Miaofang Taoist Palace, Daofang Hall.
Taoist Taiyuan smiled and listened quietly to Fang Jian's words. Then he turned to Yu Censhuang and asked, "Master Yu, do you think so too?"
Yu Censhuang immediately bowed and said, "Lord, I wish to serve you by your side and do my best to help Xuanjian Dao Kingdom improve its national strength and advance to the second-class status as soon as possible."
Taiyuan Daozun nodded, then smiled and said to Fang Jian: "Jian'er, go to the Jade Book Hall and wait for me first."
Fang Jian frowned slightly and glanced at Yu Censhuang beside him. He felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, Taiyuan Daozun said to the maid standing quietly beside him, "Take the young master to the Jade Book Hall to serve tea and sit for a while."
The maid immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
Then the maid walked down the steps of the palace in small steps, and came to Fang Jian with a gust of fragrant air, bowing and saying, "Sir, please follow me."
Fang Jian bowed to Taiyuan Daozun, then turned around and followed the maid out of Daofang Hall and went to Yushu Hall.
After Fang Jian left, the smile on Taiyuan Daozun's face immediately disappeared, becoming indifferent and calm, "Yu Cen Shuangqingshi."
Upon hearing this, Yu Censhuang immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
Taiyuan Daozun said: "I will give you an imperial edict later. You can leave Xuanjian Dao Country and seek better opportunities in other countries."
"Ah?!" Upon hearing this, Yu Censhuang's face changed drastically. He then quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in fear, "Lord, I am innocent."
Taiyuan Daozun said calmly, "I know you are innocent, so I will not deprive you of your title of noble scholar. You can take my imperial edict and go to another Daoist country with your title of noble scholar to seek a position."
"My lord, you have been so kind to me. I will be loyal to you. I will not leave!" Yu Censhuang said as he kowtowed, tears sliding down his cheeks and falling onto the floor of the hall.
However, Tai Yuan Dao Zun shook his head and said, "If you don't leave, I won't use you anymore."
"Why?" Yu Censhuang cried, "Lord, why are you driving me away?"
Taoist Taiyuan said calmly, "Jian'er is my son. He is more important to me than anything else. I asked you to take care of him, but you are unwilling?"
Hearing this, Yu Censhuang was startled, and then explained: "Lord, I just want to help you govern the Dao Kingdom, I never have any other ideas!"
Taiyuan Daozun said, "Take good care of Jian'er. From now on, as long as I hold a noble position, your title will be mine. Even if you have only been taking care of Jian'er and have never contributed to the advancement of Dao Country, I will not hesitate to give you a position of Shangqing in the future. But since you are unwilling, I will not use you anymore. I will retain your position of Qingshi as a reward for your contributions to Dao Country over the years."
After saying this, Taiyuan Daozun waved his hand indifferently and said, "Go away. I only use people I can use."
Yu Censhuang had never seen such a temperament in Taiyuan Daozun. Taiyuan Daozun had always been very tolerant and gentle towards them, his subjects, and had never shown such ruthless and indifferent emotions.
Yu Censhuang was trembling all over, as if the sky had fallen. Suddenly, she came to her senses and said hurriedly, "Lord, please calm down. I am willing to take care of you, even if it means my death. I absolutely do not want to leave Xuanjian Dao Country."
But Taiyuan Daozun stood up and appeared beside Yu Censhuang in an instant, "You have resentment in your heart."
Yu Censhuang looked up at Taiyuan Daozun and cried, "It was the Lord who promoted me from a commoner to the position of a minister. Otherwise, I would have died in some battle. I will never leave the Lord or the Xuanjian Dao Kingdom."
"I don't care what you think." Taiyuan Daozun said, "I only care about Jian'er. If you don't want to take care of him, I won't force you, but I still say that I won't use you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yu Censhuang quickly adjusted his mindset and emotions. He raised his right hand and said, "Yu Censhuang swears to Heaven and Earth that I am willing to take care of Master Hongqing. I have no complaints in my heart. If I lie, I will be punished by Heaven and Earth."
After swearing the oath, Yu Censhuang prostrated himself on the ground and bowed, "Lord."
Taoist Taiyuan watched Yu Censhuang swear an oath, and then heard her pleading voice. His expression eased slightly and he said, "If that's the case, then come with me to the Jade Book Hall."
Hearing this, Yu Censhuang was overjoyed. This meant that Taiyuan Daozun had retracted his order, so he kowtowed to express his gratitude, wiped his tears, and stood up.
Afterwards, Taoist Taiyuan brought Yu Censhuang to the Jade Book Hall, where Fang Jian was drinking fairy tea while reading books from the surrounding bookshelves.
"Jian'er." Taiyuan Taoist called.
Fang Jian turned around and saw Taiyuan Daozun walking in with Yu Censhuang. Yu Censhuang's eyes were a little red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
Fang Jian stood up, and Taiyuan Daozun said with a smile: "Jian'er, Yucen Shuangqingshi has changed her mind. She will stay by your side and take care of you from now on. You have to get used to it."
As soon as Daoist Taiyuan finished speaking, Yu Censhuang immediately stepped forward and formally paid his respects, saying, "Yu Censhuang greets the young master."
Fang Jian sighed and said to Tai Yuan Dao Zun, "Why are you making things difficult for a girl? If she doesn't want to, forget it. Besides, I don't need anyone to take care of me. Why are you doing this?"
Hearing Fang Jian's accusations against Taiyuan Daozun, Yu Censhuang trembled with fear and quickly explained, "Young Master, you misunderstood. I realized my previous mistake and changed my mind. It has nothing to do with the King."
However, facing Fang Jian's accusation, Taiyuan Daozun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Master Yucen, I apologize to you."
