The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 533: Chief Candidate, Thundering Mountains (asking for monthly ticket~)

hum~
The spiritual light between his eyebrows gradually dimmed, and Chen Pingan slowly opened his eyes.

"285 points!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes sparkled, and there was a hint of joy on his face.

Although the Ten Thousand Demons Body Forging Technique is also a supreme divine skill, it is not known whether it is due to his improved realm or some other reason, the difficulty of practicing it is much lower than that of the Seven Absolute Divine Arts.

Since he came out of retreat, he has accumulated quite a lot of practice experience through the practice in the past few days.

According to this progress, in a little over two months, he will be able to perfect it and master the ultimate secret skill, the Ten Thousand Demons True Body.

If he could successfully engrave the seventh spiritual pattern and reveal the true form of all demons, he would be confident that he could defeat even a top grandmaster.

"It's time to say goodbye!"

Chen Pingan let his hands drop and slowly stood up.

Almost four months have passed since he arrived in Canglongzhou City.

Previously, the Gu family stepped in to coordinate the tone of the marriage and to discuss matters such as retreat to consolidate the realm, but now it is not appropriate to continue staying in Canglongzhou City.

As the deputy governor of Beicang, it would be more appropriate for him to stay in the place where he is guarding.

According to his own judgment, this trip to Canglongzhou City to deal with Qi Guangshan and purchase the magic weapons would take at most two months. Now it has been nearly four months, which is twice as long as expected.

It’s quite a pleasant surprise!
During these four months, the siblings got along naturally and peacefully. Except that they no longer had to worry about their livelihood, the other things about them seemed to have returned to the days when they lived in Nanquan Lane.

A few days ago, Chen Pingan also asked the little girl for her opinion, asking her if she wanted to go back to Beicang for a while. However, the little girl refused.

The little girl has lofty ambitions and doesn't want to give up her studies so easily.

Although Canglong Academy is not as good as the clan schools of the state capital families, it is still one of the best schools in the Northern Cangzhou. Not only because of the school's teaching staff and educational conditions, but also because Canglong Academy has the possibility of leading to the Imperial Academy!
Not only Canglong Academy, but any academy named after a state in the four regions of Daqian has the opportunity to study in the two great palaces.

In addition to the academy, there are also some clan schools of long-standing aristocratic families. As long as you have a number at the academy, you will have this opportunity.

However, the so-called opportunity only represents a possibility.

If you really want to go to the academy for further studies, you need to go through layers of selection and overcome many difficulties.

In addition, one also needs an extremely strong financial support. Without this, even if one enters the academy for further studies, it is likely that one will not be able to make any progress.

Unless you are one of the few people with the best and most outstanding performance in the academy who can enjoy the academy's resource allocation and training, otherwise, once you get involved in celestial phenomena, astrology, the five elements and the eight trigrams, the Qimen Dunjia and other literary and Taoist practices, it would require a massive investment of resources!
According to what Chen Ping'an knew, with the standards of Canglong Academy, there was an opportunity to recommend students to the two major palaces every three years.

It has been more than a year, almost two years, since the last time students were recommended. In other words, in a little more than a year, it will be time for Canglong Academy to recommend students to the two major palaces again.

However, recommendations are recommendations, and the specific results still depend on the students' own performance and the results of the assessments of the two university palaces.

Judging from the recommendations of Canglong Academy and some top clan schools in the provincial capital in previous years, among these recommended students, only one in a hundred can eventually be admitted to the two major palaces!

You have to know that those who can be recommended have all been through many rounds of screening. The one in a hundred is already extremely outstanding. If we talk about the actual pass rate, among the many students who have undergone systematic learning, only one in a million can finally enter the academy for further study!

Among these people who were selected from thousands, the vast majority only received grades of Ding Xia or Ding Zhong in the academy's admission examination.

A, B, C, and D, D is the lowest! Those below D are the lowest of the lowest!
The genius of literature and art, who is one in a million, is just the most ordinary and mediocre group of people in the two great academies.

This
Everything is just the basics of the basics!

