The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Zixuan helped Zishun distribute three days' worth of food in Yuncheng County.

Seeing that nothing unexpected happened, he immediately teleported to the general's mansion in Qufu Zixu.

The two were surprised and delighted to see their parents descend from the sky: "Daddy! Mommy, you're here!"

Zixuan smiled and nodded, then bent down and picked up the little boy, "Tsk tsk! Look at my big fat grandson, he's grown taller again!"

Ziye hurried over and snuggled into her arms, acting like a spoiled child: "Mother only has her grandson in her eyes, she doesn't even love her daughter anymore."

Zixuan pinched his daughter's pretty face and asked, "How could that be?"

"Ziye looks the most like mother, how could mother not feel pain?"

Bo Yuan took his grandson in and kissed him on the cheek: "My dear grandson, you've grown up so much! You miss grandpa so much! Boo boo boo!"

Ziji's pink little face was pricked by Boyuan's beard and he hid back: "Mom! Grandpa's beard pricks me."

Bo Yuan looked at his grandson's adorable appearance and laughed heartily...

The family was chatting animatedly when the doorman came to report that Sect Leader Shusun wanted to see them.

Zixu looked at Zixuan and asked, "Mother, would you like to step aside for a moment?"

Zixuan waved his hand: "Why are you avoiding me? Mother is not here to steal!"

The couple chuckled, and Zixu immediately ordered the doorman to invite Zhaozi here.

When Shusun Zhaozi saw Zixuan, he asked in confusion, "Sir, who is this beautiful girl..."

Zixu smiled awkwardly: "Master, this is my mother, the City Lord Zixuan of Fugui City!"

"Huh?" Zhaozi opened her mouth in surprise, unable to close it for a long time.

"Your mother? Really your mother? Sir, you are not kidding!"

"Haha, Master Shusun, when has Zixu ever joked with you? You're really my mother!"

Zhaozi finally came to his senses and bowed deeply to Zixuan: "Junior Shusun Zhaozi greets City Lord Zixuan!"

Zixuan looked at Zhaozi, who looked about 70% like Shusun Bao, and hurriedly supported him with his hand: "Master Shusun, please stand up without formalities."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the son of Shangqing Shusun Bao?"

"It's me, the younger generation! I wonder how my father is doing in Fugui City?"

Zixuan looked at Zixu and wondered, how did Zhaozi know that Shusun Bao did not die in Fugui City?

Zixu understood what his mother meant and hurriedly explained, "Mother."

"My son has already told Zhaozi about rescuing Lord Shangqing, but Zhaozi will not tell anyone."

Shusun Zhaozi also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! In the whole state of Lu, only the prince and the princess know about this!"

"My father's life has been recorded in history. I will not bring about my own destruction and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor by telling others that my father had faked his death."

Zixuan nodded: "As long as you understand the interests involved!"

Zixu asked Zhaozi to sit down and asked, "Master, you are visiting me today. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

"Sir, I'm here on the king's orders to invite you to go hunting in Qiushan tomorrow. Is that convenient?"

This... He looked at his mother and said, "Please tell the king."

"Just say that my mother is coming today and I can't accompany the king. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhaozi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, City Lord Zixuan has come all the way here, it's only right that you stay home with your mother, it's only right!"

After seeing off Shusun Zhaozi, Zixuan learned more about the political affairs of Lu State, and then went to bed to rest with Bo Yuan.

The next day, the two came to their villa in Lu State and found that it was cleaned spotlessly.

It didn't look like no one lived there at all, so she nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as they entered the living room, Zixu came in with Confucius: "Mother, this is the sage Confucius. I heard that you two are old acquaintances?"

Zixuan looked at Confucius in surprise. It had been more than 30 years since he last met Confucius.

Zixuan no longer recognized him: "Zhongni! Is it really you?"

Confucius also nodded excitedly: "King Zixuan! It is my student!"

"You! How did you get older?"

"King Zixuan, when I first met you, you were only sixteen years old, still a handsome young man. Now you are an old man with many children and grandchildren!"

"But what puzzles me is why King Zixuan hasn't changed at all and is still as brilliant and vigorous as he was back then."

Zixuan touched his delicate face. How should he answer?

Claiming to be immortal? His age was forever frozen at eighteen? That was impossible...

"Zhongni, I don't know why I'm like this. Maybe it has something to do with my mood."

"I feel happy every day and have long since become indifferent to everything in the world. Perhaps this is the reason."

"Oh oh! Maybe maybe, haha!"

So, the two of them exchanged greetings and walked into the living room. Zixuan took out some fruits, snacks and drinks from the space for him to taste.

Confucius was not unfamiliar with these things, as he often ate them when he was in Fugui City.

He opened a bottle of Coke and took a sip, then closed his eyes and savored the taste with a look of enjoyment: "Hmm, it still tastes like it did back then!"

Zixuan smiled and asked, "Zhongni, have you been living comfortably these past few years?"

Confucius sighed and said, "It was okay a few years ago."

"But since Duke Ding came to power, he has often had political disagreements with students, which has caused him to be depressed and unhappy."

"I am considering whether to take my disciples away and travel around the world to spread my political views and ideas."

Zixuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "Traveling around the countries is a good idea. I have also had this plan before."

"But now all the countries are suffering from famine, so it's not suitable for traveling."

"How about waiting until the disaster is over and then I can travel with you, sir? What do you think?"

"Really? That would be fantastic! Traveling around the world with King Zixuan will surely yield unique rewards!"

"Okay! It's settled! After the disaster, you and I will travel together and explore the world!"

They chatted about some topics of mutual concern, and Zixuan saw that it was almost noon.

He hurriedly used his spiritual sense to notify Boss Ji and asked the chef in the villa to prepare a table of delicious food and send it to the dining hall.

Half an hour later, a sumptuous lunch was served in the dining hall.

So, they moved to the dining hall and savored the delicious food slowly...

When Duke Ding of Lu heard the news that Zixuan had come to Qufu, he immediately sent someone to invite Zixuan to the palace for a banquet.

Zixuan readily agreed, as he also wanted to talk to Duke Ding of Lu about the matter of Yuncheng.

In the evening, Zixuan and his family came to the palace accompanied by the leader of the Three Huan clan.

Duke Ding of Lu looked at the young and handsome Zixuan and sighed in his heart.

How does she maintain herself so well? Her grandson is so old but still looks like a grown-up girl!

After the banquet, everyone dispersed and Duke Ding of Lu kept Zixuan and his wife to drink tea and chat.

After tea, Gezhan Zixuan said, "My Lord, a few days ago my son went to Yuncheng to help with the disaster relief."

"But County Magistrate Huang You schemed to seize over 10 million kilograms of disaster relief grain, intending to sell it at a high price for personal gain!"

"I do not tolerate any injustice in my eyes. I have punished this big borer on your behalf. Will your Majesty blame me?"

"What? How could such a thing happen? City Lord Zixuan should punish you well!"

"I can't express my gratitude enough, how could I blame you? If I had known earlier, I would have wiped out your entire clan!"

"Well! Then please send another governor over there. Yuncheng is currently without a leader."

"Okay! I'll send someone there!"

"Your Excellency is wise. Zixuan still has one thing he doesn't understand. Please enlighten me."

"I wonder what it is? City Lord Zixuan, please tell me."

"It's about Confucius, Kong Zhongni. Zhongni was a genius in the world."

"Zixuan doesn't understand why a great sage like him, with both virtue and talent, is not valued by the Lord?"
