It was the spring of the ninth year of the Taihe Era.
In the imperial study.
Jiang Che put down the memorial and pinched his eyebrows. His face was full of fatigue.
He said, “Bring the Crown Prince here.”
The Head of Punishment, who stood on one side, immediately disappeared.
Not long after, the Crown Prince, Jiang Qing, arrived with the Head of Punishment behind him.
“Father, what’s the urgent matter? I’m busy right now, and so is the Head of Punishment. There’s no time to lose.”
Jiang Qing shouted with dissatisfaction.
Jiang Che glared at him, which scared him so much that he shrunk his neck and did not dare to complain again.
Jiang Qing ran behind Jiang Che and massaged his shoulders. With a fawning expression, he smiled and said, “Father, what is it? Tell me. I will not hesitate even if you want me to climb a mountain of knives and plunge into a sea of fire.’
“Then go to hell.”
“Alright!”
Without another word, Jiang Qing turned around and left.
“Wait!”
Jiang Qing immediately turned around and looked at him with a smile.
Helpless, Jiang Che threw a book at him. He took it and opened it. Then, he revealed a teasing expression and asked, “Father, what does the princess of Shuntian look like? If she’s not good-looking, I won’t marry her. What is
Shuntian? Even if a crown prince wants a princess for marriage, he has to choose the best. This is not only my reputation, but also your reputation.”
Jiang Che felt helpless about what he had said before that, but the rest of his words had touched his heart.
“In other words, you don’t object?”
“It’s all up to my father. With a word from you, I can divorce my first wife right now!”
“Ridiculous. You, you’re never serious. Get lost. I’m annoyed when I see you. Be careful that I won’t take away your crown prince position one day.”
“Hehe, the position of crown prince is decided by my father. I will always listen to my father’s arrangements! ”
With that said, Jiang Qing slipped away in a hurry.
Jiang Che laughed in anger. He loved and hated his son.
Jiang Che calmed himself down and picked up the memorial again. “What is the
Crown Prince busy with?”
The Head of Punishment said in an indifferent tone, “There’s a new top hostess in Yue Chun Brothel who came from overseas. His Highness the Crown Prince is currently making love to her day and night.’
When Jiang Che heard that, his face twitched and he remained silent.
The news that the crown prince of Great Jing was about to marry Princess Shuntian quickly spread. In a short month, it spread throughout the various provinces of Great Jing, making the citizens of the land happy.
Marrying a princess was a good thing. It showed the power of Great Jing. If he were to marry a princess, it would symbolize a surrender.
Huang Chuan took the time to visit Jiang Changsheng. Speaking of this, he was all smiles when he mentioned Jiang Qing. It was obvious that he was very close to him.
Jiang Qing was not favored by Jiang Changsheng, but he did not do nothing. Instead, he roped in Huang Chuan and Ling Xiao. From time to time, he would go to Longqi Temple and get along with his disciples. Even though he was flirtatious, he was very popular. At the very least, few people in the capital hated him.
This fellow only looked for female prostitutes when he picked flowers. He never had an affair with women from commoners and women from civil and military families. At present, he only had one main wife, and it was arranged by the Emperor.
It was against the imperial family’s reputation to say that he was a good-for-nothing because he liked to visit brothels.
“It seems like Li Ya has been convinced by Master.”
Bai Qi lamented. The others had the same thoughts.
How could Great Jing have any face? Wasn’t it because Li Ya wanted to please the Dao Ancestor?
Ye Xun smiled and said, “It’s time for that kid to take a concubine. Every time I go to the city, I see him in the brothel.”
He also liked to go to those places. After all, he was a hot-blooded martial artist and had to vent his anger.
Jiang Changsheng would not restrict their movements. Even Ji Wujun and Bai Qi would occasionally stroll around the city to watch some sideshows. They would also go to inns to listen to stories about the world, especially Huang
Tian and Hei Tian. At night, they would sneak into the city and play around.
There was once a rumor about a cat demon that spread throughout the capital. Jiang Che only relaxed when he learned that it was Huang Tian and Hei Tian.
Only Jiang Changsheng did not like to go to the city.
He was an Immortal Cultivator, and his state of mind was like water. He could easily control his desires. He preferred the feeling of cultivation. It was wonderful to absorb Qi into his body.
Everyone started to tease Jiang Qing.
Jiang Changsheng did not participate in the conversation. He looked in the direction of the capital and fell into a daze.
He was currently spying on Lin Haotian.
This kid had another fortuitous encounter!
From the looks of it, he was about to shake Mu Lingluo off again.
Under the blue sky, Lin Haotian sat on the huge corpse of the Demon Saint. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and snorted. “If I don’t agree, then I don’t agree!”
Beside him stood a thin and unkempt old man. He was dressed in cotton clothes and his nose was red. There were three wine gourds hanging on his waist.
The sloppy old man rubbed Lin Haotian’s shoulders and smiled. “Little brother, don’t be like that. Being my disciple is extremely beneficial.”
Lin Haotian shot him a glance and said, “You are neither a human nor a demon.
I feel that something bad is going to happen if I were to be with you.”
A few days ago, he was absorbing the blood and qi of the Demon Saint below him when this old man appeared out of nowhere in front of him, almost scaring him to death. When the old man saw that his bones were amazing and his bloodline was special, he wanted to take him in as his disciple.
This old man was very strong, but he was extremely principled and would not be rough. He wanted him to sincerely acknowledge him as his teacher, so he did not force him.
When Lin Haotian heard that he would not force him, he rejected the offer. However, he did not expect the old man to continue pestering him.
“I am indeed not a human nor a demon, but you are a human and a demon. Aren’t you just like me?” The old man chuckled.
