Chapter 82 Secrets

Xu Zexi hurriedly arrived at the doorstep of Su Jing's house.
After gently knocking on the door, Su Jing quickly opened the courtyard gate.
"Senior Brother Xu," Su Jing greeted with a smile.
Xu Ze wore a smile on his face and patted Su Jing's shoulder, saying,
"The owner of Baihua Tower is back. She has already summoned me and, for the sake of your face, she no longer pursues the crime of deceiving her. She has bestowed Ziyu upon me."
Sujing quickly said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother."
"It's all thanks to your help, Junior Brother."
Xu Ze had an expression of overwhelming joy, and then said:
"The master of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion is eager to meet you, this genius, and said there is an opportunity she wants to give you. Junior Brother, you must seize this chance!"
"Opportunity?" Su Jing was slightly surprised. "
"What specific opportunity, the master of Baihua Building didn't say. I guess she wants to tell you in person. Don't stand there frozen, go quickly." Xu Ze smiled and said.
"Originally, when I heard the poems, they weren't my own works. The master of Baihua Building seemed a bit angry, thinking I was plagiarizing the works of the predecessors. But later she found out they were made by you, her anger subsided." Xu Ze said while walking.
Su Jing was listening attentively and nodding slightly.
Soon, the two returned to the Hundred Flowers Tower.
Just as they entered, a tall man and Miss Ziyang came forward to greet them.
The tall young man looked directly at Xu Ze, saying:
“Young Master Xu, the one beside you should be Young Master Su. I can take Young Master Su to meet the master of the building. You can take Miss Ziyan and leave now; she will be yours from now on.”
At this moment, Ziyu also understood the whole story and looked at Sujing with an inexplicable expression in her eyes, then lowered her head to Xuze's side.
"Junior brother, then I will go back first. Tomorrow, Ziyu and I will come over together to visit."
Xu Zeyi said, giving Su Jing a signal with his eyes.
Su Jing understood that the other person wanted him to speak highly of him tomorrow. He nodded and smiled.
Then, led by the tall young man, Su Jing arrived at a gray attic in the depths of the garden.
Upstairs, the tall young man gestured towards the door to Su Jing and then turned away.
Standing in front of the door, Su Jing loudly said, "Junior Su Jing, respectfully greeting the master of the Baihua Tower."
A soft and gentle voice came from inside, "Master Su, please come in."
Su Jing pushed open the door, glanced around the room, and then fixed his gaze on the graceful figure behind the beaded curtains.
"Young Master Su, no need to be formal, please come in," smiled the host of Baihua Tower.
Su Jing nodded slightly and took two steps forward, lifting the pearl curtain.
At a glance, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman, with fair skin and a youthful appearance that didn't seem to exceed thirty, sitting cross-legged on a bed made of golden-threaded Nanmu wood.
She is dressed in a tight red martial arts uniform, which highlights her beautiful curves. The upper body is round and full, seemingly about to unravel. Around her waist is a black silk ribbon, delicately accentuating her slender figure.
The hem of the martial arts uniform reaches above the knees, and two long legs, snow-white in color, are covered with a hazy halo under the dim light.
Su Jing was instantly captivated by her.
It is not because of her beauty, but purely in terms of appearance and figure, An Suyuan is not inferior to her.
It is her unique charm that sets her apart.
At this moment, she is smiling at Su Jing.
Previously, when Xu Zeya recited his poem, the host of Baihua Tower was completely taken aback.
But at this moment, she has sorted out her emotions and regained her composure.
She sits there peacefully, with a relaxed and graceful demeanor.
"Dew." The moment Su Jing heard this word, he couldn't help but think of it.
The woman in front of him was like a dewdrop hanging on a blade of grass, filled to the brim, and transparent to the extreme, exuding a captivating charm reminiscent of ripened fruits.
But at the same time, there is a sense of innocence in her eyes, like the clearness of morning dew.
Two completely opposite personalities mixed together, giving people a sense of contradiction.
Su Jing bowed deeply and said, "Greetings to the host."
