Chapter 115: The Emperor Wants to Pass on the Skill

Yuanlu!

In the moment Yun Fengyun spoke, Yuanlu appeared.

After a few low-voiced instructions, Yuanlu hurried away.

Soon after, Yun Xuanmo arrived.

He remained the peerless handsome youth, the jade-like gentleman.

I greet you, Father Emperor!

Yun Xuanmo gave a respectful salute, still perfectly obedient.

He was puzzled as to why Father Emperor had urgently called for him, and what the purpose was.

He was still thinking about what means and methods to use to get more 'imperial uncle' from Yang Jun.

After all, he discovered that what Yang Jun offered was all solid substance.

Xuanmo, I know you despise Yang Jun utterly.

Thus, I now give you an opportunity to use your own strength to defeat him!

Yun Fengyun looked at Yun Xuanmo and immediately spoke in a deep voice.

What? Me?

Yun Xuanmo was shocked, his heart pounding and his face uneasy.

How did such a thing suddenly arise?

Indeed, I used to dislike Yang Jun intensely.

After all, Yun Xuanmo believed Yang Jun had taken his beloved little sister.

But after interacting with Yang Jun, Yun Xuanmo's feelings had completely changed.

We are kindred spirits, both gentlemen.

He likes 'yellow books'—isn't that a major plus?

Besides, Yang Jun also saved his life.

Now, if we speak of dislike, we might still dislike Yang Jun.

But what he dislikes is that Yang Jun, this youngster, actually gave him a sequel to that book, making him itch to read it.

In a moment, sweat beaded on Yun Xuanmo's forehead—what does Father Emperor mean now?

Men compare swords?

That's not interesting.

A man's sword is drawn only for women!

Father Emperor, please make it clear.

Yun Xuanmo clenched his teeth, still keeping his obedient demeanor, as he made a request to Yun Fengyun.

At this point, he still needs to listen to Father Emperor's intentions.

After all, Father Emperor is heaven; he is merely a tiny ant on earth.

Thus, Yun Xuanmo realizes he has no choice but to obey.

Xuanmo, I have decided to pass on the Sacred Skill to you.

Yun Fengyun uttered a sentence, and Yun Xuanmo's mind nearly short-circuited.

Yet Yun Fengyun took out a beautifully crafted small booklet, its gilded cover almost blinding Yun Xuanmo's eyes.

I obey, Your Majesty.

Father Emperor's gift is heavenly grace.

For him, refusing is even more impossible.

Thus, he realizes he has no way to refuse.

My Imperial Dragon Sacred Technique is now passed to you.

You must diligently train; I will also check periodically.

You must not disappoint me!

Yun Fengyun spoke, leaving Yun Xuanmo somewhat surprised.

Although he likes that color, books of that hue are still quite different.

Thus, as Yun Xuanmo took the booklet, he felt both surprised and uneasy.

Simply, as Yun Xuanmo's fingertip touched the booklet, it met the cover.

On the cover lay a five-clawed golden dragon.

Upon touching it, he felt his whole body being drawn in; in that instant he was about to be sucked in.

Yun Xuanmo could only shield his hand with his sleeve and pinch his leg hard.

No way, what is this?

Regarding such things, Yun Xuanmo certainly does not want to get involved.

Yun Fengyun looked expectant, and Yun Xuanmo offered no refusal.

At this moment, it seemed he had already been set onto another path.

Such a situation leaves him unable to resist.

The next day.

Morning court.

Civil and military officials stood to left and right, no longer discussing as before.

In recent days, everyone present understood the events that had taken place in Great Xia.

For such a situation, one must handle and respond, and also have a definite understanding.

Sometimes, silence is the best.

Now the officials also couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

They occasionally glanced toward Zhou Tian and Yang Jun.

Everyone was waiting, and after a long while, Yun Fengyun stepped forward slowly and walked in.

Yun Fengyun waved his right hand, Yuan Lu stepped forward, announcing the start of this morning's court.

"The Office of Rites reports: the new envoy delegation from Sunshine Country has entered the capital, and arrangements have been made."

"As for Sunshine Country's actions this time, it is solely for Sang Jieguyi."

"This matter, entrust it to Yang Jun to handle."

"Remember, under no circumstances must it affect relations between the two countries; we must ensure Sang Jieguyi returns with the delegation to his country."

Yun Fengyun issued the order, and the officials nodded.

Everyone understands this matter.

"Since before, when Sang Jieguyi was imprisoned in Pingxi Prince's Mansion, everyone understood the outcome of this matter."

Having Yang Jun take charge is also quite normal.

"Compared to this, everyone is more concerned about the matter of Prince Pingxi."

Yuan Lu read it again.

"Great Xia and Sunshine Country were originally neighbors separated only by a narrow strip of water."

"But in recent years, they have met only on the battlefield."

"Fortunately, Prince Pingxi Yang Ye led troops to battle on the sandfields, resisting daily incursions and safeguarding the safety of Great Xia."

"My sworn brother, Yang Ye, has made great contributions; by reason and emotion, he shall be enfeoffed as a prince!"

"From now on, all stipend standards shall be those of a prince!"

"This time it is a direct imperial edict; Yuan Lu read it word for word."

"In an instant, the entire hall was astonished."

"At this moment, in the great hall, everything seemed to freeze."

"It seemed even the incense smoke rising from the cauldron after burning was about to freeze."

"Prince Pingxi, this is a commandery prince; this is already the highest honor for a general."

"But now, Emperor Yun Fengyun has actually broken the rule that princes are not bestowed upon those of another surname, a rule that has existed in Great Xia for centuries."

"How can such a thing exist?"

"If this happens, being promoted to a first‑rank prince would truly make him a member of the imperial clan."

"Although Prince Pingxi is still a Prince, the substance of his title is now completely different."

"However, the officials also subtly noticed something rather unusual within this."

"Promotion seems appropriate, but more so, after promotion becomes impossible, it is merely an empty honor."

"\"Your Majesty, I believe Prince Pingxi receiving this honor is appropriate. \""

"\"But now Prince Pingxi is advanced in years, and the heir apparent has also married; why not let Prince Pingxi remain on the throne to enjoy his twilight years? \""

"\"This would avoid the pain of father and son being separated again within Pingxi Prince's Mansion. \""

"At this moment, the Minister of War stepped forward and presented a memorial."
