After seeing off all the maids who came to congratulate Chen Qingming on his birthday, it was already evening.

Although according to Li Wanqing's arrangement, this private birthday party is best to last all night, because the truly exciting and exciting content is in the second half of the night.

But Chen Qingming is also a person who has read books after all. He knows very well what kind of storms and waves a woman would experience when she is lost if she spends a night with a carnivore system. This kind of thing has been described in books such as "Nine Colored Deer", which impressed Chen Qingming and couldn't sleep at night. Although Chen Qingming is now lost, she is not a mistake after all, and she doesn't want to be reborn so quickly.

So in the evening, Chen Qingming expressed his willingness to leave in a tactful manner. Li Wanqing was worthy of being the master of this great master who had seen all the prosperity. She did not force her to keep her, but ended the banquet very happily and dismissed the maid, which made Chen Qingming feel embarrassed.

Afterwards, Li Wanqing gave Qingming her birthday gift: a very exquisite blue necklace. The gems on the necklace are made of high-quality sword stones, with magical effects to assist the movement of sword energy, and the grade happens to be designed for monks in Yunyong Realm.

When Chen Qingming received the gift, his heart felt warm.

Although when you are with Sister Wanqing, you always feel uncomfortable with the occasional carnivorous atmosphere, in addition to this, Li Wanqing is really like a gentle spring breeze, making people feel comfortable all over.

Just over a month ago, Chen Qingming broke through to Yunyong Realm. Taking advantage of the explosion of the immovable dominance stance and the opportunity of physical tempering, her long-simmering true energy also underwent a qualitative change. The howling spirit in her body transformed into pieces of cape spiritual clouds and officially stepped into the barrier of Yunyong Realm.

For the daughter of the head of the Qingyun Li family, the cultivation level of Yunyong Realm is not worth mentioning, but for Chen Qingming, cultivating to Yunyong Realm at the age of 15 was something she dared not dream of, so now that her dream has come true, she actually hopes to celebrate with others, but she has never found an opportunity.

On the contrary, Li Wanqing noticed this carefully.

Therefore, when Chen Qingming put on the necklace and felt the mellow power in the sword stone, he even had the impulse to walk up and kiss Li Wanqing.

Fortunately, out of the instinct of biological survival, Chen Qingming successfully suppressed this irrational impulse and waved goodbye to Li Wanqing.

Leaving the Divine Sword Tower, Chen Qingming looked at Shen Cheng, who had just stepped on the lights outside the building. He was thinking of only one person in his mind. He didn't know where he was at this time.

Still in Shencheng? Or have you already embarked on a journey to Jinyu City? It shouldn't be so anxious. Even if you want to go to Jinyu City, wouldn't you notify No. 1 mount?

As she thought about it, the girl began to feel uneasy again.

"Ajiu... are you here?" In silence, Chen Qingming called Wang Jiu's name in his heart, but before she could get any response, she heard a noise not far away.

The sound came at the same time as it was noisy and suddenly interrupted the girl's meditation, making her feel angry, but the next moment, the chaotic voices came into her ears, arousing her curiosity.

“Press conference, there is a press conference!”

"Hurry, hurry up, right at the gate of the inner city, a big shocking event!"

"Call Lao Zhang and the others up too. If you miss it, you will be regretful for the rest of your life!"

"Old Li, Lao Li! Stop sleeping, go to the inner city gate to watch the big news!"

"The press conference hosted by the city lord himself! I have lived in Shencheng for more than 30 years, and this kind of thing has happened in the first place!"

Chen Qingming was surprised: The press conference hosted by the city lord?

Is it talking about Chen Yueying? It is indeed time to say that. After a month of hard work, the work of re-establishing diplomatic relations between Shencheng and Qingyun City was finally successfully completed. The main agreements have been signed, and the first batch of cooperation projects have officially begun to advance. If Lu Xin had not been to escape the official duties of Qingyun City, their group would have set off to return to Qingyun City.

However, this kind of thing cannot be delayed forever. Lu Xin's ostrich tactic will end one day. Could it be that Chen Yueying finally didn't want to use Shencheng's public funds to support Lu Xin, and decided to hold a press conference in advance to announce the results?

Chen Qingming was both angry and funny. The people of Shencheng were too stingy. With Lu Xin's small body, how much food can you eat? I worked overtime some time ago to work for you, but I didn't ask for overtime pay for you a few pieces of spirit stones. Now I actually used up the heroes of overtime to save food. I was simply inhumane!

While thinking, Chen Qingming walked towards the inner city with the crowd to see what this sudden press conference was going to do.

However, after walking not far, Chen Qingming was a little difficult to move forward, as if most of the people in the city were walking out of the door and gathering towards the inner city. The originally spacious roads in Shencheng were blocked by dense crowds. Chen Qingming jumped hard and looked around, feeling that there were no less than a thousand people gathering on the main street next to him. The scenes in other places were similar to this. So roughly estimate that there were probably more than 100,000 people on the streets of the entire city.

