Yan Li believed that if he chose both of them, he would be drowned by the spittle of all the men present.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Once I enter the Prince's Mansion, I belong to the Commandery Princess whether I live or die. Unless the Commandery Princess doesn't want me, how can I make any other choice?"
This sonorous and forceful flattery immediately taught everyone a lesson.
Liang Junshan's eyes lit up. He had already regarded Yan Li as his idol.
The young girl giggled and said, "The Commandery Princess is still so likable." After saying that, her figure flashed and disappeared.
She always came and went without a trace like this, but this time, it seemed like she was running away in a hurry. In the eyes of everyone, she had lost a lot of face. Of course, the faster she ran away, the better.
Ji Lianmei was relieved. She looked at Yan Li more and more pleasing to the eye. She said softly, "Gu Guanlan, you can stay in Juying Lou today. You will be treated the same as them."
"Thank you, Commandery Princess." Yan Li suddenly sighed. He didn't expect that he would eventually become the advisor of this idiot woman.
"Okay." Ji Lianmei turned around gracefully and left leisurely.
Liu Sanbian and the others glanced at Yan Li and also left.
Very soon, only Yan Li and the guards were left in the field. They were all strangers, and all of them had a fawning look on their faces as they looked at their new comrade. No, he had been a comrade for less than half a day, and now he was already their master.
Liang Junshan ran over eagerly. "Grandpa Gu, you fought so well. This lowly one admires you greatly. Please accept a bow from this lowly one to express my respect."
After saying that, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed devoutly. When he raised his head, he saw a faint smile on Yan Li's face. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he said flatteringly, "You must be tired. How about letting me take you to the building to rest?"
Yan Li smiled slightly. "What's your name?"
Liang Junshan was overwhelmed by the favor and said, "This lowly one is Liang Junshan, you can just call me Xiao Liangzi."
"Take me back to that place first. I want to change clothes," Yan Li said.
"Alright!" Only then did Liang Junshan relax. As he led the way, he chuckled and said, "Grandpa Gu has really opened my eyes. What happened just now is enough for me to brag about for a year."
Yan Li said, "Don't flatter me so quickly. You can answer my question now, right?"
"What problem?" Liang Junshan was stunned. He immediately recalled and his face could not help but be filled with bitterness. "Grandpa Gu, you are making things difficult for me. How would a small fry like me know about the matters of the Heavenly Measures Pavilion …"
Yan Li said, "I won't make things difficult for you. Just tell me what you know." Right now, he was absorbing whatever he could get his hands on. If he did not gain a deeper understanding of this world, he would not be able to move an inch.
Liang Junshan thought about it and said, "The people of the Heavenly Measures Pavilion are very mysterious. There is almost nothing in the Jambu Realm that they do not know. This is because out of every 10 cultivators, one is working for the Heavenly Measures Pavilion. Among them, there are some especially terrifying experts. They often go to observe some people. "
"What people?" Yan Li asked.
Liang Junshan said, "Those on the rankings. Right now, the Heavenly Measures Pavilion has three rankings. One is the Heavenly Star Roll, which refers to cultivators who shine like stars. Those below 50 years old can be on the list. There are 50 names in total. These 50 people are the strongest geniuses of the Jambu Realm, the most dazzling group of people who stand at the peak of the mountain. The other is the Heaven's Chosen Roll, which includes those below 30 years old, and those below the Martial Dao Human Immortal Realm. There are also 50 names. The last is the Beauties Roll, on which the Region Lord is ranked 22nd."
At this point, he paused for a moment. "It is said that the purpose of the rankings is to encourage cultivators to improve. Every month, the rankings will be updated twice, once at the beginning of the month, and once at the middle of the month. It will be the middle of the month soon, and on that day, the Heavenly Measures Pavilion will punctually post the latest rankings outside the notice wall."
At this time, he reached the small courtyard. Everyone in the courtyard looked at Yan Li strangely, wondering why he had returned.
However, none of them knew Yan Li, so no one came up to speak. They were all busy with their own matters, practicing martial arts, or washing clothes.
"Wait for me here."
Yan Li pushed the door open and entered. Yanggang was tidying up the bed. Hearing the door open, he turned his head in surprise. "Today's shift ended so quickly?"
"No, I came back to change." Yan Li took off his guard uniform and changed into his casual clothes.
"Have you forgotten my warning?" Yanggang's expression changed slightly. "Wearing other clothes during work hours will be very tragic."
Yan Li thought about it, but he really did not know how to explain.
At this time, Liang Junshan walked in and said with an unfriendly expression, "Newcomer, be polite. Master Gu is now the Princess's newly recruited advisor."
"What?" Yanggang suddenly stood up, his mouth open so wide that a duck's egg could be stuffed in.
"That's it." Yan Li spread his hands. "So I have to leave."
Yanggang stared at Yan Li's back in a daze. He still did not dare to believe that this was real.
"Continue," Yan Li said.
Liang Junshan thought about it and said, "The people who work for the Heavenly Measures Pavilion are called 'spies'. The spies will not participate in any conflict and are absolutely neutral. But at the same time, if someone hurts a spy, they will suffer the full retaliation of the Heavenly Measures Pavilion. There is also a type called 'Walker'. Each of them is an extremely powerful cultivator, and they will decide whether or not to interfere based on the situation. All the Tower Lords of the Heavenly Measures Pavilion are 'Walkers', but 'Walkers' are not necessarily Tower Lords. "
"All Tower Lords?" Yan Li said, "There is more than one Tower Lord?"
Liang Junshan said, "Yes. The structure of the Heavenly Measures Pavilion is very simple and relaxed. It does not restrict personal freedom."
