Chapter 104: 121, 122 A Leap to Break Through the Mysterious Realm, Visiting the Little Fox Immortal (Big Chapter, Please Subscribe)

Inside the Su Family Yin She, Song Cheng's heartbeat quickened significantly.

Thinking through this matter from beginning to end gave him a deeper understanding of the world, and this depth was something most scions of great families likely did not yet grasp.

After all, a scion is only truly a scion if their "name is on a Spirit Tablet and their body is in an Ice Coffin."

It is nearly impossible for one person's name to appear on the Spirit Tablets of two different great families.

And for a family head to appear on the Spirit Tablet of another family is even more impossible.

Therefore, the situation Song Cheng had encountered was likely something others had not even realized yet.

Without a word, he first put the *Xuanxin Moon-Gazing* back into the cabinet, then grabbed the second cultivation manual and began flipping through it rapidly.

This second book was titled: *Xinhu Danti Gong*.

Song Cheng flipped through a few pages, and information flowed rapidly into his mind.

He felt dry-mouthed just reading it, with a sense of being a thief.

Thoughts swirled involuntarily in his mind.

In truth, both Su Ningyu and Su Mengzhen had treated him well; one viewed him as a man, the other as a brother-in-law, and both had treated him as family.

Yet, he had turned around and stolen the family's heritage—was that not a bit ungracious? But then he thought again: Su Mengzhen only enforced the "reward for merit" rule to maintain the Su Family's order; otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just teach him these techniques directly?

Besides, who said this was the Su Family? This was clearly inside his Nine-Layer Nether Tower, wasn't it? He was reading books in his own tower, not in the Su Family.

Various little versions of himself began to argue in Song Cheng's mind.

But no matter the internal struggle, he would not skip a single manual that needed to be read.

However, the last two booklets contained a lot of information, and he could not finish them in a short while.

As Song Cheng flipped the pages, he kept glancing toward the door, terrified that Su Mengzhen might suddenly walk in and catch him in the act.

So, he decided to go all the way; he carried the two manuals out of the Su Family Yin She, arrived at the "first layer of the Nine-Layer Nether Tower" outside his own quarters, and then began to study them carefully while keeping an eye on the Yin She.

After a long time, he finished reading the *Xinhu Danti Gong*.

This manual deepened Song Cheng's understanding of "Mysterious Grade Ding Quality" by another level.

If the *Xuanxin Moon-Gazing* was a method to "activate" a ghost to strengthen the soul, then the *Xinhu Danti Gong* was a method to "reach the body through the soul."

The "Yellow Grade Grade A" Qi-manifested phantom was already the human limit.

But if a powerful ghost drove the body, one could train to internalize that phantom, bringing it into the body, which in turn caused the physique to undergo some powerful qualitative changes; even the hair on one's body would produce supernatural effects for mortals.

This reminded Song Cheng of Su Ningyu's "white hair"—only a tiny, tiny amount of that "white hair" was needed to create "Manifestation Water" or "medicine people."

And these supernatural effects of the physique were merely incidental; the stronger aspect was the body itself.

'It seems the power of Mysterious Grade Ding Quality is not something one is born with.

A ghost should only be a type of innate aptitude.

One still needs to cultivate afterward to achieve it.'

Although Song Cheng had not yet practiced these two techniques, he already had a general understanding.

As for the third book, he hadn't opened it yet, but he had already roughly guessed its function.

Illusion, visualization, possession, manifestation of a giant ghost, the soul not perishing—Song Cheng thought, glancing at the Su Family Yin She.

No one.

He snuck back into the room and put the finished *Xinhu Danti Gong* back into the cabinet.

From beginning to end, he never saw his sister-in-law suddenly run out.

It stood to reason that his sister-in-law could not sense it.

A family head should only be the "user of this Yin She" and had not merged into one with it.

Quietly running back to the Nether Tower, Song Cheng continued to look at the third manual: *Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture*.

This manual was very thick, thicker than the first two combined.

He continued to flip through it.

After a long, long time, it took Song Cheng four or five hours to finish reading it.

