Guan Yue took the Millennium End Grass and noticed that it still had fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, as if it were alive. He was very puzzled; could a herb that had existed for millions of years still survive to this day?
However, he could only treat a dead horse as a living one, so he quickly planted the Millennium End Grass in the Sky-Sealing Tower. Using the planting methods from his previous life, he dug a hole, loosened the soil, lightly buried it, and watered it, performing a series of actions.
Then he anxiously waited for a miracle to occur.
After doing all this, he turned to Jin Xi and said, “Didn’t you need this grass? What were you planning to use it for?”
Jin Xi shook her head and replied, “I needed it to break through to become a divine beast, but I no longer need it now. You can keep it.”
Guan Yue continued, “Xiao’er, you did very well. I want to thank you. If we can save Rou'er, I will let her recognize you as her sister. How does that sound?”
Hearing Guan Yue's praise, Jin Xi was overjoyed and very happy; she had finally received recognition from her Master. At the same time, she looked forward to having a younger sister. Then she could show off in front of her sister—how delightful!
Her tireless efforts were actually aimed at receiving Guan Yue's praise and gratitude. Now that she had achieved her goal, she wanted to sleep; this period had exhausted her.
Guan Yue understood her hardships and embraced her, allowing her to rest on his lap. Jin Xi happily fell asleep immediately.
Guan Yue waited for her to wake up before asking how to use the Millennium End Grass; she should know.
When Jin Xi awoke, six hours had already passed. Guan Yue hurriedly asked her how the Millennium End Grass should be used. Jin Xi smiled and said, “This Millennium End Grass has many uses. It can be used for medicine and healing. However, it's best to make it into pills. Using these pills as the main ingredient can yield various effects.”
At this moment, Gao Yuxin interjected, “That's right; the Millennium End Grass can be made into pills called Millennium Medicine Mother. It is the main ingredient for making Millennium's Last Love. So using Millennium Medicine Mother can neutralize the poison of Millennium's Last Love. In other words, as long as we produce Millennium Medicine Mother, we have hope of saving Rou'er.”
“Oh, I see.” Guan Yue was overjoyed; there was finally hope for Rou'er.
“Senior Brother, I forgot to tell you that my recent battle was very intense, but I gained many benefits. I am now at the third level of divine beasts,” Jin Xi proudly announced at last.
This made Guan Yue extremely pleased as well. With this development, his own power had increased even more.
Jin Xi finished speaking and went to change her clothes, feeling that her tattered garments were inappropriate. Her understanding of worldly ethics had also progressed significantly.
In the palace of the Southern Source Empire, there was the largest complex, which contained a total of eighty-one rooms. This was where the Emperor resided.
Inside, there were numerous wives and concubines, a multitude of beauties for the Emperor to choose from. The Emperor's life was indeed very indulgent. However, to maintain the stability of his reign, he had to invest considerable effort.
Currently, the reigning Emperor Jiang Bilong was preoccupied with the disappearance of the Fifth Prince. Of course, he was unaware that at that moment, the Fifth Prince was enduring torture in the courtyard of the Thirteenth Prince, revealing a series of conspiracies involving himself and the Crown Prince, leaving the Thirteenth Prince anxious and fearful.
Jiang Bilong was sitting in a side hall surrounded by many beautiful women, holding a sixteen or seventeen-year-old fair-skinned girl in his arms, her clothes disheveled, her body exposed as he continued to caress her.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Champion has been staying at the Imperial City Guard Headquarters, diligently fulfilling his duties. No military forces have been mobilized," someone reported.
Jiang Bilong thought to himself: "Could it be that I misjudged him? Is my strategy of feigning weakness ineffective against the Northern Champion? Is he truly a loyal minister?"
"However, the disappearance of the Fifth Prince clearly shows signs of being planned. Two powerful forces appeared at the scene; it seems unrelated to the He Family, but they cannot escape involvement and must be severely punished as a warning. Yet with so many experts appearing, it poses a significant threat to the Southern Source Royal Family. If this group is used against me, I would have no means of self-defense."
Jiang Bilong immediately decided: "No, we must strengthen the palace's defenses and arrange for experts from the Eternal Realm to enter the palace immediately!"
The eunuch promptly responded and quickly relayed the orders for execution.
"Xiao Shisan, you need to take action. I cannot rest easy until this doubt is resolved. Nation is among all princes most suited for military positions; I have thought this for a long time. Now that he has suddenly died and so many experts appeared to deal with him simultaneously, I fear there is a huge conspiracy behind this. Therefore, you must do your utmost to investigate this case without delay."
Jiang Bilong seemed to be speaking to the air when a voice responded from nowhere: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will go immediately; I leave this matter in Xiao Eleven's hands."
With a slight ripple in the air, Xiao Shisan had already departed.
Jiang Bilong once again squeezed the woman in his arms before pushing her away and getting up to head towards Jiang Ming's residence.
