Chapter 221 The Sage's Decree
In front of a large mansion in the capital city.

"Mr. Jing, can this person really help us meet Wang Shoucheng?"

At this time, the artifacts used for worldly affairs look completely different from their handsome appearance in the material world.

He was dressed in plain clothes, and his appearance was far from handsome; in fact, his features were somewhat crooked, and his plainness was tinged with ugliness.

"Young Master Qian, this Zheng Zhu is not only a highly skilled physician, but also possesses martial arts prowess at the title level. He is a trusted confidant of Wang Shoucheng,"

"If he's willing to introduce you, you'll definitely get to see him. Don't worry."

The young master Qian in front of us is a member of a large clan in the Federation and is also known as "Flying Eagle of the Border Town," who is very active in the Great Zhou exchange group.

This trip to the capital is to seek opportunities and boost his influence within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He and Jing Shiqi had known each other since the Federation.

After awakening, they kept in touch and learned that Jing Shi Qi had been operating in the capital for some time and had some foundation and connections.

Unexpectedly, he even got involved with Wang Shoucheng, a powerful eunuch in the court.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a scholar of classical studies. He has climbed up from the bottom to become a guest of honor in a prominent family. He is indeed quite capable.

As they were talking, a group of people escorted a man on horseback as they approached.

"coming!"

The two perked up and quickly stepped forward.

Jing Shiqi bowed before the horse and said, "Lord Zheng, I am Jing Shiqi. I wonder if you still remember me..."

"Step aside!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Zhu, who had received a considerable amount of money from him and should have a tacit understanding with him, hurriedly dismounted and pushed him aside.

The next second, tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran towards the house, crying and shouting as she ran: "Help! The Grand Secretary has been assassinated! Prepare the funeral immediately!"

Jing Shiqi and Young Master Qian looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Shoucheng is dead?!

Young Master Qian's face turned grim: "Mr. Jing, what should we do?!"

Jing Shiqi's expression turned even uglier.

Why did he choose someone with the surname Qian? Because he had money.

Zheng Zhu had a huge appetite, and countless amounts of silver were spent to bribe him.

Now that Wang Shoucheng is dead, is it possible to get that money back?

This isn't the federal government; money isn't so easy to make here!

……

"Pfft!"

In a private house.

One person couldn't help but laugh.

He is the person in the Da Zhou chat group who has been "dating for two lifetimes".

The person next to him, who had been poor for two lifetimes, asked, "What are you laughing at? What did you hear?"

"Having been together for two lifetimes" laughed so hard he almost fell over: "Wang Shoucheng is dead! That kid threw all his money into the water, and all he heard was a splash! Hahahaha!"

"died?!"

Having been poor for two lifetimes, he stared intently in one direction for a while, his eyes wide open.

Both of them possessed a very special supernatural power.

His eyes can see things at extremely far distances without being able to see obstacles.

Having been with someone for two lifetimes, their ears can selectively hear sounds from extremely far away.

After their spiritual consciousness awakened, their supernatural powers also awakened.

Even more remarkably, they were complete strangers in the Federation.

However, due to the awakening of their supernatural powers, they were able to sense each other.

That's why they were able to get together.

The fact that Young Master Qian was "Flying Eagle of the Border Town" was also learned unintentionally through these two supernatural abilities, which was quite a coincidence.

The two had been arguing fiercely with this "Flying Eagle of the Border Town" in the chat group, and naturally they were happy to see him suffer.

"Having been together for two lifetimes" gloated, "This kid's really going to be in deep trouble now. Let's see if he still dares to act tough in the group!"

"Having been poor for two lifetimes," he said, stroking his chin. "Tell me, how could Wang Shouchang have suddenly died? Could it be related to the commotion in the palace last night?"

"Last night, that 'Prince Jing' went towards the capital. Could it be... that he was behind this?"

The two of them possessed such supernatural abilities, and by nature, they loved watching gossip and excitement, so they inevitably went around eavesdropping.

Last night, while I was looking for something interesting to see, I happened to see the Jing Dynasty's palace, which was currently enjoying great popularity.

Unfortunately, this Great Zhou imperial city was unusual, and they dared not use their supernatural powers to spy on the surrounding area for miles.

"Having been together for two lifetimes" was stunned: "Impossible? The commotion last night must have been at least at the title level, or even possibly a grandmaster level. No matter how powerful he is, he couldn't possibly be associated with someone of that level."

"Yeah, anyway, this is going to be quite a spectacle."

He sighed, “I’ve been poor for two lifetimes.”

In fact it is.

It wasn't just the capital city that was in an uproar over Wang Shoucheng's death.

This major event also plunged the community into constant speculation and debate.

And the instigator was Xie Lingxin.

At this moment, he was in Bai Juyi's Lüdao Garden, enjoying a carefree and peaceful life.

Sitting in the water pavilion, watching the waterfall cascading down, with Xuanxuan and Susu dancing among the water, it was like a fairyland.

Suzhen knelt beside him, brewing tea and adding incense.

This is the life of a god.

With Wang Shoucheng dead, the eunuchs were leaderless and barely had time to protect themselves, so naturally no one wanted to take any more of his "deposed king" persona.

He is now completely safe.

The rest was none of his concern.

