Chapter 49: How Should We Reward This?

“Your Majesty, this is the oral account of Zhu Cici, daughter of Yunyi Hou from Qi Kingdom, and her maidservant Xiaoye.”

The day after the Xuanwu Street assassination incident, in the Imperial Study, Wei handed over a white sheet filled with text.

Emperor Wu unfolded it and looked. As he read, his eyes were full of surprise.

“This Xu Ming has truly given your Emperor another pleasant surprise.” Emperor Wu took a deep breath.

According to Zhu Cici and her maidservant’s description, what Emperor Wu had sent was basically sufficient.

Although it was done by the Southern Demon Realm, the people did die in the Wu Kingdom, and they were a once-in-a-millennium literary genius. Without giving Qi Kingdom an explanation, it would definitely not pass.

So after Xu Ming was examined by a doctor, it couldn’t be hidden anymore.

Lady Zhu was writing a letter in the room, telling her husband about yesterday’s events, while Xiaoye stood before Lady Zhu.

With the apprentice now so accomplished, she herself felt somewhat honored.

Not long after, some people came from the palace again, Emperor Wu sent some medicinal herbs for body tempering.

Ladies Qin and Wang also came; there was no need to say why.

Xu Ming had already awakened in the morning.

At that time within the barrier, the three dead dogs raised by the Houdou, two had restrained the maidservants, while the other one bit towards Zhu Cici.

“Madam, there is something I wish to tell you.” Xiaoye bowed.

This was very useful for Xu Ming.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The old lady of the Xu mansion and Xu Ming’s stepfather also came.

If they knew Xu Ming was at the fourth level of a Qi practitioner, one wonders how they would react.

Though not considered a supreme genius, his talent was certainly extraordinary.

There might even be conspiracy theories claiming the Wu Kingdom intentionally colluded with the Myriad Demon Realm of the Southern Frontier just to kill Zhu Cici.

Both the old lady and Xu Zheng highly praised Xu Ming.

“Never mind, never mind.” Emperor Wu gave up thinking and muttered to himself, “Why am I troubling myself with this question? Xu Ming’s performance will surely be known by those guys, isn’t this just another excuse for their reform faction?”

However, Lady Zhu thanked him from a mother’s perspective, while Old Master Fang thanked him from Qi Kingdom’s standpoint.

It included Old Master Jingchun of Qi Kingdom’s envoy group, Zhu Cici’s mother, Zhu Cici, and the maidservant Xiaoye.

Wu Kingdom not only lost a poetic talent, but if Zhu Cici dies, it would create more problems.

Compared to the astonishment of others, Lady Wang placed her hands on her hips, lifted her neck, and was inwardly very pleased.

“How should we reward this?”

“Xiaoye, what’s wrong? Why do you look distracted? I’ve already said, yesterday’s incident wasn’t your fault.” Lady Zhu said to the maidservant.

In the Imperial Study, there was only Emperor Wu, looking at the name on the white paper, his gaze was very complicated.

“Xu Ming fainted due to exhaustion, right?” Emperor Wu asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Wei nodded, “According to the Xu mansion, a doctor has already been consulted, and there’s no major issue. He should have woken up this morning.”

Fortunately, unless it’s a healer cultivator, it’s impossible to diagnose the Qi practitioner realm.

Xu Ming was indeed very sleepy and quickly fell asleep.

But because of Xu Ming’s identity, this achievement is hard to reward.

For Lady Wang, Xu Ming could be considered half a disciple.

“Yes.” Wei hurriedly retreated.

“Wei.” Emperor Wu looked up.

“Wait.” Suddenly, an idea popped into Emperor Wu’s mind, “If we let Xu Ming become Prince Consort of Hanhan…”

Inside the Xiao Chun Courtyard of the Xu Mansion.

Because doctors can determine a martial artist’s realm based on the flow of true qi in the human body.

When Xu Ming woke up, there was a crowd around his bedside.

