Chapter 52: The entire ethos of Wu Country has been led astray i
I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

Everyone in Wu Country knows that the current Emperor of Wu loves to go on frequent inspection tours.

During his ten-year reign, after spending the first two years consolidating the royal power and authority, he has made a tour every year for the following eight years.

Of course, every time he returns from a tour, there’s always a new concubine in the palace.

An unexpected incident occurred during the tour three months ago.

Meng Chong took a completely new approach to his vengeance. He didn’t throw himself into martial arts training, nor did he join the bandits in the mountains to gather forces from the underworld for revenge. He didn’t even take the route of serving in the government.

After all, the Meng Family, led by Tian Ping, is one of the great families, and there are plenty of officials in the court of Wu country related to the Meng Family.

Meng Chong came up with an even more ruthless way to exact revenge!

He seized the opportunity of the Emperor of Wu’s tour to launch an assassination!

The Emperor was in his carriage, preparing to indulge in some intimate activities with a newly selected beauty, when he heard a loud roar.

“Tian Ping Meng Chong, here to slay the profligate, incompetent, and brutal dog emperor!”

The sudden roar frightened the Emperor of Wu to the point of weakness.

He was absolutely livid.

Meng Chong was fierce. He rampaged with a large cleaver, piercing through layers of guards – he even managed to escape successfully!

The Emperor of Wu was livid. After investigation, he found out that the culprit who attempted the assassination was the legitimate lineage of the Tian Ping Meng Family!

Banishment! Total banishment!

Punishment to the ninth degree!

It must be punishment to the ninth degree!

The Emperor immediately issued a decree, his army marched directly into the Meng Family home and arrested everyone!

The whole Meng Family was just dumbfounded.

They didn’t know what had happened, but suddenly they were criminals of high treason!

Once they knew the truth, they cried out in profound injustice!

What an enormous wrong!

The Meng Family had just banished Meng Chong, and then he went to attempt to assassinate the Emperor?

This was Meng Chong’s way of revenge?

Everyone in the Meng Family was struck dumb. What on earth was this? Who the hell takes revenge in such a way?

Are you out of your mind?!

This is a capital crime that incurs punishment to the ninth degree!

The entire court of Wu Country was unsettled due to this assassination attempt, officials were fearful and cautious, anyone associated with the Meng Family was thrown into prison.

This is a capital crime punishable by execution up to the ninth degree of kin!

The repercussions were expanding. If punishment to the ninth degree were implemented, it seemed like it might even affect some members of the imperial family.

In the end, the sentence was total banishment!

Upon investigation, it appeared that this assassination attempt was actually Meng Chong’s revenge against the Meng Family.

Though that was the case, the Emperor of Wu wouldn’t excuse the Meng Family.

If this precedent were set, wouldn’t others with ulterior motives simply banish a person from their family before committing a treasonous act against the emperor? If the act failed, wouldn’t they avoid involvement?

Where would be the dignity of royal authority?

Where would be his dignity as the Emperor of Wu?

Total banishment is a must!

This precedent cannot be set!

As a result, the entire Meng Family was executed!

On the day of execution, with cries up to heaven and down to earth, they lamented how unjust this was and cursed at Meng Chong. How dare he exact revenge in such a way?

News of this spread throughout Wu Country. Everyone was dumbstruck. Who takes revenge in such a way?

What kind of mind could conceive such a ruthless method of revenge?

The most ridiculous thing was that Meng Chong, the culprit of the assassination attempt on the Emperor of Wu, actually escaped…

The Emperor of Wu issued a reward for his capture!

Caption: Ten thousand Gold!

After hearing the reason, Li Xuan found his view towards Meng Chong had changed.

This bald youth sure thinks differently.

“Didn’t you just say that there was a bounty of ten thousand Gold on his head? Why did you say earlier that the Wu Country offered a hundred thousand Gold?”

Li Xuan suddenly noticed something wrong.

Meng Chong said that he had a bounty of ten thousand Gold on his head, and he had been hiding and fleeing all the way to Qi Country to seek refuge.

However, Shi’er had said the reward was a hundred thousand Gold!

Shi’er’s face twitched, he looked at Meng Chong with a sort of awe – this natural bald youth had invented such a unprecedented method of revenge.

