Fantasy: After three years in prison, the dude is out Chapter 181

“How strong is strong enough?”

Xie Weilou asked.

The Xia Emperor stared at the north, without saying much.

The higher the cultivation, the more one understands the vastness of the world, which is why he was so eager to step into the Divine Court.

As an emperor, he ruled over all people and possessed vast territory, but he still felt insignificant.

He never considered himself a qualified emperor, but rather a cultivator, a cultivator pursuing the Great Dao.

“……”

Xie Weilou looked north.

The Xia Emperor casually took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Xie Weilou: “You were born with useless bones, even the Sword Immortal has examined you and said it would be difficult for you to embark on the path of cultivation. However, perhaps there is something that can help you. This is a small bottle of Phoenix Blood, with the power of Nirvana and rebirth, which may be able to turn your useless bones into spiritual bones. This is my reward to you.”

Without spiritual bones, one is basically out of touch with the Great Dao, unless one transplants spiritual bones. However, transplanted spiritual bones will definitely not be smooth sailing and will have many side effects, limiting one’s achievements.

If one possesses useless bones, then let the useless bones become spiritual bones. Phoenix Blood can bring Nirvana, perhaps with miraculous effects.

Of course, he was not entirely sure about the true situation.

Xie Weilou took the jade bottle: “Phoenix Blood?”

He wasn’t too surprised. The Xia Emperor certainly wouldn’t give away all the Phoenix Blood he obtained; he would definitely keep some.

The Xia Emperor smiled and said, “You are now in the vortex of power, so you should have some cultivation to protect yourself. If you have spiritual bones, you can walk the path of a cultivator.”

Xie Weilou bowed to the Xia Emperor: “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Ordinary whetstones can only sharpen ordinary weapons, but cannot sharpen divine weapons. Was this to make him, this whetstone, take it a step further?

The Xia Emperor smiled faintly and casually asked, “What do you think of Yan Ruyu?”

“Uh…”

Xie Weilou’s expression froze.

The Xia Emperor smiled and said, “If you have any thoughts, I will fully support you. When young, one should have lofty ambitions, and not return until reaching the heavens. You are still young, and anything is possible. This is the fairest gift that heaven gives to living beings!”

Xie Weilou drooped his face: “No thoughts…”

“Hahaha! Then go down.”

The Xia Emperor couldn’t help but laugh, waving his hand casually.

“Your subject takes his leave.”

Xie Weilou bowed and turned to leave.

The Xia Emperor looked into the distance and murmured, “Xie Cangxuan’s whetstone, can it sharpen your discarded blade?”

——————

Leaving the Imperial Garden.

A palace maid came over: “Young Master, please wait!”

Xie Weilou looked at the palace maid in surprise: “Is there something?”

The palace maid whispered: “Young Master, the Empress invites you to have a cup of tea.”

“Uh… lead the way.”

Xie Weilou nodded lightly.

“Please follow me.”

The palace maid led Xie Weilou towards Phoenix Palace.

Phoenix Palace.

“Your Majesty, the Empress, Young Master Xie is here.”

The palace maid saluted Dugu BuZheng.

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress.”

Xie Weilou saluted Dugu BuZheng. At this moment, Dugu BuZheng was sitting in front, slowly making fragrant tea.

Dugu BuZheng slowly said, “Young Master, please sit down first! Wait a moment, brewing tea is like being a person, you need to be attentive to brew excellent tea, and of course, you can also test the quality of the tea.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Xie Weilou sat down on the side. There was incense in the hall, and the scent was very strong.

Half an incense stick passed.

Xie Weilou yawned repeatedly, slowly closing his eyes, taking a little nap.

“……”

Dugu BuZheng glanced at Xie Weilou, frowning slightly.

Seeing Xie Weilou like this, she subconsciously thought of Yan Junlin, they were both the same, impatient and lazy by nature, no wonder they could call each other brothers.

Another half incense stick passed.

The fragrant tea was finally brewed.

