Chapter 48 The Emperor's Eldest Son (5)

Changqing met his scumbag father.

Yue Cangwu was tall and imposing, standing there like a sharp sword piercing the clouds, captivating all who beheld him.

The current emperor certainly has a certain air about him.

The meeting place was in the palace above the Imperial Pass. The facilities here were simple, and the huge stone pillars on both sides were covered with countless spoils of war.

Yue Cangwu glanced at the son born to his legal wife, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Hmph, your cultivation hasn't improved an inch. I was already a powerful Emperor at your age! You're nothing like me!"

He was ruthless in his criticism of education.

Changqing secretly grumbled to himself that the original owner of the body was practicing that modified cultivation method, so of course it was difficult to make progress. In addition, he was discouraged as soon as they met, so he was not happy to see his father whom he admired. His confidence gradually eroded.

However, it's also good that Yue Cangwu dislikes him and won't carefully investigate his cultivation level, which is very advantageous.

Changqing appeared even more dejected, his whole body drooping, which pleased Yue Cangqiong, though on the surface he feigned even greater dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, what happened? I heard you've locked yourself in your house in Diguan City for months and haven't left?"

Yue Cangwu snorted and asked casually.

Changqing sensed the concern in his tone and secretly pursed his lips. This scumbag father must have known all along that he had met the young master of Tingyun Pavilion. He wanted to get information about his much-discussed son from him.

Hehe, of course we should satisfy him.

Changqing then put on an envious and jealous expression, and through gritted teeth recounted his encounter with the young master of Tingyun Pavilion. Of course, he didn't mention that he had malicious intentions in kidnapping the father and daughter; he only said that the father and daughter had offended him, and he wanted to teach them a lesson, but the young master of Tingyun Pavilion interfered.

“Father, it was that brat with four men that made me fearless. Otherwise, I would have taught him a lesson and made sure he didn’t lose face.”

Finally, he added, still quite disgruntled, a consolation.

"Heh, you're over thirty and haven't even been appointed a general yet, and you dare to lecture others?"

The scumbag father didn't hold back at all in pointing it out.

"By the way, what does that kid look like?" After a pause, he couldn't help but ask again.

Changqing clicked his tongue inwardly. It seemed that Yue Cangwu hadn't met the son born to his true love yet, which was why he was so curious.

After all these setbacks, you still want to ask me what your son looks like?

What are you thinking about?

Changqing shrugged: "It's just a head, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Nothing special!"

Yue Cangwu's face darkened.

"Speak properly!"

Changqing: "I didn't see him clearly, I ran away as soon as I saw him!"

"Hahahahaha." Yue Cangwu laughed loudly. His son with Rongrong was indeed powerful. He scared the little rascal covered in treasures into running away for his life in just one look.

Changqing looked at his scumbag father's joyful expression, just like the Uchiha clan leader in Naruto seeing his eldest son's extraordinary talent.

If his biological son weren't around, he probably would have said something like, "He's truly my son."

Laugh, laugh.

Changqing didn't care. He knew exactly why his scumbag father had called him over, not to inquire about his son.

Sure enough, Yue Cangwu laughed for a while, then his expression turned serious.

"Is this why you're hiding in Imperial Pass City? Others are young and have high cultivation levels, that's because they have high talent, what are you comparing yourself to them for?"

“I’ve said it before, you need to go out and gain more experience, see the geniuses of this world, and you’ll know the immensity of the world! You’ve disappointed your father greatly.”

His eyes were brimming with dissatisfaction, enough to make the original owner of this body kneel in fear. However, Changqing seemed oblivious, resigned to his fate.

"My cultivation level is too low. If I go out to train, I'll only be bullied! I might as well go into seclusion to cultivate and seek a breakthrough!"

"I refuse to believe it. I've been in seclusion for a hundred years. Do you think I still can't be appointed a general?"

His determined look made Yue Cangwu's heart skip a beat. This wouldn't do. If this kid went into seclusion and stopped causing trouble outside, people would think he had reformed. How could that be allowed?

If that's the case, then the reason for sacrificing him after the formation is fully completed is not sufficient. It would seem inhumane to sacrifice him and would be criticized.

Thinking this, his tone softened a bit.

"Breakthroughs aren't something you can achieve behind closed doors. At your age, I've already traveled the world. You should go out and see more exceptional talents; that's how..."

Changqing shook his head, his tone firm: "I won't go, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."

"With so many magical treasures, you have more than enough to save your life."

"It's pointless to keep running away; my Dao heart is about to collapse."

Upon hearing this, Yue Cangqiong couldn't help but twitch his lips. "You're even bringing up Dao Heart. You're just a piece of trash who's only slightly stronger than a mortal, relying entirely on your magical treasures to get by. How dare you talk about Dao Heart collapsing? Isn't that ridiculous?"

However, this kid is not very bright and is stubborn. At this moment, it's hard to say what to do. After thinking for a while, Yue Cangwu flipped his hand, and three short swords with blue light appeared in his palm.

"This Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Flying Sword is a King-level magic weapon that I used when I was young. It is extraordinary in attack and defense. Today, I will give it to you for self-defense. Even if you encounter a King-level expert, you will not need to run away with this magic weapon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and three short swords floated in front of Changqing.

Changqing was overjoyed and reached out to grab it. He felt a chill run down his spine and realized it was indeed a fine sword. He then put it into his storage ring.

"Thank you, Father, for bestowing this treasure upon me."

He thanked them with a smile, but didn't move his feet.

That's it? It's not enough to send him out and cause trouble.

Yue Cangwu frowned.

"What? You're still not satisfied?"

Changqing still grinned, "Magic weapons are good, but they also need magical power to activate them, Father. I've been stuck at this level for many years, but recently I feel the bottleneck is loosening. How about..."

"Father, I've heard of a kind of elixir..."

Half an hour later, Changqing left the palace with a smile on his face.

He grasped the right measure, almost at the critical point of crossing the Cangwu border, and obtained the greatest benefit.

A breakthrough pill for those below the Emperor rank, ignoring cultivation level, a large amount of cultivation resources, and the Yin-Yang Shield, a quasi-Emperor rank magic weapon he used in his youth...

Changqing originally wanted the Seven-Colored Spear, a quasi-Emperor-level offensive magic weapon, but his scumbag father probably feared he might actually offend a powerful figure, so he only gave him a defensive magic weapon.

But it's all good; we've gained a lot.
