"Pa!"
The storyteller white haired old man slapped the table and said: "The three saints created the world, the seven nations were the foundation. Ten thousand years, the Yue family's daughter became the empress. "
The old man's poem made all the customers in the teahouse quiet down. Yue Qingxue had just ascended to the throne, but the old man actually dared to talk about her, he was quite daring.
In the past ten thousand years, there had never been a female empress in the seven nations. It could be said that Yue Qingxue was the first person to do so. It also caused countless discussions. The world was shaken.
The people of Yue Nation were also very confused, not knowing whether this was good or bad. To most people, the change of the throne was too far away from them, and it was not their place to make decisions. It was just that when a woman became the empress, they felt a little awkward.
Then there was the invasion of the demon race, and on the border of Yue Nation in the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range, there had already been many battles. The other six nations also sent news that they had found traces of the demon race.
Moon God Capital was located in the center of Yue Nation, so they could not feel the danger and terror of the demon race. To the people of Moon God Capital, the demon race was like some kind of demon beast that came out of some trench. Although it was a little scary, it was still too far away, and not worth caring about.
After all, there were very few people who truly understood the demon race. Those who understood the situation of the demon race would definitely not speak carelessly. But the various actions of the upper echelons of the empire, when passed down layer by layer, would also make the people at the bottom feel a faint uneasy atmosphere.
Under these circumstances, the ascension of Yue Qingxue as the empress made people feel even more uneasy.
So, the moment the old man spoke, he attracted everyone's attention. The storyteller was naturally full of stories, but they were all well-informed, so they could more or less hear new things.
"Her Majesty is the youngest daughter of the retired emperor, her mother is Empress Duanqing. Since childhood, she has wandered to the Eastern Wasteland Mountain Range Tielin Sect. "
When the white haired storyteller said this, his old face revealed a somewhat ambiguous smile, "Everyone must feel that this place sounds familiar. That's right, Overlord Gao Zhengyang was also born here. Her Majesty and Overlord Gao Zhengyang are best friends … "
When the old man said the words "best friends", he deliberately used some force. This kind of ambiguous joke, those who understood would naturally understand, and those who didn't understand wouldn't be affected.
Sure enough, many of the customers below laughed knowingly, and some even shouted and jeered. On the other hand, there were some simple and honest people who didn't know what was going on and were at a loss.
Gao Zhengyang, who was sitting in a private room on the second floor, couldn't help but laugh. This old man was really wretched.
Yue Qingyu gritted her teeth and muttered, "What a despicable old man."
"Even if you can understand it, you're still a pervert …" Gao Zhengyang teased.
Yue Qingyu blushed, but she wasn't Gao Zhengyang's opponent in this kind of topic.
Yue Qingxue sat by the side and quietly watched as Gao Zhengyang chatted with his sister. Her bright eyes revealed a rare gentleness. She didn't like power, and she hated open and covert fights.
Being with Gao Zhengyang, being with her younger sister, a simple and ordinary life was what she wanted.
Forcefully seizing the throne was just to quickly consolidate the power to fight against the demon race. Another reason was that Gao Zhengyang had told her before that he looked forward to her becoming the emperor.
Although Gao Zhengyang was joking, he clearly felt that being the emperor was quite interesting. Yue Qingxue was willing to fulfill this wish on his behalf.
When the time was right, she could also pass the throne to Gao Zhengyang.
These were all her thoughts, and no one had ever said it. She wasn't interested in talking about it with others. Even if it was Gao Zhengyang, she wouldn't tell him all the secrets in her heart.
"Speaking of His Majesty, you're also a genius, and you're already a rank nine mage. In the ten thousand years of history of the human race, the number of experts who reached rank nine at this age can be counted on one's fingers. Compared to Overlord Gao Zhengyang, you're not much inferior … "
The old storyteller still had a sense of propriety. He changed the topic and began to boast about Yue Qingxue.
In all fairness, the old man wasn't exaggerating. Reaching rank nine at the age of twenty two was indeed rare in the history of the human race. If there wasn't a monster like Gao Zhengyang, Yue Qingxue's achievements would be enough to shock the world.
It was just that Gao Zhengyang had reached rank nine a long time ago, so compared to Yue Qingxue, people would always feel that she was lacking a lot. Towards her achievements, there would be less respect.
