Since he had just sent Chongxuan to the Jixia Academy, not everyone would know about it immediately. And even among those who knew, after learning that his next opponent was Wang Yiwu, they might not necessarily be confident in Chongxuan's victory.

Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian were both there. Besides them, Gao Zhe from the Gahai family of Jinghai came, and Yan Fu from the Yanzhong family of Bei County arrived as well.

Gao Zhe and Gao Jing, who was stationed in the Tianfu Secret Realm, were cousins. His uncle was Gao Shaoling, the pacifier of Chiwei County. He also had the typical appearance of the Gao family from Jinghai, tall and strong with a wide nose and broad eyes. It is unknown how the beautiful and lovely Empress Jing came to be so breathtakingly beautiful.

But to those in the know, Yan Fu's background was actually even more significant. He was the grandson of former prime minister Yan Ping.

Although Yan Ping has been away from the world for many years, he still wields considerable influence over current affairs. As long as this elder doesn't close his eyes for a day, no one dares to underestimate the Yan family. Yan Fu's appearance is relatively mild and peaceful, lacking aggression. As for his true nature, since I haven't gotten close to him, it's difficult to judge.

As for the others, there's nothing much to say.

Those future top-tier young masters of the Linzi city, either weren't in the same circle or, like the Bao family, were already at odds with Chongxuan.

Of course, these people coming to participate in the banquet doesn't mean they have fully sided with Chong Xuan Sheng. It just means that after Chong Xuan Sheng displayed his abilities, the outcome of his match against Chong Xuan Zun has become uncertain again.

Most people are unwilling to offend both Chongxuan Zun and Chongxuan Sheng.

For Chong Xuan Sheng, returning to Linzi for two days was enough to turn the situation around to this extent; even if it meant achieving his goal.

Although it wasn't perfect, the banquet was a success, with both host and guests enjoying themselves.

"Raising cups and changing them, the intention of wine is to rest; From leaning on a warm jade pillow, bidding farewell to guests."

In the past, Gongsun Ye, following his pen, wrote about the romantic and lively atmosphere of Linzi.

Through countless years, the passage of time has not diminished its brilliance.

From daybreak till dusk.

As guests departed, those who stayed put remained. When the last guest went to rest, Chong Xuan, who had been 'roaming' at Red Sleeve all day and night, suddenly sat up straight.

That startled the beauty who had been using her jade legs as a pillow for him.

“Let’s go,” he shouted.

Just as the saying goes, "One learns by imitation," Jiang Wang, who was also lying with beautiful legs but whose heart and mind were immersed in the boundless sea of his five senses, immediately opened his eyes and got up. He wasn't drunk at all, nor did he feel any reluctance to leave.

The two of them left Hongxiu Building directly.

Xu Fang was a famous mad scholar.

Please note: I only translated the content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves were not changed.

What he was most famous for was publicly denouncing the Pauper's Treasure Merchant Association during a banquet, trampling the reputation of that powerful organization.

"The smell of copper" has been associated with the Treasure Pavilion for a long time.

Many people learn by imitation. When they see members of the Zhu Bao Chamber of Commerce, they deliberately hold their noses as if to show disgust. This makes the merchants in the Zhu Bao Chamber of Commerce very embarrassed.

At that time, Su She, the head of the Jùbǎo Merchant Association, merely smiled it off. He uttered a single phrase, "The world is bustling with people coming and going for money!" and did nothing else in response.

As for this matter, there are actually some follow-up events, just not as well-known. Or perhaps, they were intentionally suppressed.

Many people only know Xu Fang as a reckless and unruly man, who humiliated the Ju Bao Merchant Association. They don't know what price he paid for it afterwards. All they know is that he suddenly disappeared after that, except when someone mentioned "the smell of copper," he never reappeared in the aristocratic circle of Linzi.

By now, few people remember that the term "copper smell" once specifically referred to the Treasure Pavilion Merchant Association.

Linzi is the capital of a powerful state, a source of pride for the people of Qi, and a city of glory.

Almost all the top families in Qi State have businesses here. It can be said that this city is home to more than half of the high-ranking nobles in Qi, plus envoys from other countries, merchants, students, and strategists...

Linzi City embraced all of this with an extremely inclusive style, thus forming its unique temperament.

But this city, is not always glorious.

Yulifang is undoubtedly one of the poorest places in whole Linzi.

“It is said that a long time ago, this place was a fishing village. However, as time passed, it gradually became rumored to be called Yu after the surname Yu. But in fact, there aren't many families with the surname Yu in this area.” Chong Xuansheng, who also served as a guide, introduced to Jiang Wang.

Both of them had disguised themselves, in order to conceal their tracks and had not brought any attendants. However, with Chongxuan's imposing physique, how could he not stand out in this impoverished district

Jiang Wang, wrapped in a black robe, was surprised to hear this: "Isn't it quite far from here to the Haijun County How do fishermen live"

Throughout the entire Qi state, only three counties bordered the sea. Jinghai County was one of them, but it actually had very little coastline. The vast majority of the coastline was in Linhai County.

“Who knows” Chong Xuan shook his head. “Maybe in the past, Linzi wasn't this far from the sea.”

Perhaps... a long time ago, Linzi was by the sea.

Seas and mulberry fields change, the years flow. Those buried histories wait to be unearthed, but these two were not overly curious about things unrelated to them.

Perhaps the people here were originally surnamed Yu, and the so-called "Fishing Village Area" that Xuan Sheng excavated with great effort might be a misnomer.

They didn't mention those fishermen who might have existed, making a living on the Zi River. Because since the founding of the state of Qi, fishing in the Zi River has been prohibited by civilians. This is a ban recorded in the Laws of Qi.

It was very late at night.

All night revelry is a luxury for the rich, while most poor people go to bed at sunset. Because of hunger, cold, illness, and all sorts of other troubles, long nights are incredibly difficult.

However, in Yuli Fang, there are still some pairs of watchful eyes lurking by the roadside.

To be precise, those places by the roadside are their "homes."

Unconsciously avoiding the sewage on the ground, Chong Xuan Sheng ignored those lingering glances.

Without the backing of real strength, even the most wicked intentions are just a joke.

Although these eyes mostly held the purest evil, none of them acted on it.

In their lowly days, they also cultivated the instinct of life. These two men in black robes who dared to come to Yulifang in the middle of the night looked very intimidating.

Just like rats in a sewer, when they see a person, their first reaction is to hide. They have their own unique understanding of danger.

The feeling of boots stepping on filth wasn't very comfortable, but Jiang Wang didn't resist walking through it.

Just...

"I thought Qi wouldn't have these kinds of places," Jiang Wang said.

"Linzi offers many opportunities, but not everyone is willing to open their eyes, walk towards them, and seize them. Purely providing relief would drain the national treasury without enough."

"Those small nations have fewer of these places." Zhong Xuan Sheng replied calmly, "Because those kind of people were long ago eaten to the bone by ferocious beasts."

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Will Xu Fang be staying here"

Resources are finite, a truth that needs no further elaboration.

But, no matter how much he is given leeway, Xu Fang is still an extraordinary cultivator. There's no reason why he should end up in such a place.

Zhong Xuan Sheng stated emotionlessly: "My Dao heart is shattered! Both the large and small Zhou Tians have collapsed, and the Tong Tian Palace has been destroyed."

Of course, a scholar like Xu Fang wouldn't live in such a place, he probably wouldn't even pass by.

But a wastrel, living here is quite reasonable.
