"The School of Kismet State lives up to its ten thousand years of heritage indeed. Their ability to manipulate people's hearts is truly remarkable."
"All the weaknesses of human nature are in these two short sentences."
Yun Yang could not help sighing as he looked at the bustling crowd below him, the citizens who had been encouraged to come and worship the Nine Supremes.
Such worship and reverence were supposed to be a great thing for the country, but now that it was being used by the School of Kismet State, it had become an extremely bad thing.
Yet, these people were acting in the name of righteousness, preventing the country's machinery from intervening directly!
Dealing with these people? Intervening?
Not allowing people to come and worship the Nine Supremes?
What would that be?
If they did so, they would immediately be labeled as being ungrateful. It would be putting away the bow when it had served its purpose, it would be overpowering its master, it would be …
That would really cause endless turbulence in the future!
It might even cause a civil revolt!
Yun Yang searched around and soon found news of Bao'er. He was in the palace, accompanied by a young girl who looked like she was carved out of jade, carrying a snow-white kitten in her arms …
That seemed to be … Big Whitey?
"Brother Bao'er, can you teach me how to practice and write?" The little girl stared at Bao'er with her big, adorable eyes, her gaze filled with admiration.
This little brother is amazing! He's only a few years older than me, but he can write, he can read, he can reason, and he even knows martial arts!
Wow!
This formation is amazing! I admire him so much!
Yun Yang was shocked to see her. Was – was this Deputy General Wang Zhuang's youngest daughter, Darling? The little girl was about five or six years old, looking even cuter than when he first saw her.
"What's so great about me? My uncle is the best." Bao'er said, "I learned what I know from my uncle."
"Your uncle is so awesome." Darling said admiringly, "Do I know your uncle?"
"Of course you know my uncle." Bao'er snorted. "It's Lord Supreme Cloud."
Nannan's eyes almost bloomed. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and cried out excitedly, "Ahhhhhh … Your uncle is Lord Supreme Cloud! I like him the most, worship him the most, the most … the most! "
However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any words.
In spite of this, Yun Yang was rendered speechless for a long time. How … how did I become an old man?
Bao'er said proudly, "Of course, my uncle is the most powerful person in the world!"
Some distance away, Yun Xiaoyao and His Majesty stood quietly at the side, watching the two children play with smiles on their faces.
After the smile, both of their faces were equally heavy.
His face was ashen. He was just forcing himself to smile.
"I've given this little girl a name." Yun Xiaoyao forced a smile and said, "Brother, do you want to hear it?"
The Emperor smiled and did not answer the question. "This is Wang Zhuang's daughter? Wang Zhuang followed the Nine Supremes into battle and died at Tianxuan Cliff. I don't think it's too much to name his daughter. "
Yun Xiaoyao replied, "Her surname is Wang. How about … Wang Yi?"
The emperor turned to look at Yun Xiaoyao and smiled. "Mother of the world?"
Yun Xiaoyao laughed heartily, his expression noncommittal.
The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "For now, let's talk about Feng Yi. We'll see after a few years. After all, to use Mother of the world, the first thing to do is Feng Yi!"
"Brother, you're the one who has thought this through. Of course, it should be so."
"Hmm. Have you contacted Supreme Cloud? "the Emperor asked.
"He probably already knows," Yun Xiaoyao said, "He should be on his way back now."
His Majesty paced two steps and said in a low voice, "Back? What for? He can't come back, he shouldn't! "
Yun Xiaoyao said, "This younger brother thinks so too."
"If he comes back, I'm afraid he'll die … I can't take this risk," the Emperor said.
During the last meeting, Supreme Cloud was asked to return earlier, but this time, things had changed completely!
Yun Xiaoyao said, "Brother, have you forgotten what the group of civil officials said? To quell the chaos before us, Supreme Cloud only needs to return and say a word. Everything will be settled and the situation will be set in stone."
The Emperor enunciated each word in a low voice, "I'd rather keep the chaos going than let him come back and fall into this trap!"
Yun Xiaoyao choked and said hoarsely, "I think so too."
"It's not appropriate for Supreme Cloud to show himself now, no matter what." The Emperor placed his hands behind his back and said faintly, "However, as long as he doesn't show himself for a period of time, I'm afraid someone will come after you and me. It could be the Shangguan girl, or the Ji girl …"
"No matter how I think about it, only these few people need to be watched closely. As for the others, they shouldn't be considered in the other party's plan."
The Emperor looked at Yun Xiaoyao. "Do you understand what I mean?"
Yun Xiaoyao nodded. "This younger brother understands."
"We brothers seem to have noble identities – one emperor and one king – that could easily shake the nation's foundation. However, the reality is that we're gone. While it will cause unrest to this country, it may not be fatal because we already have a successor and Supreme Cloud to intimidate the world."
"But if Supreme Cloud is gone … it's all over."
The Emperor said, "I'd rather die than betray Yutang! Brother! "
"This younger brother understands!"
"Yutang can take a step back for now. Any of Yutang's officials can be sacrificed, even you and I can die. But no matter what, nothing must happen to Supreme Cloud!" His Majesty said grimly. Once his words trailed off, he sighed. His eyes were filled with determination.
To be able to say such words, it was natural that he felt a lot of emotions.
It was because the situation in the capital had changed drastically in the past few days. It was too much for one's eyes to take in.
According to the civil officials' plan, it was indeed a piece of cake to deal with the scholars who were stirring up trouble outside. As long as they were meritorious, they could settle the matter. However, the entire plan had only just begun when it was suddenly met with the most extreme counterattack.
This kind of thing actually happened during the court session.
A civil official had just started to report to the court and had just begun, "Eighty-nine scholars who wrote books and spread propaganda for the School of Kismet State have been apprehended …"
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly rang out in the Aurum Hall.
The voice was cold but it carried an indescribable air of grandeur.
"Your Majesty, Emperor of Yutang, why are you targeting the School of Kismet State specifically?"
The voice was like a bell, reverberating in the hall.
All of a sudden, the expressions of everyone in the Imperial Court changed.
This was Yutang's highest authority!
This was the pinnacle of Yutang!
There were so many experts and so many officials here, but they had no idea where the enemy was. The other party could actually sneak into the hall without a sound at such a time.
What kind of trick was this?
Being able to enter this place without a sound, did that mean that he could kill everyone here without a sound?
The civil and military officials were in a frenzy. Everyone looked around but they could not find the person.
Yun Xiaoyao's eyes opened abruptly. He mobilized his deific consciousness with all his might and gathered his lifetime's cultivation base in an attempt to find the hidden person, but it was to no avail as well.
He could not help but be shocked.
