"Miss, I heard that the Ninth Prince, who caused trouble in the harem, has been demoted to Liangzhou."
When did this happen?
"Just now, I heard that the people have arrived in Liangzhou City. The eldest young master and the two young masters from the Wang and Song families went to the Sparrow Tower near the Wang Mansion to watch the excitement."
"Miss, do you think it's true about the Ninth Prince?"
"Miss, miss, if it's true, you have to be careful. What if he takes a fancy to you?"
"Miss, should we disguise ourselves and dress up ugly next time we go out?"
"Miss~~"
"Xiao Cui, stop, stop, go get me some fish food, we'll talk about it when I get back."
"oh."
Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief after Xiao Cui left. Xiao Cui was originally Jiang Yue's personal maid in this life. She had saved the original owner's life several times. Although she used to be a servant, Jiang's father had long since returned Xiao Cui's indenture to her and even set up a female household for her, making her a free person. Not only that, Jiang's father also bought Xiao Cui a house and land in the city.
However, because Xiao Cui was an orphan whose parents were killed by the barbarians, she was taken in by the Jiang family when she was young and grew up with the original owner of this body. Although she was already free, she couldn't bear to part with Jiang Yue, with whom she had grown up, so she stayed by Jiang Yue's side.
Mr. Jiang asked her to address Jiang Yue as sisters, but she said she had been calling her "Miss" for over ten years and was used to it and didn't want to change. Mr. Jiang, Ms. Jiang, and Jiang Yue tried to persuade her many times, but Xiao Cui insisted on doing so, so everyone could only let her be. However, no one treated her like a servant, even though she called her that.
Xiao Cui is full of good qualities, but she has only one flaw: she's too talkative. She wasn't like this before. Later, her parents raised her like Jiang Yue's little sister, and gradually spoiled her, which allowed her to express her true nature. Apart from her mother, who enjoys talking to her, Jiang Yue and her father find it a bit unbearable.
"Miss, here's your fish food."
"Miss, would you like to go out and see what's going on?"
"Forget it, there are too many people and it's too chaotic today. If something happens, you'll have to protect me. What if you get hurt again like last time?"
"Alright~, I'm about to break through. Once I break through, I'll be able to protect you better as a post-heavenly martial artist."
"Good, good, good. When you break through, remember to ask your father for a pill."
“I know, miss.”
After talking with Xiao Cui for a while, she went into seclusion. She needed to hone her skills as she was about to break through. Xiao Cui had been in seclusion for the past few days, and only came out today after learning that the Ninth Prince was coming. She also reminded Jiang Yue not to sneak out on her own, since Xiao Cui had a history of doing so.
This world is a fictional historical dynasty. The power system in this world is martial arts, but it is somewhat different from the previous world. The realms in this world are divided into third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, acquired, innate, grandmaster, great grandmaster, unity of heaven and man, terrestrial immortal, and unknown.
However, no one has been able to break through to the level of a Land Immortal for a long time. The strongest one at present is the Unity of Heaven and Man. Almost every dynasty here has someone at this level, and they usually appear as ancestors. Some large families also have this level of foundation. For example, the ancestor of the Jiang family is at the Unity of Heaven and Man level on the surface. In fact, they also have Land Immortals in secret. However, these are all foundations, and they are all in the ancestral land. They will not easily take action unless it is a major event such as the destruction of the family.
Xiao Cui is one year younger than Jiang Yue, and she is 17 years old this year. At 17, she will soon reach the Acquired Realm, which can be called genius. Moreover, she did not receive the full support of the Jiang family when she was young. She only showed her talent when she entered the manor at the age of 5. After saving Jiang Yue's life at the age of 12, she received the full support of the Jiang family and was then given advanced cultivation techniques.
In just a few years, she broke through to the Acquired Realm. Unlike Jiang Yue, who has only reached a second-rate level since childhood and is now 18 years old, she has good talent, but she can't stand hardship and always complains about being tired when practicing martial arts. So after she improved her physique by reaching the second-rate level, her parents stopped forcing her to continue.
Of course, this happened at the beginning of this year. Jiang Yue has been here for half a year and is now at the Grandmaster level. In this world, advancement is relatively simple. With a little comprehension and enough resources, there are no bottlenecks in breaking through to the Grandmaster level. As for comprehending the unity of heaven and man, that depends on talent. Jiang Yue could actually break through to the Grandmaster level, but she wanted to lay a good foundation, so she didn't continue to break through.
The Ninth Prince that Xiao Cui just mentioned is the protagonist of this world. The Great Zhou Emperor's lifespan is coming to an end, and there are undercurrents among the princes. Everyone begins to eliminate dissidents. The Ninth Prince was framed by the Second Prince for causing chaos in the harem. After his cultivation was abolished, he was sent to Liangzhou. As a result, he died of poisoning when he returned to his residence.
After his death, the transmigrator took over the identity of the Ninth Prince, and also brought with him a summoning system that could summon famous ministers and generals. He was given a newbie gift pack at the start, and completing tasks would reward him with a chance to win a prize. He was lucky enough to directly draw the embodiment of wisdom, Zhuge Liang, who was an enhanced version with cultivation. No wonder he was the protagonist.
The subsequent plot involves establishing himself in Liangzhou, going through a series of events, and finally succeeding in seizing the throne to become emperor. He then sweeps across the continent, unifying the world and becoming invincible. However, enemies appear from the heavens after that, and 8888 doesn't know how things develop after that, because this world is still developing.
There's not much to say about Jiang Yue herself, but the Jiang family is different. The Jiang family is a large family that has been passed down from ancient times, and Jiang Yue's family is just a branch of the Jiang family. Her family has quite a lot of screen time. Later on, the main family became enemies with the protagonist, and needless to say, the ending was that they were destroyed.
However, this has nothing to do with Jiang Yue. Her branch of the family was originally driven out and had no feelings for the main family. In the end, the main family went against the protagonist, and her family even tried to mediate, but the other party looked down on them completely. In the end, they successfully ruined themselves, and they can't blame anyone else. They were used to being high and mighty and not treating people like human beings.
Although her family developed in Liangzhou City, unlike the other two families who colluded with the barbarians, after the protagonist arrived and showed his talent, Jiang's father had a good eye for investment and cooperated with the protagonist early on. He followed the protagonist to fight against the barbarians, fought for the throne after defeating the barbarians, and finally obtained a good title. Therefore, Jiang Yue didn't need to worry too much and could just let things take their course.
During dinner, the eldest brother, who had been out all day, returned. At the dinner table, the topic of the Ninth Prince came up. Apart from Xiao Cui, who was very interested in him, everyone else was indifferent. As the saying goes, dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain. The Jiang family was able to live well in this border city, so why would they care about an exiled prince? Of course, that is, the premise is that he is not the male lead.
"Father, what do you think of the Ninth Prince? Is he really... you know?"
"That's the news coming from the capital, but whether he did it voluntarily or was framed is hard to say."
"Is someone framing him? Is nobody supporting him?"
"Alright, eat your food properly. Learn from your sister. Who cares who he is? He has nothing to do with our family anyway."
