Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Preposterous Rumors

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed and killing intent surged out.

He only heard one person say mysteriously, “did you guys hear about Zong Yuan? His nickname is the purple lightning spear. Within Ruohai Straits, he trampled over an army, our Gantian Mountain’s new unparalleled general. In the past, he followed Zong Hao but for some reason, he followed the ruler. Everyone was feeling word but I heard that in the past the ruler when he was in Linhai College he liked that kind, harming many beautiful males. Since his personality was too flirty, he was then chased out of Linhai College...”

“Woah Woah, I heard of this matter before too!”

Opposite that person was another male who gave an evil smile,” I heard that the hundred thousand blood killer Li Yaling was defeated by the ruler in one breath. In the end, the ruler was willing to keep him as a male pet because of his looks. But Li Yaling wasn’t willing which was why the ruler killed him.”

“There’s such a matter? I didn’t expect it. The ruler is actually like that?”

The people around him all gave out an enlightened expression. There was one old man who said in a heart pained manner, “The world is certainly getting worse. All because the ruler often went out for wars and didn’t teach his son well. No wonder when he was young and running about the city he would often stare at better-looking males!”

Veins popped out of Zong Shou’s forehead. What bullshit was this? Chuxue at the side was laughing till she was about to have internal injuries, but she didn’t dare to laugh out loud. She could only just step on the ground and beat her chest.

Ruoshui’s eyes smiled into a crescent moon. She used her hand to cover her mouth as she turned her head to the side, her body shaking slightly like a willow tree branch shaking in the wind.

The words got worse and worse. Zong Shou couldn’t be bothered to corrupt his ears and just stopped listening.

He was originally just planning on going to look at Shili Ling Xiangding, but now, he had no choice but to go. If he didn’t prove his manliness, how would he quell those rumors?

He scoffed coldly, asking Ruoshui, “Did you hand up that news said in a report?”

Ruoshui shook her head, following which she nodded her head and said, “I did have some information! I chose them out, but you kicked them all away.”

Whilst speaking she took out a few beast leather with words written on them, “Yesterday since morning there has been many people spreading rumors. I searched for long but was unable to notice their tracks. I only know that there is an ascended ancestor or day wandering spirit master involved.”

When Zong Shou took the beast leather, he saw that it was still news regarding Yunxia and Blazing Flame mountain.

“...Yesterday Yunxia Mountain city lord Feng Nu suddenly burst out laughing in his reading room. He said that they were just rumors and shouldn’t be believed. That Gantian Mountain kid thought that by spreading such rumors he could become an expert? The only people deserving of respect in Gantian Mountain are just Hu Qianqiu, Zong Gang, Qiu Wei, and Zong Yuan. With these few people helping, any idiot can become Gantian Mountain city lord.”

“Blazing Flame Mountain city lord Xiong Ba since waking up has debated with many elders of the race. They once said that the Zong Shou matter cannot be believed. The rumors are too exaggerated. It seemed like his attitude has relaxed and has plans of giving up on princess Xuan Yu and select another ruler.”

Zong Shou smiled before tearing the beast leather into shreds without any hesitation.

If there was an ascended ancestor involved, then it most probably came from the hands of Leidong and Zhao Yanran.

What a good plan. They were mixing the rumors, adding in true and fake news together and then add some more exaggerated ones. As such, it could cause this whole situation to settle down. He underestimated them.

However, the previous rumors were okay. He wouldn’t die over them.

...But liking guys... That was something he really couldn’t bear.

He didn’t hesitate, directly walking towards Shili Ling Xiangding.

Before he went down the mountain he had asked for directions from a guard. He could see it from the Gantian Mountain peak. It was not far away from the foot of the mountain, where many lanterns hung about. In the night time, it started to get busier.

This place was said to be Shili 10 miles but it was more than 10 miles of land. There were also the 300 brothels that were mentioned in the document.

He guessed that the 300 brothels mentioned were just those that were of a larger scale.

He asked people and they said that out of the 300, there were 3 that were outstanding.

One of them was the Quiet Cloud Pavilion, not only were the girls the prettiest, but there were also a few who came from the Zhongtu Cloud Continent who were good at instruments, chess, books, and drawing. They were all delicate and cute, really well informed and well-read. As such, the girls there were sought after.

Along the way, Zong Shou saw all the females in thick makeup on the buildings on both sides of the road inviting guests over to them.

With his xiantian realm listening ability, all he heard were those obscene words, laughs, and smiles. Occasionally he could see people hugging on the streets and the buildings, flirting with one another.

