Chapter 428: Banknote Powers And Superpowers
At the start of the night, Ling Ping’an was busy playing chess.
His luck was still very, very bad but he was never tired of it.
Until a message popped up in his hand.
It was from Chiba Michiko.
“Master Ling… Are you coming tonight?”
Ling Ping’an scratched his head and finally remembered that he had promised Chiba Michiko that he would go to the Fusang Embassy’s ball tonight.
It was not easy to reject something that he had promised someone else.
Thus, he replied, “I’m coming, I’ll be right there!”
Then, he put down his phone.
Meow!
The cat Bastet jumped onto him.
“Little Darling…”
“How about we go to the Fusang Embassy’s ball and take a look?”
Meow!
The little guy meowed softly.
Ling Ping’an laughed, “It’s decided then!”
He hugged his cat, took the room card and opened the door.
At the door, a petite figure appeared.
“Hello, Young master!”
Ling Ping’an looked carefully but did not recognize her. He could only guess, “Are you Miss Yin?”
Yin Mingxiu bowed, “Yes!”
She asked, “Are you going out?”
Ling Ping’an nodded.
Yin Mingxiu asked, “Do you need to clean your room?”
Ling Ping’an shook his head, “No need!”
“Oh!” Yin Mingxiu didn’t seem very happy.
This made Ling Ping’an feel strange, “Miss Yin, do you like cleaning?”
Yin Mingxiu lowered her head and said sweetly, “Yes!”
“Serving the young master is the happiest thing in my life!”
For the young girl from Xinluo who had lived under high-pressure training since she was young and had been instilled with the idea of ‘The World’, being able to serve the heroes of the world and contribute to the world was the greatest honor in her life.
There was only one thought in Yin Mingxiu’s mind.
That was to serve them a few more times while there was still time… even if she did not receive recognition in the end.
At the very least, when she was old, she could tell her children and grandchildren that she had the honor of sweeping the bed for the world’s heroes..
What an honor!
The lowly and ignorant Xinluo girl was actually able to contribute to the cause of the world.
She could do her part for the well-being of the entire world.
Of course…
What Yin Mingxiu hoped the most was to be recognized by this young master after this.
Even if she had to be a cleaning maid or a foot-washing maid.
She was willing to do so.
The education she had received since young, the voices she heard every day and the exhortations from top to bottom had all told her time and time again that the world was one and the rise and fall of the world was the same.
Only if the central plains were good, would Xinluo be good.
On the contrary, if there was no skin on it, there would be no hair on it!
And the rise and fall of the central plains was really due to the heroic talents who were worried about the country and the people.
Thus, all the young girls who were trained would form a logic: our cause is great and just.
We were serving the world!
And we were doing it for the brothers and sisters of Xinluo!
Therefore, all the sacrifices and suffering were worth it!
In the end, everyone’s contributions would be remembered by history!
This was the reason why Xinluo’s influence in the Federal Empire was so extensive.
It was also the reason why Xinluo people never regard themselves as outsiders.
Of course, Yin Mingxiu would not know, nor would she think about this.
This was because she was already burning with the passion of a martyr.
Like a torch, if the fuel was not burned dry or if it was not extinguished by a basin of water, then she would continue to burn.
Ling Ping’an did not know about this either, but when he heard the girl’s words, he felt his scalp go numb.
“Happiness…” he thought for a moment, “Could it be that this Xinluo girl has some kind of OCD?”
He thought about his face blindness and felt relieved.
He took out the room card and handed it to her, “Since you like it… then go in!”
There was no need to clean the room.
If she liked it, then go ahead.
After all, he was a gentleman and a gentleman had the beauty of an adult!
“Thank you!” Yin Mingxiu took the room card and was overjoyed. She bowed repeatedly. In her heart, this was indeed an honor!
And it was a supreme honor!
For the world and for Xinluo!
She swore that she would definitely clean up seriously and wipe every corner clean!
…
Chiba Michiko quietly put away her phone.
She smiled and walked to the door.
Prince Li Gong was changing his clothes in the room and preparing for the ball.
