Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 99
Chapter 99: A Grand Gift For Ye Xuan
But before Ye Yu could feel happy about the Yan Shang Seal, a supremely icy chill suddenly came from his palm.
Like bone-eating poison, it began to spread toward Ye Yu’s arm.
An immediate, intense pain followed. Ye Yu felt the world before him turn crimson. He roared, clutching his left hand tightly, trying to use external force to stop the chill from rising.
But it was useless. Even his spiritual energy was forced back the instant it made contact with the chill.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Xuantian Cauldron bloomed with green light again, forcibly halting the spread of the chill.
But it only stopped it; even the Xuantian Cauldron couldn’t completely dispel the icy chill within the seal.
Ye Yu, having narrowly escaped death, was drenched in cold sweat. He looked at the seal, which had slightly expanded in his palm, with lingering fear.
It’s hard to imagine what the consequences would have been if he hadn’t had the Xuantian Cauldron.
The people in the Imperial Court were startled at first, then suddenly understood.
Even if Ye Yu was exceptionally strong, he was only a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. Facing a Transformation God, although he had repelled them earlier, he must have been injured.
Seeing Ye Yu’s expression gradually return to normal, Qin Ruoxian’s tense expression relaxed.
Qin Wushuang also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Consecrate Nie, when you came, you said you wanted to test Little Yu’s abilities. Now you’ve seen them, haven’t you? ”
Nie Xing’s expression changed. He knew this was a step down offered by Qin Wushuang. He didn’t want to simply end things with Ye Yu, but the power emanating from Ye Yu’s palm genuinely shocked him.
He immediately chuckled, “Not bad, not bad. This kind of strength is top-tier even in the Yunlei Two States! ”
Ye Yu glanced at the two of them. He wasn’t surprised by Qin Wushuang’s choice. A Transformation God was naturally incredibly important to the current Great Qin.
Seeing that Ye Yu didn’t continue to press the issue, Qin Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, gave Ye Yu a grateful look, and then spoke again, “Little Yu, now that you’re back, what do you think about the Apprenticeship Ceremony? Should we go or not? ”
When Qin Wushuang asked this question, the answer was already in the hearts of the hundred officials.
Considering Ye Yu’s relationship with Great Yan, asking him to congratulate Ye Xuan? It’s unthinkable.
Seeing this, Qin Han quickly said, “Father Emperor, we can’t! Do we really want to be at constant odds with Great Yan? ”
“Shut up! I didn’t ask you! ” Qin Wushuang coldly snorted, increasingly dissatisfied with his eldest son’s weakness.
“Ye Yu, you must speak properly! Great Qin has given you your current position. Don’t drag Great Qin down! ” Seeing Qin Wushuang’s reaction, Qin Han warned through gritted teeth.
Qin Han’s words left everyone present, including Qin Wushuang, speechless.
They all knew that Qin Han had it backward. Great Qin’s current prosperity was entirely due to Ye Yu.
And what Great Qin gave Ye Yu was pitifully little.
“Ye Yu, do what you think is best. Don’t think too much. If necessary, I’ll go with you. ” Qin Ruoxian squeezed Ye Yu’s hand and whispered.
Ye Yu turned to look at Qin Ruoxian, smiled, and patted her head. Then he looked up at Qin Wushuang and said, “Since the invitation has arrived, we naturally must go. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall was shocked.
No one ever expected that Ye Yu would actually agree to go to Great Yan to congratulate them? Isn’t this tantamount to showing weakness?
Qin Han, upon hearing this, gave Ye Yu a look that said, “You’re finally being sensible. ”
After speaking, Ye Yu took Qin Ruoxian and left Xianyang Palace. As someone without an official position, and Qin Ruoxian being a princess, they didn’t need to participate in such matters.
“I’m sorry,” Qin Ruoxian whispered as they left Xianyang Palace.
In her opinion, Ye Yu’s actions were entirely for the sake of Great Qin.
Although Great Qin was currently prosperous, it didn’t have the ability to resist a force like the Nine Spirits Sword Sect.
If she were just an ordinary person, Ye Yu wouldn’t need to consider Great Qin’s problems at all.
Ye Yu was taken aback, then smiled, “Don’t worry. I’m not groveling. I have my reasons for doing this. ”
With a smile, Ye Yu sent Qin Ruoxian back to the Princess’s Mansion and then summoned Si Tu Guang.
With Great Qin’s growing prosperity, Si Tu Guang, once an Imperial Consecrate, had gradually declined in status. His cultivation base wasn’t high enough, so naturally, he didn’t have many tasks.
“Prince Consort,” Si Tu Guang bowed to him and said upon seeing Ye Yu.
Ye Yu waved his hand and said, “Please trouble Mr. Si Tu to run an errand for me. Go to Yueying Sect, find Gongsun Wuji, and tell him that I’m waiting for him in Great Yan Dynasty. ”
The matter of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect had been resolved. Now, it involved the Nine Spirits Sword Sect’s affairs in Qingzhou. He, the nominal Zi Xiao Saint Son, couldn’t stand idly by.
“Yes! Prince Consort! ” Si Tu Guang nodded and turned to leave.
“Take this pill. It might help you break through your cultivation realm,” Ye Yu took a Creation Pill from Dan Chenzi’s Storage Ring and tossed it over.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Si Tu Guang naturally knew the value of the Creation Pill. He was instantly overcome with emotion and was about to thank Ye Yu, but Ye Yu stopped him with a raised hand.
A few days later, led by Qin Han, the Crown Prince, eight people from Great Qin Dynasty set off for Great Yan.
Originally, if they used their cultivation to fly, they could reach Great Yan very quickly.
But Qin Han insisted on walking, and Ye Yu didn’t object.
These past few days, Ye Yu had been studying the Yan Shang Seal in his hand, but he hadn’t made any progress. Qin Han’s insistence on walking gave Ye Yu more time.
Because of the Apprenticeship Ceremony, the entire Qingzhou was incredibly lively.
Streams of light could be seen constantly flashing across the sky, all heading towards Great Yan.
After all, the name Nine Spirits Sword Sect was too resounding.
One could see how much of a sensation Gongsun Wuji’s arrival in Qingzhou to participate in the Sect Assembly caused.
Not to mention, the one who would be taking Ye Xuan as a disciple was the Grand Elder of the Nine Spirits Sword Sect. His status was far higher than Gongsun Wuji’s.
At this moment, the Great Yan Dynasty was practically in an uproar, not to mention how lively it was.
Everywhere was brightly decorated, and every subject’s face was filled with pride.
Although they were ordinary people who only had a vague understanding of the cultivation world.
But they could still glean some understanding of the Nine Spirits Sword Sect’s power from others.
“It’s truly Heaven’s blessing on Great Yan! The Crown Prince was actually noticed by such a great figure and taken as a disciple. Great Yan’s future is bright! ” Several Great Yan people were chatting in a Tea House.
“Exactly! The trade relationship between Lingyun Pavilion and Great Yan led to a surge in Great Yan’s national strength, not to mention the Nine Spirits Sword Sect now. ”
“It seems the new Crown Prince is indeed more capable than the old one! ”
Hearing these discussions, Qin Han, in a corner of the Tea House, looked playfully at Ye Yu sitting opposite him.
Ye Yu, however, didn’t feel any discomfort. Instead, he frowned, listening to the wails coming from his ears.
