1607 The Discussion in Stars-picking Pavilion (1/2)

In the deep evening, Stars-picking Pavilion, Xuanyuan Hill...

In long robe, Xuanyuan Changying was standing on the top of Stars-picking Pavilion which was higher than 200 m. Hands on back, he had been looking up at the stars for two hours without moving.

Not until his trusted bodyguard said in a low tone with footsteps, ”Your Majesty, Mr. Fang has arrived...” did he let out a long sigh and turn around abruptly. Being as silent as before, he strode towards the study room...

In the study room, a literati in green robe was waiting there. Xuanyuan Changying opened the curtain, causing jade beads quiver like how rain beat plantain leaves. Closely after that, Xuanyuan Changying strode forward with the wind as he said, ”Mr. Fang...”

”Your Majesty, you're going to be the emperor of Taixia Country and rule humans and the universe. As an emperor, you should not change your face even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you. However, Your Majesty has already lost your mind due to the event of the black invitation cards. This is a taboo for the emperor. The greater the event is, the calmer Your Majesty should be...” the literati in green robe watched Xuanyuan Changying in an extremely conscientious and unprecedentedly stern look.

”I know my fault, but it's great urgency. Therefore, I have to call Mr. Fang back from Cangzhou Province for the countermeasure...” Xuanyuan Changying explained as he bowed towards that literati.

”After 4-5 hours' trip by airboat, I'm a bit hungry and thirsty. It's said that Your Majesty's teaism is great in the royal palace and once won the favor of the former Emperor Xuanyuan. How about performing your teaism for Qingming first, Your Majesty?” Mr. Fang said as he took off his boots and sat down quietly beside the tea table. Watching Xuanyuan Changying calmly, he continued, ”In such a beautiful day, it's elegant for us to drink tea in Stars-picking Pavilion and listen to the blow of wind...”

Xuanyuan Changying instantly got Mr. Fang's meaning as he took in a deep breath and took off his shoes too. Sitting on the opposite of Mr. Fang, teapoy in between, he clapped his hands, having maids serve tea set.

The teaism of Taixia Country was extensive and profound. One hour flashed since Xuanyuan Changying started to perform his teaism.

The anxiety of Xuanyuan Changying slowly faded away as the scented tea water entered his mouth. As a result, his blue face slightly turned kind after Xuanyuan Changying had a cup of tea.

In the process, Mr. Fang remained silent. He just saw Xuanyuan Changying gradually slow his movement and pour tea water into teacups on the teapoy as fluently as flowing clouds and water like how blossoms opened and fell. Then, Mr. Fang gradually revealed a faint smile.

'In teaism, human and tea control each other. Although I work for a royal prince. In my opinion, everything in the world is a piece, including Emperor Xuanyuan and royal prince. If I want to use the royal prince as a piece, I should be involved in the game too. There's actually no border between player and piece. It's just a matter of realm. If I could have a fight in the big game and remain famous forever, I would live up to my learning and ambition.' Fang Qingming thought inside.

After having two cups of tea, Mr. Fang put down the teacup as he slowly opened his mouth, ”It's a deadlock!”

The moment he heard Mr. Fang's words, Xuanyuan Changying, having just recovered his composure, had quivered his hand, sprayed some tea water over the teapoy. Watching the bit of tea water on the teapoy, His Majesty heaved a sigh inside as he lightly put down the teacup and asked, ”Why do you say so, Mr. Fang?”

”These black invitation cards are definitely not the products of the whim of top three sects; nor do they send them because of the event of the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, although top three sects couldn't bear their losses. There's only one reason——the top three sects have been scared of Zhang Tie too much as they don't want to spare time for Zhang Tie to grow up anymore. In my opinion, when Zhang Tie killed the heavenly demon knight at the bank of Weishui River, they had already prepared the three black invitation cards!” Mr. Fang said calmly as wise light flashed across his eyes.

Xuanyuan Changying was shocked at a stroke as he appeared knowing something, ”But why now?”

”There're two reasons——first, after the battle at the bank of Weishui River, Zhang Tie made a great contribution to Taixia Country and humans and won a great prestige. Besides, he was severely injured. At that moment, the top three sects had intended to launch a challenge to Zhang Tie; however, they couldn't find any excuse; otherwise, they would become the target of the public. Therefore, they kept bearing it since then. However, there was one more important reason, which is because of Your Majesty!”

”Aah, because of me?” Xuanyuan Changying became startled.

”Yes, because of you. If not Zhang Tie instantly expressed that he would like to stand on your side and make Your Majesty more popular among people and closer to the throne, I think the powers of the top three sects should try to contact Zhang Tie and persuaded him to join them. By contrast, now, as long as they seized a bit chance in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, they had intended to kill Zhang Tie. If they succeeded, they would break one arm of Your Majesty. Their fast and fierce move is equal to admit their disguise...”

As Xuanyuan Changying was smart, he instantly understood what Mr. Fang meant. He was shocked so much that he didn't make a response until a few minutes later, ”Mr. Fang, you mean...”

”Yes, the top three sects have already been involved in the war for the throne of Taixia Country. Additionally, Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou who sent black invitation cards to Zhang Tie must not root for Your Majesty; instead, they must support third prince or ninth prince...”

”Audacious...” Xuanyuan Changying was irritated as he slapped onto the teapoy. Giving out light weirdly, the tea set disappeared in the eyes of Mr. Fang due to the great battle qi of Xuanyuan Changying; instead of being broken into pieces.

'Is this the power of Xuanyuan Deity Sutra? If it was used for a commoner or an ordinary knight, that person might have been crushed into sh*t by such a palm. As it was Mr. Fang's first time to see Xuanyuan Changying lose his temper, Fang Qingming's heart raced as he thought, 'But...the tea water, what a pity...'

Watching the empty seat in front of him, Mr. Fang shook his head helplessly...

”How dare they do that? How dare they do that?” Xuanyuan Changying was driven mad as he sprung up and walked here and there in the room like a mad lion while giving out his killing intent, ”Top six sects are forbidden to intervene with internal politics. It's the rule fixed between my father and the top six sects. After my father disappears, they become so rebellious. Besides, they even join the war for the throne of Taixia Country and intended to abolish me and advocate another royal prince. That's too audacious! That's too audacious! I will summon the top four armies along with Military God to annihilate those bandits. I will chop off their heads; chop off their heads...”

”Your Majesty, do you really want to call back Military God?” Mr. Fang heaved a sigh as he continued, ”If Military God is fetched back, the first one being beheaded would be me; instead of the knights of the top three sects as I would be accused of bewildering the royal prince so that Your Majesty would do such a stupid thing. As a result, the country as a whole would be in chaos. By then, Military God would definitely have Your Majesty send my head to the top three sects for their forgiveness. Besides, Your Majesty shall at least send a notice of self-condemnation and admit your fault to the rest of the world. It's not an end yet. After that, Your Majesty's reputation would decline greatly while all sorts of gossips that Your Majesty is not suitable to take the throne would be popular across the country. Advocated by someone, the one who was rooted for by the top three sects might return to Xuanyuan Hill and take the throne aboveboard...”

After hearing Fang Qingming's words, Xuanyuan Changying who was furious instantly became petrified like being poured with a basin of water. At the same time, he recovered his composure.