Unlike the logic of most schools, the Imperial Academy emphasizes lenient admission and strict graduation. These so-called geniuses selected from thousands of people are just a byproduct of the lenient admission and strict graduation policy.

In the future further studies, these people were eliminated from the academy for various reasons. After a long period of study and assessment, those who were able to graduate successfully were the best of the best, the real gifted children!

As long as they didn't make any serious mistakes, these people would have a good job. The outstanding ones could even work in the institutions directly under the Daqian imperial family.

These talented people of literature and art are the outstanding talents carefully selected by the Daqian royal family! In the process of continuous training and elimination, they will eventually become the pillars of Daqian society!
This means, the revival of Daqian!

Chen Ping'an's current vision is definitely not comparable to what it was back then.

He had heard something about this matter.

Since the little girl is so fond of this, he, as her brother, naturally chooses to support her.

The little girl is now in her early 14s. When Canglong Academy can recommend places in a year, she will be more than 15 years old. With the little girl's academic progress, she may be eligible for these recommended places at that time.

If the test is not favorable and she fails to enter the academy, she will have to wait another three years. At that time, the little girl will be only eighteen years old, which fully meets the age requirement for the academy's test.

The cultivation of the Way of Literature is similar to the cultivation of the Way of Martial Arts, and also has age requirements. For those with talent, the sooner they discover it, the better. With the same talent, the younger they are, the sooner they can get on the right track, which means better future achievements!

Chen Ping'an was not quite sure what the minimum age requirement for the entrance examination of the two academies was, but he thought that considering the girl's age, even if she did not perform well in the examination when she was over 18 years old, she should still be within the age range after another three years.

Chen Ping'an's thoughts changed and he walked out of the room.

At this moment, the little girl has gone to the academy. It is said that since she revealed her identity at Canglong Academy that day, the little girl's situation in the academy has changed a lot.

Everyone in the school knows that the school's proud girl, Chen Erya, is Mang Dao's sister!

Mang Dao was born in a humble family and has no background in aristocratic family. But with his current reputation, although he is not from an aristocratic family, he is better than one!
It was not until then that the school leaders finally understood the reason behind this massive campaign to rectify the school's style of study! ?
Under this situation, the little girl's position in the school was naturally superior. Those who used to be arrogant and competitive were very restrained in front of the little girl, and dared not show any arrogance.

Logically speaking, this matter would have some impact on the little girl's studies, but the little girl had a very good attitude and was not too upset by it.

"Young master, please take care." With Shaoyao's farewell voice, Chen Pingan boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago and headed towards the Gu family.

Since he had decided to return to Northern Cang, he naturally had to say goodbye to the Gu family. Regarding this matter, he had already mentioned it before, and now that it was confirmed, he naturally had to say his final farewell.

After bidding farewell to the Gu family, he went to the state pacification office, explained the reasons, and said goodbye before leaving.

Chen Pingan already had a plan for this process in mind.

However, just as his carriage was moving out, he saw a group of people from the Prefecture Pacification Division heading towards the house. The leader was an old acquaintance of Chen Ping'an.

"But it's Lord Chen's carriage!" Yu Zhanhong, riding on a horse, said in a loud voice with a respectful look on his face.

Xi Yuyu——

After receiving confirmation from the coachman, the horse neighed and stopped in front of the carriage.

"I am Yu Zhanhong, your humble servant, and I am here to pay my respects to Lord Chen!" Yu Zhanhong and his entourage all dismounted and bowed respectfully.

The frame was silent. After several breaths, Chen Ping'an's voice was heard.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, there is an urgent message from the governor. Please move aside." Yu Zhanhong looked respectful, bowed his head and saluted, looking at the carriage in front of him. In a trance, it seemed as if he had returned to the past.

He didn't seem to be like this at that time!
When Yu Zhanhong showed up, Chen Pingan had a vague guess in his mind, and as the other party greeted him respectfully, behaved respectfully, and was humble, just like a subordinate meeting a superior, Chen Pingan basically had the answer to what he was thinking.

