Shen Lian looked at Chen Qing oddly. It made her feel uncomfortable.

She asked, “Do you know what I am going to say?”

Shen Lian laughed softly, “You are thinking about having another sister for me.”

Chen Qing sighed, “I am not taking precaution against you. If you are willing to be the master of Xi Liang City, I am more than happy, but do you care about the fortification?”

Shen Lian said, “Since you’re clear about it, why do you need to ask me? I will try my best to take care of her.”

Chen Qing was slightly touched. She felt that while Shen Lian was cold, he had a warm heart.

Shen Lian subsequently said, “For the youngest aunt, she has left with the merchants of Da Xia. It is hard to find her, but after a few years, there will definitely be a way for me. You don’t need to worry.”

Chen Qing nodded, “This is what I am about to say.”

Shen Lian laughed, “What else do you want to talk about?”

Chen Qing was slightly embarrassed as she heard it. She indeed wanted to continue the conversation but she did not know what to say. She could only say, “On your way here, can you see if the residents are living and working in peace and contentment?”

Shen Lian said, “They will follow all your orders. However, Xi Liang City is still a small place, why don’t we try to expand outside?”

Chen Qing was quiet for a while before she said, “Let’s wait a bit more.”

She was smart. She knew that Xi Liang City would never be the same with Shen Lian. With the Shenzu Scripture, it would excite the heart, and lead someone to explore how big the world was.

This was not something that could be stopped by anyone.

Recently she began to realize something had changed about Han Ying. She always went to the top of the city wall in the evening. She would stare at the sunset quietly. It seemed like she wanted to know what was outside of the mountain.

Han Ying became more and more different. The city wall was tall, but she could reach the top with a few leaps from the bottom. She was always running around at night.

She was not like Chen Qing who focused on political affairs. She put all her effort in cultivation and hence she improved greatly.

If Han Ying behave like this, surely the other guards who were cultivating under Shenzu Scripture would do the same. To be able to stay put despite having great skills was only for someone who got sick of the glamor, or for someone who was no longer surprised with how miraculous one’s technique was.

She was aware that Shen Lian had predicted this. He planted a seed for this to happen.

After a while, Chen Qing said, “Little Lian, I heard that there is this flower at a far far away place. It will bloom in the sky, and within seconds it will be gone. However, the beauty of it can touch any soul. If one day Xi Liang City were to reach the end of it, I hope it will bloom like that flower.”

Shen Lian spoke softly, “Xi Liang City’s flower will only bloom and not wither. You have to have faith in me.”

Chen Qing wanted to say there were still Da Xia and Yin Shang in the world. If Xi Liang City became a kingdom, surely it would attract the attention of the two giants. A weak grass could still survive in the storm, but an emerging shrub could be destroyed anytime.

She did not manage to say it, as the son was granted to her by God. He had a special power. It seemed like nothing became difficult in front of him.

Time flew by, and it had been nine years since Xi Liang City’s last rebellion movement. During the past nine years, one tenth of the residents had cultivated Shenzu Scripture.

Most importantly, there was a holy water in the residence of the city master. Once someone consumed it, the cultivation speed could be raised to five to ten times.

With the popularity of Shenzu Scripture, these people entered another world. They were stronger than men, and their minds were clear. The traders felt it the most. They could sense the similarity between them and the residents of Yin Shang, which was one of the Qi cultivators.

Compared to Yin Shang, the sum of Qi of Xi Liang City added up was not even one hundredth of Yin Shang’s capital, Chao Ge. However, it was indeed rare for such a desolate land to have that many residents with Qi.

The traders were knowledgeable, and hence they just treated it as something absurd, as there were some countries in the world where a newborn baby could fight with tigers; or like the more impressive nobles of Da Xia who could even carry a mountain on their back and chase after the moon once they were adult and were nominated to be a baron.

Compared to these, Xi Liang City was not worth mentioning.

Shen Lian stood on Mount Jieyang, and behind him there was a tree of peach blossoms.

It had been nine years. He grew well and he did not look like a kid of nine-year-old. He looked more like he was thirteen or fourteen. He was wearing a light blue robe, and it was flickering under the night breeze. The sunset fell on him, and made him look like an illusion.

Perhaps because he inherited Chen Qing’s face, and hence his features were even more delicate and elegant than his previous life. His face was impeccable.

After nine years, the peach tree finally blossomed. Shen Lian by now had obtained about one tenth of his Primordial spirit from his previous life.

Perhaps it was not appropriate to say obtain, but to say the power was recognized.

Xi Liang City kept expanding, and finally it made its first strong opposition, the stet of Da Xi. It was on the west of Xi Liang City, and they were separated by Luo River.

By chance, Daoist Liu Mengde from Seven Peaches Mountain became the national advisor of the State of Da Xi.

The State of Da Xi killed a few residents of Xi Liang City, and Xi Liang City too killed a nobleman of State of Da Xi, just because he flirted with Xi Liang City’s woman.

In other countries, women had a lower position. To some extent they were no treated as human in some of the worse countries, but in Xi Liang City, women held the power.

As the nobleman was killed just because of that, the state of Da Xi was angry.

They could not imagine that a nobleman could be killed just because he killed a commoner.

The state of Da Xi wanted to teach Xi Liang City a lesson about power, but the national advisor stopped them.

The national advisor only told the reason to the monarch of state of Da Xi. The monarch then assigned the national advisor to visit Xi Liang City.

The national advisor Liu Mengde did not head to Xi Liang City, but instead he visited Mount Jieyang under an invitation. He wanted to meet Shen Lian for a long time. Perhaps this was a good opportunity.

By the time the last ray of sunset went away, Liu Mengde was once again on Mount Jieyang. The moon rose from the east, and it was full moon today. What a great time.

The sun set, but the world did not fall entirely into darkness. The round moon was showing off its existence, and the stars were dim compared to it. There were only a few stars which were trying to steal the limelight from the moon, but they were not successful.

Liu Mengde never saw such a deep gaze, which was unique to cultivators. It was indescribable, but once one saw it, one would get it.

Not even his master had this gaze, but it appeared on a teen who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen.

Shen Lian smiled, “You planted the peach tree last time, and today it blooms. You get to see me, and the flowers. How great.”

Liu Mengde bowed, “I didn’t know you’re a reincarnation of a connoisseur. Please tell me about it, perhaps we have some history in the past.”
