Divine Brilliance - Chapter 618

Chapter 618 Annoying Troublemaker

Zhang Huai was stunned. Zong Shou’s analysis and evaluation of him wasn’t a strategist but a Prime Minister?

He couldn’t help but raise his head and look at the person in front of him. This time he felt that his decision really wasn’t wrong.

In the next instant, he shuddered as he looked at Zong Shou’s left shoulder. After he identified what it was, his pupils constricted greatly.

Zong Shou didn’t feel anything, his face helpless, “Unfortunately, the cabinet roles change once in five years. I will nominate a choice and then the meeting hall will decide. Although I am the King I can’t override the country rules.”

He sighed whilst he said this. Moments later his eyes lit up as he thought of a way to deal with this person, “How about this? I can nominate you to join the meeting hall as a participant and also give you the title of Country Advisor. Are you willing to lower yourself?”

Zhang Huai was distracted and only when he heard that last sentence did he come back to his senses. He bowed, “How would I not dare follow Ruler’s orders?”

Whilst he said this, he felt a bit strange. What kind of role was Country Advisor? Why hadn’t he heard of it before?

Zong Shou nodded his head slightly. He had six space ships and also two million Fox Race Members to handle. He didn’t have time to speak with Zhang Huai, with no expression sweeping Ren Tianxing, “Although you were reckless and didn’t follow rules you have contributed greatly. You will be punished and rewarded accordingly. Go back and we will discuss!”

After he said this he flew up and toward those six space ships.

When Zong Shou was far away, Aokun smiled, “Zhang Huai do you recognize that thing?”

“I roughly do. Senior is that a Qilin?”

Zhang Huai snuck a look at the person’s expression, then he sighed. He wasn’t sure. He had seen a true Qilin before which was why he was able to recognize its aura. But as for whether this Fire Qilin Baby was one or not he wasn’t sure.

Looking at Aokun’s expression, now it was enough confirmation.

He was shocked, Qilin accompanied him. Is this highness really the Saint King?

In the world, when the God Emperor was about to appear, why is someone like you comparable to an ancient Saint Emperor? What is all this?

※※※※

Pretty much at the same time, within Gantian Mountain City, a woman in a red skirt was casually strolling the green stone streets.

The chaos was over and there were still many places in the city that were in a mess. The corpses of the twenty thousand Xue Family Members and some other Race Soldiers were stacked up in mountains. Blood flowed and the stench was nose-piercing.

However, apart from the minority, most didn’t have experience discomfort. When Zong Weiran built this city, 70% of the people had been through times when they drank blood, true savages. They ate one meal and skipped one, struggling in the wilderness. They were used to seeing dead people.

Such a small scene wasn’t something they were bothered by!

As for those who joined Gantian Mountain after, most of them didn’t have weak cultivation and were really strong. These people went through numerous battles so naturally they weren’t bothered by death.

The moment the chaos quietened down, there were many people who opened their shops to do business once more. There were many passers-by who were discussing what had happened.

“I told you that the ruler was heroic and strong, how could he lose to that Xue Family?”

“Eight Tail Xue Family? They really thought they were big shots! Actually daring to make our Ruler sit on a mule carriage, what bullies! Now it’s good, their entire race is wiped out…”

“That Ten Thousand City alliance fell, Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect fell, now another Xue Family…”

“Now we finally have peace. A few months ago I was worrying that Ruler couldn’t tide past this. Such a smart ruler is indeed rare!”

“That’s right! Although the taxes here are a little heavy I can straighten my back and talk to people. The old have someone to rely on and the young can be raised, where else are there such benefits?”

“Before this I was worried something would happen to the Ruler, Donglin in chaos and the business failing.”

The teen walked on the streets and heard the people talking. Slowly, two rows of tears flowed down her cheeks. She was calm but her eyes showed slight emotional changes. Looking closely, she was actually feeling touched about something…

What was weird was that she looked beautiful, her aura exquisite. The speed she was walking at wasn’t fast nor slow but the entire street full of people didn’t sense her at all. No one could feel her presence.

Moments later she paused, her head turning around to the side. A few people seemed to be debating about something.

One was dressed like a normal commoner, the other wore expensive clothing and had several people following behind.

Beside them, there were five armored soldiers wearing Gantian Mountain armor with long knives by their waists.

There were hundreds of people crowding around to spectate.

Normally the weaker side would have to swallow his anger. However, this person was furious, showing no fear at all. His left hand was in a fist and right hand was pointing right at the nose of the Noble Young Master, “You have to compensate me for my injuries today no matter what. No matter how rich you are or strong you are you still have to kneel in front of me! Without 10 Grade-2 Beast Crystals, don’t think about ending this matter!”