H

Sir, the thing is, Meng Chong’s method of revenge has set an example for others…”

Shi’er looked at Meng Chong peculiarly, recounting what had happened after Meng Chong had attempted to assassinate the Emperor of Wu.

Meng Chong’s unprecedented method of revenge had spread across Wu Country, naturally becoming a big topic of conversation.

Unexpectedly, it led to a trend throughout the whole Wu Country.

In Wu Country, a servant of the former Minister of Personnel fell in love with a woman. However, she was taken by force by the son of the Minister.

The servant sought justice, but instead, his parents were killed, and he was brutally beaten, suffering torment every day.

The Minister’s son, somewhat sadistic, would frequently beat the servant and repeatedly claim the woman he loved right in front of him.

He wouldn’t kill the servant.

Only torture him!

Upon hearing of Meng Chong’s actions, the servant was inspired.

He suddenly understood what he needed to do in order to seek revenge.

He managed to escape when no one was watching and hid himself. He made a bow and stole a knife.

After the assassination attempt on Meng Chong had calmed down, the Emperor of Wu went on another tour, completing the one he couldn’t finish last time.

But!

He was assassinated again!

The servant from the Minister of Personnel’s residence had dared to attack him!

“The tyrant must die!”

With this roar, the Emperor of Wu was enraged.

The servant was killed!

Upon investigation, he was found to be a servant from the Minister of Personnel’s household.

Execution!

The whole household had to be executed!

The Minister of Personnel and his entire family cried out that they had been wronged!

However, the Emperor’s authority could not be challenged, even if the revenge was sought by a servant.

Better to kill wrongly than let anyone escape!

This precedent could not be set!

The entire household of the Minister of Personnel was executed!

Word of this spread, and the culture of Wu Country began to twist.

The Emperor of Wu once again attempted a tour, trying to complete the previous two failed ones. However, he was assassinated yet again!

The assassin was the nephew of the Prince of the Warriors!

His mother had been insulted by the Prince of the Warriors and was driven to suicide.

So, he decided to follow Meng Chong and seek revenge!

The Emperor of Wu was in distress!

Execution!

Execution of the entire household!

The household of the Prince of the Warriors was also executed.

The officials of the imperial court were in turmoil.

All these were consequences of Meng Chong’s actions!

Everyone advised the Emperor of Wu to stop touring and to just stay within the palace!

If he toured again, there would be no telling which other high-ranked officials might be executed!

The Emperor ended up feeling pressured to stop his tours.

Just when it seemed like things were calming down, another high-ranked official was assassinated.

A servant from a powerful merchant’s house, feeling humiliated, took it upon himself to assassinate the official!

The merchant’s family was imprisoned, and their entire estate confiscated.

If the officials can’t be assassinated, then the ministers will be assassinated!

The entire culture in Wu Country had been led astray.

The way homeowners looked at their servants was full of vigilance. If they treated their servants kindly, wouldn’t their authority be rendered meaningless? It was unheard of for them to treat these lowly people well.

They couldn’t possibly be associated with such people, could they?

If they spoke harsh words and mistreated their servants, they feared the servants might retaliate with assassination.

The ministers, too, were uneasy. They feared assassination while going out and worried that a servant might get a crazy idea to take up arms in their own home.

If they let go of their pride and treated their servants well, wouldn’t their authority be worthless?

Where would their dignity as a lord lie then?

The servants of the rich families in Wu Country were also suffering. They were afraid that their masters might suspect them of wanting to seek revenge, and be beaten to death to prevent them from attempting assassination.

The whole atmosphere in Wu Country had been led astray.

All this was because of Meng Chong!

In Wu country, a popular saying had begun to spread: “Want to seek revenge? Follow Meng Chong!”.

This was truly a disaster!

The Emperor of Wu increased the bounty, swearing to capture Meng Chong and have him executed by quartering!

All the officials were very supportive, and they were willing to contribute their own wealth to increase the reward.

They raised the bounty to an astonishing one hundred thousand taels of gold!

