Chapter 55: Vast as a Valley, Walking to Guandu in Wind and Rain



Chen Kuang had never seen Shen Xingzhu's true face beneath the veil, but he was deeply impressed by her eyes.

Just with that pair of beautiful eyes, Shen Xingzhu is enough to cool the bright moon and chill the spring breeze.

Once you see it, you can never forget it.

However, when these eyes appeared on a completely different person, they lost their divine awe and compassion, and it naturally took some time to recognize them.

Chen Kuang found it a little unbelievable.

They both have the surname Chen, and they both have such similar, almost identical eyes...

This Shen Meinan must have a close relationship with Shen Xingzhu.

Most likely, they are two sisters!

But... this is too bizarre.

The personalities of these two people are almost completely opposite.

Judging from Shen Meinan's performance just now, she has almost no scheming, and her personality can be described as innocent and naive.

If they were sisters, the difference in their personalities would be too great.

But this is not the most bizarre thing. Shen Xingzhu and Shen Meinan seem to have a big age gap. It is normal for them to have different personalities given their different environments.

The weirdest thing is, among all the people present, no one seemed to know...

They were not unknown people, but after discussing Shen Xingzhu for a long time, no one mentioned Shen Meinan who was right next to them.

If their relationship were made public, then no matter what, it would at least be mentioned once or twice, or there would be a change in expression.

But they really didn't mention it at all.

Shen Xingzhu...hid the relationship between the two.

Chen Kuang's eyes flashed.

He vaguely felt why Wensi had sent him to this ship.

Regardless of the identities of the people in front of him, Shen Meinan, who was suspected to be Shen Xingzhu's sister, was valuable enough.

If they want to hide it, there must be some shameful reason.

What Chen Kuang needed was something he could use to hold Shen Xingzhu accountable, and the more the better...

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Shen Meinan asked, "Why are you silent?"

Chen Kuang remained calm: "I was thinking that you should be quite good-looking too."

"Oh...thank you."

Shen Meinan thought about how he had just praised a blind man for his good looks, and how the man couldn't see but still agreed with him. He suddenly felt a little guilty, blinked his eyes, and quickly changed the subject.

"Well... now that we're done, what's your name?"

Chen Kuang thought for a moment and said:

"You can just call me...Ruogu."

He is honest and simple, and vast as a valley.

In this world, families with a little status also have the tradition of giving people a name. Chen Kuang is almost the age of twenty, so he chose a name for himself.

Now is not the time to get close to Shen Meinan, so let's deal with the people in front of me first.

Chen Kuang continued, "I am just a casual cultivator, without any sect or school, and my cultivation level is only at the Awakening Stage. To be honest, I am really surprised to be invited by Brother Lin."

"How can we judge friendships based on our cultivation level? It should be mutually beneficial and enjoyable."

Lin Eryou shook his head and raised his glass:

"When I was studying at Liberty Hill, my teacher taught me the six arts: ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics, and said this was the way of a gentleman."

"Unfortunately, I was too playful at the time and only wanted to go to the back mountain to see the peach blossoms. I dozed off in class and slipped away as soon as the get out of class was over. I didn't learn a single thing the teacher taught me."

He smiled awkwardly, then poured himself a drink and said confidently:

"However, even though I haven't learned it yet, I definitely have no problem appreciating it!"

Lin Eryou became interested when he mentioned this, and looked at Chen Kuang with shining eyes and said:

"Ruogu, the song you just sang was truly excellent. I once heard the female Pavilion Master sing a long and sad song in Tianyin Pavilion, which made people weep. Ruogu's song can be compared to it."

He waved his fan in confusion. "But the zither used by the female Pavilion Master at that time clearly had fifty strings. How come your zither, Ruogu, only has seven?"

"Could you please enlighten me, Ruogu?"

“…”

Chen Kuang was silent for a while, then he supported the dragon gum in his arms and said softly, "This is a zither."

"The one with fifty strings is a harp."

Lin Eryou's confident expression suddenly froze.

“Hahahahahaha…”

Zhou Yanwei laughed so hard he fell backwards, and said to Chen Kuang, "Don't be fooled by this guy's serious appearance. Although he studied under Ziyoushan, that master is a man of all trades and no one is too narrow in his teaching."

"Regardless of talent, race, or family background, as long as you plant a peach tree on Freedom Mountain as a stipend, you can become his disciple."

"Our eldest son Lin, who came from the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce, which specializes in selling magical treasures, was forcibly sent to Freedom Mountain for reform by his family."

Well, it turns out he’s a rich second-generation poor student.

Chen Kuang twitched his lips.

The magical treasure is a rare commodity among practitioners. Ordinary people cannot get it. It can be said that it is priceless.

Lin Eryou's family actually runs a business of magical treasures.

High-end game.

No wonder there is such a building ship...

Thinking of this, Chen Kuang asked, "I heard a lot of noise on the way here. Does it seem like there are still quite a few passengers on this boat?"

Lin Eryou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is Ruogu worried about the different destinations?"

"Um."

Chen Kuang nodded:

"I have some things to do later, so I'm afraid I can't bother you for too long. If the ship can't dock before tomorrow, please give me a raft, Brother Lin."

Lin Eryou thought there was nothing wrong with revealing it, so he said, "Although this boat belongs to my family, it is actually temporarily rented by Fengyu Tower. They want to go to Guandukou to pick someone up, and it should arrive tonight."
