Chapter 3219 Monarch and Ministers_1
En Ci returned an assuring smile, "Rest assured, Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a clear understanding!"
Although he was the State Preceptor, he also knew what his existence meant to the Xingluo Empire!!
It certainly was not possible for such an accident to occur!!
Having said that, he prepared to leave...
But Dai Yueyan once again spoke up to stop him, "Wait..."
En Ci halted his pace, "Does Your Majesty have any other matters?"
Dai Yueyan said very seriously, uttering words that would usually be immensely embarrassing, "State Preceptor, you are both Yun'er's and my teacher, in the past and now."
En Ci pursed his lips, "Your Majesty..."
But the former did not allow him to continue, adding, "State Preceptor, please hear me out first!"
Despite being interrupted multiple times, En Ci did not show the slightest displeasure and nodded patiently, "I understand, Your Majesty, please speak!"
Only then did Dai Yueyan reveal a satisfied expression, "I hope, State Preceptor, that in the future when you face Yun'er and me, you will no longer be so servile!!"
A look of realization crossed En Ci's eyes, but he still sighed...
"Neither Yun'er nor I wish to see this."
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a distinction between ruler and subject. The only ones who can call me 'teacher' are you and Her Royal Highness the Princess from the past!"
"On this matter alone, I hope Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness can understand!"
In an instant, a soul power fluctuation occurred, and the man vanished within the imperial palace...
Dai Yueyan, having witnessed everything, surprisingly did not stop him but said with a helpless tone, "Ah, the State Preceptor still does not fully trust us!"
Dai Yun'er, on the other hand, disagreed with this and explained, "Brother, I think it's precisely because the State Preceptor trusts us that he has always been unwilling to cast aside the identities of ruler and subject!"
Dai Yueyan was also moved by these words, suddenly changing his previous thoughts...
"Sister... you are right. However, I believe that with a few more tries, our relationship with the State Preceptor will surely return to how it was before!"
Although the State Preceptor remained loyal, he always felt this was not the same person he had known for over a decade!
"Mm, then I should leave as well..."
In a flash, Dai Yueyan's expression changed...
He asked with great urgency, "Leave?? Yun'er, you're leaving the imperial palace??"
Dai Yun'er looked somewhat embarrassed and scratched her head, saying, "Mm, but, Brother, don't misunderstand, I just feel that since returning to the Xingluo Empire for so long, I haven't really had the chance to visit old acquaintances, like..."
It was then that Dai Yueyan refrained from stopping her, "I see. I thought you were going to leave the Xingluo Empire for good. Since it's like this, then go ahead!"
Letting her interact with old acquaintances might just change her mind and make her continue to stay in the Xingluo Empire!
...
Tang Sect!
At the first news of Tang Wulin's failed breakthrough, Zang Xin and Liang Xiaoyu were also informed...
Zang Xin said with regret, "He failed?? That's truly a pity. With Wulin's talent, such a result should not have occurred!"
Liang Xiaoyu then began to analyze seriously, "In my opinion, the Young Sect Master did not fail the breakthrough due to lack of talent, but because the Divine Realm and the Lower Realm have been completely separated, preventing his soul power from transforming into Divine Power!"
"Sect Leader, what do you think?"
Zang Xin gave his approval, "Most likely, that's the reason. However, Wulin's failure to break through this time also symbolizes a very significant problem!"
"That is, it's very possible that the Sea God Tang San will no longer intervene in the Lower Realm, and the human world must be protected by humans themselves!"
Liang Xiaoyu immediately caught the implication, "You mean, even if the Ghost Emperor wants to destroy the entire human world, the Divine Realm's Sea God Tang San and the other Gods won't intervene??"
Zang Xin took a deep breath, "Exactly, without God Rank powerhouses, no one would be able to contend against the Ghost Emperor!"
Liang Xiaoyu frowned, "But didn't you ask Hall Master Guo to give that Divine Artifact to the Young Sect Master?"
That Divine Artifact was even something that Sect Master Zang himself couldn't use!
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin looked meaningful at the former, "Hall Master Liang, Divine Artifacts are indeed powerful, but using a Divine Artifact to confront a God would be like a witch seeing a wizard!"
"Moreover, that kid Wulin doesn't just have one Divine Artifact. As far as I know, he has two!"
"The Sea God's Trident and the Golden Dragon Spear!!"
He didn't believe anyone could fight a God Rank powerhouse with just a Divine Artifact!
Not even Tang Wulin was an exception!
Liang Xiaoyu coughed and said with a euphemistic tone, "Sect Leader, there's some truth to what you said, but I think it's not necessarily the case that the Young Sect Master has failed to break through!"
"Who knows, he might already know the outcome, and this time he was just accumulating experience, preparing for the next attempt!"
Zang Xin rolled his eyes, "Come off it, you always cough when you talk with insincerity, you probably don't think that way inside, do you?"
Failure to break through to God Rank usually comes with a regression in soul power rank and physical weakness!
Either case would make it impossible for Tang Wulin to continue breaking through in a short period of time!
Liang Xiaoyu indicated he understood and asked, "Sect Leader, should we make a trip to Shrek Academy?"
Zang Xin almost immediately rejected the suggestion without a second thought, "There's no need. Since the message that came didn't mention Tang Wulin's condition, he must be fine!"
If something really had happened, it wouldn't just be a simple notification!
At this moment, Guo Xiaoxu barged in untimely, glanced at Zang Xin and Liang Xiaoyu, then impolitely sat down on a chair beside them...
"Sect Leader, Hall Master Liang, I heard you two plotting from outside. What were you discussing?"
Zang Xin narrowed his eyes, "Hall Master Guo, I, as the Sect Leader, am still here. Aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?"
Guo Xiaoxu just pursed her lips, "Who's Hall Master Guo? I don't recall Tang Sect having such a person."
Liang Xiaoyu was startled and quickly communicated using spiritual power, "Hall Master Guo, the Sect Leader has heard about the Young Sect Master's failure to break through to God Rank, and he's not in a good mood. You'd better not provoke him!"
Who would have known, after hearing this, Guo Xiaoxu said in a loud voice, "What?? Tang Wulin failed to break through to God Rank??"
"He's the son of the Sea God, it shouldn't be like this!!"
To think she had even gone to deliver a Divine Artifact, only to find out there was a failure to break through!
Zang Xin snorted coldly, but did not take offense. Instead, he reminded, "Hall Master Guo, this matter has a significant impact, so don't tell the Tang Sect disciples for now!!"
Especially if it were to reach the ears of the Ghost Emperor of the Douling Empire, it might make him even more arrogant!
Guo Xiaoxu, somewhat impatient, interrupted, "Sect Leader, of course I know that, but why did Tang Wulin fail? Could it be that he was disrupted by someone??"
