Yuteng could help others advance in their cultivation level?
Thinking
about their own future, they all beamed as they looked at little Yuteng.
“What are
you still standing around for? Go run!”
Under little
Yuteng’s order, they immediately resumed running, including little Lu Zhu.
Cheng Xiao
Xiao casted them a look and prepared to return into the house. She has total
confidence in placing these people in little Yuteng’s little hands.
Zhou
Jinjiang was kneeling motionlessly in the emperor’s study!
The emperor,
sitting on his dragon throne, paid him no attention. He was marking up
memorials with red ink.
With one
sitting and one kneeling, the only sound that could be heard in the entire
royal study was the breathing of the two and the sound of brush pen writing on
memorials.
An hour had
passed and the even though his knees were going numb, Zhou Jinjiang still dare
not move. Sweats were dripping down his forehead yet he dare not wipe them with
his hand.
Finally, the
emperor put down his brush pen and, lifting his head, took a quick look at the
kneeling man.
The emperor
of Dafeng was in his fifties. As he was also a cultivator, he didn’t look at
age at all. Instead, he looked to be about 30 or so.
“You sure
about this?” The emperor’s voice was not loud, yet the majestic in his voice
caused sweat to pour down Zhou Jinjiang’s forehead.
Still, he
kept his back straight and said in a deep voice, “I beg you to grant me my
wish, your majesty!”
“It seems
like you only have your bother in your eyes, not me….”
“I dare
not!” said Zhou Jinjiang with discomfort in his voice.
The emperor
picked up the ginseng tea on his table and slowly took a sip before he said,
“What do you mean by you dare not? Don’t you want to abandon me?”
“Please
forgive me, your majesty!”
Zhou
Jinjiang understood the emperor’s personality. There could be no chicanery, no
deceit. He must tell the emperor his true feelings, then maybe he would get the
approval that he needed.
“Forgiveness?
If I really want to punish you, I’m afraid the Cheng’s would come into Emperor
City to pick fight with me!” said the emperor with unclear emotions.
“……..” Zhou
Jinjiang lowered his head. He dare not respond to that line.
The emperor seemed to have lost his interest
seeing him like that. He asked again, “You can get up. I heard that the Cheng’s
gifted you a mystical beast, can you show it to me?”
Purposefully
or not purposefully, the way the emperor talked to this subordinate seemed to
be more cordial and less regal.
“Your
subject thank you, your majesty!”
Zhou
Jinjiang got up slowly. After he had straightened up, he let out the fiery
bird.
The fiery
bird had been staying in the mystical beast pouch this entire time and was very
happy to be out. It nuzzled its master with its head. Its affinity toward Zhou
Jinjiang even made the emperor envious.
Rumor had it
that those at the Mystical Beast Palace possessed their own mystical beasts;
but very few in Dafeng own any mystical beasts. Now that he saw others having
one, even as an emperor he was a bit envious. After all, he, too, was a
cultivator.
“That is a
beautiful bird. What kind of bird is it?”
“Your
Majesty, it’s a Fiery Bird. One could ride on it and it could also breath fire
in combat.” Zhou Jinjiang reached out and patted the bird on its head. He voice
full of happiness.
A flash of
envy crossed the emperor’s eyes. He nodded and said, “Great. Pretty and
powerful. I see the Cheng’s treated you well!”
“Your
subject is fortunate!”
“Yes, you
are fortunate, but so are Cheng Biyuan!” The emperor had a mysterious smile and
continued, “Back then, you were the only person who didn’t care that he was
labelled a trash and maintained your friendship with him. It is only normal
that he is returning you the favor.”
