Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 117 Xuan Ziwen's Bottleneck

On the wide road outside the Ming capital city.

Soul-guided vehicles pass by from time to time.

Of course, this is a sight that can only be seen near Mingdu.

Even though the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology was highly advanced.

However, soul tools are mostly used by soul masters, while baby bottles are not yet common and widely used by civilians.

Therefore, only a few nobles could afford to use the Soul Guidance Vehicle.

However, some traditional nobles also preferred to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

"Xuanxin, you've brought us such a big surprise again without saying a word."

"The plans you proposed could probably increase the Empire's strength by more than 50%."

"Don't underestimate the size of 50%. It's the size of an empire, the most powerful empire on the entire continent."

"So, in my opinion, you're truly a lucky star for my Sun Moon Empire."

Jing Hongchen looked at Ye Xuanxin, who was returning to the academy with him, and thought to himself.

"You flatter me. I don't have that much influence. At most, I can only act as a go-between."

"We've started, but we're not going to worry about the details. You'll have to handle the actual execution."

"Heh, what are you saying? If you hadn't started this, who would have thought there would be something like a soul power circulation system? Who would have thought that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would have the opportunity to cooperate with the Body Sect?"

Jing Hongchen was clearly very excited; her slightly chubby face flushed red with emotion.

"Rest assured, the empire will not mistreat someone as meritorious as you."

"The prizes from the last competition have been awarded."

"Guess what rewards you and Ye Bing'er, who contributed the most to the competition, received?"

"Um?"

"Haha, you'd never guess!"

"I'm telling you in advance!"

"You two will be personally granted the title of Earl by His Majesty! In addition, you will have an exchange quota of 20 million Gold Soul Coins, which can be used to exchange for Soul Bones, medicinal herbs, Soul Tools, rare metals, and more from the Empire and the Royal Family!"

"count?"

Ye Xuanxin raised an eyebrow.

"The kind with fiefdoms?"

"Uh, there isn't one yet."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jing Hongchen's face.

"In the last thousand years, the empire has granted many officials titles for their great achievements, but almost none of them have been granted fiefdoms."

"In fact, the empire's current major lords are all descendants of those who came from a thousand years ago and have shared weal and woe with the empire."

"Of course, if Xuanxin wants a fiefdom, that's not out of the question."

A profound meaning flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes.

"Then forget it."

Ye Xuanxin shook her head.

Taking territory naturally comes at a price, which means sharing weal and woe with the Sun and Moon Empire and being deeply bound together.

Ye Xuanxin didn't want to be held back by these things.

"You lad, you really get things right away! So insightful at such a young age. What will you be like when you're older?"

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

Jing Hongchen sighed, then, as if suddenly remembering something, continued.

"By the way, Xuanxin, I might be a bit busy as the dean these days."

"Regarding the collaborative research on soul power circulation that you mentioned earlier, as well as the collaboration with the Body Sect this time, and the Shrek Academy exchange students will be arriving soon, probably in the next couple of days."

"So I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Oh? Dean, please go ahead."

"Uh, it's just helping me take care of the kids."

"child?"

"Yes, I have a grandson and a granddaughter. Their parents passed away early, and I've been taking care of them all the time. I took you two to a competition a while ago, and I was thinking of spending some quality time with the kids when I got back, but I didn't expect to be so busy again. I don't know when it will end."

"So I want to send them to you."

"Oh, of course, that means they can follow you to cultivate and attend classes during the day, and you don't need to take care of them at night."

This is certainly not the whole reason. Ever since learning that Ye Xuanxin won the championship in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, his granddaughter's admiration for Ye Xuanxin has been overflowing. She keeps clamoring to see Ye Xuanxin, and he managed to brush her off by saying that Ye Xuanxin hadn't returned to the academy. Now that Ye Xuanxin has returned, he can no longer brush her off.

Furthermore, Ye Xuanxin is quite skilled in both cultivation and interpersonal relationships. His two children can learn something from him even without special instruction.

Originally, he planned to have the two children use secret techniques and medicinal herbs to rapidly increase their soul power after this competition, so that they could use it as a trump card in the next competition and win the championship.

However, this idea came before Ye Xuanxin appeared. After Ye Xuanxin appeared, the two children no longer needed to be forced to grow too fast and waste their cultivation potential. Instead, they could be influenced by Ye Xuanxin, which would be very beneficial to them.

"I see."

"Alright then, you've taken such good care of us these past few days, how could I refuse such a small request?"

"Please have the two children come over tomorrow."

Jing Hongchen beamed with joy.

The group returned to the academy.

Jing Hongchen then hurriedly left.

They said they were going to write a memorial to the emperor.

Ye Xuanxin, Bingdi, and Jiang Nannan had just returned to their dormitory.

Well, they haven't even had a chance to sit down properly yet.

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Who is it?

"It's me! Orange!"

"Little brother Xuanxin! You're finally back! Open the door!"

"It's urgent!"

Ye Xuanxin stepped forward and opened the door.

Although it had been several months since they last met, Orange, still dressed in an orange dress, looked anxious, her stunning beauty undiminished.

He grabbed Ye Xuanxin's wrist and pulled her outside.

"Hey, wait a minute! What happened?"

"Oh dear! You don't know!"

"While we were away at the competition, and with you still not back, Teacher Xuan Ziwen was nearly driven crazy!"

"He keeps saying he wants to see you! But he won't say what happened!"

"Please go and save him!"

Orange pulled Ye Xuanxin along and ran quickly toward the laboratory building.

Ye Xuanxin was also completely bewildered.

After arriving at the laboratory...

Then I saw Xuan Ziwen sitting next to the lab bench with a blank look in his eyes.

The lab coat, which should have been spotless white, had long since turned yellowish and was covered in grime.

Xuan Ziwen, who used to be quite clean and neat, has now turned into this disheveled and decadent appearance.

Just as Orange said, it seems like she's about to go crazy.

"Teacher Xuan! Ye Xuanxin is back!!!"

"Please take a look!"

"Teacher Xuan, what's wrong?"

Xuan Ziwen's body trembled.

Turn your head to the side.

His eyes, as sharp as a wolf's, stared straight at Ye Xuanxin.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it strode forward.

With one hand grabbing Ye Xuanxin, and to Ju Zi's astonishment, with the other hand lifting her by the back of her neck and throwing her out the door.

He kicked the door shut.

"Xuanxin, you're finally back!"

"Come and take a look!"

"My research has hit a bottleneck!!!"

Xuan Ziwen's eyes were filled with burning passion.
