After the banquet, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran lived in Qingdi City for a while.

During this period, geniuses from various forces and families continued to visit.

Some of them aim to have a good relationship with Feng Shao, while others just want to get acquainted.

But no matter what the purpose, this visit must be done.

Even if they don’t want to give Feng Shao face, they have to give Yunjian Pavilion face.

Feng Shao took this opportunity to meet many well-known geniuses, gained a lot of contacts and connections, and also used this to establish his own fame.

In this process, Guan Shuo, the holy son of Taixuan, and Fang Yiming, the holy son of Jiuyin, played a big role.

After all, the holy sons of the two Sacred Lands have chosen to support Feng Shao, which is enough to prove that Feng Shao himself is extraordinary.

Even if Feng Shao is about to marry the goddess they dream of, they dare not hold any grudges.

As for those who still wish to aim for Lin Xiaoran, most of them haven’t seen the facts clearly.

More than ten days later, Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran bid farewell to Guan Shuo and the others as many geniuses left Qingdi City one after another, and set off to return.

But before setting off, Deng Jingyun suddenly came looking for Feng Shao.

Feng Shao is still relatively unfamiliar with Deng Jingyun. The reason why they sent invitations to him was simply because Deng Jingyun was also a well-known talent. In the communication with Guan Shuo and Fang Yiming, Feng Shao also got to know the details of Deng Jingyun a little bit.

When speaking of Deng Jingyun, one has to mention the Deng family in Qianyun City behind him.

The Deng family in Qianyun City rose more than eight hundred years ago.

At that time, the location of Qianyun City was just a wasteland, and the ancestors of the Deng family built Qianyun City on this wasteland with great perseverance.

After several hundred years of development, Qianyun City has gradually developed from the original small settlement to a well-known big city.

The Deng family, the family that built the city, has served as the city lord of Qianyun City for generations.

It’s just that although Qianyun City has gradually risen, a cloud has always been shrouded over the Deng family.

Rumor has it that the Deng family a thousand years ago was originally a family strong enough to be a superpower.

But for some unknown reason, the strong members of the Deng family were killed and injured overnight, and the ancestral land where they lived for generations was barren, forcing the Deng family to relocate.

As for what happened at that time, not many people know even now.

All they know is that from that day on, the Deng family has been haunted by a curse for generations.

“Can’t give birth to more, and heirs can’t be more than two. A grandson can’t see his ancestors, and a daughter can’t see her mother. If a commoner has a child, the spring will not pass the autumn, and the autumn will not pass the spring.”

The above three sentences are a rough summary of the Deng family’s curse. To put it simply, the people of the Deng family could not live to be more than sixty years old, and each person could only have two children at most. If a son is born, the grandfather dies; if a daughter is born, the mother dies. In addition, if they take concubines in addition to marrying a wife, the children born in the spring will not survive until autumn, and those born in the autumn will not survive until spring. They will be half a year old at most and will inevitably die.

This curse is extremely vicious, and it has entangled the Deng family for nearly a thousand years.

It has caused a large family that was thriving and prosperous to become the current scene of withering population and decline.

And in Deng Jingyun’s generation, there is only him and his little sister in the entire Deng family.

As for his elders, only his father remained.

In other words, there are only three people in the huge Deng family.

Deng Jingyun’s father is fifty-eight years old this year. In two years at most, his father would die under the curse too.

In the past thousand years, the Deng family has thought of various ways to break this curse, but in the end, they all failed.

Regardless of the current Qianyun City’s popularity, Deng Jingyun is also a well-known genius talent in Dongzhou, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this family will disappear completely in a short time.

“Brother Feng, what Deng Jingyun cares most about is the solution to the thousand-year curse of their Deng family. But it is also because of this that Deng Jingyun is always willing to go to extremes, and it is not profitable to talk to this person. So when communicating with him later, remember not to trust this person too much,” Guan Shuo warned Feng Shao.

Feng Shao nodded and said, “I understand, thank you, brother Guan, for reminding me.”

Sometime later, Feng Shao met with Deng Jingyun alone in a tea room.

It has to be said that if Deng Jingyun’s monikers are put aside, he is still very handsome in appearance, and he is a veritable fair-skinned handsome boy. As soon as he sat, a natural nobility arose from him, with a bit of temperament as if he is a “jade-like young man.”

Seeing Feng Shao push the door open and enter the room, Deng Jingyun, who was drinking tea, put down his cup and smiled at him, “Brother Feng, please sit down!”

After Feng Shao sat down, Deng Jingyun made a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile, “Brother Feng, I brought this tea myself. It’s something I normally don’t want to drink due to its rarity. But today, I’m entertaining brother Feng, so I took out some. I hope brother Feng likes it.”

After Feng Shao took a sip of tea from his teacup, he smiled and said, “Brother Deng didn’t come to me just for tea, did he?”

Deng Jingyun smiled and said, “Has brother Feng always been so quick to speak?”

Feng Shao shook his head, “Not really. But I think brother Deng might prefer this kind of quick and direct-to-the-point communication.”

Deng Jingyun smiled and said, “Hahaha, brother Feng is also a wonderful person. If that’s the case, then I won’t talk in circles with brother Feng.”

Deng Jingyun then suddenly looked serious, and said solemnly, “I don’t know if brother Feng knows about Qiankun Palace?”

Feng Shao was startled, then nodded slowly, “I’ve heard of it.”

In terms of understanding Qiankun Palace, no one in this world can claim to be a match for Feng Shao. The only worry is that Feng Shao doesn’t quite understand why Deng Jingyun suddenly mentioned Qiankun Palace.

Without waiting for him to think more about it, Deng Jingyun continued to say, “Brother Feng must have heard about my Deng family in Qianyun City before this?”

“I have a little understanding,” Feng Shao nodded.

Deng Jingyun sighed, “A thousand years ago, my Deng family used to be a big and famous family, but now it is declining, dying, and it may disappear at any time. The ancestors of the Deng family tried every means to find a way to break the curse on the Deng family, but so far, we have not found a way to break it. The only hope now may be on this Qiankun Palace.”