For the Wu Kingdom to produce such a talented individual skilled in both literature and martial arts, Emperor Wu naturally felt delighted.

But Xu Ming merely smiled politely on the surface, treating all their praises as idle talk.

As for Xu Ming’s realm, Lady Wang knew it best, since Xu Ming often sought guidance from her.

Regarding the Xu Mansion,

Upon learning that Xu Ming was a cultivator at the Mercury Mirror stage, except for Lady Wang, everyone looked at Xu Ming with disbelief.

Xiaoye organized her words: “Yesterday when the Wu Kingdom officials questioned me about what exactly happened, I deliberately downplayed the strength of the three dogs, simply saying that Xu Ming fought them to death barehanded.

Just when Zhu Cici was certain to die, Xu Ming killed one with a flurry of punches.

This resolved the situation.

That was their honest statement.

“I’m here,” Wei hastily knelt down.

This favor was too heavy.

Lady Zhu and her daughter returned to the Sifang Pavilion.

At that moment, Xu Ming’s rescue of the young miss was absolutely not something a simple Mercury Mirror stage cultivator could achieve.

Emperor Wu rubbed his eyes.

Because Xu Ming was still somewhat weak and needed a quiet resting environment.

Regarding this old lady and his stepfather, Xu Ming didn’t really have any good feelings towards them.

“Xu Ming…”

In the end, driven away by the doctor, everyone left one after another, leaving only Suyan to care for her son.

“No, no.” Emperor Wu shook his head and quickly dismissed the thought, “Too rushed, too rushed. At least not now.”

The Wu Kingdom would be unable to clear its name.

Old Master Fang and Lady Zhu continuously expressed gratitude to Xu Ming, stating that Qi Kingdom would remember this favor.

Qi Kingdom hadn’t seen such a natural-born literary genius in a thousand years!

If anything went wrong, how would they explain it to the emperor upon returning? How would they explain it to the common people of Qi Kingdom?

But Xu Ming’s strength must far exceed the ordinary Mercury Mirror stage. I even saw him use the Fireball Technique; his cultivation must be at least at the Bright Mind stage.”

“If only your Emperor could have such a fine son, those fellows in the imperial court wouldn’t keep bothering me like this.” The Emperor, who only had one daughter, sighed.

An eight-year-old at the Mercury Mirror stage.

Previously, Xu Ming was still thinking about getting some body-tempering materials from Lady Wang.

Lady Zhu: “What is it?”

In short, this time Xu Ming achieved a greater merit than at the banquet.

If Zhu Cici had died, Xu Ming would definitely not survive either.

One would think Xiaoye doubted whether Xu Ming wasn’t a human but perhaps the offspring of one of the ten ancient ferocious beasts.

And beside her, Xiaoye’s expression was even more complex, as if wanting to say something but holding back.

“Hmm.” The Emperor nodded, “Isn’t Xu Ming practicing martial arts? Have someone deliver some body-tempering medicinal herbs.”

Lady Zhu frowned slightly, “What do you want to say?”

Xiaoye bowed, “Xu Ming excels in both literature and martial arts, cultivating both physical techniques and internal methods, with limitless potential. Qi Kingdom must strive for him.”

(Immortal Cultivation+Meeting a Perfect Match+Shura Field+Invincible Flow+Upgrade Flow+Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger) — What is cultivation? When I think back to the past, cultivation was, as a baby, kicking my legs over and over again—kicking on the bed, kicking on the ground, kicking every single day. Cultivation was, as I grew older, swinging my sword again and again—slashing here, cutting there. Cultivation became, as I matured, the repeated harmony of yin and yang—busy tonight, and busy again tomorrow night. … My name is Xu Ming. I have never cared about the stipends given to me by those sect masters, noble ladies, or princesses. I said to her, “Can you give me a room closer to yours? I need to report my work to you at any moment.” Even if I accomplish nothing every day, I just want to watch how she cultivates. I…
