The Great Dream God

Princess Ziyang shook her head gently, and her cascading hair swayed slightly. Her eyes revealed great determination and confidence, just like the bright stars in the night sky, shining brightly: "This is called buying a horse's bones with a lot of money! Elder Situ, if you are willing to support me, I will do my best to fight for you for the seat of the five elders of the nursing home! Not only that, I will also build a large-scale manor for you, the four groups of elders. That manor will be extremely spectacular, and its area will be at least twice as large as this manor! There are pavilions and towers in it, and flowers are in full bloom in the garden, and it is like spring all year round. Every building will be carefully designed to highlight your noble status." After that, she stared at Elder Situ with burning eyes, her eyes full of expectation, as if waiting for an answer that would satisfy her.

Elder Situ remained silent. He just looked at the confident Princess Ziyang in front of him. His eyes were deep and complex, like an endless abyss, making it difficult to see the true emotions in them. After a long while, he slowly said, "That's my brother! Do you want to bribe me to betray him?" There was a hint of hesitation and struggle in his words, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, full of contradictions and pain.

Princess Ziyang smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, warm and a little mysterious. She seemed to have expected Elder Situ to react like this, and she said slowly, "Oh? What does Elder Situ think?" There was a hint of provocation in her tone, as if she was testing Elder Situ's bottom line.

Elder Situ pondered for a moment, his brows knitted, the wrinkles on his forehead like the ravines of time, deep and solemn. He seemed to have made a great decision, and then said, "It will cost more!" These three words came out of his mouth, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

After hearing this, Princess Ziyang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Her laughter was clear and melodious, echoing in the empty room. She looked back at her subordinates and said proudly, "Hahaha! It seems that our action today was still very smooth! He who knows the times is a hero! Then Elder Situ is the greatest hero!" Her subordinates also laughed, and the whole room was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Elder Situ and Princess Ziyang exchanged a few more words. During this brief exchange, Elder Situ's eyes sometimes flashed with hesitation, and sometimes revealed firmness, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts. His eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking about something. Sometimes he looked at Princess Ziyang, and sometimes he looked into the distance, and his eyes seemed to hide countless secrets.

"Princess, your conditions are indeed tempting, but this matter is of no trivial importance. I need time to consider it." Elder Situ said slowly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Princess Ziyang nodded slightly and said, "Elder Situ, I understand your concerns. But you should know that this is a rare opportunity. As long as you support me, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

Elder Situ was silent for a moment, then said, "Princess, I can promise you, but you must ensure that you can fulfill your promise."

Princess Ziyang smiled and said, "Elder Situ, don't worry, I, Princess Ziyang, always keep my word."

Elder Situ took a deep breath and said, "Well, from now on, I am willing to support the princess."

Princess Ziyang showed a satisfied smile on her face. She said, "Okay, Elder Situ, your choice is wise. I believe that with our joint efforts, we will be able to achieve our goal."

Afterwards, Princess Ziyang left the manor with a satisfied smile. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, like a blooming flower, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Only Elder Situ was left standing alone, his figure seemed particularly small in the empty manor.

Elder Situ stared into the distance quietly, his eyes deep and far-reaching, as if he had crossed the barriers of time and space, and his thoughts seemed to drift to a distant place. There was a hint of confusion and contemplation in his eyes, as if he was recalling something, and seemed to be thinking about the direction of the future.

At this time, in the dark of the manor, Meng Jin and Zhang Tianlong had already quietly arrived. They carefully concealed their figures and their eyes were fixed on Elder Situ. The air around them seemed to become heavy because of their nervousness.

Meng Jin lowered his voice and said, "It seems that he has been bribed!" His voice was full of disappointment and worry, and his eyes also revealed a trace of helplessness and anger. He looked at Elder Situ's back, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

Zhang Tianlong's eyes were full of determination, and he retorted without hesitation: "He is my friend, how could he be bribed! I will go over and tell him now!" His tone was firm, and his eyes were full of trust in Elder Situ. He firmly believed that his friend would not betray them.

Meng Jin quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Tianlong, anxiously saying, "Are you crazy? Will you be exposed if you go over now?" His face became very nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that rash actions at this time might bring unexpected consequences.

Zhang Tianlong said firmly: "Situ will never be bribed! He is my friend, Princess Ziyang cannot bribe him! He is definitely pretending!" After saying that, he shook off Meng Jin's hand that was grabbing his shoulder and walked forward without hesitation. His steps were firm and powerful, as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Tianlong came to Elder Situ. Elder Situ was stunned when he saw Zhang Tianlong suddenly appear. His eyes widened, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Brother, you are not dead!" There was a hint of surprise and panic in his voice, as if he did not expect Zhang Tianlong to suddenly appear here.

Zhang Tianlong stared at Elder Situ closely, his eyes as sharp as torches, and said in a serious tone: "Help me! Get back what belongs to us!" That firm tone seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles. His eyes were full of firmness and determination. It was an unquestionable power that made people unable to refuse.

Zhang Tianlong's body was as straight as a pine tree, like an unshakable mountain. His fists clenched unconsciously, and his veins bulged, showing his inner determination. He knew that this road was full of difficulties and obstacles, but his faith had never wavered. He believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to take back what belonged to them, that is, their dignity, their honor, and their future.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. It was Meng Jin. His face was filled with helplessness and fatigue, and his eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions. He looked at Elder Situ, sighed and said, "Hello, Elder Situ!" There was a hint of helplessness and emotion in his voice, as if he felt powerless about the situation in front of him.

Meng Jin's eyes showed both doubts about Elder Situ and concerns about their future. He didn't know if Elder Situ could really stand with them and face the upcoming challenges together. He also didn't know where their future would go and whether they could successfully take back what belonged to them. However, he knew that they had no way out and could only move forward courageously.

Elder Situ looked at Zhang Tianlong and Meng Jin in front of him, his heart filled with guilt.
