Duan Lingtian thought in his heart and quickly guessed the other party's identity.
Besides Prime Minister Gu You Ting, there shouldn't be anyone else that was able to stand on the side of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor and had such a demeanor.
"This Gu You Ting actually aroused killing intent towards me …."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart and faintly guessed the reason.
Presently, not only within Paladin Academy, even the entire Imperial City was comparing him with Gu You Ting's son, Gu Xuan, and imperceptibly stepping on Gu Xuan and praising him.
Presumably, this Gu You Ting had aroused killing intent towards him because of this!
The dignified Prime Minister of the Crimson Sky Kingdom was actually so narrow-minded ….
Vigilance arose within Duan Lingtian's heart.
He was able to discern that this Gu You Ting was extremely difficult to deal with, as he was a person that was adept at concealing his heart.
After the killing intent from before flashed and disappeared, Gu You Ting didn't have any other unusual actions. A person that was able to conceal his emotions so perfectly was absolutely not a simple figure.
"Long live your Majesty."
Zhan Xiong respectfully bowed to the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor and slightly bowed.
"Vice Dean Zhan, you may rise."
The Emperor nodded and slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty."
Duan Lingtian looked at the Emperor and lightly nodded as he bowed.
The Emperor slightly frowned when he saw Duan Lingtian's actions, whereas Gu You Ting, who stood at the side, had already coldly shouted. "Audacious Duan Lingtian! Why don't you kneel when you see his Majesty? Could it be that you really think that you can be mentioned in the same breath as Vice Dean Zhan just because you've made some meritorious contributions? "
"Prime Minister Gu, his Majesty hasn't even spoken …. You're making such a ruckus in front of his Majesty, yet you don't know where you place his Majesty? As for whether I bow or not, to put it bluntly …. What does it have to do with you?! "
After Duan Lingtian noticed Gu You Ting arousing killing intent towards him earlier, he was filled with vigilance and hostility towards Gu You Ting. Now that he was lectured by Gu You Ting, he instantly retorted.
Gu You Ting's face went grim and killing intent appeared in his eyes once again ….
At this moment, even Nie Yuan and Nie Fen had a trace of a bitter smile on their faces.
This Little Tian was actually so wanton and unrestrained before the supreme Emperor of the Crimson Sky Kingdom …
However, they were not worried.
With them around, nothing would happen to Duan Lingtian.
"Hahahaha …"
At this moment, the Emperor laughed. A carefree smile appeared on his aged face as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "You are Duan Lingtian?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded slightly, but when facing the Emperor, he was very courteous.
"You are the first person to contradict the Prime Minister in front of me … The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
The smile on the Emperor's face never stopped, as if he was still thinking about the scene just now.
Gu You Ting was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty is exaggerating. I just think that Prime Minister Gu is exaggerating. It's just a formality. Why do you have to be so rigid?"
Duan Lingtian said slowly, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Now that you mention it, I am curious. Why aren't you kneeling?"
The Emperor asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, in my eyes, in the entire world, besides the heavens and earth, only my parents are able to make me kneel …. As the saying goes, there is gold beneath a man's knees. I kneel to the heavens, earth, and my parents!"
Duan Lingtian said.
"There is gold beneath a man's knees. I kneel to the heavens, earth, and my parents …."
The Emperor was stunned when he heard this, and after carefully digesting these words, he laughed carefreely. "As expected of the person who was able to allow an army of 100,000 to capture the Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Barbaric City without losing a single soldier …. You actually have such arrogance! However, you do indeed have the qualifications. "
"I permit you to dispense with kneeling when you see me in the future. How about it?"
The Emperor's current mood was obviously very good.
But Prime Minister Gu You Ting's mood wasn't very good, and his eyes that looked at Duan Lingtian occasionally flickered with a trace of gloominess.
If one didn't carefully notice the gloominess in Gu You Ting's eyes, one would be utterly unable to notice it.
"Thank you, your Majesty."
Duan Lingtian hurriedly bowed as he expressed his thanks.
"Alright, the main reason I called you here today is to reward you …. This time, you commanded my Crimson Sky Kingdom's army of 100,000 to capture the Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Champion Kingdom without losing a single soldier. This is an unparalleled military merit! Tell me, what do you want? "
The Emperor looked at Duan Lingtian as he directly asked.
As soon as the Emperor said this, even Nie Yuan, Nie Tian, and Zhan Xiong who stood at the side couldn't help but be slightly moved.
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
Gu You Ting hurriedly dissuaded. "A young man doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, your Majesty, you …."
"What? Prime Minister, you want to make a decision for me?"
Although the Emperor was old, his eyes narrowed now, and his indifferent words caused Gu You Ting's face to go pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, this subject absolutely doesn't have such intentions!"
"Hmph! I presume you don't have the guts! However, Prime Minister, you've slightly lost your composure today. "
The Emperor grunted coldly. Ever since he found out that Gu You Ting's son, Gu Xuan, had caused the death of over 10,000 soldiers, a ball of rage had arisen in his heart.
It was also because he'd always thought highly of Gu You Ting. Otherwise, even if Gu Xuan wasn't present, he would still punish Gu You Ting!
After all, it was the father's fault if the son didn't teach the son!
"Yes, this subject knows his mistake. This subject was anxious about his son, I hope your Majesty can forgive me."
