sponsor?
What kind of sponsorship?
Chen Zhou didn't react immediately, and Jiang Ying continued before he could, "I'll sponsor your cultivation, so that when you become an immortal, I'll be the sponsor. That way, I'll get a share, and you'll have a reason to help me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou understood; he hadn't expected his junior sister to have this plan.
I had indeed miscalculated.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
That's absolutely right.
After leaving the array diagram workshop, Jiang Ying handed the array diagram and cultivation manual to Chen Zhou, and then said to Chen Zhou seriously, "Now that the sponsorship is officially in effect, you can't just give up halfway, otherwise my sponsorship will be wasted!"
Chen Zhou nodded silently.
"Junior Sister, I will definitely become an immortal."
After saying that, Chen Zhou regretted it a little. He really just wanted to be a lazy bum, but why did life keep forcing him, forcing him to gradually drift away from the way of being a lazy bum?
Chen Zhou's only wish used to be to be a carefree slacker and live a leisurely life in the Sword Cloud Sect, but then the sect assigned him this task.
Moreover, it seems that this task is still a long way off.
Chen Zhou didn't even know what his target was.
The object with the goal written on it could only be opened by Chen Zhou when he left the South Kingdom through the North Gate and headed towards the North Kingdom; this was the sect leader's instruction.
"What else do you want to buy? I can sponsor it!" Jiang Ying said with a smile.
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing I need to buy, Junior Sister."
With that, Chen Zhou put the formation and cultivation techniques into his storage ring, preparing to return to the palace with Jiang Ying to rest. Chen Zhou hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Now that he had seen Jiang Ying, his small wish had been fulfilled, so naturally he had to start working on his big wish.
That means lying down and getting a good night's sleep.
Afterwards, Jiang Ying took Chen Zhou back to the palace. Chen Zhou was arranged to stay in the most luxurious guest room in the palace. As soon as Jiang Ying left after giving some instructions, Chen Zhou lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Logically speaking, cultivators should no longer need sleep; cultivation is equivalent to rest.
However, Chen Zhou did the opposite; he cultivated even while sleeping and resting.
Moreover, his cultivation speed is not slow. Chen Zhou can now increase his true qi value by five points per minute. Don't underestimate these five true qi values. If calculated on a daily basis, the true qi value for a day is a huge number.
Chen Zhou did a rough calculation and found that it would take him about a week of continuous increase in true qi to fill his dantian. During this period, he would also have to ensure that he did not use his true qi in order to fill it up, so this was almost impossible.
As long as Chen Zhou is still breathing, he will inevitably consume true qi, because true qi is constantly flowing in the meridians of his limbs, while the rest is stored in his dantian.
...
While Chen Zhou was fast asleep, there was a lively place in the palace.
If Chen Zhou were here, he would probably recognize many people.
Inside this small room, sitting in the chair opposite the doorway was the Southern Emperor Chen Zhou had recently met, known as the "Seeking Truth" Emperor, whose name was Jiang Lekang.
Sitting next to him was the Imperial Bow, who had brought Chen Zhou into the palace. Opposite the Imperial Bow was the Golden Spear, and opposite the Emperor Seeking Truth was the Imperial Halberd.
There was another person standing behind the Emperor Seeking Truth; it was the chief eunuch.
The five of them are considered the core of the Southern Kingdom. Their gathering here must mean they are discussing something extremely important.
"The chief disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect was suppressed by officials upon arriving in the Southern Kingdom. How has this matter been handled?" Emperor Qiuzhen asked.
Upon hearing the question from the Emperor Seeking Truth, Huang Gong immediately replied, "The Murong family has already responded and will no longer pursue the matter."
"No longer pursuing the matter? Hmph! What a display of official arrogance! Only now, at this point, do you say you're no longer pursuing it? Who's really pursuing whom? I haven't caused them any trouble, yet they think I'm protecting that chief disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect. Don't they even know what they've done?"
The Emperor Seeking Truth said angrily that he had tolerated the Murong family for a long time. In the Southern Kingdom, this family was rich and powerful, but it was a cancer in the Southern Kingdom. No matter how hard the Emperor Seeking Truth tried, it would be difficult to completely eliminate this family from the Southern Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, please calm down," Huang Gong nodded.
"Your Majesty, I know you are a guest of the Murong family, but do you really need to defend the Murong family so much in front of me?" Emperor Qiuzhen said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Gong continued to nod, not daring to make eye contact with the Emperor Qiu Zhen.
"I wonder what brings the chief disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect to our Southern Kingdom all this time?" Jin Qiang asked, his hands clasped in front of him.
"It's said to be for training purposes," Huang Gong replied.
"Let's put aside the chief disciple for now and talk about that little brat, the princess." Huang Ji was an impatient man, and he understood that the most important thing at the moment was to complete the marriage alliance with the Northern Kingdom, so he was naturally eager to finish it.
"She has repeatedly refused the prince from the Northern Kingdom, and according to people in the market today, the princess was strolling around with a strange man, and even traded a formation diagram for a cartload of gold at the Formation Diagram Market," Huang Ji continued.
“That strange man must be Chen Zhou, the chief disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect. The princess went to the Sword Cloud Sect and was in the same sect as him; the princess is also his senior sister,” Jin Qiang said to Huang Ji, recalling what he had seen Jiang Ying and Chen Zhou doing at the Sword Cloud Sect.
"What?" the Seeking Truth Emperor said in shock.
If this story were to reach the ears of the people of the North, it would probably be a completely different version, embellished and exaggerated!
"Immediately block this news! We absolutely cannot let this news reach the ears of the Northern people! Do you hear me?!" The Emperor Seeking Truth said angrily.
My daughter is getting more and more willful. I thought she would be much more composed after returning from her training at the Sword Cloud Sect, but it seems she has become even more stubborn.
Not only will it cause a lot of trouble for itself, but it could also bring a devastating blow to the Southern Kingdom!
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away." Huang Gong immediately stood up, bowed to Emperor Qiu Zhen, and left the house, heading straight for the market.
There were also many people from the North in the market, all of whom were cultivators and soldiers brought from the North.
The Emperor must quickly suppress the news, which requires finding those who are constantly spreading the information. Only by capturing these people can the news be completely suppressed.
Not long after Huang Gong left, Jin Qiang said, "Has the engagement been arranged? This girl is a real handful. I think it's best to get married as soon as possible."
