Chapter 404: The Grand Master Has Arrived 9

Li Ruoxuan continued, “You’re already a grand master, yet you still want to break through further. What level is there above a grand master? If you really were to uncover such a thing, then you would be the greatest powerhouse in the world. Daming would then become a superpower nation.”

Pausing for a beat, Li Ruoxuan smiled and asked, “Do you think Northern Liang would allow such a thing to happen?”

Gongsun She was stunned. “Are there actually so many things to consider?”

Li Ruoxuan, “…” Was this old man deliberately making a joke?

Gongsun She racked his brains, thinking for a while. Then he said, “Alright then. I’ll separate myself from Daming and join Northern Liang. How about that?”

Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian were dumbfounded.

Lu Yan also could not stop the corners of his eyes from twitching.

Qi Qingyao was speechless. Embarrassed, she said, “Don’t you care about your country at all?”

“I’m already so old. I have no interest in whatever country.” When Gongsun She faced Qingyao, he had a very kind expression. Then, addressing Li Ruoxuan, he shot, “You, boy, why don’t you believe me?”

Li Ruoxuan raised his eyebrows and said earnestly, “If you can betray your country today, then you can easily betray Northern Liang the next day once you’ve broken through.”

Gongsun She, “…”

Qi Qingyao, “…” The State Preceptor’s words were still reasonable.

Gongsun She muttered, “Young people nowadays all think too much…”

“It’s not that I overthink, it’s that your request is too unusual.” The one who spoke this time was Jiang Yeqian. He glanced at Qi Qingyao. “Besides, this person is still someone who is related to that young grand master.”

Li Ruoxuan nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yeqian said, “On the other hand, if Mr. Gongsun is sincere about only wanting to break through, then he can go look for other ladies. As long as they are not related to Qi Qingyao and are other ladies of Northern Liang, you can simply take them away. I guarantee you on my official position as Head Grand Secretariat that I will not stop you.”

Li Ruoxuan continued nodding his head in agreement.

Conflict written all over his face, Gongsun She thought for a moment and then pointed at Qi Qingyao. “But I believe only she can help me break through.”

Jiang Yeqian said, “Then things have steered back to the beginning. Two words—you can’t.”

Gongsun She said very seriously, “I can’t change my nationality, I can’t seek refuge in Northern Liang, I also can’t take her away. So what do you suggest I do?”

Jiang Yeqian answered bluntly, “To be precise, nothing.’

Gongsun She, “…”

Jiang Yeqian’s expression was dim, his gaze full of seriousness.

“Even if she could help you break through, there are only seven grand masters in the world—no, there are eight now. There are two grand masters within each of the nations and their strengths are considered equal. If one of them were to break this balance, it would greatly disrupt the balance in power. This is not something only I am unwilling to witness. The emperors of the other nations also wouldn’t want to witness this.

“Even if you honestly just want to break through, just want to cultivate to an even stronger level, because you are part of this world and used to be one of the aides of the Daming Palace, you can’t separate yourself from this situation.

“We can’t treat you differently either.”

They could only consider things based on strength.

Gongsun She sighed. Feigning helplessness, he said, “Then, do I have no choice but to give up on the person who could help me break through? The person whom I went through so much difficulty to find in this lifetime?”

Jiang Yeqian shrugged with a non-committal smile.

The atmosphere in the side hall once again fell into a really awkward silence.

Qi Qingyao thought that this old man really did not look like such a deep person… Perhaps he really just wanted to break through. However, Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian’s considerations were also reasonable.

The situation between the several major nations had always been about maintaining a delicate balance.

Northern Liang was the weakest before, but due to its location in the north, as well as the legends of Qingzhou City and the Koi Temple, none of the major nations dared to touch them so recklessly.

Now another grand master appeared, and their power had increased.

The power between the several major nations had reached an extremely balanced point.

Considering this situation, if a grand master said they wanted to break through to a higher realm…it meant that they wanted to break the balance! Naturally, no one was delighted about it.

Steward Zhang suddenly walked to the entrance and made an announcement, his face long and grim.

“Missus, there is an old gentleman named Pang Juan at the door, he said he wishes to see you.”

“…”

Qi Qingyao’s gaze snapped up.

It seemed that all the monsters and demons were destined to make an appearance together today…!!

Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian’s faces instantly turned pale…as if all blood was drained from them.

Lu Yan’s hand that had been running through the cat also paused before it slowly tightened its grip.

The white cat swatted Lu Yan’s arm with its paw angrily. After Lu Yan returned to his senses, he reached out with his hand and hugged his cat.