Jiang Ming, fifteen years old, was born of a consort from the West Palace. He was spirited yet mature for his age; his martial arts skills were average at Peak of the Human Realm and on the verge of breaking through to Guardian Realm. However, he was meticulous and quite strategic—one of Jiang Bilong's secretly valued princes. Today feeling troubled, he decided to visit Jiang Ming and see how this young man lived his daily life. If he proved useful, why not use him to lead troops?
At this moment, Jiang Ming had already conducted the fiftieth interrogation of Nation. Nation had been beaten to a pulp, with only a last breath hanging on.
Nation weakly said, "I've said everything I could. There's really nothing more to say. Just let me die. But I still have to say, you're not even a match for my brother; you're too weak, too weak."
Carefree Traveler asked, "If you truly have nothing left to forget, we can grant you a quick death. But since there are still matters you haven't disclosed, we cannot allow you to die easily."
Nation angrily shouted at Carefree Traveler, "Le Wuji, who do you think you are? When did it become your turn to speak while I converse with my royal brother? Get lost! I don't want to see you. It's because of you bastards that my brother and I have turned against each other and are killing one another."
Carefree Traveler struck Nation with a palm, causing Nation to immediately lose consciousness.
Jiang Ming ordered his confidants to drag Nation out and clean up the floor, which was covered in Nation's blood.
At that moment, they suddenly heard the call of "The Emperor has arrived." Jiang Ming was immediately alarmed, but Carefree Traveler calmly said, "There's no need for the prince to panic; the Emperor may not necessarily be here to inquire about Nation. Just don't lose your composure."
After hearing this, Jiang Ming calmed down and quickly tidied himself up before hurrying out to greet his father.
As soon as the Emperor entered Jiang Ming's palace, he noticed that everything inside was very neat and orderly, which pleased him greatly. He also saw that all the attendants were young boys, which delighted him even more.
Jiang Bilong said, "Tomorrow, bring out the girls you often favor so I can take a look. You're not young anymore; it's time for you to marry and have children."
Seeing that his father had come to inspect his life, Jiang Ming felt completely at ease. He quickly summoned two girls around fourteen or fifteen years old for his father to examine.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Bilong found that both girls had pure faces with straight brows and eyes, devoid of any seductive traits. They carried an air of youthful warmth that suggested they had not been involved in intimate affairs for long. After seeing them, Jiang Bilong felt even more satisfied with Jiang Ming. It seemed this son was not overly fond of women and could be entrusted with military duties.
Jiang Bilong then asked Jiang Ming to show him around the palace casually before he returned to his own residence.
The sudden visit from the Emperor posed a significant challenge for Jiang Ming, especially when the Emperor nearly walked into the room where Nation was being held. This made Jiang Ming feel as if he had undergone a life-and-death trial. He quickly told Carefree Traveler, "Hurry up and deal with Nation. He can't stay here any longer; it's too dangerous."
However, secretly handling Nation within the palace was extremely difficult; if discovered, the consequences would be dire. Carefree Traveler immediately sent a message to Guan Yue to come handle Nation.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Bilong pondered for a moment. He then immediately issued a decree: "Appoint Thirteenth Prince Jiang Ming as the Right General of the Military Department, assisting in military affairs. Additionally, Jiang Ming will move to Tai Ping Palace."
Once the decree was announced, the entire court was astonished. A fifteen-year-old boy was actually being appointed as a general in the military? Wasn't that clearly setting him up to become a commander? Moreover, he was destined to be the Grand Marshal of the army in the future!
From the moment the emperor's decree was issued, Jiang Ming's name began to shine brightly, rising like the sun at noon.
When the decree reached Jiang Ming's palace, he and Carefree Traveler celebrated together, both filled with excitement. They had not expected that Guan Yue would successfully take down Nation, which greatly benefited Jiang Ming. From now on, Jiang Ming would no longer be the obscure Thirteenth Prince but rather the future Grand Marshal of the Southern Source Empire!
Jiang Ming quickly organized his move to Tai Ping Palace but needed to invite Guan Yue over immediately to deal with Nation first.
Upon receiving Carefree Traveler's notification, Guan Yue hurried to Jiang Ming's residence. After Jiang Ming explained everything to him, Guan Yue joyfully said, "Once you enter the military department, rely on Northern Champion. Have him gather others for you. You must avoid forming cliques; the emperor will pay attention to your every word and action. You must act within bounds to earn his true trust."
Jiang Ming nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Guan Yue then said to Carefree Traveler, "You will handle contacting Northern Champion. Moreover, the prince should frequently criticize Northern Champion so that no one suspects your connection. As for Northern Champion, he must keep a low profile and be very cautious in his actions. Do not let small gains lead to big losses."
Carefree Traveler smiled at Guan Yue and said, "Northern General will listen to you; just make your requests directly."
Guan Yue had no choice but to agree, "Alright."
In the end, Jiang Ming handed Nation over to Guan Yue, who then took his leave.
As soon as Guan Yue returned to his room, He Bi rushed in anxiously. Upon seeing Guan Yue, she immediately said, "Junior Brother, I just saw Fire Red Girl Hu Hui and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian together. They might be plotting something against you, so I hurried here to inform you."
