Chapter 373 Taoist!
At this moment, Xu Ping'an knew very well that the immortals in the sky were discussing how to deal with him.
How could he just sit there and wait for death?
Therefore, the more times like this, the less burden Xu Ping'an felt, because he was the future king of the world, and those immortals were nothing more than that in his eyes.
Ever since Xu Ping'an and his companions fought with the immortals on the dome of Tai'an City last time, this area has become a forbidden area in the eyes of all, no matter if they are immortals or martial arts geniuses in the world.
In addition, a "White Jade Capital" reaching into the sky has been built here, which gives people a feeling of being out of reach.
In Tai'an City.
At this moment, people are coming and going all night long, and there seems to be no curfew on the streets.
It is bustling everywhere. Compared with the previous Tai'an City, it is like one is on the ground and the other is in the sky. The current Tai'an City no longer belongs to any era, but has ushered in a new era.
Tai'an City did not decline because of the last devastating battle between immortals. Instead, it became more prosperous after the battle between immortals.
This really surprised many people.
Inside Tai'an City.
The four most famous restaurants now are Zhenxiu Restaurant, Wanbao Restaurant, Tianxia Restaurant and Baiyu Restaurant.
Among them, Baiyu Tower is the most famous.
Because it is as famous as "Bai Yujing", one of the main buildings in Tai'an City, many people would visit it and even spend a lot of money there, which happened from time to time.
The distinguished guests who appeared inside were all people of status and elegant conversation.
At this moment.
The place was already packed with guests, and it was bustling with activity, with people toasting to each other.
But inside, apart from some casual conversation, there was no dancing and no singing girls, which was really unbelievable.
Inside the restaurant, amidst the hustle and bustle, some were discussing the current world.
"Why don't you guys tell me that the Prince of Beiliang hasn't ascended the throne yet?"
"Who knows?"
"I feel that this matter is not as simple as you think. After all, Xu Xiao is still alive."
"Yes! His Royal Highness wants to be the emperor, so where will Xu Xiao be placed?"
"I do have some gossip that says the King of Beiliang will not become the emperor unless he leaves Beiliang."
"Then this matter is simple. It's just that His Royal Highness becomes the emperor!"
"I don't think it's that simple. After all, the world is not stable right now, and the Northern Mang is eyeing us covetously. I guess there will be some obstacles. After all, we are all mortals, and we can't see many things. It's normal."
"I think so too, but in my opinion, the current Xu Ping'an is probably the same as the previous Xu Ping'an. He can already rule the world, and even take over the world."
"..."
Everyone is now thinking about the future direction of this world. After all, this also involves their interests.
Many people have already invested a lot of money in Tai'an City.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Beiliang does not proclaim himself emperor, then their bet may be in vain.
Even losing all your money.
The thought of this.
Many people hope that Xu Ping'an can become emperor as soon as possible and give them peace of mind.
Thus.
Many problems will also be solved.
One of them said:
"I'll see! We still can't rush this matter. After all, there are still people who don't want to see His Royal Highness Xu Ping'an, the Prince of Beiliang, become the emperor."
"Keep your voice down," one of them made a gesture to silence them, and warned them, "Don't talk nonsense. It has been passed down from above that future emperors will no longer be called Son of Heaven!"
As soon as these words came out.
Suddenly everyone stared at that person, but they had no way to refute because this person was a child of a noble family.
It’s not obvious, but among the children of aristocratic families, even many of the great aristocratic families of the previous dynasty are nothing but ants in front of their family.
The man continued, "You'd better not discuss this matter, because the people above will naturally make their own decision."
"No matter what we do, we can't guess what they are thinking."
"Also, as for the future direction of the dynasty, I'm afraid someone is also discussing it."
As soon as these words came out.
There was another moment of silence.
These people in Tai'an City are all well-connected people, so what they say is naturally well-founded.
And at this time.
A boy and a girl in Taoist robes and two in green were also in the restaurant and heard everyone's discussions.
The girl in green snorted coldly.
"Humph! What's wrong with this world? Don't they even care about the gods in heaven?"
"I think Xu Ping'an is the leader of this blasphemy."