The cases concerning the remnants of the eunuch faction and the flood in Bianzhou will be handled by Song Shenxi, Li Xun, and others.

These are all perfect opportunities to kick a man when he's down, and neither they nor the civil service will let them go.

And he himself was finally able to settle down.

Sitting comfortably on the water corridor built along the cliff, my thoughts sank into my mind.

More than half a month has passed.

There are too many things to do, so I can't devote myself to spiritual practice.

The speed has slowed down considerably.

Based on what I have learned so far, and with the aid of nectar and jade dates, if I focus on cultivation, my sexual energy can increase by at least 40 points a day.

The efficiency is about 10% higher than before entering the domain.

The main titles are "Hundred Battles Blood Refinement Technique" and "Great Netherworld Bell Protective Divine Power".

Blood Refining Technique is the ultimate body-refining technique of the Divine Strategy Army, a ten-directional level life-cultivation technique, which can be considered a pretty good technique.

The Golden Bell Cover is a martial arts technique that cultivates both body and mind, and is also a supreme skill that combines offense and defense.

The efficiency of improving sexual function almost entirely comes from this.

As for the progress of this life cultivation...

Xie Lingxin finally understood why the Blood Essence Pearl was so worthless in the Federation.

Using this thing makes it almost impossible to make any progress in one's cultivation of life force.

Under normal circumstances, it should increase by more than 20 per day.

It has increased by more than 1 point in just over half a month.

It's probably ruined.

But it's okay.

He had only two purposes for this trip to the realm.

Practice spiritual cultivation and find an opportunity to uncover the true secrets of "The Descent of the Tathagata".

Such a special realm, a lifetime.

This is enough for him to cultivate his sexual skills to an extremely high level.

Even if the resources of the Great Zhou are far inferior to those of the Federation, a lifetime is long enough to cultivate to the sixth level or even the title level, so it shouldn't be difficult, right?

As for life cultivation, since you can't take your physical cultivation with you, it's fine if it's ruined.

I've experienced the realm of a master once.

"Your Highness, that villain has been executed. Won't Your Highness move back to the palace?"

Su Zhen's voice reached my ears.

Xie Lingxin opened his eyes, and the beautiful scenery of Lüdao Garden came into view, which instantly dispelled his depression and made his heart feel much more open.

Poets like Bai Juyi really knew how to enjoy life.

I heard that he originally traded two horses for this Lüdao Garden from an official.

He designed the entire project, which has been gradually expanded to its current size.

Xie Lingxin thought to herself that she must have such a big mansion in the future!

Not only is it comfortable to live there, but staying there for a long time can also be beneficial for spiritual practice.

No wonder there are so many blessed lands in the legends.

Spiritual practice is not something that can be accomplished simply by having a doghouse to crawl into.

"Go back to the palace? What for? Aren't you comfortable living here?"

The original Li Rui was, after all, a prince.

According to the rules, princes who have not yet reached adulthood still live in the palace.

He still had a side hall in Ziwei City.

However, in my memory, that place was remote, old, and dilapidated.

Although it's big enough, it's like a haunted house.

Furthermore, given his current popularity, he would probably not feel comfortable living in the palace, as countless eyes would be watching him.

"This place is great!"

Su Zhen looked at Xuan Xuan and Su Su fluttering around outside and smiled happily.

"However, Your Highness, you are of noble birth, you can't stay here in the white tent forever, can you?"

Xie Lingxin flicked her finger and tapped her head: "You've even learned to tease your prince?"

"Heh, this servant wouldn't dare!"

"Don't worry about staying here. Bai Qing isn't that petty; she won't kick us out."

Xie Lingxin looked towards the entrance of the Water Pavilion: "Is that right, Bai Qing?"

Bai Juyi had just reached the door and was about to knock when he heard these words, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Aside from shoes and socks, step into the Water Pavilion.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

"I've told you so many times, this is your place, no need for formalities, please sit down."

Bai Juyi smiled and sat down gracefully on the waterside veranda.

"If Your Highness is pleased, you are welcome to stay here as if it were your own home. It would be my honor. Thank you, Miss Suzhen."

He took the tea offered by Suzhen and blew on it: "However, Your Highness is of noble birth and of imperial lineage. I'm afraid the Emperor will not allow Your Highness to wander outside for too long."

Bai Juyi looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm afraid Your Highness's days of leisure are numbered."

Xie Lingxin immediately sat up straight: "What does Bai Qing mean by this?"

Bai Juyi said, "News just came from the court that the Prince of Dai rejected the petition submitted by Grand Secretaries Song and Li, among others, requesting a thorough investigation into the flood in Bianzhou and the allocation of funds and grain for disaster relief."

"They say there's no evidence, but Wang Shoucheng was still a high-ranking official in the court, with great merit and hard work. Now that he's dead, we shouldn't tarnish his posthumous reputation for the sake of his superiors."

Xie Lingxin chuckled: "Ha, he claims to have made great contributions? To avoid offending the emperor? I think the Prince of Dai is also involved in this matter."

Bai Juyi smiled, but could not respond to that remark.

Xie Ling thought to herself, "This isn't going to end like this, is it?"

Bai Juyi said solemnly, "That's right, the Emperor has issued a decree..."
