"Are we here already?"
Mo Qingyun exited the cultivation room when the two girls called him.
After coming out of the cultivation room, Mo Qingyun nodded at the two and walked out of the Black Devil Flying Ship.
"Zishu, who were your father's trusted aides when he was on the throne?"
Mo Qingyun asked Wang Zishu directly as he had a plan after coming out of the Black Demon Flying Ship.
Wang Zishu pondered when she heard Mo Qingyun's question. She recalled and said, "When my father was on the throne, there were five people who were highly regarded by him. They were the Domineering Marquis Wang Xiao, the Resourceful Star Pan Yong, the Divine General Ma Wenguang, the Grand Tutor Shi Wende, and the Grand Tutor Jin Chuanmie."
"Wang Xiao?"
Mo Qingyun was surprised to hear Wang Xiao's name among the five people mentioned by Wang Zishu.
He did not expect Wang Xiao to be so highly regarded by Wang Zishu's father when he was on the throne.
After a moment of shock, Mo Qingyun felt relieved and accepted this fact.
If Wang Xiao was not highly regarded, he would not have been able to gather people and successfully usurp the throne.
After pondering for a while, Mo Qingyun frowned and asked, "Did any of the other four pledge allegiance to Wang Xiao?"
In Mo Qingyun's opinion, there was no guarantee that no one would pledge allegiance after Wang Xiao successfully usurped the throne.
"The Grand Tutor Jin Chuanmie was the reason why Wang Xiao was able to usurp the throne."
Wang Zishu's face turned cold when she heard Mo Qingyun's question. A ruthless look appeared in her eyes as she said, "If it wasn't for his secret persuasion, how could so many officials pledge allegiance to Wang Xiao in secret?"
"It seems that Jin Chuanmie cannot be roped in."
Mo Qingyun immediately excluded Jin Chuanmie from his list of must-kill targets after learning about his situation.
Wang Zishu frowned slightly after hearing about Jin Chuanmie's situation. "As for Pan Yong, Ma Wenguang, and Shi Wende, I'm not sure about the specifics."
"Mm!"
Mo Qingyun did not continue asking after hearing Wang Zishu's words.
After so many years, things had changed. It was normal that Wang Zishu did not know about it.
"Let's find a city first and capture its City Lord to gather information."
After giving some instructions to the two girls, Mo Qingyun led them to search for a nearby city.
Based on her memory, Wang Zishu quickly brought them to an ancient City City City Lord Ancient city.
This ancient city was very dilapidated. The city walls were broken and the buildings in the city were old. It gave people the feeling of an old man in his twilight years.
"Wende City?
Wang Zishu frowned when she saw the words on the city gate. She seemed to be deep in thought.
Looking at Wang Zishu's reaction, Mo Qingyun asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this city?"
"If I remember correctly, this city used to be called Sunset Mountain City. How did it become Wende City?"
Wang Zishu asked in confusion when she heard Mo Qingyun's question. She widened her eyes in surprise and guessed, "Could it be that the Grand Tutor has returned and changed the name of this city?"
Mo Qingyun's expression immediately changed when he heard Wang Zishu's analysis. He felt a strong sense of anticipation.
If that was the case, it would save them a lot of trouble and they could look for the Grand Tutor directly.
"Let's enter the city and take a look."
After saying this, Mo Qingyun took the lead and walked towards the city gate.
Mo Qingyun and the other two arrived at the city gate. They did not even see a single city guard. It was obvious that the city was in a dilapidated state.
Mo Qingyun would have suspected that it was an abandoned city if there were no people walking around.
Although the city was in a dilapidated state, the location of the City Lord Mansion was still very obvious.
Mo Qingyun and the other two walked into the city. They saw a huge mansion in the middle of the city.
Mo Qingyun and the other two did not stop and walked directly to the City Lord Mansion.
Soon, they arrived outside the City Lord Mansion and saw an old man sweeping the floor.
Mo Qingyun looked at the old man in front of him with a humble expression and asked, "Sir, may I ask if the Grand Tutor, Wende, lives here?"
"There is no Grand Tutor here. You can go back."
The old man did not even lift his head in response to Mo Qingyun's question. He continued to sweep the floor unhurriedly.
Mo Qingyun was a little disappointed when he heard the old man's answer. He turned to look at Wang Zishu.
Meanwhile, Wang Zishu had an excited expression on her face as she gazed at the old man and said, "Grand Tutor, I'm Zishu. Don't you recognize me?"
"Zishu!"
The old man trembled when he heard Wang Zishu's words. It was as if he had been electrocuted.
Then, he looked at Wang Zishu excitedly.
"He is Grand Tutor, Wende!"
Mo Qingyun was shocked when he saw the old man's reaction. He guessed the old man's identity.
He did not expect the Grand Tutor, who used to be so powerful, to become an old man sweeping the floor.
Under Mo Qingyun's astonished gaze, Shi Wende sized up Wang Zishu. He then revealed an excited expression and said, "Your Highness, please follow me into the residence first. We'll talk about other matters later."
"Okay!"
Wang Zishu nodded and followed him into the mansion.
Mo Qingyun and Wang Zishu followed closely behind and entered the City Lord Mansion.
When Mo Qingyun and Wang Zishu followed, Shi Wende frowned and looked at them warily.
However, Shi Wende did not say anything in the end. He turned around and continued to lead the way.
Before long, under Shi Wende's lead, everyone arrived at a small courtyard.
There were some herbs planted in the courtyard and some farming tools were placed around. It looked like a small farmhouse.
Looking at this scene and Shi Wende's actions, it was obvious that he thought of himself as an old farmer.
"Your Highness, I am sorry for not being able to protect the late Emperor."
Shi Wende walked into the courtyard and knelt in front of Wang Zishu with a guilty look on his face.
Wang Zishu panicked when she saw Shi Wende's actions. She quickly helped him up and said, "Grand Tutor, you don't have to blame yourself. It's all Wang Xiao and Jin Chuanmie's fault."
Shi Wende's face trembled when he heard Wang Zishu's words. He quickly said, "Your Highness, Wang Xiao and Jin Chuanmie's cultivation have reached the mid-stage of the Universe Realm. Please don't seek revenge on them."
"Mid-stage of the Universe Realm!"
Wang Zishu's face was filled with astonishment after hearing Shi Wende's words.
She did not expect the two of them to improve so much in just a few decades.
Shi Wende's face tensed up when he reminded Wang Zishu. He said, "Your Highness, Wang Xiao's influence is very strong now. His lackeys are everywhere. You should leave this place as soon as possible and never come back again."
"No, I came back this time to restore the empire."
In response to Shi Wende's persuasion, Wang Zishu's expression was firm as she rejected his good intentions.
Hearing Wang Zishu's words, Shi Wende's expression was startled, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Clearly, Wang Zishu had stirred up his fighting spirit when she talked about restoring the empire.
