The people he did not want to see, even if they were the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom or his father, he would not see them!
He really did not want to see a person who placed the country first and plotted against his children’s interests. Even if Li Huanjun seemed to know that he had done something wrong, so what?
After returning to the palace, Li Huanjun summoned Princess Zhaoyang.
This time, Hu Jiujiu did not follow. Anyway, if the princess was really in danger, she could feel it even from there.
“I went to the Wilderness Valley, but I didn’t see your brother. You, has your brother already entered the Saint realm? Or is his strength even higher?”
Even though he did not see Li Yuanqing, Li Huanjun paid more attention to him. Unfortunately, Zhaoyang did not say anything.
“I don’t know. I can’t see through my brother’s strength. You didn’t see my brother because he didn’t want to see you. I advise you not to disturb his cultivation if you have nothing to do…”
Zhaoyang looked at Li Huanjun. Their relationship had changed.
Zhaoyang was no longer the princess who listened to her father. She had her own ideas and confidence.
“Although your strength is not bad, since the founding of the Northern Kingdom, there has never been a Great Empress. Although I can confer you the title of Crown Princess at any time, you still have to fight for the hearts of the people. Therefore, you’d better learn to handle some tricky matters…”
Li Huanjun looked at Princess Zhaoyang, who was speaking to him in a less respectful manner. He felt very uncomfortable. He thought about how he had worked so hard to make this trip to the Wilderness and yet he had not even seen that bastard’s face. He really felt angry, but he did not dare to show it, especially in front of Princess Zhaoyang.
He could only tell Zhaoyang about some of the difficulties of conferring the title of Crown Princess. He was telling the truth. Zhaoyang nodded her head to express her approval. She also hoped that if there were any troublesome matters in the Northern Kingdom in the future, she would be willing to take action.
“Good. Although the remnants of the Blood Flame Sect were wiped out last time, the Imperial Court has found out that the Wind Thunder Sect has always been in cahoots with the Blood Flame Sect. They even secretly protected the Blood Flame Sect. This time, you have come to wipe out some of the rebels in the Northern Kingdom. Let them all know who the orthodox branch of the Northern Kingdom is…”
Some sects and clans in the Northern Kingdom were deeply entangled. In the past, it was unknown whether the Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom was dead or alive. Li Huanjun felt that the foundation of the Northern Kingdom was unstable, so he was powerless against these forces.
At this moment, there was a Martial Saint backing Zhaoyang. Li Huanjun felt that he could not let go of such a good opportunity to stabilize the country. Therefore, he pushed Zhaoyang out so that she could establish her might and also purge some of the dark forces in the country.
“Alright!”
Zhaoyang agreed without hesitation. Hu Jiujiu was bored and she was trying to break through to become a seventh-grade martial artist. If she went out and trained, she might be able to advance very quickly.
In this life, she was aiming for the Martial God Paragon realm!
Li Yuanqing was far away in the Wilderness. After finishing his tea, he took a stroll after his meal. He strolled through the valley slowly, but it was so huge that he would often discover places he had never been before.
For example, this time, he saw a small hill filled with rocks. In the middle, there was a small path about the width of a person.
Li Yuanqing had never been here before. Without hesitation, he walked to the path filled with rocks and a voice rang in his head.
[Host has entered the Ancient Ruins. Do you want to sign?]
Ancient ruins?
This was a legend from ten thousand years ago, it’s said that many miracles had appeared on this continent. At that time, humans, demons, and gods coexisted. There were powerful beings who could move mountains and fill seas.
Furthermore, there were also many bizarre monsters that had cultivated to become gods. Unfortunately, it happened too long ago.
Li Yuanqing only occasionally found some records about the ancient times in the library of the Northern Kingdom. Most people thought that the ancient times were just a myth.
After all, some of the descriptions and stories were unbelievable.
“Sign in!”
Li Yuanqing was secretly delighted. He had never expected that there would be so many surprises hidden in a secluded place he had randomly chosen. It was also the gate to the ancient ruins. If he had nothing to do in the future, he should come here to take a look and see if there were any discoveries in the ancient ruins.
[Sign in at the gate of the ancient ruins. Reward: Intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pill!]
[One: Reward 200 Intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pills!
Two: Reward a copy of the ancient illustration!]
Intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pill?
An ancient era’s information?
Li Yuanqing looked at the mountain road and the lush greenery in the distance. Moreover, the trees here were obviously more lush than other places. Some of the branches could not even be hugged by a few people. It looked ancient.
This place should be a blessed land’s treasure land. It might be able to be signed in continuously.
At the thought of this, Li Yuanqing immediately chose the first reward. Because he was already at the peak of the ninth-grade and was one step closer to the Martial Saint realm, the intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pill was more practical than the ancient illustration.
A hundred intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pills was a full bottle. Li Yuanqing did not hesitate this time and took one right on the spot.
Soon, his body felt something.
There seemed to be a gush of vital energy in the air that was flowing into his body continuously. The feeling of being filled with vital energy made Li Yuanqing feel energized. The intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pill was really a good thing.
Li Yuanqing had never felt so full of vitality before. If he could maintain this feeling frequently, he felt that he would not have to spend fifty to a hundred years like many others to reach the Martial Saint realm.
In a short period of time, he would be able to break through from the peak of the ninth-grade to Martial Saint.
In the next few days, Li Yuanqing would visit this place when he had nothing to do. Occasionally, he would sign some items, such as hundreds of ancient demon beast illustrations, various spirit herb illustrations, and methods of usage.
And several hundred intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pills.
In the following days, Li Yuanqing would consume the intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pills every day. He would gather the aura within his body time and time again to cleanse his body, making him stronger and stronger. He looked forward to the day when he could become a Martial Saint.
The New Year arrived in the blink of an eye. This time, Princess Zhaoyang arrived at the Wilderness Valley on New Year’s Eve and met Li Yuanqing. Her arrival made Li Yuanqing a little happy. Naturally, he did not avoid her like Li Huanjun did.
The siblings were watching the snow together, skating on the surface of the lake, and even had a snowball battle. Hu Jiujiu, who had been following Zhaoyang, couldn’t help but yawn. She felt that it was too boring. So she decided to sleep under the pine tree where Li Yuanqing usually drank tea.
However, she didn’t sleep for long before her eyes suddenly opened. She looked around vigilantly, and when she saw who it was, she suddenly relaxed!
