Chapter 2289: Mission 20
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Lianxue had never been particularly favored in the residence, but as long as her cultivation remained strong, the clan’s elders would consider bringing her into the palace. Shen Ningyu, on the other hand, appeared unfazed by the situation, seemingly understanding that those with advanced cultivation were recognized subconsciously.
Her return from the palace signaled the near completion of her mission. As for Lady You, she had already devised an exit strategy for her.
Gu Chaoyan strolled in with an air of relaxation.
Within the court…
The Shen family, like the other noble families, waited in the palace, maintaining a near-silent vigil. Occasionally, the clan’s elders exchanged a few words, but mostly, silence prevailed.
As Gu Chaoyan stood there quietly, numerous eyes fell upon her, likely due to her being a newcomer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQian Ziang shot a few glances her way, but Gu Chaoyan ignored his gaze, acting as if she hadn’t noticed.
Before long, the Emperor arrived, his face bearing a warm smile. After exchanging pleasantries, he gazed at the young individuals before him and said, “Impressive, very impressive. You are all outstanding young talents from my Southern Mist.”
He added that having individuals with strong aptitude was even more reassuring to him as the Emperor.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” they responded in unison.
Following a brief bow, the Emperor personally descended, while a eunuch behind him held the Spirit Stones to test their spiritual energy.
As was customary, the Emperor ordered their cultivation levels to be tested.
“Second Heaven of the Martial Master Realm. Impressive. If my memory servesright, you were at the First Heaven of the Martial Master Realm the last twe met. It’s commendable that you’ve made such swift progress. The younger generation of the Zhang Family is truly remarkable,” the Emperor praised.
However…
The Emperor did not offer such praise to everyone. If he encountered someone whose cultivation hadn’t improved, he remained composed.
Upon reaching Qian Zi’ang, the Emperor displayed a contented smile. “You’ve already reached the Eighth Heaven of the Martial Master Realm. Well done. At your age, you are the most exceptional.”
Having said that, the Emperor turned his gaze towards Qian Ziang, his expression turning more serious.
Qian Ziang couldn’t hide his elation.
The Emperor’s demeanor changed as he moved on to the next individual. This time, he did not approach with the senthusiasm.
Unfortunately, this individual’s cultivation had not improved either.
As he continued to assess more individuals, the Emperor’s expression gradually soured. It becapparent that many had not made any progress.
It took a considerable amount of tfor the Emperor to reach Shen Ningyu.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the assessment, the Emperor smiled once more. “Seventh Heaven of the
Martial Master Realm. Well done. Considering you’re a young lady, you’re the first in Nanlan. The Shen family has reason to be proud.”
The Emperor’s praise for Shen Ningyu was heartfelt.
Interestingly, his previous compliments had not included any mention of the family clans, but he specifically praised the Shen family this time. It was evident that the Emperor was genuinely pleased. Shen Ningyu couldn’t help but wear a smug smile.
She had anticipated this outcome.
The next in line was Shen Lianxue.
Shen Lianxue seemed somewhat unfamiliar to the Emperor, prompting him to cast a few extra glances at her. However, he didn’t dwell on it. Among the younger generation of the Shen family, the male members had not fared well. Shen Ningyu’s family was the exception, and since no one else could bring Shen Lianxue along this time, the Emperor didn’t pay her much mind.
He did not even look at the results of the Spirit Stones test.
It was the eunuch in charge of the test who reminded him, “Your Majesty.”
The emperor of Southern Mist turned around and almost thought that he had seen wrongly.. “What!”
