If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1084 The visitor is evil

The Kings of Ying were deeply moved by Grand Tutor Yu's words, but also quite disgusted by them.

Especially the main characters who "carried out the legacy of six generations".

Grand Tutor Yu's sincerity moved them.

We can once again build upon the legacy of six generations. Grand Tutor Yu, do you know how arduous and difficult it was to accumulate the legacy of six generations?
We are able to persevere because we plan to work hard in this life and accumulate merit for six generations, so that everyone can enjoy happiness for eternity in the future.

After six generations of hard work, and only just after the first reign of Qin Shi Huang, the Qin Dynasty is about to fall, and the good days are over.

My spirit is completely exhausted, and my heart is almost cold. How can I possibly rekindle the legacy of six generations?

Ying Dang immediately exclaimed, "Grand Tutor Yu, you have carried on the legacy of six generations of your family. It sounds exhilarating and glorious."

As someone who has been through it all, I can tell you frankly that the hardships and blood I have shed to build up a legacy for future generations are beyond description.

"To carry on the legacy of six generations"—these simple words are easy to utter.

But to truly achieve this, it would require generations of perseverance, far more difficult than simply preserving the Mandate of Heaven for the Qin Dynasty at this moment.

—You short-lived wretch, you didn't live more than a few years, what suffering did you endure, how much blood did you bleed?

Oh, you broke your leg while lifting the cauldron, bleeding profusely and dying from the pain.

But what does the blood you shed have to do with the legacy of six generations of heroes?
You're just a "couch potato" who gets rich quick!
Xiao Yu thought to herself, but she understood the key point of Ying Dang's words. It wasn't about how much suffering he had endured, but rather that the former king of Qin believed it was easier to maintain the current Qin dynasty than to rebuild upon the legacy of six generations.

At least for Ying Dang himself, this is the truth.

Because it was she who fought and sacrificed to protect the current Qin Dynasty, while they are all waiting in their graves to be lazy and complacent.

The "lying down and winning" dog only needs to stand by and shout "Go for it!" How easy is that!

"Your Majesty, the only thing I can do now is to safeguard the future of the Ying family outside the court and in terms of fortune."

The Ying clan may have split into two.

Some are unwilling to leave and remain in China, where they may one day be able to nurture the dragon vein again.

Just like the six states of Shandong today.

Another group of officials went west to ensure the continuation of the Ying clan's ancestral temple.

Ying Dang shouted loudly, "Grand Tutor Yu, you are too cowardly, too incompetent! You clearly have the strength to lift a cauldron, and with our support, you could change the world and accomplish something—oh dear~~"

His father, Ying Si, kept giving him meaningful glances, but when he didn't react, he simply raised his foot and kicked his shin hard.

Ying Dang let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground, clutching his broken leg and wailing, "Father, why did you break my leg? It hurts so much, it's killing me!"

Ying Si was stunned for a moment, then looked closely and saw that his son's right leg was broken in two at the patella.

Although there was still a layer of skin and flesh connecting them, the bones were shattered and blood was flowing freely.

"I didn't exert much effort. You used to be strong enough to lift a tripod, so why are you so cowardly and useless now?" Ying Si asked in surprise.

Mi Yue chuckled and said, “Husband, Dang’er is different from us. We either die of old age or die of illness in our beds, but we all have all our limbs.”

Dang'er was crushed to death by the Great Yu Divine Cauldron, his legs were broken.

When a person dies missing limbs, their body remains separated even in the underworld.

The headless ghost cannot find its head, and the lame ghost cannot find its legs.

Although Dang'er was a king among men, he entered a blessed land where a ghost doctor helped him reattach his severed limbs.

But his right patella remains a major, and most vulnerable, area!

"Oh dear, I forgot about that."

Ying Si slapped his forehead, realizing what had happened, and looked both annoyed and embarrassed, glancing awkwardly at Grand Tutor Yu.