    53 Chapter 53: Accepting A New Apprentice_1

    Li Xuan was stunned. Meng Chong, this young man, single-handedly skewed the entire
    ethos of Wu Country.
    Moreover, his way of revenge, was truly ingenious!
    The way his mind worked was too unique, something an ordinary person could never comprehend!
    A bounty of a hundred thousand taels of gold, no wonder even Shi'er and the followers of Heavenly Mother Sect were enticed. He was basically a walking treasury.
    Who wouldn't be tempted seeing him?!
    Meng Chong was also somewhat
    dumbfounded, surprised, he exclaimed: "So
    much has happened? And, I'm worth a
    hundred thousand taels of gold?"
    He was also tempted, even to the point of
    wanting to sell himself!
    "Yes, a hundred thousand taels of gold!"
    Shi'er nodded, looking at Meng Chong as if he was seeing a goldmine.
    Gulp!
    Meng Chong swallowed a mouthful of saliva,
    wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said, "Let's cooperate!"
    "What?"
    Shi'er was dumbfounded, cooperate?
    "You escort me to a county government office in Wu Country, collect part of the bounty, then intercept me halfway, and again deliver me to another county government office, continue to collect the bounty, again intercept me... and so on..."
    Meng Chong's eyes flashed brightly, continuing: "Avoid sending me to prefecture city, it's too dangerous and not easy to break in. Just send me to county magistrate office, even they would be eager for merits, and
    would still be able to give a part of the bounty,
    even if at their own expense.
    "The Emperor of Wu wants to draw and
    quarter me, the county office would
    absolutely not kill me. I think this is a safe
    move.
    "We can split the bounty, forty-sixty. You get sixty, I get forty, how about that?"
    Shi'er was stupefied and shocked at Meng Chong's unconventional thinking. No wonder he was the one who could come up with a revenge scheme that an ordinary person couldn't even dream of coming up with - a plan to assassinate The Emperor of Wu, which resulted in his Meng Family being implicated and killed.
    Li Xuan looked at Meng Chong, a bald hunk of
    a man, with his unconventional thinking. Planning to fleece the county governments of Wu Country huh?
    A normal person would never think of such a
    scheme.
    Suddenly!
    A light bulb moment flashed in Li Xuan's mind. He looked at Meng Chong with a completely different expression. A person with such an ingenious mind, isn't he the perfect candidate to be his disciple?
    His future disciple was right in front of him!
    With such a thought, his mysterious aura grew stronger, and the image of an obscure cultivator has become even greater within seconds.
    He reached out his hand and grabbed Meng
    Chong's arm.
    While squeezing Meng Chong's arm and
    shoulder, he then said: "Excellent, excellent.
    Young man, you have an exceptional framework and are a martial arts genius.
    Would you like to become my disciple?"
    Shi'er was shocked. This senior actually wanted to accept Meng Chong as his apprentice?
    The thought of how they were planning to
    capture Meng Chong for the bounty made him break into cold sweat.
    Thump!
    Meng Chong immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed, "Disciple Meng Chong, greets master!"
    "Good, good, very good!"
    Li Xuan was overjoyed, his face beaming with
    happiness.
    Meng Chong's mind is smart, and his thinking unconventional. No doubt he could successfully cultivate the technique Li Xuan
    devised.
    Looking at the muscular and bald Meng
    Chong, Li Xuan already had ideas on what kind of cultivation technique to teach him. After accepting a disciple, Li Xuan lost interest in continuing to stroll around.
    He was preparing to take Meng Chong back to his residence when he suddenly thought of something. He turned to Shi'er and said,
    "Does your Heavenly Mother Sect have treasured herbs like the Nine Leaf Ginseng and Thousand Year Mountain Ginseng?"
    He suddenly thought, Xu Yan was able to perceive qi and blood, rapidly increasing the speed of his skin and bone refinement. It probably has something to do with consuming Nine Leaf Ginseng and Thousand Year Mountain Ginseng.
    Since he has accepted a disciple, the start of
    foundation building should be eased with treasured herbs like the Nine Leaf Ginseng. It
    should make for an easier introduction to cultivation.
    Although the cultivation technique may be
