Dragon's Origin

"What's going on?" Wang Sheng asked, frowning.

Wang Sheng wouldn't be surprised if someone targeted Mei'er. It's normal for people to covet Mei'er's hundreds of billions of assets. However, as long as Mei'er stays in the capital and is careful when going out, there shouldn't be any problems.

But who did Rose and the women of the Grand View Garden offend? Why would anyone want to target them?

Although Wang Sheng used the profits from Dream Workshop on the women of the Grand View Garden, it doesn't mean that Dream Workshop belongs to Rose and the women. So, if they're looking for money, they've definitely targeted the wrong people.

Revenge? If we're really talking about enemies, the women's enemies should be those high-ranking figures from the Kingdom of Triumph. But the problem is, they didn't actually participate in the specific battles to eliminate the Kingdom of Triumph, so what revenge is there to speak of? As for being sent to Wang Sheng as gifts, that's even less of a reason for revenge. If they really want revenge, they should be looking for Wang Sheng, so what's the point of targeting the women of the Grand View Garden?

Thinking about it, the only explanation seems to be that they covet their beauty. As full-time supermodels for Dream Workshop, the women can definitely be described as having widespread reputations for their beauty. However, besides Wang Sheng and some people from the Changsheng Duke's Mansion, only the female VIPs of Dream Workshop have seen their beautiful appearances. No one else has the opportunity.

"Where did the news come from?" Wang Sheng asked patiently. The women of the Grand View Garden don't have much combat power right now. They're re-cultivating the Eternal Spring Heart Sutra, and they won't have any combat power until they reach the legendary realm. They're very weak, so the Changsheng Duke's Mansion has always protected them very well. How dare someone target them? Are they courting death?

"Some female pilgrims," the Grand Master said, not hiding the source of the information. He told Wang Sheng, "Last time, according to your suggestion, we built several rooms where pilgrims could confide their troubles, and we sent a group of eloquent disciples to hide in the partitions to enlighten the pilgrims. Many people confided in them. Some of the disciples heard several female pilgrims say that their husbands wanted to target Rose and the others. It's not just one or two people, it's a group of people."

This so-called confession room was Wang Sheng's idea, based on the Christian confessionals on Earth. It was also being implemented in the Taoist Old Lord Temple, and the results were very good. This method, which allows people to confide their worries or wrongdoings without revealing their identity and seek the Old Lord's forgiveness, has led many people to become devout pilgrims of the Old Lord Temple.

Because the rooms have soundproof formations, and it's dark inside after entering, the people responsible for enlightenment in the partitions don't know who the other person is. Moreover, there are voice-changing formations inside, which greatly increases security. No matter what you say inside, as long as you don't foolishly reveal your identity, no one else can know who's speaking. The Old Lord Temple also promises that no matter what they hear, they will pretend it never happened.

Countless people have dark sides to their psychology that they can't get rid of. Now, the Old Lord Temple has dedicated an entire hall as a window for confession. After someone tried it, it immediately became unstoppable. When they have something on their mind and don't want to confide in others, they come here.

It's only been a few months since it started, and most of the people who have tried it are female pilgrims. That's normal. Wang Sheng thought of this situation from the beginning. Men mostly keep things to themselves, but women are most willing to confide in others. If there are some things that even close friends can't talk about, then the Old Lord Temple's confession room immediately becomes the best choice.

"It's estimated that a group of dignitaries in the capital have become interested," the Grand Master explained to Wang Sheng. "After all, we can only guess, but at least we know that it should be the husbands of some of your Dream Workshop's VIPs who may want to get together and do something."

If it's just some dignitaries in the capital, Wang Sheng isn't worried at all. As long as the Emperor is still the Emperor, then everything will be fine. No matter how powerful the dignitaries in the capital are, can they be more powerful than the Emperor?

The Grand Master obviously understands this principle as well, so he doesn't think this matter is too urgent, nor does he think those guys can succeed. So, when he spoke to Wang Sheng, he didn't express it with a very urgent attitude, but just as a small warning to add some twists and turns to Wang Sheng's life.

"Does Mei'er know about this?" Wang Sheng asked unnecessarily.

"I didn't tell her!" The Grand Master seemed very surprised that Wang Sheng's first reaction was whether Mei'er knew or not. Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept from the first wife?

"Okay, I'll pay more attention when I get back," Wang Sheng said speechlessly, feeling very speechless at the Grand Master's surprise.

"Old Daoist, do you want to come back to the capital with me?" Wang Sheng had learned enough about the recent events and was preparing to return to the Changsheng Duke's Mansion in the capital, so he asked the old Daoist casually. He was already used to traveling with the old Daoist.

"I need to retreat and digest for a while." To Wang Sheng's surprise, the old Daoist didn't want to travel with Wang Sheng again, and directly shook his head and refused Wang Sheng: "Your current cultivation level means you don't need to worry about anything anymore."

As a true peak legendary, the only people who can do anything to Wang Sheng are probably the three royal offerings and Uncle Li. In terms of combat experience, Wang Sheng is definitely not inferior to anyone, and even the old Daoist is ashamed of himself. Does Wang Sheng like that still need the old Daoist to protect him all the time?

Understanding this, Wang Sheng smiled and didn't insist anymore. After saying goodbye to the old Daoist and the Grand Master, Wang Sheng didn't ride his flying mount ostentatiously. He just had the Grand Master find a horse for him and slowly return to the city.

If the flying mount flies back, such a big target, the people watching nearby will definitely have seen it. So, when Wang Sheng returns to the capital, many people will naturally see it.

The old Daoist doesn't care if people know his whereabouts, and Wang Sheng doesn't care either. Rejecting the Grand Master's offer to send someone to escort him, Wang Sheng rode his horse slowly towards the city. At this speed, he would be able to return to the capital by dusk at the latest.

However, Wang Sheng still underestimated his attractiveness to some people. Wang Sheng knows too much, so much that people from any force want to control Wang Sheng and want to exclusively enjoy the secrets Wang Sheng possesses.

Wang Sheng had only traveled halfway when a bitter smile appeared on his face. The surrounding movements were all transmitted to Wang Sheng's ears without missing a single detail. Wang Sheng could hear clearly how many people were breathing and how many people were holding their breath. He even knew clearly how far away each person was and where they were.

How deliberate is this? Wang Sheng's return journey takes at most three hours, but someone has already been able to organize so many experts to ambush him, which shows that they had this idea long ago. Don't they remember the lesson from the Gan family back then?

"I really don't want to cause trouble," Wang Sheng muttered to himself with a wry smile: "I don't like killing people either, don't force me!"