"Dang'er, don't blame me. You've been incredibly rude and ignorant! How dare you act so unruly in front of Grand Tutor Yu?"

King Mu of Qin's old face kept twitching, and he forced a smile, saying, "This father and son really have no bearing of a ruler. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Grand Tutor Yu."

Xiao Yu also felt a little embarrassed and said, "The Celestial Master is a minister of the king. Even if the king is disrespectful, it is a family scandal. Your Majesty does not need to apologize."

Moreover, King Wu's words were appropriate and there was nothing improper about them.

As a high-ranking official of the Qin Dynasty, I have a responsibility to fight for every opportunity to reverse the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

However, I have absolutely no control over the current situation in the Xianyang court.

Li Si and Zhao Gao probably still harbor considerable hostility towards me.

If I focus my energy on internal strife, I will only ruin the already precious destiny of the Qin Dynasty, allowing treacherous officials outside to get what they want and make a fool of themselves.

For example, this time when I went back to Xianyang.

I originally had no intention of immediately returning to Xianyang to wade into troubled waters, and even knowing that Empress Dowager Zhao had been killed, I would not come back.

The miraculous effects of adjusting the ley lines of the Nine Provinces have already been witnessed by all the kings.

At this time, less than one-tenth of the land in China had been cleared!
I am not good at court power struggles, and staying in Xianyang to fight among the officials would only be a waste of time and energy.

I am skilled in protecting and maintaining the earth's veins. I focus my energy on sorting out the earth's veins, which not only benefits the entire land but also accumulates good fortune for the Ying clan.

I'm not weak; I'm simply playing to my strengths and avoiding my weaknesses.

Mi Yue pondered for a moment and said, "What Grand Tutor Yu said and what he was worried about is not without reason."

Once the new emperor ascends the throne and the situation in Xianyang stabilizes somewhat, it won't be too late for Grand Tutor Yu to sort out the earth's veins.

At this point, we trust Grand Tutor Yu's judgment. What do you think is most beneficial to Great Qin and the Ying clan? Go ahead and do it.

We may not have much power, but we will support you with all our might.

How far one can go depends on fate; there's no need to force it.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu looked helpless and said truthfully, "I'm taking it one step at a time now."

Previously, he had not considered supporting anyone to become the new emperor, but now he only has doubts about Prince Huhai and Zhao Gao.

I truly hope that Prime Minister Li and Marquis Lieyang can work together in both civil and military affairs to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the monarch and turning the tide in this time of crisis.

One of them was in charge of the government, and the other was away on a military campaign. I was in charge of the Imperial Observatory. How wonderful!

But the reality is, I'm not even sure what their attitude towards me is right now.

King Mu said, "Grand Tutor Yu, please take some time to go to the Temple of Earth and request the bestowal of the title!"

We will hand over all the fortune and power of the Ying clan to you.

Support is not just a word.

True support for Grand Tutor Yu doesn't require verbal promises.

They entrusted their clan's fate and power to her without saying a word or appearing in anyone's dreams.

All the civil and military officials in the court will understand the extent of the support that the former king of Qin had for Grand Tutor Yu.

This is the most practical support.

At this point, not only did Mi Yue express her opinion, but King Mu also made a decision.

Mi Yue then said, "Why not do it tonight? Grand Tutor Yu, go back to the Imperial Observatory to prepare first, and then go to the Temple of Earth in the evening. We guarantee that all the former kings of the Ying clan will respond to your request for investiture."

With the support of all the former kings of the Ying clan, whichever member of the Ying clan becomes the new emperor must honor you as 'Uncle Father,' otherwise it would be considered unfilial and disobedience to their ancestors.

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "There's no need for 'Uncle' (or 'Father-in-law'), I'll just be Grand Tutor."

“Grand Tutor Yu is like a father to us, no problem,” King Mu said. Ying Si looked at Grand Tutor Yu and said in a deep voice, “This matter should be handled sooner rather than later. What is Marquis Lieyang Yu Yu thinking? Does he really want to revitalize the court and reform the corrupt practices, or is he a wolf with great ambitions? We really don’t understand.”

