The Second Collection Misty Canyon Chapter 28 Sincerity
On this day, even the residents of Yicheng who had been shrouded in foul air for several days got up early and set off firecrackers and lanterns in front of their own doors.
Today is the day of Ning Wangfu's tenth son and Qingling of Jingling Lake's engagement, also the day of the grand opening of the fields.
To be honest, the people of Yicheng didn't pay much attention to the so-called engagement between Ning Wangfu's 14th prince. Yicheng was just a small place under the jurisdiction of the three southwestern states, and it was named after the phoenix tail grass. The influence of the phoenix tail grass on them far exceeded that of the Ning Wangfu. The permanent institutions of the Ning Wangfu in Yicheng were only some business firms. Moreover, the residents of Yicheng didn't have much goodwill towards Wang Guanlan either. As soon as this young master arrived in Yicheng and took over the Ning Wangfu's business here, he started making trouble and causing unrest among everyone, almost smashing their rice bowls and even stinking up Yicheng twice. It was false to say that they had no opinion about Wang Guanlan.
So they decorated with lanterns and streamers not to celebrate Wang Guanlan's engagement but to celebrate the grand opening of plowing.
According to past experience, the Opening of the Fields ceremony in Yicheng is the only day when residents can freely enter Fengming Valley. However, today, any resident with a brain understands that they are no longer able to enter Fengming Valley for the ceremony. Ten days ago, Fengming Valley was already sealed off, and on the day of the Opening of the Fields ceremony, only a small number of celebrities from within the city walls were allowed to enter.
Fengming Valley is now bustling with excitement. A huge high platform has been set up, adorned with flowers and a festive atmosphere.
Inside the valley, people came and went, all sorts of people shuttling back and forth. Among them, a small part were famous figures from Yicheng who had come to attend the ceremony, while the majority were martial artists and people from the jianghu who had come to watch the excitement.
Of course, today's able to enter the valley and watch the commotion are all people with a certain status in the martial arts world. They are famous and renowned martial artists, as well as some high-ranking elders from large sects. After all, this matter involves the current generation of Jianghu and has caused such a big stir. It's impossible for the people in the martial arts world not to be concerned, let alone they also want to see what kind of person Ning Wang's illegitimate child is.
"It's really lively, isn't it!!" In the crowd, a stout figure moved his feet and looked around with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "Qingling that stinky girl is actually going to get engaged, and she's getting engaged to a 15-year-old kid. The engagement ceremony is being held at the same time as the opening ceremony of the farm, what the hell is this all about?!"
This fat man had a sly look on his face, and in his mind, he was repeatedly pondering the deeper meaning of the words "engagement" and "opening". Finally, he pulled at his own chubby cheeks, "Let's take a look, let's take a look, see if Jun Sheng and Xia Dongyuan will make a move today, and also see how Wang Guanlan's array skills are. This five-element array is indeed arranged quite well by him, but I couldn't see any clues at all. However, in the end, it still depends on whether this array can exert its due power. If this array cannot break through the first layer of the ever-changing boundary, then even if this kid is good at arrays, he will definitely lose!" He squeezed out of the crowd with force, wiped a hand over his sweaty forehead, shook his fat buttocks and moved to a large tree, then sat down at the foot of the tree with a thud, and actually fell asleep leaning against that big tree.
His stout figure was originally very eye-catching, and his behavior was so casual that he naturally attracted the attention of some people in the valley.
"What kind of person is this kid, how did he get in here, and what does he think Phoenix Valley is? It's really humiliating! Come on, get him out of here!!" One of the small leaders of the Huā Lí Wèi, who was responsible for maintaining order in the valley, took one look at the fat man's sloppy and lecherous appearance and immediately disliked him, thinking to himself that he should get rid of this fat man.
"Shut up!" Before he could wait for Hua Lianwei's response from under his hand, a stern voice came from behind him.
"Ah, Commander Yuan, you've come yourself?!" The little leader turned his head and saw that it was Hua Lianwei's deputy commander, and he jumped in fright, hastily paying his respects.
"That's Fengjiu, ranked third on the Profound Abyss Continent, someone you can't afford to provoke!"
"What, Fengjiu?!" The little leader was startled and took a big jump, looking at the bottom of the big tree, suddenly shivering, "He's also here?!"
"I heard that Lian Junsheng and Xia Dongyuan are also here this time, it seems that our Fourteenth Young Master is quite annoying!" The surname Yuan commander smiled with a hint of schadenfreude. He was the deputy commander of one of the two Wei Huawei guards assigned to the Third Son, and he completely stood on the side of the Third Son. Therefore, he had no good feelings towards Wang Guanlan, who had conflicts with the Third Son, and was even full of malice.
"Our 14th Young Master is really something, in just a few days he's managed to provoke all the young and powerful people under heaven!" The little leader followed up on his topic, with malice in his tone, "Sir, you think this time the 14th Young Master will definitely fall, right?!"
