After sending off the maids who had come to congratulate Shen Qingming on his birthday, it was already evening.

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

But Shen Qingming is also a person who has read books after all, and she knows very well what kind of turmoil and waves a woman will experience if she spends a night with a carnivorous department when she is lost. This kind of thing has been described a lot in books such as "Nine-Colored Deer", which made Shen Qingming so impressed that he couldn't sleep at night. Now although Shen Qingming is lost, it is not a stumbling after all, and she doesn't want to be reborn so soon.

So in the evening, Shen Qingming euphemistically expressed her willingness to leave. Li Wanqing is also worthy of being a prosperous master of this way, and she did not forcibly keep it, but ended the banquet very happily and dismissed the maid, which made Shen Qingming embarrassed for a while.

After that, Li Wanqing gave Qingming her birthday gift: a very delicate blue necklace. The gems on the necklace are made of high-quality sword stones, which have the magical effect of assisting the operation of sword qi, and the grade happens to be designed for monks in the Cloud Surge Realm.

When she received the gift, Shen Qingming's heart was warm.

Although when I get along with Sister Wanqing, I always feel uncomfortable with the occasional carnivorous atmosphere, but in addition, Li Wanqing is really like a gentle spring breeze, which makes people feel comfortable.

Just over a month ago, Shen Qingming broke through to the Yunyong Realm, and took advantage of the opportunity of the immovable hegemon's body rank explosion and the tempering of her physical body, her long-brewing true yuan also underwent a qualitative change, and the whistling spirit in her body turned into patches of white spirit clouds, and officially stepped into the threshold of the Cloud Surge Realm.

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

On the contrary, Li Wanqing noticed this carefully.

Therefore, when Shen Qingming put on the necklace and felt the mellow power in the sword stone, he even had an urge to go up and kiss Li Wanqing.

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

Leaving the Divine Sword Building, Shen Qingming looked at Shen Cheng outside the building, thinking of only one person, and he didn't know where he was at this time.

Is it still in Shencheng? Or have you already embarked on a journey to the Golden Jade City? It shouldn't be so urgent, even if you want to go to Golden Jade City, won't you notify the No. 1 mount?

Thinking about it, the girl's heart began to feel apprehensive again.

"Ah Jiu...... Are you there? Silent, Shen Qingming called Wang Jiu's name in her heart, but before she could get any response, she heard a noise of people not far away.

The voice came both loudly and suddenly, interrupting the girl's meditation at once, and making her feel annoyed, but the next moment, the chaotic voices came into her ears, arousing her curiosity.

"Press conference, there is press conference!"

"Hurry up, it's at the gate of the inner city, it's an earth-shattering event!"

"Hurry up and call Lao Zhang and them, if you miss it, I'm afraid you will regret it for a lifetime!"

"Lao Li, Lao Li! Don't sleep, let's go to the inner city gate to watch the big news! ”

"The press conference presided over by the lord of the castle himself! I have lived in Shencheng for more than 30 years, and this kind of thing is unprecedented! ”

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

Do you mean Shen Yueying? After a month of hard work, the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Shencheng and Qingyuncheng has finally been successfully completed, the main agreements have been signed, and the first batch of cooperation projects has officially begun. Now, if it weren't for Lu Xin's escape from Qingyun City's official duties, they would have set off to return to Qingyun City a long time ago.

However, this kind of thing can't be delayed forever, and Lu Xin's ostrich tactics will always come to an end one day, could it be that Shen Yueying finally didn't want to use Shen Cheng's public funds to support Lu Xin, and decided to hold a press conference in advance to announce the results?

Shen Qingming was angry and funny in her heart, this Shencheng person is too picky, just Lu Xin's small body, how much food can he eat from you? Some time ago, I worked overtime for you to work, and I didn't ask you for a few spirit stones for overtime pay, but now I actually throw away the overtime heroes when they run out in order to save food, which is simply inhumane!

While thinking, Shen Qingming also walked in the direction of the inner city with the crowd to see what kind of fame this sudden press conference was going to do.

However, after walking a short distance, Shen Qingming was a little difficult to walk, as if most of the people in the city had walked out of the door and gathered in the direction of the inner city, the originally spacious road in Shen City was blocked by dense crowds, Shen Qingming jumped vigorously and looked around, only feeling that there were no less than a thousand people gathered on the main street around him. The scene in other places is similar to this, so a rough estimate is that there are probably more than 100,000 people on the streets of the entire city.

This kind of terrifying crowd, whatever happens casually, may cause hundreds of stampede casualties, but the people of Shencheng have a unique order, always maintain crowded and not chaotic, but order is order, after all, the urban space is limited, the crowd surging for a while can no longer move forward, completely stagnant, Shen Qingming is mixed in, and after waiting for a while, he feels impatient, so he simply gives full play to his body advantages, and shuttles dexterously between people like a swimming fish.

