53: Chapter 53 – Divine Assistance in Attack

53 -53 – Divine Assistance in Attack

“Because the Third Prince exerted effort under his command and won a battle victory for the Qianyue Kingdom, I hereby confer the title of King Yue upon the Third Prince and reward him with a palace!”

The Qian Emperor announced loudly, these words sending a sudden shift across the faces of the other princes.

Being given the title of king was no small matter.

None of the princes in this generation had been made a king yet; even Qin Yu had only been granted the Palace of Prince Yu and still held the title of prince, though his own ascension to kingship seemed imminent.

However, against all expectations, the demoted Qin Jun had surged ahead and was the first to be granted kingship.

It was well known that the Qian Emperor had ascended to the throne by slaying the other kings.

Since then, he had ceased conferring the title of king upon any prince, making the significance of Qin Jun’s kingship truly profound.

“As for this brave soldier…” the Qian Emperor turned his gaze to Guan Yu, but hesitated, uncertain of how to address him.

“His name is Guan Yu,” Qin Jun quickly noted the emperor’s difficulty and introduced him.

In the presence of the Qian Emperor, Guan Yu still bowed with his hands clasped, but he did not kneel.

Having joined the military before the establishment of the Qianyue Kingdom, he naturally did not bend the knee in submission.

“Guan Yu, for your stunning performance during the conflict between our two kingdoms, you are promoted to Third-Rank General, and the specific position shall be decided among yourselves!”

Boom!

The crowd erupted once again, Third-Rank General!

Leaping directly from a commoner to a Third-Rank General, it was truly an ascent to the heavens!

Nan Meng’s expression turned sour, for he had dominated military power and even the Qian Emperor dared not meddle lightly.

But now, a strong warrior he did not recognize was appointed Third-Rank General.

Though still beneath him in rank, he was displeased.

Most importantly, Guan Yu’s swift strike that killed Xiao Beilong had also shocked Nan Meng; he didn’t dare utter a word of dissent, as he could sense the towering pride radiating from Guan Yu.

Crafty old fox!

Nan Meng silently cursed, clearly seeing the Qian Emperor’s attempt to curtail his military power.

Previously in the army, he had held absolute authority.

But now, with Guan Yu potentially stronger than him, it was certain the military would no longer be dictated solely by his commands.

Qin Yu’s face also turned extremely unsightly.

He had tried to win Guan Yu over, and now he understood why Guan Yu showed him no favor; Guan Yu belonged to Qin Jun.

Recalling the scenario at the Cliff Inn where Qin Jun and Guan Yu had mocked him together, he was infuriated to the point of near madness.

“Thank you, Father, for the reward!”

Qin Jun was overjoyed and respectfully bowed to the Qian Emperor.

Inwardly, however, he pondered, “Is this old man really this easy to talk to?”

Reflecting on the memories of his previous life, he realized that from a third-person perspective, the Qian Emperor had indeed treated his former self quite well.

Despite frequent scolding and punishment, severe reprimands were rare.

Still, the scandal involving embezzlement from the national treasury had been too severe to ignore and warranted strict punishment.

With these thoughts, Qin Jun’s impression of the Qian Emperor began to improve.

Putting everything else aside, just being conferred kingship had raised him above Qin Yu, making him the most noble existence amongst all the princes!

“All right, the duel between our two nations has ended.

Prepare to return to court.

Jun’er, bring your two subordinates with you back to the palace!” the Qian Emperor commanded as he surveyed the citizens and cultivators surrounding the Vermilion Bird Platform, drawing the event to its official close.

In comparison to the victory of the duel between the two nations, the legend of Qin Jun and Guan Yu became even more extraordinary, with a great shout from Qin Jun at a critical moment and Guan Yu cutting down Xiao Beilong without batting an eye!

The spectators were captivated by the dramatic scenes and lingered with a sense of wanting more.

“Incredible!

The Third Prince will now be my idol!”

“Haha!

I think Guan Yu will become a War God even stronger than Nan Meng!”

“Nonsense!

There’s only one War God, and that’s Nan Meng!”

“Keep dreaming.

