evouring nearby coastal areas, aiming to fill their Sea Nest with them and trap both the Cangwu Realm and Tianjing Nation. They underestimated the war potential of the human race while overestimating...As soon as Qu Shunhua got into the carriage, he saw Zuo Guangshu with his striking features. The gentle and smiling man beside him also came into view.

In a blue tunic, he sat beside the young master of Chu, not at all losing his bearing.

Qu Shunhua was no stranger to things like stealing carriages and climbing windows.

It's not just her, even Zuo Guangshu is already very used to it.

>

But if outsiders were to see, it would inevitably be a bit awkward.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

She is a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family after all! A true lady of refinement!

The Qi family has been a prominent family for generations, and she, Qi Shuhua, is a once-in-a-generation prodigy... How could this be described as "shameful"

At this very moment.

Left Guangshu leaned against the back wall of the carriage, Jiang Wang leaned against the window, Qu Shunhua half-bent over the car door, one hand resting on the curtain, a frozen smile on her face.

None of the three people spoke.

Qiu Shunhua's silence was due to embarrassment.

Zuo Guangshu's silence was because, in the awkwardness of it all, he hadn't figured out how to introduce Qu Shunhua to Jiang Wang. Friend Elder sister of the Qu family

Jiang Wang was silent because she didn't know what she wanted to do by getting into the carriage, nor did she know how she usually got along with Zuo Guangshu... Maybe they just clapped their hands and left

In the carriage, a strange silence descended.

"You're here!" Jiang Wang spoke first.

He wasn't exactly a smooth talker, but he was trying his best in front of his subordinates. At such an awkward moment, as the elder brother, he had to save face, so with gritted teeth, he mustered his courage and spoke up...

Although the opening remark was a bit confusing, it did at least break the awkward silence.

Qū Shùnhuá reluctantly said, "I'm here."

"Qu Shunhua, is that right" Jiang Wang asked.

"Do you know me" Qu Shunhua raised an eyebrow.

It's not hard to guess.

To date, the only girl Zuo Guangshu has mentioned in front of him is Qu Shunchua.

Coming to think of it, Xiaoguang's proud yet shy personality probably wouldn't attract too many friends. But someone who could boldly barge into the Grandson's carriage on the street must be extraordinary in terms of both feelings and status.

Apart from Qiu Shunhua, there is no one else I consider.

Jiang Wang smiled kindly: "Xiao Guangshu always mentions you to me!"

This sentence seemed to shatter the distance, making the atmosphere in the carriage light and cheerful.

Qiu Shunhua broke into a smile and gracefully took her seat opposite Jiang Wang, saying politely, "How did he manage to recommend me"

With that awkward atmosphere gone, she sat down like this. The beauty with an oval face immediately revealed a dignified and noble air.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Confident and composed.

"What are you saying!" Zuo Guangshu said, somewhat flustered.

Qiu Shunhua turned her head and said, "Don't speak first!"

But then she remembered Jiang Wang was present, and with a gentle smile, said, "Let me chat with...Brother Jiang first."

Here is the translation of the provided text:

She had also gone to watch the battles at the River Viewing Platform, so she naturally recognized Huang He, the leader of the Yellow River troops. Not to mention that Zuo Guangshu often told her about Jiang Wang's abilities...

With a slight thought, she understood. Jiang Wang was invited by Zuo Guangshu to help in the Shan Hai Realm. Having witnessed Jiang Wang's fighting prowess firsthand, she naturally welcomed this development.

But what she cared about most was how Xiaoguang and Shù talked about her behind her back.

Of course, it's a plus to mention her often, but the specific way of mentioning her is still open to discussion.

“You’ve said it too many times, I don’t even know where to begin.” Jiang Wang said nonchalantly, “One moment you say she’s beautiful and graceful, the next you say she’s exceptionally talented, then you say she’s rare in the world, and then you say it’s a blessing to meet her in three lifetimes… My ears are about to develop calluses from hearing it!”

Qu Shunhua glanced shyly at Zuo Guangshu: "Why are you so disrespectful when talking to Brother Jiang It's annoying!"

Zuo Guangshu's handsome face flushed red. He wanted to deny it, but he still had some rationality left... Now denying it seemed like courting death.

“I previously thought this child was being overly dramatic in his speech, not sounding truthful at all. Is there anyone like that in the world” Jiang Wang said sincerely: “After meeting Miss Qu today, I realize he has already been very humble!”

"Well, this..." Qu Shunhua, who was imposing before Zuo Guangshu, blushed and lowered her head: "Brother Jiang, you make me embarrassed."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I have a bad habit, I can't hold back my thoughts." Jiang Wang gave Zuo Guangshu a 'for brother to be good to you' look, then smiled and said: "Alright, I'll go for a walk first and admire the night view of Yingcheng. Give you two some space and chat well!"

