Chapter 236: Backstabbing Empress Mingyue

Chapter 236 Backstabbing Empress Mingyue

"besides!"

Zhou Chen had already learned to answer quickly. His youthful face was full of admiration as he looked at Qin Xuan, then turned to Empress Mingyue and said seriously, "It was Master Qin who taught me that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles! Seeing is believing."

“We live under a set of rules and regulations. What you want, sister, is not a law-abiding Hades, but a Hades who can break free from these rules and regulations and set his own rules! A ruler who can create his own rules for the entire Mingyue Dynasty!”

As Zhou Chen recalled Master Qin's actions, they became increasingly clear.

Miaoyin Pavilion was a constraint, as was his identity as the Prince of Jin, and Diary Scribe constantly monitored and restricted him.

Master Qin taught him through words and deeds that he should break free from these constraints and be free from all taboos!

Empress Mingyue's eyes grew increasingly gentle.

Seeing Zhou Chen's resolute gaze, just as it had when he was young, Empress Mingyue knew the answer.

Her proud Hades brother finally came to his senses.

Furthermore, he is much more composed than before.

What she needs to do now is give Xiaochen enough time.

She will do her best to hold on until Xiao Chen is able to take over this heavy responsibility!

" Qin Xuan, your teaching by example is indeed more effective than sticking to old ways."

Empress Mingyue gave Qin Xuan a satisfied look.

She was glad she made that choice.

They have a higher regard for Qin Xuan's achievements as the head coach.

Qin Xuan shrugged easily, "It's all thanks to Hades' Comprehension Ability."

He spoke from the heart, which amazed Zhou Chen.

No wonder teachers like smart students.

Perhaps this is the difference between ordinary people and children of luck, such as Mortals and Geniuses.

A true Genius understands things instantly, can apply what they've learned to other situations, and receives the blessings of Heaven and Earth.

After being taught once, Zhou Chen learned it and was even able to grasp the deeper principles.

" Sister, I want to know if the Great Emperor Ziyang was truly as virtuous and filial as recorded in history books?"

Zhou Chen harbors a deep-seated resentment.

Even though he had already guessed it, he still wanted to hear a definite answer.

Empress Mingyue smiled gently and said, " Since the death of the late Emperor of the Ziyang Empire, the Grand Astrologer of the capital has been the fifteenth one so far!"

Qin Xuan was not surprised at all upon hearing this.

Since ancient times, imperial power has been absolute, with no distinction between father and son. Throughout history, how many examples have there been of patricide, fratricide, and brothers turning against each other?

Not to mention a cultivation Empire like the Hongmeng Continent, where a single ascension to the throne can take thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

It would be absurd for Great Emperor Ziyang to leave his opponents a way out.

How could it be as Ziyang Empire claims, with brothers being close, brothers loving, and filial?

"I see."

Zhou Chen's clouded Dao Heart is gradually becoming clear.

He no longer cared about comparing things, but instead bowed respectfully to Empress Mingyue and said solemnly, "This time, Master Qin offended Dowager Concubine for my sake. Given Dowager Concubine's vicious nature, he will certainly not let Master Qin off the hook. This man is ruthless, so I beg you, elder sister, to take good care of Master Qin, improve Master Qin's cultivation, and ensure Master Qin's safety."

Empress Mingyue glanced at Ning Waner, who had been standing blankly not far away, and said with a smile, "Although your second sister is dull-witted and sticks to the rules, Realm is a true quasi-emperor. Even the most skilled assassins can be dealt with by your second sister."

Ning Waner puffed out her cheeks uncomfortably.

She glanced at Empress Mingyue with a hint of resentment.

Before Qin Xuan was born, people always praised her for being knowledgeable and well-versed in both ancient and modern times.

Now that she has a 'new love' named Qin Xuan, she is being called conservative and overly dull!

Does the fact that she's read a lot of classical texts mean she's wrong?

Who knew that each of the authors who wrote those books had their own ulterior motives?

