Chapter 467: Chapter 175: Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows, Liang Sheng Sighs in Chaos (4k Request for Monthly Votes)_2
This is human nature.
No matter how the world changes, as long as there are human hearts, they are prone to change; hence, one gets to appreciate the greatness of those who are wholeheartedly devoted to serving the public.
Chaos will rule Immortal City for a while, but as for Liang Sheng, he would merely watch idly by, without meddling at all.
After all, such cause and effect weigh heavily, and if he were to join in, he fears he would attract endless troubles and could no longer maintain a life of self-preservation.
As night passed, the situation unfolded just as Liang Sheng had anticipated: disturbances still plagued Immortal City, and everyone felt threatened. Many were hiding in their own homes, too scared to venture out.
At this time, barely any shops on Gourmet Street dared to open for business. There were even cultivators who had closed their shops too late the previous night, and hence suffered assaults from rogue cultivators, suffering substantial losses.
The Zhou Family had to be praised for their swift response. They had acted decisively prior to the chaos by shutting down their shops.
However, in spite of such measures, their situation was far from ideal, as they had already become targets.
This was a warning Jin Quanxiu issued to the Zhou Family Master with a grave expression, having sensed the state of affairs. After all, the perception of Nascent Soul Masters was razor-sharp.
The Zhou Family did not overestimate their capabilities and immediately began to protect their women and children on top of shutting down their mansion. They deployed disciples with high cultivation levels to patrol the vicinity around the clock.
Under such circumstances, the Zhou Family Master was slightly relieved, but even if the worst-case scenario were to occur, they still had an escape plan.
Having sensed disaster looming, the Zhou Family acted swiftly. Before closing down their mansion and refusing visitors, they found, with Jin Quanxiu’s help, an incredibly concealed and safe location to store a portion of their wealth.
Such secret bases were not limited to one location. After all, like the proverb says, “The crafty hare has three burrows”. No matter how dire the situation, the Zhou Family’s bloodline must continue.
Liang Sheng kept part of his divine sense on the Zhou Family’s side. Regardless of the situation, he kept an eye on everything happening related to the Zhou Family.
He felt increasingly touched, realizing that apart from natural disasters or irresistible forces, the Zhou Family could likely survive anywhere.
Indeed, it was a relief!
Perhaps that is why he was willing to form a cause and effect relationship with the Zhou Family in the first place: both he and the Zhou Family were inherently cautious.
Take the Dan Ding Sect in the Desolate Regions for instance: they were always extremely cautious in everything they did, never acting recklessly. Even when they were the most powerful, they never contemplated unifying the Desolated Regions. Instead, they steadfastly maintained neutrality.
He was uncertain whether this could be taken as a blessing to them as a result of their caution, otherwise the Zhou Family and Jin Quanxiu would have long met their ends, completely obliterated in the Desolate Regions.
At this moment, Huang Yifan brought up a sumptuous feast. Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn’t help nodding in satisfaction. Rescuing Huang Yifan and taking over the puppet’s body seemed to have been a wise choice.
Otherwise, how could he enjoy a feast so leisurely in such chaotic times? After Liang Sheng finished eating, he glanced at Huang Yifan and laughed, “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so hesitant?”
