When Long Xiangtian woke up, it was almost noon the next day. He had been troubled by so many things during this period that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. Although Long Xiangtian had already reached the Penetration Realm, and it was no big deal if he didn't eat, drink, or rest for many days, he was still not at the point where he could not rest at all.
After waking up, Long Xiangtian felt much better. He remembered the paper in the token and planned to take it out and have a look.
Long Xiangtian slowly read the words on the paper, and the more he read, the more worried he looked. The general content of the paper was to allow him to sneak into the Situ family and become a guest of honor in the Situ family, but the paper did not say what happened later.
But Long Xiangtian had offended two people from the Situ family on the first day he arrived. He didn't know how important the status of these two people was in the Situ family. If they were very important, it would be difficult for him to complete this task.
Thinking of this, Long Xiangtian found the little notebook that Yunniang gave him yesterday. Since the Situ family is very famous in Tianming City, it is impossible that Yunniang does not have their information.
After flipping through the small notebook, Long Xiangtian discovered that there was indeed a lot of information about the Situ family in the notebook. The so-called General Situ and Young Master Situ last night should correspond to Situ Gaoliao and Situ Nan of the Situ family. After reading it carefully, Long Xiangtian still had a headache.
Although Situ Gaoliao and Situ Nan were good-for-nothings, they still had some status in the Situ family, or it could be said that their fathers had some status. Speaking of which, Situ Gaoliao and Situ Nan were still uncle and nephew. If I wanted to get into the Situ family, I would probably encounter considerable resistance.
However, what really gave Long Xiangtian a headache was not these, but the fact that the Situ family's status and position were indeed extraordinary. The Situ family, including its collateral branches, could occupy one-fifth of the court. If the bureaucrats in those local cities were counted, the number would be countless. In addition, the Situ family controlled one-third of the military forces of the Tenglong Empire, not to mention his private soldiers. It could be said that the Situ family's power had reached the point where it could threaten the throne.
The Situ family is not only extremely powerful in politics, but the cultivators in the family are also extremely outstanding. Situ Yue, the one with the highest cultivation level in the family, even reached the initial stage of Tongxuan many years ago. However, in recent years, he has disappeared from people's sight as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Although there are rumors that Situ Yue has already ascended to the immortal realm, the more reliable news is that Situ Yue is actually looking for a breakthrough opportunity. The current patriarch of the Situ family is inherited by Situ Yue's son, Situ Tai, who is now the prime minister of the Tenglong Empire.
Nowadays, there is a three-way confrontation in the Tenglong Empire. One of them is the Situ family, and the other two are the royal family and the military family Yan family.
There is no need to analyze the royal family too much. Those who can sit on the throne and continue the Tenglong Empire for many years are naturally extraordinary. The Yan family is a military family, and its strength is not much different from that of the Situ family.
This gave Long Xiangtian a headache. After all, the situation in Tianming City and even the Tenglong Empire was turbulent. It was obvious that Mr. Du had some ulterior motive in asking him to join the Situ family at this time. Although his cultivation in the Guanli realm was good, it was still not good enough.
Although Long Xiangtian was a little worried, he was not discouraged. After all, although he could not influence the trend of the Longteng Empire, he was still very likely to complete Mr. Du's task.
Long Xiangtian rubbed his temples, thinking about what excuse he should use to sneak into the Situ family. After all, he couldn't just recommend himself. If he did that, Situ Gaoliao and Situ Nan would just do something and it would be difficult for him to get in.
After thinking for a long time and unable to come up with a good idea, Long Xiangtian decided to ask Yunniang for help. After all, Yunniang was a local and was much more familiar with Tianming City than he was.
This time when Long Xiangtian came to Hua Ge, he felt a little more natural than last time. However, as soon as Long Xiangtian entered Hua Ge, he was noticed by Cai'er. Cai'er then handed the work at hand to someone else and walked towards Long Xiangtian with a smile.
"Mr. Long, you're here to see Yunniang again." Cai'er now firmly believes that Long Xiangtian and Yunniang have a special relationship. Judging from yesterday's situation, Long Xiangtian seems to be stronger than Yunniang. Of course, she, who thinks she is smart, has to curry favor with Long Xiangtian.
Looking at Cai'er's smiling face that showed she knew it all, he felt a little helpless, but he didn't explain. After all, even if he explained, Cai'er probably wouldn't believe it.
"Well, where is Yunniang? You guys can't be very busy in broad daylight." Long Xiangtian had no choice but to smile bitterly and nodded.
But when she saw that Long Xiangtian was here to see Yunniang, she smiled knowingly, thinking that she had guessed right. She didn't feel strange about Long Xiangtian coming to see Yunniang, after all, her good thing was interrupted yesterday, and it seemed that she had to make up for it today. However, this Mr. Long came in broad daylight, and he seemed very anxious.
Long Xiangtian saw Cai'er standing there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and was suddenly speechless: "Okay, take me to see Yunniang quickly."
Cai'er laughed in her heart when she saw Long Xiangtian's anxious look, but she didn't dare to neglect Long Xiangtian anymore. She quickly took Long Xiangtian to a private box and asked him to wait inside while she went to find Yunniang.
After a while, Yunniang followed Cai'er to see Long Xiangtian. After coming in, Yunniang asked Cai'er to go out and close the door. This made Cai'er smile even more. She patted her chest and promised to keep watch for them. Without waiting for Yunniang to explain, she quickly left.
"Master Long, this is great. I guess in a few days many people in Tianming City will know that I, Yunniang, shamelessly threw myself into the arms of a pretty boy." Yunniang's voice was filled with resentment.
Long Xiangtian knew that he had gone too far, but he didn't want to admit his mistake: "Yunniang, I'm just helping you to get rid of the flies. If I make such a fuss, everyone will know that you are already taken. How can anyone dare to have any improper thoughts about you?"
Although what Long Xiangtian said made some sense, he was actually just making specious arguments, which made Yunniang roll her eyes.
However, Yunniang was born beautiful. Although she was much older than Long Xiangtian, she was actually just a young girl in her twenties. Now she rolled her eyes at Long Xiangtian, showing her charming look, which made Long Xiangtian imagine a lot.
However, Long Xiangtian came to discuss serious matters and to ask Yunniang for help, so he had to admit his mistake.
"I was indeed careless in this matter. I hope that you, Yunniang, will be magnanimous and help me out again without holding a grudge."