Lin Haotian said helplessly, “Senior, I have a master. Don’t force me.”
“When did I force you? Let me tell you, I’m very strong.” “But you don’t even have a name. I think you’re afraid of revealing your name.”
“No, I just haven’t found the meaning of a name yet.”
The old man chuckled. He took a wine gourd and handed it to Lin Haotian.
“Would you like some?”
Lin Haotian took the wine gourd and gulped it down.
He burped loudly and praised, “Delicious, addictive, again..
Thump!
All of a sudden, he collapsed. His face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye and his eyes blurred.
The Sky Thunder Eagle was so shocked that it immediately pounced on the old man. The old man raised his hand and pointed, after which a stream of true qi entered the Sky Thunder Eagle’s body, causing it to be unable to move.
“Hehe, little guy, don’t worry. I won’t hurt your master. Since your master is unwilling to acknowledge me as her teacher, I can only give up. However, I am willing to teach him something.”
After the old man said that, he began to take off Lin Haotian’s clothes.
Jiang Changsheng, who was far away under the Earth Spirit Tree, witnessed the old man stripping Lin Haotian naked and carefully exploring his physical body.
This scene almost made Jiang Changsheng attack. However, considering that the system could not detect the other party’s strength, he had no choice but to endure it.
That’s right, it could not be detected.
“It involves the rules of heaven and earth. For the time being, the system is unable to calculate the opponent’s strength.”
This was the first time such a notification had appeared!
This guy’s aura was extremely chaotic, as if he was not used to his body.
Moreover, through Lin Haotian’s thoughts, Jiang Changsheng had a bold guess.
Not a human, not a demon!
This old man was the ancient Martial Emperor who had been resurrected by the Sacred Dynasty!
That was why his aura was so chaotic!
If that old man was really the ancient Martial Emperor, Lin Haotian would not be able to stop him. Moreover, there was no need for him to spend so many days fawning over him. He should not have any ill intentions.
A great opportunity!
Jiang Changsheng sighed with emotion. Lin Haotian possessed a special bloodline and had obtained a Martial Emperor’s inheritance. Moreover, he had encountered a resurrected ancient Martial Emperor who wanted to take him in as his disciple.
What kind of protagonist was this?
Even if he gave Mu Lingluo a cheat, she would not be able to catch up.
He carefully observed the old man’s actions. After touching Lin Haotian for a long time, the old man finally stopped with satisfaction and praised, “That’s right. The bloodline of humans and demons is not so easy to integrate. Most of them die young. This kid’s ancestor is not simple. The combination of a human expert and a demon expert created a body of calamity that is rarely seen in history. He was born to face calamity and bears great luck.”
“Since I have met you, let there be more variables in this world. Kid, meeting me is your greatest fortune!”
He raised his hand and struck Lin Haotian with his palm. His true qi enveloped Lin Haotian and the Demon Saint’s skin beneath him began to melt, turning into terrifying blood qi that surged towards Lin Haotian.
In an instant, Lin Haotian turned into a blood silkworm.
The old man looked around suspiciously and muttered, “Strange, why do I feel a little uncomfortable? It seems like this body is backfiring on me again.”
On the other side.
Jiang Changsheng was currently feeling Lin Haotian’s thoughts.
This kid was dreaming. Jiang Changsheng immediately used the Dream Summoning Technique and discovered that he was fighting against the world in his dream, and Jiang Changsheng was also in his dream.
“Senior, did you see that? I helped Great Jing advance to the level of a Sacred Dynasty. The Emperor conferred me the title of Martial God. I have brought you glory!”
“Hahaha, senior, I can shoot the sun too. Don’t I have your style?”
“Cousin… why are you standing by the enemy’s side!”
“Damn it. Senior has protected me for my entire life. Now that you are standing against Great Jing, I can only take action. Cousin, the hope of my next life…
forget it…
His dreams kept flashing and he met many old friends during the war.
Jiang Changsheng was speechless when he saw that the kid still missed his cousin.
However, he was still satisfied with this kid’s attitude of helping Great Jing. Now that the competition for the throne had spread throughout the world, even if Lin Haotian had yet to arrive at Great Jing, he knew that Great Jing would fight for the throne.
In his opinion, since the senior wanted him to go to Great Jing, the senior must be an extremely high-ranked existence in Great Jing. Helping Great Jing was to repay the senior.
The dream constantly changed. Lin Haotian encountered various battlefields. There were demons, humans, ancient mythical beasts, and many terrifying figures. They were even more cruel and horrifying than demons.
The more Jiang Changsheng looked at it, the more he felt that something was amiss.
This dream seemed to be a memory, but Lin Haotian’s old friends were imposed by him.
Wait a minute, could this be the memory of that old man’s past experiences?
Jiang Changsheng realized that Lin Haotian was about to cheat.
Wasn’t this equivalent to imparting combat experience?
Even though his strength would not increase by leaps and bounds because of this, it would definitely allow him to be reborn.
A Martial Emperor’s combat experience was an unimaginable opportunity.
Soon, he saw himself killed by a vague and terrifying giant demon in his dream. Lin Haotian was stimulated and fell into a state of madness. Even though his arm was broken, he was not the giant demon’s opponent. Lin Haotian was still fighting with all his might, and his killing intent was extremely terrifying.
He did not know whether to be happy or helpless.
Fortunately, he had unknowingly become the most important existence in Lin
Haotian’s heart. He had not taken care of him in vain.
Helplessly, it was quite awkward to see himself die in someone else’s dream.
Jiang Changsheng continued to stay in his dream. Gradually, he realized that he seemed to be able to gain insights from Lin Haotian’s battle. Was he taking advantage of Lin Haotian’s fortuitous opportunity?