"Hmm?!" Commander Yuan glared at him coldly, "Don't spout nonsense, just do your job and that's it. Remember, today anyone who enters the valley must be treated with courtesy, not a single one is to be offended, otherwise, even if you were dead, you probably wouldn't rest in peace!
"Yes!" The little leader shuddered suddenly and didn't dare say another word.
,“…………………
"Unexpectedly, Fengjiu has also arrived! ~!" At this time, inside a thatched cottage deep in the Phoenix Valley, King Ning Wang Bizheng let out a soft sigh. Beside him stood a tall and thin old man with clear wings, who was none other than the first minister of the Ningwang Mansion, the high-ranking wizard Jiufenshu.
In front of the two, a copper mirror the size of a face basin stood upright, and the scene within twenty miles was clearly reflected in the mirror, just like Wang Guanlan's computer screen in his previous life. It could conveniently display the scenery of Fengming Valley in front of them.
"This Fengjiu is quite interesting!" Wang Guanlan stood behind the two, today's matter was of great importance, so after the opening ceremony, he was called here by Wang Bicheng to have a good talk with him.
"Fengjiu's origins are mysterious, his cultivation has already reached the 8th layer of Lianqi, absolutely cannot be underestimated!!" Wang Bicheng furrowed his brow, looking at the fat guy who was lying under the tree, snoring loudly. "If it's not necessary, it's better not to stimulate him!"
"What if he challenges me?!"
"Then do what you want, just remember, anyone who challenges you doesn't need to be spared, whether it's Fengjiu or Junsheng, Xia Dongyuan, don't mind them, just do your own part!"
"I see!" Wang Guanlan nodded, a hint of excitement appearing on his face. "It seems that this time, I really have the opportunity to witness the young heroes of the world!"
"Don't mess things up!" Wang Bicheng glanced at Wang Guanlan, "I've prepared everything you wanted, and your Five Elements Formation is also fully set up. If we still can't hold off these young powerhouses, our Ning Wang Fu won't be able to intervene either. And if you get killed in the formation, I won't even have a reason to avenge you!!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't lose!" Wang Guanlan smiled and turned his head to look at Mr. Jiufeng, "Sir, how many cultivators do you think are in this valley?"
"Even among us, there are only three in total!" Mr. Jiu Fen smiled and said, "What's wrong, Fourteenth Young Master, are you afraid of the martial artist?"
"I accept the challenge as a Formation Master, it's not something unusual. Those who want to deal with me should have made preparations, right? Even if not all of them are prepared, at least some people will be prepared, won't they? Haven't you seen that the Guiding Bees are already flying wildly everywhere?"
"For you, the Guide Bees are not a concern!" Mr. Jiufeng looked at him and said, "The Guide Bees, this spirit beast, is for guiding the way again, not for breaking through arrays. They are very clear about this point, so they brought so many here, thinking that it's better to be prepared. It seems that this time, the Beast Tamer Gate will make a good profit!"
"I'm not afraid of dealing with the Guide Bees, what I'm worried about is that there will be another Array Master joining in!"
"There are not many array masters under the age of thirty in the entire Da Qi, and those who can break your array are even fewer. Even if these challengers have learned about the mysteries of the Five Elements Array from an array master before, each array has a completely different effect in different people's hands. They may understand it, but only superficially. What I'm worried about now is that they will use powerful artifacts, or even spiritual artifacts and spiritual soldiers to forcibly break your array, which might cause trouble!"
"My formation is not that easy to break!" Wang Guanlan had enough confidence in his own formation, "The only person I'm worried about is Zhu Zhihua!"
"This is also what we're worried about!" Wang Bizheng glanced at Wang Guanlan and said, "Why did you have to say those things to him? Even if they were your true feelings, there was no need to say them in front of Zhu Zhihua. This will only increase his hostility towards you!"
"I know!" Wang Guanlan smiled suddenly, "Father king, I remember you once told me that Zhu Zhihua was known for being meticulous and leaving no stone unturned. Even if I didn't say anything, he would still be able to figure it out. What's the difference whether I speak or not?!"
"Zhu Zhihua is a very troublesome person, don't be fooled by his current appearance of being a wise and enlightened man, in his early years he was ruthless and cunning, I'm afraid he's already thinking of ways to deal with you!" Mr. Jiu Fen slowly paced back and forth in the thatched hut, finally stopping in front of Wang Guanlan, "You are now the target of everyone's criticism, yet at this critical moment, you still do such a thing, what is your plan?"
Wang Guanlan slowly raised his head, without any guilt, and stared straight at Mr. Jiu Fen, "On the contrary, I'm afraid it's you who will be laughed at. My ambition is not big, as long as I can take down that Zhu Zhihua today, that's all!"
"You want to kill Zhu Zhihua, why? You and he have no feud or grudge!" Wang Bizheng suddenly jumped up, with an incredulous look on his face.
"This old fellow has committed murder, I just wanted to send him on his way a little earlier!!" Wang Guanlan slightly raised her head, with a face full of sorrow and sympathy.