Let’s see if Nan Meng could even defeat Xiao Beilong!”

“Exactly!

Guan Yu took down Xiao Beilong with a single blow, clearly Nan Meng is no match.

Unless you’re blind!”

The civilians and cultivators dispersed, discussing animatedly.

It would not be long before Qin Jun and Guan Yu became national sensations.

Qin Jun, standing on the Vermilion Bird Platform, couldn’t stop praising Guan Yu, “Damn!

Brother, can you get any cooler next time?”

Daji, who had also taken off her black hood, wore a beaming smile on her stunning face, clearly impressed by Guan Yu’s performance: “Brother Guan is indeed formidable.

Even I didnt’ catch the subtlety of that strike.”

If they had to fight, Daji admitted she was no match for Guan Yu.

“Just Ascending Mortal Realm.

Hardly worth mentioning,” Guan Yu said with a chuckle while stroking his beard, evidently quite pleased with himself as he squinted his eyes.

Prideful people sometimes enjoy flattery, too.

At that moment, Roaring Sky Dog leaped onto the Vermilion Bird Platform and ran towards Qin Jun, closely followed by Chang Qianqian.

“Qin Jun!”

Chang Qianqian ran straight over and jumped onto Qin Jun, clinging to him like a koala.

Qin Jun was helpless, wondering how this girl had even gotten there.

But he certainly couldn’t just throw her down.

“You were just too cool earlier!

I never thought I’d see the day when you’d be that dashing!”

Chang Qianqian chattered excitedly, having picked up some of Qin Jun’s speaking mannerisms after spending time with him.

Below the Vermilion Bird Platform, the delegation from the Xuanling Sect was filled with amazement.

The Great Elder, Xu Hai, exclaimed, “Where does this kid keep finding these powerful allies who can kill Xiao Beilong in a second?”

Zhuo Junjie watched Qin Jun intently, speechless, clearly shaken by Qin Jun’s recent display.

Chang Hao’s expression was dark as the bottom of a pot, his feelings extremely complex.

The members of the Purple Light Sect amidst the crowd were also discussing Qin Jun and Guan Yu.

The sect’s leading disciple, Lu Xuanfeng, lamented, “It seems the capital is about to change hands.”

In the past, they had thought Qin Yu was the most likely to ascend to the throne, hence they had firmed up their support for him.

Now, with a new contender like Qin Jun and the unfathomably strong Guan Yu, they would need to reassess their stance.

At the very least, they couldn’t afford to offend the next Emperor Di.

After all, their sect was rooted in the Qianyue Kingdom.

“Alright, I still need to enter the palace.

Please come down now,” Qin Jun said while patting Chang Qianqian’s back with a wry smile.

He couldn’t deny feeling flustered by the sensation of something resembling water balloons pressing against his chest.

Upon hearing that, Chang Qianqian reluctantly let go.

She stuck out her tongue playfully and moved next to Daji, pleading cheekily, “I want to visit the palace too.

Take me with you to see it!”

She might have been naive, but she understood that Qin Jun was now like a fish leaping through the Dragon Gate, the sole prince to be made a king!

It shouldn’t be difficult to take her with him to the palace.

“This…” Qin Jun was in a bind.

Jokingly, he thought, what’s our relationship that I should take you?

Unless you become mine…

Cough, cough!

Chang Qianqian immediately became distraught, tugging at Daji’s arm to charm her, “Sister Daji, please talk to him.

Qin Jun always listens to you.”

Her words effectively gave Qin Jun a silent thumbs up for such divine support, tantamount to an indirect confession.

Daji looked towards Qin Jun who immediately clapped his hands, saying, “No problem!”

This left Chang Qianqian feeling crestfallen.

Was it that a single look from Sister Daji merited his agreement?

Did he only like Daji?

“Third Prince, shall we leave?” freeweɓnøvel.com

Shen Yan approached with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.

Having accompanied the Qian Emperor since childhood, he was well aware of the emperor’s fondness for Qin Jun.

Now that Qin Jun had earned great achievements and seemed transformed, he might well become the next emperor.
