhongxuan Clan, it was like he was a completely different person.
But this was what Zhongxuan Sheng wanted people to see and know.
He was affirming his advantage, to make people reach the consensus in their hearts that he was the future Family Head of the Zhong Xuan Family.
Following this braggart through the streets, Jiang Wang felt a bit awkward, but he could still tolerate it.
After all, he had gotten somewhat used to it.
It was just that the occasional glances from Shisi surprised him.
Shisi never spoke; at first, Jiang Wang even thought the black-armored samurai was mute.
When they became more familiar, a nod was considered a greeting, and he seldom opened his mouth.
âWhat is it, is there something wrong with me?â Jiang Wang asked proactively.
Shisi kept moving, the armor leaves resounding with each step.
After a long silence, he finally murmured, âHis hair is not disheveled.â
Jiang Wang glanced at Zhongxuan Shengâs hair bun and realized what he meant.
He quickly made amends, âIndeed itâs not disheveled.
I spoke thoughtlessly during our sparring.
This hair bun is arranged precisely, each strand in order, truly top-notch!â
Clearly not as thick-skinned as Zhongxuan Sheng, Shisi immediately turned his head away in embarrassment at the compliment.
âHey, Wang,â Zhongxuan Sheng, who was strutting with ostentation, suddenly turned his head around, âHow come youâve become so slick with words after a trip away?
Does the work of a Qing brand catcher really train people that much?â
Reminded by Zhongxuan Sheng, Jiang Wang then remembered that when he left Qi Country, he was on a mission as a Qing brand catcherâto pursue the assassins of Hell Has No Door.
He still had to report back to Beiyaduwei later.
However, in comparison, it was Zhongxuan Pangâs sudden âcritiqueâ that surprised him more.
He thought for a moment, looked at Zhongxuan Pang, then at Shisi, and again at Shisi, then back at Zhongxuan PangâŚ
It seemed he suddenly understood why the place for welcoming and cleansing was chosen to be the Clear Heart Small Lodge.
Maybe it was not just for this time, but there might never be a chance for Zhongxuan Sheng to treat them to places like Red Sleeve Attraction againâŚ
âWhat are you peeping at with those thieving eyes behind there!â
Zhongxuan Sheng grabbed him, âCome up and walk alongside me!â
Clad in armor, Shisi walked silently on his right side, while he yanked Jiang Wang to his left, using his massive body to separate them.
Jiang Wang let himself be pulled without resistance, just laughing heartily but saying nothing.
Zhongxuan Shengming, clearly aggravated and shamed into anger, said viciously, âTell me, during this return trip to Linyi, did Qiao Yanjun not prepare anything for you?â
Qiao Yanjun was a famous woman in the history of Qi Country, renowned for her luxurious and extravagant lifestyle.
It is said that when she married, she took an entire street from Linyi City as her dowry to a man who, in many peopleâs eyes, was quite ordinary.
That was a street of Linyi City!
People in Qi Country often used Qiao Yanjunâs marriage to describe a situation where the woman is wealthy, and the man is poor.
Having spent so much time in Qi Country, Jiang Wang naturally understood what Zhongxuan Sheng was insinuating.
It was nothing more than an old tune, bringing up his relationship with Ye Qingyu.
Yet, he laughed even more jubilantly, âHow come I detect a hint of guilt in your question, as if you are the thief?â
Jiang Wang felt a rare upper hand in the verbal exchange, his spirits buoyed, ready to press his advantage.
Then, abruptly, Shisi said, âWeâre almost there!â
Her voice was actually quite soft, but it fell like a heavy sword cleaving a mountain, resolute and powerful.
Jiang Wang closed his mouth sheepishly.
Although there was still some distance to go, clearly not having arrived, to have forced someone as reticent as Shisi to speak up meant further provocation might lead to a beatingâŚ
right?
Clear Heart Small Lodge.
Shisi, as usual, stood in the corner of the room, leaning on her sword.
If one did not know her or had never heard her speak, it would be easy to mistake her for a statue.
The black armor she wore seemed even heavier, although it was also of exceptional quality.
But it obviously couldnât compare to the miraculous âMountain-Bearingâ armor, not even when it was damaged and repaired.
In contrast, her heavy sword shimmered with a concealed brilliance, seeming rather extraordinary.
A single inquiry revealed it was forged by the highly-priced weapon smiths of the Lian Family.
Given Lian Queâs connections, the sword couldnât be far off in quality.
Of course, it couldnât match the caliber of âLonging,â since such famous weapons were rare and not easily found.
Jiang Wang sat opposite Zhongxuan Sheng.
Upon reaching this place, their banter ceased, and they began discussing serious matters.
In the Taixu Illusion Realm, an unspoken agreement had already formed between them.
Jiang Wang had started traveling immediately, while Zhongxuan Sheng had without doubt begun gathering comprehensive intelligence.
Due to their limited prior engagements, they knew too little about the Near Sea Archipelago.
âIâve heard someone say, âWithout entering the Outer Building, thereâs no going out to sea.â Do you know what it means?â Jiang Wang asked first.
âIt seems youâve also collected a fair amount of information, quite keen on that person surnamed Zhu,â Zhongxuan Sheng glanced at him, offering neither mockery nor questions on his source of information.
Presumably considering he had gotten the intel from either the Lian Family or a Qing brand catcher, he said earnestly, âThis has something to do with the sea sacrifice I was about to discuss with you.â
âI only learned about some information myself after taking over a portion of the family powers.
The saying you mentioned has a history of many years and is still applicable today.
This âgoing out to seaâ doesnât mean leaving the coast of the Great Qi.
It refers to beyond the Near Sea ArchipelagoâŚ
the vast Cang Sea!â
âCang Sea?â Jiang Wang mused, âWhatâs there in the Cang Sea?
The Cang Sea Aquatic Tribe?â
The largest and sole known sea region of the current world is located to the east of Qi Country, known as the Cang Sea.
The âCangâ denotes a granary of water.
It naturally produces food and nourishes countless lives, epitomizing greatness.
âNo,â Zhongxuan Sheng shook his head, âItâs the Sea Clan.
The Water Race and the Sea Clan are entirely different.
The Water Race is our friend, the Sea ClanâŚ
is our enemy!â
