"I am in love with Ye Lanyin, but Ye Lanyin does not reciprocate my feelings. She rarely appears to create 'fate' for me. How can we achieve a happy marriage?"

General Sun snorted coldly.

Fortunately, his daughter is only nine years old. Despite the chaos in the court yesterday, he watched the show with a smile.

An old ox eating tender grass—only the Regent has such a thick skin.

He said angrily, "Next time someone wants to become my apprentice, you can teach them yourself."

The regent casually sat down in his seat and glanced at him.

"Regarding the salary, I will have my elder brother take it back."

"No way! I finally got a raise, and if you ask His Majesty to take it back, what will my household eat?"

"Now... now there's another mouth to feed!" He sneered. "At worst, I'll teach Chang'an a lesson he can learn."

"Very well, I trust General Sun's abilities."

"Hmph!" General Sun said, "Regent, I'm not trying to criticize you, but if you like Ye Lanyin, why don't you just say it was you who asked me to do it?"

"Didn't she get so excited that she offered herself to him?"

"With those old hands opposing it so fiercely yesterday, do you think Ye Lanyin would offer herself to them?"

"What I want is for her to marry me willingly, not to be bribed with material things. Is this how you obtained General Sun's wife?"

When his wife was mentioned, General Sun's face softened instantly.

"Of course, she went through hardships with me. If it were a matter of bribery, how could it be my turn?"

He has self-awareness.

The lady came from a wealthy family, and he was a warrior who had risked his life to climb to this position.

When the Tianji Kingdom attempted to invade the Holy Kingdom, he volunteered to defend it. How many battles did he fight to get the other side to remain neutral? And in return, he earned a lifetime of glory?

"Your Majesty, the Divine Summoning Conference is just around the corner, and this time it happens to be our Holy Kingdom's turn."

"Why don't you try to find the young prince's spiritual root? Maybe you'll find one?"

Since the young prince is of royal blood, he must possess royal spiritual roots.

Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, when the Purple Spirit Goddess created the Holy Kingdom with her supreme divine power.

They specially selected a seed bead from the Purple Spirit Pearl, one that contained the essence of heaven and earth, and integrated this seed bead into the bloodline of the Holy Kingdom's royal family and people.

It not only endowed the royal family with sacred blood, but also planted an immortal spiritual root deep in their hearts.

As time goes by, spiritual roots, through their own exploration and effort, are no longer something everyone possesses.

Until that catastrophe a century ago, the last spiritual root of the Holy Kingdom also disappeared.