She could only see the words, but not the thoughts of the author!

【 The Daughter of Luck's resentment towards the host has increased, rewarding the host with +30,000 villain points!】

Seeing Ning Waner glancing at him jealously, Qin Xuan ignored her.

There's no time to deal with Ning Waner, that pedantic 'old scholar'.

He realized that Empress Mingyue only offered verbal rewards and had no intention of giving him any substantial reward at all.

She didn't even mention the expenses he incurred while on business trips... oops, I mean, the cost of prostitution.

She quickly reminded Dao, " Your Majesty, Dowager Concubine is vicious. Now that the King of Jin has died at the hands of Your Highness, it's inevitable that Dowager Concubine might resort to desperate measures. If she wants to harm Your Highness, Ning Waner is just a woman and can't protect Your Highness every moment. I'm just a Heavenly Human Realm. If I encounter a powerful assassin, it might be difficult for me to cope."

Empress Mingyue remained silent, her gaze falling indifferently on Qin Xuan.

She realized that this new royal army commander was trying to extort benefits from her!

This guy is really greedy!

Not only was he not grateful for being saved by her, but after only two days in the Mingyue Dynasty and receiving a nine-turn nether pill, he started demanding benefits again!

Below, Zhou Chen quickly echoed Dao, "Sister, Master Qin is absolutely right!"

Empress Mingyue flicked her fingers.

A nine-turn nether pill floated into Qin Xuan's palm. "This pill was recently refined and can help you break through the Quasi-Saint Realm."

"You were already able to kill Saint Realm in Heavenly Human Realm." " Peak, presumably after breaking through to become a near-saint, should be able to contend with Saint King Realm?"

Qin Xuan weighed the substantial nine-turn nether pill in her hand and muttered to herself with a sigh, "It's hard to say."

Zhou Chen immediately understood Master Qin's little scheme and once again advised Empress Mingyue, "Sister, when Master Qin took me out to train, he spent 600,000 top-grade spirit stones to activate the Divine Demon Bloodline within me, and I have already mastered it. Such a huge sum of money should not be paid for by Master Qin personally!"

"Six hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones?"

Empress Mingyue looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, noticing his intense gaze.

Empress Mingyue felt as if she had choked on her own words.

Everyone says that a younger brother is the best chainmail for his older sister, but why does she feel that the chainmail her younger brother is wearing is gleaming with the sharpness of blades?

Even if you're biased towards outsiders, you shouldn't go so far as to collude with them to cheat your sister out of her Yuan Stones!

Empress Mingyue glanced at Qin Xuan and said in a deep voice, " Did you really spend 600,000 top-grade spirit stones inside the Miaoyin Pavilion?"

Qin Xuan quickly shook his head, "That's not the number."

He remained calm and explained Dao methodically, "Actually, during the bidding for the courtesan, I spent 500,000 top-grade spirit stones..."

Empress Mingyue was about to nod in satisfaction when Qin Xuan continued, "Who would have thought that once we entered the back room of Miaoyin Pavilion, the courtesan would raise her price on the spot, saying that there was one price for a meeting and another price for a more in-depth conversation. I thought to myself, 'Well, I'm already here...'"

" The amount of spirit stones I spent inside Miaoyin Pavilion should be 800,000!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Waner turned his head away and stopped looking at Qin Xuan.

I'll say it again!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Even Empress Mingyue, with her usually composed demeanor, nearly broke down when faced with Qin Xuan's shamelessness.

With a wave of her hand, she tossed out a Storage Pouch. "There are 500,000 top-grade spirit stones inside. The national treasury is severely depleted, and I cannot provide any more."

"Five hundred thousand yuan it is."

Qin Xuan took it for granted that he would throw the Storage Pouch into the ancient prison-suppressing tower and did not make any further demands.

For small businesses, it's essential to know how to manage them effectively.

As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race.

Zhou Chen, however, was relentless.

He felt that Master Qin treated him with sincerity, and as his disciple, he should serve Master Qin as his father.

