Chapter 994: The Demon Kingdom Gives In (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Heavenly Sound Temple, Sea Moon Cliff, and Seeping River Academy had all received the news and had their own reactions to it. Without exception, they all showed goodwill to the Marquis of Zhenbei. He was only seventeen years old, but he already had such sword intent power. He would be much stronger if he entered the Immortal Realm in the future.
When the geniuses on the Worldly Cosmos Ranking heard this, they all wanted to spar with this Marquis of Zhenbei.
In the mansion left behind by the King of Dongchang, Shen Ping looked at the commander-in-chiefs of the four legions who had come to give in and said with a smile, “The four of you are all generals nurtured by my father. Speaking of which, you’re my uncles. There’s no need to do this. In the future, I’ll still have to rely on you to guard this place!”
He’s telling the truth. He had no intention of staying in this bitterly cold place for too long. This time, he was purely here to take over the mess left behind by his cheap father. He could be considered to have appreciated his kindness. After staying for a while, he would leave.
The four battalion commanders could not help but heave a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Ping’s sincerity.
For the next period of time, with the cooperation of the generals of the four legions, it was much easier to deal with the various matters at the border. Shen Ping arranged for the second and third branches to enter and let them train at the border. He stayed in the manor every day and enjoyed the dance.
His main focus was on studying the Dao of other weapons and techniques to see if he could comprehend the Great Dao as quickly as the Sword Dao. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. It seemed to be affected by the Sword Dao. When cultivating sabers, spears, rods, and axes, it would fuse with sword intent. This allowed him to understand the difficulty of the top-notch Great Dao. For him to be able to step into the Sword Dao in such a short period of time, it was probably partly due to luck.
“My lord, the edict has arrived.”
Soon, the emissary finished reading the imperial edict and left. Shen Ping blinked his eyes. What did the emperor mean by placing the beautiful concubines he had given to him in Seeping River Academy?
Yue Zhu said, “Could it be that His Majesty wants you to go to the Seeping River Academy? But that doesn’t make sense. The students recruited by the academy are all around the fourth realm. When you reach the sixth realm, you will graduate. You can’t be the headmaster of the academy, right?”
Shen Ping couldn’t figure it out either, but he guessed that Emperor Yu must have a plan. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll make a trip. Uncle Chen will temporarily assign some matters to the border.”
The Seeping River Academy was not far from the Sword Whisper Tower. They were both located in the south. However, the journey from the border to the academy was very long. Even a fast horse and boat would take a month. If an Earth Immortal walked directly through the astral winds, it would only take four to six hours.
“Monarch Mountain, Sword Whisper Tower, Heavenly Sound Temple, Seeping River Academy, Sea Moon Cliff… The Yuhua Shen Dynasty or the five major factions in the world have a long history. Each of them is incomparably ancient. These factions in the red bracelet world are probably not simple.”
Actually, this was Shen Ping’s true goal. He really wanted to see what these ancient factions were hiding, or rather, what the master of Realm Sea Peak had left behind.
Apart from that, he had another goal, which was to find Miss Meng’s reincarnation. Although she had promised to give him the red bracelet, he had not obtained it after all. Therefore, as long as he discovered it, he would use the virtual interface to check her thoughts.
The bracelet is of utmost importance. There must be no mistakes. Even if he could not find anything this time, as long as he had the bracelet, he could continue exploring this palace world.
“The world is so big. With Miss Meng’s true soul power, she should be able to stand out. Even if she can’t reach my level, she should still be at the level of a prodigy!”
He suppressed his thoughts,
Shen Ping looked at Yue Zhu and asked about his mother.
“The information gathered by the House of Zhenbei is far inferior to that of the five major forces. Until now, we only know that Madame has gone to the Demon Nation. We don’t know anything else,” Yue Zhu said guiltily.
Shen Ping did not say anything else. The Marquis of Zhenbei’s main connections were in the army. It was already good enough to know that Madame Yu was in the Demon Nation. Several days later, to Shen Ping’s surprise, his mother, Madame Yu, appeared outside the border city.
