Chapter 464: A Royal Decree 9

Eastern Hua Continent, south area, Daming Empire.

Chaoyang Hall.

A man in his fifties stood facing the rising sun with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his head held high. He was visibly old, but his aura was not weak at all.

There was a rather greasy faint smile on the man’s lips; he seemed to be in a great mood.

This was the emperor of Daming, Yuan Wende.

The emperor of Daming was standing on top of a dais. He touched his beard that had long turned white and said, “Why did that young grand master kill Pang Juan but spare Gongsun She?” Why would he be unhappy with this outcome? Pang Juan was dead but their Gongsun She was still alive.

That said…

He glanced at the several important courtiers below him.

The commander-in-chief of the imperial guards first snuck a look at the others before stepping forward and say, “Your Majesty, according to the information from the Zhaixing Administration and the reports from our spies in Qingzhou City, it is likely that elder Gongsun She was the first to meet with Qi Qingyao. And since he showed excellent character during their meeting, the young man named Si Jin deliberately spared elder Gongsun She’s life.”

The Daming emperor asked, “Has Gongsun She still not returned?”

All the officials shook their heads.

The emperor of Daming was silent.

Suddenly, in the midst of that strange silence.

The doors of Chaoyang Hall were thrown open.

An old eunuch ran in with a document in his hand, a pleasantly surprised look on his face.

He raised his voice as he shouted.

“I have a report.”

The Daming emperor raised his head.

The old eunuch, Cao Pingan, trotted excitedly all the way to his majesty while clutching the document.

He said respectfully, “Your Majesty, it’s a very urgent letter.”

“Bring it here,” the emperor said, stretching out his hand.

The old eunuch raised his hands to present the document to the emperor.

The emperor of Daming opened the urgent secret report. He took a glance through it exclaimed in satisfaction.

“It is good news, good news!!”

The courtiers below him were incessantly surprised and curious.

What was the good news?

Could Mr. Gongsun She have sent this letter?

Just as they were coming to this conclusion, excitement flashed through the emperor of Daming’s turbid eyes.

He announced, “It’s a letter from Gongsun She.”

The courtiers were instantly excited as they called out, “Your Majesty!”

The emperor of Daming declared to the crowd as he put away the secret report, “The old gentleman is safe, his injuries have healed and he said he will soon return and assured me not to worry.”

“…”

After being in a state of constant anxiety, the courtiers’ hearts all relaxed.

Everyone knew that Pang Juan was already dead.

As such, the powers of the major nations would likely have to be recalculated.

Although elder Gongsun did not die, if he had been injured to the point that he no longer had the power of a grand master, it would still be a staggering blow to Daming.

However…

A letter had now arrived.

It entailed that he was safe and that his injuries were healed.

That meant that Daming still had their best strategic weapon.

They were fortunate.

Suddenly, a pleased expression appeared on the corners of the lips of the emperor of Daming. He waved his hand and said, “Please leave, all of you. I would like to be alone for a while.”

The courtiers withdrew one by one.

The emperor of Daming stood alone in Chaoyang Hall, deep in thought.

“Old sir, you have left me with a huge question.”

It was the Harbinger.

Gongsun She referenced this term in his letter.

He even brought up the reason for Pang Juan’s death, revealing that it was because Pang Juan had tried to kidnap the daughter Qi Qingyao, who was the “master” of that young grand master.

That was why Pang Juan died.

The emperor of Daming frowned as he mulled over the term “Harbinger”.

The old gentleman did not offer more explanation in his letter but gave the emperor a suggestion instead, saying that if the people of Daming were to encounter Qi Qingyao in the future, they should be on guard and not try to pry into her affairs. They should also aid the little lady during crucial moments.

This… would be very useful.

The emperor of Daming stayed in deep contemplation for a while.

He sighed.

Everything depended on the old gentleman.

At this time, Yuan Wende, the emperor of Daming, still did not know that his small decision today would make Daming the most powerful nation on the continent in the future.

…

…

Qi Qingyao had not left her house recently.

She had been at home mulling over two matters.

Firstly, Dabao had been enlightened.

He had opened a total of fifteen pressure points out of seventeen.

Although he was not as talented as Erniu, Lu Yan said that with this qualification, he could cultivate all the way to rank nine in the future! If he were lucky, he could even reach grand mastership with no problems.

Naturally, Qi Qingyao was ecstatic. Now she had to pick a teacher.

She had not chosen a cultivation teacher for Erniu and Dabao.

This started to worry her a little.

Secondly, Lu Yan had reminded her of something.

He told her that she and Si Jin were very close.

He also stressed that Si Jin was a young grand master.

The fact that Si Jin killed Pang Juan and seriously injured Gongsun She was not something that could be hidden for long. Once the imperial court found out and the empress summoned them, it would be too late.

Lu Yan wanted to know if she was prepared to head to the capital.

Qi Qingyao gave her answer—she was not ready.

To her, trouble would follow the moment she stepped foot into the capital,

While she stayed in Qingzhou City, with her current wealth, her friend Lu Yan and Si Jin by her side, she could still more or less qualify as a local tyrant and had no problems doing whatever she wanted in Qingzhou City.

In the capital, however,…

In that place, the good and the bad were all jumbled up together.

The allocation of power was complex; it was not a place a little lady from a village like her could easily muddle through.

There was one good thing about the capital, however, which was that the quality of education was definitely better than in Qingzhou City. If the triplets were to study there, they would surely learn more things than in Qingzhou City.

That was why Qi Qingyao continued to be worried…
