Tang Zi fell silent. Her eyes showed that she was thinking hard.

After a while, the spiritual qi storm was still there, and it did not disappear. In fact, she felt her inner spiritual qi start to go out of control under the influence of the storm.

“Tang Zi, what happened?” Ling Yun was astonished. “How could it be possible for the Earth Warrior-tier breakthrough to cause such a strong effect to the people around? Moreover, our cultivation level is higher than the princess. How can she affect us…?”

Tang Zi raised her head. “A few years ago, I was able to witness the battle of two warriors from Dark Warrior-tier and the storm caused by their battle did affect my inner qi as well. Apart from that incident, I have never experienced the same feeling anymore.”

Who knew how strong a Dark Warrior was? In the whole of Liu Yun Kingdom, Spirit Warrior-tier was already considered as the strongest among others.

What was the reason behind the princess’s unusual breakthrough…

“Moreover, if I am not mistaken, Princess was still a Beginner Warrior lower-tier two months ago, but now she’s reached the Earth Warrior-tier in one step. Don’t you feel strange about it?”

Ling Yun bit her lip softly in hesitation. “Then this incident…”

“Nobody is allowed to talk about this matter. If this incident is spread out, get ready to face military punishment!” Tang Zi warned and glared coldly at the soldiers behind her. Her tone was stern when giving the command, “Send the princess back to her manor instantly. I will report to His Majesty now.”

“Yes, Commander!” Everyone responded in full respect.

Tang Zi glanced at her people one more time before turning around. She disappeared like a gust of wind from the courtyard.

Zheng He Hall

Feng Tianyu leaned against the headboard while an imperial physician checked his pulse. After a moment, the imperial physician frowned deeper as time passed. His old and aged face seemed helpless.

When Feng Tianyu saw the imperial physician’s facial expression, he had already predicted the outcome. His lip curved upwards a little. “Imperial Physician Liu, I know my own body. Just give me hawthorn berries later, then you may leave.”

Imperial Physician Liu kneeled down with a thud. He sobbed, “Your Majesty, you must not consume hawthorn berries anymore. Although it can replenish your energy and make you healthy in a short time, it comes with side effects. Your health will eventually deteriorate.”

Feng Tianyu frowned a little, but his voice remained indifferent. “It doesn’t matter, I will hold on for her as long as I can. If the people get to know that I have fallen sick, it will bring disaster to Liu Yun Kingdom. I am not willing… to see Qing’er get hurt.”

In these past few years, his health had been deteriorating. He was aware of it.

Everyone thought he was as fit as a fiddle, but it was only because of the hawthorn berries.

After all… he could only live for a few more years. If he could hold on longer and do more work, perhaps he could avenge Yan’er. He was willing to sacrifice anything as long as it was worth it.

“Your Majesty.”

Suddenly, a guard came in and reported to him respectfully, “Commander of the Iron-Blooded Troop, Tang Zi, requests to meet Your Majesty.”

Feng Tianyu was startled. As he knew, Tang Zi had rarely left the small courtyard unless it was for a very important reason.

Was it… due to Qing’er?

“All of you can leave now. Let Tang Zi come in.”

He tried to sit up by holding onto the bed for support. He coughed a few times. The hawthorn berry he had last eaten had already lost its effect. So, he was unable to look as healthy as he usually was.

Everyone bowed and left. Meanwhile, a person with a strong and heroic silhouette walked in from the entrance.

She clasped her fists and bowed respectfully. “Tang Zi has come to pay respects to Your Majesty.”

“You can forgo the formality.” Feng Tianyu raised his hand once. “Is there anything that you want to report to me?”

“Your Majesty, just now… Princess Royal managed to breakthrough Earth Warrior-tier and… I think her breakthrough situation was a bit unusual. That’s why I have especially come to report it to Your Majesty in hopes that Your Majesty can advise me on this matter.”