    different, the first realm is also the Qi and Blood Realm.
    And it's also for blood refinement.
    Undoubtedly, Meng Chong's physical condition was much stronger and his qi and
    blood were more robust than Xu Yan's was at
    the beginning.
    If he had treasured herbs to aid in his cultivation, he could undoubtedly reach the entry level much faster. Although he didn't have the herbs, the
    Heavenly Mother Sect had many top-notch martial artists and considerable followers, they should have these treasured herbs.
    "Yes, yes, senior!"
    Shi'er was overjoyed at hearing this.
    This was a chance to curry favor with the hidden expert.
    Merely rare medicinal herbs, they can't transform them into nobles.
    "Bring some over!"
    Li Xuan said without mincing his words.
    "Yes, yes, elder!"
    Shi'er hastily nodded.
    Li Xuan looked satisfied. He wasn't worried
    that Shi'er and the rest would run away. Where could they run?
    "The little girl from your Heavenly Mother
    Sect, have her come over when she has time."
    Li Xuan continued to order.
    "Yes, yes!" Shi'er was caught off guard and hastily
    agreed.
    As for whether the Heavenly Mother would
    come or not, that was not his concern. As long
    as he agreed to the elder's instructions, that was enough.
    Li Xuan, satisfied, nodded his head. With his
    new disciple, Meng Chong, he returned home.
    Inside Yunshan County, Li Xuan just received
    a new disciple.
    Within the prefecture city, Xu Yan once again displayed his divine might.
    He beat Kou Ruozhi and other Heavenly Mother Sect experts one by one, beating them
    until they couldn't utilize even one third of
    their martial arts skills for half a month.
    Kou Ruozhi was utterly wrecked. What kind of people are they? We've bowed
    down and submitted, but still they beat us half to death!
    Xu Yan's reasoning was just too brutal. "You guys are a bit too powerful. I'm afraid my
    father can't control you, so I beat you half to death to weaken you.
    "I didn't kill you because I feel like you're still useful, it would be a waste otherwise. "This is called... turning waste into treasure!"
    Xu Yan said solemnly. Kou Ruozhi and the other Heavenly Mother
    Sect experts were crumbling inside, just
    because of this reasoning, he beat them half to death!
    What do you mean we are a bit too powerful?
    You're giving us too much credit!
    "What's that? You can't accept it?"
    Xu Yan raised his eyebrow, staring at Kou
    Ruozhi and said, "The look in your eyes seems like you can't accept it!"
    Kou Ruozhi turned pale, hurriedly responded,
    "I accept! I absolutely accept! From the bottom of my bones, I accept!" He started fearing Xu Yan a bit, not
    understanding why this kid always misunderstood people. Was that the look of defiance?
    Damn it, I was just wincing from the pain!
    "As long as you accept." Xu Yan was satisfied and was about to leave,
    but suddenly stopped and turned around. He glared at Kou Ruozhi and said angrily, "Your
    bones accept, but does your heart not
    accept?"
    He imagined that Kou Ruozhi, deceitful and
    cunning, only verbally submitted but didn't mention whether he did in his heart!
    He must have other thoughts in his mind!
    Kou Ruozhi looked a bit wrecked, cursing in
    his heart. What's wrong with this kid? Why is
    he always targeting me?
    "I accept! I absolutely accept! My heart, my
    mind, my whole body, everything accepts!" Kou Ruozhi hastily swore. The other Heavenly Mother Sect experts were
    all curled up on the ground. Despite their
    bodies aching severely, they didn't dare to
    tremble in fear of causing a misunderstanding
    with Xu Yan.
    "Good as long as you accept."
    Xu Yan turned and left.
    The city of Donghe County was still in
    turmoil, with a craze for seeking experts cropping up. Nobody was working in the government office; Jiang Pingshan had settled in Xu Family's house, effectively being held
    under their control.
    Xu Yan dealt with all the potential threats and
    high-ranking martial artists within and outside the city, subdued them thoroughly so
    that they couldn't practice martial arts for half a month.
    Only the Xu Family's guards retained their full
    strength.
    Before heading to the capital city, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he explicitly
    reminded his parents that they could hide in
    Yunshan County if the situation changed

