Wanbao Lady

Chapter 306 I Have a Friend

In the Dangui Garden, the gods were enjoying the flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, eating osmanthus cakes, and chatting. It was a very lively place.

Some of those who have a good relationship even put their arms around each other and chat and laugh happily.

Only Murong Zhuo stood in an empty corner, looking at the branches above his head absent-mindedly.

From time to time, he looked in a certain direction unconsciously, with a hint of emotion on his face, but he finally took root.

I can only sigh silently.

At this moment, a gentle female voice came from my ear, "Why is Murong City God sighing here? Is there something wrong with our hospitality?"

Hearing this, he turned around and waved his hand immediately, "No, no, no, there is nothing wrong."

But the lady in front of him asked in confusion: "Why is Murong Chenghuang lamenting here alone?"

Murong Zhuo was stunned, and his mind was tangled for a while, then he slowly said: "I just saw many of my fellow practitioners chatting and laughing, and suddenly I remembered something."

He paused and said, "I have a friend who met someone. The two of them had met too late and appreciated each other, but because my friend accidentally did something wrong, it caused a tragedy for that person that was difficult to recover. But this was not my friend's intention. He wanted to apologize to that person and explain, but he felt so guilty that he couldn't face him, so he hesitated. Alas."

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the empress's face, but saw that her face was still calm and composed, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"It is really hard to bear that Murong Cheng Huang still cares about his friends at such a time."

Hearing the Empress' praise, Murong Zhuo felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bury himself with these osmanthus flowers. He could only nod awkwardly.

But the empress smiled slightly and said slowly: "In my opinion, the friend that Murong Chenghuang mentioned, in addition to feeling guilty, is more afraid that the other party will not accept his apology after he makes it clear, or even cause deeper harm to the other party, so he is hesitant. I wonder if I am right or not?"

Murong Zhuo's eyes immediately dodged, and he rubbed his fingers hidden in his sleeves unconsciously, and said awkwardly: "It should be... right..."

Chongfan laughed and shook his head, "But if you don't take that step, how can you know what the result will be?"

As she spoke, she walked forward slowly, and Murong Zhuo followed her. "Whether to apologize or not is up to the City God's friends, and whether to accept or not is up to the injured person. Instead of keeping this matter in your heart all day, it is better to speak out boldly. No matter what the result is, you will not regret it in your heart. Perhaps the other party has been waiting for this belated apology and the truth?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Murong Zhuo on the spot.

That person...has been waiting for this apology and the truth...?

His mind was in turmoil and his eyes were staring blankly at the ground.

At this moment, a palm-sized osmanthus branch suddenly appeared in front of him.

There were clusters of golden flower buds growing on the cassia branches, which were small and cute, and were floating right in front of his eyes.

The queen's voice floated in his ears like the breeze, "Hurting others is like a thorn in the flesh. Over time, it will only bury deeper and deeper. Please ask the City God to pass this branch of osmanthus to that friend. Even if he is not here, we can still enjoy this flower together."

As she spoke, the empress nodded slightly in greeting and then slowly walked away.

Murong Zhuo was left staring blankly at the branch in his hand, and then his hand holding the branch couldn't help but tighten slightly.

-

the other side.

Qi Sheng, who was enjoying the flowers and drinking with Shentuo and Luo Cheng'an, was also absent-minded.

Various thoughts are intertwined in my mind.

Why did your Majesty invite that person as well?

Does he want me to take this opportunity to ask that person for an explanation?

But so much time has passed, and that person is now the City God of a prefecture. Does he still remember this incident?

I'm afraid he had forgotten it a long time ago! If not, why did he look away as soon as he saw me?

Not even a greeting!

But after so many years, he has become so old! Time really spares no one...

Why was he alone in a corner admiring the flowers? Was there no one he knew there?

Eh? The Queen came over... What did the Queen say to him?

Oh no, the queen is coming...

Qi Sheng immediately looked away and pretended to be immersed in appreciating the flowers and drinking.

But he didn't see the two people next to him smiling at each other secretly.

"Does this osmanthus wine suit your taste?"

After hearing what the queen said, the three of them immediately turned around and bowed.

Shen Tuo held up the wine glass in his hand and smiled heartily, "This wine has a strong osmanthus fragrance. It leaves a lingering fragrance on your teeth. It's very good!"

Then he heard Luo Cheng'an laugh and say, "The wine of the Immortal Palace is just like this, a rare fine wine in the world!"

Qi Sheng also nodded repeatedly, "With this garden full of osmanthus flowers as the scenery, and with people of high moral character as the company, drinking this cup to the full should be a great blessing in life! Hahaha!"

The queen just smiled and nodded, "As long as you like it."

Seeing that the Queen went to talk to other gods, Qi Sheng felt a little relieved.

I hope I wasn't discovered...

After that, at the flower-viewing party, all the gods showed their talents. Those who were good at martial arts would dance with swords to liven up the atmosphere; those who were good at literature would recite poems and compose couplets; those who were good at singing would sing a song to the flowers; and those who were good at talking would exchange their experiences in catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits or practicing.

There were also activities such as pitching pots, burning incense, and arranging flowers. The whole Dangui Garden was filled with constant laughter and was extremely lively.

The flower viewing party ended at Youshi, but Murong Zhuo and Qi Sheng both took root and hesitated to leave, just watching the gods and the goddess say goodbye.

Of course, there were two other people who had not left like them, they were Luo Chengan and Shen Tuo.

"Hahaha, thank you for your hospitality, Yang will take his leave!"

"It's getting late, Fu will say goodbye now!"

"Xu takes his leave!"

......

As the city gods, land gods, mountain gods and river gods left one by one, the only people left on the scene were the people from Yudu Mountain and Murong Zhuo and Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng was conflicted and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by someone behind him.

"Qi...Brother Qi...please stay..."

Qi Sheng clenched his fists, his mind filled with mixed thoughts.

But what followed was a secret expectation.

Chong Fan, who had sent the others away, heard the words behind him and a look of relief flashed across his face. He was about to leave when he was stopped by Murong Zhuo.

"Your Majesty, please stay! If it weren't for your invitation, I'm afraid Zhuo would not have had this opportunity to meet Brother Qi. Please be a witness to what is to come."

Hearing this, Chongfan agreed.

So he turned around.

However, Murong Zhuo's old face flashed with trepidation, and he recalled the past in his eyes and said slowly: "In my life, I have helped countless people, but there is only one person who I cannot let down."

After he finished speaking, Qi Sheng's shoulders shook slightly.

"I regretted it all day long, but the person was gone and there was nothing I could do. Later I learned that he had turned into a ghost in the mountains, wandering around in a daze all day long. I felt so guilty that I couldn't face him, so I found a top-notch ghost cultivation manual and ordered my subordinates to take him to the mountains."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Sheng was shocked and his eyes were full of disbelief.
