AST 1866 - Change, The Great Confucion Dynasty (1/2)

Qing Shui summoned his courage and gently kissed her cheek before letting her go. It swept past her face just like a dragonfly touching the water lightly.

Tantai Lingyan froze in shock. However, she didn’t seem to be strongly against it. She was very panicked and confused with the situation. The temporary interaction between her cheek and his lips had caused her heart to start throbbing.

Qing Shui smiled at Tantai Lingyan before moving forward to carry Yiye Jiange and turned her around. With Yiye Jiange was carrying Qing Xiu, Qing Shui embraced her together along with their son.

After putting down Yiye Jiange, he continued on to hug Luo Qingcheng, Qing Hanye, Muyun Qingge, and Qin Qing one by one. By now, Qing Shui knew that he mustn’t show discriminations to any of them. Besides, Qing Shui had also managed to think things through.

Qing Shui’s return had been quite a surprise to them. For a long time, this man had rarely been at home. There were even times when he wouldn’t show up for years.

“How have all of you been?” Qing Shui asked casually while carrying Qing Xiu.

“We have all been great. However, the Ice Domain Dynasty has changed its king.” Qin Qing reported.

“What? The Ice Ocean Domain changed its king? What happened?” Qing Shui asked curiously.

Qing Shui wasn’t really concerned about who was in charge of the Ice Ocean Domain. With that said, Linhai City was the second largest city in the Ice Domain Dynasty and both Lan Clan and Imperial Cuisine Hall was there. If the Ice Domain Dynasty were to change its king, both Lan Clan and Imperial Cuisine Hall would be influenced by it.

“The Great Confucian Empire has managed to take down the royal clan of the Ice Domain Dynasty.” Qin Qing sounded a bit upset as she spoke.

“The Great Confucian Empire? Seems like they must be some sort of monsters to be able to pull off such a thing.” Qing Shui knew that those who were called empires were existences which greatly surpassed the dynasties. They were also much more powerful compared to the ordinary immortal sects. They were formed from many different dynasties.

“How is the Great Qin Dynasty?” Qing Shui was more or less able to figure out what had happened by judging by Qin Qing’s depressed look.

“Qin Clan has withdrawn from it.” Qin Qing said in an upset tone.

“Is your family alright?” Qing Shui asked in concern.

“The Great Confucian Empire hardly ever kill or injure anyone. They have said themselves that they had managed to convince people with their moral and used their overwhelming power to threaten us. Basically, it’s just another way of saying that they oppressed others using their power. However, it is true that they hardly ever kill anyone.” Although things might be as it seemed, Qin Qing was actually very happy. The fact that everyone was still in perfect shape despite getting thrown off the throne was already considered to be very lucky.

Nothing could possibly be better than a person being safe.

“The Great Confucian Empire sounds quite interesting.” Qing Shui was reminded of the confucian thoughts which existed back in his previous incarnation. Confucius was a person with great knowledge and wisdom. There was nothing which he didn’t know about. There was also another theory according to the legends which claimed that the Nature Energy directly led to the nine heavens. By merely swinging one’s hand, they would be able to unleash powerful righteous energies capable of penetrating through anything. It was even said to be immune to damage by any sort of treacherous and murderous sinister ways.

Of course, those were all just myths. Whether or not it was true, Qing Shui didn’t know about it. However, one thing he was certain about was that the Great Confucian Empire in the World of the Nine Continents definitely possessed this kind of power. Besides, Qin Qing had also stated it before this.

“As of now, more than ten of the dynasties nearby are already under the Great Confucian Empire’s control.” Qin Qing carried on and said.

“So in other words, the Qin Clan and the former royal clans of the Ice Domain Dynasty have now all been reverted into ordinary people?” Qing Shui wanted to know how the Great Confucian Empire had allocated these people.

“The Great Confucian Empire allowed the people from before to continue reigning as kings with the condition that they must listen to the orders of Great Confucian Empire. If they don’t follow their order, they would immediately be removed as kings.”
