The civil and military officials in the imperial court were dumbfounded.
Didn't they say that the two of them were already at the end of their lifespans? One was suffering for his life, and the other was already unconscious. How could they both appear here? Moreover, they were in high spirits. This was definitely not the final radiance of the setting sun. Even the so-called final radiance of the setting sun wouldn't have this kind of energy, Qi, and spirit, alright?!
The mysteriousness of the incident had taken everyone by surprise, exclaiming that a miracle had happened.
As the crowd exclaimed in awe, they wanted to ask about the reason. This was a living dead person; the effect of reviving the dead was astounding. It was not a coincidence that two people had been saved in one go; it must have been the help of an expert. How could they be satisfied if they did not ask about it?
Qiu Jianhan felt that he could not answer and was about to come up with some excuse to cover it up, but Old Grand Commandant Fang spoke first.
Old Grand Commandant Fang continued.
"This old official is surprised as well."
Old Grand Commandant Fang looked perplexed. "Recently, my spirit has been deteriorating. My days and nights are drowsy, like I'm waking up from a dream. I feel that I don't have much time left. Last night was the same as usual, but somehow, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was surprised to find that my body was as light as a youth. I felt uncomfortable all over. Your Majesty, the officials, and brother Nian are surprised by my condition, but this old man doesn't understand what has happened either. I didn't want to attend the imperial court today, but I'm filled with doubts about my condition. I wanted to ask if anyone knows what's going on … "
Qiu Jianhan continued smoothly, "This old official's condition is similar, but I'm even more perplexed than Old Man Fang. Old Man Fang is at most drowsy throughout the day and night, but this old man has been living dead all this time. Old Man Fang doesn't know the reason, of course, I'm even more perplexed. All in all, it's strange."
It's fine if you want to ask this old man, but you have to ask Old Grand Commandant Fang first. What does this old man know as a living dead? Go ask the living!
A certain old gangster had even scratched his head in bewilderment, looking perplexed. His acting skills and phrasing were superb. He was indeed the leader of Yutang's three rogues!
His Majesty could see that Old Grand Commandant Fang really did not understand. However, when he saw Qiu Jianhan scratching his head innocently, His Majesty felt his heart sink.
The joy he felt when he saw that the old man had woken up safely almost vanished into thin air and turned into a heart attack!
His only thought was to kick this old hooligan, who was too good at acting, who was sighing and scratching his head with his fingers, out of the main hall. He had a blank expression on his face, but in reality, he knew better than anyone else!
Since you don't know, can you not speak in such an arrogant tone?!
Pooh!
You don't know either!
I'll be a fool to believe you!
When the morning assembly ended, His Majesty the emperor kept Qiu Jianhan to interrogate him.
Qiu Jianhan was still bewildered. "I really don't know, Your Majesty. You should ask Old Grand Commandant Fang about this!"
"This old official is still very muddle-headed until now …"
"I probably had a dream when I was sleepy … I dreamed of that and that and that and that … Your Majesty, take a guess. Those old things are living a good life now … Damn, they can live so well even as ghosts. I'm so envious. Tsk, tsk, tsk …"
"Did someone save me? Did someone really save me? F * ck, I was actually saved? Then who is my savior? Since Your Majesty has said so, you must know. You must tell me. The grace of saving my life should be repaid with gushes of spring. I must repay the favor … "
Facing such an old hooligan, His Majesty got nothing after questioning him for an hour. Instead, he listened to the old hooligan's story of him wandering the underworld for half a day. In the end, the person asking the questions gradually became the one being interrogated!
In the end, His Majesty could not take it anymore. He pointed a finger at the door and said, "Scram!"
"This official shall take his leave!"
The old hooligan was gone in a flash.
He had run away at top speed!
"Could it be that a person who has died once would be twice as thick-skinned?" His Majesty was unsure of the question.
He fumed for a long time with a dark expression before he finally scolded, "Old man! Do you really think I can't guess who it is if you don't tell me? "
…
The entire Shangguan Clan was also very happy. When the Great Ancestor woke up in the morning, he suddenly felt a lot more energetic. After trying it out a few times, he could actually walk as if he was flying … ….
Surprise!
He then realized that many of the discomfort and old ailments in his body seemed to be gone …
Surprise!
He then realized that even the cultivation base that he could not use seemed to have recovered?
Even more surprise!
His back was straightened, his ears were no longer deaf, his vision was not blurry, his legs were healed … Finally, he tried leaping several feet!
Seeing that Old Mistress had recovered so much, the entire Shangguan Family of Generals cheered thunderously, elated and delighted!
"God bless the family of generals!"
Old Mistress took one last look before asking, "Where's Lingxiu?"
"She's gone to the Residence of Yun. Should we call her back?"
Old Mistress pondered for a moment before saying, "There's no need. This girl … she's been through a lot all these years. "
She walked slowly to the door of the ancestral hall and looked at the memorial tablets inside, murmuring, "After a few more days, if this old one's body is still as good as it is today … then this old one will still be the one to support the Family of Generals!"
"When the time comes, this old one will invite Yun Xiaoyao over and settle the marriage between Lingxiu and Yun Yang!"
All the women of the Shangguan Family were overjoyed.
Everyone had witnessed Shangguan Lingxiu's efforts all these years. Who would not be heartbroken? A beauty in her prime could only stay at home all her life because of the burden of her family.
Now, she could see hope. The bitterness was over and the sweetness was beginning!
"God bless us!"
Shangguan Lingxiu's mother knelt before the ancestral tablet and kowtowed respectfully. "Ancestors bless us! Bless my Xiu 'er … to be happy and to find someone to rely on. "
…
It was night time.
Yun Yang's miserable days had finally come to an end.
It was not that Ji Lingxi could not move him or that she was being kind; it was because something that Yun Yang had planned for a long time had finally happened!
…
In a restaurant that was neither high nor low class.
The four noble young masters of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were drinking with their guards, in high spirits.
There were a few tables nearby that were filled with people of the martial world. Seeing these fellows talking so arrogantly, they curled their lips discreetly, but no one was there to dampen their spirits.
First, the four popinjays were not ordinary young masters of noble families from their attire alone. Furthermore, they had many guards by their side; they did not look like they were to be trifled with.
Hmm, this was only secondary. The most important thing was that although the Four Great Debauchees still had the title of debauchee, their strength was no longer ordinary. Any one of them had the extraordinary strength of a Jianghu expert. How could ordinary Jianghu people dare to provoke them?
Just as the few of them were in high spirits, someone suddenly fell into the restaurant.
He landed in front of Dong Tianleng.
