Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 250 - 58: The Only Grandmaster! Xihe National Preceptor_2
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they took their leave, but Jin Hezhi insisted that Ye Liuyun and the others stay a little longer to rest in the Imperial City of Xihe.
That was perfect.
Shi Sheng was begging him to let them stay in Xihe a bit longer, to have more time to be sweet and loving with Chai Hong.
His subordinate had finally found love.
As their leader, he definitely chose to support it.
"In that case, we’ll be intruding on your country for a little while!"
"No intrusion at all! No intrusion!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun agree, Jin Hezhi laughed even louder.
He waved his hand, indicating it was no trouble at all.
After Ye Liuyun and the others left the palace library, Jin Hezhi’s smile gradually faded as he watched their disappearing figures.
"Truly worthy of the title ’young Grandmaster’, the Great Qian indeed has abundant talents."
After just a simple conversation.
Jin Hezhi understood that Ye Liuyun was a deeply thoughtful person, not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Jin Hezhi was a man of great ambition.
Although Great Qian and Xihe were neighboring countries, Great Qian was much more prosperous due to its rich resources.
Faced with this juicy prospect, Jin Hezhi naturally wanted to take a bite, but there was no opportunity yet.
The Dynasty’s internal affairs had yet to stabilize completely.
Even though Jin Hezhi was inclined to wage war against Great Qian, he lacked the capability.
"Can you see anything, National Preceptor?"
At this moment, Jin Hezhi suddenly turned to look at the other end of the library.
The next moment.
A figure draped in a black robe, with its face obscured, slowly emerged.
Although the face was not visible, one could see the strikingly long legs under the robe.
In such a situation, Jin Hezhi’s eyes held no trace of covetousness—only genuine respect from the depths of his heart.
Because.
This person was the only Grandmaster of the Xihe Dynasty, and Jin Hezhi could not maintain his emperor’s position without his support.
"Blessed with abundant fate, a latent dragon in deep waters, his future achievements may not be less than mine."
A crisp voice sounded from beneath the black robe.
"Greater than the National Preceptor himself? Could he have the ability to break through to become a Land Immortal?"
Ye Liuyun, as a young Grandmaster, undoubtedly has exceptional talent. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
But simply having great talent does not mean one can break through to a Grandmaster. Luck and opportunity are indispensable, and perhaps only those who have achieved that realm understand the difficulty.
Jin Hezhi knew very well if it hadn’t been for the accidental discovery that he could boost his power by absorbing toxins, he wouldn’t have been able to reach the Grandmaster realm.
Moreover.
The downside of this fast-track method would slow his future cultivation.
If nothing goes wrong, he would never achieve the status of a Grandmaster in his lifetime.
Yet Ye Liuyun seemed to have the potential to break through to a Grandmaster.
Although this was merely the Preceptor’s conjecture, Jin Hezhi firmly believed it.
The remark about Great Qian being rich in talents was originally spoken as mere admiration; now it felt bitter.
Why couldn’t such talent be found in Xihe?
Detecting Jin Hezhi’s emotional shift, the Preceptor spoke lightly.
"You are not lacking either, born of noble fate, with an emperor’s aspect."
Even though the Preceptor couldn’t discern people’s Talent Entries like Ye Liuyun, some cultivators who excel in the art of fate can infer certain facts through fate.
It was because the Preceptor recognized Jin Hezhi’s aspect.
That he chose to support Jin Hezhi ascension to the throne.
"I could not have come this far without the Preceptor’s assistance!"
Bringing back his thoughts, Jin Hezhi smiled at the Preceptor in front of him.
The Preceptor shook his head, unperturbed, and said directly.
"Although Ye Liuyun is blessed with good fortune, this is Xihe; eliminating him would not be difficult!"
This was indeed their domain.
No matter how talented Ye Liuyun might be, one must know that a genius without maturity can hardly be considered a true genius.
It’s a moot point until he’s eliminated before fully realizing his potential.
",,,,,"
Jin Hezhi truly began contemplating the feasibility of the Preceptor’s suggestion.
But.
After pondering for a moment, Jin Hezhi shook his head.
"Enough, for now, my primary concern should be eliminating the factions left behind by my elder brothers."
When he was still a prince, Jin Hezhi was the youngest, with contenders for the throne all being his elder brothers, and although he emerged victorious.
Those elder brothers still left behind numerous factions within the court.
There were too many; Jin Hezhi couldn’t wipe them out in one fell swoop and could only methodically work through it.
Moreover, aside from this, there was one more thing.
"I heard that the old emperor of Great Qian merely abdicated and did not pass away. Apparently, his abdication was to prepare for breaking through to the Land Immortal realm!"
"That’s impossible!"
Just upon hearing Jin Hezhi’s words, the Preceptor instinctively refuted.
Being at the Grandmaster realm himself.
The Preceptor was acutely aware of how incredibly difficult it was to break through to a Grandmaster.
Even being described as a once-in-a-millennium genius, he’s still far from achieving Land Immortal status, so how could the old emperor of Great Qian be able to?
"I don’t believe it either!"
Jin Hezhi lightly shook his head.
"But it’s better to err on the side of belief; it needs verifying. If it’s true,,,,,"
By the end.
Jin Hezhi found it challenging to continue speaking.
The Preceptor, however, could easily guess his intent.
