She must be ready to send someone to the North Continent to provide support at any time.
Yue Wuyan and Shen Rongrong did not come; they were helping Bai Ying with court affairs and building a defense system.
Yue Qingling was not in a hurry to see them.
With Long Qilan by his side, he finally flew to Fengming County, the capital of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom.
...
The Fire Phoenix Kingdom of the Northern Continent is now nothing but a quagmire.
Even with Di Zhengchen, a Human King Realm expert, leading the team, they were still hampered by various interests after arriving in Fengming County.
As Yue Qingling said, cutting through the Gordian knot is the simplest solution.
If you follow their line of thinking and try to judge who is right and who is wrong, you will eventually fall into their trap and start arguing about the relationships involved.
However, these relationships are not easily explained.
For example, Crown Prince Qin Yingzhong believed that as a prince, he was born to be the heir.
From a bloodline perspective, this is absolutely correct.
However, Han Bingqing stated that the cultivation world cannot be based solely on bloodline.
The virtuous should occupy the position!
Now that a crisis is imminent, is it more suitable for His Majesty to be a pure-blooded good-for-nothing or a decisive and efficient empress?
This is just the most basic problem; the other contradictions are an even bigger mess.
In the few days since Yue Qingling arrived in Fengming County, she has accompanied Di Zhengchen to court to meet Qin Ji, visited Crown Prince Qin Yingzhong, and finally met with Crown Princess Han Bingqing, who is at odds with the Crown Prince.
Then he discovered that even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, and he simply couldn't decide who to help.
So he completely gave up participating, hid in the embassy to play chess with Guo Feng, and braced himself for Di Lao's instructions.
He was hoping for one thing: that Di Zhengchen would quickly realize that there was absolutely no solution to this messy factional strife.
Only when a large army is pressing in and countless lives are lost will they set aside their prejudices.
"Brother Yue, you've lost again."
Yue Qingling was pondering who the most skilled individuals were in the Fire Phoenix Kingdom when Guo Feng once again seized the initiative.
He looked down at the black and white chess pieces; his momentum had been cut off by Guo Feng, and there was no chance of a comeback.
He reluctantly put down the chess piece and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty's chess skills are indeed superb."
Upon arriving at the embassy, he found Guo Feng, who was there slacking off.
Yue Qingling wasn't particularly surprised.
After all, he understood Guo Feng's embarrassment.
The partisan struggle is too complicated and too difficult to navigate.
Guo Feng couldn't very well turn back now; going back empty-handed would be incredibly embarrassing.
As a result, he entered a vicious cycle: the longer he stayed there, the less he wanted to go back.
Moreover, in matters of factional strife, there is always a glimmer of hope that makes Guo Feng want to stay and see how things go.
But in the end, after countless struggles, he discovered that the Fire Phoenix Kingdom's court was in a dynamic balance.
Some say that Han Bingqing is exceptionally capable and suitable to be an empress.
Some say that His Highness the Crown Prince is calm and composed, making him the most suitable successor to the throne.
But Guo Feng believes that the most formidable one is still that immortal old man, Qin Ji.
Despite his sickly appearance and seemingly dying look, he is actually quite adept at maintaining balance.
Guo Feng chuckled as he put the chess pieces away, a hint of melancholy on his face: "I've been here for so long, and all I know how to do is play chess, nothing else."
It must be said that humans are indeed better at playing chess than we demons.
My chess skills are still far from good enough.
The most skilled chess player in the Fire Phoenix Kingdom must be Qin Ji.
Yue Qingling didn't really want to deal with Guo Feng.
He felt awkward whenever he saw Guo Feng.
It's so cold outside, yet he still knitted a bright green hat for Guo Feng. He's so kind-hearted.
Therefore, he was somewhat reserved when he spoke.
He said softly, "Your Majesty, do you think we should just keep dragging this on?"
Empress Ziqing has said that invaders will soon arrive in the Northern Continent.
"Hehe, sigh, there's a saying among humans that I've heard countless times in the Northern Continent, and now I'll pass it on to you."
Guo Feng said slowly and deliberately.
He smiled and said, "Whenever I'm about to advise the court officials, they tell me this."
The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.
This sentence is so classic. Every time I hear it, I think the person who invented it was a genius.
Whoever is in a hurry is a eunuch!
One sentence and you're completely shut down.
You know, I'm not a eunuch, so I've really learned to be calm and composed.
I now feel that North Continent should remain in this state of chaos.
If things don't get chaotic, it would be a disservice to the officials who told me that.
Yue Qingling: "Uh..."
It seems that Guo Feng really ran into a brick wall in Beizhou.
"Also, don't even think about using force this year."
He Weihan, the Grand Preceptor of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, is at the Heavenly Cultivation Ascension Realm, just one step away from the Saint Realm.
She's a spinster; no matter what you do, she'll object.
There's no other reason than that you're not from the North Continent.
Why.
Brother Yue, I advise you to wait patiently. At least, Elder Di is here now, isn't he?
Guo Feng offered his helpless advice.
Yue Qingling had no choice.
He originally wanted to find a place to practice, but Guo Feng was now addicted to playing chess and insisted on dragging him to continue playing.
Yue Qingling couldn't refuse, and could only suffer unbearable torment at the hands of Guo Feng.
He told himself to be patient.
Consider it compensation to Guo Feng.
But at that moment, Long Qilan walked over quickly.
She approached Yue Qingling and whispered, "Don't go down, Crown Princess Han Bingqing is looking for you."
Yue Qingling immediately perked up and hurriedly said to Guo Feng, "Your Majesty, I'll go see what's going on and what the Crown Princess is up to!"
He fled in panic with Long Qilan.
Guo Feng was left speechless, saying, "It's no use even if you see her. The Crown Princess is a germaphobe, and you can't seduce her anyway."
Guo Feng then began playing chess against himself.
He has tried every possible method; he has truly done his best.
That's just fate.
The Western Continent enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests throughout the year, and no invaders appeared.
His wife, Li Wan, was understanding and wrote to him, telling him to focus on his work and career and not to worry about things at home.
She stayed at home and diligently cultivated herself while raising her daughter, Guo Mingwu.
As for her adopted younger sister, Hei Miao, she had already reached the Taiyi realm of Heavenly Cultivation, making her arguably the number one saintess of the demon race.
He really had no reason to go back.
Guo Feng seems like a husband who goes out to work, but doesn't know what to do when he comes home.
Fortunately, he learned to play chess in the North Continent.
He thought this hobby was good, better than fishing.
Several of his elders are now spending their days fishing in the moat; they're really neglecting their duties.
...
Yue Qingling led Long Qilan to the reception room.
Then I saw Han Bingqing, dressed in a bright and beautiful outfit, sitting quietly in a chair.
She exuded a powerful aura and looked radiant.
It is even more powerful than those in the Sacred Land of the Extreme Path.
Yue Qingling greeted him politely, and he sat down casually, asking, "What brings Sect Leader Han to see me?"
