Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass
463 A Royal Decree 8
"This is not about losing, it's about confidence, don't you get it?! No one dares to touch Northern Liang now that they have a powerhouse who is above a grand master. They have evolved abruptly from a little quail that would never dare bite anyone into a big tiger that no one dares to touch!
"Dazhou in the west has always been a little ignorant about the world since it's located in the West region. But I think this time, they would also be nervous.
"Grand masters are considered very powerful entities to begin with on this continent. To be above a grand master...I can't imagine what they would be capable of."
"If you can't imagine it, who can?"
Everyone felt overwhelmed about this.
Grand masters were known to be able to challenge an entire city with their power. Now people were saying that there was someone who was more powerful than a grand master? Just what level were they on? No one could imagine it!
…
…
Eastern Ling.
Imperial Palace.
Upper study.
A middle-aged man, who looked particularly intimidating to the eyes of outsiders, now looked like a lunatic who had lost his mind. He kept clenching his hands into fists as he paced the upper study. He seemed to be having an anxiety disorder.
He was constantly murmuring to himself.
"I have misjudged. I've misjudged."
There was only one person in front of the emperor of Eastern Ling, and that was Gu Wenyan, the current prime minister.
"Your Majesty..." Gu Wenyan stood there motionlessly, his gaze lowered while trying to cut in.
The emperor of Eastern Ling halted his steps quickly. His eyes were wide as he said with an air of panic, "Wenyan, my dear minister, do you think Northern Liang will take this opportunity to counterattack us?"
"Your Majesty!" Gu Wenyan could not help trying to cut across him once more but again failed.
The emperor of Eastern Ling said seriously, "Wenyan, my dear minister, will my country be part of Northern Liang's?"
Gu Wenyan lowered his head and replied calmly, "No, it won't, Your Majesty."
How could that not be the case? The emperor of Eastern Ling said angrily, "Wenyan, my dear minister, my country is done for!"
Gu Wenyan rubbed his temples helplessly and exclaimed heavily, "Your Majesty!!!"
After being yelled at by his official, the Eastern Ling emperor suddenly felt like cursing, but after looking at his prime minister's stern appearance, he knew that the other was losing his temper. He sighed and kept silent, but his features still showed his anxiety.
Gu Wenyan said consolingly, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
In an instant, the emperor of Eastern Ling felt as if he had been lit aflame with gunpowder. "How am I to calm down?! Tell me, how am I to calm down!! We're talking about Pang Juan! One of the two strategic weapons of Eastern Ling! He just got killed by a young grand master!! I heard that in just a short time, not only did Pang Juan die but that old man Gongsun She from Daming had also been heavily injured and is now missing! Things are already like this and you're asking me to calm down? In case… in case that young grand master infiltrates the Daxing Palace and assassinates me, what would happen then?"
"Your Majesty, calm down! Calm down!" Gu Wenyan's tone was very composed.
His voice felt like a basin of cold water that was poured over the Eastern Ling emperor's head. It rendered him quiet for a moment before he croaked, "Can I be calm?"
"You can." Gu Wenyan's eyes were calm and collected as he said, "For the time being, please listen to this humble servant's analysis of the situation."
"..." The Eastern Ling emperor did not move, still nervous.
"Your Majesty, please sit down first." Gu Wenyan automatically approached and guided the emperor, who had seemingly lost his mind from anxiety, to sit down on the dragon throne.
"..." Although he was sitting down, the Eastern Ling emperor's expression was still as restless as before.
After Gu Wenyan retreated, he then pondered for a moment before saying, "While Northern Liang has a young grand master who exceeds grand masters, based on the report from the investigation conducted by the Zhaixing Administration—which we spent a huge sum on—it is said that the powerhouse in question only follows one little lady and does not serve the imperial court." This was a very important point for Eastern Ling.
"Is that true?" the emperor asked. He seemed to recall seeing that report before but since he had been too anxious about the young grand master, he did not think about it carefully.
Gu Wenyan replied, "The report from the Zhaixing Administration can't be wrong. Furthermore, if the young grand master was determined to counter us, or if he was used by the Northern Liang Imperial court and obeyed the little empress's decrees, then he should have already stepped into the capital and carried out his assignments by now. If that was the case, how could someone like him suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
"That's right, how could he suddenly appear out of nowhere?" The emperor of Eastern Ling muttered to himself dully.
