”What's wrong?” Tang Thirty-Six asked.
Before, when he was in front of the cliff, Chen Changsheng had wanted to verify whether or not this tourist-like man was actually the legendary Wang Zhice. The man had only silently smiled and shaken his head, but the old man that followed him had very seriously warned him that this was a heavenly secret that could not be broached without risking the wrath of the heavens…
”This matter…it seems that I shouldn't have spoken about it.”
Chen Changsheng turned to Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu, asking them anxiously, ”You guys can't talk about this to anyone else.”
Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu looked in each other’s eyes for the third time today.
The room once more descended into silence.
After some time had passed, Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu nodded.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng relaxed. He was keenly aware that if these two friends of his promised something, they would definitely carry it out.
”Your fate…is really good.”
As Tang Thirty-Six spoke, his tone seemed to be very regretful, even tinged with a hint of almost indiscernible envy. Money was all-powerful and there were very few things in this world that he could not do, so he very rarely envied others. However, Chen Changsheng's luck and good fortune were sufficient to make him envious.
The legendary Wang Zhice was actually still alive and had reappeared in the world with only Chen Changsheng to witness it. Moreover, it just so happened to be when the Demon Lord was attempting to kill him. At that moment, other than a person like Wang Zhice whose appearance was utterly impossible, who could have saved him?
Ever since he had arrived in the capital from Xining, Chen Changsheng had heard far too many times that his fate was good. Of course, he knew that his fate wasn't good, but after hearing this evaluation so many times, he couldn't help but occasionally think that perhaps all these lucky encounters of his were the starry sky's way of compensating him for his fate.
Tang Tang Thirty-Six, rather puzzled, asked, ”Since Lord Wang is still alive, why has he never appeared in all these years?”
Zhexiu expressionlessly replied, ”Why does he need to appear?”
Tang Thirty-Six retorted, ”Whether it's opposing the demons or strengthening my Great Zhou…”
He trailed off as he understood the meaning of Zhexiu's words. Nobody knew what happened before Wang Zhice's disappearance, but the entire continent knew that Emperor Taizong had truthfully never much liked him. In addition, if he really did reappear, how would the Great Zhou Imperial Court treat him?
As for opposing the demons…Wang Zhice had already done too much, and no one in the entire human world was qualified to demand that he do any more.
”How many days was I unconscious?” Only at this point did Chen Changsheng remember to ask this question.
Tang Thirty-Six was still lost in the shock from the fact that Wang Zhice was still alive and did not respond to his question.
Zhexiu revealed five fingers, showing his entire palm.
It turned out that he had been unconscious for five days. In these five days, who knew what had occurred on Mount Han? Chen Changsheng asked, ”Is there anything new?”
Zhexiu thought this question over and discovered that he would need to say far too many things. As a result, he shook his head and slapped his palm on Tang Thirty-Six's back, rousing him from his daze.
Tang Thirty-Six talked about the tense situation around the continent and also about the nervous mood of Mount Han.
”Then…will the Boiling Stone Summit still be convened?”
”Based on Mao Qiuyu and Linghai Zhiwang's position, if you were to remain in a coma, they would take you back to the capital and the summit would naturally conclude, but now, you're awake.”
”Everyone attending the Boiling Stone Summit has arrived? They didn't encounter any dangers?”
Tang Thirty-Six gave him a very profound glance, then said, ”Everyone that should have come has arrived, no problems.”
