Divine Brilliance

Chuxue laughed to herself, placing another bowl of iced sour plum soup in front of Zong Shou.

“Prince eat this iced sour plum soup. It can help to dispel poison and reduce your body heat. Our Monster race drinks this soup when our voices change, and it can help you recover.”

Zong Shou was in deep thought recalling details regarding Monster race voice changing.

Unfortunately, the book he saw in the past were either martial techniques or talismans methods, or some ancient records that understood the god-emperor era which helped him in the game.

Although he did read some interesting facts when he was bored he didn’t see anything related to Monster race voice changing.

He only knew that there was such a thing, as for what the specific situation he had he didn’t know.

He saw a red-colored soup pushed by Chuxue to the front of him. Zong Shou didn’t think much, picking it up and filling it down.

Following which his entire face, his nose, and brows were all frowned into a ball. What the f*** was that? That was just too sour. Even his teeth were about to be melted.

He recovered with much difficulty before he silently stared furiously at Chxuue. This was revenge, this had to be! She was just playing him! She was just too evil. He had just slapped her butt several times, did she have to do so?

The corner of Chuxue’s lips instinctively raised. She forcefully controlled herself, expressionlessly moving the bowl away, her vice gentle and innocent, “Young master is blaming me again? This time it is not my fault, I told you it is a sour plum soup, you didn’t listen carefully.”

Zong Shou scoffed coldly, it was too complicated to use sign language, he wanted to use words to replace it, as Ruoshui passed him a stack of leather.

He thought to himself that this Ruoshui’s speed was so quick. As he raised his hand out, picking it up and taking a look, he froze up, totally stunned.

Until a moment later did he come back to his senses, looking at a Ruoshui with a questioning gaze.

He only saw Ruoshui frown, using her finger to point at the stack of beast leather, saying righteously, “Young master, they are all the most important!”

Zong Shou felt bitter, and all of a sudden he didn’t know what he should say.

…okay, these leather were, in fact, more important. However, it was just because the leather quality was higher and more expensive and was rarer. In Ruoshui’s eyes naturally, it was more important.

These two girls…he could rely on none of them.

Shaking his head, Zong Shou sighed. Taking up this bunch of expensive beast leather and looking closely.

This look, made him realize that Ruoshui’s action was a lucky hit.

Those officials and generals of Gantian City weren’t going all out to save money. If the matter was important they would choose slightly more expensive beast leather to record to obtain more attention paid to it.

In front of Zong Shou were most of the high-pressure stuff. Actually half of which was already dealt with by the people below, he only needed to just press the Monster king seal on it.

However, the seal that belonged to him wasn’t carved finished yet so he could only sign to replace that.

However, there were many new matters fresh from the oven that was passed to him.

“…west and north city tabulated the number of cities destroyed numbered 24326 houses. This caused many of our people’s living places and shops to be destroyed. If time goes on without us doing anything, it would affect the ruler’s prestige. Ruler, please take out 50 thousand grade 3 beast crystals to help the people and rebuild the houses! Subordinate submits the report, ruler please come to a decision quickly.”

Zong Shou’s brows raised, he even wanted to take some money from the Gantian mountain treasury to make up for the loses at Ruohai Straits. Now some officials want to stretch their hand into his wallet?

He wasn’t good at running things but managed to use his future knowledge to earn some money in Jiefu City. There might not be such good things in the future.

Naturally, he wasn’t going to allow that.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate at all, wanting to draw a very big cross on it. However just as his brush landed he sighed and approved it.

…forget it, just 50 thousand grade 3 Beats crystals, it wasn’t much, and he could afford it. Those houses were also his responsibility.

Following which the 2nd document made his brows furrow.

“I have calculated all the reward and compensation if the battle 2 days ago, a total of 3.2 million grade 3 crystals and this matter can not be pushed back. Between subordinates, Gantian Mountain matters are best split between private and public. The 690 thousand troops within the city were for a private war and not for the country. If the ruler pays for it, you will more be able to recruit the people’s heart…”

Zong Shou’s lips were already twitching. 3.2 million beast crystals wasn’t a small number, enough to make his head hurt.

Grade 3 and grade 4 crystals were hundred of times apart. Its value was similar to 32 thousand grade 4 crystals and 32 grade 7 crystals.

Even in the time of the depreciation fell for beast crystals, it still wasn’t a small number.

Looking at the breakdown behind, he felt annoyed.

Who was this fellow who was trying to make money from his pocket?

Waving his finger at Chuxue to ask her to stand behind him. Zong Shou pointed st the name on the beast leather. The little brat first didn’t understand but after Zong Shou pointed it out she understood.