In fact, as a monk of the Yunyong Realm, Shen Qingming already has the foundation of flying in theory, but after all, she has not broken through the realm for a long time, and she has not had time to learn the immortal arts that the Yunyong Realm should master, so she has a pure true yuan but has no way to exert it, so she can only endure the unhappiness in her heart, and shuttle through the crowd with her short body.

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

Tens of thousands of people had already gathered in the square in front of the inner city gate, squeezing every inch of space to the brim, and there were hundreds of immortal cultivators in the sky, staring at the inner city gate with expectant faces.

The more Shen Qingming looked at it, the more suspicious she became, as for it, such a big battle? The re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Shencheng and Qingyun City has been stormy in the city for a few months, and now a press conference is held to announce the news, which is just a procedure, what is there to make such a fuss about?

However, just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone next to me say, "I didn't expect the lord of the city to come out of retreat so quickly, I heard that he was expected to retreat to death, and I thought he was going to retire from the background forever." ”

"Haha, the city lord is invincible in his life, what death can trap him? In the face of no matter how difficult the level is, it is easy to break through, this is Shen Ruoshi, who has been undefeated in the southeast for a hundred years! ”

Shen Qingming suddenly realized that the city lord that people were talking about was not the new city lord Shen Yueying, but Shen Ruoshi.

Indeed, in the past few decades, Shen Ruoshi's reputation in Shen City has been so high that when it comes to the city lord of Shen City, everyone's first reaction is Shen Ruoshi. Although Shen Yueying has also been the deputy city lord for nearly twenty years, her reputation is too far behind her predecessor.

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

With a hint of curiosity, Shen Qingming stood seriously at the front row of the crowd.

After a short time, the gate of the inner city rumbled open, and from it, Shen Ruoshi, who was white-haired and black-clothed, floated in, standing ten zhang in the air, condescendingly looking at the crowd in the square.

In the entire square, tens of thousands of people were silent, and everyone looked intently ahead, waiting for Shen Ruoshi to open his mouth to announce today's important matters.

Such a grand occasion is simply incredible,

However, for the people of Shen City, facing the beloved city lord Shen Ruoshi, this is just the basic etiquette that should be due.

The silence didn't last long, Shen Ruoshi pondered for a while, and then said, "Today, I summoned everyone here as the former city lord, and there is an announcement. ”

Next, facing tens of thousands of listeners who were holding their breath, Shen Ruoshi said slowly.

"I'm the Sansheng Stone."

"That's right, it's the romance writer Sanshengshi whose works sell well in the mainland, and that's my other identity besides the city lord of Shencheng."

"Romance is my personal interest, and it is also a strong spiritual need that arises after the demons enter my body. For some regrettable things that happened in reality, even if I have the power to go to heaven, it is difficult for me to recover, and I can only talk about it in the literary world for comfort. ”

"Being a romance writer is a far cry from my usual image, and it's hard for me to be proud of it, so I've always been reluctant to disclose my identity. Until some time ago, due to force majeure, my creation was forced to be interrupted. Some publishers in Shencheng plan to take this opportunity to use my pen name to publish some shoddy works. I didn't want the pen name I had been operating for many years to be abused, but I didn't want the matter to be publicized, so I asked my subordinates to burn the original jade plate, which was the boiling fire dragon plate some time ago. It's a pity that my subordinates are not secretive, and they were found to be clues, so in order to keep it secret, I let the people who might expose this matter disappear one by one...... This is called Shin Yin. ”

"That's all I want to disclose to you today."

After Shen Ruoshi finished speaking, he looked at the tens of thousands of Shencheng people who were stunned and collapsed, hesitated for a moment, and added: "In addition, I want to state a little. Whether it is engaged in romance creation, or the later fire dragon burning plate, or the hidden incident, it is just my own selfishness. It has nothing to do with anyone else, with no other forces. It's not that some hostile forces outside the city are plotting to frame them. After all, I'm not a perfect city lord, not even a qualified ......."

However, then, before Shen Ruoshi's self-examination was over, he heard a Shen Cheng soldier roar indignantly: "I knew that all this was a conspiracy of hostile forces outside the city!" ”

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

"That's right, there must be a conspiracy!"

"The lord of the castle must have a hard time! He must have thought about the overall situation at the expense of discrediting himself! ”

"Always support the city lord!"

"Down with the hostile forces outside the city!"

"I think this must be a conspiracy of Golden Jade City!"

"Down with the Golden Jade City!"

"Capture Zhao Shenlu alive!"
