Chapter 499: Are You Really Not Going To Cultivate?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the eastern, western, southern, and northern regions, there were royal families, but their presence was not so prominent.
At least, that was the case within the major sects.
The most well-known were the immortal sects, like the Clear Sky School.
Even though it was in the east, Jiang Hao had heard the sect’s name plenty of times.
As for the southern royal family, he had only heard of them recently.
BoxNovel.comIn the past, it was either seen in books or mentioned in passing.
This time, it was mainly because of the marriage alliance that it came to everybody’s attention.
Even though he knew of the existence of the royal family, he only thought of them as a group of people who ruled over most of the states and prefectures.
They had long lifespans only because they were considered special.
But he didn’t expect that the existence of the royal family had a direct relationship with the prosperity of the southern land.
If prosperity and abundance could take back the favor from the land, then who would even strive to govern and make the South prosperous?
Was it possible that most of the poverty in the South was caused by the royal family to remain in power?
“It’s similar to what you’re thinking, but not exactly the same.” Hong Yuye shook her head. “Chaos and poverty cannot help them obtain more favor. When there is a lot of grievance and suffering, it can actually weaken the favor. Only in special circumstances, it can increase the favor. The situation is too complex to be explained simply.”
“So, if the favor is bestowed to promote prosperity, wouldn’t the South be in a different situation?” Jiang Hao asked.
“The southern land is not a person, and favor cannot be easily revoked.” Hong Yuye looked at the sunrise. “If the royal family possesses unparalleled favor, then what will happen to the land?”
‘They might enslave and govern the land for their own gain.’ That was what came into Jiang Hao’s mind.
Human greed knows no bounds.
This kind of thing is bound to happen.
At this point, the sun had already risen, and Hong Yuye looked at the person beside her. “And who told you that the earth needs life to flourish? Is it good for the earth?”
Jiang Hao was stunned. He then understood.
Indeed, the more prosperous the land was, the more it would be exploited.
How could that be a good thing?
And the land also needed the presence of humans.
After all, when the land faced destruction, if there were no immortals, everything would cease to exist.
For example, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl could only be suppressed by people of great luck. The people of great luck were obviously human.
Jiang Hao understood that, but he thought that the royal family would likely do things beyond his expectations in order to gain more favor.
But not every ruler of the royal family might act like that, so there’s no need to worry too much.
After all, it didn’t concern him much.
As for the purpose behind the marriage alliance, Jiang Hao couldn’t figure it out.
Hong Yuye got up and glanced at the courtyard. “Where’s the tea?”
“Here.” Jiang Hao took out the teapot.
Hong Yuye took the teapot and shook it twice. She then looked at the person in front of her. “Empty?
“There are only tea leaves left,” Jiang Hao said.
“What about the tea?”
“I’ll brew a new pot for you right away.”
Taking the teapot, Jiang Hao took out the tea leaves and began to work.
As Hong Yuye sat down, a new table and chairs appeared.
The balcony wasn’t that big, and it looked a bit crowded, but it was enough for two people to sit.
Jiang Hao felt that it was necessary to expand the balcony so that Hong Yuye would have no reason to complain.
“Was there a new gathering?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
He poured himself a cup as well.
This time, he brewed Heavenly Sky Snow Bud tea. It cost him 250 spirit stones.
He had already brewed September Spring several times before and couldn’t continue with it.
He would leave the remaining tea dregs for the spirit beast.
He secretly observed Hong Yuye as she drank her tea.
Fortunately, there were no extreme reactions.
He was relieved.
If she frowned, he would switch to Red Azure tea.
Fortunately, Hong Yuye’s mind was not on tea right now.
Jiang Hao began to talk about the last gathering. There was nothing special to note.
He started with the Saint Bandits. Hong Yuye remained quiet.
Then, she stretched out her finger and, suddenly, a little girl appeared outside.
It was Xiao Li. She was asleep.
Jiang Hao was astonished. How did Xiao Li end up here?
Hong Yuye didn’t wake her.
She gently placed her on the courtyard seat, and then said, “Go on.”
Jiang Hao didn’t mention Yin Wei’s matter and talked about the deal with Liu instead.
The main point of this matter was about Chi Tian’s whereabouts.
However, it seemed that the woman in front of him wasn’t very concerned about it.
This was good. He could delay the main investigation a little while longer.
Jiang Hao also mentioned the southern royal family and their connection with the Saint Bandits.
“The southern royal family have contacts with the Saint Bandits?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Yes. It may be for cooperation related to bestowing talents and the like,” Jiang Hao said.
Hong Yuye shook her head. “Impossible! The royal family would not have such cooperation with the Saint Bandits.”
“Why?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
In his view, it was understandable for the royal family to cooperate with the Saint Bandits.
Normally, those with innate talents were few.
Even if the royal family was special, the vast majority did not possess innate talents.
It was very difficult for them to have a genius of their own.
So, the abilities of the Saint Bandits were what they needed.
“Because they are the royal family, and they are blessed by the favor of the southern land. The path the Saint Bandits take is completely opposite to theirs. Unless the royal family is willing to give up their royal status, they wouldn’t consort with the Saint Bandits.” Hong Yuye put down her teacup.
Jiang Hao was surprised.
It seemed that those favored by the land couldn’t strip others of their talents.
If they weren’t collaborating, why were the two sides connected?
In any case, the Saint Bandits and the royal family were not good people. There would surely be a lot of trouble in this marriage alliance.
Hong Yuye didn’t bring up the matter anymore, and Jiang Hao began to talk about the Heavenly King, Hai Luo.
He thought Hong Yuye wouldn’t be interested in this, but unexpectedly, she was listening carefully.
He talked about everything from beginning to end.
Helplessly, Jiang Hao began to talk about Miao Anxian.
He told her everything from Miao Anxian using Hai Luo’s resources to get stronger to her ending up in the Abyssal Sea.
“Do you think she can still survive?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye shook her head. She didn’t speak.
Throughout the entire story, Jiang Hao also tactfully concealed the events regarding Chi Tian.
He had found Chi Tian and sent him a message. He could tell her that another time.
After putting down the teacup, Hong Yuye gradually disappeared.
At this moment, a piece of paper fell on the table.
It was a formation blueprint.
After a quick look, Jiang Hao knew it could be used to upgrade the formations around the courtyard.
He didn’t quite understand it and would need to consult with some other people.
Then, he would buy the materials needed.
It would cost quite a few spirit stones.
“I wonder if selling the invitation card will be enough for the upgrade.”
Jiang Hao planned to wander around and see who needed an invitation card to the royal wedding.
At this time, cries for help came from below. It was the spirit beast.
Xiao Li also yawned.
She seemed puzzled and wondered how she had fallen asleep.
In the Imperial City in the southern region, Bi Zhu walked out of the room and found a young man waiting for her.
“Elder Brother?” She was quite happy to see him. “I heard you’ve advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm?”
“Yes.” Bi You smiled. “I just advanced.. How about you? Are you really not going to cultivate?”
