Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 70: Banter with the Scholar, Farewell to the Young Female Disciple (Two in One)

"I'm really sorry, old sir."

"I know that you probably really need this 'Confucian book.'"

"But my senior brother also needs it."

"So, I can only apologize."

"We'll offer 210,000 Dao Yuan Shi."

However, after Liang Renxing's words were spoken, a clear and ethereal voice sounded from private room number 86.

The voice was gentle and polite, but the content unexpectedly rejected Liang Renxing's request.

This situation immediately surprised everyone present.

However, no one spoke up.

After all, they were currently in Tianxiang City.

Moreover, it was a special period when Yuan Qingxiang personally set up the auction and invited guests from all over the world.

At this time, there were simply too many powerful Divine Ability practitioners gathered in Tianxiang City.

Although Liang Renxing, the Liang Family Patriarch, was indeed extraordinary and had a great reputation in the Confucian world, it was not impossible for one or two indescribable existences who didn't care about his face to appear in the current Tianxing Auction House.

"Well, alright."

"Miss, what you said is true. I, the old man, was not well-prepared."

Upon hearing this, Liang Renxing did not linger too much.

Instead, after bowing, he withdrew from the competition.

In the private room, Liang Renxing sat back in front of the table and shook his head.

"Liang Shi, why did you...?"

At this moment, across from Liang Renxing, a man dressed in luxurious clothing immediately asked in confusion.

This man was none other than Li Xiangtian, the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

A sixth realm powerhouse.

The reason he asked this was because this time, in order to win the Confucian book "Zhi Sheng Wen Ge," they had brought a sufficient budget.

Almost the entire foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty had been moved.

Although it wasn't much, it was obvious that it could still support the current auction, which only had around 200,000 Dao Yuan Shi.

However, what he didn't expect was that Liang Renxing actually withdrew at this time.

This was not supposed to happen.

Could it be because the other party was an indescribable existence?

Not only Li Xiangtian was puzzled, but everyone present was also puzzled.

After all, this person from the Great Qian Dynasty was also one of the indescribable existences!

Li Xiangtian also thought of this point and worriedly asked, "Liang Shi, you don't need to worry about the Dao Yuan Shi."

"The Dao Yuan Shi is like a fluid. As long as we squeeze it, we will still have it."

"No, Your Majesty, we will not bid anymore."

However, at this moment, Liang Renxing shook his head.

He continued, "200,000 Dao Yuan Shi is already the accumulation of our dynasty for two hundred years."

"It's too much."

"Now is a time of many troubles, and the dynasty is in need of money."

"It's not worth it for me alone."

"Moreover, sacrificing a Confucian book in exchange for the goodwill of the person opposite is not a big loss."

After saying this, before Li Xiangtian could react, Liang Renxing took a step forward and opened the window of the private room.

Before he reached the window, he clasped his fists and bowed, saying to the room where Chen Chang'an and others were located, "Ten years to cultivate one's qi, shocking the world with one's qi!"

"Lao Xiu Liang Renxing has long heard of Chen Xiaoyou's name, but never expected that today would be the day when Chen Xiaoyou personally arrived."

"I have lost in the competition for this Confucian book."

"I just don't know if I have the honor of inviting Xiaoyou to sit down and become friends?"

Liang Renxing's words were extremely warm and friendly. Although he addressed Chen Chang'an as "Xiaoyou," the words between the lines seemed to be conversing with someone of the same level.

Huh??

Chen Xiaoyou?

Become friends?

When Liang Renxing spoke, he didn't think much of it himself, but everyone present was stunned.

Having grown up for so long, they had never seen Liang Gong be so polite to anyone before.

Although he was polite to ordinary people as well, it was not this kind of politeness.

This kind of politeness was reserved for fellow practitioners.

But, does it take ten years to cultivate one's qi and shock the world?

"Could it be him?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.

Then, he voiced his speculation.

Chen Chang'an of Tianshui!

As soon as the person said this, it immediately gained the agreement of a large number of people.

Indeed, the possibility of it being him was very high.

After all, if you were to talk about the most prominent figure in the Confucian circle during this period of time, it would undoubtedly be him.

Ten years to cultivate one's qi, not making a sound until suddenly making a startling appearance!

