Faced with Chen Changsheng's suggestion, Zuo Xinghe remained silent, offering no response.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng simply smiled without saying anything further.

The Left Emperor had lived for 2,300 years, twice as long as a cultivator in the Divine Transformation stage.

As the saying goes, "The older, the wiser," and nowadays, Chang'an City is nothing short of a den of dragons and tigers.

If it weren't for investigating the clues about the bronze ancient hall, he would never have gotten involved in this matter.

...

Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

The nine princes of Xuanwu Nation were gathered in the grand hall, and seated high on the dragon throne was a young man.

This young man was the strongest emperor in the history of Xuanwu Nation, the Xuanwu Emperor.

The Xuanwu Emperor propped his chin with his hand, smiling as he looked at his nine sons.

At this moment, one of the princes stepped forward and said, "Father, I have visited many wise men and searched all the famous mountains and rivers of Xuanwu Nation."

"I have finally found a dragon vein for you, Father. With this dragon vein, you will surely live another lifetime."

Seeing a prince step forward, the other princes were not to be outdone, each boasting about the efforts they made to find a dragon vein.

However, among the nine princes, only the eldest, Zuo Xinghe, remained silent.

The reason for his silence was simple: Chen Changsheng was devouring the fruit platter in front of him with great enthusiasm.

Watching his brothers introduce the dragon veins they had found, Zuo Xinghe felt a sense of urgency.

"Sir, perhaps we should pause the eating for now."

"Shall we introduce the dragon veins first?"

Hearing Zuo Xinghe's "suggestion," Chen Changsheng swallowed the spiritual fruit in his mouth and said.

"This is a banquet; eating is the main event. Besides, this shouldn't be your main concern right now!"

Zuo Xinghe's face was full of confusion at these words.

"Not concerned about the dragon vein now, then what should I focus on?"

Faced with Zuo Xinghe's lack of understanding, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes dramatically.

"Your father is about to die, and you nine sons are joyfully finding him a burial site. Don't you think that's a bit inappropriate?"

As Chen Changsheng finished speaking, Zuo Xinghe immediately realized.

It was true that his father was looking for a dragon vein, and it was also true that his end was near.

But at this moment, as a son, his first thought should be reluctance, not how to find a good grave for his father.

Even if he didn't think that way in his heart, he should at least put on a show!

Thinking of this, Zuo Xinghe whispered, "Sir, is it still not too late?"

"Better late than never, just make sure to be dramatic."

With Chen Changsheng's advice, Zuo Xinghe immediately stood up and rushed forward.

Sliding on his knees, he slammed his forehead onto the ground.

"Father!"

"Your son can't bear to lose you!"

The other princes: ???

Zuo Xinghe's sudden move caught the other eight princes off guard.

Meanwhile, the Left Emperor on the dragon throne turned his gaze to Chen Changsheng, who was still devouring the fruit platter.

An old monster who had lived for over 2,300 years, his strength was undoubtedly formidable.

He could hear every conversation in the hall.

He knew the thoughts and personalities of his nine sons like the back of his hand, but the helper his eldest son had found seemed quite interesting.

Thinking of this, the Left Emperor spoke, "A man should not cry easily. What kind of behavior is this?"

Faced with the Left Emperor's slightly reprimanding tone, Zuo Xinghe cried even louder.

"Father, they say men don't cry easily, but it's only because they haven't reached the point of heartbreak."

"Now that I'm about to part with you, Father, I can't bear it!"

Watching his eldest son's excellent acting, the Left Emperor smiled slightly and used a touch of spiritual power to help Zuo Xinghe up.

"I know your filial piety, but life and death are part of Heaven's Way, so don't be too sad."

After speaking, the Left Emperor waved his hand, and a servant immediately brought another large "fruit platter" to Chen Changsheng.

Faced with the Left Emperor's reward, Chen Changsheng grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.

"Thank you, Left Emperor!"

With that, Chen Changsheng resumed his fruit platter frenzy, eating and grabbing more.

The other princes: "..."

Can you have some shame? How did you come up with such shameless tactics?

Why didn't I think of that?

Although the Left Emperor didn't explicitly say anything, the other eight princes knew that Zuo Xinghe's recent actions were clearly a bonus.

With the small performance over, the Left Emperor finally spoke of the main issue.

"My time is nearing its end, and I wish to find a place of Immortal Fate to live another life."

"Ten years ago, I promised that whoever finds the true place of Immortal Fate will inherit the throne of Xuanwu Nation."

"Now is the time for you to show your results."

As his words fell, the eight princes signaled to the "wise men" beside them.

Immediately, those "wise men" stepped forward, confidently introducing the dragon veins they had found.

Their descriptions sounded so miraculous that even Zuo Xinghe was a bit envious.

But Chen Changsheng, the helper, continued his fruit platter frenzy, showing no intention of speaking.

Half an hour passed, and the eight dragon veins were introduced.

Everyone's eyes were on Chen Changsheng, watching his crude behavior. The second prince said displeasedly.

"Elder brother, where did you find such a country bumpkin? This is the crucial moment for Father's millennium plan."

"Having someone like this in the hall is a disgrace to our Xuanwu Nation."

Hearing this, Zuo Xinghe was about to retort when Chen Changsheng finished the last spiritual fruit and leisurely said.

"Haven't you heard of saving the best for last?"

"The truly skilled appear last, so what's the rush?"

With that, Chen Changsheng looked at the Left Emperor and said.

"May I ask, Left Emperor, do you have a map?"

"If possible, the map should be as large and detailed as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Left Emperor waved his finger, and five strong men immediately carried in a huge map.

The map was unfurled, covering half of the palace.

Chen Changsheng carefully studied the map, marking the eight dragon veins one by one.

After completing everything, Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said.

"Left Emperor, forgive my bluntness, but these eight places are all trash in my eyes."

"To live another life, only one place has a slight possibility."

As soon as he said this, the many wise men present were instantly enraged.

"How dare you! What sect do you belong to, to speak such nonsense here?"

"Name your sect, and we'll teach your master a lesson on your behalf."

Facing the crowd's anger, Chen Changsheng nonchalantly picked his ear and said.

"Sorry, my sect isn't skilled in Dragon Vein Searching; I learned these things on my own."

"Besides, my main job is selling coffins, with a side business in Dragon Vein Searching and handling funeral affairs."