Gu Wenyan contemplated for a bit before answering the question. "This humble servant thinks that, maybe his powers had not been at such a high level as he displayed recently. Your Majesty, think about it carefully. He is now above the grand master level, indicating that he had already reached grand mastership long ago. However, he hasn't shown his face on the mainland. That is enough information. Based on my intuition, this young man probably would not involve himself in the competitive affairs between the various nations on the mainland."
"Wenyan, my dear minister, I suddenly have a theory." The emperor of Eastern Ling suddenly rose to his feet.
Gu Wenyan said cautiously, "Your Majesty, please share it."
The Eastern Ling emperor's eyes flickered with cold light. "Could this young man be someone who was secretly cultivated by the Ghost Organization?"
"...?" Gu Wenyan was stunned for a moment.
After the Eastern Ling emperor got up, he walked away from the desk area and began pacing. His gaze was deep and quiet, his voice calm now. "I have read the information on this young grand master, and now combined with what you just said, we must consider that there are four major nations and several minor nations in the world. Disregarding those minor nations, who has the ability to ascend a grand master just amongst the four major nations? If there is such a person, there is no reason for the other grand masters to continue remaining where they are. Wenyan, my dear minister, as you said, it seems impossible that the young grand master was sent by the little empress..."
"But the Ghost Organization…" Gu Wenyan felt it was unlikely.
The Eastern Ling emperor said, "The Ghost Organization has always secretly had a grasp on the intelligence in the entire continent, and the Zhaixing Administration has eyes and ears everywhere. With this kind of resources, it doesn't seem unusual that they could produce a powerhouse above a grand master level."
"Your Majesty makes a point." Gu Wenyan was swayed by his Majesty's words and also began thinking. "If they really are of Northern Liang, there is no reason for them to remain in Qingzhou City and not come forward to the capital to report. This doesn't make sense."
The emperor of Eastern Ling had this "my dear minister understands me" expression and continued, "If he belongs to the Ghost Organization, then it all makes sense. The Ghost Organization takes the position of an observer of the entire continent. They have long possessed the strength to subvert the four major nations, but have never made a move, content with being a dark empire...
After saying this, the Eastern Ling emperor sighed heavily.
He privately thought that this was also the reason why the four major nations were jealous of the Ghost Organization.
The organization had the power to overthrow an entire dynasty at any time, but they would rather be a hand in the dark on the mainland.
The Eastern Ling emperor thought that it would be great if Eastern Ling had the Ghost Organization's resources. They would then be able to take advantage of their troops and conquer the other three major nations within three months…!
What a pity.
There were no "what ifs" in the world.
The three halls and four administrations of the Ghost Organization were so secretive that they had never revealed themselves, let alone be the ghost organization of legend.
Nobody in the world knew the specific location of Wushuang City where the Ghost Organization was located…
The moment he thought of this.
The emperor of Eastern Ling felt that the Ghost Organization was so terrifying and mysterious that it could put anyone on edge.
Meanwhile, Si Jin was sitting by the lake in the back courtyard of the Qi Residence. He was carrying the fat little snow-white cat in his arms.
The white cat laid on the youth's legs, slapping the youth's arm with its tail lazily.
It was slapping him so casually that it might not even know it was doing it.
It looked very comfortable.
Si Jin stared at the water in the pond and suddenly felt like playing. He looked all around and confirmed that there was no one there.
He walked to one side.
Then he jumped into the water with his clothes on.
The white cat was also brought into the water without it realizing.
It splashed around for a bit before it was thrown to the shore by the youth.
After the white cat was back on solid ground, it shook the water droplets off its body a few times and glanced at the boy, as if it was complaining.
A few young male servants were on their way to feed the horses in the stables in the backyard. They were shocked when they saw the youth swimming in the pond. They were thinking about how it was just the beginning of spring and the weather was cold.
The young grand master was indeed a person who had cultivated.
He was not afraid of the cold!
However, when the young male servants caught sight of the white cat on the shore, they were stunned for a moment.
Was that cat not the master's?
It used to never leave the master's shadow. Now the boy and cat were so close with one another.
Sigh.
Morale was surely declining day by day.
It was not just people who tried to win the favor of the powerful.
These days, even cats…
Sigh.
Sigh!
