The nineteen-year-old Guan Xi was very sturdy, about 1.85 meters tall, with bronze skin.
He had long since shed his youthfulness and was standing there maturely.
The fun that used to be there is no longer there.
Guan Xi nodded, "Master, I have made up my mind to go. Daqin and Nanyue are on good terms, but we don't know what Yaotian Continent looks like. I have awakened my soul power and want to go and take a look."
"Have you told His Majesty about this?" Guan Qing understood his grandson.
In fact, Guan Xi has always admired Princess Yongle.
He was born with supernatural powers and excellent martial arts since he was a child. How could he not be a match for Qin Fuying?
It's just that he is willing to stay with the other person.
But he was rational. He knew that Qin Fuying had no romantic feelings for him and only regarded him as a partner, or a brother.
He knew that Qin Fuying was taking a male concubine. Guan Qing had proposed it to him, but he chose not to go.
For Guan Xi, his nature is free and he doesn't want to be trapped in the small harem.
He could love Qin Fuying, but he couldn't accept that she didn't love him. If the two were forced to be together, he would rather never have been together.
Guan Xi shook his head, "Your Majesty is still unaware. I will explain this to Your Majesty at the morning court today."
"Okay. I never interfere with your decisions. Since you choose to go to Yaotian Continent, you should know that the way back may be difficult." Guan Qing's old eyes were full of reluctance, but it was no use being reluctant.
The eagle wants to fly, he can't cut off its wings.
The barrier of Yaotian Continent is located at the border between Daqin and Nanyue.
Only those who have awakened their soul power can cross the barrier.
But no one knows how to come back once they go to Yaotian Continent.
After all, there was no one from Yaotian Continent in Daqin and Nanyue.
Guan Xi is also the first person who wants to go to Yaotian Continent.
Once the first person tries it out, more people will go to Yaotian Continent in the future.
…
The Golden Palace.
In the past four years, Qin Fuying gave birth to three sons and two daughters. One pair was a boy and a girl, and the other two sons and one daughter were triplets.
Because her body couldn't bear it, she simply took the contraceptive pills secretly.
Qin Fuying sighed helplessly. It was really not easy to be an empress.
These male concubines have more tricks than the women, and she has no way to deal with them.
Daqin is developing very well now. In the court, ministers also report on the grain production in various places and the progress of preparations for building stone roads.
After saying this, Guan Xi stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Qin Fuying thought of every little detail of her time with Guan Xi and couldn't help but smile.
Who would have thought that Guan Xi, who looked like a young man back then, has grown up to be so burly.
"Please speak, my dear."
"I want to leave Daqin and explore the way to Yaotian Continent. No one knows when the barrier will disappear. And what do the people of Yaotian Continent think of us Daqin?"
Qin Fuying didn't speak for a long time, then she stood up.
"General Guan, please come to the Imperial Study to discuss this with me."
Qin Fuying left first, and the civil and military officials below began to discuss.
"General Guan is right. We must take precautions before it happens."
"But it won't work if he goes alone. No one knows if he can come back after going to Yaotian Continent."
Guan Xi walked towards the imperial study, ignoring the officials' discussions.
Imperial study.
Qin Fuying and Guan Xi looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first.
Guan Xi took out an apple from his arms like a magic trick and rubbed it on his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, do you want to eat?"
This time, Qin Fuying took it and took a bite. It was very crisp.
Guan Xi smiled and said, "I still miss the days when Your Majesty kicked me to the ground."
Qin Fuying paused while biting the apple.
She was not really a fool and knew Guan Xi's feelings, but it was impossible for the two of them to be together.
Not to mention that from childhood to adulthood, she only regarded Guan Xi as a friend.
She didn't want her friend to compromise.
Guan Xi does not belong to the harem, he has a wider sky waiting for him to soar.
Qin Fuying held the apple in one hand and tried to pat Guan Xi on the back of the head with the other hand.
However, this time she had to stand on tiptoe to reach it.
Guan Xi bent down slightly, and the slap landed on the back of his head.
He laughed, and laughed very loudly.
“Hahaha~”
"That's more like you..." The female devil.
Guan Xi did not say the latter part of the sentence. When he thought of the nickname he gave to Qin Fuying when he was a child, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The two seemed to have returned to that time again.
Qin Fuying took a bite of the apple and bit it hard, making a crunching sound.
"Do you really have to go?"
"Well, I've made up my mind." Guan Xi said seriously.
You care about the people of Daqin, so I will protect what you care about in another way.
…
Qin Fuying selected some people with strong martial arts skills and awakened soul power for him.
Led by Guan Xi, they went to Yaotian Continent.
Guan Xi rode on the horse, did not look back, but raised his hand and waved.
The group set off towards the barrier.
Mrs. Yang was never a sentimental person, she chose to respect her child's wishes.
I just don't know when I can meet her son again.
Guan Xi and others rode at full speed and arrived at the isolated city and passed through the barrier.
The architecture of Yaotian Continent is not much different from that of Daqin.
As soon as they arrived, many guides from various sects were waiting there.
A short man's eyes lit up when he saw Guan Xi's body.
This person's soul power must be very strong, and soul power is closely related to physique.
Elder Turtle took advantage of his short stature and squeezed in first.
"You are the first group of people to come to Yaotian Continent. Are you from Daqin or Nanyue? No matter where you are from, we welcome you. I am Elder Turtle of Xiaoyao Sect. As soon as I saw you, I felt that you were destined to be with Xiaoyao Sect. Are you interested in joining us?"
"No need." Guan Xi shook his head, very vigilant.
Elder Turtle saw Guan Xi's distrust but was not annoyed. He pointed at the jade wall over there.
"If you want to know more about Yaotian Continent, just put your hand on the jade wall and you will know everything. We in Yaotian Continent really have no ill intentions. If we really attack you, Daqin and Nanyue, we will be struck to death by a thunderbolt from the Heavenly Dao."
Guan Xi nodded silently, walked to the jade wall, and placed his palm against it.
A piece of information came into his mind.
The main focus of Yaotian Continent is to cultivate soul power.
Soul power is divided into human soul, soldier soul, general soul, king soul, earth soul, and heaven soul.
Anyone who enters Yaotian Continent can choose a sect to cultivate their soul power, and can return to their hometown to visit relatives for half a month every year.
All those who practice soul power are not allowed to attack those who do not have soul power.
It also introduces a lot of the landforms of Yaotian Continent.
The Yaotian Continent is divided into four states.
Dongshenzhou, Xihezhou, Nanbuzhou, and Beiluzhou.
Although each state has a king, the people respect soul power.
After understanding the situation, Guan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
If that was the case, he would feel relieved.
A year later, he would bring people to deliver this message back.
Guan Xi looked for the Turtle Elder he had just met, and prepared to join the sect to cultivate his soul power first.
And he will embark on a different adventure with this team of soldiers.
His life has just begun...
