Chapter 322 Severity
"Yes." Several women answered in unison. After receiving Zhang Liang's order, they all stood up.
"Raise your head." Zhang Liang looked at the person in front of him and said majestically.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he would face it calmly. Zhang Liang could also take this opportunity to take a closer look at the true appearance of the woman in yellow.
Hearing this, several women raised their heads, but Zhang Liang's eyes remained on the woman in yellow.
"What's your name?" Zhang Liang lifted up the face of the woman in yellow and asked.
"My name is Jiufeng." The woman in yellow opened her thin lips slightly.
"Jiufeng?" Zhang Liang looked at Jiufeng and said with interest.
"Then you are all my concubines?" Zhang Liang noticed that the first word Jiufeng said was "concubine", and naturally guessed the identities of the others.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several women spoke at the same time.
As expected, these beautiful women were all his concubines. This master can really collect beauties from all over the world...
"You guys continue to enjoy the beauty of this city," Zhang Liang said to the female friends around him, and then pointed to Jiufeng, "You, come with me."
"Okay." Jiufeng looked calm and followed Zhang Liang.
They soon came to a quiet street corner, and Zhang Liang stopped and faced Jiufeng.
“Who are you?” Having been in the urban power center for a long time, his words naturally carried the aura of a leader.
"I am Jiufeng." Jiufeng's eyes were soft, meeting Zhang Liang's cold gaze, and she answered slowly.
"What's the matter with the phoenix tattoo on your forehead?" Zhang Liang's intuition told him that Jiufeng was no simple matter, and perhaps she knew something about this mysterious challenge.
"This phoenix mark was given to me when I was born." Jiufeng responded softly.
"Do you know that this is the eighth level of the 'Urban Trial'?" Seeing Jiu Feng avoiding the question, Zhang Liang asked directly without beating around the bush.
He was already certain that Jiu Feng knew everything about the trial, and this intuition needed no reason.
"I know." Jiufeng looked at Zhang Liang with a subtle smile in her eyes.
"Then you should also know that I am the challenger, right?" Zhang Liang asked. Jiufeng's silence made him a little unhappy.
“Of course I do.”
"Okay, in that case, tell me, where is the guardian of the trial?" Zhang Liang was impatient with Jiufeng's attitude, and his tone became tough.
"Puchi~ Guardian?" Jiufeng chuckled with her hands covering her mouth as if she had heard something funny.
"Isn't it funny?" Zhang Liang raised his right hand and placed it on Jiufeng's shoulder. There was true energy hidden in his palm, and Jiufeng felt the pressure.
Jiufeng calmed herself down, coughed lightly, calmed her breathing, looked at Zhang Liang again, and remained silent for a long time.
"Don't try to play any tricks, just tell me the truth!" Zhang Liang increased his strength and put his hands on Jiufeng's shoulders.
He thought that this action would cause Jiu Feng to react, or at least force her to kneel down, but Jiu Feng still stood still, seemingly not afraid of him at all.
Zhang Liang withdrew his hand, and seeing that soft tactics didn't work, he prepared to use his strength to force Jiufeng to speak.
Jiufeng patted the clothes that were wrinkled by Zhang Liang, and just as he was about to take action, she spoke.
"Now, do you still want to leave here?" Jiufeng's voice was gentle and seductive.
Zhang Liang was a little confused by her words. As a challenger, coming to the urban trial, isn't it to defeat the guardian, pass the nine levels as quickly as possible, and obtain the inheritance of the urban king?
"Of course I do. Don't think you can play with me!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Liang had already drawn out the Xuanyuan Sword and held it in his right hand.
Jiufeng didn't care about Zhang Liang's murderous intent at all and continued speaking calmly.
"Look, you are the king here, you have no competitors, and the six major cities are under your control. You have wealth, power, and status. Ask yourself, do you really want to leave?" Jiufeng approached Zhang Liang and gently tapped his chest with her fingers.
Jiufeng's words pierced Zhang Liang's heart like a needle. She was right. He could do anything here, but when he got out, he would have to face the chaos in the seven cities.
This made Zhang Liang fall into deep thought. Jiufeng was very satisfied to see his expression. She knelt slightly and said, "I will take my leave first."
Zhang Liang, immersed in his thoughts, did not notice Jiu Feng leaving. He just stood there, thinking about her words.
"Your Majesty, it's time to deal with government affairs." The assistant beside him reminded Zhang Liang, and only then did he come back to his senses.
"Okay, let's go back to the palace." Zhang Liang turned and walked towards the study and began to review documents.
Even in the study, Zhang Liang couldn't concentrate and was struggling internally over whether to leave this state.
If he leaves, nothing may change much, and he will have to endure more hard work; if he doesn't leave, he is already at the top and won't have to work hard anymore.
Zhang Liang put this issue aside for the time being and decided to enjoy every day here first and make a decision after he calmed down.
Feiyu still goes out to play every day, which gives Zhang Liang a headache, but he is helpless.
It was not until one day when the guards reported that Feiyu had not returned home at night that Zhang Liang realized the seriousness of the problem.
Feiyu is only ten years old. If he doesn't study, there will be problems in the future. Many people in the court are watching him and Feiyu. If Feiyu continues like this, he may become the target of bad people. Even if he has blood inheritance, he may not be able to fight against those powerful people if he is abandoned for a long time.
