After Tai Shi Xiao Xiao learned about Guan Yue's whereabouts, she became increasingly worried for Guan Yue, knowing that she was studying magic. She never expected that Guan Yue had already fallen into darkness. She firmly believed the rumors that Guan Yue had succumbed to evil, as Guan Yue was exceptionally gifted and had a strong comprehension ability. If she realized the benefits of devouring power, it would be even easier for her to fall into darkness. Intelligent individuals often seek shortcuts, hoping to become stronger and faster. Moreover, at such a young age, there were many complex relationships that Guan Yue might not fully understand.
In contrast, Ouyang Shaohua was grounded and methodical, making steady progress without any bottlenecks in development. On the other hand, Guan Yue was impatient and eager for quick results, which could lead to problems.
"Should I meet with him?" Grand Historian Vice Dean pondered. "Or perhaps I should discuss this matter with Futian?"
The rumors quickly reached Jiang Gong, the prince far away in the Dawson Empire.
The fall of the Fifth Prince infuriated the prince, but he knew he must prioritize finding the Child of Heaven and Earth. If he returned to court, he would thoroughly investigate this matter; those who harmed him would face severe consequences.
The rumors about the Regretless Sage possessing two Children of Heaven and Earth also reached Prince Jiang Gong. He immediately ordered all those investigating the whereabouts of the Child of Heaven and Earth to be recalled. The locations of all three Children of Heaven and Earth within the Dawson Empire were already known, making further inquiries unnecessary.
The prince firmly believed in this rumor because it directly pointed out those who would benefit from it and specified their current locations, indicating that the rumor was credible. He also knew that one of the Children of Heaven and Earth was indeed with the Regretless Sage.
The mutual confirmation was self-evident.
Next, the prince needed to discuss with Northern Eagle how to obtain these three Children of Heaven and Earth. There was no doubt that Prince Jiang Gong was determined to acquire them.
He thought of consulting Northern Eagle first regarding this matter.
When asked by the prince, Northern Eagle confidently replied, "The Shadow Child is with the Second Prince of the Dawson Empire, named Modai. He is a candidate for the throne being groomed by the empire. Currently, he is competing with the Fifth Prince for the position. He is well-rounded in both literature and martial arts, being both a scholar and a disciple of the Guardian Realm. His character is strong-willed and tenacious; he never admits defeat and has a very distinct personality. The royal family of the Dawson Empire has always paid close attention to his protection; whenever he goes out, he is accompanied by disciples from the Eternal Realm. As for the one who possesses both the Water Child and the Fire Child, that would be the vice dean of Changshan Academy, known as the Regretless Sage. His personality is also quite arrogant and difficult to accept others' opinions. However, due to his profound knowledge in martial arts research, no one can shake his status. He has also trained many outstanding talents and is known as the father of senior cultivators in the Dawson Empire. His protective force should not be underestimated as they are also disciples from the Eternal Realm. He himself has now become an initial-stage disciple of the Eternal Realm."
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Gong asked, "What are your plans?"
"I believe that infiltrating the enemy's ranks and exploiting various contradictions to create opportunities for us would yield maximum benefits with minimal losses," suggested Northern Eagle, humbly.
"Yes, that makes sense. Go ahead with your arrangements, but make sure to act quickly. I plan to conclude all operations in the Dawson Empire within a year."
Northern Eagle nodded in agreement and withdrew.
The prince thought about how he must return to the Southern Source Empire as soon as possible; otherwise, he would completely lose control over his original situation. Now, his inconspicuous younger brother, Jiang Ming, had unexpectedly become a military officer in charge of military affairs—a position originally meant for his fifth brother—how infuriating!
Suddenly, there was unexpected progress regarding the incident involving Nation. His token had been discovered; it was made from high-grade golden jade and very precious, covered in bloodstains when found.
The token from Nation was quickly delivered to the palace, where the emperor dispatched three imperial physicians to examine it closely. They surprisingly found traces of another person's blood on it—specifically, that of a woman.
Jiang Bilong immediately recalled the rumors. Could it really be that Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui had killed Nation? Faced with such evidence, Jiang Bilong could no longer remain indifferent.
He ordered an investigation into Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, aiming to determine her blood type and whether she had been struck by the Fifth Prince's Shadowless Palm. The Shadowless Palm was a royal secret technique passed only to princes; even princesses and royal nephews were not taught it. Therefore, Jiang Tianlan had never qualified to learn it. No one knew its characteristics, nor could anyone impersonate its effects.
When Regretless Sage heard the news that he possessed both Fire Child and Water Child, he couldn't help but feel puzzled: how had this information leaked? He had never shown these two treasures to anyone.
Recently, he had been receiving bad news from his two youngest disciples, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui and Little Red Fish. Both girls were not focusing on their cultivation and were constantly getting into conflicts with others, which greatly displeased Regretless Sage. However, they were both exceptionally talented, and Regretless Sage had always spoiled them. Thus, he tended to indulge some of their unreasonable demands, leading them to become even more unruly.
