Chapter 231 (1/2)

Facing Nan Xun’s interrogation, Little Eight said calmly, “From the second one to the present.”

Nan Xun’s mouth gaped open, it was too surprising. “When did Nanyun Kingdom come into existence? At least a few hundred years, right?”

Little Eight continued unperturbed, “The Great Zhou Kingdom that once dominated the world split into the present Beiwu Kingdom, Nanyun Kingdom, Ximo Kingdom, and Dongling Kingdom. It has already been… quite a long time. Nanyun Kingdom has had ten monarchs by the way.” [T/N: North, South, West, East]

Nan Xun: !

If a monarch reigned for 30 years, then nine monarchs would be 270 years!

Nan Xun felt uncomfortable all over.

Little Eight sighed, this beast also felt uncomfortable ah. It was supposed to be kept a secret for a while until Nan Xun discovered it herself, but now he accidentally leaked it.

“Don’t tell me, this state teacher is actually an old man?” Nan Xun saw that Little Eight became silent and immediately yelled, “F*ck! Little Eight! You actually want me to attack an old monster! How can we get on intimate terms ah?”

Little Eight suddenly became deaf. He continued on calmly, “Do you want to continue listening?”

Nan Xun pouted and squeezed out one word through her teeth: “…want.”

Little Eight explained, “Moran Hall existed very early in Nanyun Kingdom. It was established when the state teacher assisted the second monarch. After so many years, he had accepted 18 disciples, 2 for each generation. They were those ‘young people’ in short white robes you saw in today’s parade.

“The second monarch was the most unremarkable prince when he was young. However, with the help of State Teacher Gong Moran, he successfully won the throne. Henceforth, the state teacher obtained a trusted and important position in the king’s heart. During his reign, the monarch loved the common people very much and was very hard-working in politics. He was deeply loved by the people. But at the same time, the state teacher’s status was also rising higher and higher, until someone reported to the emperor, saying that his achievement was too high that it overwhelmed the king himself, that he must have had used witchcraft, and that’s why that man proposed to get rid of him in secret to avoid disaster for imperial descendants later on.

“That monarch was still considered a wise man. He didn’t immediately follow that man’s advice, until later, all of the civil and military officials began to petition the king, and some ministers even remonstrated adamantly.

“After learning this, the state teacher took a blood oath that he and the disciples of Moran Hall will never covet the king’s position, and will instead help successive generations of monarchs to protect the kingdom. If this oath was violated, they would die with blood flowing out of their seven orifices.

“Tsk, this State Teacher is too OP ah, the blood oath he made personally was particularly powerful that he bound himself and all of the wicked hearts that his disciple might have.”

After listening to the truth from Little Eight’s mouth, Nan Xun had nothing to say. She just wanted to give a thumbs up to state teacher boss: You, old man, are too awesome ah.

In order to eliminate successive generations of monarch’s suspicions, he directly cast a poisonous curse on himself. His guts were too big.

It wasn’t until the procession disappeared from everyone’s sight that people on both sides of the street stood up and talked in whispers.

“It’s really State Teacher’s palanquin ah, I finally can see it today! Waiting here from early morning wasn’t futile at all ah!” said an uncle, his tone full of excitement.

“Uncle, you didn’t see the state teacher’s appearance. I looked up accidentally when the wind blew the curtain, and I happened to see State Teacher’s celestial-like face! He also smiled at me. Oh god! His appearance is simply outstanding and unparalleled! Hundreds of times more beautiful than the red light district’s top gigolo that I once saw before!” A boorish looking man at the side licked his lips vulgarly.

“You @ssh0le! How dare you compare State Teacher with a gigolo from the red district? You’re not afraid of offending him?! Be careful of a disaster happening to your family!” that uncle yelled. He was angry that the god in his heart was offended.

That boorish man clicked his tongue, turned around and left, obviously not paying attention to the curse-like warning from the uncle, still feeling pleased with himself for peeping at State Teacher’s appearance.

“AAH——” A scream suddenly sounded from close by.

Nan Xun was startled and looked over.