Most of its functions were as expected; reaching Great Accomplishment indeed allowed one to harvest "all the power Su Ningyu had once displayed." Besides that, there was one thing that exceeded Song Cheng's expectations: the inherent characteristics of the *Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture* itself.

To put it simply, someone who cultivates the *Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture* is a "late-game hero."

This technique improves as your cultivation level improves; the higher your cultivation, the more tails you grow, and the more tails you have, the more terrifying you become.

This information was recorded in the very latter parts of the *Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture*, and Song Cheng estimated that only the family head could see this information.

One-Tail is nothing strange; no matter the fox, it will have one tail.

But starting from "Two-Tail," for every additional tail, you can store an extra reserve of power; to put it simply, "when your mana is very low, you can use the power stored in the second tail to instantly fill your mana."

Two-Tail is the first qualitative change.

And Six-Tail is the second qualitative change.

Starting from "Six-Tail," your "sixth tail" can not only store mana but also store "the power used to execute techniques."

For example, "you need to consume your own power to execute a move, right? Once consumed, the move is instantly released. But this sixth tail can store your move, and once consumed, it automatically stores it again."

In this way, when you fight an enemy, it is as if you have split into two people, attacking simultaneously.

The ultimate qualitative change of the *Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture* is the ninth tail.

But the manual only mentioned some hypotheses and did not explicitly write it out; clearly, this technique was also explored by people, and they had not yet explored the "Nine-Tail."

After reading, Song Cheng quickly put the *Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture* back into the Su Family, then returned to his body with a single thought.

A sense of hunger struck him, and he ran out of the Training Room.

Outside the door, the sound of his wife coaxing the child still drifted from the small rooms on both sides.

Song Cheng did not disturb them and hurried to the Dining Hall to get something to eat.

In the Dining Hall, there was food left for him.

He didn't care that the food was cold and started eating immediately.

Eating while thinking: "Who wrote the 'Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture'? The Su Family fled here from another continent that was destroyed."

"Then this 'Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture' might be something the predecessors of the Su Family spent an entire 'Continent Destruction Period' to figure out."

"It seems that cultivation techniques are indeed difficult to deduce."

Just as he was thinking this, a flash of information appeared before his eyes.

【You have viewed a Mysterious Grade cultivation technique; the probability of deducing 'Xuanwu True Qi' to the Mysterious Grade has increased to 0.04%.】

【Each deduction costs 6 points.】

Song Cheng only glanced at it, then hurriedly finished his meal. After finishing, he went back to the courtyard and wandered around, discovering that tonight An Jie and Tong Niangzi were each looking after their own child.

Tong Niangzi's room was noisy without stop, while An Jie's side was very quiet.

Clearly, Song An was a "little debt-collecting ghost," while A Ting was a "repaying-kindness baby."

Song Cheng scanned the rooms, went to neither side, but instead turned and continued to the Training Room.

Since he had a cultivation technique, he had to learn it immediately, even if he didn't sleep, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

This was being responsible to himself, and also responsible to his family.

Otherwise, "having obtained a peerless divine art, but dying before having the chance to learn it"—how sorrowful a thing would that be?

Before crossing over, he had read some stories where the protagonists clearly obtained techniques and resources but didn't hurry to cultivate with their lives, instead wandering around unhurriedly, only to be inexplicably dragged into a crisis after practicing just the beginning, and then barely surviving. That was truly infuriating to watch.

Therefore, he must cultivate, putting down everything else to cultivate.

If he didn't finish practicing these things, his heart would not be at peace.

Boom. Boom-boom. The heart that had stopped suddenly seemed to suffer an electric shock, violently resuming its beat.

In the lightless Ice Coffin, a pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened.

This was an unknown dark underground space. The temperature here was extremely low; ice shards hung from the permafrost dome, arranged in a staggered, orderly fashion, dangling down.

There were ice flowers, ice bamboo shoots, ice trees, and even ice pillars growing from the ground, stabbing upward. Nearby, there was also an underground river, only that river had long since frozen, frozen deep inside from the surface down to the riverbed.

In the silent darkness, fourteen Ice Coffins were stacked.

And one of them suddenly pushed open slowly. A figure with long legs, graceful and hot, visible even through the dimness, walked out. That figure carefully covered the coffin lid, humming a tune, and happily walked out of this land of ice and snow.

