Heading Kingdom
"Is that true that Bai Xiang managed to break through?" Zou Shun, the second prince of the Hediong Kingdom was surprised to hear the news.
"Yes, Your Highness." The ssenger stated.
"What is your opinion about this matter, Teacher?" Zou Shun asked his teacher.
Han Changpu, the second in command laughed. His eyes were shining as he heard the news.
"Wow, I really want to fight with a Nascent Soul cultivator." Han Changpu smacked the table.
Zou Shun knew that his teacher would say sothing like that.
"Don’t suddenly go to find him." Han Tingguang, the general of Hediong Kingdom reminded his younger brother, Han Changpu.
Han Changpu was soone who liked to fight a strong opponent. He joined the military just because of that reason.
"I know." Han Changpu clicked his tongue.
"So, he succeeds." Han Tingguang sighed.
"What do you think he would do after this, General Han?" Zou Shun asked.
"If we talk about the old Bai Xiang, he might stay out of the problem. However, we are talking about the new Bai Xiang right now. He is strong. And no one could stop him if he wants to attack others." Han Tingguang said.
"Then, what do you think about how another country would react to this news?" Zou Shun asked.
"Cailing Country might be back off from attacking the Liuyin Empire from now on. However, the Yue Kingdom might think differently." Han Tingguang stated.
"Why are you saying that?" Han Changpu was kind of confused.
"Because Cailing Country used to have soone who managed to break through into Nascent Soul Realm but sothing happened and that cultivator killed everyone in the royal family and the minister family. They knew what would happen if they pissed off the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
However, it was not the sa in Yue Kingdom. From what I got from our spies, there is a new deputy. He did not think much about the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and thought that he would fight a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with several soldiers." Han Tingguang scoffed.
"Well, they do have a large number of soldiers right now." Zou Shun rembered that.
"In war, number is not always going to win. We need strength and strategies." Han Tingguang said.
"Yes. That is right." Zou Shun stated.
"Anyway, let’s report to His Majesty first about this." Han Tingguang said.
He looked at his brother, Han Changpu. "Changpu, you will go back to the Imperial City and report this news to His Majesty."
Han Changpu frowned. "Huh? Why ?" He did not want to go back there.
"Just go. It is an order." Han Tingguang looked at his brother.
"Alright... Alright..." Han Changpu said.
...
Liu Longwei arrived at the military camp with a ssenger from the Capital City.
The ssenger brought a letter from the emperor to Bai Xiang. It was regarding the talented alchemist.
Liu Longwei looked at the entrance. Inside this place, his fiance was there. He wondered how was she doing right away.
Liu Lan laughed at him after knowing he had been sent to the military camp. He was not angry at that idiot since he also aid to co here. To be honest, he was grateful to Liu Lan for giving this punishnt. This way, he could be with his fiance openly.
The ssenger approached the soldiers arrogantly.
"Hey, open this gate...I am a ssenger from His Majesty." The ssenger stated.
The soldiers looked at the ssenger like looking at an idiot. After that, they ignored him completely.
"Hey, you! Do you hear ? I am His Majesty’s ssenger." The ssenger shouted.
Liu Longwei also felt like this man was an idiot. He wondered how this man got his job as a ssenger in the first place.
"If you are a ssenger from His Majesty, you should know the protocol. Please show us the token." The soldiers glared at the ssenger.
The soldiers emitted a murderous aura. Well, they were soldiers who went to war before. They killed people before. No wonder they were looking murderously dangerous.
The ssenger forgot about that. It was so embarrassing for him. He slowly took out the token as the ssenger and showed it to the soldiers. He began to feel proud again.
The soldiers looked at the token. Both of them nodded at each other. One of them went inside.
"Hey, where do you want to go?" The ssenger wanted to follow the soldier who went inside.
However, he had been blocked by the sword that had been held by another soldier.
"Stop there. My partner would call soone. He would verify the token." The soldier stated.
"What? Do you think I am lying to you?" The ssenger pointed his finger at the soldier.
"Sir, you better stop pointing your finger at if you don’t want to lose it." The soldier glared sharply at the ssenger.
The ssenger gulped. He quickly put his finger down.
"We need to verify that because lately there are a lot of spies that want to enter our military camp. The security has to be tightened up. That’s all." The soldier stated.
The ssenger gritted his teeth holding back his anger. When he t Bai Xiang, he would place a complaint about the soldier under Bai Xiang.
Not long after that, the soldier who went inside had returned with soone else. The person asked for the token to be verified.
The ssenger showed it to the person. After looking thoroughly at the token, he nodded.
"The token is genuine." The person said.
The ssenger snorted. ’Of course, it is genuine.’
"Please follow . And who is this?" The person looked at Liu Longwei and his aide.
"Oh, that is the famous third prince and his aide." The ssenger snorted while looking down on the third prince and his aide.
The third prince had offended the fourth prince and the Noble Consort Furen. That was why he was here.
"The emperor ordered him to co and stay here for a period as a punishnt." The ssenger explained.
"Oh, I see. Co in." The person said.
The person escorted the ssenger to et General Bai. The ssenger finally saw Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng.
"General Bai." The ssenger greeted Bai Xiang.
"Why do you co here?" Bai Xiang asked.
After knowing what his daughter had been suffered in the Capital City, he did not have any good feelings toward the people from there.
The ssenger took out the decree. Everyone kneeled down imdiately. However, Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were still stood up. The ssenger frowned.
"General Bai, Junior General Bai, what are you doing, still standing up? Quickly kneel down on the royal decree." The ssenger said.
Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng looked at each other.
"Are you serious asking us to do that?" Bai Tingfeng asked.
"Huh?" The ssenger was confused. They should be kneeling.
"I understand that you are young and did not know about this." Bai Xiang said.
"What?" The ssenger was still confused. ’Is there anything else that I don’t know about?’
"My descendant from and I don’t have to kneel down to the emperor or any of the royal family mbers." Bai Xiang stated.
The ssenger was shocked. However, when he was thinking for a while, he rembered that.
"Please announce the royal decree." Bai Xiang said.
The ssenger coughed several tis to clear his throat.
"His Majesty ordered the talented alchemist to co to the capital city to fulfil his duty for the Liuyin Empire." The ssenger stated.
Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng frowned. What did he just say? Talented alchemist? Even the soldiers around frowned.
The emperor asked for that alchemist who helped them to increase their strength to protect the country to be an alchemist exclusively for the royal family only. No way.
"What do you an by that?" Bai Xiang said.
"General Bai, the emperor knows that you have a talented alchemist to begin with. The emperor wanted him to go to the Capital City and serve the royal family. He would be known as the royal alchemist." The ssenger felt it was a great honour to serve the royal family.
However, it was not the sa as Bai Xiang and others thought. They looked at Bai Xiang and waited for his answer. Well, they were hoping that Bai Xiang would not give the alchemist to the royal family just like that.