It can be confirmed that some military commanders in the East China Sea Fleet are indeed ambitious, rebellious, and disobedient.

They harbor ambitions to seize power in the court and even covet the heritage of my Ying clan.

For example, the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great.

Li Si and even Hu Hai might tacitly approve of the East Sea Qi Refiners' provocation of you, Grand Tutor Yu.

Now that Grand Tutor Yu has returned to Xianyang, they will probably come knocking on our door soon.

This farce must be stopped before those with ulterior motives try to pull off this 'Grand Tutor Selection'.

Even if "Uncle" cannot be a formal title, the new emperor should still respect you as if you were his uncle.

Xiao Yu said, "I'm afraid it won't work tonight. It's getting late, and I have to go to the Underworld to handle Empress Dowager Zhao's funeral arrangements."

Yangli Daotong is very powerful; six Yama Kings and several ghosts and gods have already triggered the Great Annihilation Father.

Since Yama has triggered the Great Annihilation of Dad, it is clear that the petition has been delivered and the Underworld is prepared to receive her.

She can't just stand me up, can she?

She'll have to behave herself when she goes to the underworld this time.

The underworld's resources were far greater than she had anticipated. Not only was the King of Hell powerful, causing the Purple Mansion's calculations to proceed extremely slowly, but even some judges and ghosts could cause the Purple Mansion to malfunction.

However, there is also good news: while the method of brute force is slow to develop, a sudden attack or sneak attack may have the opportunity to kill one or two Yama Kings.

Yes, the method to annihilate the two Yama Kings who suddenly rise up has been quickly deduced.

Although she didn't think there would be any conflict on her way to the underworld, being confident made her more carefree and natural, without having to be overly cautious, timid, or afraid of this or that.

"Your Majesties, Empress Dowager Zhao has transformed into a vengeful ghost haunted by resentment. What should I do?" she asked, seizing the opportunity.

“Zhao Ji deserves to go to hell. Grand Tutor Yu, you don’t need to pay her any attention,” Ying Ji said.

Mi Yue said, "Even if Grand Tutor Yu is going to the underworld, he shouldn't delay his own affairs."

First, the Earth Seal was invoked, extinguishing the arrogant thoughts of the Qi Refiners of the East Sea.

The Grand Tutor can decide how to deal with Zhao Ji's spirit afterward. If the Grand Tutor finds it troublesome, he can also let the new emperor and the court officials discuss it.

In any case, our ancestors of the Ying clan all despised Zhao Ji and would never allow her to seek refuge in our blessed land.

Not capturing her and suppressing her for ten thousand years is already our greatest mercy.

Wanting more is a pipe dream.

Xiao Yu glanced at the former kings; though they didn't speak, their expressions said it all.

Having ascertained their attitude towards Empress Dowager Zhao, she said, "Thank you for your kindness, Empress Dowager and the princes. I will certainly request the land grant as soon as possible."

However, I cannot rely on your support to resolve the internal troubles of the Imperial Observatory.

If I cannot even handle the provocations of other 'Celestial Masters,' I am not worthy of being the Grand Tutor of Qin.

Ying Qian quickly said, "Grand Tutor Yu, please don't think like that. Your talent in the Celestial Masters sect is obvious to all."

Grand Tutor of Qin, who else but you!
Even if some Qi cultivators surpass you in cultivation and supernatural abilities, they are not qualified to replace you.

You don't need to get angry with them.

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "I thought they were just a bunch of unorthodox and rabble-like people."

Judging from the Grand Tutor's words, there are a few skilled individuals among them who warrant our caution.

Ying Qian said tactfully, "I understand. Grand Tutor Yu is also famous throughout the land for his unparalleled supernatural powers."

However, among the Qi cultivators of the East Sea, there are a few who are quite strange, and I have a very bad feeling about them.

From my observation, even Xu Fu held them in high esteem, though with a hint of apprehension.

