However, as much as he found it both funny and sad, Luo Shenbo couldn't really stand by and watch Shen Qian be beaten to death in front of him. He could only shake his head helplessly and then flick his sleeve.

A strong gust of wind swept across the high platform, causing everyone who tried to get close to the sinkhole to stagger.

Shen Qian then called out to Qu Bai, who pulled Feng Manlin along, and the three of them flew into the air and arrived behind Luo Shenbo.

"Shameless scoundrel!"

"You bastard!"

Seeing that Shen Qian had gone directly to Luo Shenbo for help after his mockery, and that no one could do anything about him, everyone started cursing.

"You little rascal..."

Luo Shenbo extended her slender fingers and tapped Shenqian's forehead, scolding him playfully.

Shen Qian simply scratched his head and smiled.

Lord Luoshen and Elder Gao were from the same faction of nobles. Moreover, judging from the observation on the day before the sinking, Lord Luoshen and Elder Gao were quite close. Of course, the other party would not stand by and watch him die.

...Well, who knows what other gossip might exist between the two of them.

"Lord Luoshen, how can you openly favor Shen Qian?"

"Yes, Lord Luoshen, please uphold justice for us!"

Many young martial artists below couldn't help but plead.

"As Shen Qian said, this blessing of the golden list is beyond his control, and he cannot be blamed for this."

Luo Shenbo shook his head and said indifferently, "By chance and fate, fortune and misfortune are predetermined. As a martial artist, how can one complain about heaven and others?"

After saying this, Luo Shenbo even used some kind of spiritual power, as if he had been enlightened, and many people immediately calmed down from their previous indignation.

But obviously, Luo Shenbo couldn't wake everyone up.

Perhaps seeing that Luo Shenbo wouldn't budge, someone immediately turned their gaze to another figure high in the sky who seemed to still be in a daze.

"Senior Tianji Ke, do you also agree with this view?"

"That's right, Lord Tianjike, you created this Nine Heavens Ranking to benefit the younger generation, but now all the benefits have gone to Shen Qian. What kind of nonsense is this?"

"Senior Tianji Ke, please uphold justice!"

Many people spoke up.

The commotion finally woke the old man who had been lost in thought for a long time.

Tianji Ke gave Chen Qian a deep look, then suddenly murmured, "Interesting, heh, really interesting..."

After finishing his rambling, he suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly lost in thought.

His smile was unusually strange, and gradually, the laughter grew louder and louder.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amidst the bewildered expressions of the crowd, the Heavenly Mystery Guest laughed and then vanished into the sky.

They...they left?

No one could understand why Tianji Ke was laughing, but his departure was completely unexpected.

Even the person in charge had abandoned the matter, and Shen Qian was protected by Luo Shenbo. For a moment, the person who was still unwilling to accept the situation was at a loss.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

"Let's end the banquet here for today. If anyone is still in the mood, please stay and continue drinking."

Luo Shenbo smiled faintly and said a few polite words. Then, with a wave of his hand, he and the other three disappeared into the air.

Lamentations filled the manor, but everyone knew that it was impossible to target Shen Qian today.

"Gentlemen, what's the rush?"

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up: "Don't forget, there's still the battle for the Nine Heavens..."

A single word awakened me from my dream.

Many people realized it instantly.

"Indeed, there's still the battle for the Nine Heavens!"

“That’s right. Unless Shen Qian withdraws from this situation, we might still have a chance. As long as that golden light can be stripped away, Shen Qian will be the one everyone loses…”

Many people have had their hopes rekindled.

Even on the high platform, many people's eyes were darting around.

Without a doubt, when it comes to the battle for the Nine Heavens, Shen Qian will be the most delicious piece of meat!

"Hey, this battle for the Nine Heavens is really interesting..."

Amid the chaos, someone murmured in a low voice.

...

Shen Qian glanced at the Nine Heavens Ranking, which still hung high in the sky outside the window, but was much dimmer than before, then shook his head and looked away.

He was curious about what the system had done at that time, but this was clearly not the time to check.

He was currently inside the residence of the God of Luo.

Qu Bai and Feng Manlin had already been sent out of the manor by Luo Shenbo, leaving him alone. It was likely that Luo Shenbo had something to say to him.

As it happens, Shen Qian also had a lot of questions.

"Master Shen, please have a drink."

A voice called out from behind. Chen Qian turned around and saw a smiling middle-aged man placing a cup of tea he had just brewed on the table.

The term "husband" is somewhat inappropriate, but Shen Qian has gotten used to it.

After he learned that the society of modern martial artists was actually filled with people influenced by various cultures, he stopped worrying about these things.

For example, Shi Dingyan speaks in a very refined and classical style, but Lao Liu just keeps saying "Holy crap"...

Of course, it could also be related to Lao Liu's level of education.

The handsome middle-aged man before me is one of the two husbands of Luo Shenbo.

However, after sensing the other party's strength just now, it seems that their cultivation level is not very high, perhaps not even at the Mountain and Sea realm. I wonder what their strengths are that made Luo Shenbo take a liking to them.

While Shen Qian was lost in thought, Luo Shenbo's figure reappeared in the living room.

"You can go out now."

Luo Shenbo first greeted her husband, and only after the middle-aged man left did she let Shen Qian sit down.
