Now, submit a memorial stating this was my directive,” Chu Danqing reiterated the three-year ceasefire and the need to spread the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, threatening only Su Shen would be grossly unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Xiong Zhigang’s anxious expression eased: “Master Chu, you undersold it—I’d estimate at least five years of stability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it doesn’t matter—it’s enough for Taichang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, with you saying this, the Emperor’s suspicion toward you will likely deepen,” Xiong Zhigang added, his face showing concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem—I have no intention of becoming an official anyway,” Chu Danqing said bluntly. “Besides, you’re underestimating the young Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Upon hearing this news, he’ll immediately beg me to return—even calling me ‘Second Father.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The young Emperor is patient, understands timing, and excels at seizing opportunities; he only lacks experience and worldly wisdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he matures, the fully developed young Emperor’s abilities will far surpass those of the previous two Taichang Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear of him and inviting Chu Danqing back are not mutually exclusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiong Zhigang felt considerably reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a good sign that the young Emperor had earned such high praise from Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well. As soon as we confirm Su Shen’s withdrawal, I’ll immediately report it to the capital,” Xiong Zhigang said—he trusted Chu Danqing, but needed verifiable proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, sending unverified reports could lead to accusations due to timing discrepancies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Chu Danqing’s involvement would protect him, it’s always better to avoid unnecessary complications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the troops have already withdrawn, the victory report isn’t critical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What matters more is Chu Danqing’s statement, but it requires Su Shen’s cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Master Chu, where will you go next?” Xiong Zhigang asked. “Why not stay here? At least you’ll have someone watching over you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chu Danqing present, the place would be as secure as a fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Danqing shook his head: “No, I have other matters to attend to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to find a quiet place to train until the trial time ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paradise Points were spent, but the skills and consumables must be converted into real power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially refining the Dao Foundation requires ample time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If time permits afterward, he could wander around to see if any missions trigger to earn more Paradise Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the Snake Soul’s offering contract is nearly complete—he needs sufficient time to cultivate and synchronize with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completing the contract doesn’t automatically make it a competent auxiliary summon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without guidance, his cultivation and synchronization efficiency would be inadequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he only chased Paradise Points and missed the golden window for cultivation, he’d suffer a major loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, if I need to find you, Master Chu, where should I look?” Xiong Zhigang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing spread his hands: “I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood pact is one-way—he can’t be contacted unless he initiates the summon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s only an Excellent-tier skill; even if he wanted to pay to create a two-way link, he couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could make it work, he’d be making a fortune through cross-dimensional platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity,” Xiong Zhigang sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then added: “You arrived in such a hurry yesterday that I didn’t even host a welcome feast for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not stay until tomorrow morning? I’ll prepare a banquet in your honor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Zhigang felt embarrassed—Chu Danqing had traveled far to help him, yet he hadn’t even offered proper hospitality before leaving again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would people view him afterward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then I’ll leave tomorrow,” Chu Danqing said—he’d already completed his daily routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was just reading and pondering the Five Elements Spirit Summoning Dao Foundation; it didn’t matter where he did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His real reason for leaving was concern that he might drag Xiong Zhigang into trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing did hope Xiong Zhigang would be dismissed from office so he could focus entirely on helping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one can’t be so selfish—Xiong Zhigang is an independent person with his own aspirations and thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not impose on others what you yourself would not want.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing himself dislikes others manipulating his future or interfering with his path—he wouldn’t maliciously force Xiong Zhigang to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Xiong Zhigang said, his face lighting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was still early for the evening banquet, hosting Chu Danqing couldn’t be done with ordinary home-cooked meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xiong Zhigang was a powerful regional governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiong Zhigang left, Chu Danqing finally opened the Excellent-tier treasure chest he had obtained today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You opened: Excellent-tier Chest.
