Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1275 - 567: Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Auction

Ning Qi stood off to the side, watching Li Xiangrou.

Under the pressure of his aura, no one dared to act rashly anymore.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

So, after her one sentence, everyone bowed respectfully and offered thanks.

Then they rose to their feet one after another.

Everyone turned their gaze to the front, each face full of respect.

"From this day forth, proclaim it to the realm."

Li Xiangrou looked down at the crowd below and said in a low voice, "From the day I ascend the throne tomorrow, the dynastic title shall be changed to Eternal Ning Realm."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"..."

The people below once again replied with utmost respect.

"Enough, court is dismissed."

Li Xiangrou waved her hand, indicating for everyone to withdraw.

"Yes."

"..."

The crowd answered respectfully once more, then withdrew in order.

In an instant, the great hall became empty again, leaving only a few guards and palace maids.

Li Xiaotian looked quite dejected at this moment.

"Father King, from now on you’ll be the Supreme Emperor of Yue Country."

Li Xiangrou glanced at him, then continued, "Just go to South Mountain and rest in peace. From now on, you don’t need to interfere in the affairs of Yue Country."

After a series of upheavals, and with Ning Qi backing her up,

Li Xiangrou had grown all the more confident by now.

"Good, I’m happy to take it easy."

"However, I do have one request."

Li Xiaotian had also let it go, though there were still some things he couldn’t be at ease about.

So he spoke to Li Xiangrou.

"What is it?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangrou couldn’t help but ask.

"Your imperial elder sister, and your imperial elder brothers—can you spare them?"

Li Xiaotian looked at her and said solemnly, "They are your close blood kin as well. If you’re uneasy, you can strip them of their titles."

"You can even drive them away, as long as you leave them a way to live."

"I won’t be like them, chasing and killing all the way to the end."

"But their noble ranks must be cut."

"Their strength before me is like ants. I won’t kill them!"

After listening to him, Li Xiangrou spoke with disdain.

"Good. With that, I can rest easy."

Li Xiaotian nodded and sighed, "As your father, I’ll take my leave. Yue Country’s future will depend on you."

After saying this, he didn’t stay any longer and was the first to depart.

"Father King, your son/daughter ascends the throne tomorrow—don’t forget to come."

Li Xiangrou reminded him again.

"Rest assured, I’ll definitely be there!"

After agreeing, Li Xiaotian took his leave first.

In no time, only Li Xiangrou and Ning Qi were left here.

"Ning Qi, can you attend my enthronement ceremony?"

Li Xiangrou looked at Ning Qi and asked seriously.

"Of course. Otherwise people will think I’m just some helper you hired."

"I’ll give you all the backing you need, then leave."

Ning Qi agreed gladly, smiling as he said, "You did very well just now—you already have the bearing of an emperor."

"Really? I learned it all from you."

Hearing this, Li Xiangrou couldn’t help showing a touch of softness. "From now on... I’m going to use this bearing to face everyone and everything."

"Yes, you definitely can. I believe you’ll manage it."

Ning Qi nodded and added, "I hope that when I come back in the future, you’ll be ruling your own domain."

"I should be able to do it!"

Li Xiangrou nodded just as seriously.

"Alright, go make your arrangements. There must be a lot of things to handle inside!"

"I’ll just take a stroll in your rear garden."

Ning Qi waved his hand, then prepared to leave.

"Attend me."

Li Xiangrou called out toward the outside of the great hall.

"Here!"

Immediately, several guards stepped forward respectfully.

"Take Master Ning to the rear garden."

"Arrange for him to stay at Tranquil Fragrance Pavilion."

Li Xiangrou clearly knew this place very well.

She arranged lodgings for Ning Qi.

"Yes!"

The guards accepted the order respectfully, then stepped aside.

"Ning Qi, I’ll come find you tonight!"

Seeing Ning Qi about to leave, Li Xiangrou reminded him.

"Alright!"

After Ning Qi agreed with a smile, he followed the guards out of the great hall.

Along the way, the guards all wore expressions of deep respect.

They all knew Ning Qi’s identity; none of them dared slight him.

After all, the strongest expert in Yue Country right now was like an ant in Ning Qi’s hands.

None of them dared offend him.

Following the guards, Ning Qi strolled past vermilion towers and carved lattice windows, and soon arrived at the rear garden.

It was called a rear garden, but to Ning Qi it felt more like an entire landscaped park.

The trees and immortal grasses had all been deliberately planted, pleasing to the eye.

There was also an artificial lake, which made him feel mentally and physically relaxed just looking at it.

"Master, this place really is nice. I already want to stay here a few more days!"

Medicine Spirit hopped about in the void, admiring the scenery.

"Then you can stay here with her."

Ning Qi said with a smile, "I’ll go see Miss Xu myself. When I come back, I’ll pick you up here."

"No way. I haven’t seen Miss Xu in ages either."

"And that dumb cat."

Medicine Spirit shook its head again and again, looking ahead. "If we get the chance, I’ll bring them here to play."

"I’m afraid there won’t be such a chance."

Ning Qi shook his head. "Once we see Miss Xu, we have to set out back home."

"We’ve already wasted more than enough time on this trip."

"Master, do you think Miss Xu has been thinking about us?"

After hearing him, Medicine Spirit couldn’t help thinking of something and asked curiously.

"That’s something we can’t know."

Ning Qi sighed, then looked ahead.

"Upper Immortal, this is Tranquil Fragrance Pavilion."

At this moment, a guard suddenly pointed to the pavilion ahead and spoke to Ning Qi.

"Good! You may go. I’d like some time alone."