There are benefits, so how could I not remember Master Qin?

He cupped his hands in greeting again and addressed Empress Mingyue, "Sister, do you still remember the cage that Seal has imprisoned me for all these years?"

Empress Mingyue frowned. "I remember, so what?"

That cage was quite peculiar, to say the least.

Will Zhou Chen Seal seems to isolate one from all external influences.

Even the passage of time will not affect it in any way.

It exists like a special space within the Secret Realm.

Zhou Chen said earnestly, “I was in that cage for a long time, and I am extremely familiar with the atmosphere of that cage.”

"However, I often sense a familiar aura emanating from Master Qin. Perhaps it's because Master Qin's little tower and that cage share the same origin!"

"That cage isn't very useful if it stays in the Mingyue Dynasty. It would be much more useful if we gave it to Master Qin!"

Even Qin Xuan was surprised when he heard this. "What kind of cage are you talking about? The familiar scent, which one is it? Is it this thing?"

In front of Zhou Chen, Qin Xuan took out the ancient prison-suppressing tower and showed it to him.

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically, "This is the very essence of this tower that I am so familiar with, it is remarkably similar to that cage!"

call--

Qin Xuan's breathing began to quicken.

If his guess is correct, Seal Zhou Chen's cage should be the remaining part of the ancient prison-suppressing tower!

It should be noted that Dao's ancient prison-suppressing tower is now a quasi-emperor artifact.

If another layer of the tower is found, it will surely be upgraded to Emperor Weapon!

Emperor Weapon, also known as Jidao Emperor Weapon.

Within the vast Hongmeng Continent, even the number of Supreme Emperor's weapons is a drop in the ocean compared to Phoenix.

No more than two hands' worth.

The vast majority were controlled by the two behemoths, the Mingyue Dynasty and the Ziyang Empire.

If one or two pieces are scattered outside, that's already the limit.

If the ancient prison-suppressing tower can be upgraded to Emperor Weapon, his base value will skyrocket!

With the Emperor Weapon at his side, even without mobilizing the Power of the Underworld River, let alone Saint King Realm, even a quasi-emperor wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.

This is the ultimate sharp weapon for saving your life and killing someone!

Qin Xuan's gaze towards Zhou Chen showed even greater satisfaction.

Originally, he still felt that Zhou Chen was a Child of Luck, who was on the opposite side of his identity. So, he had to keep a backup plan, just in case.

Right now, when he looks at Zhou Chen, it's like an old father looking at his daughter—he finds her pleasing to the eye no matter how he looks at her.

Zhou Chen is a good person to get along with. When good things happen, he really doesn't forget his role as Master!

He decided that from now on, he would only be able to defend against one, two, three, or four attacks at most.

He was afraid that Chenzi would be wronged if there were too many!

"Xiao Chen, having a younger brother like you is truly a blessing for me, your older sister! "

Empress Mingyue was furious.

This was clearly the time for her to bargain with Qin Xuan.

Zhou Chen, her younger brother from the same parents, not only didn't help her negotiate the price, but instead raised the price for Qin Xuan.

They raised the price, and that was that.

Zhou Chen is so biased towards outsiders, she even stuffed her money bag into Qin Xuan's hands!

Empress Mingyue shook her head sadly, then a thought struck her.

Inside the treasury, a square tower appeared out of nowhere within Wutong Palace.

The instant the tower was exposed to the void, the ancient prison-suppressing tower in Qin Xuan's palm began to hum and tremble violently.

It was like an old bachelor meeting a stunningly beautiful, single woman.

" Qin Xuan, you stay here and return this item to its rightful owner. I can also protect it for you."

Empress Mingyue also couldn't fathom the origins of the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

She was simply curious whether the quasi-emperor artifact in Qin Xuan's hand, behind the Fusion tower, could be upgraded to an Emperor Weapon.

Such an existence is a national treasure, even among the two behemoths, Mingyue Imperial City and Ziyang Empire!