"Ai, Brother Jiang, don't leave." Qu Shunhua quickly said, "I didn't find Guangshu for anything important, just to meet him and then I should go!"

"Besides…" she said a little sheepishly, "We haven't gotten married yet, so we're not really a couple. It's just that we were betrothed since childhood…"

Left Guangshu's face was even redder, as if it were about to bleed.

"Being betrothed since childhood, loving each other, and being so well-suited...," Jiang Wang smiled, "Isn't that just a matter of time!"

Qiu Shunhua's smile widened: "Brother Jiang, you are Guangshu's elder brother, which makes you my elder brother as well. If there's anything you need in Yingcheng, just ask me!"

Looking back at Zuo Guangshu, he said, "You guys should rest today first, and let Big Brother Jiang meet the family. Tomorrow we'll find a time for you to bring Big Brother Jiang to Huangliangtai, and I'll arrange a welcome banquet..."

And he shoved him again: "Did you hear that"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Only then did Zuo Guangshu exclaim, "Oh!"

Qú Shùnhuá greeted Jiāng Wàng again: "Brother Jiāng, come for a drink tomorrow! I'll be off now!"

Then he lifted the curtain and left, swaggering.

It truly came like a bolt from the blue and departed as swiftly as lightning.

Unlike the common refined and graceful noblewomen that Jiang Wang had met in Linzi, she possessed a certain romantic and unrestrained charm characteristic of daughters from Chu.

The car window was still open. Jiang Wang looked out, and Qu Shunhua's carriage was originally parked next to it, luxurious in every way, not inferior to Zuo Guangshu's one. She crouched down and got into it.

>

"Oh, what a good girl!"

Ginger looked admiringly at the departing carriage, then back at Zuo Guangshu.

He glanced at Zu Guangshu, then at the carriage carrying Qu Shunhua away.

Left Guangshu's face flushed red, and he angrily said, "What are you looking at!"

Jiang Wang laughed heartily, but said nothing more.

The little guy is thin-skinned. If you tease him any more, he'll probably blow a fuse.

The Duke of Huai's residence was vast. Even in Yingcheng, where an inch of land was worth an ounce of gold, the sheer size of the estate spoke volumes about the power of its owner.

A pair of red jade lion sculptures stand at the gate, majestic and priceless.

>

Especially the eyes of the lion, shimmering with light, seemed to be alive.

The young master of the Left Family returned home, and the Duke Huai's mansion directly opened its gates to welcome him with a line of guards.

As soon as Jiang Wangcai got out of the carriage, he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman standing there.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Dressed in simple yet elegant attire, with an air of nobility between her brows but without arrogance. Instead, she gives off a feeling that is both kind and gentle.

Zuo Guangshu first stepped out of the carriage, very politely saying: "Mother, this is Jiang Wang and Jiang Xian, whom I invited to help me fight. They are the top students of this year's Yellow River!"

Xiang Jingyu turned her gaze over.

Jiang Wang took a step forward and bowed, saying: "Junior Jiang Wang greets Your Highness, the Princess of Chu!"

He had done his homework beforehand and knew that Zuo Guang's mother was the biological sister of the current Emperor Chu, with the title of Jade Rhyme Long Princess. This was the safest way to address her.

Looking at the young man before him, tall and elegant, a moment of bewilderment flashed across Xiong Jingyu's eyes.

Her eldest son, who had also served as the top student of the Yellow River...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But this feeling quickly faded.

Xiong Jingyu said softly, "You are friends with Guangshu, you can just call me aunt. Thank you for your hard work. You took good care of my Guangshu in the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm, and now you came all this way to help him."

"Where" Jiang Wangqian said softly. "In the Taixu Illusionary Realm, Guangshu and I helped each other grow together. Moreover, I have always yearned for the Shanhai Realm. Receiving the invitation was exactly what I desired!"

"How are you adapting to the Mountain and Sea Purgatory" Xiong Jingyu asked again.

Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu and confidently smiled, "Not bad."

Zuo Guangshu seemed very dissatisfied with his mother's question and shouted from the side, "How could my chosen assistant be any worse"

Xiong Jingyu ignored him and only said to Jiang Wang: "That place is too harsh, it would be a burden for you to follow. I truly feel sorry for that. These few days, just rest well in the mansion and recuperate."

"Guāng Shū, would you like to cultivate with me It wouldn't be hard, mother-in-law." Jiāng Wàng went along with it smoothly.

Xiong Jingyu asked, "Did Guangshu tell you about his grandfather wanting to see you"

“As you said.” Jiang Wang said: “My husband is a hero of our time, I have long admired him!”

Xiong Jingyu smiled faintly. She felt even more fondness for this young man who was neither servile nor arrogant: "Guangshu's grandfather is waiting for you in the study. I'll take you there now."

She patted Zuo Guangshu's head and said, "You just stay here for a while."