      54 Chapter 54: Has the Emperor Gone Mad?

      Jin'an, the capital of Qi Country.
      The dispute over the crown prince is about to be settled. Pavilion Elder Chen, who supports the Third Prince, has already asked for retirement and the Emperor Qi has agreed.
      Pavilion Elder Chen is about to leave the
      capital after his retirement. Amid the intense feud over the crown prince, his retirement is not an easy feat, deeply tied to his highly respected status as a veteran of two dynasties.
      It remains uncertain what lies in the future for Guo Rongshan, the minister regarded as one of the right-hand men of the Third
      Prince. At best, he may be dismissed from his post.
      If things get worse, he may get exiled, and if they get even worse, his entire family may face capital punishment!
      It's well known amongst the court that the First Prince's faction is initiating actions in Donghe County. The final outcome - whether Guo Rongshan's son-in-law is imprisoned under the charges of colluding with the Celestial Mother cult or some alternative crimes - will determine Guo Rongshan's fate.
      The Imperial Palace, the royal study.
      Emperor Qi is looking at the confidential
      missive from Donghe County, his hand
      shaking and lips trembling.
      Even as the emperor, who stands aloft from
      the rest of the world, he feels fear for the first time.
      One man sweeping through ten thousand troops!
      Can a mortal human really achieve this?
      But, a confidential missive wouldn't lie!
      Guo Rongshan's grandson, Xu Yan, single-handedly defeated ten thousand divine soldiers without any injuries and made it look easy.
      Moreover, during the battle, Xu Yan held back and did not massacre all the divine army soldiers.
      "Guo Rongshan's grandson, wasn't he
      supposed to be dim-witted? Isn't this the
      dimwit that everyone in the court was talking
      about?"
      Emperor Qi is trembling all over, his face
      turning ashen with rage.
      A dim-witted person practicing such
      unmatched Martial Arts?
      Who exactly is the dimwit then?
      The rumors are true! There really are hermit elders in this world who are as divine as gods. There really are such powerful Martial Arts!
      "Guo Rongshan must die! Punish him by exterminating his whole family! Execute the whole Guo family to be buried with my Qi
      Country!"
      Emperor Qi's eyes flashed with ruthless
      determination.
      Since the Qi Country is to fall, before the
      enemy arrives in the capital, cut Guo Rongshan's family down, let them accompany
      the Qi Country in death!
      "No!"
      Just as the emperor was about to issue a
      decree to exterminate the Guo family, he suddenly became alert.
      He picked up the missive again for a careful
      look.
      "Xu Junhe did not rebel. He only defeated the divine army and did not kill Jiang Pingshan. Moreover, he did not let the Celestial Mother cult take over the prefecture office..."
      In this brief moment, Emperor Qi understood.
      Whether the Xu family will rebel depends on his attitude and how he handles the Guo
      family!
      If Guo Rongshan dies, it will mean the end of the royal house of Qi Country!
      But if Guo Rongshan continues to serve Qi
      Country as minister, then Qi will remain Qi!
      Emperor Qi took several deep breaths. His extreme seriousness underlined that this was a decision concerning the survival of Qi
      Country, something he could not afford to take lightly.
      "Summon my third son into the palace, order
      Minister Guo Rongshan to enter the palace, and send word to the ancestral temple to prepare for my son's mentoring ceremony..." Emperor Qi issued the orders sternly.
      He had to get it all done before the news from Donghe County arrived in the capital. The chief eunuch bowed and left, personally overseeing the process.
      Even though he was surprised about receiving
      the summon, the Third Prince rushed to the
      palace. Guo Rongshan, also confused by the Emperor's urgent summons, wondered what purpose it served.
      Could it be that this time after the dispute
      over the crown prince, his Guo family might escape unscathed?
      In hurried steps, Guo reached the imperial
      palace.
      However, instead of meeting with the
      Emperor Qi in the study, he was led to - the ancestral temple!
      Confused, Guo Rongshan thought, is the
      ancestral temple really a place a minister like
      me can visit?
      Following the eunuch, Guo arrived at the ancestral temple.