Chuxue’s face flushed, not knowing where she should look. Whereas Ruoshui didn’t mind at all. On the contrary, she was observing interestingly.

Especially when she saw those scenes of people making out like she was thinking what difference there was between that and when Zong Shou was curing her injury.

Zong Shou came from the future so he these scenes weren’t much in his eyes, instead, he felt a little disappointed.

They were all commonplace women, they couldn’t even be compared to one finger of Xuanyuan Yiren and Chuxue. If that quiet cloud pavilion was also that standard then he wouldn’t need to come any more in the future.

Within Gantian Mountain City, the water system spread about. When Zong Shou followed the directions of that poor guard which was already taught a lesson by Chuxue, he only felt that the environment had changed.

Although this place was the central portion of Shili Ling Xiangding, it was extremely silent like it was separated from the rest of the world.

The sides of the lake were planted with many willows, many bamboos shook in the wind. A few buildings were scattered around. The scene was otherworldly.

Zong Shou’s eyes instantly lit up. Thinking that the people who have designed this area were special.

Their taste was elegant and as such the girls within this Quiet Cloud Pavillion should be great.

Stepping a few steps in front, he heard the sound of the zither spreading over.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but stop in his tracks and listened closely. Only to feel extremely relaxed and clear, like a woman was whispering in his ear.

This sound is one’s ears helped to rejuvenate a person.

Even Chuxue couldn’t help but become quiet and listen closely.

Unfortunately, the zither sound had reached its end and in just a moment it had stopped. Zong Shou frowned, feeling slightly regretful. He quickened his footsteps towards where the zither sound came from. Not far away, a 5 story high building entered his eyes,

However, when he got close, several loud laughs broke out.

“What great zither skills! Miss Yunlan is so good, even a brute like me is entranced by it. Miss, please drink this glass of wine of mine which is my tribute to you.”

The voice was forthright, the aura was soul-stirring. However, at such a moment it felt a little too out of place.

Zong Shou thought to himself that this Miss Yunlan was the famous musician from the Zhongtu Cloud Continent.

As expected from someone who is praised by all. Your zither song can calm the soul. If a spirit master whose soul is damaged hears this sound, they would be cured.

This woman’s spiritual cultivation was extraordinary.

However, why did such a person come over to such a barbaric land as the Donglin Cloud Continent?

That’s right, and also why did this sound so familiar? Like it came from Hu Zhongyuan?

As expected, he heard another person say with disdain,” Hu Zhongyuan you should stop acting elegant. With your personality, how could you hear whether this zither music is good or bad?”

After Hu Zhongyuan heard that, he wasn’t annoyed, “What are you saying, although I am a brute and don’t know about such things, I can judge whether music is good or bad. Miss Yunlan’s zither skills are just better than others, making me immersed and forgetting about myself.”

In the building in the distance, a laugh broke out. Someone laugh as he asked, “Zhongyuan you have followed the ruler for many months, inches away from him and can be considered his right-hand man. Now that the ruler has taken the throne, I heard that he has already spent 2 days in Hanyan Palace. You lazy fellow am playing around here instead. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?”

“Tsk, what am I afraid of! I am stupid, how can I help.”

Hu Zhongyuan laughed out in a forthright manner, answering like he didn’t care at all, “Anyways the ruler also doesn’t know. He probably has no time to care about me now. Tomorrow I will just act well behaved in front of him.”

When Zong Shou heard that, he laughed coldly. If these people didn’t say it, he wouldn’t have remembered. These 2 days he has been busy from dusk to dawn in the reading room, not stopping for even a moment. As for Zhongyuan, he played around, drinking and playing with girls here. Wasn’t his life a little too comfortable?”

Just as he thought about in his heart about how to chide this fellow. Within the building, a mysterious laugh broke out.

“Oh right! There’s also another matter that others might not know but Hu Zhongyuan you will know. Outside they are saying that Zong Yuan and the ruler are close. You follow behind the prince so is that true? Does the ruler have interests of that nature?”

“Oh, that matter. Why are so many people asking that during these days? Anyways I didn’t personally see anything.”

Within this building, everyone sighed in disappointment. Hu Zhongyuan’s tone suddenly changed, his voice a little serious,” However let me tell you guys, the ruler’s relationship with him is, in fact, a little ambiguous at times. You all know that when the ruler met Zong Yuan for the 1st time he touched him all over his body? He also asked me to tie him up and hang him to a tree. At that time I felt fortunate that I look tough, although I am extremely handsome in Gantian Mountain City, I’m probably am not what the ruler likes.”
