At this moment, Zhexiu walked out of the building with the help of his walking stick. He looked at the three of them and said, "If you want to know, just ask him directly."
Tang Thirty-Six shook his head and said, "I asked him, but he didn't tell me. Moreover, judging from his reaction at that time, I'm afraid he wouldn't tell me even if you beat him to death."
Xuanyuan Po felt a bit of a headache and said, "In your opinion, what is most likely to have happened?"
Tang Thirty-Six said, "I suspect that he prepared for Xu You Rong to win from the beginning, so he told me to bet on him to lose. In the end, he didn't expect that he would win when he wasn't careful, so he's acting so strange now …"
Su Moyu shook his head and said, "Even if there was a deviation from our calculations, it shouldn't be like this."
Tang Thirty Six said, "You don't understand. What I mean is, it is very likely that he used all his wealth to bet … that he would lose."
The field was silent, Xuan Yuan Po only understood after a while, he sucked in a breath of cold air and said: "Then isn't Chen Chang Sheng faking it?"
Zhexiu saw that their words were getting more and more outrageous, so he shook his head and left, no longer caring about the matter.
Su Mo Yu helplessly said: "From what I see, Chen Chang Sheng's cultivation in the Dao has only deepened with each passing day, so victory or defeat isn't tied to his heart. You're all worrying too much."
Xuanyuan Po thought for a moment before he shook his head and said, "Just now in the car, his silly smile and frown didn't seem like it."
Tang Thirty Six sneered and said, "If even a black bear can see it, then he really has a problem."
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the window upstairs.
He wasn't facing an enemy, nor was there a cockroach. He was just venting.
"Look … if he hadn't lost so much money, he wouldn't be in so much pain. When have you ever seen him so emotional? "
Tang Thirty-Six sighed as he looked at the window on the third floor.
However, the next moment, the shouts from the room turned into the humming of a song. One could vaguely tell that it was an unknown folk song.
Su Mo Yu looked at Tang Thirty-Six and said, "You still think he's in a bad mood?"
Tang Thirty-Six said, "I've said it before, it's not a matter of good or bad mood, it's a matter of fluctuating emotions."
Su Mo Yu thought about it and realized that Tang Thirty Six's words made sense.
In the Orthodox Academy, when it came to controlling one's emotions, Wofu Zhexiu was naturally the strongest, followed by Chen Changsheng. No matter if it was in his daily life or during xiu xing or battle, Chen Chang Sheng had never lost control of his emotions. He was calm and steady beyond his age, even giving off a feeling of being experienced.
But today, Chen Chang Sheng was clearly different.
"Have you heard of the story of a Jin merchant who passed the imperial examinations?" Tang Thirty Six looked at the window on the third floor, squinted his eyes and said: "If my conjecture just now was wrong, then it is extremely likely that he was too ecstatic after winning against Xu You Rong, and thus became insane."
At this moment, the window on the third floor was suddenly pushed open. Chen Chang Sheng stuck his head out and looked down.
Tang Thirty Six and the others were shocked. They quickly lowered their heads and mumbled something in a low voice. They pretended to be chatting so that he wouldn't notice anything strange.
Chen Chang Sheng didn't know that people in the Tradition Academy were worried about his mental state. He yelled, "Tang Tang, come up and help me."
…
…
"What kind of help?"
"Help me take a look and see what clothes I should wear." Chen Chang Sheng pointed at the clean and tidy clothes in his wardrobe. Even after a year, they still looked like new clothes. He said to Tang Thirty Six, "Mm … it's not a very formal occasion. I just don't want to be rude."
Tang Thirty Six looked at the ten-odd plain-colored clothes in the wardrobe and said helplessly, "Who do you think can tell the difference between these clothes?"
Just like how Xu You Rong felt when she spied on the Orthodox Academy, Chen Chang Sheng's clothes were always of the same style, of the same plain colors. Besides being clean, there was nothing special about them.
Chen Chang Sheng thought that this was indeed the case. After a while, he said, "Why don't you lend me one of your clothes?"
