After listening to his subordinatesâ words, Bright Moon couldnât help but smile, though his tone was skeptical, he thought to himself, âSo, thatâs how it is.â
No wonder âChen Quanâ dared to disrespect him back then. It turns out he had nothing to worry about now. After all, when Chen Mansion in the Upper City was destroyed, it was natural for him to risk everything to get on the good side of Left Envoy and seek justice.
Moreover, under those circumstances, had he not been calm and something really happened to him, Left Envoy Qingfeng might have used the âChen Quanâ case as an example for his subordinates, rewarding the Chen family with more benefits beyond imagination.
Itâs a pity that âChen Quanâ himself didnât make any gains during the Heaven and Earth Spine event.
The Chen Family Mansion had just been built when it experienced such a catastrophe. The fact that no heart demons were bom could already be considered fortunate.
Alright, letâs not bring this up anymore, it makes me seem petty. But this resentment is the most difficult to endure.
Since thatâs the case, have someone keep an eye on him. Donât let him wake up from his pain. Since he chose to degenerate, then he shouldnât think of making a comeback. Just let him continue his descent honestly.â
âYes, I understand.â
One year later.
At this time, not many people paid attention to âChen Quanâ anymore. Almost everyone in Immortal City knew about someone who chose to degenerate because they couldnât have offspring due to their solidified essence.
Of course, no one dared to speak about this in front of him. After all, Chen Quan was still a Middle Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch. Wouldnât offending him be equivalent to seeking death?
Even those with the same or higher realm wouldnât dare to offend him easily. He could now be referred to as the breadwinner of his entire family, and such people should never be provoked.
Since âChen Quanâ had no more concerns, if he were to be agitated and take action, he would naturally do it without restraint. Only a fool would provoke him.
So over the past year, âChen Quanâ lived a carefree life. In name, he was still the Deputy Commander of the Cleaning Department, but he had never visited the Cleaning Department again.
Under these circumstances, the Left Envoy did not make things difficult for him. After all, Chen Quan used to be his most loyal dog at the core.
Now heâs just indulging in self-destruction, and the Left Envoy hasnât lost anything either. Why would the Left Envoy give others the chance to criticize him?
He even acted perfectly, taking great care of âChen Quan.â Even though Liang Sheng had indulged in self-degeneration, the Left Envoy still took care of him with extra consideration.
This situation made the subordinates of the Foreign Affairs Mansion even more loyal to the Left Envoy. For now, âChen Quanâ had become a living example for them.
As long as youâre loyal, without any hidden agenda, and perform your duties to the best of your abilities, even if you make minor mistakes, there wonât be any punishment.
Under such circumstances, who in the Foreign Affairs Mansion wouldnât be loyal to the Left Envoy? However, no one knew that at this time, Liang Sheng was having an exceptionally comfortable life.
He only needed to âmuddle throughâ for another two thousand years, and he could completely free himself.
By that time, he would surely have made another breakthrough, and perhaps no one in Longevity Immortal City would have the strength to threaten him.
Even the Longevity City Lord wouldnât be able to do that.
In that case, whatâs wrong with being a waste for two thousand years? Having strength while being a waste would mean a life of supreme freedom.
Now within Immortal City, almost everyone from the inner and outer mansions to the Left and Right Envoys regarded him as an insignificant person.
His acting skills ultimately deceived everyone, but who within Immortal City could waste their time like him?
Cultivating is all about grasping every second. In this regard, who would suspect his playacting? After all, he hasnât seriously cultivated for a whole year.
Dao Valley Pavilion.
After drinking up, Liang Sheng staggered out of the door. The shopkeeper personally escorted him out. As soon as he returned, he slapped the servant in the face.
Just now, the servant had murmured under his breath, âThis drunkard seems really beyond redemptionâŠâ
No wonder the servant would say that. In the past year, Chen Quan had been in a drunken state every day. Where was the grace of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?
âLittle Four, this is the last time Iâm hitting you. If I hear you talking nonsense again, you can leave Dao Valley Pavilion.â
âMaster, please donât be angry. I know I was wrong. I promise I wonât talk nonsense again.â
The shopkeeper didnât speak again and returned directly to the counter. But, catching a glimpse of Liang Sheng leaving from the corner of his eye, he couldnât help but shake his head.
A year ago, âChen Quanâ was still full of vigor, winning against the Right Envoy in an unexpected way and becoming famous for a while.
Now he had become a drunkard. If it wasnât for the fact that he was a Nascent Soul True Monarch and that the Left Envoy still held on to old affections, things would be even more miserable for him.
But this also showed the rules of Immortal City.
Strength is the foundation.
Let âChen Quanâ try being an ordinary Golden Core Daoist. The Left Envoy wouldnât even care, and where would he find such a carefree life?
When Chen Quan returned to his mansion, he went straight to his bed. But at this moment, he didnât have a trace of drunkenness left.
He hadnât expected that there would be so many complicated situations in Immortal City, even the business of Giving Bodhisattva required some kind of background to be successful.
Over the past year, Liang Sheng appeared to be idle and degenerated, but in fact, he was observing everything with a critical eye. He saw many things clearer than others.
Perhaps it was because he became an âoutsiderâ that he could see things more clearly. After all, who in Immortal City would care about a drunkard that lived in a world of dreams?
Just like the businesses of Giving Bodhisattva, the Left and Right Envoysâ backgrounds were more or less involved behind them. It seemed that these red light districts had all become the spy network of the Left and Right Envoys..
