Chapter 34: Flashy Fruit Platter, Chen Changsheng: All Trash
Facing Chen Changsheng’s suggestion, Zuo Xinghe was silent and did not respond.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled but did not say anything.
The Left Emperor had lived for 2,300 years; his lifespan was twice as long as that of a cultivator in the Transcendent Divine stage.
As they said, old people become shrewd, and old horses become slippery. Nowadays, Chang’an City could indeed be called a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair.
If not for investigating the clues of the Bronze Ancient Palace, he would absolutely not get involved in this matter.
…
In the imperial palace of Chang’an City.
The nine princes of the Xuanwu Kingdom gathered in the great hall, with a young man sitting high on the dragon throne.
This young man was none other than the strongest emperor in the history of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the Imperial Venerable of Xuanwu.
Imperial Venerable of Xuanwu rested his chin on his hand, smiling at his nine sons.
At this moment, one of the princes stepped forward and said, “Father, your son has visited many experts and searched all the famous mountains and rivers of the Xuanwu Kingdom.”
“Finally, I found a place where a dragon can rest. With this place, it will surely help you live longer.”
Seeing another prince stepping forward, the other princes did not want to fall behind and started talking about their efforts in finding the dragon’s resting place.
However, among the nine princes, only Prince Zuo Xinghe remained silent.
He didn’t speak because he was simply watching Chen Changsheng destroy the fruit platter in front of him.
Seeing his brothers introducing their findings, Zuo Xinghe felt extremely anxious!
“Sir, eating these can wait.”
“Shall we first introduce the dragon’s resting place?”
Hearing Zuo Xinghe’s suggestion, Chen Changsheng swallowed the spiritual fruit in his mouth and said, “Now it’s a banquet, eating is the main thing, and besides, what you should be concerned about now isn’t this.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xinghe’s face was filled with confusion.
“Now, if you’re not concerned about the dragon’s resting place, what else could you be focusing on?”
Facing Zuo Xinghe’s lack of understanding, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes.
“Your father is about to d*e, and you nine sons are happily looking for his burial site. Don’t you think this is a bit unreasonable?”
After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, Zuo Xinghe immediately understood.
It was true that the Emperor wanted to find a dragon’s resting place, and it was also true that his time was running out.
But at this moment, what he, as a son, should have thought about first was not how to find a good burial site for his father, but rather, not wanting to part with him.
Even if he didn’t think that way inside, he still needed to put on a show.
Thinking of this, Zuo Xinghe softly said, “Sir, is it too late?”
“It’s never too late to mend, remember to exaggerate your actions.”
Receiving Chen Changsheng’s response, Zuo Xinghe immediately stood up and rushed forward.
During the run, he knelt down on both knees, then hit his forehead hard on the ground.
“Father!”
“I can’t bear to part with you!”
All the princes: ??
Zuo Xinghe’s sudden move caught the other eight princes off guard.
At the same time, the Left Emperor on the dragon throne turned his gaze toward Chen Changsheng who was destroying the fruit platter.
This old monster who had lived for over 2,300 years was naturally beyond doubt in terms of strength.
All conversations in the great hall were heard by him.
He naturally knew the thoughts and personalities of the nine princes, and it seemed that the helper brought by his eldest son was somewhat interesting.
Thinking of this, the Left Emperor spoke, “A true man should not cry and make a scene. This is unbecoming.”
Facing the Left Emperor’s slightly scolding tone, Zuo Xinghe cried even louder.
Warm reminder: The functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust font size,” and “Reading background color” are available at the top right corner of the page.
…
“Father, there are times when a man does not shed tears lightly, it’s just that he hasn’t reached the point of heartbreak yet.”
“Now that I am about to part from you, Father, I feel so reluctant!”
Looking at his eldest son’s superb acting skills, the Left Emperor smiled slightly and used a bit of spiritual energy to help Zuo Xinghe up.
“I understand your filial piety, but parting and d*ath are predestined, you don’t need to be too sad.”
After saying this, the Left Emperor waved his hand, and an attendant immediately brought Chen Changsheng an even larger “fruit platter.”
Facing the Left Emperor’s reward, Chen Changsheng grinned widely.
“Thank you, Left Emperor!”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng continued his behavior of showing off the “fruit platter” and even ate and took some.
All the princes: …
Can you not be ashamed? How did you come up with such shameless tactics?
Why couldn’t I think of them?
Although the Left Emperor did not explicitly say anything, the other eight princes knew that Zuo Xinghe’s recent behavior was clearly a plus.
With the small performance ending, the Left Emperor finally began to talk about the main topic.
“My time is running out, and I want to find a place where I can reverse my fate and live again.”
“Ten years ago, I promised that whoever finds the true place of immortality, the throne of the Xuanwu Kingdom will be theirs.”
“Now is the time for you to show your results.”
After the words fell, the eight princes all gave a meaningful look to the “experts” beside them.
Following this, those “experts” stepped forward confidently, introducing the dragon’s resting places they found.
The descriptions sounded so divine that even Zuo Xinghe felt envious.
However, as the helper, Chen Changsheng continued to show off the “fruit platter,” without any intention of speaking.
Half an hour passed, and the eight dragon resting places were introduced.
Everyone’s attention turned to Chen Changsheng, watching his crude behavior, the princes were displeased.
“Eldest Brother, where did you find such a rustic fellow? Now is the critical moment of our father’s grand plan.”
“Bringing someone like this into the great hall is not only embarrassing but also brings shame to the Xuanwu Kingdom.”
Hearing this, Zuo Xinghe was about to retort, but Chen Changsheng had already finished the last spiritual fruit, speaking slowly.
“Have you never heard of the climax appearing last?”
“Great people always appear last, why are you in such a hurry?”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng looked at the Left Emperor.
“Dare I ask, Left Emperor, do you have a map?”
“If possible, the map should be as large and detailed as possible.”
Hearing this, the Left Emperor waved his finger, and a strong man immediately carried in a huge scroll of a map.
The map was spread out, covering half of the palace.
Chen Changsheng carefully studied the map while marking the previously mentioned eight dragon resting places.
After finishing everything, Chen Changsheng bowed and said, “Left Emperor, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but in my eyes, these eight places are all trash.”
“If you want to reverse your fate and live again, there is only one place that has a chance.”
Upon hearing this, many experts in the hall became angry instantly.
“How dare you! Which sect did you learn from? You dare to speak such nonsense here.”
“Tell us your sect, so we can teach your master a lesson.”
Facing everyone’s anger, Chen Changsheng cleaned his ears and said indifferently.
“I apologize, my sect is not skilled in feng shui. These things are self-taught.”
“Moreover, my main job is selling coffins, and I also work part-time in feng shui and handling white affairs.”
