Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan smiled slightly.
"My name is Wei Changxuan, and I come from the capital!"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Xiangyang's face immediately showed a look of shock.
"But... but could it be Young Master Wei Changxuan, who killed the incompetent emperor?!"
"It's down!"
After receiving an accurate answer, Gongsun Xiangyang...
His expression immediately became excited and shocked.
After all, this is a powerful expert who can easily kill second- or third-rank experts!
Thinking of this, Gongsun Xiangyang also looked on with awe.
Chapter 151 The Banquet, the Library!
Just then, light but hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Gongsun Xiu led Luo Yuheng into the room, where she saw her father, Gongsun Xiangyang, chatting intimately with Wei Changxuan.
She quickly stepped forward, slightly curtsied, and displayed the etiquette of a young lady from a prominent family.
"Father, what important matter are you and Young Master Wei discussing?"
Gongsun Xiu asked with a curious look in her eyes, her voice clear and melodious like the tinkling of a spring, adding a touch of life to the originally quiet room.
Upon hearing his daughter's question, Gongsun Xiangyang smiled warmly and explained in a calm tone:
"It's nothing special, we just wanted to express our gratitude to Young Master Wei in person."
Then he enthusiastically announced.
"We have specially arranged a grand banquet tonight to express our deepest respect to our two distinguished guests."
Wei Changxuan nodded politely, a faint smile on his lips, and replied:
"The clan leader's kindness is touching, and I certainly dare not refuse."
As night deepened, the banquet table was laden with delicacies and the aroma of fine wine filled the air, with laughter and cheerful conversation filling the entire hall.
Especially when the topic shifted to the recent battle,
Gongsun Xiangyang went on to praise Wei Changxuan's bravery and fearlessness without reservation.
People around them also joined in,
This made the usually humble and low-key young swordsman feel a little embarrassed, but his heart was warmed.
After the meal, everyone moved to a quiet and elegant courtyard to drink tea and aid digestion.
At this moment, Gongsun Xiu seized the opportunity and took the initiative to extend an invitation to Wei Changxuan:
"Young Master Wei is about to begin his secluded cultivation tomorrow, right? In that case, I have a suggestion—would you be interested in visiting our manor's library first?"
Perhaps you can find helpful information there.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly:
"This suggestion is fantastic! It would be an honor to have you guide me to study in the library."
Please lead the way; I'm eager to discover some valuable knowledge!
As the moon quietly rose, its silvery light, like a veil, spilled onto the cobblestone path, making the two figures stand out clearly.
Walking along the winding path, you are surrounded by all kinds of flowers, plants and trees that emit a faint fragrance, which makes you feel refreshed and relaxed.
Gongsun Xiu walked ahead, occasionally turning back to exchange a few words with Wei Changxuan, his tone friendly:
"The library houses countless precious books, covering many secrets of the cultivation field. I wonder which specific contents you might be interested in, young master? This will help us narrow down the scope more quickly."
After a moment's thought, Wei Changxuan frankly said, "To be honest, I'm very interested in all cultivation techniques that can improve personal strength. Especially those long-lost secret arts that I've seen recorded before..."
More in-depth information or guidance materials would be greatly appreciated!
Gongsun Xiu nodded slightly, his eyes showing encouragement.
"Understood, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you find relevant information."
After all, only when your power reaches a higher level can you protect everyone's safety more calmly and confidently.
Looking at this beautiful and considerate girl, Wei Changxuan felt a surge of unprecedented warmth deep within his heart.
"Thank you for your trust and selfless help; it means a lot to me."
Gongsun Xiu smiled slightly upon hearing this, his eyes sparkling with sincerity: "Don't be so polite, this is what we should do."
After all, we should repay you with the same care and support for everything you've done for us.
And so, on this peaceful and beautiful night, the two walked side by side forward.
Although the surrounding environment gradually became blurry, the light of friendship in our hearts grew brighter and brighter...
Finally arriving at their destination, Gongsun Xiu gently pushed open the heavy door. Inside, tall bookshelves were neatly arranged, densely filled with all kinds of books.
Chapter 152 Gongsun Xiangyang's Determination to Cling to a Powerful Backer!
Deep within the Gongsun family mansion, the library stands quietly like a wise sage.
Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Wei Changxuan found himself surrounded by rows of tall bookshelves.
The bookshelves were filled with ancient books, their worn pages exuding a unique aroma mixed with a faint scent of ink.
His slender fingers gently glided along the spine of the book, pulled out a copy, and slowly turned the pages. On the yellowed pages, the ancient characters seemed to be telling the story of the past.
He immersed himself in this ocean of knowledge, studying it word by word, leaving no corner unexplored that might contain wisdom and mystery.
…………
At this moment, in the solemn and dignified hall of the Gongsun family, a new upheaval was quietly brewing.
The hall is extremely spacious, and the high dome makes the space feel exceptionally open.
Huge stained-glass windows are set into the walls, allowing bright sunlight to pour in without reservation, illuminating the entire hall.
On the surrounding walls, portraits of past family heads are lined up one after another, their gazes deep and penetrating, as if they could see through all things in the world.
Or, with a dignified expression, exuding authority without anger, he quietly surveys everything in the hall, filling the air with a profound sense of history.
The floor, paved with smooth marble, reflects people's figures, adding to the solemnity.
Gongsun Xiangyang stood in front of the exquisite bronze mirror, carefully adjusting his attire.
He wore a magnificent robe embroidered with intricate gold patterns, every embroidery exquisite and meticulous.
The fine gold thread shimmered subtly in the sunlight, and the piping at the collar and cuffs was delicate and exquisite.
This highlights his extraordinary status and position.
Wearing a black jade crown symbolizing family honor, the warm, black jade exuded a restrained luster, further highlighting the solemnity of his face.
He turned slightly to the side, looking around, his expression revealing an undisguised excitement and anticipation.
This trip to Dragon God Castle was to visit his "old friend" Lei Zheng.
For Gongsun Xiangyang, this was by no means a simple social visit; it was backed by a far more profound plan.
His previous conversation with Wei Changxuan revealed a major piece of news that could change the fate of his family.
Wei Changxuan was tasked with finding the legendary treasures of the Great Feng Kingdom.
The important task of the "Dragon Vein," a mysterious source of power hidden between heaven and earth.
This news was like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves in Gongsun Xiangyang's heart.
In his view, if he could successfully assist in completing this arduous task,
On a personal level, one will inevitably reap rich rewards and unparalleled glory;
From a family perspective, this is undoubtedly an extremely valuable and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development.
By participating in this matter, the relationship between the Gongsun family and Wei Changxuan can be further strengthened.
After all, he was a top-tier, powerful figure in the Great Feng Dynasty.
Not only is he a top-tier military leader, but he also has a powerful background; he is the nephew of the current military genius, Lord Wei.
Furthermore, in the previous battle of Kyoto, he annihilated the Prince of Zhenbei and Emperor Yuanjing, two evil traitors!
Therefore, this was also an opportunity for the Gongsun family to rise to prominence overnight.
This will enhance the status of the Gongsun family throughout the entire Great Feng Dynasty.
It has immeasurable value.
After careful consideration and repeated deliberation, Gongsun Xiangyang finally made up his mind to invite Lei Zheng, who was quite capable, to participate.
He knew that the more effort he put in, the greater his chances of success.
At the same time, it also allows old friends to join in, so that Wei Changxuan won't be short-handed when he needs manpower.
While secretly and meticulously planning how to take advantage of this god-given opportunity...
Another idea was quietly growing in Gongsun Xiangyang's mind.
He thought of his daughter, whom he cherished dearly; she was intelligent, quick-witted, and exceptionally talented.
He began to consider whether he should intentionally push his daughter towards Wei Changxuan.
This will make her a closer bridge connecting the Gongsun family and Wei Changxuan.
After all, such rare and exceptional opportunities are extremely rare; if this marriage could be arranged,
Not only can it pave a bright and promising future for my daughter,
It can also provide the family with a strong and solid backing, helping the family's status and power to achieve a leapfrog growth.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Xiangyang's eyes became more determined, his steps became more steady and powerful, and a confident smile bloomed on his face.
He understood deeply that this trip to Dragon God Fortress would be a crucial turning point in the fate of him and the entire Gongsun clan.
(Li Nuo Zhao) Every step must be carefully planned and executed, and no slight mistake is allowed.
As the hall doors slowly opened, Yang rushed out.
