It was only then that the citizens of the capital heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did the boulder in their hearts disappear. The shops on the streets began to reopen, and the martial law in the capital came to an end. However, all sorts of rumors began to circulate on the streets, and people began to discuss it.
Yuan Hao originally wanted to discuss the path of alchemy with Li Yunxiao, but seeing the dejected look on Li Yunxiao's face, he didn't want to disturb him. After congratulating Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han, he left with his group and returned to the Fire Crow Empire's Alchemist Association.
Following this, the entire capital became lively. Every family began to decorate themselves in preparation for the celebration in three days.
Some were happy, while others were sad. Those who had stood on the wrong side all had worried faces. They tried to use their connections to climb onto Qin Yue's ship, but they were all rejected. Immediately, they felt like a disaster was about to befall them, and they could not sleep or eat.
As for the Li Clan, they had undoubtedly become the greatest contributors. A large number of people wanted to curry favor with them, but they were all stopped by the Li Clan's guards at least a hundred meters away, and no one was allowed to enter.
At this moment, in the palace hall, Qin Yue had already changed into the five-clawed dragon robe. She paced back and forth on the throne, continuously sitting down, standing up, and sitting down again. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
White-eyed Ghostly Lord finally took off the veil on her face. There were only the two of them in the palace, so there was no need to be so cautious. She smiled happily, "After so many years, Your Highness Moon's dream has finally been achieved."
Qin Yue sighed and said softly, "White-eyed Ghostly Lord has contributed the most by my side. It's been hard on you all these years. "
White-eyed Ghostly Lord blushed slightly and said shyly, "You're wrong. The one who contributed the most is Young Master Yun."
Qin Yue's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes flashed as she said in a low voice, "White-eyed Ghostly Lord, how should I reward Li Yunxiao? A king with a different surname? In that case, which territories should we cede to him as fiefs? "
White-eyed Ghostly Lord's smile froze, and he nodded slightly, "Does Your Highness have any misgivings?"
Qin Yue stood up worriedly and paced around the hall, "Li Yunxiao's strength is mysterious and unfathomable. Furthermore, he has two Rank 4 Alchemists and two Martial Kings supporting him. He also has an army of a million, and the generals are all by his side. If the Tianshui Nation were to be conferred with a different surname, would the Tianshui Nation be surnamed Qin or Li? "
White-eye was frightened by his cold voice, he asked in shock: "Your Highness, could it be that you want to get rid of Li Yunxiao?"
Qin Yue glanced at her and smiled bitterly. "I do have this thought, but I don't have the strength nor the courage!"
White-eye was startled and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you must not speak carelessly. If others find out …"
Qin Yue interrupted her with a smile, "There's only the two of us here. I'm only saying this to you. The last time you divined for me, you said that I would meet a benefactor who would help me in my coronation ceremony, and it turned out to be true. Now, can you read Li Yunxiao's fortune again and see if he will be a threat to me in the future? "
White-eye's heart warmed. Qin Yue was only telling her about such a serious matter, and she immediately felt a sweetness in her heart. She smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll read it once."
Divination was a secret technique that was extremely damaging to one's vitality. Some of the more profound calculations could even harm one's lifespan. White-eye also knew that she couldn't read too much, but for the person she loved, so what?
She took out an ancient-looking tortoise shell from her ring and placed it on the ground. Biting her finger, she carved a strange array around the shell, then took out a few golden coins and placed them around the shell. After doing all this, she suddenly slammed her palm down. Suddenly, rays of golden light rose from the spell formation around the tortoise shell. The four golden copper coins shook and began to revolve around the tortoise shell.
Qin Yue's eyes narrowed as he watched silently from the side. The golden light shone on his face, making him look uncertain.
White-eye's pupils started to turn golden, as if forming some kind of connection with the tortoise shell. The patterns on the tortoise shell seemed to be activated, and ancient characters that were hard to read started to jump out and appear in the air.
After the third character jumped out, it didn't dissipate. The air above the tortoise shell seemed to be affected by some kind of power, and it started to tremble. White-eye's face instantly turned as white as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down her face.
"White-eye, what's wrong?" Qin Yue was shocked. He had seen her perform divination before, but there had never been such a sign.
"Pfff! ~"
White-eye finally couldn't take it anymore, and she spat out a mouthful of golden blood as she fell backwards. The golden light on the tortoise shell instantly disappeared, and the four coins fell to the ground, losing all their luster.
"White-eye!"
Qin Yue hurried over to help her up, and asked in shock, "What happened?"
