I'm so glad you've managed to stay away from that obsessed woman for the rest of your life.
Alas, my strength is insufficient. Not only was I unable to avenge you, but I was also beaten into a cripple.
Finally, they watched helplessly as the Dao Domain fell into Lin Feng's hands, and the Heavenly Palace Holy Dynasty was reduced to scorched earth.
The Empress committed suicide to avoid being humiliated by Raymond Lam, but she was powerless to stop it.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao was also deeply moved.
"Brother, I'm not worth you doing this to me. You don't need to get involved in my affairs at all."
"Since we've called each other brothers, we're brothers for life. I, Linghu Ming, have no regrets about fighting for my brothers. Besides..."
If you hadn't intervened, Father would have been killed by the Lord of the Dao Domain long ago.
Even if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't regret my decision. Besides, I relied on you, my brother, in my past life. Saying that again would be too formal.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao said nothing more and simply raised his wine bowl: "Alright, since that's the case, then let's not say anything more, bottoms up."
"Dry."
The two drank the spirit wine heartily, then looked at each other and smiled.
After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Zhao asked, "Brother, I'm curious, how did you suddenly appear in the Southern Region?"
"It's a long story. First, I'm looking for your whereabouts, brother. Second, things haven't been peaceful in the Central Plains Dragon Han Heavenly Dynasty lately."
"The Dragon-Han Celestial Dynasty?"
Shen Zhao was puzzled.
Linghu Ming explained, "Empress Song Yanran recently hired a male concubine, and the matter of wanting to make him her consort has caused quite a stir."
Shen Zhao: "Isn't this normal? What's wrong with the Empress taking a husband? Even with three palaces and six courtyards, it's not that strange."
"You don't know, this pretty boy is said to be the Empress's unrequited love, her white moonlight."
Ever since this pretty boy caught the Empress's eye, he's abused her favor and committed all sorts of evil deeds, turning the entire Dragon Han Dynasty into a chaotic mess.
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Our Dao Domain Heavenly Palace Holy Dynasty and the Dragon Han Heavenly Dynasty have always been on good terms. If the Dragon Han Heavenly Dynasty were to experience turmoil, the Dao Domain would also be held responsible."
"Then what?"
"So now that we brothers have met, why don't you take care of things in Zhongzhou for me? I've thought about it and I can't think of anyone more suitable than you to do this mess."
"Are you trying to trick me again, you old bastard?"
"Given Empress Longhan's aloof nature, only you, brother, can keep her in check."
Moreover, I've discovered that this pretty boy seems to have impure motives. Based on my investigation over this period, it's highly likely he has illicit dealings with the Xiongnu.
As you know, the Xiongnu Empire has always been the greatest rival of the Han Dynasty, although it was defeated and disintegrated by the Empress many years ago.
But they've been defiant all these years. If these barbarians were to set foot even half a step onto the Great Wall, there would be endless bloodshed. So you must help me.”
"Since Song Yanran has ruled the Celestial Dynasty for 2,700 years, she must have some extraordinary abilities. How could she be bewitched by a pretty boy?"
"Who knows? Maybe after eating vegetarian food for thousands of years, he suddenly craves meat and desires the nourishment of love."
I've never seen an empress love someone like this before; how come I never noticed before?
After pondering for a while, Shen Zhao suddenly came up with a perfect plan in his mind.
He then said, "Brother, I can help you handle this matter perfectly, but you also have to do me a favor."
"Just tell me."
“Su Yunying is the future empress I’m grooming. I think you can take her to a place to obtain a piece of good fortune.”
"Where?"
"The Ruins of the Divine Phoenix".
"You mean the Phoenix Marrow Pill of Divine Phoenix Inheritance?"
Shen Zhao nodded.
Linghu Ming was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes: "Brother, what's your relationship with this Miss Su?"
Why are you asking so many questions? Just one question: will you help or not?
"How could I not help? She's my future sister-in-law, of course I have to help. I was just wondering, Su Yunying's greatest achievement in her previous life was only the Supreme Realm."
How come you've reached the second rank of Nirvana cultivation so quickly? So it was you supporting me behind the scenes, brother. No wonder. That makes sense; Su Yunying is a thousand times better than Yu Xiyan.
If this deal goes through, I'll definitely give a gift and attend the banquet.
Shen Zhao was speechless. He hadn't yet emerged from the shadow of his previous nine lives and had no intention of dating at all.
As for Su Yunying, he currently feels extremely guilty and must do everything he can to make up for her silent sacrifices for him in his previous life.
But he was too lazy to explain, and simply picked up his wine bowl and asked, "Tell me, what's that pretty boy's name?"
"Di Fei was startled."
puff--
Shen Zhao spat out a mouthful of wine, choking and coughing.
"What did you say? What's that guy's name?"
"Di Feijing, what's wrong? Do you know him, brother?"
Shen Zhao was speechless.
He couldn't very well tell Linghu Ming that in his previous life, when he went to Zhongzhou to compete for the Burning Heaven Divine Stone for Yu Xiyan, he had disguised himself as the pseudonym Di Feijing, could he?
However, in his previous life, he had never had any interaction with Song Yanran, and had never even met her. How did he suddenly become her white moonlight?
It must be a coincidence.
Just as the two were about to continue their chat, a Confucian disciple came to Shen Zhao's ear and whispered a few words.
After listening, Shen Zhao said to Linghu Ming, "I'm sorry, brother, I have something to take care of. I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, he got up and left without waiting for Linghu Ming to speak.
"Still the same old story, you just run away when something happens. In my past life, just thinking about how you went all the way from the Eastern Region to the Northern Region to buy ointment for Yu Xiyan's slightly abraded foot makes me furious."
"Luckily you bought it quickly enough, otherwise her leg injury would have healed on its own!"
Linghu Ming grumbled as he downed a mouthful of wine and shook his head.