Three days later.

Midnight.

Song Cheng sat cross-legged on the roof ridge of the small courtyard, looking up at the bright moon.

Closing his eyes, the bright moon emitting a bright glow immediately turned into a large ink blot.

And the moonlight also turned into twisted black lines baring fangs and brandishing claws.

Song Cheng opened his mouth, circulating the method taught by the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing," inhaling with his mouth, while his Soul visualized those black lines invading his body. This was the main cultivation method of the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing," and this cultivation method specifically stated: only those with an Innate Ghost Soul could cultivate it.

Song Cheng inhaled and inhaled and inhaled, and thought and thought and thought... but in these three days, there was not the slightest bit of progress.

The air he inhaled was just air, and as for visualizing the black lines invading his body, it was "purely blind imagination."

After three days, the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing" couldn't even show a "Not Yet Initiated" status, as if it were clearly stating, "You simply do not have an Innate Ghost Soul."

Song Cheng stopped his movements and continued to ponder.

These days, he had racked his brains to cultivate this technique.

Even though he kept failing, he had managed to figure something out.

He discovered that the cultivation method of this "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing" was actually somewhat similar to taking a "Soul Strengthening Pill," and the raw materials of the "Soul Strengthening Pill" also contained "Spirit Element of an Evil Ghost," a "Spirit Element" that originated from Ghost servants.

Song Cheng had long since seen the formula for the "Soul Strengthening Pill."

The content of "Evil Ghost Spirit Element" inside was extremely, extremely small; it would be diluted and diluted again before being made into medicine. And its function was to break through the defense line of Yang Qi to accept moonlight. Therefore, moonlight could increase Soul strength.

But combining it with his own feeling of taking the medicine, Song Cheng guessed that "moonlight... is poisonous."

And that unknown "ash" was for detoxification.

First, the "Evil Ghost Spirit Element" opens the body's defense line, allowing the body to accept moonlight.

Second, moonlight strengthens the Soul, but moonlight is poisonous.

Finally, the "ash" helps you detoxify.

The above is the pharmacology of the "Soul Strengthening Pill."

Combining this pharmacology, Song Cheng began to reflect on the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing."

He made a guess in his heart:

First, a "Ghost" can control the body, actively opening the Yang Qi defense line to let the body accept moonlight.

Second, moonlight stimulates the Ghost, causing the Ghost to strengthen, but moonlight is poisonous.

Finally, the circulation method of the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing," body and Soul working together, detoxifies it.

This should be the cultivation principle of the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing."

"Then, if this guess is correct."

"I cannot find the opportunity to cultivate the 'Xuanxin Moon-Gazing' because I simply cannot control my body to actively open the Yang Qi defense line."

"I can't even do the first step, so there is naturally no need to talk about what follows."

Song Cheng thought carefully again about the process of swallowing the "Soul Strengthening Pill."

In fact, he originally couldn't use that Pill either.

Once the "Ice Country little person" arrived in his body, it would have been finished off immediately.

But because of the Ghost Tower, everything became different.

"Then, try visualizing the Ghost Tower first, and then cultivate inside the Ghost Tower."

Thinking of this, Song Cheng sat cross-legged again.

With a movement of his mind, the Nine-Layer Nether Tower appeared in the void.

Song Cheng sat upright on the first floor of the Tower and once again circulated the "Xuanxin Moon-Gazing."

It was useless.

He climbed to the second floor again.

It was useless, but he did not lose heart; he climbed and climbed, testing it floor by floor.

When he climbed to the eighth floor, he discovered the moonlight was gone.

Climbing to the ninth floor, the moonlight was there again.

He sat at the top of the Tower, which "leaped out," and once again circulated the Xuanxin Moon-Gazing Art.

Whoo— he took a deep breath, simultaneously visualizing and absorbing the moonlight.

Instantly, the twisted moon radiance seemed to be attracted, and a vortex formed in the ocean of ink-like darkness, surging toward him one after another.

This place seemed to be the boundary between his body and Soul.

If he did not open his body, the moonlight could not invade, but this boundary was an exception.

And just at this moment, Song Cheng felt his panel jump, producing a change.