Yan Li said, "Do you know who those Tower Lords are?"
Liang Junshan shook his head and said, "I do not know. But there are rumors in the martial world that one of the Tower Lords is called Yu Liubing, and the method he uses is suspected to be of Kunlun's direct lineage. But the Kunlun direct lineage is not called Yu Liubing, but Liumu Bingjian. "
"Yu Liubing? Liumu Bingjian? "Yan Li's heart moved." How can you be so sure that Yu Liubing is not? "
Liang Junshan smiled and said, "Master Gu, you must be joking with me. The world knows that Kunlun only has one teacher and one disciple, and only one lineage. There has never been an exception."
Yan Li was startled. Only one lineage, and it could be ranked among the nine great Confucian orthodoxy in the immortal world. What kind of sect was that?
He asked again, "What else?"
Liang Junshan thought hard for a long time, and finally said helplessly, "Master Gu, I really can't think of anything else."
"Bring me to my new residence."
…
Night fell.
Zhuge Xiaoshan brought Yan Chaoyang to the streets to buy some gifts and put them in a gift box. Then, they set off for the Jian residence.
"Senior, I'm really sorry. I originally chose Flame City as my first stop because I wanted to see the fireworks here. I didn't expect Fourth Uncle to be working here …" Zhuge Xiaoshan lowered his head and said sadly.
"It's okay." Yan Chaoyang took the gift box.
Zhuge Xiaoshan pursed his lips and tilted his head to look at him. "Senior, do you like fireworks?"
"I do." Yan Chaoyang smiled at him, then looked up at the sky. "That's hope."
"Hope?" Zhuge Xiaoshan said.
Yan Chaoyang nodded. Then, he lowered his head and looked at him seriously. "It's beautiful. It's perfect."
Zhuge Xiaoshan laughed and said, "Senior, you're completely different from Yan Li. I really don't know why he brought you to be a bandit. You're not suitable at all."
Yan Chaoyang laughed as well. "For the sake of survival. He likes bandits. Freedom is his dream. "
Zhuge Xiao Shan said thoughtfully: "A person with a dream, no matter how bad he is, he cannot be that bad."
At this time, they arrived at a large residence near Liuguan Street. The guards were lined up like door gods at the entrance. Each of them carried a sword and had a cold expression on their faces.
Zhuge Xiaoshan walked up the stairs and cupped his fists. "I'm Zhuge Xiaoshan. I'm here to attend a banquet."
The guards didn't move at all. They were like statues.
Zhuge Xiaoshan frowned and repeated, "I'm Zhuge Xiaoshan. I'm here to attend a banquet with your honorable master."
The guards didn't move at all. They were like statues.
Zhuge Xiaoshan raised his head and looked at the golden plaque. There's no doubt about it. It's the plaque that's unique to the Jian Clan. It's extremely vulgar.
At this time, a car drove in from the intersection. The driver saw Zhuge Xiaoshan from afar and shouted, "Young Master Zhuge, what are you doing here? I didn't even see you when I went to pick you up. Now, you're here by yourself. "
Zhuge Xiaoshan was stunned. Then, he remembered that Jian Mingtu said he would send someone to pick him up. He immediately apologized in embarrassment, "I'm sorry. I forgot."
The driver drove the car to the entrance. He seemed to be a butler. He had an arrogant look on his face. He signaled a guard to drive the car away. Then, he glanced at Zhuge Xiaoshan and Yan Chaoyang.
"I'm the butler of the mansion. My name is Wang Yang. How long has Young Master Zhuge been here?"
"Oh, it's Butler Wang. Brother and I have just arrived as well." Zhuge Xiaoshan said politely.
Wang Yang said calmly, "Our guards only recognize our master. Without my guidance, even if you stand here until dawn, they won't open the door."
Zhuge Xiaoshan also said calmly, "Loyal to your duty. That's good."
"Come in with me. Master is waiting." Wang Yang's attitude didn't seem like that of a guest. Zhuge Xiaoshan and Yan Chaoyang came to the banquet as if they were here to ask for Jian Mingtu's help.
Zhuge Xiaoshan glanced at Yan Chaoyang. Seeing that there was no change in his expression, he felt relieved. However, he didn't notice that Yan Chaoyang's empty hand was already clenched tightly.
The Jian Mansion wasn't small. After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a magnificent hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a table, but it was empty.
"Wait here. I'll call Master."
Wang Yang did not wait for their reply and walked into the inner hall.
Zhuge Xiaoshan looked at Yan Chaoyang apologetically. "Brother, let's have a drink and then leave."
Yan Chaoyang shook his head. "It's fine."
Not long after, Jian Mingtu walked out of the inner hall and said calmly, "Since you're here, take a seat. You don't have to be so polite in my house."
Zhuge Xiaoshan took the gift box from Yan Chaoyang's hand and handed it to Jian Mingtu. "Uncle, this is a small token of my appreciation."
"Mm."
Jian Mingtu took it and threw it to Wang Yang. "Have a seat. Wang Yang, get someone to serve the dishes."
Wang Yang placed the gift box on top of the vase and shouted towards the inner hall. "Serve the dishes!"
Zhuge Xiaoshan saw this and gritted his teeth. "Uncle, Brother and I have already eaten. We're just here to pay our respects to you. We'll be leaving now."
"Don't rush. What's the rush? Sit." Jian Mingtu sat at the head of the table.
Zhuge Xiaoshan glanced at Yan Chaoyang. The latter nodded slightly. He had no choice but to sit down.
At this moment, two servants walked out one after another. Both of them had their heads lowered and were holding an exquisite dish. They placed it in front of Zhuge Xiaoshan and Yan Chaoyang respectively.
