Chapter 215 – Beast Su Yun

Xue Qingfu glanced at Su Yun and Qiu Shuijing, and smiled: "Qiu Taichang has made a big splash this time, demoting several high-ranking officials. The holy favor is strong, and the court is in awe. It's not a good thing."

Qiu Shuijing said, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

Xue Qingfu followed Emperor Ping's carriage and said slowly: "Huang Shicao from the Huang family, Wei Jia from the Zhongdan Daifu, Zhao Changshi from the Zhao family, these are all famous big families. In the past, every dynasty respected them and never revoked their official positions. You have deprived these clans of their official positions, which has offended them. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, it can turn into a good thing."

He looked up at the emperor's carriage and said with a smile: "Huang Shicao has a younger brother named Huang Chunfeng. Let him replace Huang Shicao and succeed as Shicao. The Huang family wants an official position, as for Huang Shicao, let him go to Lingnan to dig and rob. In this way, you show the Huang family that you are fair to everyone and not just targeting them. When Huang Chunfeng takes office, he will be your person, and the Huang family will also retain the position of Shicao. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Qiu Shuijing listened quietly.

Su Yun and Bai Yuelou followed behind them and listened carefully, each with their own thoughts.

Xue Qingfu smiled and said: "The same goes for the Wei family and the Zhao family. You have established your authority in the court and placed your own people, but you have also offended other big families. This is not a win-win situation, but a triple win."

Qiu Shuijing praised: "Teacher is brilliant, but I won't take it."

Xue Qingfu was taken aback.

Qiu Shuijing said, "I would rather take the direct approach than seek a roundabout way. What I want to do is to change this country, change this world, and change the poverty and weakness of Yuanshuo! The monopolization of resources by the big families, and then the monopolization of education, which further leads to the monopolization of knowledge, has caused poverty and weakness in Yuanshuo. I want to open up education and promote enlightenment, which inevitably means taking action against the big families!"

He was inspired and walked forward: "Since I have already offended the three big families, I will offend them to the end. While the holy favor is strong, I will select outstanding talents from the scholars of the Heavenly Dao Academy and arrange them in these official positions. These people are the capital of my reform!"

"You are destined to fail."

Xue Qingfu followed him and sighed: "You will be beaten and broken. You think too well, but you forget one thing."

His gaze fell on Emperor Ping: "The imperial family is the biggest big family. The hope of your reform lies solely with the emperor, but what if the emperor changes his mind? Even if the emperor doesn't change his mind, what if the imperial family changes their mind?"

Qiu Shuijing said, "Teacher, this is where we differ. I want to reform, to change the fate of Yuanshuo's poverty and weakness under foreign oppression, but you don't. You only care about your own ambitions."

Xue Qingfu fell silent and suddenly smiled: "But my path is easier to succeed."

"That's the sad thing."

Qiu Shuijing said calmly, "Because if you succeed, Yuanshuo will still be the same Yuanshuo, and nothing will change."

Ahead, Emperor Ping's carriage stopped in the orchard, and he laughed: "What are you discussing, my dear ministers? Come over here."

Xue Qingfu and Qiu Shuijing walked forward, and Su Yun and Bai Yuelou followed behind.

Emperor Ping was surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, walking slowly and pointing to the ripe fruit on the trees in the palace. He said, "The fruit on Mount Yuhuang tastes even sweeter now. Go pick some and taste it."

The palace maids and eunuchs went to pick the fruit, and Emperor Ping said with a smile: "You don't need to be so formal, just sit around. Su Aiqing, come with me."

Su Yun was stunned and followed Emperor Ping. n0VeLusb.c0m



"As the head of the Tongtian Pavilion, you have great power and extraordinary means. You have this status, and I have to reward you. But you dare to come to Dongdu to receive my reward, which is beyond my expectations."

Emperor Ping sighed: "You are very bold!""You have guts to hit the emperor."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty..."

Di Ping showed a playful expression. "Su brother, you still have some fear."

Su Yun gritted his teeth and raised his eyebrows. "What makes Brother Di Ping think I'm afraid?"

Di Ping laughed heartily, his voice booming. Xue Qingfu, who was far away, heard the laughter and looked up, whispering, "Shuijing, what do you think they're talking about?"

Qiu Shuijing said, "If I cut down the fiefdoms and the interests of the major clans, would Xue Saint support me?"

"It's useless even if I do."

Xue Qingfu withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Your decrees cannot be implemented in the Eastern Capital. The decrees are implemented by officials, forming a network that governs the country. These officials often come from the major clans. Your decrees aim to weaken them, but do you still want them to execute them?"

"What do you think they're talking about?" Di Ping turned back to Xue Qingfu and Qiu Shuijing, whispering.

Su Yun said, "They're debating political views."

Di Ping looked up and laughed. "That's what they're arguing about. Fame, benefits, and the right path. What about you, Su brother? What do you strive for?"

Su Yun lowered his eyelids, thinking of the lowly demon race in Tian Shi Yuan, the common people in Shuo Fang, and the things he had seen and heard on his way to Qian Wa City. He didn't know how to answer.

"Perhaps you want to become a high-ranking official, a talented writer, or accumulate wealth for your descendants. Or maybe you have ambitious plans, even wanting to sit on my throne!"

