After watching the Little Colored Spiders' hunting and killing practice, Yue Qianchou motioned for Zhang Peng to dismiss everyone. Then, Zhang Peng led Yue Qianchou on a tour of the newly built underground fortifications. The entire underground fortifications extended in all directions like a majestic underground maze. It was impossible for it to not be big enough to accommodate nearly ten thousand people. If not for Zhang Peng's guidance, Yue Qianchou suspected that he would have gotten lost.
Zhang Peng explained the reason why the underground fortifications were built this way along the way, incorporating many concepts of war. First, it was for both offense and defense. It could attack at any time and defend effectively. The second consideration was the comfort of the living quarters.
It was not something that could be done in a short amount of time to finish looking at the entire underground fortifications. After glancing at half of it, Yue Qianchou stopped and smiled. "Forget it! Let's just look at this! You must have put a lot of thought into this. "
"With the Earth Spell that Master taught me, building this underground fortifications is not a difficult task." Zhang Peng said respectfully. "Master, are you not going to give any suggestions? Disciple's vision is limited and I'm afraid that there might be some slip-ups. "
"I'm at ease with you handling this. I'll leave this place to you." Yue Qianchou waved his hand casually and then frowned. "You have to keep in touch with Elder Nan Ming of Flaming Mountain. Look for me if there's any trouble."
"Disciple understands." Zhang Peng cupped his fists. Yue Qianchou nodded and disappeared before his eyes …
After returning to the World Chamber of Commerce, he walked out of one of the rooms on the twenty-second floor and saw Wei Chunqiu, Yun Peng and Da Ming Lun standing at the foot of the stairs talking. Yue Qianchou was slightly startled. Da Ming Lun was someone who would not visit for no reason. She must have come for something. He immediately walked and cupped his fists. "What a rare guest. Greetings, Master Da Ming Lun."
Da Ming Lun had just nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a "pa" sound from the other end of the corridor. It sounded like something hard had been slammed on the table. Then, a delicate shout was heard. "Bang!"
Damn it! Who was the one with such a bad hand? Was there a need to shout so loudly when they just touched the tiles? Yue Qianchou's expression stiffened. Only then did he remember that there were still people around him. He glanced at the three of them and found that they seemed to be used to it. They did not find it strange at all. Clearly, they had been standing there for a while, and this was not the first time they had heard the commotion.
"Hehe! A few ignorant women, please excuse us, excuse us … "Before Yue Qianchou could finish his sentence, Zi Yi screamed excitedly," It's burning! It's burning! Little sister Xue 'er, you've lit the cannon! Haha! You don't have any more chips left. It's time for Sister Yan Yu to take over. "Yue Qianchou was stunned. Zi Yi was going to take over as well?
"Little Sister Phoenix, it's all your fault. If you didn't tell me to touch it, I wouldn't have been able to light Purple Clothed's cannon." It was Wu Lixue's voice.
"Sister Xue 'er, I didn't do it on purpose." It was Pheasant's aggrieved voice.
"Quickly give way, quickly give way. It's Sister Yan Yu's turn." It was Zi Yi's cheerful voice again, followed by the messy sound of mahjong being played. Then, there was the "pa pa da da" sound of the tiles being put together.
The four men listened attentively for a while and looked at each other. Da Ming Lun frowned and said, "It's burning? What's burning? "
Wei Chunqiu shook her head and said, "I don't think it's burning anything. I heard that they've been burning for a day or two. How could there be so many things for them to burn? Wouldn't they have burned the entire World Commerce Association … Yue Qianchou, what are they doing?"
Burned the entire World Commerce Association? Yue Qianchou's expression twitched and he said awkwardly, "They're playing mahjong. Uh … it's a game for fun."
With that, the three of them understood. Wei Chunqiu's eyes lit up and said, "What kind of game is it that they can play for a day or two without stopping? Let's go and take a look. " Da Ming Lun and Yun Peng glanced at each other. The two of them were also curious. With the mentality of gaining knowledge, they followed. Yue Qianchou stood dumbstruck on the spot for a while before following behind the three of them.
When they pushed open the door and entered, they saw four women surrounding a table. In front of each of them was a long strip made up of small purple cubes. They took turns grabbing small cubes from the long strip on the table to replenish themselves. Then, they took out a small piece and threw it into the pile of small cubes in the middle of the table. There was also a woman with a pheasant on her shoulder. She was watching intently with her hands behind her back. When the few of them entered, these women actually didn't even bother to raise their heads to see who had entered.
This made Wei Chunqiu and the other two even more curious. They all strolled over to watch. Yue Qianchou was speechless. He thought to himself, could it be that these women have never played games before? Was there a need to be so focused on playing mahjong? He immediately coughed and said, "Let's stop for a moment. Let's first greet the seniors."
When the women looked up, they immediately stood up and bowed. However, they didn't forget to buckle their mahjong tiles in front of them. This action made Yue Qianchou's eyelids twitch. He coughed again and introduced them to Da Ming Lun and Yun Peng. As for Wei Chunqiu, they already knew him.