      Upon arrival, he saw the Third Prince, and the
      arrangements of the ancestral temple seemed unusual!
      "Your Majesty..."
      As Guo Rongshan was about to bow in salute,
      Emperor Qi, with a smile on his face, personally helped him up and said, "Minister
      Guo, there's no need for formalities, come, sit down!"
      "Your Majesty, this..."
      Guo Rongshan was shocked as the Emperor
      Qi pulled him and asked him to sit at the principal seat of the ancestral temple. "Minister Guo, you are a unique talent in this
      world. My third son is fortunate to have
      caught your favor. Today, I will let him officially take you as his mentor!" Emperor Qi spoke solemnly. "Your Majesty, this should not be done!"
      Guo Rongshan was shocked. He was a prince,
      how could he simply accept such mentoring arrangements?
      The emperor ignored his protests, forced him
      to sit in the seat, turned around, glared at the
      Third Prince, and scolded, "What are you standing there for, why aren't you performing
      the three kneelings and nine kowtows to greet your teacher?"
      "Father Emperor..."
      The Third Prince had a befuddled look, what
      on earth was going on?
      Seeing the severe look in Emperor Qi's eyes,
      he flinched in fright, hastily kneeled down,
      and kowtowed three times before offering up tea, "Disciple greets esteemed teacher!"
      Gou rongchan was completely clueless throughout
      His mind was dizzy, a messy pulp, and he felt utterly stupefied.
      What was Emperor Qi doing?
      Minister Guo take a sip from your tea quickly!!
      Emperor Qi urged.
      Guo Rongshan took the tea and took a mouthful, remaining clueless throughout the whole event.
      Third son keep in mind that a teacher a day is considered a father for a lifetime
      . From now on when you see minister Guo
      Treat him the way you would treat your father
      "You are to pay your respects to Minister Guo daily, and any disrespect will be severely punished!"
      Emperor Qi's tone was extremely severe by
      the time he finished speaking.
      The third prince body shook
      pale, and he hurriedly replied,,
      Yes, yes, father Emperor
      His mind was muddy, thinking his father
      Emperor was probably insane, other else why would he do such a thing. "Get lost quickly!" Emperor Qi shot him a glare , and the third prince hurriedly retreated "Minister Guo, come on, come, the duties of
      the court still require your attention. With your talent, Minister Guo, I rest easy!" Emperor Qi hand in hand with Guo Rongshan, took a stroll in the Royal Garden.
      Like old friends for many years they chated about daily routines occasionally mentioning his grandson xu yan.
      Among all the civil and military officials, only Minister Guo is the true loyalist! Guo Rongshan's mind was nothing but a
      muddle, even suspecting that he was dreaming!
      After strolling around in the royal garden , Emperor Qi pulling Gu Rongshan went back to the ancestral garden worshipped heaven and earth and became sworn brothers under different surnames
      Guo Rongshan's face turned pale, his body
      trembled, and he nearly fainted. There was only one thought in his mind: "Has
      the Emperor gone mad?" uhTd, thud !thud
      Kneeling down, swearing a blood oath, and becoming brothers!
      After the complete procedure, Guo Rongshan
      felt completely drained, both physically and mentally.
      But for Emperor Qi, he tlfe slightly relieved.
      His thoughts were simple, being sworn brothers with your grandfather, don't you consider me
      as half an elder, Xu Yan? So I hope you will go light on me?
      After the sworn brother ceremony, he walked
      Guo Rongshan out of the palace. Halfway,
      they ran into one of Emperor Qi's favoured concubines, approaching gracefully. Guo Rongsnha was dazed and kept staring at her
      Normally it's major disrespect, but his mind was so muddled at the moment that he didn't realize
      What he was doing.
      Upon seeing this, Emperor Qi immediately asked joyously, "Brother Guo, what do you
      think of Concubine Yun?"
      Concubine yun is a fairy that is unrivaled and a gracefull woman .
      Guo Rongshan froze, a wave of panic surfacing in his heart, how did I start
      commenting on the Emperor's favourite concubine?
      Cold sweat started breaking out on his
      forehead.
      If you like her how about i send her to your estate brother Guo.
      What?!
      Guo Rongshan was aghast, exclaimed hurriedly: "No, no, Your Majesty!"
      My wife is fierce and I'm scared

