Xiao Zhixing glanced at Murong Wanli, who was engrossed in another book on Legalism, and she seemed to see countless students rushing towards her.

Those are all talented people; there is hope for her educational journey.

Once they entered her territory, she would surely offer them all sorts of good things to keep them there, and none of them would be able to leave.

She chatted and debated with Murong Wanli, and then took out a template of the Thousand Character Classic and asked the old man to help her compile it.

Five days later, the group entered Beiyuan County.

During this time, she saw through the live broadcast that Li Jun had begun to repair canals and renovate mulberry fields in Huzhou, gaining considerable fame.

On the overall fortune chart, the fortune value of each state has increased to some extent, with the most significant increases in Huzhou, Mengzhou, Suzhou, and Beizhou.

Zhao Xianyin seems to have started by raising silkworms and weaving cloth, encouraging the silkworm industry in Suzhou and gaining fame as a result.

The changes in the fortunes of other states are not yet apparent.

Then there's the matter of Cheng Lang.

The Emperor System and Luo Wei both knew that Cheng Lang had joined her, and they were furious.

The Emperor System, in particular, was restless, thinking, "Cheng Lang will definitely tell her about Luo Wei's cultivation method."

Even its existence might be leaked.

It sensed something was terribly wrong, as if it were being watched by some ancient ferocious beast.

Zhao Yunqi said, "No one expected Cheng Lang to go to Xiao Zhixing."

He had schemed against her before, and Xiao Zhixing was known for his vengeful nature; he would definitely cause him trouble.

Unexpectedly, he delivered himself to Beizhou.

This caused their pursuers to miscalculate the direction, allowing Cheng Lang to escape.

Xiao Zhixing: Of course, it was someone I sent who unintentionally reminded Cheng Lang in his despair that gave him a flash of inspiration and made him think of this desperate measure to survive.

"As a divine being, why are you so afraid of her?"

Zhao Yunqi said calmly, "Even if Cheng Lang said something, Xiao Zhixing, as a local, simply cannot understand your existence."

The Emperor System felt frustrated; it was an intuition, something it couldn't articulate.

It was as if it had encountered its natural nemesis. It inexplicably knew that once Xiao Zhixing figured out its methods, it would inevitably be in big trouble.

This intuition was especially evident at this moment, making it even more wary of Xiao Zhixing than of Xiao Yan.

"She has two peak third-level Heavenly Realm experts by her side. I don't understand, if Xiao Yan gave these people to her, why didn't these two appear back then?"

They let them deal with Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan had such a master by her side back then, how could he have sat on the throne?

Upon hearing Zhao Yunqi's question, the Emperor System replied, "Is it possible that these two people are not Xiao Yan's?"

Zhao Yunqi suddenly realized, "Her mysterious master?"

“We’ve investigated, and there’s absolutely no trace of Zhang Zai in the world. That person might be some reclusive master, so it’s normal for him to leave manpower for Xiao Zhixing.”

Well, figuring it out makes it even more painful.

Xiao Zhixing himself is difficult enough to deal with, and now he is protected by a top expert, making him as invincible as a thorny turtle.

One person, one silence.

Xiao Zhixing: I laugh triumphantly! And thank you all for helping me justify myself!

Zhao Yunqi added, "Xiao Yuanshan must have discovered something while he was there, but unfortunately my men dared not get too close to search."

The Emperor System felt dissatisfied with everything. "Let's withdraw. If Xiao Yan really appears, she'll come looking for us sooner or later."

Xiao Zhixing's men were stationed there, so they couldn't investigate.

It said coldly, "We're on the defensive in every situation, as if an invisible hand is controlling us. This can't go on..."

Zhao Yunqi reminded it, "Your luck value has increased significantly in recent years, and we can't afford to ruin this great situation by acting recklessly again."

He smiled bitterly, “I suddenly understand how Xiao Yan felt back then. She knew what she needed to do to prevent bad outcomes, but in order to maintain everything she had, she had to endure it and was forced to be pushed along in a resentful manner, constantly being constrained.”

Back then, Xiao Yan retreated step by step for the sake of a peaceful world and for Xiao Yuzhen's dying wish.

However, in order to maintain the peaceful fortune of the Great Sheng Dynasty, they have no choice but to tolerate Xiao Zhixing.

Because her actions were a calculated scheme, and while they shared the same goal of maintaining peace and prosperity in Dasheng.

So they could only watch her grow up rapidly, helpless.

The Emperor System instantly shut down, no longer wanting to communicate with him.

Because they were traveling on a cement road, the journey to Beizhou was much faster, and they arrived at the county seat and prefectural government of Beiyuan County in just three days.

Qi Danhe and Xiao Bei, along with their officials, came to greet them.

Xiao Zhixing gestured for them not to stand on ceremony, then turned and personally helped Murong Wanli out of the car. "Sir, we've arrived. I've arranged a fine place for you that will absolutely satisfy you."

So the officials, both high and low, accompanied Murong Wanli in a grand procession to the Beidu River east of the county town, where an academy was under construction.

A blank jade stone, ten feet high, stands at the entrance.

The faculty and doctoral students waited solemnly.

Upon approaching, Qi Danhe said, "Please, Your Highness, personally inscribe the words of Hengqu!"

Xiao Zhixing did not refuse; this was something she had arranged long ago.

She bowed to Murong Wanli in apology and stepped forward.

Ruoshui was ejected and carried away by the force of the energy.

The sword serves as a pen, flowing from top to bottom, the brushstrokes like dragons and snakes, accompanied by falling pebbles. The four lines of Hengqu are carved on it, grand and magnificent, shining brightly!

Everyone looked up and gazed, their eyes fixed on faith.

"Excellent!" Murong Wanli clasped his hands together.

Xiao Zhixing sheathed his sword and smiled, "Now that you've come, you must leave a few words of advice for the students of Beizhou."

A slightly smaller blank jade stone on the other side of the finger.

Murong Wanli snorted, "You excel at finding opportunities."

Xiao Zhixing accepted the offer without batting an eye.
