Immortal Travel of Longevity

Yan Nantian thought it a pity; no matter how he looked at it, Chen Changsheng was the most suitable candidate.

"Do you know any Immortal Practitioners?"

Yan Nantian asked.

Ruyi blinked and said, "I was just a wanderer in the jianghu back in my early years. How would I know any Immortal Practitioners?"

She paused for a moment and added, "But what exactly is the matter, that you're in such a rush you'd leave the palace to find me?"

Yan Nantian made up an excuse, saying, "The celestial phenomena have drastically changed, and my heart is uneasy."

Ruyi didn't quite understand. She thought for a moment before saying, "Back when I was in Water's End City, I met a female cultivator with extraordinary abilities. You could try looking for her."

"May I ask her name?"

"Mister Chen called her Du Aniang. She ran a Wine Tavern in Water's End City back then, and all the jianghu wanderers there knew her. I don't know how she's doing now, though."

"Mm. Drop my name; it'll work."

Yan Nantian gave a helpless smile. Seeing Ruyi's bandit-like swagger, he couldn't help but say, "Then I must thank you, great heroine."

Ruyi waved her hand. "You're too polite. Just reward me with ten or eight million silver taels later, and we'll be good."

It was naturally a joke.

However, after returning to the palace, Yan Nantian still had someone deliver a hundred thousand silver taels.

Claiming the Commandery Princess Manor was inevitably a bit too shabby, he also sent over some servants. Most were from the palace and thoroughly well-mannered.

With this, the Commandery Princess Manor became lively.

Ruyi felt it was a bit of a waste. With only her and Dong Chiyu in the manor, how could they possibly use so many servants?

"A hundred thousand taels. He really is rich."

Ruyi didn't stand on ceremony, however, and simply accepted the money.

Seeing this, Dong Chiyu stretched lazily and said, "His Majesty also rewarded us with two cooks. I won't have to make meals anymore."

"Makes life easier, doesn't it?"

"The manor's gotten lively..."

Dong Chiyu murmured, and soon drifted off to sleep.

It was probably the comfortable evening breeze making her drowsy.

Seeing this, Ruyi fetched a blanket, draped it over her, and simply stayed by her side to keep her company.

Occasionally, she glanced over and noticed white hairs mixed into Dong Chiyu's hair. This girl was getting older too...

She was already growing white hair.

Time spared no one.

Yan Nantian planned to find someone else, picking out a few candidates from the roster.

But that very night, he encountered something strange.

The squeaking of rats echoed from the Imperial Study.

Yan Nantian frowned.

"What are they all good for? There are rats in the Imperial Study!"

Yan Nantian scolded, but heard no response.

He paused and looked up.

He immediately froze.

The surrounding servants just stood to the side, looking as if they hadn't heard his words at all.

"Are you all deaf?" Yan Nantian snapped.

Yet the servants still showed no reaction.

He stared blankly, not understanding what was going on.

But a moment later, he heard approaching footsteps.

His heart gave a jolt. He looked up.

A man dressed in a green shirt had silently appeared before him.

Yan Nantian's eyes widened. Then, he heard the man speak: "I heard that His Majesty is currently looking for This Chen?"

Yan Nantian abruptly snapped back to his senses.

He looked left and right, only to see that the surrounding servants and eunuchs acted as if they hadn't seen a thing.

After a brief moment of panic, Yan Nantian sobered up a bit.

"You are..."

Seeing this appearance and attire, Yan Nantian was reminded of the records in the roster.

Often wearing a green shirt...

"Are you Chen Changsheng, Mister Chen?"

'Chen Changsheng' gave a gentle smile and cupped his hands. "I am indeed This Chen."

Yan Nantian immediately stood up and went to greet him.

"I didn't know Mister Chen was actually in Shangjing City. I thought you were far away at the edge of the world; I never expected you to be right before my eyes."

'Chen Changsheng' replied, "His Majesty is too polite."

Yan Nantian said, "Mister Chen's name shakes the world. Meeting you today, you truly live up to your reputation. You truly possess immortal wind and dao bones, a true Immortal Practitioner. Please, Mister, have a seat."

'Chen Changsheng' waved his hand. "There is no need for such trouble. This Chen was merely curious as to why Your Majesty is looking for me, to the point of even seeking out Ruyi."

Yan Nantian glanced left and right, noting that all the servants still showed no reaction.

"They..."

'Chen Changsheng' explained, "I used Divine Abilities to temporarily suppress them. No one else will know what passes between the two of us."

"So that's how it is. Mister Chen truly possesses vast supernatural powers."

"Therefore, His Majesty may speak frankly."

Yan Nantian hesitated. After some thought, he said, "I must ask Mister to come with me to see someone."

'Chen Changsheng' thought it over and nodded. "Please lead the way, Your Majesty."

Yan Nantian led 'Chen Changsheng' toward the Cold Palace, stopping only when they met Wang Yingying, who was cultivating quietly within.

When Wang Yingying saw the person before her, her heart skipped a beat.

"Wang Yingying greets Mister Chen, greets Your Majesty."

'Chen Changsheng' stared blankly at Wang Yingying at first, then smiled. "There's no need for such formalities."

Only then did Yan Nantian feel reassured. From the looks of it, this person really was Mister Chen. There could be no mistake.

Looking at the man in front of her, Wang Yingying suddenly felt that something was strange.

She couldn't shake the feeling that the person before her was slightly different from the one in her memories, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Probing him, Wang Yingying said, "Mister Chen, my father has missed you for a long time. You once said you liked our family's Hundred-Fragrance Noodles, so the shop often sets a bowl aside for you. I wonder when Mister might return to taste it again?"

Chen Changsheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't your father pass away a long time ago?"

Wang Yingying said, "My father did pass away, but the noodle shop has reopened."

"That is an excellent thing. If the opportunity arises, This Chen will definitely return to try them."

"Mm."

Hearing this, Wang Yingying finally dispelled the doubts in her heart.

She gave Yan Nantian a look, and the two of them relaxed.

Yan Nantian said, "Go ahead and explain it to Mister Chen."

Stepping forward, Wang Yingying began to explain to 'Chen Changsheng' what they intended to do.

After listening, 'Chen Changsheng' seemed to fall deep into thought.

Neither Yan Nantian nor Wang Yingying dared to interrupt; they were both a bit anxious to see if their idea was flawed.

A moment later, 'Chen Changsheng' looked up and said, "This method is indeed clever. It might just work."

Excitement surged in Yan Nantian's heart. "Does Mister truly mean that?"

'Chen Changsheng' smiled. "His Majesty need not get too excited. With all methods in this world, the results are hard to know until they are put to the test. This Chen merely said it might work."

Yan Nantian smiled. "If Mister says it can work, then it should be fine."

He paused and added, "I wonder if Mister would be willing to lend me a helping hand?"

'Chen Changsheng' shook his head. "Those of us in Cultivation consider meddling in imperial family matters a great taboo. This Chen does not wish to get involved in this affair."

"However, His Majesty's heart is indeed resolute. To seek an alternative path amidst this boundless Heavenly Dao shows that His Majesty possesses excellent comprehension. This Chen is also willing to form a good karmic tie and draw a Heaven and Earth Grand Formation for His Majesty, in order to gather the national fortune."

Yan Nantian was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands. "I will never forget Mister's great kindness for the rest of my days!"
