"Your Majesty, the Holy Temple invites people only once every few years, and only one person is invited each time. How can we bestow such an opportunity so casually? We should be cautious."
Emperor Zhaowu suddenly felt no more headache, because someone else was having a worse headache than him. He smiled and said, "Uncle, do you think He deserves this invitation?"
“This… In previous years, those who went to the Holy Temple for further study were all young talents who had honed their skills at the peak of their cultivation for many years. Although Prince Heng is young, he may not have reached the peak of the Profound Realm yet. Going there would probably be a waste of this precious opportunity.” Qin Jian finally found a strong reason: his son, Qin Rui, had been at the peak of the Yellow Realm for many years and was indeed the best candidate.
"If any of you ministers have suitable candidates, please report them one by one."
Qin Mu suddenly felt a little tempted; it seemed his precious granddaughter, Qin Leshi, also had a chance! But he suppressed this selfish and sordid thought; this invitation should have originally come from Qin Mo.
Seeing the court officials nominating their relatives, disciples, and students, he was genuinely worried for Qin Mo. This opportunity was not easy to seize! He was indeed the best in the army, but he couldn't afford to offend the entire court, could he?
"I am very pleased to hear that my Great Xia has so many outstanding young talents, but the temple can only invite one person. I have to come up with a way to select the best candidate."
Emperor Zhaowu was all smiles, seemingly pleased that his empire had so many pillars of the state, but Qin Mu couldn't help but feel that his smile was somewhat sly.
"In literature there is no first place, but in martial arts there is no second. Which hero thinks he should go to the temple for further study? Go ahead and challenge Prince Heng in Dayuan. The time limit is three months. The difference in strength and skill will be clear. Killing or injuring is not a matter. No one is allowed to seek revenge. Court adjourned."
Emperor Zhaowu got up and left, his steps light and his head swaying. With Qin Mu's cultivation level, he could tell from the back of the emperor that the emperor was chuckling.
"Allen, this is supposed to be an award? That's ridiculous! It doesn't even include round-trip airfare..."
Three months later, Qin Mu held up a golden scroll of unknown material and examined it from left to right. Apart from sensing a peculiar aura, he couldn't understand its value.
"All I know is that the teacher wanted to enter the temple for research that day... but he did not get his wish."
The giant elf looked at the flamboyant Qin Mo with envy, jealousy, and hatred, almost reaching out to snatch her away.