In just six steps, he had walked a path that many great scholars couldn't walk in their entire lives.

When the hundred flowers bloom, I do not bloom, but when I bloom, I kill the hundred flowers!

He is the one who has achieved the rank of a great Confucian in just six steps!

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned towards the location of Room 86.

In each pair of eyes, there was an endless curiosity and admiration.

"Liang Gong invited me, so naturally I agreed."

"However, I have some matters to attend to at the moment and cannot come to visit Liang Gong. I hope Liang Gong understands."

"After I have dealt with the matters here, I will definitely go to Liang Gong's residence to pay my respects."

"To have a gentlemanly friendship with Liang Gong."

"However, I have heard that Liang Gong has excellent tea, and I have no other hobbies in my life."

"So, when I come to visit Liang Gong in the future, I hope Liang Gong will not hesitate to spend a little more and brew a few more pots of tea."

At the next moment, a voice came from Room 86.

Before seeing the person, one could hear his voice.

It was the voice of a man.

Clear and gentle.

When you hear it, an image of a gentle and elegant young man with jade-like qualities would unconsciously appear in your mind.

Then, there was a creaking sound.

Sure enough, there was a gentle and elegant young man standing in front of the window of Room 86.

The young man was dressed in a green robe.

His figure was slightly thin.

But his eyes were extremely clear, reflecting the Galaxy.

He stood there, like a celestial being in the sky.

Elegant and easygoing, but always with the aura of a strong person!

"Hahaha."

"Young friend, rest assured, if you come in the future, I will definitely brew the best tea for you."

"I will definitely teach you to talk like a great Confucian and make you reluctant to leave."

When Liang Renxing saw Chen Chang'an appear as invited, he immediately laughed loudly.

However, after laughing, he regretfully said to Chen Chang'an:

"But, there are still some matters at the moment, so I can only make an appointment with you another day, young friend."

"I hope you understand."

"Liang Gong, please go ahead."

Chen Chang'an smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.

Although he had never met Liang Renxing in person, they had been close friends for a long time.

Liang Renxing, also known as Liang Gong, Liang Xiang, or Liang Shi, was a prime minister of the Daqian Empire for nearly three hundred years.

He had a strong literary background and was a great Confucian!

In these years, he had been stationed at the Heavenly Master's Mansion of the Great Qian Dynasty.

He defended the Great Qian Empire and the tens of millions of people in the entire Qianming Territory from the invasion of evil spirits from the "Filthy Sea" in the north.

In these years, because of the presence of Liang Gong, the people of Qianming Territory were able to live a relatively peaceful life.

It can be said that he truly governed a country on his own!

Liang Renxing's Confucian cultivation is very deep.

Even deeper than some of the sages.

To put it bluntly.

If he had not chosen to stay in the Qianming Domain, but chose to travel like other great Confucians.

Now, he is already a world-renowned great sage!

But unfortunately, he did not!

Chen Chang'an never had the idea of being the first in the world.

But towards this kind of person, he has always had a favorable impression.

So, when he heard Liang Renxing's goodwill, he finally responded to Liang Renxing's words.

"Then, Chen Xiaoyou, until we meet again."

Liang Renxing nodded, then bid farewell, and left with Li Xiangtian, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

They came to participate in the auction with the intention of trying to acquire the "Zhi Sheng Wen Ge".

Since they have no chance now, they have no need to stay here any longer.

The departure of the two people does not affect the auction in any way.

So, after Liang Renxing and the others left, the auction continued.

"Oh? Senior brother, they left."

"Did we win?"

Mao Ruxue looked at Chen Chang'an and asked happily.

Chen Chang'an shook his head and said,

"It's hard to say, what if there are others?"

"There are always wealthy people in this world."

However, Chen Chang'an's words were obviously unnecessary.

With a high price of 210,000, no one else could afford it.

So, without any surprises, Mao Ruxue soon won the "Confucian Book" through bidding.

When she got the item in her hands, the little girl couldn't be happier.

"Here, senior brother, this is for you."

She walked over and handed "Zhi Sheng Wen Ge" to Chen Chang'an.

"Okay."

Chen Chang'an reached out and took it. In the current private room, he was not very happy.

The so-called "Zhi Sheng Wen Ge" is actually of no use to him.

But it's not completely useless.