Dugu BuZheng poured two cups, and she looked at the palace maid.

The palace maid said to Xie Weilou: “Young Master, the tea is ready.”

Xie Weilou still had his eyes closed.

The palace maid reached out and gently shook Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou immediately opened his eyes and saluted the palace maid: “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“……”

The palace maid skillfully avoided it, she couldn’t afford this “Your Majesty”, otherwise she would be beheaded!

Dugu BuZheng said indifferently: “The tea is ready, Young Master, please taste it.”

The maid stepped forward and brought the tea to Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou took the tea and took a sip, he gave a thumbs up: “Delicious!”

Dugu BuZheng said calmly: “Is it just delicious?”

“And a little bitter.”

Xie Weilou said seriously.

“……”

Dugu BuZheng raised her eyebrows, why did it feel like playing the piano to a cow? Her tea was spiritual tea, but he only said it was delicious and added the word “bitter”?

The purpose of inviting Xie Weilou here was to test the young man’s situation. Now, looking at it, she suddenly regretted it, wasting her spiritual tea in vain.

Xie Weilou looked at Dugu BuZheng in confusion: “Did I say something wrong?”

Dugu BuZheng did not answer this question, but said: “What do you think of my son, Yan Junlin?”

Xie Weilou’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said: “The First Prince is a good person! Sincere, down-to-earth, good to friends, loyal to brothers, a good man.”

After hearing this, Dugu BuZheng subconsciously covered her brow. As a member of the royal family, these words on one’s body were obviously not good words.

Yan Junlin’s account was really ruined by her!

Dugu BuZheng waved her hand: “Continue to drink tea! After drinking this cup of tea, go back.”

“Oh.”

Xie Weilou continued to drink tea.

After a cup of tea.

He got up and saluted: “Your subject takes his leave.”

“Mm!”

Dugu BuZheng nodded lightly, signaling the palace maid to lead Xie Weilou away.

After Xie Weilou left.

Mother Xu walked out from the side.

Dugu BuZheng asked: “What do you think of him?”

Mother Xu shook her head: “This old servant secretly investigated just now, he has useless bones, a useless piece of wood!”

Dugu BuZheng asked again: “What do you think of Yan Junlin?”

Mother Xu said: “The First Prince… has good talent, but cannot hide things in his heart. If he doesn’t know how to restrain himself, it will be difficult to achieve great things.”

Dugu BuZheng stared at Mother Xu: “Ten years ago, Junlin saved you when you were injured. You owe him a life, which is why you are willing to stay by my side. Do you really think it will be difficult for him to achieve great things?”

Mother Xu shook her head: “No one can say for sure about the future. If a hidden dragon is in the abyss, it can soar through the nine heavens when the wind and clouds gather!”

She understood the meaning of this sentence, but the Empress was prejudiced against Yan Junlin and would definitely find it difficult to understand.

“Perhaps.”

Dugu BuZheng sighed softly.

Walking out of the palace.

Xie Weilou happened to meet Uncle Xue.

“Uncle, did you understand today’s events?”

Xie Weilou stepped forward and asked.

Uncle Xue was silent for a second: “Whether I understand or not, I will figure it out myself, but after all, Young Master killed my two sons… If you have time, go to my residence to apologize, and I will prepare a cup of fragrant tea.”

Xie Weilou shook his head: “I’m afraid it won’t work! The people behind you and I are different. If we get too close, someone will be unhappy.”

Uncle Xue sneered: “The struggle for power is unpredictable, the winner is king, the loser is a bandit. Until the last moment, I can also make moves at will. How can Young Master know that the paths are different?”

Xie Weilou bowed: “Thank you, Uncle, for the advice!”

“……”

Uncle Xue didn’t say much and left directly.

Xie Weilou looked at Uncle Xue’s back, smiling playfully. From beginning to end, the paths were different.

Uncle Xue’s vision was too narrow, and the so-called making moves at will was also the words of the ignorant…
