My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1078 - 1048: Lin Xiang’s Righteousness

Are you willing to dare?

With just a few words, Lin Xiang suddenly recalled his teacher of enlightenment, standing before him as a child listening to his teaching, when he asked him the same thing.

Reading is not just about understanding principles; it can also govern the nation, deliver justice for all people, and serve the public. Do you dare to proceed?

He dared!

Thus, he later became the first-rank official, Lin Xiang.

Now, hearing those words again, Lin Xiang felt his chest burning with passion, as if returning to his youth, almost impulsively shouted, isn’t it just rebellion, who wouldn’t dare?

Impulsively, the words rushed to his mouth, but he forcibly held them back, saying: "Qi Qian being appointed as the imperial envoy for disaster relief wasn’t a coincidence, right?"

There are many princes in the capital, why did the Saint appoint Qi Qian as the envoy for disaster relief? Such a task can be a pit, but managing it well is an achievement and can win people’s hearts.

If the richest man in Da Feng, Gongsun Cheng, is connected to Qin Liuxi, then it should be easy for Qi Qian to gather resources for disaster relief, right?

But why is it so coincidentally Qi Qian?

Qin Liuxi smiled: "I just forgot to tell you, the State Preceptor in the Palace has changed. Now, the State Preceptor is just a paper figure, my puppet."

Lin Xiang was shocked: "You did it?"

"I killed the previous State Preceptor, originally intending to leave it be, but the Saint was already obsessed with Alchemy. Without this Supreme National Master, there would be another Supreme, and instead of letting him find some random Taoists who would do pointless things in the name of Alchemy, go mad for immortality, or do even more insidious things, I’d rather give him a fake. At least the elixir he gets now is just health supplements, rest assured, the current State Preceptor won’t lead the Saint to build the Longevity Palace and do some absurd things."

Lin Xiang heard this with a complicated expression, no wonder the State Preceptor seemed odd lately. Initially, they were quite dissatisfied with the Saint’s wasteful construction of the Longevity Palace for immortality, as such things would create many state pests, hurting only the people.

But now, just because of the State Preceptor’s words, the construction of the Longevity Palace has been halted, and disaster relief efforts have been pushed forward greatly.

Such benefits to the people even made them a bit unaccustomed, thinking that the State Preceptor finally acted as a good person.

Yet unexpectedly, this State Preceptor was not the previous one.

And Qin Liuxi’s capabilities exceeded his imagination, who could have thought that without anyone knowing, the State Preceptor had already been replaced.

Lin Xiang was amazed yet worried, if Qin Liuxi were a major villain, she could cause chaos, let alone ascending to the throne as Emperor herself.

"Aren’t you afraid that revealing everything would make me guard against you, aren’t you afraid I’d have you captured to prevent any misfortune upon the nation and people, after all, you’ve shown me the capability of an alchemist, for someone like you, overturning the world isn’t hard?"

Qin Liuxi smiled: "Since Lin Xiang knows my abilities, naturally you should know my skill in recognizing people, would I casually seek out someone like Prince Xinyang to incite rebellion together? I sought you out precisely because you, Lin Xiang, are trustworthy and can be entrusted."

Flattery never fails.

Lin Xiang felt somewhat moved but showed no expression of joy, saying: "The mouth of a God Stick indeed can persuade people."

Qin Liuxi shook her head: "Revealing everything is to express my sincerity and determination to you. This matter is inevitable."

Lin Xiang saw her rare seriousness and earnestness, his brow furrowed as he asked: "Is it really a Buddhist Practitioner, truly intending to do something against the heavens? When will the act be initiated, do you need assistance?"

"I don’t know either, where the game has progressed to at this point, I can probably guess, but which day it will end, I haven’t yet peered into the Heavenly Secret." Qin Liuxi said: "To counter him, it must be high monks and high-level Taoists of the Buddhist and Taoist paths. If Lin Xiang really wants to help, it’s when all living things are in turmoil, you can assist the new Emperor in stabilizing the world and its people, ensuring a revival of many things, that is indeed great virtue."

She paused, saying: "Why do I need such a team, it’s based on the historical records treasured by the Buddhist and Taoist gates, learning that this person has done something once thousands of years ago, slaughtered ten cities, harmed countless lives, and at that time, he only used a magic wand to cast a spell, causing lasting devastation."

Lin Xiang’s face turned pale.

Casting evil magic to slaughter cities, it’s not war, not a battle of give and take, but just one spell, and ten cities were annihilated, what kind of Buddhist Practitioner is this, it’s an Evil Ghost from hell, isn’t it?

His hand trembled slightly, fearing what such a scene would be like, it was terrifying, exceeding his comprehension.

It turns out the world has such existences; they, the powerful people, assumed they held great power, could maneuver and control everything, but actually, it’s not comparable to one magic spell that can destroy everything.

Such words, if known by the powerful who exhaust themselves for power, they might all eagerly rush to practice some Dao, especially the Saint.

"The world you speak of seems different from mine. Though Buddhist and Taoist gates are common, they merely perform Law Field blessings, even if capable of expelling evil, they are just strange forces and gods one can accept, but what you speak of, seems like a mythical story." Lin Xiang smiled bitterly.

Qin Liuxi smiled: "Three thousand great worlds, there are actually many small worlds, the most commonly seen Three Realms are the mortal world, human world, the underworld, Yin Realm, and Heaven. Each world has its Spiritual Energy, if Spiritual Energy is abundant, it is the mortal world, mortals can then practice immortal cultivation. You consider our mortal world having welcomed a superpower."

What she could be certain of is, even if Si Luo returned to its peak, it would definitely not match its former glory; certainly, there would be suppression, hence he wants to become a god, it’s harder than before, requiring more plots!

"If he pinched a skill, then wouldn’t we just..."

"Each world has its Heavenly Dao rules, a superpower may come, but they must abide by these rules, and the rules will have suppression on them. You need not worry too much, isn’t it true that if the sky falls, we have monks and Taoists standing in front? If defeated, then we all go down together, it’s fine!"

Lin Xiang’s mouth twitched, indicating he was not comforted!

He took a deep breath and said: "I never expected to hear such a shocking event from you, I find it hard to believe."

This is much more thrilling than mere rebellion.

"I’ve already revealed everything to this extent, what’s Lin Xiang’s response?" Qin Liuxi looked at him.

Lin Xiang laughed: "If such a day truly arrives, all in Da Feng cannot turn a blind eye, and neither can we."

Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow.

"I can’t say I can traverse heaven and earth, communicating with ghosts, but when it comes to governing the nation and ensuring peace, I dare say, I certainly surpass you. If what you want is just stability at the rear, I dare to guard it!"

Qin Liuxi laughed, picked up the teapot to pour him tea, then filled her own cup slightly before raising it to toast him: "Lin Xiang, righteous!"

Lin Xiang clinked the cup with her, not daring to accept the righteousness, but if things indeed transpired as she described, then the rear definitely needed a stable and strong team, not for anything else, but just for the peace of all living things.
