"Young Master, the King said you can go in, and the rest of you should wait outside," said the maid.
Fang Jian nodded, then turned to Yu Censhuang, Su Kuang and the others and said, "You wait here."
"Yes!" One thousand spiritual officials responded in unison, their mighty power reaching the sky, attracting everyone's attention, especially Tang Ling, who stood aside and looked at the one thousand spiritual officials in surprise.
Afterwards, Fang Jian entered the Xiuqi Garden, which was full of wonders and beauty. The pavilions and corridors were picturesque, and there were fairy flowers and herbs with bright fragrance. The sky was filled with colorful clouds and the light was scorching.
Soon, a woman wearing a green Taoist robe, with her hair tied up with a hairpin, and a Taoist body that was otherworldly and extremely graceful walked out from a grove of osmanthus trees. Her jade belt was fragrant and there was nine-colored smoke in the air.
Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Mother."
Taoist Taiyuan walked slowly forward, came to Fang Jian, held his face and looked at it carefully, then said: "My son, you miss your mother so much!"
After saying that, Taiyuan Daozun directly took Fang Jian into his arms and hugged him tightly. It was not until a cup of tea had passed that Taiyuan Daozun let Fang Jian go.
"Mother, have you seen the letter of accusation issued by the Quadruple Alliance?" Fang Jian asked.
Taiyuan Daozun smiled faintly and said, "I saw it. How many people did you kill in Yujing City?"
Fang Jian said: "This...should be less than two thousand."
"Not many." Taiyuan Daozun said: "Any Shaoqing captured by any of the countries in the Dao Court has tens of thousands of lives on his hands."
Fang Jian asked, "How is Mother going to deal with this?"
Taoist Taiyuan grabbed Fang Jian's left hand and led him through the garden, saying, "Let nature take its course."
Fang Jian felt a little uncomfortable being led by Taiyuan Daozun, as it gave him the illusion that he was still a child.
"Let it be?" Fang Jian asked doubtfully.
Taiyuan Daozun said, "Unperturbed by praise or criticism, watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard. Unconcerned with coming or going, watch the clouds roll and unroll in the sky. When I received that accusation, I was most worried about you, and I kept debating whether to go looking for you. But now that you're back, everything is fine. A mere throne of state, a title of Daozun, isn't much good. At worst, we can just give it up and retreat to the immortal mountains to cultivate the great Dao. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Fang Jian didn't respond when he heard this, but fell silent. Tai Yuan Dao Zun turned his head and looked at Fang Jian and said, "Jian'er, what are you thinking about? Don't you want to?"
Fang Jian stopped and pulled his hand back from Taiyuan Daozun. He then bowed to Taiyuan Daozun and said, "Mother, please hand over all the power of Xuanjian Dao Kingdom to me!"
