Mo Yu looked at him and said carelessly, "In the end, it's up to you to decide. In my opinion, it's best if you win her. I don't like her anyway."
Chen Chang Sheng didn't understand and asked, "I remember you said you were good friends with her."
"It's easy for friends to dislike each other."
Mo Yu turned around and walked out of the library.
When Chen Chang Sheng and Mo Yu were talking, Tang Thirty Six kept silent until her figure disappeared outside of the library. Then he walked in front of Chen Chang Sheng and stared at his eyes without saying a word.
"You look scary like this." Chen Chang Sheng said.
Tang Thirty Six stared at his eyes and said, "They say the eyes are the window to the soul. I really want to see how many things you are hiding from us."
"What am I hiding from you?"
"How come I don't know? When did you become so close with Lady Mo?"
Chen Chang Sheng didn't know how to explain.
They belonged to different factions, but they had contact in private ….. but this was a small matter. The key was that he really couldn't tell Mo Yu why he knew her. No matter how powerful Mo Yu was, she was still a beautiful girl. Her reputation was important. He couldn't tell the world that Lady Mo Yu, who was like a goddess in everyone's eyes, would climb into his bed and sleep whenever she had nothing to do …..
"Chen Chang Sheng, you're good." Tang Thirty Six sighed, "The scabbard is the divine weapon of Li Palace, the sword is also going to be a famous weapon on the Tier of Legendary Weapons. Your fiancee is Xu You Rong, your female student is Luo Luo, and now you're having an affair with Lady Mo who all the men in Zhou Dynasty like ….."
Chen Chang Sheng said seriously, "You have to make it clear. I haven't even touched her hand."
Tang Thirty Six's expression clearly didn't believe him, but then he became serious. He looked at him and said seriously, "Stay away from her."
Chen Chang Sheng understood his meaning and nodded.
Tang Thirty Six said, "Remember my words. This woman isn't simple and she's cold. Even if you want to do business, don't choose her."
Chen Chang Sheng thought of Mo Yu who imprisoned him in Tong Palace and nodded again.
Then he thought of the black dragon deep in Tong Palace. He realized that because he was too busy recently, he didn't go to New North Bridge.
"I have something to do tonight." He said to Tang Thirty Six.
Tang Thirty Six looked at him and sneered, "See, this is another secret."
Chen Chang Sheng smiled and didn't say anything.
Tang Thirty Six walked out of the library side by side with him and suddenly said, "I won't blame you for that anymore."
Chen Chang Sheng was confused. He looked at him and asked, "What is it?"
"Last year at the inn, I wanted to take your sword, but you didn't let me. I've always been very unhappy about that … Now that I think about it, when we first met, it was reasonable for you to be cautious."
The manager of the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance had just confirmed the value of Chen Chang Sheng's sword. Tang Thirty Six asked himself, if he was in Chen Chang Sheng's shoes, he would also view this sword as a treasure and not easily look at others.
Chen Chang Sheng was startled for a moment before remembering this old matter. He shook his head and said, "You're too vengeful."
Tang Thirty Six's sword-like eyebrows twitched. "You know that the demons can see fewer stars than us, right?"
This was something recorded in the Book of Dao. Not long ago, Chen Chang Sheng had just returned from the snowy plains of the demon domain. Of course, he was very clear about it. He nodded.
"At night, our sky is filled with stars, but their side is different. Some places are densely packed with stars, and some places are very sparse. Stars that are close to each other can form a picture."
"I know. Nanke's Southern Cross Sword was created from the two Star Rivers in their night sky."
"The Star River is very wide. What we're going to talk about is the matter in the middle of the Star River."
"What matter?"
"The demons will combine the different shapes of the stars into constellations. Beings born on different days belong to different constellations and have their own characteristics."
"And then?"
"If I'm on the side of the demons, according to my date of birth, I should be a Scorpio."
Chen Chang Sheng stopped. He remembered that the Scripture of Way did have records about this, but he didn't understand why Tang Thirty Six suddenly mentioned this matter. It should be known that the demons and humans had different cultural backgrounds. In their respective territories, the totems or things that the other side worshipped would become taboo.
"Right, that manager of the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance …" He stopped in confusion because he realized that he had forgotten what the manager looked like.