They are not from the Xuanmen sect, and their purpose in coming to Xianyang is not small. It would be best for Grand Tutor Yu not to directly engage them in a magical battle.

If we're going to have a contest of magic, let's not compare our spiritual cultivation; let's just fight with the Celestial Master's magic.

Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Fu is back too? That fellow tricked the late emperor, and now he dares to come back?"

Ying Qian said, "Li Si sent him an invitation long ago, and this time he is going to Xianyang with the Marquis of Donghai."

Indeed, some court officials petitioned Empress Dowager Zhao, urging her to punish Xu Fu for deceiving the emperor, but Empress Dowager Zhao reprimanded them instead.

After that, no one spoke of punishing Xu Fu anymore.

"I'd like to meet him and those Qi cultivators from the East Sea!" Xiao Yu thought excitedly.

She immediately rose to take her leave, saying, "Your Majesties, please rest assured, I will absolutely not betray your trust."

The heretical sects and evil cultivators from the East Sea can absolutely not ruin the destiny of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Once I have dealt with this matter, I will go to the Temple of Earth to request the bestowal of the land.

Xiao Yu visited the Muwang Fudi Temple in Yongcheng in the afternoon and returned to the Imperial Observatory in the evening.

Just as Ying Qian had expected, several unfamiliar Qi Refiners were waiting for her in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

The Grand Celestial Masters of the Imperial Observatory, including Guan Zhenren, Yang Li, and Huihe Zhenren, were all present at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Li, why are you back so early? Have you sent out all fifty petitions?"

Xiao Yu ignored the unfamiliar Qi Refiners who were scrutinizing her, and didn't greet the other Celestial Masters. She walked straight to Yang Li's side and angrily questioned him.

The Ten Yama Kings and one Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not all activate the Great Extinction Father!

"Master Yu, we can talk about the petition later. You have more important matters to attend to now." Yang Li gestured with his eyes, signaling her to pay attention to the Qi Refiners.

Xiaoyu said, "The petition is a major matter concerning the Empress Dowager's funeral arrangements! Everything else is minor and can be put aside for now."

This statement is not directed at anyone in particular.

After bidding farewell to the former kings of Qin, she originally intended to return to the Qinling Mountains to continue tormenting the ancestral dragon veins.

However, the number of "godfathers from the underworld" has stopped growing for a long time.

Xiao Yu immediately understood that Yang Li had failed to complete his mission perfectly and had "prematurely" returned to the Imperial Observatory.

Although she wasn't targeting anyone in particular, everyone in the hall except her believed that she was targeting the "Grand Tutor selector".

Immediately, an old Taoist priest with blond hair and golden eyes stood up and said angrily, "Master Yu, perhaps for you, Zhao Ji's little troubles are a major issue that is causing you a lot of headaches and requires careful attention."

But for the Imperial Observatory, the Qin Dynasty, and the people, the most important thing was that the Imperial Observatory had never had a Grand Tutor to oversee its affairs.

Master Guan first whispered, "Don't be careless! They've come with ill intentions."

He then introduced, "Master Yu, you've been away for a long time, so you probably don't recognize me."

This senior is the Supreme Elder of the Tongtian Sword Sect on Jin'ao Island in the Far East, known as "Lu Jin Gong".

Two months earlier, he had been appointed Grand Master of the Imperial Observatory by Empress Dowager Zhao.

And these few too, including Zhong Yuangong, the "Immortal Immortal" of the Eastern Sea Ancestral Prefecture.

He Zhenjun of Taiyuan Palace in Xuanzhou, Beihai, is the same person as Zhang Zhenren from Taiyuan Palace in Xuanzhou.

The Whale Taoist of Penglai Immortal Island
They were all renowned immortals of the Xuanmen sect, and were all bestowed the title of 'Grand Celestial Master' by Empress Dowager Zhao.

However, since Master Yu was absent, the Imperial Observatory had been without a leader and had not yet assigned positions to these fellow Daoists.
