"The State Preceptor has a huge influence in the Capital, so I must feign weakness. If I revealed my Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, the State Preceptor would surely ask other high-level cultivators to take action against me. Lin Junsheng wouldn't stay obediently in the Capital either," said Yuan Ming as he finished his tea in one gulp.
"That's true. Your recent killing of Master Yu Hu will soon become known to all countries, and your fame will soar, but you've also completely offended the Chang Chun Temple and the State Preceptor's faction. What are your plans for the future?" The Emperor asked with some concern, not truly blaming Yuan Ming.
"I'll be leaving soon. The world is vast; where can I not find refuge? Being a Loose Cultivator suits me quite well," Yuan Ming said nonchalantly.
"It seems your trip to the Southern Border has broadened your horizons considerably. I too should seize the opportunity to travel with Lou Lan," the Emperor said with a longing tone.
