Today, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng finally walked out of their chambers. Both of them were in high spirits, and as the sunlight cascaded down on them, Mo Qingcheng closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. She then opened her arms, as though wanting to embrace the sunlight.
"It's so good to have you around." Mo Qingcheng's countenance flickered with the glow of happiness. These few days, she was always together with Qin Wentian, occasionally concocting pills. The feeling she had was so surreal. If she could live like this for the rest of her life, she would have nothing more to ask for.
Qin Wentian turned his head, seeing the sunlight cascading down on Mo Qingcheng's flawless countenance, the smile on his face grew even more radiant. Such a wife, was something countless men yearned for even in their dreams.
"Qingcheng, you are the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. One day, I will hold the grandest wedding for you in the Royal Sacred Region, letting everyone in the world know that you are my wife." Qin Wentian silently vowed in his heart. Mo Qingcheng disregarded her reputation to be together with him, completely giving herself to him. He, Qin Wentian, was a man of character, how could he let Qingcheng down? How could he not give Mo Qingcheng a proper status?
Although he knew that Mo Qingcheng didn't care about her reputation, he did. He wanted Mo Qingcheng to marry him in a grand fashion, letting everyone in the world know that the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley had found a good husband.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian held onto Mo Qingcheng's hand. Mo Qingcheng stared at him as a sweet smile appeared on her face, nodding her head as she walked out.
The people from the Medicine Sovereign Valley stood guard in every corner of the grand hall. Upon seeing the two of them walking out, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The Holy Maiden and Qin Wentian had been cooped up together for four days straight. From this, one could tell how much the Holy Maiden loved the young man in front of her. She didn't care about what the outside world thought of her, nor did she care about her reputation.
Those from the Medicine Sovereign Valley understood that even the Medicine Sovereign wouldn't be able to stop them from being together. But of course, given how much the Medicine Sovereign doted on the Holy Maiden, how could he stop them?
Back then, there was someone who disrespected Mo Qingcheng, the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley, saying that she wanted to replace Mo Qingcheng. Not only that, the status of that maiden in the Medicine Sovereign Valley was exceedingly high, and her talent was also outstanding. However, the Medicine Sovereign personally interfered in this matter, saying that the maiden had offended her superiors. Hence, the Medicine Sovereign crippled her cultivation base and expelled her from the Medicine Sovereign Valley. After this incident, no one in the Medicine Sovereign Valley dared to provoke Mo Qingcheng again. Even if they were unhappy, they wouldn't openly clash with Mo Qingcheng.
"Saintess." Those from the Medicine Sovereign Valley all bowed when they saw Mo Qingcheng. Mo Qingcheng faintly stated, "I'm going to check on the injuries of the Human Emperor. You guys come with me."
"Right." The maidens nodded as they followed Mo Qingcheng to pay a visit to the Human Emperor.
Outside the chambers of the Human Emperor, there were still many experts present. There were even armored soldiers standing guard, the atmosphere was extremely tight. The Empress, Crown Prince and Ye Lingshuang personally came out to welcome Mo Qingcheng when they heard that she wanted to pay a visit. Within the chambers of the Human Emperor, there were only those close to the Human Emperor.
"I've concocted a few medicinal pills, hoping that they would be able to alleviate the injuries of the Human Emperor. At the same time, I also need to feed the medicinal pills to the Human Emperor. I'll need some time, so please wait outside and don't disturb me." Mo Qingcheng calmly stated. Other than her and Qin Wentian, no one else knew what she wanted to do.
"Right." The Empress smiled and nodded her head. "In that case, I'll have to trouble the Holy Maiden."
Mo Qingcheng was still as calm as ever. She casually nodded her head, not revealing the slightest hint of abnormality. In fact, she didn't even instruct the guards to seal off the chambers of the Human Emperor.
"Senior Human Emperor, after this, we might be a little disrespectful and do things that are out of line with etiquette. We hope that Senior Human Emperor can forgive us and keep this a secret." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to the Human Emperor. Only the Human Emperor could hear it.
