When Shen Yi heard this, he turned to look at Clove.
It had to be said that there was a difference between having a physical body and not having one. Although this "physical body" was essentially a manifestation of spiritual power, Shen Yi could clearly feel her existence and her emotions.
Another change brought about by the seven years was that Shen Yi was getting more and more used to having Clove by his side.
When he turned his head, he could see her flawless face.
"Do you mean that you want to take something away?" Shen Yi's lips curled up. "For example, that Wu Zhao that you're raising as a daughter?"
"I'm not raising her as a daughter." Clove looked a little helpless. "I just want to try and see if there's any difference in the people we've raised … The association wants to expand and recruit people. If we can train them ourselves, it seems that it'll be much easier than recruiting people from other worlds."
In other words, it was an experiment.
Since six years ago, Clove often used spells to enter Wu Zetian's dreams and carefully taught her. He even changed her name to Wu Zhao.
Wu, the meaning of the sun and moon in the sky.
In the history of other worlds, this name was created by Wu Zetian after she became the Empress.
However, in this world, it was Clove who gave her this name.
When Wu Zhao, who was only seven years old, stood up and said that she wanted to create such a name for herself, everyone was shocked. However, in the end, not only did Li Shimin agree, he even conferred her the title of Princess Ming. After all, the token in her hand was protected by the Immortal Lord.
Shen Yi naturally knew about this, but he could guess Clove's intentions, so he didn't say anything.
Now, Shen Yi couldn't help but be curious.
"From what you're saying, you think that this person that you've personally raised is qualified to join the association?" Although Shen Yi knew that Clove had been taking time to raise and educate this little girl who had the potential to become an Empress, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Isn't it up to you to decide whether I'm qualified or not?" Clove's lips curled into a smile.
Seeing how confident she was, Shen Yi simply turned his head and looked down.
The current Wu Jiong was already a student of the Immortal Bestow Academy.
The little girl who held the wooden tablet tightly in front of the evil spirit was now thirteen years old. In a typical modern society, she would only be a little girl in the first or second year of middle school. However, in this era, many girls of this age had already been married off.
Therefore, although Wu Jiong's appearance was young and tender, she was like a lotus bud waiting to bloom, revealing a temperament that was different from others.
At this moment, she had no idea that the Immortal Monarch was looking at her. She was just participating in a special social practice with a group of classmates. Her light green dress made her stand out among the crowd.
"This is the Lu Village." An old man who looked like a teacher stood in front of the crowd and pointed to the village behind him. "You all know the situation. The Lu Village has a total of 1,443 people and can be considered a medium-sized village. However, ever since the Immortal Monarch conferred the title of Ghost God, a total of 28 people in this village have turned into evil spirits, far surpassing other villages with the same number of people. Half a month ago, a Ghost General level evil spirit was born. What you all need to do is to find out the reason and come up with a solution."
When Shen Yi heard this proposition, he felt that it was interesting.
It could be considered a characteristic of this world.
The birth of ghosts was related to the concentration of Yin energy, as well as the unwillingness and resentment of people before they died. There was obviously a reason why so many ghosts had turned into evil spirits in this village.
At this moment.
This group of young men and women who looked to be in their teens weren't afraid at all when faced with the topic of evil spirits.
Instead, they were eager to give it a try.
Fear came from the unknown and uneasiness. But now, they didn't know anything about ghosts, nor were they uneasy. After all, several Ghost Controllers had come with them. All that was left was excitement.
"Before you go in, you can make some conjectures," the teacher said again.
"I'll go first."
A chubby boy with a round face stepped forward. His small eyes involuntarily drifted toward Wu Jiong. The boy's thoughts were clear.
"The birth of evil spirits stems from resentment. I think that there must be people in this village who have done evil. Therefore, many people have died unjustly."
Although his face was full of confidence, as soon as he finished speaking, another person immediately stood out. It was a handsome young man.
"Qingque, you're wrong." The boy directly addressed Qingque. "First, ever since the Immortal Monarch came to the world, everyone knows that if people die unjustly, they will turn into evil spirits to seek revenge. There are already people who dare to kill people so easily. Second, the Tang Empire has always been strict in investigating people who have done evil. If there is nothing wrong, we may not find out. But if evil spirits are born, we must find out the reason. How could people commit evil for so many years without finding out?"
After hearing this, the teacher nodded to himself.
As expected of the Crown Prince.
Yes, the one who had replied was Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chengqian.
And his words were in line with the current situation of the Great Tang.
Ever since the Immortal Monarch came to the world, the Great Tang had undergone a heaven-shaking change in the past seven years. The people had long since learned of the existence of ghosts and had even gotten used to living with ghosts.
Putting aside how many people would still commit crimes in this type of situation without fear of the wraiths' revenge, just the Ghost Driving Department and the Day Roaming God in charge of monitoring and recording wouldn't allow this type of person to continue committing crimes after so many wraiths had appeared.
Thus, the chubby boy, Second Prince Li Tai's answer, should be the first to be rejected.
At this moment, Li Tai's face had already turned red.
When he saw Li Chengqian standing next to Wu Jiong, he became even angrier.
He simply said, "You only said that I was wrong, but you didn't guess why such a situation would occur."
"This …" Li Chengqian's confident smile froze for a moment.
He truly did not know what the reason was.
This practical exercise was a very important test for them. The princes and princesses, and even the sons of officials, as well as the most outstanding students of their batch, were all participating.
They would be graded according to their performance.
If they stood out to refute others, but did not have their own answer, then their score would not be very high.
Li Chengqian immediately regretted standing out. He just could not stand Li Tai's impatient appearance.
"Haha, you don't know either." Li Tai sneered a few times. Just as he was about to say something …
Wu Jiong suddenly spoke.
"Enough, you two brothers quarrel the moment you see each other." Wu Jiong's words to the two princes were not polite at all, but his tone was extremely pleasing to the ear, and even carried a feeling of intimacy, making it difficult for one to get angry.
