This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
In the Qingyun Mountains.
Xiao Muxue sipped on some wine with her eyes full of bewilderment.
She was curious as to how the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would arrive in such a place.
However, she immediately guessed something.
“Tenth Prince?”
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
However, immediately after that, Xiao Muxue gurgled her mouth with some wine and couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
“Is Su Changyu really the Tenth Prince? In that case, things are getting interesting.”
Xiao Muxue thought to herself.
However, in the next moment, she couldn’t help but shake her head again.
“However, it no longer matters whether Changyu is the Tenth Prince or not. The Immortal King’s relics are the most important for now. Let’s hope others won’t pick the fruit.”
Xiao Muxue murmured to herself before walking towards the sect quietly.
Soon, Xiao Muxue arrived at the Qingyun Dao Sect.
The changes in the sect made Xiao Muxue a little dumbfounded.
In particular, when she saw Daoist Tai Hua giving out various commands, she couldn’t help but be confused.
“Muxue, you’re here too. Come and see how our sect is.”
Daoist Tai Hua was a little surprised to see Xiao Muxue and soon walked towards her and pointed at the buildings excitedly.
“Sect Leader, tell us honestly, how many taels of silver did you borrow?”
Xiao Muxue asked.
Daoist Tai Hua’s face turned sullen immediately.
‘What do you mean how many did I borrow?’
‘Am I such a person?’
Seeing Daoist Tai Hua’s reaction, Xiao Muxue did not continue dwelling on that problem.
“Has Ye Ping come back?”
Xiao Muxue asked casually.
“He’s back, do you need to see him for something?”
Daoist Tai Hua asked curiously.
“Yes.”
Xiao Muxue had indeed come back this time to look for Ye Ping, because there was something that she needed him to do.
“I advise you to not look for him.”
Daoist Tai Hua said earnestly.
“Why?”
In an instant, Xiao Muxue was a little curious.
“When Ye Ping returned, I did a divination for him and discovered that he might face a huge calamity lately.”
“You’re not planning to make him go out, are you? If so, I’ll be the first to object.”
Daoist Tai Hua said with an extremely serious expression.
“Huge calamity?”
Xiao Muxue frowned slightly.
“Yes, the divination gave us an inauspicious outcome. During this period of time, I have been thinking of ways to help him resolve it.”
Daoist Tai Hua nodded and said so.
Xiao Muxue instantly sighed with relief after hearing his words.
It seemed that there was a high rate of success in the matter that she wanted to achieve.
“Muxue, what are you doing? Don’t go to Ye Ping. You’re away from the sect all the time and you probably got into trouble out there but don’t take Ye Ping along with you.”
At this point, before Daoist Tai Hua finished speaking, Xiao Muxue had already left, making Daoist Tai Hua a little anxious.
Ye Ping was really going to face some inauspicious matters, and if he really encountered a mishap, who could be responsible?
However, Xiao Muxue ignored Daoist Tai Hua and simply left the place.
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Xiao Muxue walked over slowly.
She stared at Ye Ping, who was on the rear cliff, with bewilderment in her eyes.
She really couldn’t understand what Ye Ping was trying to do.
However, Xiao Muxue did not bother Ye Ping and instead sat at the side to watch him quietly.
Moreover, she had come over this time to ask Ye Ping for a favor.
In fact, it would be better to say that she was sending Ye Ping an opportunity.
The Immortal King Relic was going to appear soon.
That was the relic that the five dynasties had dreamed of.
Initially, finding the Immortal King’s relics had nothing to do with Ye Ping, but when they discovered it, it contained the Ancient Lock Spirit Array.
Once one stepped into the relic, their cultivation level would be suppressed to the Golden Core realm regardless of how strong they were.
That was also the reason why the five dynasties were doing their best to groom Golden Core realm elites.
There was still one year to go before the Immortal King Relic would be opened.
Xiao Muxue came over this time to make Ye Ping start his rigorous training regime.
She believed in Ye Ping’s strength.
At this moment, Xiao Muxue gazed at Ye Ping, who was not far away, with a golden glint in her eyes. She saw through him immediately.