"This old man is quite sly …"
Hearing the storyteller praise Yue Qingxue, Yue Qingyu's expression also became better. She had originally wanted to teach the old man a lesson later.
Gao Zhengyang smiled, this old man dared to tell stories in Moon God Capital, if he didn't have a brain, he would have been beaten to death. He patted Yue Qingxue's shoulder, praising: "You did this beautifully!"
He paused, then said in an old-fashioned tone: "Being the Emperor is very hard, I'm very pleased that you dared to take up this burden."
Yue Qingxue looked at Gao Zhengyang in annoyance, but didn't say anything.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but rub Yue Qingxue's head, "Don't worry, I'll support you. If there's no other way, I'll just throw up and run. "
"Nonsense again."
Yue Qingxue lightly pushed Gao Zhengyang's hand away and said: "Since I've become the Emperor, I'll live or die with Yue Country."
Although Yue Qingxue's voice was soft, her gaze was very firm. Just as she said, since she had taken up the responsibility of being the Emperor, she would do everything in her power to fulfill it.
If it was a normal person, they would have tried to persuade Yue Qingxue to live or die with Yue Country. However, Gao Zhengyang was different from normal people, he laughed and said: "That's right, it should have been like this yesterday. There's something you can't do, but there's something you must do. If you want to retreat and escape when the situation is not good, you'll never become a strong person. "
Gao Zhengyang's words were a bit irrelevant, it sounded like he was mocking her. Yue Qingxue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
Gao Zhengyang felt very wronged, he said innocently: "Whether it's a martial artist or a sorcerer, there's no need to doubt their aptitude after their martial arts reach the ninth rank. If you want to go further, you have to understand your heart and find your own belief. You've taken it upon yourself to save the world, this belief is very noble, and your spirit is extraordinary. As long as you don't waver, you'll become a Saint in minutes. "
Yue Qingxue didn't understand what "in minutes" meant, but she could understand what Gao Zhengyang meant. She could also tell that even though Gao Zhengyang had been smiling all along, his words were definitely not a joke.
"It's so easy to become a Saint?"
Yue Qingyu suspected that she had reached the ninth rank intermediate grade after fusing with the Burning Soul Sword Seed. But it was forcefully pushed up by the Burning Soul Sword Seed. She didn't know when she would be able to reach the ninth rank upper grade. Now, she didn't even know where the door to the Saint rank was!
"The so-called Saint rank is actually the unity of the mind and body. Knowing what you want to do is the heart, doing what you preach is the body, and being unwavering is the spirit. Thus, the unity of the mind and body is the Saint Dao. "
Gao Zhengyang said: "Simply put, once you reach the ninth rank, you have to learn to be persistent. Of course, you have to choose the right direction. If you choose the wrong path, like your aunt, you'll never have any hope. "
At the mention of Yue Ziying, Yue Qingyu couldn't help but squint her bright eyes, revealing a pitiful look. She was very concerned about this aunt. But she didn't dare to ask too much, fearing that she would hear a cruel answer from Gao Zhengyang.
"I didn't kill her, I left her in the Canyang Plain to retire."
Gao Zhengyang understood what Yue Qingyu meant, and specially explained to her.
Yue Qingyu felt relieved, and her smile brightened. Even Yue Qingxue had a look of relief in her eyes.
She didn't regret what she did to Yue Ziying, but from the bottom of her heart, she didn't really want to kill Yue Ziying. After all, she was her aunt. Gao Zhengyang's arrangement was obviously considerate of their feelings.
Otherwise, according to his habit, he would have smashed them into powder.
"Thank you." Yue Qingxue lowered her head and thanked him. She didn't know how to deal with Yue Ziying, so she directly threw her to Gao Zhengyang. She was also a little embarrassed.
"Saying thank you is the most insincere. If you really want to thank me, you should at least sleep with me for a few days. "
Gao Zhengyang said with a laugh.
"En." Yue Qingxue replied softly.
Gao Zhengyang was just casually flirting, he didn't expect Yue Qingxue to be so direct. His smile couldn't help but be a little awkward. Unknowingly, Yue Qingxue had already changed from a girl to a woman. This made him feel both vexed and happy.
He thought for a while and said, "Before becoming a saint, your soul must be pure."
"En." Yue Qingxue wasn't disappointed and replied softly.
Gao Zhengyang felt that something was wrong. He was an experienced veteran, yet he showed his timidity in front of a young girl.