We now have the deputy governor of Beicang, Mangdao Chen Ping'an, who is polite, courageous, has his own vision, and is talented and intelligent. He is a model for pacification officials. After deliberation by the Canglongzhou Pacification Office, Mangdao Chen Ping'an is promoted to the governor of Beicang, and is granted the title of alternate governor, and enjoys all the treatment at the same level!
I hereby promote you as a reward!
In addition, Mang Dao Chen Ping'an is extremely talented and has the potential to be a potential dragon. It is indeed a blessing for the Pacification Office that he will be registered with the Northern Border Pacification Office and be given a seal, waiting to be used in an important position!
Alternate for the post of Director!

In the system of the Provincial Pacification Office, he is a real high-level giant and can be specially granted a suit of the candidate for the office, with a frame decorated with black-patterned jade.

At this level, even if someone is promoted to Grandmaster, they still need a lot of merits and qualifications to be promoted. Otherwise, they can only be an ordinary worshiper in the State Pacification Office. Although the corresponding treatment is not bad, it is undoubtedly far from the candidate for the head of the office.

Like Wang Lingzhi, as the previous generation of the Wang family, he had everything from background to connections, but after being promoted to Grandmaster, he still needed experience and merits as a stepping stone to advance. This was why Wang Lingzhi went to Northern Cang to investigate Xue Kunsheng's life and death.

But for others, the candidate for the position of chief executive, which was extremely difficult and required a lot of hardships to have a chance of promotion, now fell into Chen Ping'an's hands so easily.

Moreover, he is not just an ordinary candidate for the position of chief executive, but also the powerful person in charge of an important town!

They are both candidates for director-general, but whether they hold real power or not is naturally a different matter!
In addition, he was registered with the Northern Border Pacification Office and was given a seal, waiting to be used in an important position!
These few words already represent the value of his promotion this time.

The northern border is vast, with so many states and territories. Given the structure of the Northern Border Pacification Office, it is naturally impossible for any candidate for the position of chief of a state to be qualified to be on the list.

Although there are many candidates for the position of Chief of the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office, there is probably not a single one who can be registered as the Chief of the Northern Border Pacification Office!

Not to mention the candidates for the chief, even if you count all the deputy chiefs, there are probably only a few who can be registered with the Northern Border Pacification Office and included in the inspection, no more than one or two.

Being registered with the Northern Border Pacification Office already represents Chen Pingan's current prestige and status.

There is no need to say more, everything is implied.

When Chen Pingan arrived at the Prefecture Pacification Office, he was warmly welcomed. The runners, the stewards, the chief officers of the office, and many commanders stood on both sides and greeted him loudly.

"We respectfully welcome Master Chen. May your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

This scene is completely different from when Chen Pingan first arrived, and the situation is very different.

Amid the greetings along the way, Chen Pingan also met the Five Thunder Master, Ning Zhengyue smoothly. Not only Ning Zhengyue, but also several other deputy directors of the State Pacification Division.

"Congratulations!" Although Ning Zhengyue's voice was still majestic, his expression and demeanor were very different from before.

Judging from the reaction of the Northern Border Pacification Office, it is obvious that they are planning to make reuse of this genius from the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office.

With Chen Ping'an's current situation, if we talk about future potential, even if his status is not as good as his, it is almost the same.

"Thank you, Lord Ning." Chen Pingan behaved properly, was humble and polite, and had no arrogance at all.

"You are neither arrogant nor impetuous. You are a talented person in the Canglongzhou Pacification Office! Chen Ping'an, I have high hopes for you!" Yao Guang on the side praised.

"Lord Yao." Chen Pingan saluted with a smile.

During the conversation just now, he already knew the other party's identity. The deputy director of the Canglongzhou Pacification Bureau, Yao Guang, the Eight Desolate Fist. In terms of the ranking sequence in the Pacification Bureau, he was even one level higher than Ning Zhengyue, the Five Thunders Ultimate Hand.

Yao Guang had a warm expression on his face, but Chen Pingan could vaguely sense a sense of oppression from him that seemed to be looking down on everyone.

Yao Guang's ability with the Eight Desolate Fist is probably not inferior to that of Master Xuan and Master Hua of the Gu family.