Gu You Ting hurriedly pleaded for leniency.
"Stand up."
The Emperor spoke indifferently, and his tone didn't carry the slightest emotion.
"Thank you, your Majesty."
Gu You Ting stood up.
"Prime Minister Gu, according to my knowledge, Gu Xuan seems to have already returned to the Imperial City two months ago, right? What do you mean when you say that you miss your son dearly? Could it be that your Majesty has punished Gu Xuan and made Gu Xuan reflect in prison? "
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he spoke indifferently.
After he finished speaking, he ignored Gu You Ting's furious gaze and looked at the Emperor as he said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The Emperor couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
This little guy, what a formidable mouth!
"Duan Lingtian, tell me, what do you want?"
The Emperor returned to the previous topic and asked Duan Lingtian once again.
"Your Majesty, I want you to set up an organization and let me be the head of this organization ….."
Duan Lingtian pondered for a moment before he looked at the Emperor and spoke slowly.
"Oh?"
When the Emperor heard Duan Lingtian's words, he felt that it was a novelty. "Then tell me, what kind of organization do you want me to set up for you?"
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard!"
When Duan Lingtian said these three words, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard!
It was also one of Duan Lingtian's dreams in his previous life.
When he thought of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life and the 'tyrannical' Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian's heart palpitated with excitement.
To put it bluntly, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the secret service of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a blade in the hands of the Emperor at that time, possessing monstrous power.
Actually, Duan Lingtian only wanted to play around and experience a similar 'addiction.'
After all, he would be leaving the Crimson Sky Kingdom soon, and he didn't know if he would have the chance to play in the future ….
Or perhaps, even if he had the chance in the future, he wouldn't have this thought.
"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Presently, it wasn't only the Emperor who was puzzled, even Nie Yuan and his son, Zhan Xiong, and even Prime Minister Gu You Ting had puzzled expressions.
When Duan Lingtian saw that the Emperor's interest had been aroused, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the so-called Embroidered Uniform Guard is an organization that directly belongs to Your Majesty. Besides Your Majesty, it isn't subject to the interference of anyone else! As for the Embroidered Uniform Guard's function, it is to share Your Majesty's burdens and eliminate all injustices in the Crimson Sky Kingdom. For example, helping Your Majesty deal with people who disrespect you, for example, finding the person who poisoned Your Majesty …. "
When Duan Lingtian spoke up to here.
Besides the Emperor, the expressions of the other four people present went pale!
"Duan Lingtian, don't talk nonsense. His Majesty's status is lofty, who would dare poison His Majesty?"
Gu You Ting looked at Duan Lingtian and spoke coldly.
However, the Emperor's following words caused Gu You Ting to be dumbstruck.
"You … You're able to discern that I've been poisoned?"
The Emperor looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, not only am I able to discern that you've been poisoned, I'm even able to discern what poison you've been poisoned with. Moreover, I know that you've been poisoned for many years …. If it wasn't for Your Majesty's deep cultivation, perhaps you'd have long since …."
Although Duan Lingtian didn't continue speaking, everyone present was able to understand what Duan Lingtian meant.
"Your Majesty …."
Nie Yuan, Nie Yuan, and Zhan Xiong looked at the Emperor and were shocked in their hearts.
His Majesty seems to have admitted that he's been poisoned?
A trace of coldness arose in their hearts. Who exactly dared to poison the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor!?
"If I agree to your request, can you really help me find the person who poisoned me?"
The Emperor's eyes focused, and a dignified aura enveloped Duan Lingtian's body.
Actually, he'd secretly investigated the person who poisoned him for a long time, but he came up empty-handed.
Duan Lingtian remained unmoved and smiled indifferently. "If Your Majesty agrees to my request, not only can I help Your Majesty find the person who poisoned you, I can also cure Your Majesty's poison!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
The Spirit Cleansing Pill is really a good thing ….
It can be used anywhere.
"What!?"
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the Emperor who originally had a calm expression couldn't help but be moved.
After all, even the Alchemist Guild's Guild Master, a Grade 6 Alchemist, was helpless against the poison he was afflicted with.
He'd practically resigned himself to his fate.
According to his estimation, he could only live for another half a year at most.
So, to the outside world, he'd always declared that he was sick and not poisoned ….
Actually, with his cultivation, how could he possibly be sick?
"You can really cure the poison for me?"
The Emperor took a deep breath and stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian. His emotions were slightly agitated, as if he'd grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
If the poison was cured, he could at least live for a few more decades.
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, I can refine a medicinal pill for you to suppress the poison in your body right now …. It's enough to suppress a portion of the poison in your body and allow you to live for another year."
Duan Lingtian's face was carefree, and his body emitted strong confidence.
"You … are an alchemist?"
The Emperor was stunned.
Chi!
Duan Lingtian flipped his hand, and a strand of pill fire was faintly discernible.
In an instant, everyone present, except for Nie Yuan and his son, the Emperor, Zhan Xiong, and Gu You Ting were all stunned.
This Duan Lingtian, besides having a heaven-defying natural talent in the Martial Dao and a heaven-defying natural talent in Military Advisor, he's even so heaven-defying in alchemy?
An 18-year-old Grade 9 Alchemist!
