"Show me your storage bracelet!"
When Kangxi said these words, Rong Xi, who was standing below, was somewhat stunned.
Are you kidding me?
"..."
Rong Xi stared at Kangxi in astonishment. Was the person in front of her really Master Kang? Or was he an imposter? Was this all the demeanor of a ruler of a nation?
"Ulanara clan, didn't you hear what I said?"
"Uh, yes!"
After being urged by Kangxi a second time, Rong Xi finally came to her senses, took off the storage bracelet on her wrist, and handed it to Liang Jiugong next to her.
Liang Jiugong took the storage bracelet and presented it to Kangxi.
Kangxi took the storage bracelet, erased Rong Xi's mark on it, and took out all the items inside, which floated in mid-air.
Rong Xi had quite a few things in her storage bracelet.
However, there are very few things of value.
Aside from a few medicinal herbs that were somewhat valuable, there was a large quantity of spirit stones. High-grade and mid-grade spirit stones were present in considerable quantities.
In addition, the congratulatory gifts from the Crown Princess, the First Princess Consort, and the Third Princess Consort were still quite presentable.
Kangxi quickly finished looking through the contents of the storage bracelet, his brows furrowing. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he put everything back into the storage bracelet and returned it to Rong Xi.
"Ulanara clan, can you recite the Heavenly Derivation Method?"
Emperor Kangxi looked down at Rongxi from his high vantage point.
"It should be possible!"
After a moment's thought, Rong Xi began to recite the incantation for the Heavenly Derivation Technique.
However, neither Kangxi, Liang Jiugong, nor the Fourth Prince saw Rong Xi's mouth moving; they heard not a sound.
The secrets of the law must not be passed on to six ears!
Kangxi's eyes widened, and his expression was extremely dejected.
The Xiaoyao Sect, which even the imperial court now fears, has only obtained a portion of the Yantian Sect's legacy. Now, the Yantian Sect's former territory has descended upon the outskirts of the capital, yet the Qing Dynasty has gained nothing. How could he not feel frustrated?
Not to mention Rong Xi's Heavenly Derivation Method, this method is known only to Rong Xi.
"Alright, you may all leave!"
Emperor Kangxi was very depressed and frustrated.
But there was nothing he could do.
The Heavenly Law is a secret technique, not to be passed on to more than six people. Apart from Rong Xi, no one else could possibly master it. Such an acquisition would be of little benefit to the Qing Dynasty.
"Your subject takes his leave!"
"Daughter-in-law takes her leave!"
The Fourth Prince and Rong Xi spoke in unison after hearing Kangxi's words.
Emperor Kangxi simply waved his hand in response.
Rong Xi left without any hesitation or delay.
The same applies to the Fourth Prince.
Once they left the Qianqing Palace, the Fourth Prince immediately drew his treasured sword and, with Rong Xi in tow, flew away from the Forbidden City and returned to his residence.
"Fujin, did you really only obtain one cultivation technique in the former territory of the Yantian Sect?"
The Fourth Prince held Rong Xi's waist and spoke softly.
"Your Highness doesn't trust me?"
Rong Xi did not answer directly, but looked at the Fourth Prince and asked a question in return.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I feel a little regretful!" The Fourth Prince sighed. "The Xiaoyao Sect only obtained a part of the inheritance of the Yantian Sect, yet it dominated for thousands of years, and even the imperial court was very wary of it!"
"The legacy of the Yantian Sect was truly extraordinary. But now, it's gone!"
The former site of the Yantian Sect has been reduced to ashes. No matter what kind of heritage it contained, it has now been buried by time.
If the imperial court were to inherit these legacies, it would surely shine for eternity.
"Your Highness, you said that the Free and Unfettered Sect inherited part of the Yantian Sect's legacy. Then, as the sect leader of the Yantian Sect, wouldn't they be considered an affiliated sect of my Yantian Sect?"
"Uh... this..."
The Fourth Prince felt a little dizzy.
The Free and Unfettered Sect has existed for countless generations, with countless powerful figures ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Even if the Free and Unfettered Sect is indeed an affiliate of the Yantian Sect, does the Yantian Sect still have a lineage above the Heavenly Realm? If so, is the Yantian Sect powerful enough?
The spiritual practitioners in this world are not ordinary people.
Might makes right!
If the Yantian Sect is powerful enough, the Xiaoyao Sect will definitely come to acknowledge them as relatives immediately.
Conversely, the Free and Unfettered Sect might turn around and try to seize the inheritance of the Yantian Sect...
Upon thinking of this, the Fourth Prince's expression immediately changed.
It was no secret that his wife entered the former territory of the Yantian Sect and was the last to leave. With her departure, the former territory of the Yantian Sect turned to ashes.
Given the power of the Free and Unfettered Sect, they have likely already received the news.
"My lady, we're in deep trouble!"
The Fourth Prince immediately told Rong Xi his guess.
Rong Xi was stunned for a moment after hearing the Fourth Prince's words. She looked up at him and said, "Your Highness, the Xiaoyao Sect isn't that crazy, is it?"
No matter what, she was the primary consort of a prince of the Qing Dynasty.
The Free and Unfettered Sect is indeed powerful, but surely it wouldn't go to the point of directly engaging in war with the imperial court!
"They don't need to be too crazy, they just need to make a deal with Father Emperor!"
The Fourth Prince looked at Rong Xi, speechless at his wife's naiveté.
Hearing the Fourth Prince say this, Rong Xi was taken aback. Since the Fourth Prince said so, it meant that the possibility was very high. Just how important was she, the primary consort of a prince, in Kangxi's eyes?
"Your Highness, Father, surely you wouldn't go that far? I've already tried it before; the method of Heavenly Derivation cannot possibly be known to outsiders!"
"Father knows, but the people of the Carefree Sect don't!"
The Fourth Prince sighed, "I'll take you back first. Don't take this too seriously. I'll handle everything!"
"Your Highness, why are you so good to me?"
Rong Xi was touched by the Fourth Prince's willingness to take on so much responsibility, but along with that, she was puzzled. In the past, when Ulanara was alive, the Fourth Prince had treated her in a similar way.
"You are the master's wife. If he doesn't treat you well, who else will he treat well?"
The Fourth Prince smiled slightly. "In the past, I have indeed neglected you in many ways. However, there are some things you are unaware of. But let bygones be bygones, and let's look to the future!"
The Fourth Prince didn't say much. After sending Rong Xi back to his residence, he left in a hurry.
Rong Xi returned to her courtyard, where the wall that Liang Jiugong had smashed down had now been repaired.
Magpie and Crimson stood together, cautiously watching Rong Xi.
"Madam, Granny Leng has recovered!"
Jiang Zi bowed to Rong Xi and whispered her report.
"Magpie, go and bring the person here!"
Rong Xi nodded slightly and waved for Xi Que to call over Granny Leng.
At that moment, she wasn't really focused on this. But it was a matter that needed to be addressed!
Before long, Granny Leng was brought over. She looked somewhat dazed, especially her eyes, which now looked like those of someone with intellectual disabilities.
"Granny Leng, let me ask you, do you claim to be Jiang Zi's savior?"
"This old servant wouldn't dare! This old servant, this old servant was just saying it casually, just saying it casually!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's question, Granny Leng immediately answered in a trembling voice.
