While Shao Siming was anxiously trying to bring Jing Tianming and Gai Nie out, worried that they would be desecrated by the people in the Mo Family Ghost Village, Jing Tianming and Gai Nie were living a comfortable life in the Mo Family Ghost Village.

Dong Guo Zhi's sincere heart, willing to go through fire and water for the beauty, failed to move Duanmu Rong, and he was somewhat disheartened. Unexpectedly, he moved Jing Tianming instead.

Dong Guozhi initially found it hard to accept why his feelings could move a little boy. Was it because he had a feminine quality?

Upon closer reflection, it became clear that Jing Tianming had never experienced parental love since childhood. Furthermore, because of his special identity as the son of Jing Ke, he was constantly coveted by others and lived a life of constant misery.

Seeing him pursue Duanmu Rong so brazenly now, he probably envies his own carefree and unrestrained lifestyle. Having figured this out, Dongguo Zhi felt a little sorry for Jing Tianming.

He decided he should teach Jing Tianming martial arts. In today's world, they were all living in chaos, and the Confucian and Taoist ideas of "benevolence" were really useless. It was better for them to have martial arts skills, be free to come and go, and have no one to interfere.

So Dong Guo Zhi came to find Jing Tianming. He didn't explain his purpose at the beginning, but simply chatted with him. He felt that they could be friends first and then exchange martial arts knowledge.

Unexpectedly, what was originally just an "appetizer" of conversation turned into the main event. During the conversation, Jing Tianming found Dong Guozhi to be a very interesting person, who would tell him things he had never heard of before.

Dong Guozhi, however, found Jing Tianming quite endearing. He hadn't had such a pleasant conversation with anyone in a long time, mainly because others found him too long-winded. Jing Tianming was the only person so far willing to listen to him for so long.

And so, Jing Tianming and Dong Guozhi, one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit, chatted together for an entire night and still felt it wasn't enough.

The next evening, the two chatted again, and their friendship deepened through their conversations. One day, Jing Tianming asked Dong Guozhi curiously why he listened to Duanmu Rong so readily, especially since Duanmu Rong was known for her fiery temper. After all, he felt that Duanmu Rong was sometimes unreasonable, but Dong Guozhi didn't seem to mind at all.

Upon hearing Jing Tianming's question, the system couldn't help but criticize Jing Tianming's gossipy nature, only to be retorted by Jing Tianming that he was merely curious.

Chapter 1036 The Dynasty of Destiny

Tianming couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Dongguo Zhi. He was still feeling uneasy because asking such a question was like asking someone's private information. But he couldn't help but ask.

When Dong Guozhi heard Tianming ask him this question, he had already guessed it. When he saw the curiosity in Tianming's eyes and the stars in his eyes, Dong Guozhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Actually, he didn't want to talk about this kind of thing, but ever since he and Tianming hit it off, he felt he should tell his friend.

But she didn't know how to say it, because it was too complicated, so she said to Tianming, "Do you really want to know?"

Upon hearing this, Tianming nodded without hesitation and said, "I really want to hear how you two met? And why did you do whatever Rong'er asked you to do?"

Dong Guozhi remained silent upon hearing this, his calm face expressionless. His eyes held a look of reminiscence as he gazed at the high peak in front of him, and said to Tianming, "Actually, my meeting with her was fate."

Dong Guo Zhi's memories gradually returned to his past self. When Dong Guo Zhi was young, his greatest skill when he traveled the martial arts world was his lightness skill.

He was practically invincible, and his greatest pride was his lightness skill. Dong Guozhi thought of this and said it to Tianming. After hearing this, Tianming nodded and said, "Brother Dong Guozhi, it's just that your lightness skill is amazing. It has nothing to do with Miss Rong'er."

Upon hearing this, Dong Guozhi smiled and said to Tianming, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you slowly how I met Rong'er." At that time, Dong Guozhi was still riding high in the organization.

Because he was the most skilled, he took on dangerous missions. Once, after receiving a mission from the organization, he was assigned to a very dangerous person who could almost die at any moment, but he accepted it without hesitation.

Because he was the only one with the highest martial arts skills here, if he didn't accept the mission, no one else would dare to. And since he had to complete the mission on the very day he accepted it, he transformed from the triumphant Dongguo Zhi into a Dongguo Zhi filled with despair and hopelessness on that day.

Upon hearing this, Tianming looked at Dongguo Zhi in surprise and said, "Brother Dongguo Zhi, didn't you say your leg was bad? But looking at your leg now, it's clearly as if you've never been injured."