“Prince is talking about prime minister Ren? I know.”

Chuxue’s Chin was like a chicken biting rice nodding,” the last ruler found it back a few years back and said he was good at running things. He found what Gantian Mountain lacks which was why he made him prime minister. Last time our Gantian mountain didn’t have such a role. Speaking of the prayer ceremony before, the prince did see him. Since he became prime minister, this Gantian mountain became exciting. Many people from different tribes came from far away to trade and do business here.”

Zong Shou thought about it and had no impression. Anyways, tomorrow he would have a chance to see him at the 1st assembly. He flipped several pieces of beast leather, instinctively touching the wallet by his waist, his heart turning cold.

This fellow was just too vicious when it comes to asking for money. What mechanical damage, what war horse damage, what compensation to the races.

He was just finding a way to ask money from him.

An official who always reaches his hand into the ruler’s pocket wasn’t a good official.

In his heart, he labeled Ren Bo a bad person. Every time Zong Shou looked at his name after that, he would pull it out and toss it to aside. Anyways he felt annoyed every time he saw that person’s name.

“Wu, a day and a half ago Xuan Mountain City lord Xuanyuan Tong was drinking wine and celebrating in the city lord manor. After he saw reports from his subordinate he laughed out loud and said that he had good eyes, choosing such a good Son in law or is Daughter. Following which, his true qi exploded and he stepped into the ascended realm. Hehe! So the old man knows that I’m the best Son in law he could get. However, ascended realm? Now is not a good time!”

Zong Shou sighed to himself. If Xuanyuan Tong didn’t ascend, he could threaten a region but after which he couldn’t help anymore. This old Father in law was of no use to him.

She looked at the breakdown, only to see a line of beautifully written words-hidden Guards commander Ruoshui.

“Hidden Guards commander Ruoshui?”

Zong Shou was astonished as he looked at Ruoshui before he pointed at the letter.

The latter nodded her head and pointed at her nose, her beautiful eyes smiling.

Zong Shou was speechless, so this Sister Ruoshui was not only in charge of commanding the hidden guards to protect his safety, but she also was in charge of collating intel.

To be able to place manpower into Xuanyuan Tong’s house but he still had no idea. The ability was amazing.

Then, there was finally something that interested him.

“Yunxia Mountain City lord Feng Nu held a feast a day ago and there was suddenly red Swift bird spreading a message. He was instantly furious and killed several servants. He said that the prince is good at hiding and scheming and will be a huge enemy. He needed to be dealt with early. He had many meetings with the Yunxia officials but we are unable to get detailed information…”

“Blazing Flame Mountain City lord Xiong Ba suddenly got drunk and out of character. He first said that the heavens were unfair to him, why did it let another Zong Weiran appear? He said that Zong Weiran has given birth to a good son and his own couldn’t be compared to him. After which he found his young daughter princess Xuan Yu to discuss. This noon he removed Xiong Kui from his position as the prince and made Xuan Yu the heir…”

Naturally, the one who wrote it was Ruoshui too.

Zong Shou smiled as he saw that, feeling a little gleeful. As expected, he had stunned everyone just as he showed his skill. Xiong Ba was charismatic and decisive. Not making a Son the prince? They were going against tradition and making his Daughter the heir was rare.

Was there something special about this princess Xuan Yu? If he was free these few days he should find that Xiong Kui to ask.

Speaking of which. since they had rushed back to Gantian mountain, he didn’t bother much about the Blazing Flame Mountain prince. Did he die yet?

He flipped to the next document before smiling. This time it came from Qiu Wei.

“The sinner camp is full and that’s a problem. The Zhenshan Pass has 3700 people. In Gantian Mountain, a total of 44 thousand are all locked up 10 miles away from the city. I will split it into 5 towns and set commanders. Ruler, please approve it!”

Zong Shou’s attention was on Zhenshan Pass at that 3700 people.

Those people who personally witnessed him use the six gods defensive knife technique to kill 2 Xuanwu ancestors didn’t disappear. What a rare sight.

He originally thought that Wujue Villa and Taiyuan Sect would wipe them out or think of a way to make them “disappear”.

They could all return to Gantian Mountain as a whole. Was it because those few knew they couldn’t suppress the news or that their fight for disciple had a result and they weren’t willing to suppress?

If it was just as he thought then this was a good thing instead. It meant that he was close to the book depository of these 2 pinnacle powers.

In the commander section, the words Xiong Kui were written down. Zong Shou’s eyes lit up when he saw it, suddenly feeling interested.