The face of the Young Master flushed red with rage, he wanted to blow up but seemed to be worried about something. The servant at the side hollered, “We were riding the horse on the path. You were the one that knocked over. Just now my Young Master had retracted the reins and didn’t even hit you!”

The injured party scoffed coldly, “If you didn’t hurt me then where did my injuries come from?”

At this moment, out of the five of the soldiers, the one wearing more tidy armor and who seemed to be the leader, his brow furrowed, “Dingkun don’t go too far! You try this every day, if not ten times at least eight. This entire street is clear about what happened…”

Dingkun laughed coldly, turning around and looking at the five soldiers, his eyes filled with a threatening intent, “Patrol Fang, why do I not know what you are talking about? What do you mean? Do you have any proof? Do you not want to continue as a patroller? Today if you can’t handle this fairly I will complain to Meeting Hall Participant Chen. Do you believe that my Ding Family thirteen thousand people can’t get him to look for your superior to talk!”

Patrol Fang’s face changed, his aura turning sharp. Then, his eyes were filled with helplessness.

The female in the red skirt looked on quietly at the side, deep in thought. Suddenly, there was an energy change beside her, a similar-looking person who was also petite appeared behind her.

She also curiously looked on at these scenes. To her, although these people were like ants she was slightly interested.

“Wasn’t it said that Zong Shou’s rule was clean, one wouldn’t lose items even if they dropped it on the streets and one didn’t even need to lock their homes? Why is there such a troublemaker?”

Following this, she mocked coldly, “If it was me I would smack this person to death! Who would allow him to be so arrogant?”

The woman in the red smiled and shook her head, not agreeing nor disagreeing, “You only feel that this troublemaker is annoying but I know that in other places of the Cloud World, who would dare be so shameless like him. He’s already lucky to not have been killed on the spot…”

The woman’s eyes shone, then she smiled and didn’t speak.

In other places such a troublemaker wouldn’t dare offend such a noble.

Thinking about this, maybe the way she dealt with things was different from Zong Shou which was why the latter would for some reason have that Saint King phenomenon and even a Qilin accompaniment.

To her, if she met such a person, even if she didn’t kill him on the spot, she would make him suffer a huge loss to vent her frustration.

Why would she bother to argue with him?

Zong Shou’s rule had too many rules. One couldn’t do this nor that, how annoying!

She turned around and looked towards the woman in the red skirt. Then, her body was fixed to the spot.

The sister actually teared…

Why was that?

“Sister do you know? Actually I always thought that senior brother Xi Zi’s life wish had no chance of succeeding. In my eyes, it was all for nothing…”

The woman in the red shirt continued, her mind slowly drifting off, “Very amusing right? With everyone being equal, no matter if one was weak or poor, strong or weak, they would be treated equally. Even if I knew it was a dream and wrong, as it was his wish we continued to walk down that path.”

When the teen in the red shirt, heard that she was expressionless. If her older sister was like that, obviously she was too?

“But Zong Shou, his Gantian Mountain seemed to have done it!”

As she said that, the red shirt teen had a complicated expression as she looked around, “There was still a difference between rich and poor, a wealth inequality, but inn this world there is no other place better than here!”

She mocked herself, “How amusing! Both of us have done so many bad things and killed so many innocent people for Senior Brother’s life wish. Even willing to die together to wipe out several sects. We didn’t think that the Common People Pathsect decree that even we didn’t believe in would be so easily fulfilled by his Junior. No wonder Junior Nephew Wei Xu would say those words…”

The teen in the red shirt didn’t speak. In these few thousand years, she walked millions of worlds. She truly didn’t find any other place better than this.

Speaking of which, this was weird. Since the day she saw Zong Shou she felt that she seemed to have changed.

The exhaustion accumulated from ten thousand years slowly dissipated. The intent which was shaking long ago became firm once more. There seemed to be a pillar that appeared in her heart.

Only because that fire Qilin seemed to recognize his path, Saint King Path…

The beliefs she insisted on weren’t that much of a joke after all!

She then shook her head strongly, why was she thinking so much?

It was another thing whether this kid could become the Saint Emperor? Who knows maybe a few days later the Qilin would abandon him.

“Senior Sister If we don’t leave, those other people will be anxious…”

“Oh!”

The female in the red skirt replied but she looked forward, nostalgic with no intention of leaving.

“Don’t we still have a day? I want to walk around more and look around more. After we leave today who knows how long before we will be able to return!”
