Chapter 136.2

Feng Shao asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Deng Jingyun explained, “Although the Qiankun Palace disappeared in ancient times, it still reappears in the world every hundred years. Every time it reappears, it is a great opportunity for the world. It’s just that the Qiankun Palace is, after all, listed as one of the top ten forbidden places, and there has been no one who survived and came out after entering. I have no confidence that I can come out alive after entering, so I have something I want to ask brother Feng.”

“Wait!” Feng Shao asked hastily, “You said you were going to enter the Qiankun Palace? Could it be that the date of the hundred-year reappearance of the Qiankun Palace is coming soon?”

Deng Jingyun showed surprise on his face but still explained, “The twentieth day of the ninth month next year will be the day when Qiankun Palace will reappear, brother Feng, didn’t you know?”

Feng Shao shook his head and smiled wryly, “I really didn’t know.”

Feng Shao knows Qiankun Palace very well, but what he knows is all secrets that are not known to the public. On the contrary, it was the first time Feng Shao had heard of this supposedly well-known situation.

However, he did know that Qiankun Palace was listed as one of the top ten forbidden places.

Feng Shao couldn’t help asking again, “Why is Brother Deng so sure that there is a way to break the curse in this Qiankun Palace?”

Deng Jingyun shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, I’m just going in to try my luck. After all, the Qiankun Palace was the most powerful force in ancient times, and it once collected all the secret books in the world. Perhaps among the secret books of the Qiankun Palace, there is something that can break the curse of my family.”

Feng Shao’s heart was moved, but on the surface, he asked calmly, “Then I don’t know what brother Deng is planning to ask me to do?”

Deng Jingyun sighed, with a sentimental expression on his face, “In two years, my father will also die of the curse. If I can’t come back from Qiankun Palace, then there will only be my sister left in the Deng family. She is innocent and kind, and she doesn’t know that people’s hearts are sinister, so I know she can’t keep Qianyun City’s foundation. Not only that, but this foundation will also bring disaster to her.”

After speaking, Deng Jingyun looked Feng Shao in the eye and said sincerely, “Brother Feng, my sister is my most important relative. My only wish is to hope that she can spend her life happily. My sister is beautiful, and brother Feng, I’m not giving up and still wish that brother Feng would marry my sister. As for Qianyun City, it will be given to brother Feng as a dowry for my sister!”

Feng Shao was taken aback by the sudden and unexpected change in topic. He quickly waved his hands and said: “No way! I already have my own Ran’er in my heart. If brother Deng entrusts his own sister to tme, wouldn’t it be wronging you sister? There are many good men in this world, why don’t brother Deng think about it more for your sister? Also, what about your sister’s thoughts about you looking for a husband for her?”

Deng Jingyun shook his head and said, “Brother Feng, you don’t know it, but this matter is quite embarrassing. There are countless people in Dongzhou coveting my Deng family’s foundation. It’s really difficult for me to distinguish those who are willing to treat my sister well and those who are only interested in my Deng family’s foundation. Even so. There are those who are willing to treat my sister kindly, but most of them are not strong enough to keep this inheritance. Instead, they will only cause more trouble.

“If it is a disciple of a big sect or a great family, it is more likely that they will take the opportunity to annex my Deng family’s everything. The annexation of the foundation is a small matter, but at that time, when my sister had no relatives and no one to rely on, how can I rest assured?”

Feng Shao immediately understood what Deng Jingyun was worried about.

Qianyun City can be regarded as a big piece of meat for many forces. Once the Deng family’s father and son die one after another, these forces will inevitably be ready to move.

But although the meat is big enough, no one wants to share it with others.

Then the best way to monopolize this big meat is to take down the only remaining seedling of the Deng family, which is Deng Jingyun’s little sister.

In this way, they will have the flag of righteous ownership. If other forces that covet Qianyun City still want to lay their hands on Qianyun City, they will no longer be reasonable.

If they still insist on making another move, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction and resentment from other forces.

Although ‘The Weak are Prey to the Strong’ in this fantasy cultivation world, the stronger the strength, the more they care about justification and face. People who want face can’t do things that are shameful or things that will make them lose face. Even if they want to do it in the end, they have to come and do such things with great secrecy.

So at this time, Deng Jingyun’s little sister has become the key to opening the treasure chest named Qianyun City, and she will inevitably become a tool to be manipulated by others.

Feng Shao could understand Deng Jingyun’s concerns. But when Deng Jingyun came to him for his concerns, he couldn’t understand his reasoning.

Feng Shao showed a strange look and asked, “Then are saying you can trust me? If I guessed right, brother Deng has only met me for the first time more than ten days ago, right? Aren’t you afraid that I will take advantage of your younger sister?”

But Deng Jingyun laughed and replied, “To be honest, I don’t trust brother Feng at all, but I trust the vision of the pavilion master of Yunjian Pavilion and the hall master of Xiaoyao Hall. People who can be recognized by them must have no problem with their character.”

Feng Shao sighed, “Brother Deng is giving me too much praise. However, I already have a fiance, and I don’t want to marry another woman. I can only ask you, brother Deng, to find someone else!”

Deng Jingyun sighed, and said, “If it’s really not possible for brother Feng and my sister to be called husband and wife, that’s fine. As a big brother, I only hope that she will be safe and sound, and I really have nothing else to ask for.”

Feng Shao shook his head and said, “Brother Deng, why are you being so pessimistic? Maybe you can find a turning point and things will turn around?”

Deng Jingyun smiled and said, “I’m thankful that Brother Feng said so auspiciously. It’s just that there has been no turning point in the past thousand years, and I don’t expect much from myself. As for my suggestion, please think carefully about it, and don’t reject it so quickly.”

Feng Shao smiled wryly and said, “Brother Deng’s painstaking efforts are admirable. It’s just this matter… well, it’s really embarrassing for me. But with the matter of Qiankun Palace, maybe I can help you a little bit.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Deng Jingyun asked curiously, “What does brother Feng mean?”

Feng Shao said seriously, “Next year, on the twentieth day of the ninth month, when the Qiankun Palace reappears in the world, I can go to the Qiankun Palace with brother Deng!”