"Master, you don't care about it?"
The Taoist priest continued to drink the wine in his glass and said:
“I didn’t expect that!”
"The world has changed, and this wine has become mellower. No one dares to add water to it. It's like the nectar from heaven!"
"This is the first time I've drunk wine like this in the world."
The girl who just spoke at this time was a little depressed and continued to speak:
"Master..."
Before the girl finished speaking, the Taoist continued to mutter to himself:
"Hmm... not bad, not bad, not bad!"
"He didn't just keep the luck to himself. Instead, he gradually released it outwards."
"This guy... isn't he afraid that without this luck, he will no longer be able to fight against those immortals in the sky?"
The young man in blue also spoke.
"Master, we have traveled all over the world and seen a lot of things. Should we go back and report?"
The Taoist looked back at the young man in green and snorted a few words: "What do I want to do? Do I need you to carry the box?"
The young man in green was startled, and suddenly felt horrified. He begged for mercy from the Taoist priest:
"Please spare my life, Master!"
The Taoist frowned and said calmly:
"When did I want to kill you? What on earth do you want to do? Why are you talking so strangely? Tell me, have you come into contact with those people in the sky?"
The young man in blue was startled.
The young girl in green also pleaded for the young boy in green, "Master!"
"Please forgive me, brother."
"How dare he come into contact with the immortals in the sky! You have warned us not to have any contact with the immortals in the sky!"
"I, we will all abide by your instructions and will never disobey you!"
The Taoist glanced at the two of them, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:
"I picked you two up on the road. I could abandon you, but I hate the immortals in the sky the most. If you use the skills I taught you to contact the immortals in the sky..."
He didn't finish his words, but his face turned cold.
The young girls and boys were frightened.
At this moment, both of them were very clear.
The Taoist priest in front of him is not an ordinary Taoist priest, but an overseas Taoist who has killed hundreds of immortals in the sky alone.
Therefore, in the hearts of the two, this master is more powerful than the immortals in the sky.
The two are brother and sister.
The young man in blue is the older brother, and the young girl in blue is the younger sister.
The two were homeless and nearly died during one of their begging trips. Fortunately, they were rescued by a Taoist priest who passed by and took them in as his disciples.
Therefore, the two were very grateful to the Taoist priest, who also taught them many methods of cultivation.
The Taoist glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey!"
"I adopted you two. You've been with me for several years, right?"
"What are you thinking? Even if you stick your butts out, I can tell clearly."
"I advise you not to always think about going to heaven. It is not heaven, but a grave."
As he said this, the Taoist priest stared at the young man in green.
The latter was also timid, as if he was very afraid of this Taoist priest.
The Taoist waved his hand.
"You two should go to your room and rest. I want to drink here quietly for a while."
The young man in green wanted to say something, but was pulled by the girl in green and walked quickly towards the wing room.
The young man in blue sat on the chair, with a stubborn look on his face, and said angrily:
"I'm just very angry. What happened to our master? Why did he suddenly lose his spirit?"
"He was able to kill the immortal in the sky, and now the immortal in the sky invites him to go to the sky and promises him a high position. Why doesn't he agree?"
"This is a great opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have it again."
The girl in blue reminded:
"Be careful!"
"Don't you know what kind of temper our master has? What he can't stand the most are those high-handed immortals and those high-handed guys who don't treat people as human beings."
"Have you forgotten what happened to us before?"
The young man in blue snorted coldly.
"Of course I know that. That's why we need to look for opportunities to soar to the top instead of staying at the bottom."
"But our Master's current breath seems to be insufficient."
"I thought, we can't do this, otherwise..."
The girl in blue said coldly:
"Shut up!"
"Brother, who are you? I didn't think there was anything wrong with you before, but how did you become like this? I can't quite figure it out."
"What do you want? Our master treats us well."
"You can't become an ungrateful person, and I don't want you to become one."
Hearing this, the young man in blue seemed to be silent for a long time...
He still stared at the girl in blue with great earnestness, muttering:
"I am who I am, how can I be anyone else?"
The girl in blue stared at the boy in blue, frowned and asked:
"So you betrayed your master?"
