Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Qian Yuan, who was reviewing memorials, paused, his hand suddenly stopping.

His deep, profound gaze, through the dim light, looked out at the dark night outside the window, a trace of contemplation on his face.

“Nine Nether?”

“Who is it?”

“Tai Shuqing, or that old geezer from Black Street?”

“Tai Shuqing hasn't had the imprint for long, he probably hasn't realized its wonders yet, it's most likely that old geezer from Black Street.”

“That old geezer, he really doesn't know how to rest!”

After muttering to himself, Emperor Qian Yuan withdrew his gaze, his expression returning to normal, as if nothing had happened.

… …

Black Street.

“Oh?”

“Someone else has gone to the Nine Nether?”

“Interesting!”

“Not long ago, Emperor Qian Yuan stirred up the Nine Nether, and now someone else is going there, how interesting.”

“The three imprints in the Earth Mother Divine Tree have brought many variables.”

“I wonder if it's Tai Shuqing or that mysterious thunder cultivator who condensed the tree heart who entered the Nine Nether tonight?”

“Three imprints, falling into the hands of three people, this could be quite a show.”

Old Man Undying's mouth uttered sounds of gleeful anticipation.

“No matter how you guys stir things up, it has nothing to do with me.”

“I just need to wait until the Nine Nether descends upon the human world, and then… it will be my era.”

“Zhou Huan, your Zhou family has sat on this throne for a thousand years, it's time for me to have a turn.”

… …

Royal Residence, Quiet Room.

His divine soul returned to his body, and his eyes opened.

The Soul Banner's restoration to its peak is just around the corner.

At that time, not to mention ten billion soul banners, even a hundred billion or a thousand billion would not be out of reach.

After adjusting his breathing and recovering some of his divine sense.

Zhou Hao Chen sat cross-legged and took a deep breath towards the Submerged Ghost Mist Lotus Root.

Thin black mist emanated from the hollow of the lotus root and was inhaled into Zhou Hao Chen's body.

From a distance, it looked like he was puffing out clouds and fog.

The essence of the Submerged Ghost Mist Lotus Root is this thin layer of ghost mist, which has the effect of enhancing divine sense.

As the ghost mist merged into his divine soul, Zhou Hao Chen quickly activated the visualization diagram and continued to visualize the Yaksha.

Soon, Zhou Hao Chen could clearly feel his divine soul growing rapidly.

The speed of this growth was visible to the naked eye.

Time passed through his fingers.

Unknowingly, a night passed.

When the eastern sky turned fish-belly white, the soft sunlight passed through the gauze-like clouds and fell on the ground through the window seams of the quiet room, like sparkling gold foil.

A handsome young man sat cross-legged, his posture upright.

Suddenly, he let out a long breath, two streams of air spraying from his nostrils, like white dragons.

“Second Heaven of Object Manipulation!”

“As expected of a natural treasure that nourishes the divine soul, the effect is amazing!”

Opening his eyes, Zhou Hao Chen muttered to himself, his tone mixed with joy and excitement.

He advanced to the Second Heaven of Object Manipulation in one night.

This speed can be said to be extremely fast.

As for the black mist on the Submerged Ghost Mist Lotus Root, it was obviously thinner, as if a part of it had been drawn away by something.

Zhou Hao Chen looked at the Submerged Ghost Mist Lotus Root. According to his cultivation speed, this section of Submerged Ghost Mist Lotus Root could probably be used five or six more times, enough for him to cultivate to the Third Heaven of Object Manipulation.

“Li Yue, serve me to bathe and change.”

Zhou Hao Chen called out.

Since having the twin sisters Li Yue and Chun Yue, Aunt Lan has handed over most of the daily personal service to the two sisters.

Including taking care of 'that' matter, Li Yue took the initiative to volunteer, replacing her sister, and undertook this "important task".

“Aim a little better, you're spilling it all over my shoes.” Zhou Hao Chen said speechlessly.

Li Yue's skills are far inferior to Aunt Lan's!

Li Yue's pretty face was flushed, covered with blush, like peach blossoms in February.

Her eyelids were lowered, her eyes wandering, as if she dared not look at the object she held in her jade hand.

“Your Highness, it… it… it's… not being obedient…”

Li Yue stammered, complaining in her heart.

It's too big!

She can't hold it with one hand.

“Didn't Aunt Lan teach you the trick?”

“She did!”

“Since you can't learn it, let Chun Yue come.”

“No… I… I can learn it…”

Li Yue's pretty face showed a stubborn expression, her mind recalling the tricks Aunt Lan taught her.

The trick is very simple, just three words.

Light, gentle, steady.

… …

After finishing his breakfast, Zhou Hao Chen rinsed his mouth and asked.

“Where's Old Man He?”

“I haven't smelled any wine on him today.”

Qin Qiu Lan reported unhurriedly: “Your Highness, Old Man He left the Royal Residence last night, saying he was going to prepare a surprise for you.”

Surprise?

What surprise?

However, Zhou Hao Chen was still looking forward to something that could be considered a surprise by a powerhouse of the Upper Three Realms.

At this time, a servant came in to report.

“Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to visit.”

“Big brother?”

Zhou Hao Chen was stunned for a moment. What is the Crown Prince doing visiting him?

Wasn't he punished by the Emperor to reflect behind closed doors for a month?

Isn't he afraid of being known by the Emperor if he comes to the Wu Royal Residence?

Full of doubts, Zhou Hao Chen met the Crown Prince in the hall.

Besides the Crown Prince, there was also an acquaintance of Zhou Hao Chen's who came to visit—Feng Huai.

“Thirteenth brother, are you well!” The Crown Prince said with a smile.

“Big brother, you don't visit a temple without a reason, what are you here for today…”

“Hahaha, thirteenth brother, don't panic, I'm here today to have Feng Huai apologize to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Huai knelt down with a thud.

“Thirteenth Prince, I offended you a lot in the painting boat yesterday, please be generous and don't hold it against me.”

The corners of Zhou Hao Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Punishing Feng Huai was just something he did casually.

If Feng Huai hadn't come to his door, he would have almost forgotten about it.

He is busy cultivating and busy investigating cases, how can he have time to stare at a small character like Feng Huai.

However, now that the Crown Prince has brought Feng Huai to apologize, he can't help but give the Crown Prince face.

“Big brother, you're overthinking it.”

“I didn't take the matter of Feng Shizi to heart.”

“I only hope that Feng Shizi can learn from this lesson, study hard, acquire skills, and serve the Emperor.”

“Thirteenth brother, you're right, Feng Huai has deeply realized his mistake.”

“Last night, he copied the Exhortation to Learning poem a thousand times overnight.”

“Your Highness, this is a thousand copies of the Exhortation to Learning poem that I copied, to show my sincerity, please accept it.”

With that, Feng Huai took out a stack of Xuan paper.

The Xuan paper was full of the Exhortation to Learning poem that he wrote.

It's just… the handwriting is like a dog crawling.

After taking a look, Qin Qiu Lan whispered in Zhou Hao Chen's ear.

“Your Highness, it is indeed a thousand manuscripts of the Exhortation to Learning poem.”

It is indeed a thousand manuscript copies of the Exhortation to Learning poem.

Looking at the handwriting, it came from the same person.

As for whether it was copied by Feng Huai himself, Zhou Hao Chen was too lazy to think about it.

What's important is the attitude!