      "If that's the case, then let it be!"
      Emperor Qi wore a face of regret.
      Guo rongshan' wife is xu yan grandmother
      If I annoy her, won't I be asking for trouble?
      On the other hand, Concubine Yun had
      already fainted from fright... guo aRongsnh returned home in daze, his
      mind in complete turmoil as if the trip to the royal palace was an absurd dream"Father, what did the Emperor want to see
      you for?"
      Guo Yunkai expressed his eagerness and worry, and as soon as he followed his father
      into the study, he asked without waiting.
      His father returned from the palace and the whole person was completely off .
      Guo Rongshan raised his head and after a while, managed to say: "His Majesty might
      have a brain disease, his sanity seems slightly
      off."
      Guo Yunkai: ???.

        55 Chapter 55: Emperor Qi, Here I Come - Xu Yan_1
        Translator: 549690339
        Guo Yunkai had a dumbfound look on his face. He scans the room in panic, opened the study window to ensure there was no one
        eavesdropping, then only he exhaled a sigh of
        relief.
        "Dad, how come..."
        Did his father lose his wits because the entire family was in danger due to his defeat in the struggle for the heir to the throne?
        Guo Rongshan took a deep breath, only then did he slightly calm down.
        But he still can't believe what happened.
        The Third Prince was kneeling and kowtowing to him, acknowledging him as his master. Even Emperor Qi stated that once someone is your master, he will be your father for life. Who on earth has ever seen a prince kowtow this way?
        What's even more outrageous is that he was sworn brothers with Emperor Qi!
        Even more shocking, Emperor Qi actually wanted to give him Princess Concubine Yun.
        Since when did emperors give their concubines to ministers?!
        Emperor Qi didn't have the habit of being cuckolded!
        Hearing everything his father said, Guo Yunkai was dumbfounded and looked at his father
        suspiciously.
        "It's not Emperor Qi who's gone mad, it's my
        Dad!" Guo Yunkai thought sadly.
        The Third Prince returned to the palace feeling
        dazed. His core advisers rushed over.
        "Your Highness, what was that urgent summon from the Emperor about?" They asked.
        The Third Prince looked around, took a deep breath, and whispered into his adviser's ear, "I suspect that our Emperor has a brain disease!"
        Adviser: ???
        Something seems wrong with the Third Prince!
        Back in the study, Emperor Qi issued another command: "Issue an imperial decree; appoint Guo Rongshan as the Qi King, the Grand Premier of the Cabinet, and the Crown Prince's Supreme Master..."
        The title "Grand Tutor" could no longer match
        Guo Rongshan's status. The Emperor
        established a new title-Crown Prince's Supreme Master!
        The word 'Supreme' represented the exalted status.
        "Issue an imperial decree; appoint Guo Yunkai as Duke Shenwei, the commander of Qi's army..."
        "Make Ming King the Crown Prince!"
        Ming King was the Third Prince!
        Emperor Qi issued a series of decrees, and
        simultaneously had people spread how he rewarded the virtuous, had the Third Prince acknowledge Guo Rongshan as his master, and even humbly formed a bond of brotherhood with Guo Rongshan.
        He spread wide and far the deeds of Guo Rongshan and the Guo family's loyal service to the country, praising them for their unwavering devotion.
        He portrayed Guo Rongshan as the embodiment of loyalty, patriotism, virtue, and saintly morality!
        The capital was in an uproar!
        All the civilian and military officials were taken
        aback!
        Has the Emperor gone mad?
        Especially the eldest Prince and his supporters
        were like falling from the clouds to land in a pit full of feces, the pain was indescribable.
        The Third Prince was appointed as the Crown
        Prince!
        Guo Rongshan was made a King!
        Grand Premier of the Cabinet, The Crown
        Prince's Supreme Master...
        His son, Guo Yunkai, became Duke Shenwei,
        who commands the national defense forces of
        Qi Country!
        And the rumor amongst the populace was that
        Guo Rongshan had become a saint, a great
        character!
        The parties concerned, Guo Rongshan, and his son were both bewildered, the only thought in their minds: "The Emperor has lost his senses..." Countless ministers presented memorials and even remonstrated to death. The imperial court
        was in chaos.
        Those
        ho remonstrated to the death were complied with.
        The only thought in the minds of all the civilian
        and military officials was: "The Emperor is
        mad..."
        Until one day, two enormous red dragons burst
        open the city's gates.
        A figure riding one of the red dragons was heading for the palace.
        A deafening voice resounded: "Emperor Qi, old
        man, I, Xu Yan, am here!"
        Xu Yan?
        All the officials in attendance were stunned; isn't
        he Guo Rongshan's outside grandson? According to rumors, his outside grandson was