“Your Qi and Blood is like a True Dragon and your Dharmic Dao is like an ancient bell. Ye Ping, what cultivation technique do you cultivate?”
“Both your physical body and Dharmic Dao are extremely strong.”
“Even the other elites can’t reach your level.”
Xiao Muxue was astounded.
Be it his physical body or his Dharmic Dao, Ye Ping was extremely strong.
It was completely unbelievable. Ye Ping was just like a freak.
The only thing that made Xiao Muxue somewhat silent and confused was Ye Ping’s repeated action of picking up the sword and putting it down again
‘What is going on?’
‘You can get enlightenment from this?’
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Thus, four hours passed.
At this moment…
In the Great Xia Dynasty Palace, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was in the main hall.
Below the hall, there was a eunuch standing at the bottom and speaking to the crown prince subserviently.
“Congratulations to the Crown Prince, congratulations to the Crown Prince.”
The eunuch was kneeling on the ground, seemingly extremely excited.
“Oh? Eunuch Li, what’s the joyous occasion? What brings you here?”
Hearing this, Xia Qian couldn’t help but stand up and look at Eunuch Li who was in front of him.
His eyes were filled with curiosity.
Eunuch Li was the eunuch who served the emperor and could not be considered a favored person. However, he was a close servant of the emperor. Since he was there to congratulate them, he must have something to say.
“Crown Prince, a few days ago, His Majesty asked the people of the Imperial Clothing Pavilion to expedite the customization of the ten-odd sets of robes.”
“All the clothes are tailored according to the emperor’s instructions. I think that no one else in this world except the emperor can have clothes made on such a large scale.”
“After thinking about it, I think that only you are worthy of wearing these clothes, Your Highness.”
Eunuch Li chuckled and congratulated the Crown Prince.
As soon as he said that, Xia Qian couldn’t help but be overjoyed. Although he held the power of supervising the nation, he obviously did not know about the production of the robes.
After hearing Eunuch Li’s words, he couldn’t help but be over the moon.
However, Xia Qian seemed hesitant.
“Maybe Father made those clothes for himself. Eunuch Li, why do you think that they’re for me?”
The Crown Prince was curious. Clothes-making was not that rare of a matter.
He was a little curious as to why it was said to have been created for him.
“Your Highness, you probably don’t know about this.”
“I’m often staying by His Majesty’s side and he has more than enough clothes. Besides, even if he needs more clothes, he won’t have to ask for it. The Four Seasons Clothing House produces lots of clothes for His Majesty each year.”
“Besides, if His Majesty needs to have his clothes made, there’s no need for him to send an order personally.”
Eunuch Li’s reasonable words made Xia Qian more and more delighted.
However, he was still a little curious.
“But why does Father want to reward me with new clothes?”
Xia Qian continued to ask.
“It must be because Your Highness has worked hard to supervise the nation so His Majesty specifically got them to tailor-make some clothes for you as a reward.”
Eunuch Li said smilingly.
After hearing his words, Xia Qian couldn’t hide the joy on his face.
“Hahaha, since that’s the case, then thank you, Eunuch Li.”
As he spoke, Xia Qian waved his hand, and in an instant, a precious jade appeared in Eunuch Li’s hand.
It was the Psychic Jade treasure which was often used as a reward for others by the powerful nobles of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Psychic Jade was exclusive to the royals. It was not considered rare but there weren’t many in the world either. It could speed up the cultivation of cultivators and it was naturally very precious for the royals.
To the royals, it was naturally best for it to be used as a reward.
“Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness.”
Having received a benefit, Eunuch Li naturally smiled and bowed continuously towards the Crown Prince.
“It’s just a trivial token. Eunuch Li, you have to put in a good word for me in front of my father often.”
Xia Qian said politely.
That was what his character was like. He had almost no enemies because in his opinion, he would basically not take the initiative to provoke the other party as long as it was not a big feud.
His goal was to become the emperor, and hence, he was very clear about what he wanted to do and what he didn’t.
He could please a lackey for the sake of the throne, but he knew that as long as he ascended the throne, all his efforts to suck up to the lackey would be worth it.
