Chu Li smiled as he looked at her.
Her face was crystal clear as if it was carved out of white jade. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as if they could see through one's heart. She looked at him in shock, "I am …?"
Chu Li smiled, "Congratulations, Second Elder Sister. You've become a top-notch master."
He dared not transfer all of his inner energy over as his body would not be able to withstand it. However, one-tenth of his cultivation level was already top-notch in this world. It was even close to the limit of ascension.
"It's amazing …" Siao Shi sighed softly.
She could feel that her five senses had broken through their original limits, and her voice had become meticulous. Wherever she looked, she could even see the grain of the plants, as well as every small depression and bulge. Everything in the world had become clear, and she was moved by what she saw.
Chu Li smiled, "Remember this feeling. You'll get numb after a while."
Siao Shi asked, "What's the standard of my cultivation level now?"
Chu Li pondered, "If you're careful, no one can threaten your safety. However, you must not be careless. No one can be invincible. No matter how strong your martial arts is, you'll still be defeated."
"I understand. You can easily create a master?" Siao Shi waved her hand.
Chu Li said, "I'll only pass it to you. You have to let go of your body and mind. You have to believe it with all your heart and not doubt it."
"… Alright." Siao Shi nodded helplessly. "I didn't know there's such a restriction."
She was slightly disappointed.
Chu Li smiled, "Second Elder Sister, who else do you want me to pass it to?"
"I found a successor." Siao Shi said.
Chu Li was surprised, "You found a successor?"
He was worried about Siao Shi. What kind of successor should she find? Leng family or Xiao family?
Logically speaking, the Leng family was the legitimate heir. However, the current situation was that she was the empress. No one dared to talk about returning power to the Leng family. The Twelve Public Houses were the legitimate heirs of the Great Ji Dynasty.
If this continued, after a few decades, the old courtiers would retire and there would be no courtiers loyal to the Leng family. The Great Ji Dynasty would become the Great Ji Dynasty of the Xiao family.
Even if there were some loyal people who were willing to take the risk to launch a coup, it would still be impossible for them to succeed. The other countries had also tacitly agreed to the Xiao Family inheriting the Ji Dynasty. This was due to Chu Li's remaining influence and the existence of Goddess Attraction Mountain.
The Immortal Attraction Mountain had been destroyed in the Realm Beyond Heaven, and they had fled to this world in a sorry state. However, the people of this world did not know the situation. The Immortal Attraction Mountain was still the number one sect in the world, and no one could stop them.
Moreover, Chu Li's reputation in the Outland was growing, and his power was flourishing day by day. Sun Mingyue was the Surpassing Light Realm's Boundary Master, and Lu Yurong was the Asura Goddess, which further boosted his prestige. No Celestial dared to provoke him, and the revival of Goddess Attraction Mountain was inevitable.
Xiao Shi said, "The son of Leng Shoushi, Leng Tingjian."
"Leng Shoushi …?" Chu Li was silent.
He had a good relationship with Leng Shoushi, they could be considered fair-weather friends. He had been to the New Moon Brothel a few times, but he did not expect Siao Shi to choose Leng Shoushi's son.
Leng Shoushi loved to enjoy life, he did not have much ambition, but when his son became the Crown Prince and inherited the throne in the future, he would be the Retired Emperor. No matter how much he loved to enjoy life, he would inevitably have some ambition, right?
"The little fella has been brought to the Palace." Siao Shi sighed, "He's ten years old, I want to keep him by my side and teach him well, so that he won't ruin the Great Ji Dynasty in the future."
Chu Li said, "… That's good too."
He trusted Siao Shi's political wisdom, there was no need to worry.
"Clap clap!" Two crisp sounds were heard.
A palace maid from outside the Imperial Garden came in quietly and bowed in greeting.
"Let Su Ru bring the Crown Prince here," Siao Shi said.
"Yes." The maid left quietly.
After a while, Su Ru came in wearing an apricot yellow gown. Beside her was a child who reached her waist. The boy looked like he was carved out of jade, his eyes were clear and full of life, his lips were tightly pursed, and he called out in a clear and obedient voice, "Your Majesty!"
When Su Ru saw Chu Li, her eyes widened.
Chu Li smiled, "Long time no see, Miss Su."
"I didn't expect you to come back, Head Chief." Su Ru pursed her lips and smiled, "Head Chief, you should come back more often. The Emperor is the only one in such a big Imperial Palace, it's too lonely."
Chu Li nodded lightly.
Siao Shi rolled her eyes and said, "You talk too much!"
She extended her hand, and the child came forward and jumped into her arms.
Siao Shi patted the child's head and smiled, "Let's meet the Head Chief."
"Greetings, Head Chief," Leng Tingjian looked at Chu Li curiously.
He had heard many legends about the Head Chief. At this moment, he saw Chu Li sitting there normally. He also had one head, two hands, and two legs. He was not as evil as others said, he did not have three heads and six arms.
Chu Li smiled, "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is a little disappointed."
"I wouldn't dare," Leng Tingjian was shocked.
Chu Li nodded and looked at Siao Shi, "His Highness the Crown Prince is also a person who learns early. Second sister, your eyes are really sharp and accurate."
"This little guy has been hiding his incompetence, but he can't escape my eyes," Siao Shi scoffed, "From your point of view, can he take on such a big responsibility?"
Chu Li looked at Leng Tingjian from head to toe, and squinted his eyes.
Leng Tingjian only felt that the bottom of his heart was exposed in his eyes, and there was nowhere to hide. He was instantly shocked, and wanted to hide and not look at him.
Chu Li nodded slowly, and smiled thoughtfully, "Second sister, don't treat him like a child. He is mature and knowledgeable. He is already in his twenties, and can be considered a genius."
Although this Leng Tingjian was not reincarnated, and did not have the memories of his past life, but his wisdom was developed at an early age, and he was sensible at an early age. In the words of the future, he had a high IQ, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At ten years old, he already knew more than a thirty year old.
Siao Shi smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Chu Li said, "Second sister found an impressive Crown Prince."
"Just being smart is not enough, he needs to be tempered." Siao Shi shook her head, "How can one become successful without going through setbacks? Back then, we went through so many hardships, so many desperate situations."
Chu Li nodded slowly, the past floated in his mind, and his heart warmed.
Both of them were sharp and connected, and could understand each other's thoughts with just a look. Unfortunately, they were now separated by two worlds, and even three worlds apart.
"When are you going to ascend?" Chu Li asked.
"No rush," Siao Shi shook her head.
Chu Li sighed, and did not try to persuade her anymore.
He suddenly raised his voice, "Fa Yuan, since you're here, why don't you show yourself?"
"Brother Chu!" Fa Yuan's grey frock fluttered, and he walked under the moonlight, and landed in front of Chu Li.
"Hmph, Great Master Fa Yuan's cultivation level has improved again, the formation can't stop him!" Siao Shi sneered.
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together, and a smile appeared on his calm face, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. Brother Chu, how have you been?"
Chu Li smiled, "Monk, are you going to ascend?"
He could see that Fa Yuan's inner energy was turbulent, but it was completely restrained, and became one with heaven and earth. He was already half a step into the realm of ascension.
"It's not easy for a little monk to ascend," Fa Yuan shook his head and looked at Siao Shi.
Siao Shi suddenly gained power, and tried to restrain it. Ordinary people could not see it, but it could not hide it from Fa Yuan.
His cultivation level was already in the first realm, but now he was in the second realm, and was blocked again.
Siao Shi said coldly, "If you want to ascend, no one will stop you."
Fa Yuan smiled without saying a word, and looked at Chu Li.