He looked: 【Add Points: 4973 points】

【Realm: Yellow Grade Grade A】

【Cultivation Art】

Xuanxin Moon-Gazing Art (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Not Yet Initiated (0/32)) There was nothing to hesitate about.

"Add until full."

In an instant, the points decreased by 480.

Many mysterious and wonderful sensations emerged from Song Cheng's heart.

Those were days of diligent and bitter practice, day after day.

Day after day, he shed sweat and racked his brains, cultivating this art.

However, even though he had found the method to absorb moonlight, he realized more and more that he was not an "Innate Ghost Soul" at all; he was not a member of a noble family at all.

He was a mortal.

But what of it, if he was a mortal?

He was not resigned.

Thus, he sat atop the Nine-Layer Nether Tower, cultivating desperately.

If others put in one part of effort, he would put in ten or a hundred times that.

As time passed, he felt his own Soul growing stronger, yet his Soul still did not have the dark luster on the surface of the body like "Su Ningyu" or "Su Mengzhen."

But he did not lose heart and continued to cultivate. Finally, on some unknown day, a faint darkness appeared on the surface of his Soul.

He was ecstatic, but upon looking closely, he discovered this "darkness" was merely plated onto his Soul by the Tower.

However, what the Tower plated was also his.

Xuanxin Moon-Gazing Art, Completion!

Song Cheng opened his eyes, let out a breath, rested briefly, and then began to cultivate the Xinhu Danti Gong without stopping.

This was an art that used the Soul to nourish the physical body, thereby breaking through the original limits of the body.

The strengthening of the Soul caused the body to produce a strange power of restraint and regulation, which could assist in pulling back the originally expanded phantom shadow.

Song Cheng had thought it would require another bitter battle.

But since the Xuanxin Moon-Gazing Art had already opened the way, turning his Soul into a Ghost Soul,

the subsequent cultivation felt quite natural, as if water were flowing into a channel.

Twelve hours later. Song Cheng's panel changed:

【Add Points: 4500 points】

【Realm: Mysterious Grade Ding Quality】

【Cultivation Art】

Xinhu Danti Gong (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Not Yet Initiated (0/32)) Xuanxin Moon-Gazing Art (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Completion)

"Cultivate, until Completion!"

Twenty-four hours later.

Song Cheng's panel changed again:

【Add Points: 4034 points】

【Cultivation Art】

Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (One-Tail) (Not Yet Initiated (0/32)) Xinhu Danti Gong (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Completion)

Xuanxin Moon-Gazing Art (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Completion)

He glanced at the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture, and suddenly felt wild joy in his heart.

What he feared most was not having too many arts, but having no arts to cultivate.

So this Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture is practiced one tail at a time? Then... I wonder if it can be practiced to Nine-Tail in one go.

And never mind Nine-Tail, even?

Although Song Cheng felt the possibility of succeeding directly was not high,

but, let's practice and see.

"The Su Family's foundation is indeed profound."

Song Cheng sighed inwardly, "However, this Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture should also be bestowed upon meritorious clansmen one tail at a time, right? After all, in the entire Su Family, perhaps only Su Mengzhen is at Two-Tail."

"Good, add points, add until full, fill them all up!"

"Use sweat and diligence to become even stronger."

In a moment, the panel settled.

【Add Points: 2114 points】

【Cultivation Method】

Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Two-Tail) (Completion)

【Skills】

One-Tail Fox Dance (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Completion)

Two-Tail Fox Fire (Mysterious Grade Ding Quality) (Completion) It seems that once this "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture" is cultivated to the Two-Tail stage, it is difficult to continue.

As for "Skills," they only appeared after the cultivation method had been mastered; Song Cheng simply added points to them all at once until they reached Completion.

At this moment, Song Cheng compared his cultivation progress and thought about the content of the "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture," immediately making a judgment: "It hasn't ended; there is still a lot of content left. And the Third Tail requires the Soul to be further strengthened."

He searched his mind for the corresponding content and muttered: "Complete the Reappearance Tribulation to step into a higher level."

The method to complete the Reappearance Tribulation is to use the power of an evil Ghost to further enhance the strength of the Soul.