“Michiko!” Li Gong turned around and saw Chiba Michiko. He immediately called out Chiba Michiko’s name in a friendly manner, “How is it? Did that Young Master Ling agree to come?”
“Yes!” Chiba Michiko nodded with a flushed face.
Ling San was indeed willing to come. This made Chiba Michiko feel deeply honored.
In her heart, this was the embodiment of Ling San’s noble character.
He actually condescended to the nobility and was willing to attend the ball for a little fox girl like her.
It was an honor!
Li Gong looked at the girl in front of him and sighed in his heart, “Does a fool have dumb luck?”
The relationship between the royal family of Fusang and the royal family of the Federal Empire was extremely close.
In a sense, in the eyes of the royal family of Fusang, the imperial family of the Empire was as kind as their parents and had the merit of being reborn!
After all, the King of Fusang was nothing!
General Shogunate and Da Ming were the rulers of Fusang!
The King of Fusang did not even have enough to eat and even his place of residence was in ruins!
Until that day, the Imperial Division fleet that covered the sky crossed the sea and docked at the dock of Edo.
The people of Fusang, old and young, came to watch.
People saw the majestic posture of Shang Kingdom’s fleet with their own eyes and saw the black muzzles of cannons.
Fusang was shocked!
However, they began to reflect!
Why were the Xia people so powerful? Why could the Xia people be so powerful? Why could the Xia people beat the Western continent with their fists and kick red hair?
Fusang’s nobles and intellectuals thought about it and finally figured it out.
This must be a problem with the system!
Shogunate and Da Ming were the main culprits that hindered the progress and development of Fusang!
They debased the royal family, they used military force and they were extremely extravagant and evil!
Hence, the kind-hearted people decisively raised their troops and held high the flags of deference to the king and return of the great government.
Initially, they thought that they would be decisively suppressed by Shogunate and mercilessly beaten by Da Ming.
In the end…
General Shogunate held the general’s seal in his mouth and brought his entire family to kneel in front of King Fusang’s palace to beg for forgiveness.
The famous people from all over cried and cried, welcoming the king back to the capital.
In one night, King Fusang turned from a puppet into a real king.
The royal family, who held great power, looked around and suddenly turned around. They finally understood the sanctity of righteousness and status.
Hence, they decisively sent out ambassador to Xia.
After that, there was a long honeymoon period.
Industrial products, culture and technology from the central plains continued to pour in.
In more than a hundred years, Fusang had changed the world.
The farmers of Fusang, who had been starving for generations, could actually eat their fill.
And they ate rice every meal!
The people of Fusang were even more convinced that this was indeed a problem with the system!
From then on, they followed the footsteps of the central plains.
The most important mission of every generation of envoys was to collect the resolutions, drafts and plans of the central federal government, the theories of the Gonghe Party and the Datong Party. Then, they would take it back and casually change a few words to treat it as their own.
Naturally, every generation of the imperial family of Fusang would try their best to close the distance between them and the imperial family of the Federal Empire of Xia at all costs.
In a sense, Fusang was in the same ‘hanging and ruling’.
The most important role of the imperial family was to act as a bridge between the two countries.
Every member of the imperial family of Fusang was aware of this duty and responsibility.
Hence, Li Gong could more or less know about the inside story of this sorority.
He smiled and held Chiba Michiko’s hand. He said intimately, “Michiko has a lot of face!”
“She even managed to invite someone like Ling San!”
“In the future, I’ll have to ask for more guidance from Michiko when it comes to Fusang!”
Chiba Michiko quickly lowered her head, “I don’t dare… Michiko only wants to make delicious food… the best food in the world…”
“Using delicious food to heal people’s hearts…”
Li Gong was about to say something else when an attendant rushed up to him and handed him a tablet, “Your Highness… The Prince of Poland has arrived!”
Li Gong took the tablet and looked at the live images from the ball.
One by one, luxurious cars with diplomatic flags were parked in the square outside the ball.
The doors of the cars were opened and knights dressed in armor, like ancient knights, stepped out of the cars.
They were dressed in ancient Milan armors.
They were very complicated.
Clap clap clap!
One by one, the knights lined up and formed a human wall.
Then the red carpet was laid out.