Little Red Fish was somewhat better behaved, but Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui rarely encountered opponents during her travels across multiple countries and couldn't stand anyone being stronger than her. This would be her downfall.
Recently, they had been clashing with a boy named Guan Yue. The two of them struggled to deal with him alone, which left Regretless Sage feeling quite discouraged. Therefore, he decided to visit Dragon Lake Academy to meet Guan Yue and see what kind of formidable opponent could leave his two precious disciples at a loss. That monster was merely an Attainment Disciple.
Regretless Sage set off without any concerns. Of course, he did not intentionally conceal his journey. If anyone wanted to make a move against him, he was eager to take this opportunity to showcase his strength!
As expected, Regretless Sage's actions became an opportunity for others.
First was Northern Eagle, who was overjoyed upon receiving this news: "I was just worried about how to find an opportunity to strike at him, and now he's walked right into my trap! This is exactly what I hoped for! How perfect!"
Upon hearing that Regretless Sage was on his way, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui immediately made arrangements. She wanted Guan Yue to encounter Regretless Sage and ensure that Guan Yue gained an advantage in their meeting. This would provoke Regretless Sage's anger and compel him to deal with Guan Yue with full force. Thus, Guan Yue inadvertently learned that Regretless Sage would soon arrive at Southern Source Empire's Dragon Lake Academy.
Guan Yue was thrilled: "This is truly a stroke of luck! Two Children of Heaven and Earth have come right to my doorstep! It's like finding something after searching everywhere—what a blessing from the heavens!"
Regretless Sage's journey even attracted the attention of the Dawson Empire Royal Family. They heard for the first time about his possession of two Children of Heaven and Earth. This was a national treasure that must not be lost. Therefore, in addition to the existing protective forces, they dispatched two Eternal Realm Cultivators to accompany him without his knowledge, ensuring his absolute safety.
At this moment, Jin Xi was in Guan Yue's Sky Peak Tower reprimanding Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan.
"You two idiots! Why are you opposing Guan Yue? Are you bored? Looking for trouble? Or do you just want someone to beat you up? Speak up! You're driving me crazy here!"
The petite girl’s outburst left Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan speechless. Moreover, this little lady had a particularly bad temper; if things didn't go her way even slightly, she would hit without hesitation—completely disregarding any rules or decorum.
"Why are you two going against my senior brother's father? Did he owe you money? Or did he disturb your ancestors' graves? Beating him up like that is intolerable!" Jin Xi thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the phrase "intolerable." She shrugged it off and continued asking: "Quickly tell me what you plan to do about Ouyang Shaohua from Chunhua Academy?"
At this moment, Miao Fang was completely in despair. When the ground suddenly collapsed in the valley, she became acutely aware at that moment that she was about to fall into a trap and realized she had been completely wrong. What was originally meant by Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui to deal with Guan Yue was, in fact, also used against her!
She was wrong to oppose Guan Yue, wrong to besiege Guan Yue, wrong to trust Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Teacher He, and even more wrong to believe in Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui and Little Red Fish. She had neglected her pleasant life and sought out suffering instead.
The more Miao Fang thought about it, the more regretful she became, and the more she hated Dongfang Yu and Yin Dongnan. The more she thought about it, the more she hated herself.
In truth, she had wrongly blamed Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui because the deep pit set by Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui would not be fatal; it was the poisonous gas that was deadly. Even if the three of them fell into the deep pit, they would not die because the pit formed from an explosion from below and would not have falling rocks striking them. Of course, she and Guan Songtao and Yin Dongnan would be poisoned and faint.
Now it was Guan Yue who helped them neutralize the poison, which naturally made her resent Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui.
Seeing Jin Xi, this little girl, continuously lecturing her, she sincerely said to Jin Xi: "Little girl, I know I was wrong. I had no reason to be enemies with Guan Yue; I was just foolishly kicked by a donkey. It's too late to say anything now; there's nothing I can do to make up for my mistakes. I am willing to exchange my body for my family's peace."
Jin Xi immediately realized: "Miao Fang, what you said reminded me. Why could you deal with Guan Yue's father? Then Guan Yue can also deal with your family. Look at how you beat up Guan Yue's father; Guan Yue should retaliate against all your family members without sparing anyone!"
"Please don't mention my family. You can direct anything at me. I won't be angry. I brought this upon myself," Miao Fang pleaded desperately.
"You won't be angry? Is being angry useful? Did you ask Guan Yue when you went to capture or beat up Guan Yue's father? Does Guan Yue need your consent now? I'm puzzled; how can you humans be so self-righteous?" Jin Xi became increasingly agitated and even referred to herself as not human.
At this moment, Yin Dongnan realized something was wrong; this little girl was actually a beast—definitely a divine beast that had just transformed into human form—hence her slip of saying "you humans."
How terrifying it was to think about it! How could Guan Yue be so fortunate as to have a divine beast following him? And one that was so devoted to him.