However, this evil Ghost power requires one to take certain 'Spirit Elements far exceeding those of a Ghost servant' from the evil Ghost when it awakens, and then digest this object.

The process of digestion requires experiencing the curses that the evil Ghost once endured. That is, a Reappearance.

During the Reappearance process, it is accompanied by extremely terrifying psychological distortion and emotional impact, hence it is called a tribulation.

Once failed, the Soul will be severely damaged at best, and one will become insane or foolish at worst."

"So that's how it is."

In an instant, Song Cheng understood many things.

The method previously used by Su Houzhang was actually a misguided path; he also wanted to borrow the power of an evil Ghost to reach a higher level, but he thought of using the Soul of an existence at the same level as a "buffer cushion," and then attaching himself to the evil Ghost.

What is the difference between this and "stripping oneself clean, then taking a companion, and running into a tiger's mouth together"? "That Soul secret record notebook is problematic."

After seeing the true method of advancement, Song Cheng connected many things from before and after.

At this time, he looked at "Two-Tail" and knew that his major improvement had come to an end.

"Tomorrow, when I meet Yun E, I'll see if she can give me some Spirit Elements to help me break through." Song Cheng always felt that he should be able to pass the "Reappearance Tribulation" of Tanghe Village relatively easily.

He was not discouraged.

At the very least, he already understood that the "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture" was not just a "Mysterious Grade Ding Quality" cultivation method.

For a long time to come, he would not need to deliberately search for higher-grade cultivation methods.

A good thing.

In the Training Room, Song Cheng opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

For the past few days, he had ignored everything and cultivated desperately; apart from running to the Dining Hall to shovel down a few bites of food, he was back in the Training Room.

Even though only six or seven days had passed, it felt as if he had already spent who knows how many years.

However, he had managed to cultivate the Su Family's cultivation method to the highest realm currently attainable in one go.

This feeling was truly too comfortable.

He glanced at the data again: 647~1294.

Comparing this to Su Ningyu's "435~870" and the Su Family head's "525~1050," Song Cheng had a feeling of having returned to his comfort zone.

He performed a brief test.

He discovered that he could also manifest a giant Youhu.

It was a two-tailed white fox, significantly dim on the surface.

It could emit laughter, dance gracefully, and charm all living things; it could also use a terrifying soul Huxia. This Huxia seemed to be able to burn a person's Soul directly, and it counted as the first terrifying method Song Cheng had encountered that could perform Soul attacks.

However, because his "Soul" was cultivated by connecting to the Ghost Tower, the appearance of this "Two-Tail White Fox" was stored on the ninth floor of the Ghost Tower.

If Song Cheng wanted to visualize the "Two-Tail White Fox," he had to first open the "Ghost Tower folder," and then select the "Two-Tail White Fox sub-file"... Perhaps it was precisely because of this strange cultivation method that Song Cheng, who should have become stunningly beautiful because of the "Two-Tail White Fox," did not undergo any changes.

After a simple test, he stretched, got up, went outside, called Ling'er to serve him, had a wonderful bath, ate his fill, and only then went to find his wife and children.

Tong Niangzi said: "Master, what have you been busy with these days? You haven't been training the troops, and you haven't been looking after the children either; you've really worn me and Sister An out. Little A Ting has been asking 'where is Daddy, where is Daddy' non-stop."

Song Cheng felt guilty in his heart; he picked up his little darling and spun her around in mid-air three or four times, only making An Chenyu, who was standing to the side, feel dizzy.

When he stopped, the little darling looked excited and said: "Again, again."

Song Cheng continued to spin.

This time he spun six or seven times.

The little darling giggled.

An Chenyu said worriedly: "Husband, stop spinning."

Song Cheng threw the little darling into mid-air again, throwing her several yards high, and then caught her lightly and skillfully.

An Chenyu watched with her heart in her throat; although she knew her man wouldn't make a mistake, as a mother, she was still afraid to see her child fly ten-plus meters into the air and then fall back down.

The little darling, however, laughed in a milky voice, very happy.

The father and daughter played for a while, and An Chenyu hurriedly snatched A Ting away, then looked at Song Cheng and said: "Husband, go do what you need to do."