The Polish Prince, who was wearing a marshal’s uniform, holding a scepter and carrying a heavy sword, stepped out of a special limousine.
He was extremely cold and arrogant.
The officials sent by the Fusang Kingdom to welcome him were directly ignored by him.
He even seemed to spit out a string of words.
Obviously, that was not a good word.
The expression of Li Gong instantly became interesting.
“They come with ill intentions!”
He recalled the report he received from the Federal Empire.
His Imperial Highness the Prince, Lieutenant General Hurricane, had even said the words ‘I am a barbarian’ in front of the Lieutenant General of the Federal Empire’s Blackguard.
A person who considered himself a barbarian.
Of course, he could not be asked by the standards of a civilized person.
What was even more troublesome was that he was here!
Hence, Li Gong understood that how he should respond became a big problem.
Should he be expelled?
After thinking about it, Li Gong gave up this idea because he was invited by the Fusang Embassy.
If he were to be expelled now, with the Polish people’s nature, they would definitely make a big deal out of it.
Even if they made a big deal out of it, it didn’t matter.
In any case, the newspapers and media from all over the world would definitely not speak up for Poland in the far-off Land of Qin.
Even the people of Xinluo would not do so!
This was a great right and wrong!
However, in the end, it wasn’t good to do so without understanding the intentions of the Federal Empire.
Fusang, who claimed to be a lackey of the empire, naturally wouldn’t do anything to harm the Empire.
After thinking for a moment, Li Gong laughed and instructed the attendant, “Tell the people below to be careful of arrogance and impatience…”
“Don’t give others the wrong information!”
Since the Federal Empire had already allowed him to do so.
It was only natural for Fusang to follow up.
Li Gong thought for a moment and said, “Tell the media to emphasize the arrogance of the Polish Prince…”
The media…
In Fusang, it was usually used to wash the floor.
…
Ling Ping’an walked down the stairs and immediately saw the signboard set up by the Fusang people.
He followed the signboard and took a few turns before he found the Luming Hall in about ten minutes.
The Luming Hall was at the north entrance of the villa.
At a glance, he could see a very spacious building that looked like a palace.
There was a huge parking lot at the entrance that was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
When Ling Ping’an walked over, he just happened to see a long row of limousines with a diplomatic flag hanging on it. They were coming over aggressively.
He hurriedly hugged his cat and moved aside.
However, he could not help but grumble, “Who is it? So arrogant? Are they from Xinluo?”
Xinluo and Fusang were old enemies.
Every year, they would contribute a few arguments to the people of the country as topics of discussion.
For example, the oil and gas fields in the East China Sea were constantly being torn apart.
A few years ago, they almost fought over a small island.
It was only after the mediation of the Federal Empire that the two sides came to an agreement to put aside their disputes and develop together.
In short, in Ling Ping’an’s impression, the only people who could cause trouble for the Fusang people in such a flashy manner were probably the Xinluo people.
Who would have thought that the diplomatic plates on those luxury cars were not Xinluo’s.
When these luxury cars stopped one by one, the car doors opened in unison.
One by one, metal-can knights wearing retro ancient plate armor walked out from inside.
Ling Ping’an immediately laughed, “So it’s a country in the Land of Qin!”
Only people from the Land of Qin would play with such heavy metal cans.
The knights lined up on both sides and the red carpet was spread out.
Thus, Ling Ping’an saw a young Duke of Land of Qin, who was probably dressed in the marshal uniform of Land of Qin from the era of the Faran Emperor, holding a scepter, striding out with an aura similar to that of Long Aotian.
Ling Ping’an shook his head, “Isn’t he afraid of the ridicule of the newspapers and the media tomorrow morning?”
One had to know that the media in the Federal Empire were all big haters.
Other than the Empire’s cabinet ministers and the imperial family, there was nothing that they did not dare to ridicule! (the Federal Empire has laws that guarantee the seriousness of the national cabinet and the Imperial Family.)
“Of course he’s not afraid…” a lazy voice came from behind Ling Ping’an, “All the reports in the Luming Villa are censored…”
“It’s an official secret law…”
Ling Ping’an turned around and saw a young man around his age.
