Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1008: The End of the Previous Era

”This point is no problem.” Chen Xi nodded and said, ”I will deliver the books to each aristocratic family’s residence.”

Chen Xi only mentioned the first step and did not talk about the second step. Others didn’t ask, not because they were curious, but because they couldn’t inquire. If Chen Xi didn’t want to answer, no one could get anything from him.

[After all, he is still an aristocratic family member, even if he is radical, he understands his origins. Sometimes weakening the aristocratic families is like weakening oneself, and weakening oneself is never a good thing.]

Sima Fang is also a smart person. After taking the books from Xun Shuang, he slightly thought about it and filled in the cause and effect. People’s ways of viewing things are always attached to their class, sometimes with a degree of class consciousness, like the heads of aristocratic families gathered here.

As for looking at problems from beyond one’s class and thinking from a third perspective, unfortunately, Kuai Yue, who had this ability, already died in the surging Yangtze River. Chen Xi is confident that no one will see his true thoughts.

[Wish I could use my Spiritual Talent to glimpse the future once more, but sadly the last chance is already lost.] Xun Shuang silently thought as he looked at Chen Xi at the head seat.

Currently, Xun Shuang’s Spiritual Talent has completely lost the opportunity to activate. Two years ago, when he thought he was dying, he used the last chance to leave the Xun Family an amulet.

From Xun Shuang’s glimpse of the future, as long as Xun Yu follows his own ideas and does what he wants, the Xun Family will continue to be a prominent aristocratic family in the century he foresaw.

Unfortunately, Xun Shuang didn’t die, but the greatest amulet is gone. He had five glimpses of the future, and the first four times helped reverse situations, allowing the Xun Family to advance boldly or soar to great heights, establishing a large reputation for Xun Shuang.

When he was down to the last chance, he naturally understood the value of this ability, and thus always retained the opportunity to use it one last time.

With this extraordinary ability as a foundation, Xun Shuang always appeared very calm, and nothing could drive him wild, because he knew that in any dangerous situation, he had absolute confidence to turn things around.

It is precisely this absolute confidence that made all the sages under heaven find Xun Shuang elusive and unpredictable. Because of this confidence, Xun Shuang could surpass his own limits anytime, thus overshadowing all sages of the previous era.

After all, if a person has a powerful tool that can resolve any situation used, he would be much less concerned. Xun Shuang relied on his excellent intelligence and performances above the average lifetime level, leading the Xun Family to prosperity.

Naturally, the last chance was never used, but as he got old and approached death, if he didn’t use it, would he take it into the grave? So, two years ago, when he thought he was dying, he used his biggest trump card.

The result is Xun Shuang hasn’t died yet, which naturally makes him feel it was a waste. If the ability was still available, he wouldn’t have had to worry about this situation at all. Of course, if the ability were still usable, Xun Shuang would definitely not use it, probably waiting until nearly dying to use it.

”It seems everyone has no other questions, so I’ll distribute the relevant information to each head of the aristocratic family. However, please remember not to give this information to certain people who shouldn’t get it. After all, that area is still occupied by enemies.” Chen Xi saw no further inquiries, couldn’t help but sigh and remark that these aristocratic family members were quite quality.

”You can rest assured, Marquis Chen, we don’t have the habit of handing over our things.” Weii Ji said.

”That’s good.” Chen Xi glanced at the current head of the Hedong Wei Family and said casually. He knew there was more to the words but didn’t need to pay too much attention; some things are better left ignored.

”Is there anything Marquis Chen needs besides our family classics? You can speak up now, as the aristocratic families here can solve many problems.” At this moment, Wu Yuan, who had been listening and not speaking, said warmly to Chen Xi, offering a favor.

Chen Xi glanced at Wu Yuan, who was similar in demeanor to Mi Zhen. Her expression was warm yet carried a touch of aloofness, clearly siding with Chen Xi in her manner of speaking.

”Well, yes. While you are all here, I think what I need you likely have. We can each send someone to discuss later, exchanging what we have.” Chen Xi nodded; without Wu Yuan’s prompt, he would have overlooked that apart from classics, families have other things.

”Ahem, my brother asked me to deliver this to you.” Wu Yuan took out something resembling a silk manuscript from her sleeve and presented it to Chen Xi. Chen Xi frowned and accepted it, truthfully, delivering something in such a situation during the Aristocratic Family Alliance isn’t normal.

”This is...” Chen Xi looked at the silk manuscript, feeling it was a map but couldn’t understand where it depicted at all.

Now is the time to ask questions, plus Wu Yuan slowly left after handing over the item, which intrigued Chen Xi as Wu Yuan showed no hint of reverence. This isn’t Chen Xi’s peculiar interest, but someone so mature usually is a bit uneasy upon first meeting him.

[Sichuan and Shu map, can’t be, I remember the Sichuan and Shu map doesn’t look like this, and it doesn’t even have military garrison points. If Wu Yi were to give something, it wouldn’t be such a thing.] Chen Xi thought about it but decided to suppress his curiosity and ask Wu Yuan later.

Afterwards, he addressed questions from aristocratic families and hosted everyone to a meal cooked by a real chef, with a pot of distilled good wine. Of course, first-time drinkers of this wine had varying feelings, some liked it, some didn’t adapt to it, but most were satisfied.

After all, in this era, it is better to call the wine a drink, often with sourness due to various reasons, incomparable to the distilled grain liquor made by Chen Xi.

This meal made the aristocratic family heads, rumored to be clothed in brocade and jade food, realize they had genuinely been eating pig feed before. Some family heads who hadn’t experienced stir-fried dishes were moved to tears, material life had been in a poor state.

Similarly, the presence of the Chen Family head quietly eating made observing family heads feel strangely impressed, imagining the challenge in cultivating such a person by the Chen Family.

The meal naturally ended in such a serene yet odd atmosphere, and Chen Xi, as if oblivious to everything, silently ate. The material life of this era, perhaps even eating puffed food is a treat.
