Chapter 69 : National Preceptor, Are You
"Strange fires? A parasol tree?"
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, a hint of inquiry in his gaze as he asked Ming Chen, "Since you know the method of undeath, sir, why don't you find them for me as well?"
Ming Chen shook his head gently. "As Chen has said before, this is Your Majesty's path of fate, and only you can find them. Chen has found ninety-nine of them, with only one missing. If Chen were to find these ingredients before you, and Chen refined the elixir of undeath himself, what if Chen ate it himself?"
"Chen has already come before you. Those ingredients need to be found by you."
He answered fluently, as if it were a matter of course. "These are all yours. The path of fate is strict; others cannot contend for it."

"Moreover, your fatal calamity has already arrived. Chen has no time to attend to other matters and has specially entered the world to help you overcome this calamity."
"Good!"

Xiao Yu nodded. "I will certainly do my utmost to cooperate with you, sir."
Although Ming Chen spoke pleasant words, Xiao Yu still caught the key phrase in his speech: 'eat it himself.'
He secretly calculated in his heart that even if he found the ingredients, he would have to guard against this demon star.
Thus, the focus of his attention had shifted.

Although Ming Chen had not produced the elixir of undeath, Xiao Yu still believed him.
Ming Chen stood up and bowed to Xiao Yu. "Your Majesty is wise and brilliant!"
"Good!"
"Good, good!"

Suppressing all sorts of thoughts in his heart, Xiao Yu couldn't help but reveal a hearty smile.
He looked at Ming Chen with eyes full of appreciation and said directly, "Hahahaha~ For you, sir, to enter the world in this time of crisis, to save my Great Qian from fire and water, and to help me resolve this, it is truly my fortune, and the fortune of Great Qian~"

"Your Majesty overpraises me."
"What does Your Majesty need me to do, sir? Is it time to show your skills?"
The old emperor looked very happy, but Ming Chen did not relax. He just shook his head and said, "I still ask that Your Majesty send people to find the strange fires and the parasol tree. Since Chen has entered officialdom through the imperial examinations, Your Majesty should just follow the rules and treat Chen as an ordinary scholar."
That's what he said.
But how could Xiao Yu treat him as a truly ordinary candidate?
He gave Ming Chen a deep look and nodded slightly. "Good."

"Your Majesty, this pill is called 'Clear Heart.' It is refined by Chen from the essence of green bamboo, at the cost of great effort. Although it cannot compare to the elixir of undeath, it can nourish the spirit and prolong life."
The necessary things had been said, the goals had been achieved, and it was about time to leave.
Ming Chen took out a box, placed it on the table, and bowed to Xiao Yu. "A gift for Your Majesty upon our first meeting."
The box opened, and a clear fragrance immediately assailed the nostrils, making one's spirit jolt. A crystal-clear pill lay quietly in the brocade box.
The Clear Heart Pill, for nourishing the spirit and clearing the mind.
It was the other reward from the vengeful ghost's wish fulfillment.

Of course, now that a good thing was in Ming Chen's hands, he wouldn't spit it out.
After getting it, he ate it on the spot.

As for the one he was giving to the emperor now, it was just a pill that had been soaked in green bamboo wine for a month.
Anyway, no one in this world knew what a Clear Heart Pill looked like. It wouldn't matter if Ming Chen rolled up some boogers and called it a Clear Heart Pill.
The functions he described were also vague.
No one in the world could feel their life being prolonged.

It was just like selling health products for the elderly; the effects were whatever he said they were.
The pill had some effect, but not much.
The effect of the old emperor eating this thing would be similar to eating a placebo.
It was just right to prove his own worth.

...
They said they would discuss the world, but in reality, what they talked about most was the immortality and eternal life the old emperor wanted to hear about.

After delivering the pill, the spirited, young, and arrogant scholar withdrew.
Watching the other's departing figure, the warm smile on Xiao Yu's face gradually faded.
The guards at his side brought the brocade box left by Ming Chen to him.
The clear scent of green bamboo lingered at the tip of his nose.
Xiao Yu looked at the pill quietly, did not eat it, and just said, "Send people to find the strange fires and the divine parasol tree."
He closed the brocade box and placed it on the table. "Do not follow him. Go and investigate who he has been in contact with since entering the capital."

"Yes!"
As his voice fell, several secret guards responded, and then their figures flashed and disappeared from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Creaak."
The door closed. Those who should have left were all gone, and everything returned to tranquility.
Xiao Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the table as he said faintly, "National Preceptor, this person is the demon star or immortal you spoke of, isn't he?"
As his voice fell, a figure slowly walked out from the shadows.

"Sit."
Compared to the unfathomable Ming Chen, Xiao Yu was more casual with his old partner of thirty years.

He pointed casually, and the ugly old man in a black robe sat down in the seat Ming Chen had just occupied.
The old man's face was a mixture of sunny and cloudy expressions as he stammered, "Uh... Your Majesty, your subject... your subject does not know!"
For thirty years, aside from those audacious swindlers, no one had entered the emperor's sight with the status of a cultivator.
Yet today, there was one.

For a moment, he was speechless.
Emotionally speaking, colleagues are rivals. He certainly did not like this mysterious and flamboyant arrogant scholar.
His situation was very awkward.
He could already clearly feel His Majesty's distance from him. If a newcomer arrived, there was no guarantee he wouldn't fall out of favor.

His Majesty was fickle and ungrateful. If the new replaced the old, his end would not be good.
He was also skeptical of the mysterious theories of fate and immortal dreams the other had spoken of.
Е̌nü m а̌
However, he couldn't find a point to completely expose the other party.
There were far too many hidden masters in the world.
Whether he believed the other party or not was not important. What was important was that His Majesty believed.
He didn't know where this person came from or what he was capable of, but this person had dodged the butcher's knife and passed His Majesty's life-or-death test, which proved that the other party was certainly no ordinary person.
And as luck would have it, he had just told His Majesty about a demon star or immortal saving the country.
Then this person came, and was so special, so inscrutable.

What could he say?
Whether he admitted it or not, he would not have a good end.
"You don't know?"
Xiao Yu smiled upon hearing this and looked at him quietly. "National Preceptor, aren't you skilled in physiognomy? You can't see?"
The National Preceptor trembled under his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, physiognomy is just based on experience and divination; it cannot see through a person's destiny. The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. This person is strange and cunning. Your subject... your subject cannot see through him."
Xiao Yu smiled. "The National Preceptor cannot see through him? That is to say, he is indeed extraordinary, then?"

The National Preceptor: ...
"Is what he said about the theory of fate correct?"

"Correct."
To say it was incorrect would be to slap his own face.
When he had completed his studies and entered the world to seek wealth and honor, the system he had initially described to this noble person before him was similar.
"Hahahahaha~ Good, good, good!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.
Ming Chen, the National Preceptor... these people were not really important to him, and he didn't fully trust any of them.
Who could fulfill his wish—that was what was important.
It was already late, the sky was dark.

Xiao Yu's laughter stopped, half of his face hidden in the darkness, his voice low as he said, "National Preceptor, are you... inferior to him?"
