'We can't let him keep spouting nonsense like this! Sooner or later, His Majesty will be harmed by him!'
Muttering this to himself, Jin Jiande leaned on his cane and walked away...
——
Achoo!
Inside the Imperial Preceptor's residence, the white-bearded old Taoist priest, who was sitting calmly on a futon, suddenly shuddered and sneezed loudly.
He slowly opened his eyes, then trembled three more times.
Then he touched his right hand with his left, then his left hand with his right, and then his neck and back. After groping around for a while, he smacked his lips and shook his head.
Then, he flicked his whisk and shouted.
"Myoboku, Myoboku!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person came running in from outside the door.
"Master has arrived!"
"Master, is there anything you need me to do?" Miaomu asked, raising his face.
"Come here." The white-bearded old Taoist beckoned to Myoboku, who walked over in confusion.
The white-bearded old Taoist priest pressed his lips to Miaomu's ear and then whispered something.
Myoboku's eyes widened in surprise, and he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

"Do I need to coax you? Huh? Have I ever lied to you?"
"As your teacher, I always mean what I say!"
Myoboku looked at him with disbelief, and asked again, "Master...you really want to...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the white-bearded old Taoist priest said leisurely, "Yes, it will begin on the day of the full moon."
"No need to say anything more, you may leave."
Myoboku nodded, a happy expression appearing on his face.
"Thank you, Master!"
Stepping outside, Myoboku clapped his hands excitedly.
"My master is finally going to pass on his mantle to me, heh!"
He left with a grin.

Qin Ze began exchanging for naval resources.