Upon hearing this, Dong Guozhi looked ahead with even more tenderness and said, "That's because I met Rong'er; she is my angel."

Tianming was still a little confused when he heard this. What did this have to do with his meeting Rong'er? Tianming had no idea that Rong'er had healed Dongguo Zhi's broken leg.

Then he turned to Dongguo Zhi and said, "Brother Dongguo Zhi, please continue your story. What happened next?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Guozhi began to tell their story again. At that time, Dong Guozhi was on a mission when his leg was shattered by the enemy, which would probably completely ruin his proud lightness skill. Just when he was in despair, he met a beautiful and lovely girl named Rong'er. At that time, Rong'er was also a very beautiful and charming woman.

Chapter 1037 The Shocked Gai Nie and Others

Seeing that Dong Guo Zhi was injured, she healed him without hesitation. At that moment, Dong Guo Zhi didn't know what to say, he only knew that he swore in his heart that as long as he was still in this world, he would do whatever Rong'er asked him to do, even if it meant going through fire and water.

Tianming was shocked to hear this. He couldn't believe that the shrewish woman was so different from the gentle and generous woman Dongguo Zhi had described. Rong'er didn't seem like that kind of girl. Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

But Tianming now understood why Rong'er asked Dongguo Zhi to do something, and why Dongguo Zhi would help her without hesitation. Hearing this, he completely understood.

Then he turned directly to Dong Guo Zhi and said, "Brother Dong Guo Zhi, I actually think you two are a good match. Don't you really want to be with Miss Rong'er?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Guozhi stood there expressionless, seemingly lost in thought. Then, he burst into laughter, a laugh that sounded both pathetic and mocking to Tianming.

Dong Guozhi said to Tianming, "I am not worthy of her. In my world, she is a sacred and inviolable fairy, while I am just a mortal. I am not worthy of her at all."

Tianming looked at Dongguo Zhi speechlessly. In their eyes, Dongguo Zhi was clearly an outstanding man, yet he said he was not worthy of Miss Rong'er at all. Could love really make people like this?

Tianming was at a loss for words. How could Dongguo Zhi think he was so bad? To others, Dongguo Zhi and Rong'er were an absolutely perfect match.

Now that Dong Guo Zhi is actually evaluating himself like this, Tianming really doesn't know what to say. He said to Dong Guo Zhi with a sense of disappointment, "Brother Dong Guo Zhi, you are actually a very outstanding man. Why do you evaluate yourself like this? We all think you and Miss Rong'er are a perfect match. You are really excellent."

Upon hearing this, Dong Guozhi shook his head with a self-deprecating expression and said, "I am not good enough for her. She is such a wonderful person." Then, lost in thought, he fell silent with a blank expression.

Seeing him like this, Tianming felt as if he had touched Dongguo Zhi's deepest sorrow, and he felt that the silent Dongguo Zhi was very pitiful.

Tianming was at a loss for words and didn't know how to comfort Dongguo Zhi. After thinking for a moment, he said to Dongguo Zhi, "Brother Dongguo Zhi, I shouldn't have said those things."

Dong Guozhi shook his head and said, "It's really nothing, there's nothing shameful about it."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother, let's go grab a drink. I heard there's a restaurant nearby that serves really good drinks."

After hearing this, Tianming nodded helplessly and said, "Alright then, since you want to drink yourself into oblivion, I'll keep you company."

The two then went directly into the restaurant and had jars of wine brought in. Dong Guozhi drank without saying a word.

Tianming was very worried when he saw this. What could he do? It was obvious that Dongguo Zhi was in a bad mood. He hadn't expected that he would say something that touched Dongguo Zhi's heart. He really didn't know how to resolve this.

Chapter 1038 The Supreme Heavenly Court, Desiring to Establish an Immortal Dynasty on Earth

Meanwhile, on another day, Ying Zheng was leisurely playing with the beauty in his arms in the palace. The thought of capturing Tianming and the others soon filled him with excitement.

Suddenly, it seemed that soldiers came to report from outside. Ying Zheng released the beauty in his arms and hurriedly let them in. As soon as the soldiers came in, they told Ying Zheng directly that they had not captured Tianming and the others. Ying Zheng was furious when he heard this.

Looking at these cowardly soldiers in front of him, he felt even angrier, and kicked the soldier in front of him away.

He angrily shouted, "You bunch of useless trash, what good are you?"