He would at most kill them. That would be enough.
Eunuch Li left smilingly.
Xia Qian also smiled and returned to his seat. He didn’t care about this matter at all.
It was just a few pieces of clothing, and even if his father had gotten them made for him, he wouldn’t feel anything much.
As long as it wasn’t a gift for others, he wouldn’t mind.
The reason why the reward was given to Eunuch Li was entirely because Eunuch Li had gone to him immediately after receiving the news.
If he had the intention to do it, it would mean that Eunuch Li supported him.
Since he supported him, he wouldn’t mind giving him a Psychic Jade.
After all, it wouldn’t matter no matter how many gifts he gave away now.
At the end of the day, as long as he ascended the throne, the entire Great Xia Dynasty would belong to him.
If he gave out more treasures, it wouldn’t mean much to the entire treasure vault of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Five minutes later, in the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was wearing a black dragon robe. There were major changes in his aura.
Seated in the main hall, he was just like a huge divine mountain that made them feel terrified.
The current emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was the true emperor.
He was the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty who swallowed the mountain and river, and dominated the world.
“Li Si.”
Within the main hall, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice resounded.
Soon, Eunuch Li walked in.
As he stepped into the main hall, he seemed extremely nervous.
Regardless of how many times he had met the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, he would be uncontrollably nervous. After all, he was the king of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, Li Si nevertheless walked over slowly before kneeling on the ground.
Unlike now, when Li Si met the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he didn’t have to kneel down like he did now in front of the emperor. That was the greatest difference between the Crown Prince and the Emperor.
“Has the matter of the clothes been settled?”
In the Heart-Nurturing Palace, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was seated on his seat and looking through some appraisals without even looking at Li Si.
He said calmly, “The completion date is estimated to be within three days. By then, I will have someone send the clothes to the Crown Prince’s residence.”
Li Si knelt on the ground and said without any intention to overstep his bounds.
However, as soon as he said that, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but ask calmly, “Who said that the clothes are to be delivered to the Crown Prince’s residence?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s tone was calm as he asked Li Si that question.
As soon as he said that, Li Si was immediately stunned.
‘Not for the Crown Prince?’
‘Who is it for then?’
There was still one thing that he hadn’t told the Crown Prince about, and that was that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had ordered had a youthful style. That was the reason why he was certain that it was for the Crown Prince.
However, he did not expect the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty to say that it was not for the Crown Prince.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault for being self-righteous. Please spare me.”
Li Si was kneeling on the ground and shivering in shock.
Looking at Li Si who was on the ground, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not feel any hint of emotion, but in an instant, he saw the Psychic Jade in Li Si’s interspatial ring.
Soon, the Emperor’s eyes were full of disgust.
He was full of disdain
What did emperors hate the most?
An emperor hated having someone try to poach their loyal subjects.
What else did they hate more? Their loyal subjects being successfully poached away.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty understood that he was about to step down from the throne soon, and hence, there were naturally people who coveted the throne. Twenty years ago, Li Si probably wouldn’t waver even if the Crown Prince offered him countless benefits.
Now that he had accepted the benefits, he naturally had to stand on the Crown Prince’s side. There was nothing much to comment about that.
However, the disgust that he had shown previously was not because of that.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty naturally wouldn’t be disgusted about such things.
He mainly thought about Su Changyu, whom he thought was the Tenth Prince. Su Changyu managed to make Gu Jianxian his disciple and become the Senior Brother of a prominent figure of the Heavenly Supervisory.
Yet, the Crown Prince tried to suck up to a eunuch.
It made him feel disgusted.
“Send all the clothes to Taishang Xuanji. Go get the Crown Prince to come here.”
Li Si got up and then hurriedly walked out of the hall with his heart beating rapidly, feeling as if he had survived an ordeal.
However, at this moment, Li Si felt that he was overly eager.
He was too anxious.
Although the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was about to step down, he still had at least ten years to go, so laying plans ahead was an act of betrayal in the eyes of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Fortunately, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty did not care about it. If he did, he would have probably died thousands of times.
At this moment, Li Si completely understood why the authoritative ministers in the dynasty did not dare to get involved in the battle for the throne.
