Chapter 738: Chapter 22: Rank Soars, Has the Heavenly Time Sect Also Noticed Zhao Xing?

"Mr. Liu, someone is investigating your disciple." On the Biyou Battleship, in a fragrant and tranquil cabin, Princess You Ruo walked over to Liu Tianning.

"Investigating my disciple?" Liu Tianning frowned. "Who is investigating?"

Princess You Ruo handed over a letter, "It’s Meng Kun and Gu Changqing of Kunyuan Academy. They were sent by the court to make arrangements for the arena."

Liu Tianning opened the letter, "What do they want to do?"

Princess You Ruo laughed, "They fancy him. Meng Kun and Gu Changqing want to transfer Zhao Xing. They don’t hold positions in Pinghai State, so they can only transfer through Kunyuan Academy."

Not being in the same state made it hard to manage the transfer of officials.

Only the Seventy-two Taoist Schools, with branches all over the Nineteen States, made transfers much more convenient through their channel.

"They are in Dao Yuan Continent, yet they fancy my disciple?" Liu Tianning’s frown eased. As long as they didn’t intend to harm Zhao Xing, there wasn’t much of an issue.

"Meng Kun sent someone to find me." Princess You Ruo said, "He mentioned that Zhao Xing is in the First Heaven and has comprehended the Jiyuan Palace they set up, breaking through to High Order Perfect Skill. He also mentioned that raising horses in the Dragon Horse Guard is a waste of talent..."

Princess You Ruo placed her chin on Liu Tianning’s shoulder, "In short, they think Zhao Xing is a genius of the Earth Advantage Sect and want to take him away from me."

"Don’t they know Zhao Xing is my student?"

"They know~" Princess You Ruo encircled Liu Tianning’s waist and whispered in his ear, "But they don’t care. They just see Zhao Xing as a promising member of the Earth Advantage Sect and even pleaded with me, hm~"

Liu Tianning frowned, not because Meng Kun and Gu Changqing fancied his student, but because Princess You Ruo was licking his ear, and her hands were starting to become restless.

"I don’t care what they think." Liu Tianning turned around and placed the letter on the desk, "But they can’t use force; Zhao Xing must want the transfer himself."

Princess You Ruo, as inseparable as a shadow, flicked her sleeves and sat down with Liu Tianning, "You’re quite open-minded. Aren’t you afraid that Chen An will be enticed by them and abandon his Ten Thousand Skills Grassman cultivation?"

"He won’t."

"You have quite a bit of confidence in him." Princess You Ruo fiddled with the letter between her jade-like fingers, "It says here, if Zhao Xing goes over, he will directly become a Preaching Master at Genchuan Branch. Within five years, he could become a Doctor of Governance, and within twenty years, he could be vice dean."

Liu Tianning chuckled lightly, "Shared aspirations form the most unshakeable relationship in the world, far more steadfast than any promises of high rank and salary."

"Whether he goes or not, he will definitely not abandon the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Skills Grassman."

When one pursues the ultimate in Dao, even others can’t enter that threshold. Zhao Xing had already started on that path; how could he give it up?

Take Pang Xianyun, whom Zhao Xing defeated the year before. Even though Pang had switched to the Self Sect to continue his studies, he might not achieve much.

As for which sect Zhao Xing belonged to,

Liu Tianning didn’t care because he had no sect mentality at all.

On the contrary, he despised academic factions and sectarian disputes the most.

It was just that his past actions were irreparable, and the relationships couldn’t be mended. Otherwise, Liu Tianning would have liked to unify the three sects.

"Then I’ll act according to your words?" Princess You Ruo asked, "You really don’t care at all?"

"Do I need to care?" Liu Tianning laughed, "Having a disciple admired is a good thing."

"However, I don’t allow anyone to interfere with his path unless he wants to go."

"Alright, got it." Princess You Ruo nestled into Liu Tianning’s arms, rubbing against him constantly. "I’ll send someone to make it clear to them later."

...

On the Genchuan Fubo Ship,

Meng Kun received the news. He looked at the letter brought by his subordinate, frowning.

"Mr. Meng, did the Princess refuse?" Gu Changqing, observing Meng Kun’s expression, sensed that this matter might be tricky.

"She didn’t exactly refuse." Meng Kun handed the letter to Gu Changqing, "But she didn’t allow us to use connections to operate. We need to first seek Zhao Xing’s consent."

"This is interesting." Gu Changqing showed an intrigued expression after reading the letter. "Princess You Ruo values him so highly." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Liu Tianning wasn’t actually an obstacle. After all, Liu Tianning was still a fourth-rank official, even if he had the capability to defeat third-rank opponents. His official position was still lower than that of him and Meng Kun.

Moreover, Liu was a junior. In terms of connections, the Self Sect’s influence didn’t match up to the Earth Advantage Sect’s.

If they wanted a transfer and Princess You Ruo allowed it, it would just be a matter of a word.

"It seems the rumors are true, Liu Tianning and the Princess are quite close."

"Let’s not indulge in idle gossip," Meng Kun said, "Since the Princess has such an attitude, we’ll wait until the competition ends and talk to Zhao Xing."

Meng Kun wasn’t interested in gossip; his sole passion was to promote the Earth Advantage Sect.

His greatest wish was to see the Earth Advantage Sect flourishing more than the Heavenly Time Sect within his lifetime.

Meng Kun was undoubtedly a staunch advocate of the dominant faction!

As the Geographical Advantage Sect Minister of Agriculture, naturally, he hoped for more land! If he could plant land across the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, witnessing all the earth veins and soils of the world, he would die without regrets.

"After the competition, I’ll talk to him in person," Gu Changqing said.

"Alright, that would be great," Meng Kun replied.

...

Mr. Zhao didn’t know that his mere comprehension of the Jiyuan Palace had caught the attention of the Earth Advantage Sect’s big shots.

At that moment, he was still staying in the Crescent Mountain area.

His food supplies were more than sufficient, especially after he comprehended the eleventh turn of the Endless Palace. The influence of the Jiyuan Palace had diminished considerably.