Baihua, the host, nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "I have already read Su Gongzi's two poems, they are truly masterpieces."
Su Jing smiled and said, "You are too kind, my dear host."
"No, I'm not exaggerating."
Bai Hua, the host of Baihua Tower, shook her head slightly and said, "I have been in Feiyan City for twenty years, and I have had people contact talented Confucian scholars in the surrounding areas."
But all their works combined are not as good as any of your two works.
At this point, she smiled slightly and said, "Sir Su is young, yet he can write such excellent works. Do you have any insights?"
Su Jing smiled and said, "I write poetry purely based on inspiration. When inspiration comes, it is as if the heavens are holding a pen, and the words naturally flow out. In terms of cultural literacy, I am actually not as good as many other people."
The owner of the Baihua Tower did not doubt it and said, "Su Gongzi is indeed exceptionally talented."
The two chatted briefly and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The owner of the Baihua Tower didn't play coy either and went straight to the point, smiling as he said, "Su Gongzi, do you know why I have painstakingly searched everywhere, at any cost, for talented poets?"
Su Jing was puzzled and said, "Isn't it because of interest?"
The owner of Baihua Tower smiled and shook her head.
"Although I am indeed very interested in the way of poetry, in this world, strength is the most important, and arts and beauty can be used to nurture one's temperament."
But I am so obsessed with this path, devoting all my thoughts to it, how can I have today's cultivation?"
Su Jing's expression changed and he asked, "Is there any hidden story behind this?"
The Lord of Baihua nodded and said,
"I didn't invite you here today to engage in poetic competition with you, but to give you an opportunity, and I hope that in the future, if I have any needs, you can help me out."
"Oh?" Su Jing raised an eyebrow.
The host of Baihua Tower suddenly said, "Do you know what year it is now in Da Qin?"
"It is the year 1659 of the new calendar of Da Qin," Su Jing answered, a little unsure of what the other person meant.
The master of Baihua Tower exclaimed, "Yes, although Qin is still the name of the empire, it has become a whole new Big Qin in terms of its calendar. Have you ever known that the present-day Big Qin we speak of is completely different from the former Qin Empire?"
A thought arose in Su Jing's mind. He was currently in the land of the barbarians, Fei Yan City, and had always had an incomplete understanding of this world.
Immediately, he quickly asked, "Please enlighten me, kind moderator?"
Indeed, the true Great Qin Empire was incredibly powerful. It is said that its domain extended as far as the reaches of the sun and moon, covering all lands under the sky. This phrase, passed on since ancient times, clearly illustrates this fact. During that era, all thirteen continents of the world belonged to the vast territory of Great Qin.
The host of Baihua Tower looked nostalgic and said, "However, perhaps it was three thousand years ago, or maybe five thousand years ago, when a major upheaval occurred and the Great Qin Empire collapsed overnight."
"Collapse overnight?" Su Jing was stunned.
"The specific reason, no one knows anymore."
The owner of Baihua Tower said, "Afterwards, the Seven Sects of the Great Qin Ancestral Land and the Barbarians fought year after year, eventually forming a situation where the Human race occupied seven continents and the Barbarians occupied six continents."
Of course, there have been too many things happening in this process, and I only have a rough idea.
In simple terms, it started with the Great Qin Empire period, then there was the era of the Seven Ancestral Paths and the battles with the barbarians, and finally, before 1659, the conflicts were calmed down, forming the current pattern of the world.
Now, although we still identify ourselves as Qin people, the true Great Qin Empire no longer exists, and now the ancestral territories are scattered across seven continents.
The government and military are also established by specific ancestral territories, and they are the inheritors of the Great Qin Empire, but not the true Great Qin Empire."
Su Jing suddenly understood.
It's like after the fall of Da Qin, the seven strongest successors of Da Qin, none of them would submit to each other and fought independently, just like the Warring States period in my previous life.
He then asked, "Did the OP mention these things all of a sudden? Could it be that the coincidences you speak of are related to these matters?"