"Why haven't you called me in yet" Zuo Guangshu immediately expressed his displeasure: "Is there anything about the Zuo family that I'm not supposed to know about"

“Your grandfather went out of his way to find someone to talk to, it seems like he really cares about you, right” Xiong Jingyu pushed him away: “Go go go, get out of my way!”

Zuo Guangshu understood that his mother's attitude was final, but he still shouted: "You can go talk, but don't let my grandfather bully people!"

Xiong Jingyu couldn't help but glare at him: "How old is your grandfather Do you think he's like one of you kids"

Left Guangshu's words were just a joke.

Jiang Wang felt inexplicably guilty.

Children think about who to bully, adults are murderers...

If the Duke of Huai was truly unhappy, wouldn't this small frame be unable to withstand his anger

But after all, he could only follow Xiong Jingyu.

Falling behind by half a body, walking in this deep courtyard of the Marquis Mansion of Huai.

Jiang Wang slowly soothed his slightly flustered mood.

He could probably guess why the Duke of Huai wanted to see him.

Left Guangshu's "Detailed Explanation of Burning Flowers and Cities" already explains a lot.

Just as Master Ku Jie could find him through some connection, for a prominent figure like Duke Huai, it would not be difficult to discern the bond between him and Zuo Guanglie.

The Duke of Huai in the state of Chu, Zou Xia, was known for his extremely arrogant name. It is said that when he was young, he was a fierce and intimidating presence. After attaining a high position, he gradually began to cultivate himself and improve his character.

Of course, it's been a long time since he rose to fame. It's possible that outside of the Chu state, no one knows his evil reputation as well as they do here.

But those who truly know him, naturally wouldn't have such pointless comparative thoughts.

Jiang Wang thought about the Duke of Huai's style of doing things, weighing her own attitude for when she spoke later.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Then he suddenly heard a voice coming from the front——

"When he left... was he in pain"

The sound was too soft, as if it hadn't sounded at all.

But it was real, truly present in Jiang Wang's ear.

Jiang Wang dared not look at her expression walking beside him, but could feel the pain in this question.

This Great Chu Jade Rhyme Princess didn't say her name, however Jiang Wang naturally knew... who "he" was.

...Not so painful... probably just a mother's last consolation.

After some thought, Jiang Wang said: "It's like a sun going out. He left very decisively and very brilliantly."

“Like a sun…”, Xiong Jingyu murmured.

She imagined such a magnificent scene, and finally felt... that was the kind of ending Guanglie would choose.

Then she stopped her steps: "That study ahead is it, Guangshu's grandfather is inside."

"Alright. Thank you, auntie, for seeing me off." Jiang Wang bowed to her, then walked forward alone.

This youthful figure clad in a green tunic stood out distinctly, leaving an indelible impression on a mother's eyes.

The same Yellow River leader, the same peerless genius, the same young and promising...

>

But he is not him.

>

Around because of the relationship of the immortal art of rapid promotion, Jiang Wang's every movement had a bit of fairy air.

While Zuo Guangren was brilliant and dazzling.

Bear Jingyu gently closed her eyes, and for a moment she saw that young figure clad in a magnificent flame-colored robe again. But that figure would never turn back.

The study door was open and there was no one to attend to it.

Jiang Wang cautiously walked in and saw a thin old man sitting behind a desk, diligently writing something with his pen.

As he wrote, he said without looking up, "Sit down."

Jiang Wang glanced around, then sat down on a large chair by the wall. Behind him hung a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, and to his right was a tea stool. On the other side of the tea stool was another chair.

The entire study's layout can be described as "simple," with no superfluous decorations.

Duke Huai didn't intentionally delay to test Jiang Wang's character. He quickly put down his brush, pulled the just-finished case file to the upper right corner of his desk, and then looked over.

After all, a person's name and a tree's shadow.

Jiang Wang subconsciously gasped, and his buttocks unconsciously moved back half a seat.

"I've been wanting to meet you, Jiang Wang, the leader of the Yellow River." The Duke of Huai used these words as an opening remark.

Jiang Wang turned his face and looked over. This time, he clearly saw the face of the Duke of Huai in Chu—

Although he doesn't look very old, you can tell that he is an elder.

But his majesty was not outwardly apparent.

"To be remembered by the Duke of the Nation is an honor for this junior." Jiang Wang said politely.

His respect for Zuo Xiao stemmed not only from the other's status as Duke of Chu Huai, but also because he was the grandfather of Zuo Guanglie and Zuo Guanshu.

When dealing with a friend's elder, treat them with respect as an elder.

Duke Huai looked at him quietly for a while, then said: "Actually, I had some questions I wanted to ask you, but later I thought it was unnecessary. In life, everyone is bound to have regrets. I can't be an exception either."

He let out a soft sigh: "Child, all I want to do now is just look at you."st wish. Regarding cultivation, she now has many prospects that she didn't have before. Although the path is long and arduous, there is infinite hope ahead.Facing Jiang Wang's proactive greeting, she...
