Chapter 159: The Hundred Marquises' Tea Party!

  "You're so boring."

  Qin Zheng stepped forward and walked away, completely ignoring Cheng Da.

  He is not even qualified for a single battle in terms of Qin politics. It's meaningless to waste words on such a person.

  "Where did this little brat come from, so arrogant." Cheng Da coldly smiled and was about to block Qin Zheng's path.

  Qin Zheng's eyes turned cold and he was about to drive them away.

  Tang Ning'er hastily shouted: "Cheng Da, what are you trying to do? This is Ban Yue Lou, where martial fighting is prohibited."

  "Consider yourself lucky." Cheng Da snorted, no longer provoking Qin Zheng, and instead turned to look at Tang Ning'er, his voice cold and menacing. "Do you see these people beside me? They're all here for the Baihou Tea Gathering, and they all support me becoming the new Duke of Ningyuan. You'd better not harbor any illusions about keeping your title, or else... hmmph, tonight's Baihou Tea Gathering will make you regret making this decision."

  "I will never back down." Tong Ning Er said angrily.

  "Alright, then there will be a good show tonight." Cheng Da laughed and left.

  Those little princes also left with a smile, convinced that Tang Ning would be unlucky.

  Qin Zheng turned his head and glanced at the backs of Cheng Da and others, shaking his head, "Boring."

  Tang Ning'er couldn't help but smile wryly. In Qin Zheng's eyes, Cheng Da and the others were like three-year-old children, a boring and uninteresting display. But to her, it was an enormous pressure, that's the difference.

  Fortunately, Qin Zheng stepped forward, and Tang Ning still had confidence in Qin Zheng.

  They rushed straight to the top floor.

  Arriving at the top floor, there was only one person here, standing by the window and looking outside.

  "Lu brother."

  Qin Zheng immediately saw that this person was none other than Lu Tianlang, the Crown Prince of the Datong Empire.

  He suddenly realized why everyone was going downstairs when he went upstairs, including Cheng Da and other young masters, it turned out that Lu Tianlang was here.

  "It's been more than half a year since we last met, and Brother Qin is even more impressive than before!" Lu Tianlang said with a smile.

  "Let's just drop these pleasantries," said Qin Zheng.

  Lu Tianlang burst out laughing upon hearing this, "Talking to Brother Qin is always so refreshing." He pointed outside the window, "Brother Qin, come take a look at this view. How is it?"

  Qin Zheng walked over.

  Standing beside and appreciating the outside view.

  Yu Xiu Xin's expression was calm and tranquil, without her usual clever and playful demeanor. She was currently undergoing a special kind of intuition, searching for the different feeling that Banyue Lou brought.

  Only Tang Ning'er was a bit awkward, she saw Lu Tianlang and wanted to go over to pay her respects, but when she saw that Lu Tianlang didn't notice her, she felt it wasn't convenient to go over, so she stood at the staircase entrance, not moving.

  Looking out through the window.

  It was still before noon, and the sun was shining brightly, with a clear sky.

  But standing inside the Moon Accompanying Building, one would find that in the azure sky above, apart from the scorching sun, there is also a crescent moon. Clearly, it's impossible to see this crescent moon outside the building, yet it can be seen from the rooftop of the Moon Accompanying Building. Although the crescent moon is far less dazzling than the scorching sun, its gentle light shines down and covers the entire building, still evoking a sense of serenity like a lonely moon hanging in the sky.

  Qin Zheng looked at the crescent moon and was moved in his heart, so he used the Douhu stance to apply it to both of his eyes.

  Sharp eyes like a tiger's.

  Under such observation, it seems that the crescent moon contains infinite mystery, but when looking closely and trying to understand, there is no clue.

  Qin Zheng didn't overly obsess over comprehending the profound meaning on the remaining moon, this kind of thing, what's emphasized is a single word "enlightenment", it's not that you can gain something by desperately exploring, if so, then countless people would have already thoroughly grasped it, and there wouldn't be any mystery to speak of.

  He lowered his head and looked down, with the entire Banyue Mountain Villa coming into view.

  From afar, the Companion Moon Manor resembles a crescent moon.

  "The scenery is great, but that crescent moon is even more captivating." said Qin Zheng.

  "Brother Qin, have you gained some insight?" Lu Tianlang asked.

  Qin Zheng shook his head, "Not a single bit of insight."

  Lu Tianlang was slightly stunned, "I thought that with Qin brother's talent, he could come up with some insight."

  "Lu brother overestimates me, this contains a profound martial arts mystery, not everyone can comprehend the subtlety within. In my opinion, unless it's someone similar to Wu Mi or those who have experienced similar residual moon sensations, they might truly grasp the profound meaning hidden in Residual Moon." Qin Zheng said with a smile, his eyes glanced at Yu Xiu Xin, seeing her still in an unusual state of resonance, and his heart stirred - perhaps Yu Xiu Xin could gain some insight, it's not impossible.

  "Brother Qin is too humble, with Brother Qin's growth rate, I firmly believe that if Brother Qin has a few more epiphanies, he will definitely be able to grasp the profound meaning of the Remaining Moon, and if Brother Qin is willing, I can help him resolve the problem of the Three Mountains Marquis, so that Brother Qin can focus on comprehending the Remaining Moon's profound meaning." Lu Tianlang said.

  "Thank you, Lu brother," Qin Zheng said. "The matter of the Third Mountain Marquis is just a small thing, not worth worrying about. I'm attending the Hundred Marquises' Withered Flower Banquet also to take this opportunity to gather some information."

  Lu Tianlang immediately took out a token, "Since Brother Qin is temporarily staying in the Imperial Capital, for your convenience, I had someone create a royal token for you."