He was dressed in a fashionable outfit and he had a light beard on his lips. There seemed to be some scars left behind by acne on his face.
Ling Ping’an looked at him, blinked his eyes and smiled in a friendly manner.
The other party also smiled in a friendly manner before extending his hand, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Cen Mai… I’m from Nanzhou…”
“Metropolitan territory… Jiang City, Ling Ping’an!” Ling Ping’an extended his hand and shook his hand.
The other party nodded and asked, “Brother Ling, did you also hear the news and come here to pick up girls?”
Ling Ping’an wanted to shake his head, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded. To be honest, he had never understood why other people would want to date?
As a face-blind person, he couldn’t understand why other people would waste so much time chasing after girls.
Was it bad to play games?
So he was a little curious.
So he asked, “Brother Cen, what do you plan to do?”
Cen Mai chuckled and said seriously, “Banknotes Powers!”
Ling Ping’an heard this and shook his head.
Cen Mai asked, “Brother Ling, how do you plan to flirt?”
He was very curious. Other than banknote powers and superpowers, what else could he rely on to flirt with girls?
Wasn’t coming to this fraternity to display these two abilities?
Ling Ping’an said sternly, “What kind of gentleman is relying on money?!”
Cen Mai was shocked, “Don’t tell me Brother Ling has superpower and knows magic?”
From what he understood, only transcendent being did not need money ability. They only needed to show off a few moves and there would be girls who would fly into the fire and throw themselves into their arms.
They would even be willing to be the outer bedroom and raise their children.
Ling Ping’an was shocked, “Brother Cen doesn’t believe in science?!”
Cen Mai curled his lips and thought, “So it’s a second generation like me who only has a family background…”
“But looking at his appearance… there must be a strong person in the family…”
Cen Mai recognized the clothes of this peer called Ling Ping’an.
The custom-made private clothes on the eighth floor of the imperial city were for transcendent being. It was said that they could only be bought with points.
It was more than ten times more expensive than the latest fashion clothes from the Pegasus brand that he was wearing this year!
But on the surface, Cen Mai was still very serious.
“Of course I believe in Science!”
Yes, he also believed in metaphysics.
In this day and age, most people chose to completely believe in science or metaphysics.
It couldn’t be helped. They were all adults and adults would naturally make realistic choices!
Then, Cen Mai looked at Ling Ping’an and asked, “Since Brother Ling doesn’t rely on money, what do you plan to use to pick up girls?”
Ling Ping’an said very seriously, “Of course it’s love!”
Even though he didn’t know what love was?
But, it seemed to be said in books.
Also, in the novels he read, even if it was a Shura Arena novel, it also said so.
Love…
The so-called like…
It was an indescribable thing.
Unfortunately, as a face-blind person, Ling Ping’an felt that it was impossible for him to know what the so-called love felt like.
After all, he couldn’t even tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, so what else could he talk about?
In his eyes, everyone in the world was the same.
There were only slight differences but they were mostly the same.
They all had one mouth, one nose, two eyes and one face.
Some were thinner, some were fatter, some were bigger and some were smaller.
So, at most, he could only tell that this one might be a little cuter and that one might not be so cute.
And face blindness made it easy for him to confuse others.
Basically, after growing up, apart from his aunt, he could easily confuse others just by looking at his appearance.
Fortunately, his nose was very sensitive and he could also add smell to help him identify.
Cen Mai was shocked!
“Love?” He looked at Ling Ping’an as if he had found a rare treasure.
Ling Ping’an looked at him and was puzzled, “Brother Cen, don’t you think that things bought with money are just items?”
Cen Mai thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
But…
“Do you still want to marry her?” Cen Mai asked.
Ling Ping’an was stuck.
That’s right…
Marry her…
Wouldn’t that be worse than being in a relationship?
Cen Mai looked and chuckled. He said, “Brother Ling, let me show you!”
The Ling Ping’an in front of him reminded Cen Mai of his past.
The same naivety. He actually believed in love.
He even foolishly argued with others on the internet.
Then, reality taught him to be a man.
Therefore, he felt that he had a great responsibility!
It was necessary to save this lost lamb from his naivety and let him know the truth of this world!
