Legend of Swordsman

5750 The Gentle Ruler

However, Patriarch Yanlong was not surprised; he was not swayed by that charming tenderness, his gaze holding a hint of respect amidst its kindness.

But in his mind, he recalled the era of yore.

The current Empress Fengchen, back when she just stepped into Immortality, had undergone little change from then till now.

They were all in the Tribulation Realm.

When he first met this ruler, she was still a little girl.

The second time they met, Empress Fengchen and she had become inseparable friends.

The last time they met, she tearfully begged him.

Seeing her again now, freewēbnoveℓ.com

Merited respectful treatment.

“Your Majesty!” Patriarch Yanlong rose and paid his respects.

Jian Wushuang and Jincheng behind him also bowed in respect.

Jian Wushuang secretly rejoiced in his heart, still awaiting the summon of this ruler.

But when the ruler approached, she calmly asked, “Uncle Yanlong, who is this beside you?”

Her gaze softened, feeling a touch of emotion upon seeing that figure, her eyes becoming even more beautiful as they fixed on the figure behind Patriarch Yanlong.

Many were astonished; they hadn’t expected this inconspicuous Patriarch Yanlong to be able to converse with the newly ascended ruler of the Daughter Kingdom.

If it had been mere courtesy, it would have been one thing.

But now, barely appearing and leaving even the Marquis Tie Dan aside to converse with a Sixth Tribulation powerhouse.

It made many envious.

Marquis Tic Dan didn’t mind; he was unaffected by any influence, still scated calmly upon the throne.

Beside him, Patriarch Kuc Dao didn’t lose his composure either.

But the red-haired youth behind him stared wide-eyed, saliva almost dribbling from his mouth.

Thankfully, Patriarch Xue Dao privately reminded him, saving him from embarrassment.

Otherwise, when everyone realized later and saw this scene, they might have thought that the people of the Blood Robe Sect had never seen a woman before!

Back to Patriarch Yanlong’s side.

After hearing that sentence, Jian Wushuang’s mind became muddled, thinking it was about himself. As thoughts of that sweet voice came to mind, a joy surged in his heart, ready to stand up straight and introduce himself.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the ruler of the country stepped forward directly, grabbing the hand held by Jinchen, and gently remarked. “So much like Fengchen!”

…Jian Wushuang’s mind churned incessantly, but under the guidance of his Dao Heart, he gradually returned to normal.

It was only then that he recalled the matter between Empress Fengchen and the ruler of the Daughter Kingdom, and everything became clear.

Exhaling sharply, Jian Wushuang berated himself inwardly for his incompetence.

His Dao Heart once again became cold.

Jinchen was startled, not understanding what was happening.

Yet, when his hands touched the ruler of the country, he felt a warmth in his heart.

An innate fondness.

Yanlong Ancestor, standing to the side, felt awkward, then glanced at Jian Wushuang with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

“How is your mother?” the ruler of the Daughter Kingdom asked softly.

Jinchen obediently replied, ‘Everything is fine, she’s just in seclusion this time and couldn’t make it!”

‘She’s still as strong-willed as ever!”

The statement carried a hint of ambiguity.

Jian Wushuang suppressed a laugh beside them.

Perhaps only he and Yanlong knew the truth behind the words.

“Oh, right, this is a gift my mother entrusted me to give to Your Majesty!” Jinchen suddenly remembered the scroll, quickly withdrew one hand to retrieve it, and handed it over.

Seeing this, the ruler of the Daughter Kingdom’s expression brightened, carefully accepting the scroll.

This gift was the most precious.

She was also very pleased.

Afterward, they realized that all eyes were on them, with smiles in the corners of their eyes. With an apologetic tone, they said, “Apologies for keeping you waiting! Please stay a bit longer, I have something give to your mother as well,” addressing Jinchen.

Then, they gently patted Jinchen’s small head and floated away.

As they took their seat, their aura shifted from gentle to imposing.

However, the smile on their face remained warm, lacking any intimidation but exuding endless warmth.

Congratulations!

Let the ceremony begin!

Countless gifts were presented, cach allowing a brief conversation with the ruler.

Finally, it was time for speeches.

Jian Wushuang, an emperor himself, listened attentively, though much of it was beyond his understanding, he still benefited greatly.

This time, he received more than he had anticipated.

There were even some matters he wished to personally ask the ruler about.

However, given his status, perhaps he could use Jinchen’s identity to engage in conversation with them.

His divine power had now reached 100,000, surpassing even the ancient transformation under normal circumstances.

Currently, he urgently needed to merge his divine power with the Eternal Ancient Transformation. The power of the Starry Sky would no longer just amplify the Origin Source, but also amplify divine power.

In this way, the Eternal Ancient Transformation would become stronger once again.

At that time, his strength would also skyrocket.

But for now, he only had this idea, with no clue how to proceed.

If any sovereign could offer him some guidance, perhaps he could find a breakthrough.

With a base strength of 400,000-fold divine power, Jian Wushuang could push his Beast God power to its limit, reaching 500,000-fold divine power.

Even with his current usage of the Eternal Ancient Transformation, reaching such combat prowess was

difficult.

But if he could connect to divine power, the two would mutually enhance each other.

His strength would likely rival that of someone in the Fifth Tribulation, making him more than capable of facing someone like Dylan from before.

Conflict was inevitable during the Sacred Assembly.

As an Emperor, his role would be marginal at best.

Unable to directly ascend to the position of Universe Master, he had to seek secret methods to increase his

power.

The celebrations lasted for days.

Some factions with good relations to the Daughter Kingdom lingered, reluctant to leave, wanting to pay their respects to the ruler separately.

Jian Wushuang and the others naturally stayed back as well.

‘Grand Patriarch, could you tell us about the past between the monarch and the late Empress?” Jinchen pulled Patriarch Yanlong aside, eager to hear about the history between his mother and the monarch.

Patriarch Yanlong’s expression shifted, uncertain how to respond.

Empress Fengchen had never disclosed this matter to her daughter, clearly intending to keep Jinchen in the

dark

Yet this time, she wanted Jinchen to form a bond with this superlative figure.

The plan was well thought out.

Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion.

The circumstances of Yue Kingdom forced such choices.

Patriarch Yanlong had once been against the match, yet here he was, swallowing his pride.

In the face of absolute strength, everything could be set aside.

The Empress had sacrificed her feelings for power in the past.

Now, for the sake of Yue Kingdom, she was sacrificing her dignity once again.

They shouldn’t have had any further ties.

Though Patriarch Yanlong couldn’t bear it on the surface, inwardly, he was pleased.

If Yue Kingdom could align itself with the Daughter Kingdom, it would find much-needed stability in the

future.

It would be a powerful and reliable ally.

The three were accommodated in a secluded villa by the Daughter Kingdom. The layout of the courtyard was

ordinary yet cozy.

There stood a peach tree in full blossom and a well.

Next to the tree was a small pavilion.

The trio sat within it, Jian Wushuang brewing tea in the middle.

He wasn’t curious about such matters.

Patriarch Yanlong would definitely not divulge such information, so he didn’t bother asking.
