AST 1924 - Hypothesis, The Formidable Barbarian Emperor
Qing Shui thought about many things in an instant. Though previously, Lin Zhennan didn’t mention too much about the Barbarian Emperor, Qing Shui remembered him. After all, the current Great Confucian Empire was under this person’s control at the moment. It didn’t matter whether or not he was simple-minded. The fact that he was able to hold the position of a “king” in an empire, that must be something about him that stood out among others.
Second Young Master Hua nodded, “Yes, the Barbarian Emperor.”
“Do you know the condition of the Barbarian Emperor?” Qing Shui asked.
“I know a bit about it.”
At the moment, Qing Shui had no idea exactly which side was the Second Young Master Hua belonged to. He used to be from Dongfang Zhiqiu’s side. And Dongfang Zhiqiu was on the same side as the Fox-Wolf Immortal Master. But now, Qing Shui felt that things might not be as simple as he thought. It seemed that the true identity of Second Young Master Hua might have become more and more mysterious.
Second Young Master Hua continued on to say, “Apparently, he is looking to get his brain fixed. For some unknown reason, the Barbarian Emperor seemed to have undergone some changes. He seemed to have become more brilliant. But at the same time, he also felt that he is unable to make proper use out of it.”
Qing Shui was even more shocked upon hearing that. This kind of situation had come to reveal a very mysterious question. For instance, no one would ever think that they were foolish. Such a case even applied to idiots. If a foolish person was aware that he was stupid, then this would cause a contradiction.
Usually, people like them were not being able to utilize their brains properly. Even if they interacted with things that they deemed as difficult, that was merely because they had no knowledge about it. If they had learned about it, it wouldn’t have been difficult. The mere reason they found it difficult was because they had yet to be exposed to it. It was more common for people to have mindsets like this. Rarely would there be a case when people actually related it to their own brain.
In the case of the Barbarian Emperor, it was indeed a weird phenomenon to suddenly have thoughts about not properly utilizing his own brain. In fact, for someone simple-minded like him, it just made it all more mysterious.
“I can try to treat his illness.” Qing Shui smiled and said. Qing Shui would never let go of the opportunity to meet such a huge guest. If suddenly, the Barbarian Emperor of the Great Confucian Empire was to become more intelligent, along with the tremendous power which he already possessed, what exactly would happen?
“Alright then. Mr. Qing, the Barbarian Emperor will come tomorrow morning. Let’s meet again when he comes.” Second Young Master Hua smiled and said.
Second Young Master Hua left. The people along the streets also went back to normal. The Imperial Cuisine Hall had gone back to run its business like normal. Be it Tian Yi or the current Imperial Cuisine Hall. Money was no longer an issue. Despite that, it was still important to earn money. Even though some of the earnings, which they got, were enough to let them live, it wasn’t enough to catch the Imperial Cuisine Hall’s eyes.
Saving people of their diseases wasn’t just about earnings, it was a mission and also a kind of virtue.
Slowly, they would begin to earn reputations of their own. Saving people and curing them of their illnesses were also largely dependent on the patients. Some people were rich, but they exhausted their bodies in the process of earning and now were required to spend their money to prolong their lives. People who were rich would be required to work more. This was like the saying “endeavor to the best of one’s abilities.” Hence, making an income from it couldn’t necessarily be considered as profiting from one’s disaster. The Imperial Cuisine Hall’s income was largely dependent on the riches.
On the next day, during noon, five people came. The person leading the group was a huge guy who was as tall as an iron tower. Qing Shui’s expression changed as soon as he saw the man. With his Heavenly Vision Technique, he managed to see a halo which looked like a mini sun on top of the person’s head. It was abundant with violet qi.
What a rich life energy!
Qing Shui was able to see certain people’s life energy with his Heavenly Vision Technique, but it was only limited to people with unique physique or inheritance. It was his first time seeing something like this today. He didn’t know if it was due to his Heavenly Vision Technique making some breakthrough during this time or he only managed to witness such an existence today.
Qing Shui still had an idea of what he saw in his mind. If he saw a red light, it came to say that the person possessed a decent life force. The said person was bound to be rich and prosperous one day. In the case of the huge guy he was seeing, it was something which resembled a miniature sun. It revealed that he was bound to become a Heavenly Emperor.
The huge guy was half a head taller than Qing Shui. He had a very huge figure. His skin color was a bit lighter than “dark” with a healthy face and bright eyes. He was a very dignified man. Although, behind his dignified look, it lacked some sort of rhythm and characters.
When Qing Shui saw the huge guy behind the Second Young Master Hua, he automatically knew the identity of the man.
The Barbarian Emperor!