"The Moon of the Demons really came to the capital?"
Tang Thirty Six looked as if he heard something unbelievable. He stared at his eyes for a while and said in confusion, "For normal people, the celebration banquet of the Li Palace is of course important. But you can't go in and out of the Li Palace so casually. Why do you care so much about it?"
Chen Chang Sheng was startled. Only now did he remember that there was a banquet at the Li Palace this evening. The battle on the Bridge of Helplessness attracted the attention of the world. As the principal of the Tradition Academy and the accepted successor of the Pope, he defeated Xu You Rong, who represented the Tian Hai Divine Empress and the Southern Sect. This celebration banquet was unavoidable.
"I have something to do in a while … you and Su Mo Yu represent me to the Li Palace. I might need you to help me explain a few things to the Pope."
Tang Thirty Six was very surprised. He thought that there was nothing more important than this banquet. It was very likely that the Pope would announce something during this banquet.
"What are you going to do?"
"I really can't tell you."
Tang Thirty Six didn't ask anymore. He walked to the window and looked at the snowy lake with his hands behind his back. He said casually, "Where does the academy's carriage go to pick you up?"
They were too familiar with each other. Chen Chang Sheng knew what he wanted to do. He also knew that if he asked, Tang Thirty Six would say that it was difficult to walk on the cold night.
"I won't tell you the location. Don't even think about following me."
He looked at Tang Thirty Six's back and said, "This is my own business. Let me deal with it myself."
Tang Thirty Six didn't turn around. He asked, "Are you sure you can deal with it yourself?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "I'm not sure. I hope I can."
After saying this, he took out a plain robe that he usually wore from his wardrobe. He looked at the bamboo dragonfly on the bookshelf and walked out of the room.
Tang Thirty Six stood by the window and watched him walk out of the house into the winter forest by the lake. After a while, he watched him leap over the wall of the academy and disappear. He couldn't help but frown. He thought, for you to be so cautious and your movements so secretive, just what are you going to do?
He walked through the cold winter forest, crossed over the snow-covered wall of the academy, lowered his bamboo hat, and merged with the crowd on the street. He walked towards the gloomy sun over the snowy clouds. It didn't take long before he arrived at a very ordinary alley in the western part of the city. The alley was very short, but its location was excellent. Not far from it was the Li Palace, so there were many restaurants and restaurants.
This alley was the Fortune Peace Road written on the slip of paper.
Chen Chang Sheng stood at the mouth of the alley and lowered his head to look at himself. After confirming that everything was in order, he slightly relaxed.
He wore ordinary clothes, but they were washed very clean. Earlier in the Orthodox Academy, he had also washed himself very clean.
On the Bridge of Helplessness, her fingertip had left a drop of blood between his eyebrows. Just as he had confirmed after leaving the Garden of Zhou, his blood no longer had any scent. After washing it three times, there was even less of a scent remaining. His body now only had the fresh and faint scent of soap leaves.
His black hair was tied up very tightly. It was slightly damp and not completely dry. As it was blown by the wind of the winter streets, a thin layer of frost had formed on its surface.
It was just like his current mood.

(Today, Tencent Academy gave me the honor of Novelist of the Year. I'm very honored and happy because of Falling Night's novel … In 2013, I took a break for half a year because of my health, so the latter half of Falling Night's novel didn't get the evaluation it deserved. In other words, I've always felt that Falling Night's novel is the most underrated among my novels. Now, apart from the great readers, I've gotten some new recognition. I'm really happy about this and I'm very grateful to Tencent Academy. Logically speaking, I should attend the award ceremony and sit with Liu Cixin and take a few selfies. But as everyone knows, I've been busy this month and really didn't have the time. It's a pity. I've been very busy and tired today. That's all for this chapter. I'll go and sort out the details of the later chapters later. There will be two more chapters tomorrow. Thank you, everyone. Just take it that I've thanked you for nothing. Still, thank you. See you tomorrow.)