"You don't have to be so polite. You guys continue playing. I'll just watch from the side …" Wei Chunqiu made the decision and gestured for them to stop. Then, she walked to the table and picked up a purple cube to see what it was. Unexpectedly, the pheasant on Wu Lixue's shoulder suddenly shouted, "Green bat, put it down. Don't peek at the tiles."
"Uh …" Wei Chunqiu was startled. The pheasant's words seemed to have some effect on him. He immediately buckled the tile back.
The Da Ming Lun looked at the pheasant curiously. He noticed that it wasn't even at the Immortal Realm, but it could speak the human language. He immediately classified it as a normal beast cultivator because he had never seen a phoenix before.
Seeing the women's uneasiness, the Da Ming Lun lost interest in watching anymore. He immediately said to Yue Qianchou, "Come out for a moment. I have something to talk to you about." Then, the four men walked out. Yue Qianchou asked while walking, "What business does the Da Ming Lun's wielder have with this junior?"
The Da Ming Lun suddenly stopped and stared at Yue Qianchou for a moment. Then, he said in a deep voice, "I have the Immortal Emperor's decree to find you."
"Ah …" Yue Qianchou cried out in surprise. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. After looking at Yun Peng and Wei Chunqiu, he saw that their expressions were a bit strange. It was clear that they already knew why the Immortal Emperor was looking for him. He immediately became suspicious and said, "The Immortal Emperor is looking for me? That's impossible! The wielder isn't joking, right? "
"It's not a joke." The Da Ming Lun frowned and said, "I won't say any conventional words. Let's be frank! The Immortal Emperor has decreed that you must compose a song and present it to the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress Ji Wu at the wedding ceremony. That's it! "
Yue Qianchou's mouth was wide open. After a while, he slowly said, "Why?"
"Let me tell you this!" The Da Ming Lun paused and explained, "After the World Commerce Association's Miss Lu was taken away by Immortal Empress Ji Wu, Immortal Empress Ji Wu really liked the song she played. Later, she found out from her that the songs she played were all composed by you. So, she asked the Immortal Emperor to let you compose a song that will be passed down for generations to add color to the wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony is not a child's play. It concerns the Immortal Emperor's face. For this reason, the Immortal Emperor personally listened to the Miss Lu play a few songs. He was very satisfied and praised it as the sound of nature. He also praised Immortal Empress Ji Wu for her good taste. After the Immortal Emperor confirmed from the Miss Lu that the songs were all composed by you, he immediately summoned me … That's what happened. "
"Tsk tsk!" Wei Chunqiu exclaimed and said with a teasing tone, "Yue Qianchou, I've known you for so long. How come I didn't know you could play such a literary thing? You really can't judge a book by its cover! A guy who uses profanity every time he opens his mouth can actually play the zither and compose songs. He can even get the praise of the Immortal World's Supreme. Are you going to show us what you've got? "Yun Peng nodded slightly with a surprised look in his eyes.
Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes and ignored him on the spot. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yanqing, you're doing stupid things to harm me again!" In fact, he really wronged Lu Yanqing this time. In fact, the real culprit was Immortal Crocodile. Ji Wu found out about it from Immortal Crocodile and then faked it from Lu Yanqing.
"Yue Qianchou, it doesn't matter if you're willing or not. Since the Immortal Emperor has spoken, no one in the Immortal World will dare to disobey his will. You have to do it even if you don't want to. Otherwise … Think about the consequences yourself." Da Ming Lun snorted coldly. "If you do it well, the benefits you will get will be unattainable by others."
"Who doesn't want benefits!" Yue Qianchou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "But I don't have the fortune to enjoy it! You want me to make a song that will go down in history? That's a joke! Where did I get that ability? "
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the three looked at each other. Da Ming Lun frowned. "Could it be that the Miss Lu was lying? That those songs weren't written by you? You can't joke about this. It's not just about you anymore. If anything happens, even the two of them will be implicated. "He pointed at Wei Chunqiu and Yun Peng.
"I …" Yue Qianchou was startled. He said helplessly, "I did it, but I didn't ask her to spread it around!" He couldn't say it out loud. If he was dealing with an ordinary person, he could just plagiarize one or two songs from his previous life. But the Immortal Emperor wanted him to make a song that would go down in history. Was there a song that would go down in history in his previous life?
Hearing him say this, Da Ming Lun heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since it was done by you, then do your best! I'm not forcing you to do it immediately. There's still half a year until the wedding. " Then he smiled meaningfully. "This matter will be of great benefit to you. Can't you see it?"
"What benefit?" Yue Qianchou was stunned. Da Ming Lun said indifferently, "How many people in the Immortal World can get the Immortal Emperor's decree to do things? With this decree on you, who would dare to touch you? Plus, the entire Immortal Palace will have to cooperate with you. Isn't this a great benefit? "
Yue Qianchou's eyes suddenly lit up. His expression didn't look awkward at all. He licked his lips and said, "In other words, during this period of time, I can do whatever I want in the Immortal World?"
Da Ming Lun frowned and said, "Doing whatever you want is a bit too much, but as long as it's not too much …" Before he finished speaking, Yue Qianchou had already rolled up his sleeves and interrupted him arrogantly, "Heartless Palace! Damn it! Help me destroy the Heartless Palace first … "