        not very bright and was obsessed with looking for a master, wanting to learn the real Martial Arts.
        The ministers looked up to see the dragon
        coming, its oppressive power shaking all directions.
        His face was instantly filled with horror.
        Could there really be such powerful martial arts
        in the world?
        Am I the fool for being unaware?
        At this moment, all the officials understood why
        Emperor Qi had carried out a series of absurd
        actions and why he had been so eager to please Guo Rongshan.
        All this, was because of Guo Rongshan's grandson, Xu Yan!
        Emperor Qi watched as the enormous dragon,
        two to three tens of feet long, slithered through the air. His face turned pale. Though the Flying Hawk secret order had
        mentioned Xu Yan creating a red dragon with a wave of his palms, rendering all helpless, reading about it and witnessing it firsthand, were completely different experiences. He was nearly scared out of his wits.
        He hastily grabbed Guo Rongshan's hand next to
        him, his voice trembling as he said, "Brother Guo, you must persuade your grandson. This old body of mine can't handle such shocks!"
        Guo Rongshan, upon seeing Xu Yan soaring in
        mid-air, was also stunned. His own grandson was so powerful?
        In that moment, he understood. It wasn't that
        Emperor Qi had lost his sanity, but rather, it was because of Xu Yan's prowess that he had made these seemingly absurd decisions!
        Xu Yan was now furiously charging towards the
        palace. The eldest prince must have provoked his grandson by attempting to settle accounts with Guo Rongshan in Donghe prefecture. That must be why Xu Yan was storming the capital
        city.
        "Your Majesty, don't worry. My grandson, Xu Yan,
        is a kind and honest young man, he won't do anything excessive!"
        Upon understanding the situation, Guo
        Rongshan straightened up, his confidence restored.
        Emperor Qi's mouth twitched. A kind and honest boy?
        Only Guo Rongshan could say something like
        that!
        "Yan'er, what are you making such a fuss about?
        It's not good to alarm His Majesty!"
        Guo Rongshan called over to Xu Yan. "Hmph!"
        Xu Yan glanced at Emperor Qi standing next to
        his grandfather, snorted coldly, and pushed his palms downwards, merging the two dragons into one giant dragon.
        With a resounding crash, it landed in the square
        outside the palace hall.
        A rumble followed, and clouds of dust billowed
        into the air.
        The impact of the dragon left a deep trench
        dividing the square into two equal parts!
        The officials, palace guards, and top martial artists all broke out in cold sweats. "Grandfather!"
        Xu Yan approached Guo Rongshan. "Hahaha, Yan'er, your arrival is timely. Let me
        introduce you. This is His Majesty, your grandfather's sworn brother!"
        Guo Rongshan pulled Xu Yan's hand, gleefully introducing him.
        "Sworn brother?"
        Xu Yan looked at Emperor Qi in confusion.
        Since when did his grandfather become sworn brothers with Emperor Qi?
        Since they were sworn brothers, why did those officials dare to ransack his home? Emperor Qi forced a friendly smile onto his face,
        any traces of his royal dignity now completely non-existent.
        For the ministers of Qi Country, this was a day their worldview would be shattered.
        The legendary divine martial artist, as described
        in the storybooks, had actually appeared! Moreover, it was Guo Rongshan's grandson, the one who had been mocked as inept! In the end, the real fools were they themselves!
        That day, the capital city was rocked to its core
        when a divine being, controlling a dragon, burst into the royal palace.
        "Emperor Qi is a foolish and incompetent ruler,
        the divine has come to destroy Qi Country. Qi Country's days are numbered. The Holy Mother's divine light is illuminating all living beings, saving the people from peril and restoring order in the world at the crucial moment..." Suddenly, members of the hidden Holy Mother Cult, excitedly emerged and charged towards the palace, ready to seize the chance to rebel!
        The people were stunned. Were there really hidden Holy Mother Cult followers in the capital
        city? They seriously dared to rebel given the opportunity!
        As for Emperor Qi, he was more afraid of Xu
        Yan, than some cult followers. He was already feeling stifled, so it was a
        perfect opportunity for him to vent his anger by suppressing these cult followers. So, forces were sent forth to capture and root out the cult followers.
        With the arrival of Xu Yan, peace was truly a
        stranger to the capital city of Qi Country, and even the entire country.
        Soon after, the news of Xu Yan single-handedly,
        and effortlessly, defeating tens of thousands of troops in Donghe Prefecture was circulated among the ministers. Only at that moment did they understand the reason behind Emperor Qi's
        absurd actions..