"I didn't!" the young man in blue said hurriedly:
"Master is Master, and I am me, but I will not betray our Master."
"I just hope he can support me and not stay in the human world. It won't do her any good. I don't want him to be targeted by those people."
The girl in blue frowned and asked:
"So, there is no chance now?"
"Or, have you already..."
The young man in blue grinned at the girl and said:
"Don't worry! Brother naturally has his own plans. With your brother's current strength, even those people in the sky dare not underestimate me."
The girl in blue seemed to have thought of something, and said with emotion:
"Brother! You should leave now."
"I think Master will not blame me, nor will he blame you."
"You go now."
The young man in blue was stunned.
He stared at the girl and said with a choked voice:
"I hope you can come with me."
"I won't leave!" the green-clothed girl said, "I want to stay by Master's side. I will follow him no matter what decision he makes."
The young man in blue wanted to say something but stopped himself.
The girl in blue sighed and said:
"Master asked me to come here to send you away."
"He won't make things difficult for you, nor for me. In his words, everyone has their own destiny and path, and you have your own path to follow."
"He is only your master and cannot make decisions for you."
The young man in blue was startled, staring at the girl curiously, and asked, "Master, did he really say that?"
The girl in blue nodded.
The young man in blue picked up the package and walked out of the wing room.
The two parted here.
-----------------
"gone?"
When the girl in green returned to the table, the Taoist priest who was drinking looked at her, smiled, and said:
"Just go if you want to. I was surprised that you didn't follow him."
The girl in green looked at the Taoist priest worriedly, and asked with some worry in her voice:
"Master, have you really abandoned my brother?"
"He actually couldn't bear to leave you, and didn't want to see you living in such a miserable state in the world. He wanted you to go somewhere farther away and do greater things."
The Taoist smiled but said nothing.
a long time……
The Taoist priest took a few more sips of wine, then looked at the girl in green with interest and asked, "Why don't you leave with us?"
The girl in blue shook her head:
"I want to follow Master. Besides, I feel very happy now."
"Compared to the past, I think my life now is pretty good."
"I don't want to leave."
The Taoist smiled but said nothing.
The girl in green was also feeling depressed at this moment. After all, it was her brother who left, which was something she didn't want to see. However, everyone has his or her own path to walk, which was the wise saying of her master.
At this time, Xu Ping'an and Zhang Liang were standing on the top of "Bai Yujing". They did not go to check the situation in the sky at the first time, but stood on the top of Bai Yujing, overlooking the Tai'an City below.
Zhang Liang had a smile on his face:
"I see that Tai'an City is now full of talented people. There are capable people everywhere, all looking for opportunities."
"There are several powerful auras among them. I wonder if Your Highness is interested?"
"If they are interested, I can ask them to come."
Xu Pingan shook his head and said:
"It's not the right time yet, let them wait a little longer."
"Nowadays, you can't tell what some people are thinking. Given enough time, these people will always be shaken."
"Time reveals a person's true character!" Zhang Liang said with a smile, "But aren't you afraid that someone among them might suddenly change their mind because they can't wait?"
Xu Pingan grinned, stared at Zhang Liang, and asked:
"Is it necessary to keep such a person?"
Zhang Liang laughed.
The two now have a scale in their hearts and a clear direction.
Zhang Liang chuckled and looked into the distance, his mind wandering, but he said:
"Don't worry, when this matter is over, I will go to the inner city in person to meet this mysterious Taoist priest and have a heart-to-heart talk with him."
Xu Ping'an also had a smile on his face at this moment, and nodded:
"So good!"
"We don't need to say anything more to him."
"Tell him there are two choices: either stay or leave."
Zhang Liang laughed and said:
"Your Highness! I think this matter may not be that simple!"
"He let his apprentice go. I always feel that something is wrong. Was he doing it on purpose?"
"Is there some conspiracy involved?"
Xu Ping'an did not speculate rashly, but glanced at Zhang Liang in front of him, pouted his lips slightly, and said calmly:
"Only after you meet him can you know the answer to this matter."
"I don't speculate."
"Let's first listen to these immortals in the sky."
"What are they plotting?"