After the soldiers were kicked out, they hurriedly retreated from the room, their foreheads covered in cold sweat. Ying Zheng, burning with anger, thought to himself: "I didn't expect Tianming to be so powerful now. Even with so many soldiers, we still couldn't capture them. It seems they are really lucky."

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng became even angrier and vowed to capture them, otherwise he would not be able to quell his hatred. After his anger subsided, he summoned the soldier who had just come to report and asked him to come in.

The soldier walked in hesitantly, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. He stepped forward and said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Ying Zheng sat in his seat and said slowly, "You say you failed to capture Tianming, but he's not that powerful. You couldn't have captured him no matter what you did, even though you sent so many of your men."

Upon hearing this, the soldier realized something and became even more furious, saying directly to the King of Qin, "Your Majesty, it's because someone came to intercept us. He's highly skilled in martial arts. None of us can defeat him. He single-handedly sent us all flying, and you know that person too."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was even more surprised and immediately asked the soldier, "Which one are you talking about? I know him?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier hurriedly identified the person as Gai Nie, which greatly surprised Ying Zheng.

Unexpectedly, that person would help Tianming. Considering that person's martial arts skills, he felt that it was not surprising that he could not catch him, because no one could match a man's martial arts skills. Sending out so many people would be normal if they were beaten back.

After thinking for a moment, he felt even angrier. He threw the cup in his hand and said fiercely, "I didn't expect Tianming to be so capable that he could get Gai Nie to help them. It seems that this person is really good at things."

He suddenly felt angry again. Ying Zheng hadn't expected Tian Ming to be so resourceful. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly waved his hand in frustration. The soldier under the table, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went out.

Ying Zheng smiled mockingly when he saw this. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly summoned people over.

"Go and call Zhao Gao over quickly."

Zhao Gao, who was on the other side, heard Ying Zheng call him over. He thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure out what it was about. Anyway, he went over.

He then followed the servant out of the palace. Once outside, the servant withdrew, and Zhao Gao went inside and closed the door. Qin Zheng sat there, his expressionless face and furrowed brows.

Chapter 1039 The Path to Emperorship: Ying Zheng's Domineering Power

Judging from his expression, it seems that something very important has happened, and this matter has seriously angered him.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao put aside his doubts and decided to appease Ying Zheng first, since he was capable of becoming Ying Zheng's favorite minister and had a great talent for flattery. He then hurriedly stepped forward.

He knelt humbly before King Qin and said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

When Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao arrive, his eyebrows relaxed slightly. He said to him, "You know Tianming, right? He's my nemesis. A few days ago, I sent someone to kill him, but someone rescued him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao immediately understood and hurriedly asked Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, who are you referring to?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng angrily threw his wine cup away and said, "It's that person again. You know it. You should have figured it out by now."

Upon hearing this, a name immediately popped into Zhao Gao's mind. Thinking of his unparalleled martial arts skills, which made him invincible, he understood what was going on. In fact, Zhao Gao was currently a favorite minister of the King of Qin, but he also had another identity: the number one leader of the Yin-Yang School.

After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, please wait for me for a while. I will send someone to investigate what happened. You can sit here in peace."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Zhao Gao hurriedly withdrew. In fact, Zhao Gao's ability to become Ying Zheng's favorite minister was not only due to his skill in flattery, but also to his high efficiency in handling affairs.

As soon as Zhao Gao went out, he immediately summoned his men to investigate what had happened. The men flew out in front of him and disappeared in an instant. A short while later, the men in black flew back and placed the stack of information they were carrying into Zhao Gao's hands.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gao nodded in satisfaction. The man in black immediately flew away and disappeared. Zhao Gao then opened the record in his hand and slowly read it. It described the entire situation at the time, including the Mohists. It seemed that the Mohists had also joined in.

Their failure to capture Tianming was also a major part of their problem. Seeing this, Zhao Gao was quite pleased with himself. He had disliked the Mo family for many years, and seeing this was really great. He then memorized the key points of the information.

He quickly walked into the Qin King's palace. Ying Zheng was there to vent his anger, as he had just been so furious that he felt a little unwell. Then he saw Zhao Gao walk in and see this.

Upon entering, he went straight to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why they failed to capture Tianming? The Mohists also played a significant role in that."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately became enraged again and sent men to rape and kill all the members of the Mo family before he felt relieved.

He never expected that the Mo family, who claimed to be loyal to him every day, would actually help Tianming and the others. They dared to deceive him. He would be Ying Zheng if he didn't kill them all.

Zhao Gao was overjoyed to see this, thinking that the entire Mo family would soon be wiped out.