  Qin Zheng didn't stand on ceremony either, and there was this token that could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

  The token is something that only the king can possess, with a special mark of the Da Tong imperial family on it, indicating that the token is genuine. On one side of the token are the two characters "Tiger King".

  "Brother Qin is known as the Tiger King, so my father, the Emperor, took this opportunity to confer upon Brother Qin the title of Tiger King of our Great Tong Empire, with a status equivalent to that of the several princes of the empire." said Lu Tianlang.

  "With this token, I think it will be much more convenient for me to get things done." Qin Zheng smiled and said.

  Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Qin Zheng became the second most powerful man in the empire, next to the Emperor himself. Tang Ning'er was so envious that she almost fainted. Among the hundred marquises, how many of them wanted to become a prince but couldn't? Qin Zheng was really lucky, with others rushing to curry favor with him.

  "You had Nan Mingjun bring me the letter, I've read it and instructed to search for him. As long as he exists within the Imperial City of Da Tong, there will definitely be news within three days." Lu Tianlang said.

  Qin Zheng thought to himself that the intelligence network of the Da Tong imperial family within the capital was quite impressive, otherwise they wouldn't dare speak with such confidence.

  He naturally expressed his gratitude to Lu Tianlang.

  The two of them chatted for a long time before Lu Tianlang left. After all, his identity was not ordinary and it wasn't suitable for him to stay outside for too long.

  Before leaving, Lu Tianlang told Qin Zheng that the Bayue Mountain Villa was closed and would no longer be open to visitors. He gave it to Qin Zheng as a temporary residence in Datong Imperial City, and there were also some people arranged by Lu Tianlang himself to serve inside the villa.

  This move was even more shocking to Tang Ning'er, who didn't speak for half a day. The Companion Moon Mountain Villa was one of the most famous scenic spots in Datong Imperial City, with considerable daily income, yet it was given away just like that. This was probably the charm of power.

  Qin Zheng was also moved by Lu Tianlang's enthusiasm and agreed to live here.

  He agreed because he found that Bayue Building was of great help to Yuxiu Xiang.

  It was just Lu Tianlang leaving, Yu Xiuxian didn't have any reaction, still standing there quietly, not knowing what to think, Qin Zheng also didn't go disturb her.

  He let Tangning do as she pleased and went to the window himself to gaze at the remaining moonlight, hoping to gain some insight.

  Tang Ning'er felt bored, so she wandered alone in the mountain villa, still lamenting Qin Zheng's situation. With real power, being enfeoffed as a king didn't require her to exert herself; others took the initiative to offer it to her. This shocked her too much and for the first time made Tang Ning'er feel an urge to cultivate.

  The profound meaning of the remaining moon is unpredictable, and Qin Zheng also gained nothing from his meditation.

  But looking at the lingering moon, it exists at all times and will not disappear with the passage of years, nor will it fade away due to day and night, clear skies or cloudy skies, yet it moves Qin Zheng.

  "The remaining moon will last forever."

  "Slaughter God Realm Law."

  "Can these two be connected?"

  "The ultimate goal of my cultivation in the Slaughter God Realm is to outline a complete world, forming a great world's mighty power that destroys everything. Now, I can only manage to outline a little bit, whether it's mountains, rivers, cities, or people. What about the sun and moon?"

  "What effect can be achieved by writing a month character with the law of the butcher god realm?"

  Qin Zheng looked at the residual moon and went to compare it with the Butcher God Realm law. Through the existence of the residual moon, he inferred the profundity of the Butcher God Realm law and gained some good insights.

  Time flies when you're cultivating.

  The sun sets in the west and the bright moon rises in the east, it's time to attend Baihou Tea Party.

  Yu Xiuxian also woke up from her epiphany.

  The three of them left the Banyue Mountain Villa.

  The venue for the Baihou Tea Talk is Yelan Courtyard.

  When Qin Zheng and the other two entered the Ye Yan Institute, there were already many people here. The hundred marquises of the Da Tong Empire were not in the minority, and their descendants were also numerous. Each brought two or three people with them, and the participants numbered around 500 to 600. Some of those who had a good relationship with their fathers gathered together, chatting and laughing, while others came with tasks assigned by their fathers, deliberately trying to make connections with some powerful marquise children.

  Ningyuan Marquis is undoubtedly the weakest among the hundred marquises, and now everyone wants to seize his title. Therefore, when Tang Ning'er came here, no one bothered with her.

  Qin Zheng also stood in a corner, quietly watching the people on the scene, and took the opportunity to use his Tiger Fighting stance to listen to what these people were saying.

  "Ning Er, who is that beautiful sister in charge of entertaining everyone? She seems to be quite capable." Yu Xiuyin's clear voice rang out, her big black eyes looking around curiously, finding it very interesting.

  "That's Lu Lin'er, the little goddess who is in charge of this Hundred Princes' Tea Gathering. Her father is the Hun Tian God Prince." said Tang Ning'er.

  "Shenhou? Why is her father a Shenhou, what's different from other Ba Hou?" Yu Xiuxian asked.

  Tang Ning'er said: "There are differences, but all the gods and nobles, either have someone in their parents' generation who was chosen by the God Alliance when they were young, or one of them was chosen by the God Alliance. They are all people with infinite potential, who received key training from the God Alliance, and their future strength will be recognized as surpassing the Tianwu boundary. Therefore, these nobles will all receive rewards and become gods, and the Hongtian God Hou family is the strongest in the world. Even some so-called royal families may not be as powerful as them. The two uncles of this young god Lu Lin'er were chosen by the God Alliance more than 30 years ago, her brother and sister were chosen five years ago, and all four members of the family are in the God Alliance, and they have all received key training. It is said that she herself was also chosen, but she didn't go."

  At this time, Lu Lin had already received many young masters and temporarily no one came, she turned around and rushed towards Qin Zheng and others.