Such a terrifying crowd, any situation may cause hundreds of tramplings and casualties, but the people of Shencheng have a unique order, always maintaining crowds without chaos, but the order returns to order, and the city space is limited after all, and the crowds are surging for a while and they can no longer move forward and completely stagnate. Chen Qingming is mixed with it, and after waiting for a while, he feels impatient. So he simply gives full play to his figure advantage and shuttles around like a swimming fish in the gap between people.

In fact, as a cultivator in Yunyong Realm, Chen Qingming has theoretically had the foundation for flying, but after all, she has not had time to learn the immortal arts that Yunyong Realm should master, so she has a pure body of true energy but has no way to exert it. She can only endure the unhappiness in her heart and shorten her body and shuttle through the crowd.

After a while, Chen Qingming finally squeezed and came to the inner city gate.

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in the square in front of the inner city gate, squeezing every inch of space. There are hundreds of immortal cultivators who are flying immortals in the sky, staring at the gate of the inner city with anticipation.

The more Chen Qingming looked at it, the more he became suspicious. As for this big situation? The re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Shencheng and Qingyun City was a few months ago. Now that the press conference was held to announce the news, it was just a procedure. What is worth making such a fuss?

However, just as I was thinking, someone around me said, "I didn't expect the city lord to go into seclusion so quickly. I heard that he was expected to be shut down, but I thought he was going to retreat behind the scenes forever."

"Haha, the city lord is invincible in his life. What death level can he trap him? No matter how difficult the level is, he can easily break through the level. This is the Shen Ruoshi who is undefeated in the southeast for a hundred years!"

Chen Qingming suddenly realized that the city lord who people mentioned was not the new city lord Chen Yueying, but Chen Ruoshi.

Indeed, in the past few decades, Chen Ruoshi's reputation in Shencheng has been so high that when it comes to the city lord of Shencheng, everyone's first reaction is Chen Ruoshi. Although Chen Yueying has been the deputy city lord for nearly twenty years, her reputation is far from Ren Xiang before.

But the main problem now is... Chen Ruoshi suddenly held a press conference, what did he want to release?

With a hint of curiosity, Chen Qingming stood seriously in the front row of the crowd.

Soon, the gate of the inner city rumbled and opened. From it, the white-haired and black-clothed Shen Ruoshi floated up, standing ten feet high, looking down at the crowd in the square.

Tens of thousands of people were silent in the entire square, and everyone stared at the front, waiting for Chen Ruoshi to announce the important matters today.

Such a grand occasion is simply incredible.

However, for the people of Shencheng, facing the beloved city lord Chen Ruoshi, this is just the basic etiquette he deserves.

The silence did not last long. Chen Ruoshi pondered for a while, and then said, "Today, my former identity as the lord of the city is called here to gather everyone here. Something is announced."

Next, facing tens of thousands of breath-holding listeners, Chen Ruoshi said slowly.

"I am the Three Lives Stone."

"That's right, it's Sansheng Shi, the romance novelist whose work is best-selling in mainland China. That's another identity I have besides the Lord of Shencheng."

"Creating romance novels is my personal interest, and it is also a strong spiritual need arising from the entry of my inner demon into my body. Even if I have the ability to achieve enlightenment, it is difficult to save some regrets that happen in reality. I can only talk about comfort in the literary world."

"The identity of a romance writer is far from my usual image. I am very difficult to be proud of it, so I have never been willing to disclose my identity. Until a while ago, due to force majeure, my creation was forced to be interrupted. Some publishers in Shencheng planned to take this opportunity to steal my pseudonym and publish some shoddy works. I don't want the pseudonym I have been operating for many years to be abused, but I don't want this matter to be made public, so I let my subordinates burn the original jade plate. This is the fire dragon burning plate that was very popular some time ago. Unfortunately, my subordinates are not intimate in their work and have found clues. So in order to keep it secret, I let the people who may expose this matter disappear one by one... This is the so-called Shenyin."

"The above are all the things I want to make public to you today."

After Chen Ruoshi finished speaking, he looked at the tens of thousands of Shencheng people who had their three views collapsed. He hesitated for a moment and added: "In addition, I want to make a statement. Whether it is engaged in romance novels, the later Fire Dragon Burning Pan, or the Shenyin incident, it is just caused by my own selfishness. It has nothing to do with anyone else, and it is not that there are any hostile forces outside the city conspiring to frame them. After all, I am not a perfect city lord, or even a qualified one..."

However, before Chen Ruoshi's self-examination was over, he heard a soldier in Shencheng roaring indignation: "I knew that all this was a conspiracy of hostile forces outside the city!"

Chen Ruoshi was stunned for a moment, looked down at the soldier who dared to interrupt his speech. He was about to speak when he heard tsunami-like shouts coming from all directions.

"Yes, there must be a conspiracy!"

"The City Lord must have his own difficulties! He must be willing to slander himself for the sake of the overall situation!"

"Always support the city lord!"

"Down with hostile forces outside the city!"

"I think this must be a conspiracy in Jinyucheng!"

"Down with Jinyu City!"

"Capture Zhao Chenlu alive!"
Chapter completed!