15 minutes later.
Xia Qian appeared outside the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
“Father.”
Xia Qian spoke calmly. Without a word, he called out towards the hall.
“Come in.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice sounded.
Xia Qian then slowly entered the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
He was still composed and collected. As the Crown Prince, there was nothing he was afraid of.
“On 2nd January, the Fiendcelestial Cult suddenly attacked the Li Nation and there were countless casualties.”
“On 15th January, the calamity of the sea happened and 20 treasure ships were destroyed.”
“On 19th January, we won the border conflict.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty sounded extremely calm in the Heart-Nurturing Palace.
The Crown Prince, Xia Qian, couldn’t help but be silent after hearing those voices.
Five minutes later, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice ceased.
In the next moment, all the appraisals on the table were immediately swept onto the ground.
In an instant, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty stood up, and there was unconcealable anger in his gaze.
“Xia Qian! Do you know what you have done wrong?”
His thunderous voice made Xia Qian turn pale in shock.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, hoping to calm himself down, but standing in front of his father, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Qian could not calm down at all.
“I know my mistakes, please forgive me.”
Xia Qian kneeled on the ground with his head hung low while his heart beat rapidly.
“You know your mistakes? Tell me what you’ve done wrong then.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice became calm again, but his calmness made everyone even more terrified.
As soon as he said that, Xia Qian answered slowly.
“I failed to supervise the nation properly and caused the Great Xia Dynasty to suffer consecutive calamities.”
Xia Qian said.
“You failed to supervise the nation properly?”
“Hah, what a great excuse.”
“You really hold out hope until you’re faced with the grim reality.”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty sneered, making Xia Qian turn pale.
“Three years ago, I gave you the task of supervising the nation and you did a good job in the first year.”
“However, during the second year, you have changed. You took advantage of the responsibility of the supervision of the country to see the appraisals and grasp business opportunities for personal gains. You even raked in earnings from the disasters the nation suffered.”
“At that time, I put up with you.”
“I knew that since you’re the Crown Prince, you have lots to take care of, and I knew that you had to spend a lot of money to bribe others.”
“However, in the third year, you saw that I did not control you, and so you got more and more greedy. You even drew a salary without doing your job.”
“But you know what? Even if you had done that, I would not be angry.”
“Due to the fact that you are the Crown Prince, you need money and by doing that, you might have affected some people, but in general, there was no effect on the Great Xia Dynasty.”
“Do you know what exactly is wrong with you?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty stated Xia Qian’s actions clearly.
However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was not furious about those matters.
The reason being, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Qian, was just trying to get money. Besides, the amount he got was just a drop in the bucket.
What really made him angry was another matter.
“Father, please enlighten me. I really have no idea.”
Knowing that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was not upset with him for trying to earn money, Xia Qian got even more terrified because he did not know what else he had done wrong.
“You want me to get straight to the point?”
“Sure, I’ll tell you directly.”
“You took the initiative to form friendly ties with the Great Ze Dynasty for the sake of securing your throne.”
“However, the last thing you should have done is to inform the Great Ze Dynasty of the non-poisonous pill formula.”
“That concerns the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty!”
“Besides, you are the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Yet, you were so subservient to the Great Ze Dynasty.”
“You’ve really disgraced the Great Xia Dynasty.”
“Even though the Great Ze Dynasty is inferior to the Great Xia Dynasty, we are both dynasties.”
“Today, you are respectful to the Great Xia Dynasty, but after you ascend the throne, are you going to make the Great Xia Dynasty a vassal state of the Great Ze Dynasty?”
At this point, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty’s voice was as loud as thunder.
The Crown Prince was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground.
Shock was written all over his face.
Due to the deal that he had made with the Great Ze Dynasty, he was certain that his father definitely did not know about it.
However, he didn’t expect his father to have found out.
‘This… this… this is unbelievable.’
However, at this moment,
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty spoke again, making Xia Qian dumbfounded.
“You got up to all these sordid acts. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to change the Crown Prince?”
A voice sounded.
It was immediately silent in the main hall.