If he takes this thing back and tinkers with it a bit, he can come up with some good things for the younger generation.

Even distribute some benefits.

Next, several items were auctioned off one after another.

There was even an additional live preparation overtime auction.

Among them, Chen Chang'an also made a few moves and acquired several items.

However, most of them were of little use.

The only useful one was a dusty book, which seemed to be a miscellaneous record taken from the tomb of an ancient sage.

This book was a bit extraordinary, and Chen Chang'an was attracted to it after just a few glances.

For example, the first paragraph on the first page of the book reads:

[At that time, I was still poor, still a scholar.]

[That day, I passed by a place called Fengxia Pavilion and met a woman.]

[That woman was beautiful and elegant, like a fairy in the sky, and even more like 'Ouyang' losing its radical.]

[So, I went to find her.]

[That night, with a river of lotus, I carried two poles and worked all night.]

"But in the end, I was fined three days' worth of meals!"

[The specific details are as follows.]

Then, on the second page, the first line after flipping it open is:

[The story my sister-in-law and I have to tell.]

The third page, the fourth page, there are more than a thousand pages!

This book is wild.

Not only its content, but also its stories are wild.

It is said that the owner of this book suffered an indelible injury when blocking the God Abyss.

But, although it was a fatal injury, he ran tens of millions of miles in one night.

Running all the way home, he sealed this book with his lifelong Confucianism, and then died of exhaustion.

Unable to open the book, the descendants could only bury it together with the great sage in resignation.

It wasn't until recently that someone discovered it in the abyss and brought it out.

Just finished reading the first page and the table of contents, without hesitation, Chen Chang'an immediately closed the book.

This is a good book!

I need to read more, read it carefully!

"Senior brother, hey? What book is that in your hand?" Mao Ruxue saw Chen Chang'an's expression and immediately walked over to ask.

"It's nothing, just some useless miscellaneous notes." Chen Chang'an replied.

"Oh."

Mao Ruxue nodded as if she understood.

Soon, the group walked out of the auction house.

Then, they were about to leave, but Chen Chang'an stopped everyone.

He took out a storage ring from his pocket and handed it to Mao Ruxue.

With the group, they went to the market trading area for a stroll.

After the stroll, among the ten people who went, including Li Ziwan and others, each person had one or two more items in their hands.

Either a shining immortal sword or an extremely exquisite Treasure Weapon.

Extraordinary variety.

These items were not cheap.

At least they were Transcendent Level treasures worth hundreds or even thousands of Dao Source Stones.

Suddenly, the faces of Li Ziwan and the other disciples were filled with happiness.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Chang'an and the others had already arrived at the third day of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

Yuan Qingxiang Zun's banquet also began on this day.

"Senior brother, wake up."

Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting bright, the door of Chen Chang'an's courtyard was opened.

Then, Mao Ruxue, dressed in a green robe, walked in.

Behind her was Li Ziwan.

In the two days of living together day and night, the relationship between the two had surprisingly improved a lot.

When the two entered, Chen Chang'an had just gotten up and was drinking tea in the courtyard.

"Ziwan greets Senior Uncle."

Compared to Mao Ruxue's impetuousness, Li Ziwan appeared much more polite.

After seeing Chen Chang'an, she immediately bowed slightly and greeted him.

"Hmm."

Chen Chang'an nodded.

"The tea I just brewed, would you like some?"

Both women shook their heads.

"Never mind then."

Chen Chang'an nodded, then poured himself a small cup, and said:

"Let's go."

When the three of them reached the door, Xuanqingzi was already waiting there with six other disciples.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle."

Seeing Chen Chang'an come out, the disciples immediately bowed.

"Hmm."

Chen Chang'an nodded in acknowledgment, then turned to Xuanqingzi and said:

"Senior brother, it's getting late, let's go."

"Alright."

Xuanqingzi nodded, and then the group headed towards the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

However, they had not walked far when a sword-wielding woman in a green dress appeared not far ahead of them.

"Mr. Chen, we meet again."

"To my surprise, I am still the one receiving you this time."

When the woman saw Chen Chang'an and his group, she immediately walked over with a smile on her face.

PS: It will be updated the day after tomorrow. I've been rushing to finish the manuscript these past few days, so I won't divide it into chapters. Thank you all for your support.
