Ch 43 - Advice

"Master, I'm going to the Fei Li Empire to enter their academy." Zhou Weiqing bowed to Jason and reported.

Alongside him was Shangguan Bing'er who was also going with him to study at the Fei Li Military Academy.

In the last five years, the relationship between Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er had progressed to the point where Tang Xian had betrothed her daughter with the young man.

Both of their parents gave their blessings to the young couple.

As for Princess Difuya, according to Jason's plans, she had turned over a new leaf. Everyone had noticed a significant change in her character and it also helped her in elevating her state of mind which in turn, helped her in tapping into her potential.

She had achieved her dream of reaching the Heavenly Zong level.

And as predicted by Jason, she was very jealous of Shangguan Bing'er but never tried to sow discord between them which helped her in earning a few good points in both Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er's books.

If things progressed as they should be, maybe their relationship still had hopes.

The Emperor, Di Fengling was very grateful to Jason because it was with his great plan and deep sights, that his daughter had finally displayed signs of being a good leader...

Jason observed his disciple as a big smile hung on his face. He nodded his head with satisfaction and said.

"Weiqing, even though you have achieved great success in these past few years but never forget all the help you have received from everyone. Never forget your roots and always strive to improve yourself."

"Yes, Master," Zhou Weiqing nodded his head with a serious expression.

"Weiqing, you have tasted strength at a very young age but that doesn't mean it gives you the right to exploit it. Always remember to restrain yourself... And, if you are going for the kill, then only make a move if you are sure to finish your opponent completely." Jason reminded him.

"I'll keep that in mind, Master," Zhou Weiqing nodded his head solemnly.

Jason smiled and turned to Shangguan Bing'er. "Bing'er, I'll give you this responsibility to you. Make sure this brat knows his limit."

Shangguan Bing'er smiled and cupped her hands. "Please be rest assured, Sect Master. I'll keep him away from all the troubles."

"Master, do you not believe in me?" Zhou Weiqing asked with a wronged expression.

Jason chuckled and said. "It's not that I don't believe in you, brat. But it's because I've full confidence in you that I'm asking her to keep an eye on you. After all, at the end of the day, you're my disciple. And like me, you can't keep yourself out of the trouble."

"Well, that's something I agree with completely." Tang Xian sneered at Jason before she spoke to Zhou Weiqing. "And you kid, protect my daughter well. If anything happens to my precious baby daughter, I'll not spare you at all."

"Don't worry, Aunty. I'll protect her with my life." Zhou Weiqing replied with a serious expression.

Shangguan Bing'er blushed when she heard her claiming that so seriously.

"Little brat, you've grown so big in these past few years but always remember I, your father is still alive. So, if you pull any kind of funny stunt, I'll drag you back with your ear and beat you at the center of the capital." Zhou Shui Niu addressed in his usual angry tone but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Go and study hard. And... also enjoy your school life to the fullest."

"Yes, Dad!" Zhou Weiqing replied seriously.

Ling Zihan took a step forward and hugged her son, her eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm going to miss you son. If you ever got time, make sure to pay a visit to your old mother."

"You're not old, Mom~," Zhou Weiqing replied with a bright smile.

Jason watched the family time and patted the small cub of tiger in his lap, mumbling.

"Do you still want to follow them, Tian'er~?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?" The tiger cub's voice echoed in his head.

Jason smiled and replied. "I never said that. I just wonder what your intentions are..."

"I just want to see what's so special about him that he can become your direct disciple."

"Is it not because you can improve faster in his presence?" Jason raised an eyebrow and asked.

Tian'er rolled her eyes and replied plainly. "I can do that much faster in your presence too."

"Hmm, you're right about that." Jason agreed with her.

"With me beside him, I can divert many fights with the name of the Heavenly Snow Mountain," Tian'er said.

"Well, that's true. But you still remember your Master's words right?"

"Don't worry. I'm not like your lazy disciple. I will master my laws earlier than him. Just wait and see!" Tian'er declared.

After the sad departure words between everyone, Jason suggested to Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er to bring Tian'er along.

Both Weiqing and Bing'er were a little taken aback by his suggestion with the former even asking him 'Why?'.

Jason only replied to them she would divert the presence of other Saint Lands' people who would set their eyes on them so a direct confrontation could be avoided.

A house had already been rented for both Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er's lodgings during their student years at the academy.

As for Tian'er, she would stay with Xiao Ruse who was still studying at the Fei Li Empire, learning from Cai Cai on how to maintain the balance of an empire.

Since she aspired to become a Prime Minister, Jason thought Cai Cai would be a great mentor for Ruse.

As for the deal with Cai Cai, the princess of the Fei Li Empire agreed with Jason's request with a few conditions.

Among the first was, Jason had helped their Heavenly King, Huo Feng, reach the Heavenly Emperor stage, extending his life which also enhanced the Royal family's strength.

Not only that, according to the 2nd condition, Jason would support their Royal family and help them in dire times.

Last but not least, Jason would never wage a war against the Fei Li Empire.

To further prevent something like that, Cai Cai can even increase the help provided by her kingdom to the Heavenly Bow Empire.

Jason also put forward a condition in response to hers and that was the demand for Ming Yu.

He wanted Ming Yu to join the Heavenly Bow Empire and take the position of its Admiral since Zhou Shui Niu had joined the Heaven and Earth Sect as its Elder.

With Ming Yu and Cai Cai's marriage in the future, the relationship between the two empires would only get deeper.