Although Chen Pingan was not afraid, he still felt some pressure.

Fortunately, Chen Pingan did not feel such pressure from the other deputy directors. The strongest among them was only on par with Ning Zhengyue, and most of them were far inferior to him, at most at the level of top grandmasters.

It is not easy for Chen Pingan to kill someone of this level, but it is relatively easy to just defeat him.

"Master Chen, congratulations." In a main hall of the Provincial Pacification Office, several deputy directors were chatting with Chen Pingan in a gentle manner.

Chen Pingan smiled and made judgments secretly while chatting.

"This Canglong Province is still home to many hidden talents!"

In the State Pacification Division alone, he found a Grandmaster with the ultimate combat power, and two Grandmasters close to the ultimate combat power. For example, Ning Zhengyue, the Five Thunders Transformation Hand, was a Grandmaster close to the ultimate combat power. His strength was half a level stronger than the average top Grandmaster, but he probably hadn't really entered the ultimate realm yet.

I just don't know if he can reach the threshold of the supreme grandmaster's combat power after all his cards are revealed!
Chen Pingan now has six spiritual patterns engraved on him. During this meeting, he also figured out Ning Zhengyue's martial arts realm. Ning Zhengyue should have reached the stage of spiritual pattern condensation, and is very close to breaking through the second level and nourishing the martial arts spirit.

Normally, the promotion of a candidate for the position of Chief Secretary would not attract the attention of so many deputy chief secretaries. However, Chen Ping'an's promotion to the Northern Border Pacification Office was a different story than usual. All the deputy chief secretaries gathered to congratulate him.

Of course, when expressing congratulations, corresponding gifts are indispensable.

During the conversation, Chen Pingan also received various valuable gifts from everyone, including the Five Thunders Transformation Hand, and Ning Zhengyue also received a gift.

In terms of value, it is the highest among everyone. I don’t know if it is because he has the intention to ease the pressure or for some other reason.

With these gifts, Chen Ping'an's wealth increased slightly again. During the communication, Chen Ping'an also found that several deputy directors were quite friendly to him, but after careful observation, there were still some differences in closeness and distance. In addition, two deputy directors of the state pacification department did not appear here. Although each of them had excuses, it was obvious that they seemed to have many opinions about Chen Ping'an.

Among the two deputy directors, one of them was the backer of Blood Bat Wei Yiqi in the State Pacification Department! As for the other one, no one mentioned it, and Chen Pingan did not ask in depth.

When a few people were chatting and laughing, they revealed this news. If it was an ordinary young man, he would probably naively think that they were on the same side as him. If someone else implicitly expressed his support, the person who had just been promoted would probably become inflated beyond belief.

I consciously think that the advantage lies with the majority over the minority!

But in fact, the few people who revealed this information to him might not have any good intentions, and they obviously had their own calculations.

In recent years, there have been a few people who have been promoted to candidates for the position of director, but not even one has been promoted to deputy director.

For the deputy chiefs, the structure of the state pacification office was basically determined, and the conflicts of interest between them had reached a stable stage. Some of them might be dissatisfied with the distribution of interests, but due to the general trend or the lack of a suitable reason, it continued like this.

But obviously, the appearance of Chen Pingan has caused some ripples in this interest structure. Although Chen Pingan has just been promoted to the candidate for the director, judging from his talent, as long as he does not die halfway, no one believes that he will not be promoted to the deputy director!
The appearance of a deputy director is obviously an opportunity for a change in the situation. If the newly born giant is strong enough, it will be a reshuffle of the distribution of interests.

Of course, Chen Pingan has not reached this level at this time, but it does not prevent some people from having thoughts and taking precautions in advance.

In addition, the several deputy directors present congratulated Chen Pingan, but not all of them were on his side. They each had their own thoughts.
Everyone has their own considerations when calculating their own interests.

Anyone who can reach this point would simply take sides based on likes and dislikes or a simple analysis.

At this level, those who are friendly to you may not be your allies, and those who are hostile to you may not be your enemies!
For example, some of these people have interests and factions behind them, but they may not all be close to Chen Ping'an!

