Chapter 136: Father, I Made a Mistake
“Father! I’m going to start practicing! The noise is too loud, please forgive me.”
Qin Bei shouted with his hands cupped around his mouth, looking at Emperor Xia in the attic.
He wanted to see if Emperor Xia would eavesdrop…
But…
Emperor Xia didn’t even lift his head; it was clear he hadn’t heard a word.
Qin Bei took out the Wan Mie Gun and stared at the strange stone in front of him…
“Why doesn’t it follow the usual rules? Am I really going to train here for half a month?”
Qin Bei muttered to himself.
That was absolutely impossible.
Hardcore training just wasn’t his style.
Besides, his system’s krypton gold points were completely depleted; he needed to gather enough before entering the royal tomb.
At the very least, he had to comprehend that so-called Void Sutra.
With that thought, Qin Bei swung the spear.
Since sound couldn’t be heard, shouldn’t the vibrations be felt?
So…
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
The two soldiers outside looked at Qin Bei, exchanging glances.
They had always thought the spear was a divine weapon meant for single target strikes.
But watching Qin Bei now, they finally realized that the spear could also attack in a wide area?
They watched as one pristine cabinet became a wreck in mere moments.
Inside the pavilion.
“Ahem, Your Majesty, I’m feeling a bit unwell today, I’d like to…”
Gongsun Yao’s words were cut short as he fell silent.
He had spotted Emperor Xia’s grim expression.
“I want to… work harder, finish reviewing quickly, I can handle it!”
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, another tremor shook the room.
Though no sound was audible, Gongsun Yao’s body hopped up…
Then came thudding back down.
Of course, the same fate befell Chang Tang.
Seeing this, Emperor Xia could only shake his head, exasperated.
“Forget about the cabinet rules; just use your cultivation to float.”
Emperor Xia replied calmly.
“Yes.”
Then the three of them began to levitate, the memorials raised up with them, all levitating together.
Now, no matter how much Qin Bei outside stirred up chaos, it would be futile.
Ten minutes later…
Ding~~~
Gongsun Yao and Chang Tang watched as the Wan Mie Gun suddenly impaled itself into the ground, their cheeks twitching.
In the next breath, Qin Bei materialized into the pavilion, hurriedly apologizing.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I didn’t practice properly; the spear flew out, that was a mistake! A mistake!”
After saying that, Qin Bei went over to the Wan Mie Gun, pulled it up, and left the attic.
Ten minutes later…
“I’m sorry, sorry! That was an error, don’t worry, I guarantee there won’t be a next time!”
Qin Bei exited the pavilion once again with the Wan Mie Gun.
Another ten minutes passed…
“Right…”
“How dare you!”
This time, Qin Bei couldn’t take the Wan Mie Gun away.
Because Emperor Xia had reached his limit.
Qin Bei was wreaking havoc without any restraint.
What Emperor Xia didn’t expect, however, was that Qin Bei seemed utterly unafraid, and was even a bit confused himself.
The next moment, a gold medal appeared in Qin Bei’s hand.
“Father, where did I go wrong? What do you say?”
Emperor Xia:…
Oh, what a pitfall! I knew that exoneration medal would bring chaos in Qin Bei’s hands; I just didn’t expect it to escalate like this.
“You… you’re not wrong!”
Eventually, Emperor Xia suppressed his anger and spoke to Qin Bei.
“Then I’ll step outside to continue practicing my spear.”
As Qin Bei prepared to walk off with the Wan Mie Gun once more…
“Wait!”
Qin Bei turned back to look at Emperor Xia. “Does Father have any further instructions?”
With a soft exhalation, Emperor Xia replied, “Since that stone can aid your training, take it back to your own manor to practice. The cabinet… really isn’t a suitable place for that.”
“Ahem~”
After hearing this, Qin Bei almost burst out laughing but managed to stifle it, coughing to cover his embarrassment.
“Since Father is willing to part with it, I have no reason to refuse. Thank you for your generosity, Father!”
Qin Bei bowed to Emperor Xia and then exited the pavilion, stone in hand, heading home.
“Phew~”
Gongsun Yao and Chang Tang both sighed in relief.
Finally, they could review the memorials in peace.
The next day, only fourteen days remained until the imperial mausoleum’s opening.
Emperor Xia and the two ministers went about reviewing memorials as usual.
Day after day, if you lack patience, you really can’t be an emperor.
“Ha!”
“Ha!”
“Ha!”
A familiar sound reached the ears of the three reviewing the memorials.
Qin Bei was back…
“What now?”
Emperor Xia appeared again, looking at Qin Bei with a helpless expression.
“Father, after bringing that strange stone back to the manor yesterday, my training speed has accelerated drastically.”
Emperor Xia knew Qin Bei was talking nonsense. An ordinary stone could really improve one’s training? What a joke.
But he replied, “Isn’t that good? Why not stay at the manor instead of coming to the cabinet?”
“It is good, but I’m already bored with that stone, so I came back early to look for something new. After all, there’s nothing in my manor to make me feel comfortable. Everything was taken by those from the Ministry of Revenue.”
Qin Bei mentioned once again the items that were looted from him.
“What do you want this time?”
Emperor Xia asked impatiently.
As soon as Qin Bei heard this, he perked up, walking toward a large stone nearby and said straightforwardly, “This one. Just looking at it makes me feel like I can train well.”
Emperor Xia:…..
“Can’t you pick something else? Another stone?”
Emperor Xia could only be speechless.
“Don’t worry, Father, this time I promise to be very quiet and I absolutely won’t disturb you from reviewing the memorials.”
Qin Bei grinned.
“Fine! I permit it!”
Emperor Xia went back to the attic.
As he returned, he spotted Gongsun Yao and the others rubbing their temples…
Ten minutes later…
“Father, I made a mistake, but I promise! There won’t be another mistake!”
Another ten minutes passed…
“Father, I…”
“Take the stone and get out!”
Emperor Xia finally couldn’t endure it any longer. With a wave of his hand, Qin Bei was sent out of the cabinet without any resistance.
…
On the third day, only thirteen days remained until the imperial mausoleum opened.
Once again, Qin Bei showed up at the cabinet to “train.”
But today, no matter how he tried to cause trouble, it was useless.
The noise inside couldn’t be heard, and he attempted to smash the ground to create vibrations.
Yet as soon as he tried, he was bounced back by a force.
Since nothing seemed to work, Qin Bei directly grabbed the Wan Mie Gun and, in a javelin-like pose, threw it towards the attic.
Ding!
Initially, Qin Bei thought the Wan Mie Gun would enter the pavilion, but instead, it was stopped by an invisible force that caused it to crash heavily to the ground with noise.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, Qin Bei couldn’t help but curse.
“Oh, that’s brutal!”
He realized that Emperor Xia had set up a barrier.
Though it appeared casual, it was evidently far more powerful than the last time.
At least now, no matter how Qin Bei tried to stir things up outside, those inside could quietly review the memorials.
Could Qin Bei stand for this?
Of course not!
A barrier, huh? I don’t believe I can’t break through with just a casual gesture!
Anyway, Qin Bei was determined to go toe-to-toe with Emperor Xia, and he absolutely had to make the Emperor yield before the royal tomb opened!
Qin Bei slowly approached the outermost edge of the barrier, lightly touching it with his hand; it felt just like air, with no sensation.
However, when Qin Bei tried to step inside, he found himself blocked by an unseen force that kept him out.
