Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Peng Yingyu was taken aback and looked at Liu Futong, who said, ”Why can you recognize a brother, but I can’t recognize a brother?”

Peng Yingyu said helplessly, ”Then I should really thank my brother here for saving my old comrade.”

Yushan Shangren said, ”There’s no need for that. He and I are friends despite the age difference, unlike you other people ginseng, I just like him.”

Peng Yingyu said, ”Indeed, this little guy really has surprised us. His contributions were crucial in protecting the Little Ming King this time.”

Hearing this, Fang Guozhen said, ”Listening to you guys praise this person so much makes me really want to meet him.”

Yushan Shangren said, ”Once we get back to the mountain, we can see him. I’m sure you’ll like the clever young man.”

Peng Yingyu looked at Fang Guozhen and said, ”He is also a straightforward person, likely to fit well with a brother’s temperament.”

The three were talking, and then Liu Futong said, ”Alright, let’s stop talking about Chen Jiusi for now. Old Peng, what’s going on with you? How did you get so severely injured?”

”Yes, Brother Peng, what’s your situation? Your golden body even cracked. Did you have a confrontation with those two Earthly Immortals?”

Fang Guozhen looked at Peng Yingyu and asked. In his view, unless Peng Yingyu had taken on the two Earthly Immortals, there was no way he could be injured like this.

Looking at Fang Guozhen’s concerned expression and Liu Futong’s furrowed brow.

Peng Yingyu sighed, saying, ”Backfire, backfire...”

Then Peng Yingyu revealed how he supported a new emperor, Xu Shouhui, on Hubei Road, and mentioned some difficulties he encountered.

Hearing this, Fang Guozhen slapped his thigh and said, ”Brother Peng, you’ve been schemed against!”

”Yes, Old Peng, this matter has something fishy about it!”

Hearing their words, Peng Yingyu said, ”Actually, I also realized it. But it was precisely because I realized it that my golden body could not heal.”

”What I want to establish is a Buddha Country in the Mortal World, one where everyone is equal. But even the people I’ve carefully selected, and even the disciples I’ve personally trained, in the end, they can’t let go of power. They only use the power I gave them to do evil. How can I still believe there are people in this world who truly care for the people!”

”Truly for the people? Where is there such a person in this world!”

After Peng Yingyu’s words, Fang Guozhen spoke quickly, but immediately realized it may not have been right. Such words might further break down Brother Peng’s spirit, leading to problems. If the Dao Heart shattered, it would be troublesome.

While thinking about how to fix this, unexpectedly, Liu Futong said, ”Old Peng, the fact that you can now so calmly express such thoughts, and your golden body hasn’t collapsed—perhaps you’re already seeking other anchors in your heart!”

Peng Yingyu heard this, remained silent for a moment, then said, ”Yes, still Chen Jiusi!”

”Chen Jiusi!”

Fang Guozhen, hearing this name again, looked at Peng Yingyu and asked, ”Is this person so formidable, capable of stopping your golden body from shattering?”

Peng Yingyu said, ”My little brother is not ordinary. His talent in Martial Arts, Old Liu should have witnessed, but his greatest strength isn’t Martial Arts, it’s governance.”

Hearing this, Liu Futong looked at Peng Yingyu in surprise and asked, ”He also knows governance?”

Peng Yingyu said, ”He is extremely skilled. You know the Huangzhou Prefecture on Hubei Road?”

Liu Futong replied, ”I know, isn’t it Chen Jiusi’s territory? I’ve heard their silk is quite good.”

Peng Yingyu responded, ”Yes, their silk indeed is good. Not just silk, there’s also cotton cloth. Chen Jiusi governs there, with state-run textile factories, and more...”

Peng Yingyu then laid out all of Chen Jiusi’s surface-level policies, listing them one by one, listening to which made Liu Futong’s heart swell with excitement. This truly is a governance prodigy.

Fang Guozhen, too, knew the challenges of governance. Even his Divine Dragon Sect has only a dozen islands, with fifty to sixty thousand islanders. Yet, even so, if they didn’t plunder passing ships, they couldn’t survive.

But Chen Jiusi could, by his own capabilities, support a State Mansion, with hundreds of thousands of people where every inhabitant is prosperous and united.

To Fang Guozhen, this was almost unbelievable, like hearing fantastical stories.

But Peng Yingyu wasn’t joking at all, which made him even more interested in Chen Jiusi. What kind of person could have such abilities?

No wonder Brother Peng and Brother Liu were competing to be his brother!

Thinking this, Peng Yingyu continued, ”Before coming here, I actually took a tour around Chen Jiusi’s fief. The smiles of his people are truly heartfelt, a kind of joy not found elsewhere, not even in Xianyang, the capital of the Tianyuan Empire that I established.”

”Those smiles were so pure and heartfelt, they healed me!”

Peng Yingyu candidly said, ”Originally, my golden body was severely broken, reaching a point hard to maintain. But after visiting his fief, I found that the smiles of his people could heal my golden body. I believe I found a different manifestation of my Buddha Country.”

”If the world could be as prosperous and peaceful as the Huangzhou Prefecture under Chen Jiusi’s rule, where people live and work happily, it would be truly great.”

Seeing Peng Yingyu with a radiant Buddha Light emanating from him, Liu Futong said, ”It seems you really should consider whether to choose your Heavenly Mandate Person, or choose this one who can truly bring happiness to the people.”