The eyes of the Human Emperor flickered as an intense glint of sharpness flashed past. After which, he blinked his eyes, indicating that he had heard it.
As the Human Emperor, how many storms had he not experienced before? He naturally wouldn't make a big fuss about it. However, seeing how solemn Qin Wentian was, maybe …
"Senior Human Emperor, please consume this medicinal pill." Mo Qingcheng placed a medicinal pill into the Human Emperor's mouth. The Human Emperor opened his mouth and swallowed it. At this moment, the Empress and the others departed. She turned her head back and glanced at the Human Emperor. There was nothing to worry about. The Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley wouldn't collude with the Qi King to harm the Human Emperor.
Outside the chambers of the Human Emperor's chambers, everyone was quietly waiting. The Empress glanced at Ye Lingshuang as she smiled, "Lingshuang, this junior brother of yours is an extraordinary character."
"Mhm, he is indeed extraordinary." Ye Lingshuang nodded. She carefully thought about everything regarding Qin Wentian. Indeed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Qin Wentian was extraordinary. Just the fact that an elder of the Battle Sword Sect, as well as her senior brother Lin Shuai, had personally entered the sect from Xuan King City and comprehended fourteen sword strikes at the same time was sufficient to cause people to feel that something was amiss.
"Not only that, being able to cause a girl like the Holy Maiden to fall head over heels for him, this fellow is truly amazing when it comes to picking up girls." The Empress laughed.
Ye Lingshuang's lips moved closer to the Empress's ears as she whispered, causing the Empress's eyes to brighten. "This fellow is truly capable, to think that he still has a mistress in the Battle Sword Sect. Not only that, she's also a peerless beauty, much better compared to your royal father."
Mother and daughter chatted idly, time flowed by unknowingly, yet there was still no movement from within.
"Why did the Holy Maiden take so long to enter?" A prince asked.
"The Holy Maiden naturally has her own plans, we just need to wait quietly." The Empress unhappily glanced at the princes. If they were so impatient, how would they be able to accomplish great things? No wonder she, the descendant of the Human Emperor, was bullied by the various kings. The descendants of the Human Emperor were truly lacking in talent, they were even inferior to Ye Lingshuang.
Time slowly flowed by, even the Empress herself was getting impatient. But when she thought of the Holy Maiden's words, she calmed herself down. Those from the Medicine Sovereign Valley also sensed that something was amiss. If it was just a simple medicinal pill, why would it take so long?
"Okay, you can enter now."
At this moment, Mo Qingcheng's voice drifted over. Everyone shook their heads with bitter smiles on their faces, silently musing that they were thinking too much. The Holy Maiden was treating the Human Emperor's injuries, what other matters could there be? Even they were thinking this way, how could the guards outside be suspicious?
The Human Emperor was still quietly lying there, just like before. Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng exchanged glances as they smiled. After which, he spoke, "Empress, we will take our leave first."
"Does the Holy Maiden want to have a meal together?" The Empress asked.
"There's no need." Mo Qingcheng shook her head, following behind Qin Wentian as they departed.
"Junior Brother Qin, my fellow disciples from the Battle Sword Sect have gone to the Ye Country for a stroll. If you have time, you can bring the Holy Maiden there to relax." Ye Lingshuang smiled at Qin Wentian.
"Okay." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded his head. The two of them slowly departed. Nobody knew what happened in the Human Emperor's chambers earlier. Although the Human Emperor had a peaceful smile on his face, his heart was filled with shock. Even now, he still had no way to calm down.
These two fellows really have guts and boldness.
As he thought of this, a smile appeared on the face of the Human Emperor. How good would it be if he had a pair of children like them? Sadly, although his daughter wasn't too bad, his sons weren't able to live up to expectations. Without him, there was no way he could dominate this vast ancient country.
For the next few days, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng went in and out together, like shadows following the body. Every day, they would go to the Human Emperor's chambers to take a look, staying for an hour before leaving again. The relationship between them grew closer and closer.
This was especially so for the relationship between the Human Emperor, Qin Wentian, and Mo Qingcheng. Their relationship caused the other princes to feel jealousy.
