One of the reasons why Emperor Min Zhao Long remained on the throne was the presence of the Supreme Minister Liu Niang, who, unlike the other ministers who, if they were in his place, would have exploited this position and tried to pull the rug out from under His Majesty the weak king, but Liu had raised Min since his childhood and he was the one who brought him to his current position and secured his throne and even covered up his many misfortunes. The reason was simple: he was his uncle and the younger brother of the Empress Mother who died during childbirth. Since then, he had pampered him. Liu regretted this greatly as he felt that he was the reason for his foolish actions, so he tried to make the kingdom stronger with all his might and attributed all the credit to him. However, after much thought and consultations with the ministers and leaders, he reached the decision to remove the current emperor and install Liu in his place.
Inside the library, Leo looked at a letter that Min had written to him during one of his trips.
"Dear father, today I arrived at Xian Tong County and I am in the best of health. The road was tiring, but when I arrived at the city, all the fatigue disappeared at once. The walls are wonderful, and although they do not reach the walls of the capital, the place where my mother lived is a real paradise. I will go to your family's house and there I will paint a picture and put it in your mother's room. We have now reached the market. I will finish the story now. I hope you are well. Do not tell His Majesty that I called you father. Goodbye."
Meanwhile, a servant came and told him that Yan had gone to the royal library. This brought joy to Liu's heart, as he was happy because he hoped that the emperor would change, and he was also afraid that there might be a problem, especially since everyone was tense because of the undead, and any small spark would start a fire that would burn the entire empire. However, he convinced himself that everything would be fine, and he remembered the situation today when he led the negotiations and his orders were good, so he suspected that there was a mistake in his actions. Liu quickly arrived at the library, he was in a hurry so that what he feared would not happen, but what was in front of him was the emperor who was walking with all his pride, and behind him was a library employee carrying large books in his hands, and they were heading towards the emperor's wing.
When they both met, Yan looked at him. Liu was wearing the prime minister's clothes, which were golden robes decorated with red patterns. He was panting because he had come to the library in a hurry. Liu was short and a bit fat. His hair was bald in the middle and only had some hair on the sides. He had a light moustache and a light beard. Liu greeted him and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Your servant Liu Niang is here with you." Yan looked at him and said without knowing what the situation was. Yan thought that something bad had happened because of the prime minister's appearance. Anyone who saw him like this would undoubtedly expect the worst scenario. "What brought you, Prime Minister?" Yan said. Liu then approached him and said after realizing that he was in a miserable state, "No, Your Majesty, I was just inspecting the palace and when I saw you, I ran with all my might to greet you. Excuse me, Your Majesty, I will leave." Liu was embarrassed, it was impossible for him to say that he came because he thought that Min Zhao would cause trouble in the library, because of the things that happened and the entourage and close associates blowing up even the smallest mistake, Liu became more nervous about the matters that Min Zhao was involved in than usual, and this was because he saw that every mistake was his fault. Liu returned to his room feeling embarrassed by the situation, but he had decided to reconsider the coup until he finished with the undead because the death of the emperor at this time would mean that there would be a gap in the rule and even if he tried to fill it, at this time he would fail simply because people were in their worst psychological state now. Unlike wars where the loser dies and the victor lives, now the victors are the dead and the living lose. Every person who dies turns into an enemy. There are people who killed their families even after their death, there are soldiers who fought their brothers in arms who died. As for the people of the empire who had sanctified their dead and worshipped the spirits of their ancestors, now they were killing their ancestors and their dead. This was a difficult matter for everyone, so any personal problem or selfish desire would be fought even if it was somewhat legitimate because at this moment, people must unite (the living ones of course), and Liu was well aware of this matter.
When the Prime Minister left quickly, Yan remained unaware of the strange situation that had happened in front of him, but he decided to ignore it anyway. He arrived at the Emperor's chamber and the servant placed the books on the Emperor's desk. Yan sat in front of the desk and decided to study the books he had brought. In addition to studying these things, he had to do his duties as an Emperor, even if it meant that he would not rest until he was done. In fact, Yan had wanted to return to his world a few hours ago, but now he wanted to stay longer. However, because he did not realize how he had come in the first place, the best thing was to do things as quickly as possible and without procrastination. He began studying the science of inscriptions. This science made Yan feel excited in his heart as if a fire was burning inside him. Yan knew the value of simple things that brought great benefits in the long run, and his choices were based on this intuition that he possessed. In front of this art, all of Yan's senses were screaming at him to study this science. He began to memorize the chapters at first, and he memorized with all seriousness. There was someone who put a sharp sword on his neck and ordered him to memorize or He will kill him.
The first chapter was about the art of sword engraving. This art was unique and easy to use for Yan, as you only need to memorize twenty symbols and engrave them in a certain way on the sword. For example, when you want to make the sword strong, you engrave an engraving called protection. This engraving makes the swords more durable. What caught Yan's attention were the symbols and formulas that were similar to the chevrons that are found in the middle of the spirits' foreheads. Spirits, which are similar to animals but much smaller, are characterized by having unclear writing on their heads. When the spirit is linked to a person, this writing becomes clear, which is the spirit's personal name that only the person who contracted knows. If someone else knows the name, the spirit dies. Memorizing the symbols was not difficult according to the book, but the most difficult thing for the sheikh was to perform the process correctly. You need to have the chi energy engraved on the surface of the sword and do it perfectly, otherwise the process will fail and the energy may explode on the user. In this world, dealing with chi was very difficult, but for Yan, it was very easy because alchemists were trained to deal with the pure energy of pure chi, which is much more difficult than normal chi because pure chi is heavier than normal chi and therefore dealing with it is much more difficult, but for Yan, dealing with pure chi is as easy as the wind dealing with a feather.
