"son!!!"
Murong Jin, who heard the sound from inside the courtyard, was speechless.
"Dad is here."
"Let me tell you, that man in black has confessed."
Murong Jin: "What did they say?"
"He was sent by the people of Jinling Kingdom to find the Evil Eye because someone wanted to use the Evil Eye to resurrect someone. As for who that person is, it is unclear."
"resurrection?"
Murong Jin thought for a moment, "Besides amplifying people's desires, can this thing also have this function?"
Murong Jin suddenly wondered if her father had encountered such a situation after her death in her previous life, such as the struggle for the Evil Eye.
However, since my father said last time that he was dreaming, this time I'm just telling her about the evil eye in Jinling Kingdom...
If you're dreaming, you're most likely not fully aware of how the story unfolds.
"By the way, my dear, let me tell you something else. The thing the Prime Minister told you last time, that Consort Ling was a saint, is actually not true."
Murong Jin looked puzzled. "Oh? Why? He should know about what happened back then, just like Father and you."
"That's what the late emperor said about her. Consort Ling is the daughter of the Grand Wizard of Jinling Kingdom, which is also the Holy Maiden. Actually, when the late emperor and I went to Jinling Kingdom, the Holy Maiden selection was Consort Ling's younger sister."
"After bringing her back, the late emperor announced to the outside world that Jin Wanling was the holy maiden of Jinling Kingdom."
Murong Jin touched the armrest of the wheelchair.
Why do this?
Looking at the puzzled expression on his daughter's face, Murong Zhi said directly, "It's your pride that's getting in the way."
Murong Jin: "..."
"So, when you're looking for a man in the future, you must keep your eyes open and not be deceived!"
Murong Jin: "If men are such good actors, then I'll just find an innocent, naive woman in the future."
Murong Zhi: "..."
"No, you have to carry on the family line, especially for your mother. If you don't have a child to carry on her line, how will I face her after I pass away?"
Murong Jin: "..."
Forget it, I'll just take a husband later.
"By the way, didn't you go to Zhenguo Temple? Did you see the Evil Eye?"
"I saw it; it was just a very ordinary-looking bead."
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhi said, "Anyway, you're not allowed to touch it. If it amplifies your dark thoughts, I won't be able to handle it later."
Murong Jin's lips twitched. "What desires does Father think I might have?"
Murong Zhi: "Unify the world."
Murong Jin: "..."
Unifying the era? That's not something she can accomplish alone.
She can at most gradually change some things; as for the trajectory of the world, that still needs the world's people to decide.
As for the Evil Eye...
Murong Jin looked down at the thing hanging around her neck.
Last night I turned it into my own decoration. It behaved quite well in her hands, not tempting her much, nor did I try to control her thoughts.
The first time she touched it, it amplified what was deep within her, especially when she stood on the high platform, receiving everyone's worship. That feeling... the feeling of looking down on the world, was indescribably amazing.
However, this is unrealistic, and we still have to take it one step at a time.
"By the way, daughter, the people from the Western Regions were also involved in this matter. According to my investigation, there are also the remaining people from Jinling Kingdom, although there may not be many. But the fact that they can cooperate with the Western Regions means that some wizards have survived."
"The Western Regions and Jinling Kingdom are both lands of witchcraft and sorcery. The mysterious things they know are things that our Great Cheng does not possess."
"Therefore, everything must be done with caution."
Murong Jin smiled wickedly, "Father, the Great Cheng Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years. It cannot be destroyed by some small place."
"The art of poison has been passed down for thousands of years."
As for the current disintegration, it was all based on the same ancestor before, but some people just don't acknowledge it.
Murong Zhi: "Seriously, if we encounter danger, we should prioritize our own safety. Your father doesn't want to see you get hurt."
"Understood."
Murong Zhi looked at her legs and said, "Hey, these legs... It's my fault for not going home to check on them back then, otherwise you wouldn't be like this."
Murong Jin chuckled lightly, "Even if you were here, you would just stand by and watch like an idiot. I know what I'm doing."
Murong Zhi knew his daughter was smart, so he said, "Alright."
………
The results of the recruit competition are in.
Murong Jin sat to the side, watching the final victor with a satisfied smile in his eyes.
The Regent personally presented the award, and Murong Jin's wheelchair arrived on the high platform. Emperor Junlan looked at the gentle and aloof young man with a smile in his eyes.
"Congratulations."
Thank you.
When someone asked what the reward would be for the first place winner, Murong Jin chuckled and said, "The reward I would give is probably not very good. After all, it's not very thoughtful to use someone else's things to reward them."
The others were stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
The moment Di Junlan saw Murong Jin's lips slightly part, he lunged forward, covering Murong Jin's mouth with his hand, his voice panicked, "Brother, brother, don't say it!!"
Then the person fell onto Murong Jin's lap, and An Kesen quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hurry, hurry, we should go back!!!"
Di Junlan sat on Murong Jin's lap, looking at the person kneeling in front of him with a numb expression.
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, while the others wore expressions that were hard to describe.
"Ankersen!!!"
"Your subject is here!!"
Emperor Lan was furious.
Murong Jin poked his waist, "Your Majesty, can you get down now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects!"