He had only been observing the sword for a few moments, and his memory had always been good. How could he forget the appearance of the person he had just met?
Tang Thirty Six did not hear him continue asking about the constellations. Just as he was feeling somewhat dissatisfied, he couldn't help but be startled by his words.
Because he realized that he had also forgotten what the manager looked like. Moreover, as his memories continued, the events that had occurred in that period of time became more and more insignificant.
Not everything was fading, but the manager. He even had a feeling that he, Chen Chang Sheng, and Mo Yu, had been the only people who had been observing the sword in the library.
Chen Chang Sheng and he glanced at each other, seeing the unease and fear in each other's eyes.
Was the manager of the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance so formidable?
Just who was this manager?
He … just who was he?
… …
… …
After the manager left the Orthodox Academy, he did not wait for Mo Yu, but went straight to the Imperial Palace.
The one to receive him at the palace gate was that elderly chief eunuch.
The chief eunuch's face carried a faint arrogance. Whether it was the leader of the imperial guards or the other eunuchs who respectfully bowed, they would only use their noses to give a light hum. Naturally, they would not speak to the manager.
No one noticed that in the quiet and secluded depths of the palace, the cold arrogance on the chief eunuch's face had completely disappeared. He whispered to the manager, his demeanor even seeming somewhat humble.
On this continent, the number of people that had the qualifications to make this chief eunuch act so humble could not exceed ten.
In the secular world, the manager of the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance was naturally an important figure, but he would definitely not be ranked among these ten.
So the truth was very simple. This old man was not the manager of the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance.
Even though he truly did come from the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance.
In a remote palace hall, the Divine Empress met with this old man.
Even she displayed great respect for this old man, inviting him to sit first before sitting down herself.
The identity of this old man was already on the verge of being revealed.
This conversation very quickly concluded, because the Divine Empress and this old man from the Pavilion of Divine Ordinance had only exchanged three sentences.
Two of these sentences had been said by this old man.
"His surname is Chen."
"I can't tell how old he is."
After hearing these two sentences, the Divine Empress fell silent for a very long time. Then she turned to the old man and calmly said, "You've worked hard. Mount Langya's scenery is not bad. In the future, if there's a chance, I will go as a guest."
The old man nodded, rose, and left the Imperial Palace.
At this time, the hot tea on the table had just been served, still steaming.
The Divine Empress gazed at the white steam rising from the teacup, lost in thought.
Mount Langya was a famed mountain by the Western Sea. It had a circumference of several hundred li and its scenery was serene and beautiful. It was said that when the weather was at its best, one could faintly see the Great Western Continent's White Deer Horn from its highest peak.
This famed mountain had once belonged to the south and had also been occupied by the Great Western Continent. In the last two hundred years, it had become part of the Great Zhou, but it had not received the recognition of all the powers, so it was nominally ownerless.
The Divine Empress had previously said that if there was a chance, she would go to Mount Langya as a guest. Her meaning was that from today onwards, the Great Zhou would no longer be the master of Mount Langya.
Mount Langya had changed masters today.
This famed mountain by the sea was the price she had paid to invite this old man to the capital.
For this, the old man only needed a glance.
Of course, he did not look at the sword, but at the person.
Even if the Stainless Sword was a divine weapon and would enter the Tier of Legendary Weapons, it was not worth Mount Langya.
What was truly worth this price was Chen Changsheng.
The Divine Empress looked at the gradually dissipating white steam and thought of the two sentences the old man had left behind. She said nothing.
Chen Changsheng was obviously surnamed Chen.
The old man had said that he was surnamed Chen, meaning that he was of the Chen Imperial Family.
Many people knew that Chen Changsheng was sixteen this year.
The old man said that he could not see his age, which meant that he might not even be sixteen, or his real age might be even older.
The Divine Empress stood up and walked out of the hall.
Her sleeves fluttered, and the steam rising from the tea on the table instantly disappeared without a trace. The tea in the bowl had turned into ice.
Walking out of the hall, she held her hands behind her back and looked at the small pond in front of her with some pride.
But it was unknown what she had thought of.
The water in the pond was very green and very quiet. As the night wind blew, fine lines appeared on the surface.
She stood by the pond for a very long time, from early morning to dusk, and then night fell.
The water in a certain part of the pond suddenly began to surge, as if something was about to emerge.
