I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: Unbreakable Karma (1/3) Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: Unbreakable Karma (1/3) A group of people arrived at the Azure Dragon Courtyard.

The Crown Prince looked at Mu Fusheng, whose face was still somewhat pale, and expressed his concern, “Should Brother Mu rest? Later, you can have your fellow disciples recount it to you.”

Mu Fusheng was about to shake his head to refuse, but hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, “Alright, then I’ll go back first.”

Blackie and Fang Qiong seemed to sense something was off with Mu Fusheng, but they didn’t say much.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince glanced at Elder Chu beside him. Elder Chu understood and stepped forward, taking out an exquisite wooden box and handing it to Mu Fusheng with the words, “This is a recovery pill of the Ancestral Realm level prepared by the Crown Prince. It might help you recover faster.”

Mu Fusheng did not refuse and after thanking them, he took it and left the Azure Dragon Courtyard.

Immediately after, the Crown Prince began to discuss some details of the military training with Blackie and Fang Qiong.

“The only army I control is named the Azure Dragon Army.”

“The military training as a whole is divided into three stages—the first stage is group exercises, the second stage is about commanding the troops, and you are not needed for these two stages.”

“However, the third stage will require your help.”

Saying this, the Crown Prince took out a sand table, pointing to a long protruding area on it, “This is the Jiulong Mountain Range, where many forbidden areas exist, and even our Divine Dynasty has not completely explored it. The location for the third stage is set here.”

The Jiulong Mountain Range can also be regarded as the dragon vein of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty; every dynasty must have a demigod-level dragon vein to qualify as a Divine Dynasty.

A demigod-level dragon vein not only increases the luck of the Divine Dynasty but also gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enrich the dynasty itself.

“Every ten years, the Jiulong Mountain Range nurtures nine dragon spirits. The rules are simple: the side that obtains more dragon spirits wins,” explained the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince looked at Blackie and Fang Qiong, his expression grave, “However, I need to warn you, the strength of the Azure Dragon Army is only slightly above average among many army units. The top-tier divisions are almost all under the control of the First Crown Prince, and if we encounter them, the losses could be significant. So I want to ask you again, are you sure you accept this commission?”

Without thinking much, Blackie immediately said, “Since we’ve already accepted it, there’s no reason to quit halfway.”

Fang Qiong then asked, “Will the other armies have external support?”

The Crown Prince nodded, “Of course they will.”

“Since you’ve agreed, then I too will make you a promise—whether successful or not, the reward for completing the mission will be given to you,” the Crown Prince said with a smile.

For the Crown Prince, winning this military training competition was only a secondary goal.

The most important thing was to gain the friendship of Blackie and the others.

After the previous escort mission had ended.

The Crown Prince made inquiries through his channels about Blackie and his friends, learning that they were special recruits of the Mixed Spirit Academy, personally recruited by the First Elder.

Thus, their relationship with the First Elder was naturally very good.

By gaining their friendship, it’s not only about betting on their future achievements but also indirectly connecting with the Mixed Spirit Academy.

For the Crown Prince, whose influence within the Divine Dynasty wasn’t very strong, this was extremely important.

The factions within the Divine Dynasty were essentially already established.

The Crown Prince, wishing to further strengthen his own power, naturally needed to seek the help of external forces.

Therefore, Blackie and his companions, who were exceptionally talented and had a close relationship with the First Elder of the Mixed Spirit Academy, were an excellent choice for the Crown Prince.

After discussing the details further, Blackie and Fang Qiong also left the Azure Dragon Courtyard.

When the two returned to the small courtyard arranged for them by the Crown Prince, they discovered that Mu Fusheng was not there.

But this was also expected.

With Mu Fusheng’s character, if there wasn’t something important, he would definitely not miss out on an opportunity to gather information.

…

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Jiulong City.

This area was sparsely populated, with hardly any traces of other people.

Between the surrounding mountains and a small creek, there was a small courtyard.

Mu Fusheng had arrived here.

Along the way, there were no hidden guards, nor was anyone there to stop him.

Approaching the courtyard gate, there was a crooked peach tree slanting by the archway.

The main gate of the archway was wide open, as if it had always known Mu Fusheng would come here.

Mu Fusheng looked around, his Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman had already been prepared, and then he walked into the courtyard, constantly looking back.

Walking on the cobblestone path, he quickly came to a garden where a woman in a simple white robe with no adornments was tending to the plants.

These plants were not precious, instead they were just common wildflowers and grasses found along roadsides and in forests.

It seemed as if noticing Mu Fusheng, Jiu Bailu softly said, “If taken care of diligently, don’t you think these wildflowers and grasses bloom more robustly and beautifully, and their scent is more pleasant than those of more valuable plants?”

Mu Fusheng directly shook his head, “I don’t understand flowers and plants. Your Highness especially summoned me here, I presume it’s not to discuss such matters, right?”

Jiu Bailu chuckled lightly, and the wild grasses and flowers rustled along.

She turned to look at Mu Fusheng, “As long as you can impress me, discussing such matters could be possible.”

Without thinking, Mu Fusheng said, “I can’t impress at all, lack the capability.”

Jiu Bailu put down her watering can and looked at Mu Fusheng with an odd expression, “Your answer is different from other men, that actually scores points.”

Mu Fusheng: “???”

That scores points?

“Should we try that again? Shall I change my response to something more common?”

“You truly are different from others, everyone else tries every means to get close to me, yet you try every means to keep away from me,” Jiu Bailu covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, curiously staring at Mu Fusheng, that wisp of golden light in her pupils emerging once more.

Mu Fusheng forced a smile, “Please, Your Highness, let’s talk about the main issue.”

Then, Jiu Bailu gave up on further teasing Mu Fusheng, nodding, “I know you’re very cautious, so I had all the people and hidden guards in the courtyard dispatched elsewhere in advance.”

Mu Fusheng expressed surprise, “Your Highness isn’t afraid of being assassinated?”

“By whom? You?”

“You and I have no quarrel.”

“Exactly,” Jiu Bailu walked past Mu Fusheng, sat down in a pavilion, and while brewing tea, she said, “Do you believe in karma?”

The sudden subject left Mu Fusheng slightly stunned.

He stood dazed for a few moments before returning to his senses and shook his head, “Believe and not believe.”

Jiu Bailu smiled, “Initially, I didn’t believe either; I thought karma was just an excuse for those lacking strength, but now, I’ve realized that no matter how strong, karma cannot be severed.”

Mu Fusheng frowned and asked, “Why does Your Highness say so?”

In the pavilion, the bubbling sound of brewing tea continuously emerged, the fragrance of tea wafted out, and Jiu Bailu’s face was slightly obscured by the wisps of steam from the tea, mystically she said, “It seems that you and I have an unbreakable karma…”
