The system rewards those who tell the truth.

Chu Xinghe was still a bit surprised to hear this.

"Why?"

The Emperor's eyes held a complex expression.

"In truth, I cannot unify the True Spirit World, and there are those who will not allow it. I have been in this position for twenty years."

"Five years ago, I was in my prime, ruling with diligence, yet my physical condition still declined rapidly."

"I did not believe in fate before, but this great drought has taught me that no matter how hard I try, it is all in vain."

"No one will continue to watch Great Yan grow stronger."

"A Dynasty lasts a hundred years, a clan for a thousand, and I cannot even handle some of the people in the imperial court."

"Great Yan has reached its end."

"One must destroy to build. Ye Wuxin has better talent than me, is calmer in the face of adversity, cares more for the people, and is more skilled in warfare than I am. He is the suitable person."

"He is also the one with the most hope of leading Great Yan to break through its shackles."

"This child has a cold exterior but a warm heart. He appears heartless, but in reality, he cares more about emotions than anyone else."

"Only when I die can he lead Great Yan forward with single-minded devotion."

"It is a pity that I no longer have the chance to be a loving father. I fear he will hate me even more later."

The Emperor spoke suddenly.

Chu Xinghe's eyes showed surprise.

"You want to kill Chang Xiangruo."

The Emperor nodded.

"After the Marquis of Dingguo died, I felt guilty towards my old brother, which is why I arranged for her to marry my third son."

"Originally, she ignored my third son, even detested him, and I did not want to intervene."

"But recently, her attitude has changed a bit, stirring my third son's heart."

"Now that my third son is at a critical moment, I must be the villain."

Chu Xinghe looked at him.

"You cannot kill her, and you might even cause your third son's death."

The Emperor was stunned.

"Why?"

He believed that the Immortal would not lie to him.

Chu Xinghe sighed.

"I was originally going to leave for Ascension, but I sensed a shred of Karma remaining, which is the reason I came."

The Emperor's eyes showed an expression of 'as I thought.'

He had long heard that Immortals care about Karma.

He did not expect this shred of Karma to actually be on his Great Yan Dynasty.

"I ask the Immortal to enlighten me."

Chu Xinghe did not answer this question.

"Do you know of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

The Emperor's expression changed upon hearing this.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, he laughed.

"So that is how it is. Many thanks, Immortal."

The Emperor stood up and bowed to Chu Xinghe.

"Immortal, is the great drought in Daxing Prefecture truly man-made?"

Chu Xinghe nodded.

"Since it is man-made, there is a way to solve it. One can use this matter to enter my sight."

"In recent years, the imperial court has been constantly changing, and various factions have emerged."

"Only the Marquis of Dingguo and Marquis Zhenwu have remained quiet."

"The Marquis of Dingguo has only a cripple and Chang Xiangruo left."

"Marquis Zhenwu does not compete for anything, and even repeatedly proposed handing over his military power in the imperial court, only to be ostracized by other marquises."

"Competing does not necessarily mean competing, and not competing does not mean not competing."

"Who knows whether someone is playing the good cop or the bad cop."

The Emperor sighed deeply.

"I have spoken too much today; I hope the Immortal will forgive me."

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

"Do you trust me that much?"

The Emperor shook his head.

"My cultivation and knowledge may not compare to the Immortal's, but I do have some ability to judge people."

"The Immortal has your own goals, but I do not care."

"If you can solve the drought in Daxing Prefecture and stop my people in Daxing Prefecture from being displaced, you are my, The Emperor's, benefactor and the master of Great Yan."

"Furthermore, Great Yan is just an insignificant Dynasty to the Immortal, nothing more."

"The Immortal appears heartless and indifferent, but you have a tenderness in your heart."

"They say that we who are emperors are lonely Souls, but when it comes to our children, we always have a shred of tenderness, partiality."

"At the very least, I ask myself and cannot be truly heartless; it is just that I mostly need to play this role."

The Emperor bowed and left.

Chu Xinghe's lips curled upward.

An interesting monarch.

But the things to follow will be interesting as well.

After The Emperor left.

Ye Wuxin walked in.

His eyes held a complex expression.

And a hint of relief.

It was as if he was talking to Chu Xinghe, and yet also as if he was muttering to himself.

"Actually, in his position, the state is of the utmost importance. I can understand that."

Chu Xinghe gestured for him to sit down.

"Immortal, did my Imperial Father beg you not to save him?"

Chu Xinghe had not expected Ye Wuxin to be able to ask this question.

"What makes you say that?"

"I know him. Once he stops caring about his life, he will have no scruples, and Great Yan will fall apart in an instant."

"My Imperial Father knows that I might not move against those people, but he will. He would rather bear those insults."

"The news spread today will also ferment; he will just go with the flow."

Chu Xinghe did not answer.

"I want to stop it, but I don't know how to stop it."

At this moment, Chu Xinghe could also see that Ye Wuxin was conflicted and struggling.

The Emperor being able to do this much for him meant he was indeed good to him.

"Immortal, I want to know who has a problem?"

Chu Xinghe looked at Ye Wuxin seriously.

"There are Immortals involved in this as well; are you sure you want to know?"

Ye Wuxin thought to himself, 'As expected.'

"One of them is Miss Chang. She did not have this attitude toward me before; it changed suddenly."

"As for the other two, I do not know."

"One is a person of Rebirth, one is a person whose Soul has been replaced, and of course, there is another: a remnant of Great Jin."

Ye Wuxin felt killing intent in his eyes upon hearing this.

He was about to leave.

"Wait."

"If you send people over like this, you will not be a match. If you trust me, take this Medicinal Pill."

A Medicinal Pill appeared in Chu Xinghe's hand.

Ye Wuxin did not hesitate.

He took it and swallowed it directly.

His Grandmaster Early Stage Realm improved rapidly.

In a short while, he went from Great Grandmaster directly to the Breakthrough of the Land Immortal Realm.

Ye Wuxin's eyes held shock.

He soared into the air and walked on the sky.

A true Land Immortal Realm.

The Immortal is definitely a true Immortal.

Even after breaking through to the Land Immortal Realm, he could not see through Chu Xinghe's strength.

"Go."

Watching Ye Wuxin leave.

Chu Xinghe's lips curled upward.

I asked you to assist; assist my foot.

"By the way, it is best to capture that remnant and bring it to me; I have some use for it."

Hearing this, Ye Wuxin nodded.

Since the Immortal said so, there must be a reason for doing so.

After Ye Wuxin left, Chu Xinghe stood up.

"System, what do you say will happen if she fails the mission?"

【She will be punished if she fails the mission, though the punishment is not yet known.】

【However, I am currently trying to find a way to exploit the vulnerabilities in her System.】

【By the way, Master, take a look at the System Store quickly.】

Chu Xinghe thought to himself, 'You really are a little expert at exploiting vulnerabilities.'

Looking at the items on the System interface.

【Nine Dragons Heaven Refining Formation, growth-type forbidden array, destiny value five million.】

Seeing this, Chu Xinghe could hardly believe the price.

"System, you didn't make a mistake, five million destiny value?"

【Definitely not. Coming to this godforsaken place, is it a problem for the price to be lower?】

【Times have changed. In the Grand Void Heaven Realm, it would certainly cost more than this price, but this is the True Spirit World. One cannot favor one over the other, right? Everyone must be taken care of.】

"System, you're right. I love you so much."