“It was the demons who took the initiative to let go of the siege. I originally wanted to go to the extreme northern domain to search for precious medicines, but in the end, I was ambushed by the Demon Nation. However, later on, they retreated and came to the border city. Only then did I know that all of this was because of you, Ping’er!”
Madame Yu looked at Shen Ping as if she had gotten to know her son again. “I didn’t expect my son to be so monstrous. In just ten years, he became an Earth Immortal and even has such sword intent power!”
She hugged Shen Ping tightly. “The heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes! Blessed be your father’s spirit in heaven.” She cried tears of joy.
Shen Ping was speechless in his heart. It was not that the heavens had eyes. If he had not reincarnated into this body, this young marquis would probably have abdicated and given up his position. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary person whose bloodline and bones had been corroded by the medicinal liquid to become the Lord of the Marquis’s estate.
Thinking of this, he felt that when he arrived at Seeping River Academy, he could also find the mastermind behind this matter. After that Earth Immortal entered the courtyard of the mansion back then, he had used his true soul power to mark it.
“Mother, you must be tired after coming all the way from the extreme north. You should go back to the residence and rest first. I’ll get Yue Zhu to boil water for you.”
Madame Yu pushed Shen Ping away and said in relief, “My son has really grown up.”
In the evening, the table was full of delicacies. It looked and smelled good. After changing into a clean set of clothes, Madame Yu dressed up and regained the graceful and noble aura she had in the mansion. She scooped a bowl of broth for Shen Ping. “Eat more. You’re still growing.”
She then brought up the Sword Whisper Tower.
“Child, why do you want to marry the Sword Seed of the Sword Whisper Tower?” Madame Yu rebuked, “This engagement is arranged by your parents and the matchmaker. How can you treat it like child’s play? Although the Sword Whisper Tower’s Sword Seeds are all geniuses, the Sword Whisper Tower has its own rules and won’t easily break them.
“But don’t worry, my son. Although you won’t be able to marry a Sword Seed, there’s no problem with a Sword Son. Your mother will definitely find you a good girl.”
Shen Ping drank the broth without saying a word.
Madame Yu glanced at Yue Zhu again and reprimanded, “Yue Zhu, my son is still young and doesn’t know his limits. Why didn’t you persuade him? How can he casually bring King Dongchang’s twins with him? He hasn’t even married his first wife and he’s already taken in a concubine. If word gets out, what will the world think of my son?”
Yue Zhu quickly said, “Madam, I was wrong. Please punish me.”
Shen Ping sighed helplessly. Indeed, no matter in that world, all the mothers in the world were the same. Even if her son was the best in the world, he was still her son. There was no lack of arrangements. “Mother, it had nothing to do with Yue Zhu. I was the one who insisted.”
Madame Yu pulled a long face. “I asked Yue Zhu to stay by your side. If you do anything wrong, she will be punished. Seeing that she has served you with all her heart for so many years, I’ll spare her this time.”
Yue Zhu knelt on the ground and said, “Thank you, Madam.”
“All right, get up. You have certainly taken good care of Ping’er while I was gone.” She looked at Yun Yue and Yun Xia behind her and said indifferently, “Since you two have been taken by my son, the rules of the mansion have to be followed. Yue Zhu, you have to teach them the rules well. They can’t go overboard.” frёewebηovel.cѳm
Yue Zhu nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”
Yun Yue and Yun Xiao looked at each other and understood that their good days were coming to an end.
Shen Ping told his mother about Seeping River Academy. Madame Yu pondered for a moment and said, “Although Seeping River Academy is mainly focused on nurturing talents in the world, it has never followed the orders of the Imperial Capital’s Divine Dynasty. Its disciples are all over the world. They don’t care about nationality or status. They have always been a thorn in the side of the Imperial Capital. There are also some prodigies from the Demon Nation in Seeping River Academy.”
Shen Ping couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard that. “They even nurture the bloodline of the Demon Nation?”
“That’s right. The Seeping River Academy accepts all rivers and has stood tall for many years.”
