Chapter 693: Chapter 697: The Second Goal of the Kingdom
Bai Ling, a tad irritated, stepped forward, "What kind of attitude is this? How can you talk to your father like that?!"
Bai Que gave her a glance, "So how should I talk? Why don’t you teach me?"
"You!" Bai Ling flustered, pointed at Bai Que, "Don’t assume that I won’t dare to hit you just because your mother is protecting you. I’m already at Level 4, yet you’re only a Level 3 Divine Brave Warrior."
Bai Que finally looked straight at Bai Ling, a smirk of mockery spreading across his lips, "Well, why don’t you have a go? Show me what a Level 4 Divine Brave Warrior is capable of? "
Faced with Bai Que’s provocation, Bai Ling felt her scalp tingle with anger, yet she dared not actually start a fight with him, as Maya’s wrath would be unbearable.
Bai Ling forced herself to look away, "Humph, what’s the point of bullying the weak? Wait till you’re as strong as I am, and see if I don’t knock your teeth out!"
Seemingly accustomed to Bai Ling’s unprovoked arguments and backing down, Bai Que let out a snort of laughter and ignored her.
Liao Li was also used to both of their bickering, and only continued to speak when they stopped.
"Enough with the squabbling, hurry back and take a seat."
Since Bai Que had never gotten up from his seat, Liao Li’s words were directed at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling grimaced and angrily returned to her seat.
Liao Li glanced at everyone again and then nodded to the Emperor, "Alright, Your Majesty, you may announce the rules now."
The Emperor bowed to Liao Li, hands crossed, "Yes, my liege."
Su Tang was trying hard to hold back her laughter.
She found it hard to understand why the Emperor, who already had such a name, didn’t take up the Emperor’s position?
Being called an Emperor while fulfilling the role of a chief eunuch, didn’t he find it awkward?
Without giving Su Tang a chance to dwell on it, the Emperor descended from above and pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
Yes, it was indeed paper.
The paper had a slight roughness, revealing an earthy yellow color, and was somewhat thick. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Su Tang sat up slightly.
The Emperor unrolled the paper, his voice as coarse as old tree bark, "To avoid unnecessary conflicts within the Wood Immortal Mansion, I hope everyone would respect the following rules:
The interests of the kingdom come first.
All treasures within the Wood Immortal Mansion are to be decided by the kingdom’s representative - Bai Ling, to be kept if they benefit the kingdom, divided depending on the circumstances if not.
In the Wood Immortal Mansion, the words of Young Master Bai Ling represent the command of the Lord. Everyone, please cooperate fully with Young Master Bai Ling to create brilliance for our kingdom.
No one is allowed to fight without a reason.
The Wood Immortal Mansion was once the residence of the Beastmen, and no one can damage the plants and trees within, for fear of disturbing the peace of the Beastmen.
This excursion to the Wood Immortal Mansion is for treasure hunting. Those who cause trouble will be dealt with severely by the Lord upon our return!
Remember our mission objectives.
The Advanced Cultivation Technique of the Wood Immortal Mansion is our primary target. The Red-blooded ginseng herb comes as the second, moreover, it’s rumored that there’s a large amount of elixirs inside the Wood Immortal Mansion - take as much as you can. There are also various treasures - the more, the better."
After finishing, the Emperor rolled up the paper, put it back into his sleeve, and with a stern face, returned to stand behind Liao Li.
Su Tang frowned tightly, her hands nervously grabbing the corner of Gaiyin’s clothes.
Why?
Why is their second target the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng?
