Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1811 Water Dragon's Chant 15

Wan Yuyue Dan was well aware of the immense resistance to re-establishing the position of Grand Preceptor. Therefore, the position of Grand Preceptor was merely a superficial test. What he truly desired was the future successor of the Dayong Dynasty, someone who would have the blood of both the Jiang and Wan Yu clans.

Jiang Xinxin ignored Wan Yuyuedan's fervent gaze, even though the other party was blind in the conventional sense, and chuckled, "My good-for-nothing brothers are all showing off their talents. Isn't the Wan Yu clan always good at seeing the heavens? Why not just pick one of them who is destined for heaven?"

"Even if you are the only son in the main branch of the Wanyu family, it doesn't matter. There must be young ladies in the collateral branches, right? Is the Wanyu family really so old-fashioned that only the main branch can rise to prominence?"

Wan Yuyue went straight to the point. He didn't choose to kneel, because Jiang Xinxin would just lift him up, and that wouldn't look good. So he chose to sit down next to Jiang Xinxin, bring his face close to hers, and solemnly ask, "Is it really true that my appearance and intelligence are not worthy of Your Highness?"

Jiang Xinxin had no intention of becoming emperor, so she asked Wan Yuyue, "You should know that the Tang family will not get involved in the struggle for the throne, right?"

Wan Yuyuedan was somewhat agitated, "But who else in the world, besides Her Highness the Princess, is worthy of the supreme ruler?!"

After calming her excited emotions, Wan Yuyuedan said, "Your Highness, the Jiang family's fortune has been nearly halved in the hands of the late emperor. If the Jiang family cannot produce a ruler who can restore the dynasty, the Great Yong dynasty may not be able to last for two hundred years!"

Jiang Xinxin said seriously, "Two hundred years of rule is not a short time. Moreover, the reign of the Great Yong Dynasty was ultimately the result of the late emperor's sins. If he hadn't been so extravagant and even sought immortality, why would the people have suffered so much?"

Wan Yuyue tried to find even the slightest sign of wavering on Jiang Xinxin's face, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xinxin genuinely believed that the Great Yong Dynasty was already doing very well to enjoy two hundred years of rule after the late emperor's Yin-Yang Chaos, and she did not want to prolong the rule of the Jiang clan.

Wan Yuyuedan was so shocked by this fact that she didn't know what to say. Reflexively, she brought up the greater good of the world: "But Your Highness, you clearly have the ability to change the world, and you can clearly create a peaceful and prosperous world for all people. Why don't you do it?!"

"You may not covet power, but can't you even care about the well-being of all people?"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless and quite helpless. She couldn't explain herself to these people, so she simply turned away from Wan Yuyue's piercing gaze and looked down.

The Sky-Gazing Platform beneath Jiang Xinxin's feet was the most prized creation of the Biluo Palace. It appeared to be suspended high in the air, as if standing on the clouds, looking down upon all living beings from above.

Standing on this viewing platform, Jiang Xinxin could indeed see the entire panorama of Biluo Palace below, and even the every move of almost everyone below.

Tang Lizhi and that girl entered Biluo Palace with Jiang Xinxin, while Xifang Tao, Island Master Cheng, Shen Langhun and Chi Yun who came in later were simply let off the hook by Wan Yuyuedan.

Tang Lizhi came to Biluo Palace to seek the secrets of Yin and Yang, hoping to quickly eliminate the brothel and avenge Fang Zhou and Liu Yan. She also wanted to obtain the other half of the Yin and Yang jade pendant from the brothel so that she could revive Fang Zhou.

The reason why Biluo Palace was willing to let Tang Lizhi into the palace was purely because of the face of Jiang Xinxin, the emperor of destiny.

As for Xi Fangtao and her affiliated brothel, they were tools used by Biluo Palace to demonstrate its strength to Jiang Xinxin. After all, Jiang Xinxin seemed to want to eliminate the brothel that had cultivated the Willow Eyes and eradicate the source of the trouble caused by the Nine Hearts of the Gorilla. The two sides had a basis for cooperation.

However, Wan Yuyue never expected that Jiang Xinxin, the emperor destined by heaven, would not be interested in power or the supreme position. Even when he threatened her with the well-being of all the people, he could not sway her in the slightest. This was simply unbelievable!

Wan Yuyuedan could not give up the idea of ​​returning to the Central Plains, much less give up power, because only by seizing power could the Wan Yu clan avoid another catastrophe, and only by seizing power could the Wan Yu clan become the veritable number one family of the Great Yong Dynasty.

As night fell, Jiang Xinxin took a bath and fell into a deep sleep, not caring at all what had happened in Biluo Palace, nor whether Tang Lizhi or Xi Fangtao had won Biluo Palace's favor.

After dawn, Jiang Xinxin enjoyed a delicious breakfast before Wan Yuyue personally led her to the Sky-Gazing Platform. On the way, Wan Yuyue softly asked Jiang Xinxin, "Last night, Tang Lizhi and Xi Fangtao didn't make much noise, but Your Highness is no less skilled than Tang Lizhi, the number one martial arts master in the world. Were you disturbed?"

Jiang Xinxin smiled casually, "Only when there is no worry or joy can one sleep peacefully. I only made a deal with Tang Lizhi to accompany him to your Biluo Palace. Yesterday you let him in, and I have completed my task. The rest is up to Tang Lizhi himself."

Wan Yuyue felt that Jiang Xinxin seemed shallow, but was actually as deep as an abyss. Just like now, he knew that she did not covet power, but cared about the well-being of all people, but he could not think of a way to achieve his own wish. He was really in a dilemma.

The person who walked up to the viewing platform was not Xi Fangtao but Tang Lizhi. Wan Yuyuedan directly asked Tang Lizhi, "What exactly is your connection with Yi Que Yin Yang?"

Tang Lizhi couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know what connection I have with that Yin-Yang melody, but I have a bracelet that I've worn since I can remember, and I don't know if it's related to that Yin-Yang melody."

Jiang Xinxin was right in front of her. Tang Lici asked about the details of Yi Que Yin Yang. Wan Yu Yue Dan did not refuse and said directly, "Speaking of Yi Que Yin Yang, my father only said that Yi Que Yin Yang was handsome, like a god. He also had a noble temperament and high martial arts skills. When he walked, his clothes were almost fluttering, as if he was riding the wind. So back then, no one would have suspected that he was a vicious villain."

"Most importantly, he does have a unique lineage and can refine many unique pills. In the beginning, some people did benefit from them. Therefore, even my Wanyu clan tried its best to win him over at the beginning. My grandfather even became a close friend of that Yin-Yang Master despite the age difference."

Upon hearing this, Tang Lizhi became genuinely curious about when Yi Que Yin Yang had begun to change. "It sounds like Yi Que Yin Yang wasn't always a vicious person. Something must have happened later that caused him to change."

Wan Yuyue sighed and said, "Even our predecessors were baffled by this, but they guessed that Yi Que Yin Yang had indeed encountered a major change."
