Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Zheng Liu looked at the letter in his hand, reading it over and over again. The more he looked, the more he found something amiss.

Finally, Zheng Liu indeed discovered quite a few oddities.

My son came to Wudu without my knowledge.

Then he accidentally offended the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

At this time, the son of the Grand Pillar State also got involved.

Leaving aside how my son was tricked into coming to Wudu, isn't this too coincidental?

How could my son have happened to meet the son of the Grand Pillar State while listening to music in a teahouse?

And then, coincidentally, the granddaughter of that storyteller just happened to be as beautiful as a flower, arousing evil thoughts in my son.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his son had been set up.

“Master?” The old servant saw his master staring at the letter, unwilling to leave, and asked with concern.

“Go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and tell the adults there that I will be there soon,” Zheng Liu said to his old servant.

“Yes.”

Although he didn't know what was suddenly wrong with his master, since his master had said so, he had no choice but to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and inform those adults.

It's just that this old servant's legs were a bit shaky. He had heard of the Embroidered Uniform Guard before. Recently, various rumors about the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been circulating in the imperial city. In short, those people in the Embroidered Uniform Guard were all people who ate people without spitting out bones.

After the old servant left, Zheng Liu called for a servant: “Prepare a carriage and go directly to the Yan King's mansion!”

“Yes!” The servant quickly responded and went to do it.

Soon, a carriage stopped in front of the Dali Temple Minister's residence.

Zheng Liu hurriedly got into the carriage.

At the same time, at the Grand Pillar State's residence.

Grand Pillar State Mo Peinan was practicing boxing in the courtyard.

Having reached Mo Peinan's level, everything he had learned in his life had already been integrated into his soul. These boxing techniques he practiced daily were no longer of any use to him. It was more of a habit developed over many years.

This Grand Pillar State of the Five Kingdoms was one of the few martial artists with the highest realm today.

The Boundary Realm, also known as the Dead End.

In Mo Peinan's view, the words "Dead End" were indeed too appropriate.

Mo Peinan indeed felt that he was unable to move forward.

Even though there were not many people in this world who were Mo Peinan's opponents, the feeling of helplessness when faced with the inability to advance in martial arts could easily lead to a mental breakdown.

This was not Mo Peinan feeling helpless about his lifespan.

Even if a Celestial Ascension Realm cultivator could live for ten thousand years, so what?

The three hundred years he had lived were already enough. Living that long was useless.

Rather, it was when you discovered that the thing you had believed in all your life had reached its end and you could not break free from the shackles, you would feel despair, both for yourself and for the martial artists of the future.

“Boom!”

Mo Peinan threw a punch, and a corner of a rockery in the courtyard was shattered by the strong old man, and gravel splashed.

The stones in the courtyard were not ordinary stones. Whether it was the stone table or the paving stones, even the rockery in the distance, all of these stones were exceptionally hard.

These stones were generally used to build top-level magic arrays and the like.

And only such things could withstand the Boundary Realm martial artist practicing boxing in the courtyard.

Otherwise, if it were any other ordinary stones, the entire courtyard would have collapsed after the old man finished a set of punches.

“Master, something bad has happened.”

Just as Mo Peinan had finished his boxing stance, an old servant walked in.

“What is it?” Mo Peinan looked at the old servant who had been following him.

His servant was usually very calm and wouldn't be so alarmed unless something urgent and serious had really happened.

“Master, please take a look at this letter.”

The old servant handed the letter sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Mo Peinan.

Looking at the seal on the envelope symbolizing the "Embroidered Uniform Guard," Mo Peinan was puzzled and tore open the letter.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Mo Peinan frowned, his expression looking very displeased: “How could he have a conflict with the Embroidered Uniform Guard?”

Mo Peinan was puzzled.

Mo Yuanshan was Mo Peinan's only son, and Mo Peinan could be said to be very fond of his son, but Mo Peinan had not always spoiled his son.

He could be uneducated, but he must never disregard the laws of the Wu Kingdom.

Because Mo Peinan was very clear that the Mo family's current prestige was all because of him.

But he wouldn't live for many more years. If he usually obeyed the law, no matter what, he could live a carefree life, and no matter what, His Majesty would remember the old friendship.

But if he messed around, even if His Majesty temporarily forgave him, so what?

After he died, his son wouldn't live for many days.

So all along, Mo Yuanshan had been quite obedient.

What was going on today?

Suddenly he had offended someone, and it was the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the one he couldn't afford to offend the most?!

Mo Peinan felt that there must be something behind this. His son might have been used as a pawn by someone.

“Prepare the carriage and go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. I'll just go and see that Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander.”

Mo Peinan didn't want to think too much about anything. In Mo Peinan's view, the really troublesome person was not him, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty,”

Eunuch Wei Xun ran while shouting and bowing.

Not far away, Emperor Wu was admiring flowers in the courtyard with Consort Xiao.

“Ouch.”

Wei Xun shouted, then deliberately stepped on his right foot with his left foot and fell in front of Emperor Wu.

“This servant greets Your Majesty.” Wei Xun quickly got up and kowtowed to Emperor Wu and Consort Xiao.

“You, you,” Emperor Wu kicked Wei Xun, “Always like this, take things slowly! If you scare Consort Xiao, I'll skin you alive!”

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me.” Wei Xun quickly kowtowed.

“Speak, what is it? Why is it bad news again?” Emperor Wu looked at Wei Xun helplessly.

It was not easy for things to be a little quieter these past few days, but it turned out that something had happened again, which made Emperor Wu not know what to say.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Grand Pillar State and the Dali Temple Minister have both gone to the Embroidered Uniform Guard,” Wei Xun swallowed and said.

“The Embroidered Uniform Guard?” Emperor Wu was stunned, “What are they doing at the Embroidered Uniform Guard?”

“Because... because...” Wei Xun's forehead broke out in cold sweat, “The Commander... the Commander has arrested their sons.”