Beside them, Tong Niangzi said speechlessly: "Master, look at Xiao An."

Song Cheng turned his head and looked at his son.

Xiao An was sucking on his hand while staring at him, his eyes shining.

Song Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

An Chenyu said: "Husband has been in seclusion for these two days, he must have had a breakthrough, that's why he's happy."

Tong Niangzi rolled her eyes and said: "Maybe it's because Su Huxian is about to arrive that he's happy."

An Chenyu suddenly smiled and said: "Sister Jia Er, you are all alone, can you contend with little Song?"

Tong Niangzi thought for a moment and said seriously: "Sister An, even if you and I add our strength together, it won't work; little Song... cannot be defeated by one or two people."

An Chenyu said: "Then having another sister wouldn't be a bad thing."

Tong Niangzi sighed and said: "I know... but I'm worried that Su Huxian won't be easy to get along with. If it were someone like Sister An, even if little Song married a hundred, I wouldn't say anything. But Su Huxian..."

As the master of Zhushan Temple, Tong Niangzi still harbored awe and fear toward that mysterious Youhu hidden in darkness and legend.

Besides, she was not even sure if that fox immortal was a fox or a human.

If it were a fox, then... for Song Cheng to fight the fox and then come to fight her, she felt it was strange in her heart.

Moreover, beasts are cruel, and those not of one's own kind are, in the end, not so reassuring.

Song Cheng had also originally thought Su Ningyu was a fox spirit, but after he finished practicing the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Scripture himself and was able to manifest a Two-Tail Youhu, he understood that this was just a cultivation technique.

Su Ningyu's true form was nine times out of ten not a fox.

Thus, he coughed lightly, leaned in, and said: "Boss, Su Ningyu is not necessarily a fox. I will go investigate first, and then do this and that..."

An Chenyu smiled and said: "Even if she is a fox, it does not matter."

Tong Niangzi spat and said: "An Jie, you just spoil him."

Song Cheng smiled, kissed the two ladies and the two children on their faces, and then turned to go out.

He had a premonition.

Su Ningyu was arriving soon.

Imperial Capital.

Thousands of palaces and halls, glazed tiles, gold and jade bricks; the noble aura soared to the heavens.

If one looked down from a high vantage point, one could discover that the inner city, outer city, and even the suburbs of the Imperial Capital were packed with people.

Although it was a bit of an exaggeration, even here in the suburbs, the prosperity and bustle already surpassed that of a Zhoucheng.

Many people had already realized the existence of the "Yang Qi city wall," so anyone with some ability would try every possible way to come here... here, an inch of land is worth more than an inch of gold.

You may have gold, but you might not be able to settle down here.

In such a place, even if it is just the suburbs, the people living here are all powerful nobles when placed outside.

The Imperial Court is composed of the Divine Weapon Hall and the Star Gazing Tower... but that was hundreds of years ago; few know what changes have occurred over this long time... but everyone understands one point: the Huangcheng hides countless secrets, and the water here is deep enough to bury anyone silently, even if a world-shaking big shot comes here, they could die without a sound.

It is too complicated here.

It connects to countless factions, and the interpersonal relationships are intricate and complex.

And in such a place, in a mansion within the Huangcheng of the Imperial Capital's inner city, a man looking like a scholar was speaking with righteous indignation.

"Prime Minister, the Six Towns have a major problem."

"They have been in the border regions for years, in an isolated city bordering the infinite wilderness; if nothing strange happened, that would be the strange thing."

"Now, even if the bandit leader has been eliminated, there is no guarantee that they were not just small fry pushed to the front."

"This group of people must absolutely not be settled in the fertile Donghai Zhou or Fengzhou."

"The best disposal would be to send them all to Thunder Cloud Province."

"People from a bitter and cold place should go to a bitter and cold place."

"Otherwise, there will surely be a great disaster, and it is right before our eyes."

Opposite the scholar was a middle-aged man with a tall figure, great poise, and an aura full of someone in a high position.

This middle-aged man had handsome features; even though he had some age, time had only wiped away the vanity in his appearance and added a deeper charm.

This was a thoroughly beautiful man.