"Brother-in-law, why do you look so guilty? Did you do something bad?"
After Yue Qingyu entered the ninth rank, her senses were much sharper. She noticed that something was wrong with Gao Zhengyang and teased him.
"Don't talk about adult matters, little brat." Gao Zhengyang reprimanded.
Yue Qingyu was so angry that she was about to cry. She and Yue Qingxue were born on the same day, so how did she become a little brat? This guy was too much of a bully!
Gao Zhengyang saw that the situation wasn't good and hurriedly changed the topic, "How's the situation in Fire Nation? I heard that it's very chaotic there."
"The Vermillion Bird Saber is still in the hands of the Fire Nation's royal family. The other countries are in check and balance, so they can't work together. Flame Island is in a mess because of all kinds of forces. I heard that there are many experts of the Demon Race there, wanting to persuade the Fire Nation to surrender … "
Speaking of the situation in Fire Nation, Yue Qingxue's expression became more serious.
After Huo Tianlie was killed by Gao Zhengyang, the Fire Nation was in chaos. In these two years, no one could clean up the mess. The situation became more and more complicated.
Fire Nation was in the center of the seven countries and bordered five countries. If the Fire Nation surrendered to the Demon Race, it would be a huge threat to the other six countries.
The six countries couldn't allow the Fire Nation to surrender. If they really surrendered, the six countries would definitely unite to destroy the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation's royal family also knew this, so they didn't dare to make a decision. The situation was now in a deadlock.
Gao Zhengyang nodded. "I'm the one who created this mess. I will go and clean it up."
He solemnly spoke, "That saint-ranked assassin with the Netherworld Shadow Dragon Sword is extremely terrifying. You guys must stay in the Moon God Capital, you must not leave. Only here, will New Moon be able to protect all of you. "
Gao Zhengyang had seen Yue Changkong's injuries before. That Netherworld Shadow Dragon Sword Intent was boundlessly profound. From this, one could see how terrifying that saint-ranked assassin was. For a ninth-ranked expert like Yue Qingxue, if she left the domain of the Royal Heaven Six Paths Reincarnation Sword, she would definitely not be able to block the assassin.
Yue Qingxue nodded. This matter concerned life and death, she would definitely be careful.
"There are trillions of devils, their numbers are tens of times more than us humans. However, the majority of the devils are extremely stupid, there's no need to worry about them. The war between humans and devils would surely be a long and drawn-out war. You have to stay calm, don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a land, don't care about victory or defeat on the battlefield. Protect the population, protect the important resources, and slowly grind away at the devil race … "
Gao Zhengyang had an extremely deep understanding of the devil race. When he had nothing to do, he would do many divinations. These were the strategies he thought of to deal with the devil race.
This would be a long and drawn-out war. No one would be able to determine victory or defeat in a single battle. They had to stall for time and prepare for a long battle. After all, the human race was the master of this world. As time dragged on, the human race's advantage would grow greater and greater.
This time around, Gao Zhengyang came back because he wanted to travel around the six countries and form a strategic alliance with all the emperors.
Yue Qingxue also felt that this was logical. But she felt that something was wrong when Gao Zhengyang decided on the grand strategy with just a few sentences.
She trusted Gao Zhengyang's strength and also his character and intelligence. But this matter concerned the survival of the human race. Wasn't it a little too rash to make a decision with just a few sentences?
Before Yue Qingxue could ask, Gao Zhengyang already understood her meaning. He involuntarily shook his head. It was already so hard to convince the people closest to him. It would definitely be even more difficult for the royal families of the other five countries.
"The reincarnation of a new era does not only have the devil race as its enemy. Simply put, the devil race is only the first enemy. Behind them, there are still a hundred enemies of the same level. They will have to fight and kill in the human world … "
Gao Zhengyang said in a deep voice, "The human race can only try their best to endure and wait for an opportunity. Believe me, this will be an incomparably long torment … "
Gao Zhengyang's words were like a huge mountain pressing down on Yue Qingxue and Yue Qingxue, making it hard for them to breathe. More than a hundred enemies of the same level as the devil race. That was really incomparably despairing.
"It is just seeking life in the midst of death …"
Gao Zhengyang was very carefree, "I will set off for the Fire Nation today and settle the mess there."
After Gao Zhengyang left, Yue Qingyu couldn't help but sigh, "That place is a mess. I wonder what brother-in-law is going to do?"