Today, in the Human Emperor's chambers, the Human Emperor was still lying on his bed, staring at Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng as he smiled, "Wentian, I have a request. I wish to accept you as my foster son. Are you willing?"
Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened. Evidently, he was taken aback. He didn't expect the Human Emperor to have such a thought.
However, given the Human Emperor's status, it was true that he was favoring Qin Wentian. Although Qin Wentian understood how much the Human Emperor valued him, the fact that he wanted to accept him as his foster son was purely because their personalities were compatible.
"If you are unwilling, feel free to reject me directly. I won't put it in my heart." The Human Emperor laughed. Mo Qingcheng was the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. Their statuses were different, and it wasn't easy for the Human Emperor to accept her as his foster daughter. But if Qin Wentian agreed to be his foster son, Mo Qingcheng would be like a daughter to him.
"How would Wentian dare to reject the Human Emperor's kindness?" Qin Wentian recalled how he was an orphan since he was young, and was raised by Uncle Black and his foster father Qin Chuan. After roaming the world for so many years, how could he not feel fatigued? Sometimes, he wanted to return to the Sky Harmony City of Chu to take a look, but he knew that he couldn't afford to relax for even a moment.
"However, the Wentian Plains has a foster father named Qin Chuan. In the future when I meet him, I still have to report this matter to foster father Qin Chuan and seek his approval." Qin Wentian spoke.
"That's only natural." The Human Emperor nodded and smiled. The gaze he used to look at the two of them grew gentler and gentler. The Empress also smiled as she stared at the two children. Her eyes shone with a motherly light as she smiled, "Children, isn't it about time for you to change the way you address me?"
"Wentian pays his respects to foster father and foster mother." Qin Wentian bowed to the Human Emperor and the Empress. Momentarily, everyone in the chamber laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely warm and harmonious.
"Junior Brother, I shall change the way I address you in the future and call you little brother." Ye Lingshuang giggled, thinking back to how she had called Qin Wentian a lecherous fellow not long ago in the Battle Sword Sect. She couldn't help but feel a burst of laughter. The world was always so mysterious, who would have thought that she and Qin Wentian would become siblings.
"Sister Lingshuang." Qin Wentian awkwardly called out. Ye Lingshuang glanced at Qin Wentian before glancing at the Human Emperor. Her eyes started to turn moist again, most probably thinking about the injuries of the Human Emperor, and how long he would be able to last.
Even now, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng still didn't reveal any information to the others. It wasn't that they didn't trust them, but rather, if this matter were to be leaked out, although they wouldn't tell others, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes in their actions. After all, it would take a long time for the Human Emperor to fully recover.
Qin Wentian also thought of Qin Chuan and his sis Qin Yao. He decided that after he broke through to Celestial Phenomenon, he would return to Grand Xia and settle the matters there before returning to Chu to visit his foster father and sis Qin Yao.
His foster father Qin Chuan had shown him kindness as heavy as a mountain. This parting of his had lasted for so many years, he didn't know how Qin Chuan was doing now. Had his sis Qin Yao married again?
"Wentian, I want you to be the Crown Prince of Ye. What do you think?" At this moment, the Human Emperor's voice suddenly rang out in Qin Wentian's ears, causing his countenance to flicker. Staring at the look of anticipation in the Human Emperor's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Most probably, the Human Emperor knew that his sons wouldn't be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. Even if he handed over the Ye Country in the future, they wouldn't be able to become the Emperor of a generation. Without tyrannical strength, they wouldn't be able to dominate the various kings and dukes.
"Foster father, you mustn't. Wentian's ambition doesn't lie here." Qin Wentian knew that the Human Emperor wanted to hand over the Ye Country to him. Most probably, the Human Emperor believed that with his talent, he would be able to contend against the various kings and dukes in the future, ruling over an ancient country. However, this wasn't Qin Wentian's ambition.
The Human Emperor nodded his head lightly and didn't say anything more. In fact, he didn't even reveal the slightest hint of abnormality. This conversation was only known by the two of them!