White-eye's face regained some color, but her eyes were filled with fear as she said with a trembling voice, "I can't see, I can't see anything at all. And there's a voice in my heart telling me that if I continue to look, I will definitely die. "
Qin Yue was shocked, and she hurriedly rubbed White-eye in her arms, and said with heartache, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! We won't perform divination anymore! "
The fear in White-eye's eyes didn't dissipate, and she said fearfully, "I once heard Master say that some people's fate souls are formed from the stars in the sky. Unless one is proficient in the Heavenly Cycle Star Technique, even if their lifespan is exhausted, they won't be able to see through it. Could it be that this Li Yunxiao is the mandate of heaven?! "
Qin Yue was also shocked. Normally, the so-called mandate of heaven referred to the authority of the emperor, and only the emperor could claim to be the mandate of heaven. But this was all used to fool the people, and even the emperor himself didn't believe it. Could it be that there really was a so-called "mandate of heaven" in this world?
Suddenly, a soft voice came from the back of the throne room, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about."
"Who?!"
Qin Yue and White-eye's expressions changed at the same time. Their conversation was top secret, and they didn't expect someone to be eavesdropping! If Li Yunxiao found out, the consequences would be unthinkable!
Zhang Qingfan pushed Qin Zheng, who was in a wheelchair, out. Qin Zheng's face was as warm as jade, and it was full of color, as if he had suddenly become several decades younger.
"Father? You … "Qin Yue was stunned, and she said in shock," Your body? "
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly, "Don't be shocked, I don't have much longer to live. I only had Qingfan give me some stimulant medicine, so that I can have some vigor in my final moments. "
Qin Yue was shocked, "Why did you do that?"
Qin Zheng sighed, "I feel dizzy every time, and I've already forgotten many things. I want to teach you some things at the end. " He glanced at White-eye indifferently and sighed, "For example, this time, you two were too careless with your words."
Qin Yue and White-eye's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Zhang Qingfan's cold expression with unease. Everyone knew about Zhang Qingfan's reverence for Li Yunxiao.
Zhang Qingfan immediately knew what they were thinking, and he immediately sneered, "You don't have to worry, I won't tell Young Master Yun. Even if I did tell him, I'm sure he'll just laugh it off. " His expression gradually turned cold, and he said coldly, "But I advise you two, don't even think about dealing with Young Master Yun in the future. Don't even think about this kind of dangerous idea, or else there will be endless disasters! "
"Yes!" Qin Yue lowered his head and replied softly.
Qin Zheng glanced at him, and he smiled, "I know you must be unconvinced, but what Qingfan said is absolutely right. You can deal with anyone in the Aquasky Nation, and you can kill them all, but you must never provoke the Li family! Li Yunxiao is only fifteen years old, and he has already become a three-star Martial Master. What's even more terrifying is that he is a third-grade alchemist. Not to mention that no one has achieved this in the past thousands of years, it's simply unheard of. This kind of person will not stay in a small place like the Aquasky Nation. The vast sky is where he should go. "
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Thank you for your guidance, Royal Father. Then I will bestow him the title of Heterosexual King during the coronation ceremony tomorrow. Which land should I bestow upon him?"
Qin Zheng pondered for a moment, and then he solemnly said, "Anywhere. Try to pick the most fertile land."
"Anywhere?" Qin Yue was shocked, and he was filled with confusion.
Zhang Qingfan couldn't help but shake his head, and he said, "Your Highness Moon, don't you think that Young Master Yun's increasing strength is a good thing? When he becomes a fourth-grade alchemist, whether it is him or the entire Li family, will they still be interested in things like royal power and fiefdoms? I believe that after Your Highness Moon ascends the throne, the Li family will gradually fade away from the Aquasky Nation's court. "
Qin Zheng solemnly said, "Qingfan is right. Watching the flowers bloom and wilt in front of the court, and watching the changes of the wind and clouds with a pot of muddy wine. This is the path that experts like them pursue. Since ancient times, there is no exception! Sigh, it's a pity that I didn't understand all of this back then, which caused Yang Di to leave in anger, and caused the Aquasky Nation to lose its greatest opportunity. "
Zhang Qingfan continued, "Your Highness Moon, just think about the Heavenly Gathering Sect's position, and you will understand. The Heavenly Gathering Sect was originally just a family in the Fire Crow Empire. Now, it has faded away from the court, and has become a true power in the Tianwu Continent. It is also a super existence that we mortals look up to. "
"So that's how it is!" Qin Yue suddenly understood, and the knot in her heart was instantly untied. She hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Father and Master Zhang!"
Qin Zheng sighed, "You are still young, and there are many things that you still need to learn. It's laughable that I have been blinded by the royal power all these years, which caused you brothers to fight each other. I don't have much time to teach you now. Qingfan, Commander Bai, you can leave first. I would like to speak with Yue 'er alone. "
Zhang Qingfan sighed, and he glanced at his old friend for many years before leaving with White-eye. Only the father and son were left.
Several hours later, Qin Yue finally walked out of the main hall. Her face was filled with grief, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Zhang Qingfan's face was filled with desolation, and he lightly sighed.
White-eye was shocked, "His Majesty, he …"
Qin Yue let out a long sigh, and she looked up at the sky, and said, "Father has passed away!"