For those in a higher position, judging a person's stance and likes and dislikes based on an ordinary event is the most taboo!
You are in a high position, and there are a lot of people below you who care about you and share your worries.

But who is working for public benefit and who is working for personal gain? It is so confusing that one can only see the fireworks and cannot tell the difference!
Some people have a public-spirited heart and are full of enthusiasm, but lack the ability. They become pawns of others without knowing it, and eventually become the vanguard of others' pursuit of selfish interests.

Or there may be people who plot their own personal gain, but their plotting is well-planned, their methods are sophisticated, their layout is far-reaching, and while they are seeking profit, they also become loyal ministers and good generals!
It is difficult to describe the affairs of life in one word! It is difficult to explain the private and public interests in a few words!

Great loyalty seems like treachery! Great treachery seems like loyalty.
Chen Pingan was not a fool. He could see through the thoughts of the people in the field. However, he did not say anything and just kept chatting and getting along according to the rules.

As the candidate for the position of Chief, and a high-ranking figure in the State Pacification Office, the corresponding treatment is naturally first-class!
In addition to the increase in monthly salary, there are many other benefits. For example, the specifications of the vehicles used for travel will be improved on the previous basis.

Not only is it wider, but also stronger. It is equipped with six handsome horses to pull the frame. It is the Six-Horse Mysterious Pattern Jade Decorated Frame, also known as the Six-Horse Mysterious Pattern Frame!
There is no need for others to say much when this kind of vehicle frame is traveling. Those with vision can tell at a glance that a giant in the state is traveling!
In addition to the six-horse black pattern carriage frame, Chen Pingan also got a seal, which, together with the identity badge, proved his identity. In addition, the seal also has the function of stamping, which means that his decision can represent the intention of the Canglongzhou Zhenfu Division within a certain scope of authority.

Words are the law, the law of the state pacification office!
In addition to the seal, Chen Ping'an's biggest gain was a set of chief assistant suits. This was not an ordinary suit, and when combined, it was equivalent to the value of a quasi-divine weapon.

It is considered the most valuable item among all the gifts.

Chen Ping'an's horizons have been broadened now. Although this quasi-divine weapon is nothing, it is better than nothing and is somewhat helpful.

This chief officer candidate suit includes a white jade blue cloud crown, a silver-patterned black robe, and gold-threaded cloud shoes.
After putting on this suit, a handsome and elegant young man appeared in front of everyone!

Of course, from the perspective of ordinary people, Chen Pingan is already a young man at this time. But in the eyes of everyone present, Chen Pingan is still just a teenager. A teenager in the prime of life who is in a period of rapid growth!
This sudden promotion interrupted Chen Ping'an's farewell plan. He originally planned to leave today and leave Canglongzhou City tomorrow. But obviously, the plan has now fallen through. The Gu family will also have to choose another day to leave.

On the same day, a grand promotion dinner was held within the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office.

The Canglongzhou Zhenfusi covers a vast area and has its own banquet venue. The specific dishes are prepared by the Zhenfusi's private chef, and in terms of taste and specifications, they are even better than the famous restaurants in the state capital.

The banquet was not attended by a wide range of people, but it was of a very high standard. Those who attended were all well-known figures, who could influence the prestige of a region with just a stomp of their feet. Many important officials who were in key positions within the state's pacification department came.

As the center of the dinner, Chen Pingan naturally received heavy congratulations.

"Congratulations, Lord Chen!" Lu Yuanzai's face was filled with smiles, as if in the spring breeze, and he held a wine glass and celebrated loudly.

"Lord Lu, you're welcome." Chen Pingan raised his glass with a smile.

He was now promoted to the position of the Northern Cang garrison commander. Although Lv Yuanzai was still his nominal superior, he no longer had the power to evaluate and control him. The person he really needed to be responsible for was Ning Zhengyue, the master of the Five Thunders.

"Congratulations." During the meal, Feng Wuhen also toasted Chen Pingan with a glass of wine.

