As for the young emperor's true background, Chu Nian glanced at him and thought, "He looks so devilishly handsome, like he could bring chaos to the world. He must be the child of some demon!"
All along the way, all you could hear was Wen Wan, who was extremely frustrated, complaining. It was probably because the Marquis of Weiwu and his wife had been so disrespectful to her Empress Dowager; their contempt and mockery were so blatant that she simply couldn't stand it.
The other three people in the car remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
After grumbling for a while, Wen Wan finally realized something was wrong. Why was she the only one talking? It was one thing for the Empress Dowager and Grand Tutor Jiang to be strange, but they had been acting strangely on the way here. Why had the Emperor become so silent as well?
She asked curiously, "Your Majesty, we're about to go out to eat. Aren't you happy?"
Little Emperor: "I'm so happy!"
Wen Wan found it even stranger: "Then why didn't this servant see any sign of you being happy?"
The young emperor said, "If we go out to eat, we're bound to run into Marquis Weiwu. Even if we don't, his men will be watching us. I suspect we won't be able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest." He seemed a little depressed when he mentioned this.
Chu Nian said, "That Earl and his wife have been thinking about you a lot. With their people protecting you, you can have as much fun as you want!"
Jiang Bai said, "Yes, since someone is responsible for your safety, what do you have to worry about? Enjoy life while you can!"
The young emperor laughed and said, "The Grand Tutor is right. I was just worrying unnecessarily."
Chu Nian said, "I think you're upset about what Yang Feijian said."
The young emperor quickly retorted, "No, that's not true."
Jiang Bai said, "It's not impossible for you to learn the highest profound skills and techniques. However, I feel that with your talent, you should cultivate higher skills and techniques. I didn't want you to be hindered by profound energy, which is why I haven't specifically found someone to teach you profound skills."
The young emperor's current internal energy cultivation techniques were learned from a master of profound energy cultivation found for him by the late emperor. That master only possessed the most basic profound energy cultivation methods, so naturally, what he taught the young emperor was also only basic profound energy cultivation.
After hearing Jiang Bai's words, the young emperor asked in confusion, "What are the higher cultivation methods and techniques that the Grand Tutor mentioned?"
Chu Nian guessed that Jiang Bai must have been talking about spiritual power, and that he intended to let the young emperor cultivate immortality. This idea was correct, after all, spiritual power was more profound than profound energy, and it could continue to develop and cultivate immortal energy and divine power, unlike profound energy which was capped at the saint level.
However, since there is no spiritual energy on the Xuanwei Continent, cultivating spiritual power is somewhat unrealistic.
She advised, "The Grand Tutor's words are not wrong, after all, the Emperor's aptitude is evident. However, the Xuanwei Continent is richest in Xuan Qi. Not only is the cultivation of Xuan Qi faster than other energies, but the energy replenishment during battle is also faster than other energies."
Even if she possesses magical abilities and her body is strong enough to support her in using them, there are no energy factors in the outside air. Once she uses them up, they're gone, and she can't replenish them, which is very troublesome.
That's why she went to great lengths to find a way to convert energy, so that she could replenish it by converting mystic energy once she ran out.
Whether Jiang Bai noticed her predicament or not, he pondered and said, "What the Empress Dowager said makes a lot of sense. How about this, when I get back, I will draft a tutorial on profound energy, and starting tomorrow, I will add two courses, profound skills and profound arts, to His Majesty's curriculum."
Wen Wan asked in surprise, "Grand Tutor Jiang, from what you're saying, you're going to personally teach His Majesty Xuan Qi? You... do you know how?"
This was a bit awkward. Chu Nian glared at her. With the combined indulgence of the original owner and herself, this girl was becoming more and more unruly.
Wen Wan quickly shut her mouth after receiving her reproachful look.
Jiang Bai replied, "I...I know a little bit!"
The young emperor was also surprised by this, blinking his starry eyes and laughing, "How come you, Grand Tutor, a civil official, also know Xuan Qi?"
Jiang Bai laughed matter-of-factly, "On the Xuanwei Continent, anyone with a bit of opportunity will cultivate Xuan Qi!"
The young emperor pressed on, "Then what level of profound energy does the Grand Tutor currently possess?"
“Uh, well,” Jiang Bai said with a hint of helplessness, “forgive my ignorance, but I don’t know what level of Xuan Qi I am.”
The young emperor asked in surprise, "There are very clear standards for Xuan Qi, so how could the Grand Tutor not know his own level of Xuan Qi?" After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Then, Grand Tutor, do you think you are stronger or weaker than Lord Zhang or Lady Baili Xi?"
Jiang Bai laughed and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it a bit unfair of you to compare me to them?"
The young emperor thought about it and agreed, saying, "The Grand Tutor is right. As a civil official, he must be more capable than Lord Zhang in composing poetry and reading history. Therefore, I can understand that he is slightly inferior to Lord Zhang in terms of profound energy. To be honest, the fact that the Grand Tutor actually possesses profound energy has already greatly surprised me."
"I feel that although I have known the Grand Tutor for many years and have been taught by him since childhood, I still haven't learned even a fraction of what he has learned!" He shook his head helplessly as he spoke.
Chu Nian shook her head and smiled helplessly, "How old are you? How would you know that your tutor is a treasure trove of skills? You probably couldn't learn them all even if you spent your whole life studying them!"
"A treasure boy?" The emperor found this description quite novel. "That's a very apt description of the Grand Tutor. I never realized before that the Empress Dowager seemed to know so much about him!" He thought that his mother had previously only paid attention to the Marquis of Weiwu.
Chu Nian said, "The Grand Tutor was a regent carefully chosen by the late emperor for you. If you didn't have real ability, how could you have been chosen by the late emperor? The late emperor was no ordinary person, it's just a pity that he was frail, it's truly lamentable!"
This was the original owner's true feeling towards the late emperor. Although she didn't love him, she deeply missed and regretted him because he had treated her so well.
As they were talking, the carriage arrived at the entrance of Yundu Restaurant, where a staff member led it to a special spot.
When Chu Nian got off the carriage, she felt that the setup looked familiar, and unconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Bai, who was reaching out to help her down from the carriage.
Then Jiang Bai transmitted his voice and said, "This Yundu Restaurant is a property of my Xuanyun Sect."
"Oh, as expected," Chu Nian thought to himself, then transmitted his voice to ask, "This Xuan Yun Sect is truly a large and powerful organization, but I wonder who its founder was?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Bai turn his face away, his ears turning red.
Chu Nian was astonished: Could he really be the founder of the Xuan Yun Sect? How old would he be? And still alive?!
However, considering the methods of that ghost immortal, Chu Nian felt that it was not impossible.
A waiter came out to greet them, and Jiang Bai said, "Lord Weiwu has reserved seats for us."
The waiter became even more respectful and quickly led the group into a private room on the second floor with an excellent location, saying, "Distinguished guests, this is the best spot in our restaurant, right in front of the performance stage."