Di Ping stood with his hands behind his back, his face bright and clear. "These are things that people dream of their whole lives, but I was born with them. The things that people have been fighting for their whole lives are things that I was born with and not worth mentioning. You all seek fame, benefits, wealth, life, beauty, descendants, the country, and so on. I don't care!"

"What Di Ping cares about is his own life."

"Exactly! I have everything, except for eternal life!"

Di Ping's face suddenly darkened. "So after inheriting the throne, I began to plan for eternal life and the path to immortality. Xue Tai Chang tried to manipulate me and override me. How could I tolerate him? Let him go back to Shuo Fang to retire!"

He brushed his sleeves. "Qiu Tai Chang talks about reform every day, but he can't see what I want. I'm too lazy to use him! Only Qu Tai Chang wholeheartedly studies longevity, so I value him and let him lead the smartest people in the world to Tian Shi Yuan. Qu Tai Chang did not disappoint me. He actually opened the fairy world, giving me hope for eternal life!"

His face became more and more gloomy, gritting his teeth. "Thieves! Including you, Su Master, you are all thieves!"

Su Yun was stunned.

Just now, Di Ping was joking and even could joke with him, calling him a brother. But in the blink of an eye, his killing intent was overwhelming and his tone was cold, truly unpredictable.

"Tian Men Town is mine, and the Eight-Faced Heaven Palace is also mine. It's you guys, you ambitious people, who have taken away my eternal life!"

Di Ping said fiercely, "The seven major clans of Shuo Fang, the son of Shuo Bei Old Gourd, the Marquis of Shuo Fang, and even Xue Saint, the God King and the Demon King of the No Man's Land, are all thieves and should die!"

He took a few deep breaths and began to cough.

"It seems that Di Ping's illness is not completely healed," Su Yun thought.

"I let Qiu Tai Chang continue Qu Tai Chang's research and create a unified method, but he won't do it. He's indecisive and wants to reform. He doesn't even know my intentions!"

Di Ping exhaled a breath and said coldly, "He started complaining after some Taoist Academy students died. How could I tolerate him? So I'm going to send him to Shuo Fang and let him stir up the water there like a big catfish."He turned to look at Qiu Shuijing, who was talking to Xue Qingfu, with a dark expression on his face: "But he has become a thief too. He even used the last piece of the Heavenly Gate to threaten me. Damn it, he deserves to die!"

Su Yun shuddered.

Qiu Shuijing seemed to sense Emperor Di Ping's gaze, turned around and looked at him. In an instant, Emperor Di Ping's face became bright and full of energy.

Su Yun shuddered again: "Demon! The emperor is the real demon! He's much scarier than Wu Tong!"

"Qiu Shuijing obtained the Longevity Method and showed it to me through your hands, so you are also a thief!"

Emperor Di Ping glanced at Su Yun coldly and sneered, "You live in Tianmen Town and you stole my Longevity Method and Immortal Method! You are all thieves, and you still use the Immortal Method to force me to do this and that!"

"What exactly do you want to say, Your Majesty?" Su Yun asked.

"Brother Su."

Emperor Di Ping changed his face again and smiled, "I can give you everything you want, as long as you give me the complete Immortal Method. I can fulfill all your wishes!"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I only know the basic cultivation methods for the Foundation Building and Spirit Nurturing realms. I know nothing about anything more advanced."

"You can get the rest of the methods from Qiu Shuijing and Xue Qingfu. I can tell that they both appreciate you even though they are not on good terms with each other," Emperor Di Ping said eagerly.

"Your Majesty, if I had the Immortal Method, I would definitely teach it to others and make the Yuan Shuo stronger to resist foreign enemies. Can you do that?" Su Yun said.

Emperor Di Ping's face changed dramatically and he said coldly, "There can only be one emperor who lives forever in this world!"

Su Yun shook his head and turned to walk towards Qiu Shuijing and Xue Qingfu.

Emperor Di Ping watched his back with a murderous look in his eyes.

Su Yun stopped and slowly turned his head, his gaze fierce and wild.

Their eyes met briefly before Su Yun continued walking towards Qiu Shuijing and Xue Qingfu.

"What a wild beast!" Emperor Di Ping was very angry. "I will definitely tame you!"

Su Yun left the palace and returned to the Xianliang Academy. He hesitated in his heart. Dongdu was not a good place, as Qiu Shuijing had said. After all, he was just a small scholar and it was not easy for him to stay here for long.

"Perhaps being a minor official in the Inspectorate is a good choice," he thought to himself.

At this moment, Bai Yuelou rushed over and cried out, "Big Brother, help me!"

Su Yun was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That Qin envoy, Cang Jiuhua, invited me to dinner!" Bai Yuelou said.

Su Yun laughed and said, "Just go if you want to, why ask me?" As he spoke, he suddenly felt hungry.

"No, no, I clearly ate a plate of lamb as big as a small mountain in the palace!" Su Yun frowned slightly and touched his stomach. He reluctantly said, "We're all brothers in the Ge Wu Academy, so I'll go with you for dinner. But let me make it clear that I only eat, I won't help you fight."

Bai Yuelou nodded repeatedly, "With Big Brother supporting me, I feel much more confident."

"What about Big Sister?" Wu Tong walked over from outside, with Jiao Shu'Ao following silently behind her.
