As the nominal ruler of Huaxia, if one were to pursue the matter, it wouldn't be just the small grove near Tidewatch Town that was rarely visited; as long as she remained within the borders of Huaxia Nation, Zhao Ziyu could claim any land beneath her feet as her "home." Even Ye Huan's old lair, Tianyue City, was no exception. However, Zhao Ziyu seemed to overlook one thing: at this moment, Xue Wushuang had no idea about Zhao Ziyu's true identity. Consequently, what should have been a matter of course appeared to Xue Wushuang as Zhao Ziyu making unreasonable claims.
Of course, Xue Wushuang was still a Cultivator, and with her status as the leader of Water Moon Palace, she was naturally broad-minded. Thus, upon hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, she didn't get angry but instead smiled slightly and asked Zhao Ziyu, "What makes you say this is your home?"
"Because I am the master of this land, Empress of Huaxia, Zhao Ziyu."
Zhao Ziyu responded confidently. While conversing with Xue Wushuang, she was not affected by the latter's status. This was largely thanks to Ye Huan and Hua Tuo; had they not shown Zhao Ziyu that Cultivators were not invincible today, she might have developed a fear of Cultivators when facing one alone for the first time. If that were the case, not only would she have been unable to say such things to Xue Wushuang, but it would have been fortunate enough if she didn't turn around and run away.
Now noticing Zhao Ziyu's expression while speaking and observing her luxurious attire, although Xue Wushuang couldn't understand why there were no attendants around Zhao Ziyu, her first reaction was that Zhao Ziyu was not lying. This conclusion startled Xue Wushuang herself; after all, how could Zhao Ziyu claim to be the Empress of Huaxia?
It should be noted that before the barrier between the Nine Provinces and Eastern State shattered, through numerous texts in Water Moon Palace, Xue Wushuang had some understanding of the Nine Provinces—especially Huaxia Nation. According to the records in Water Moon Palace's texts, Huaxia Nation possessed the most extensive territory in all Nine Provinces and was also the most powerful nation among them. Who would have thought its Sovereign would be such a girl who looked like she hadn't yet turned twenty?
"Hey, what are you thinking? Also, what did you mean when you said you finally found someone to inherit your legacy?"
Standing cautiously opposite Xue Wushuang and observing her closely, after a moment of silence without hearing Xue Wushuang speak up, Zhao Ziyu recalled what Xue Wushuang had said upon her arrival. She carefully inquired about it while keeping the muzzle of her Desert Eagle aimed at Xue Wushuang's head so she could pull the trigger at any moment.
Noticing Zhao Ziyu's subtle movements clearly, Xue Wushuang decided not to hide anymore and directly explained to Zhao Ziyu why she had come to the Nine Provinces Continent.
It turned out that in Eastern State, Water Moon Palace had been experiencing a downturn in recent years. Several elders had passed away one after another, and the disciples within were of mediocre talent. Moreover, there was another sect composed entirely of female Cultivators called Jade Maiden Sect nearby that was eyeing them covetously. In desperation, to ensure a good inheritance for Water Moon Palace, Xue Wushuang—being its leader—immediately rushed over upon hearing that many people were planning to go to Nine Yin Cave.
To avoid misunderstandings about any connection with Nine Yin Cave, Xue Wushuang dared not follow too closely and could only keep her distance. However, after passing through the barrier between Eastern State and Nine Provinces, she completely lost track of Nine Yin Cave's disciples. This left her wandering alone until she finally ended up here and encountered Zhao Ziyu—a series of twists and turns indeed. Yet what surprised her even more came afterward.
Due to encountering unfamiliar people in an unfamiliar land almost instinctively, Xue Wushuang released a Divine Sense to probe Zhao Ziyu. To her delight, she discovered that Zhao Ziyu was indeed the perfect candidate to inherit Water Moon Palace's legacy; hence she made that remark.
"Wait a minute; are you saying you originally intended to take me as your disciple?"
Listening to Xue Wushuang's lengthy explanation, Zhao Ziyu quickly grasped the key points and hurriedly sought confirmation from her. Her heart was already filled with joy; after all, she had intended to improve her strength to better assist Ye Huan. Little did she expect that just after leaving Tidewatch Town, an incredible opportunity would fall into her lap, making it hard to believe, as if she were dreaming.
Noticing Zhao Ziyu's current mood, Xue Wushuang did not react much at first. After a brief hesitation, she continued, "That's right. I originally planned to take you as my disciple, but since you are the Hua Xia Empress, I won't force you. Whether you stay or leave depends on your own wishes..."
"Leave? Where to?"
Zhao Ziyu looked at Xue Wushuang in confusion. What had initially excited her felt like a bucket of cold water poured over her, instantly cooling her enthusiasm. She asked Xue Wushuang while internally making various guesses. The worst-case scenario was that she would have to abandon everything in the Nine Provinces and follow Xue Wushuang to the Eastern State, where the Water Moon Palace was located. This would undoubtedly be a heavy blow for her, especially since she had not been able to speak a few words with her fiancé Ye Huan, who remained in a coma.
"It seems you've already guessed..."
Observing the changes in Zhao Ziyu's expression, Xue Wushuang, the master of Water Moon Palace, understood her thoughts well. Therefore, she did not try to persuade Zhao Ziyu but instead muttered to herself, "Heaven's way is merciless; the Great Way is formless. If one truly wishes to stand at the peak of this world, diligent cultivation is undoubtedly the best choice..."
"Heaven's way is merciless? Heaven's way is merciless?"
Zhao Ziyu gazed at the Desert Eagle in her hand and murmured absently. Her expression clearly showed reluctance to part with Ye Huan. However, deep down, she believed that Xue Wushuang was not wrong. Just like Ye Huan back then—after spending some time in the Eastern State and returning, he had undergone a tremendous transformation. She even heard Ye Huan himself say that during that period, he had been cultivating diligently in a sect called Yuxu Palace in the Eastern State, which allowed him to transform from a summoner into a cultivator capable of fighting using the Summoning Book.
However, if Ye Huan were here now, he would surely scold Xue Wushuang for leading others astray. After all, Ye Huan's ability to become a cultivator in the Eastern State was closely tied to his unique skills as a summoner. If Zhao Ziyu were to follow Xue Wushuang's advice and simply focus on hard cultivation without any special abilities, who knows how long it would take for her to reach Ye Huan's current level...