The middle-aged man said: "Zhao Qianzheng, I know everything you said. I also told the Heavenly Son long ago. As you know, the Heavenly Son rejected it."

"Prime Minister, why?" the man named Zhao Qianzheng asked, filled with shock and doubt.

The middle-aged man said: "I am only the Prime Minister; the one who manages this world and arranges these worldly affairs is the Imperial Court, not me."

Zhao Qianzheng thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Could it be because Thunder Cloud Province is the Prime Minister's fief, so the Imperial Court..."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "Things have reached this point, so let us just watch for now. The small Six Towns may not necessarily be able to stir up any trouble. Return to the Star Gazing Tower and continue to watch the world's trends; if you truly have conclusive evidence, come find me again."

Zhao Qianzheng resigned helplessly.

After walking out of the Prime Minister's residence and getting into the carriage, Zhao Qianzheng gritted his teeth and slammed the carriage seat.

Conclusive evidence?

If there really were conclusive evidence, then it would no longer be the root of trouble, but the disaster would already be formed!! However, at the same time, he already understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Previously, he had heard rumors saying: the Prime Minister is a philanderer, and the Luxury King's consort had an affair and was caught red-handed by the Luxury King.

He thought it was false.

The Imperial Court and the Prime Minister also said it was false.

But now it seems, this matter is nine times out of ten true.

Now, in the Imperial Court, the Luxury King must be working against the Prime Minister.

Whatever the Prime Minister wants to do, the Luxury King will definitely oppose it to the death.

If the Prime Minister wants to go east, the Luxury King will definitely go west.

If the Prime Minister says it is a deer, the Luxury King will definitely say it is a horse.

If the Prime Minister wants to break up the remnants of the Six Towns and distribute them to Thunder Cloud Province, the Luxury King will definitely say "The Prime Minister harbors evil intentions; he wants to secretly develop his own power."

The Luxury King is one of the Imperial Court's own, the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager, and now... the one in power is precisely the Empress Dowager.

If the Empress Dowager does not trust the Luxury King, would she trust the Prime Minister? "Ruining the country, ruining the country!" Zhao Qianzheng could hardly believe that the root of a nation's disaster could actually be buried because of a woman.

Just because the Prime Minister could not control his crotch and got involved with the Luxury King's consort, this root of disaster was buried?

How could there be such a ridiculous thing!

How could state affairs be so childish?

He could not help but clench his fists and slam the carriage seat, but unfortunately, he was powerless.

However, he also harbored a fluke.

The Six Towns were, after all, remnant troops, and everything had indeed not yet been settled.

'Let's wait and see.'

In Hanping Prefecture, everyone in the city, as long as they saw her, would uncontrollably, without even blinking an eye, stare fixedly at her.

She walked past the city gate.

The city gate guards forgot to ask for her travel permit.

She walked through the streets, and the surrounding clamor turned quiet, the dynamic scene turning into a still one.

No matter what you were doing, or what you wanted to do, the moment you saw her, you would drop everything and do only one thing: stare at her.

Her allure held a kind of magic.

If the sounds here were amplified many times over, one could clearly hear the continuous, undulating sound of heartbeats.

Where she walked, the heartbeats were like thousands of drummers desperately beating their drums.

Yet she did not spare these people a single glance.

She walked along happily, like a "two-dimensional young girl" preparing to meet her sweetheart, until a man dressed as a scholar appeared at the end of the road; only then did she wave from afar and call out, "Little Song~~~"

To welcome Su Ningyu, Song Cheng had specially changed into scholar's attire today. At this moment, he looked at the "two-dimensional young girl" before him and was truly quite surprised; she was very alluring and very beautiful, but he always felt she was still too green, the kind of greenness of "the Su Family has a daughter just coming of age." No, wait, Su Ningyu, do your Soul and your original body have different styles? Your Soul is more like your grown-up original body, isn't it? Is it because you want to become that style that your Soul is like that? This... how is this any different from meeting someone from the internet in real life? "Little Song~~~" the little fox immortal continued to wave.

Song Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, his lips moved twice, but in the end, in front of the commoners of the prefecture, he shamelessly opened his mouth and, with overflowing enthusiasm and as if no one else were around, shouted, "Sister Su~~~"