This was the first time the two had drunk together since they first met at Sanqi Mountain.

During this meeting, Feng Wuhen looked normal, and it seemed that he had completely walked out of the shadow of the black-robed old monster.

As the cups clinked, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.

Chen Ping'an also learned from others about Feng Wuhen's next arrangement. As a priest of the State Pacification Office, he would be transferred to Leiming City to serve as the chief priest.

Leiming City is a well-known city in the state. The size of the city ranks among the top three in Canglong State, second only to Canglong State City. In addition, Leiming City is adjacent to the Leiming Mountains, and the surrounding area is full of people of all kinds. There are often masters of evil ways and demons, as well as bounty-bearing bandits and bigwigs hiding here. The complex situation makes Leiming City extremely high-standard configuration, and Canglong State Pacification Office has also spent a lot of effort in Leiming City.

The head of the Leiming Town Pacification Division, who was stationed in Leiming City, was a true Grand Master. In addition, the second-in-command of the Leiming Town Pacification Division was a top Grand Master with impressive combat power. Feng Wuhen was a senior Grand Master who had been famous for many years and was quite powerful, but this time he was transferred to serve as the third-in-command of the Leiming Town Pacification Division as the Chief Worshiper.

"Thunder City?" Upon hearing that Feng Wuhen was transferred to Thunder City, Chen Pingan became cautious.

Although the Thunder Mountain Range is not a county, its specifications are much higher than a county. Due to its special geographical location, it is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and evil spirits are rampant.

The unique environment makes the black market in Thunder Mountain Range extremely prosperous.

The daily transaction throughput is even more exaggerated than that of some well-known big cities in the state.

Before this, Chen Pingan had some shady items that needed to be sold, such as the magic sword and the Silver Moon Spear. He had been interested in the Thunder Mountains for some time.

He happened to hear the news about Thunder City at this time, so he naturally became interested.

If he had the chance, he might go to the Thunder Mountains.

From the fragmentary exchanges, Chen Pingan also learned that Feng Wuhen's transfer this time seemed to be related to the situation in the Thunder Mountains.

Two years ago, a large-scale suppression campaign against evil spirits and heretics was launched in Canglong Prefecture. Under the pressure of the suppression, the various forces in the Thundering Mountains also calmed down a lot. The old demons, evil spirits and monsters roaming around in the area also behaved extremely low-key and all lay dormant.

But in recent days, the Thunder Mountains have become lively again.

According to the news from Thunder City, these grassroots tycoons and evil demons are playing some kind of thundering martial arts debate and commanding the heroes. According to their own internal rhetoric, it is called a heroes' conference.

Due to the situation, the Leiming Town Fusi also strengthened its precautions. In addition, it was proposed that the state fusi be used to encircle and suppress the Leiming evil spirits.

However, the Provincial Pacification Office had many concerns and doubts about the encirclement and suppression and did not respond to it.

The previous rebellion in Northern Cang had set off a massive campaign of encirclement and suppression. But although the final solution was publicized as a complete victory, it was actually not ideal. Although there were results, there was still a big gap from expectations.

In addition, the rebellion in Bei Cang affected the trade routes and affected the interests of many forces within the state. Against this background, the state pacification office was established, and all parties responded in unison.

But the situation in the Thunder Mountain Range this time was very different from the previous one. Firstly, the matter of the Thunder Mountain Range was confined to the mountain range, and the so-called Heroes Conference did not affect the interests of the various families. Even if there was an impact, it was not as huge as the impact on the Long'an Trade Route.

Secondly, the trade route runs through Qingling Prefecture in the southern border. The incident in Beicang had affected the trade route. It was because of the potential pressure from Qingling Prefecture that there was such urgency and such a large-scale encirclement and suppression broke out in a short period of time.

Three come.
The black market in the Thundering Mountains is rampant, and the profits are huge. If you say that the families in the state have not participated in it, I am afraid no one will believe it. Under the siege, it is bound to affect the interests of the families in the Thundering Mountains.

Under such circumstances, naturally, most people were opposed to the encirclement and suppression. The occasional supporters were quickly pacified.

If the provincial pacification office wants to encircle and suppress the rebellion, it would be extremely difficult to push forward with the strength of one family.

Besides, who says that the top officials of the State Pacification Bureau are not interested in the black market interests in the Thunder Mountain Range and are not involved in it! ?
Among the many high-ranking officials of the Provincial Pacification Office, whose interests each one is representing is not necessarily clear to others amid the chaos.

Given the general situation, it is unlikely to encircle and wipe out the Thunder Mountain Range in the short term.

Before the interests of each family are truly affected, no one would be the first to take the initiative and take the risk of being disapproved by the whole state and insist on a siege!
The trend of encirclement and suppression was shelved, and the general trend of oppression became empty talk.

All that can be done is to strengthen the defense of Thunder City, divide the various forces in the Thunder Mountains, sneak into the Heroes Conference, and find out the truth.

Feng Wuhen obviously went there with a mission this time.

However, naturally no one mentioned the mission at the dinner.

As the center of the dinner, Chen Pingan was naturally the topic of conversation. At the beginning, everyone congratulated Chen Pingan on his promotion. He was in power at a young age and was listed as a giant in the state pacification department.

Later, as the atmosphere became increasingly heated, some people began to make fun of Chen Ping'an's marriage.

"Everyone, let me say that Lord Chen is truly a role model for our generation and a model of life! Not to mention his extraordinary talent, he has now become the son-in-law of the Gu family, which is truly the envy of others! Everyone, come, let us toast Lord Chen together!"

"Hahaha, come on, toast to the adults!"

"Toast!"

"."

As the glasses clinked, the discussion continued.

"Master Chen is really very lucky!"

"Master Chen is extremely talented, and he has a beautiful wife. He is the envy of others!"

"Master Chen, when are you getting married?!"

"Mr. Chen is a man of extraordinary talent and amazing intelligence. He also has a deep understanding of love! First there was Fairy Yunmeng, and then there was Fairy Yunmeng."

"Hey, hey, hey, be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! The noble lady of the Gu family, the wife that Lord Chen married in a formal ceremony, how can she be compared to a prostitute in a prostitute's house!?"

"Look at my mouth! Don't blame me, Master Chen!"

"Master Chen, good things are coming! Let us raise our glasses again and celebrate for Master Chen together!"

"Good! Good!"

"Respectfully, Master Chen!"

"."

Many people responded and another round of toasting and drinking began.

The atmosphere in the field was lively, but in reality, it was turbulent and everyone had their own thoughts.

Chen Ping'an's rapid promotion may not be in everyone's interest. However, most people don't have the guts to go against Chen Pingan. Therefore, many people are fanning the flames in the name of celebration.

However, there were many people from the Gu family faction present, and these people did not dare to go too far and mostly stopped at the right time.

But there were also some who didn't know how to judge the limit. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to tease Chen Ping'an, but they went a little too far and mentioned the matter of Prince Bi Cang in their words.

"Master Chen, the name of Qingcheng is known to everyone in the state, and there are many admirers. For example, the grandson of the Bi Cang prince once went to Canglong in person and sang a song of phoenix to ask for marriage with the Gu family's prodigy Gu Qingcheng, but in the end he failed! Master Chen is unparalleled in his elegance and is happily married. In my opinion, he must be a first-class figure in the world!"

Although this statement seems to be without any problem, it actually puts Chen Pingan in opposition to the Prince of Bi Cang, creating a comparison.

Obviously, this sentence is a typical example of fanning the flames.

No man will allow others to do what he cannot do.

Although the marriage between Chen Ping'an and Gu Qingcheng would cause dissatisfaction from the Bi Cang princes as long as it was spread, this sentence obviously had the effect of exaggerating and fueling the flames.

The person who said this has no good intentions!

Chen Ping'an had an indifferent expression and slowly raised his head. His eyes, as cold as a pond, contained no emotion at all and accurately fell on the person who was speaking across the crowd.

The scene was still noisy, but Chen Ping'an's actions gradually calmed the noise.

For a moment, the scene fell into silence.

(End of this chapter)
