“Master, once you take action, the grandmasters of these major sects will definitely not stand idly by.”
The young man's expression changed drastically. The Yin-Yang School, the Mohist School, and the Agricultural School all had Grandmaster-level experts. Once his master decided to take action, it would mean going against the major schools.
Even with his extraordinary combat power, Master would likely be overwhelmed if he faced several Grandmasters single-handedly...
Having thought this through, the young man dared not think any further.
“Ming’er, I know the outcome, but this is the mission of our Zongjian Dao.” Gai Wushuang said slowly. “For the sake of the common people, we are willing to die and perish.”
"His Majesty Fang Chen is an enigmatic figure; even I, his teacher, cannot see through him."
"The salt purification process he brought removes a large number of impurities from the salt, leaving behind salt that is beneficial to the human body. People who use purified salt for a long time will have a much lower chance of getting sick!"
"The hybrid rice breeding technology he brought with him, known as Longping, increased rice yields several times over. He..."
"Your Majesty is truly unfathomable!"
Gai Wushuang gazed at the sky. The current emperor, Fang Chen, remained a mystery in terms of his origins.
He had investigated before, but to no avail. His Majesty first appeared in Wancheng, Jiangdong. He rose from Wancheng and his rise was unstoppable. In the end, with the advantage of powerful firearms, he defeated more than ten warlords and unified the Three Kingdoms.
Then, with unstoppable momentum, they subjugated the large and small islands overseas, and General Gan Ning even went west for 100,000 miles, expanding the territory of the Tianfang Dynasty three or four times.
"Master, is there no other way to resolve this matter?"
The young man knelt before Gai Wushuang and wept bitterly. He had been adopted by his master since childhood, and the kindness he received was as heavy as a mountain.
He knew he couldn't change his master's decision, but there was nothing he could do.
Gai Wushuang did not answer, but gently stroked the young man's head and sighed. "Ming'er, from this day forward, you are no longer Zhuo Yiming, but Gai Yiming! The sole successor of the Ghost Valley School's Vertical Sword Technique!"
"Master!!"
Gai Yiming was deeply shocked. His master had decided that, for the sake of all living beings, he would have to face the grandmasters of several major sects.
"Master, please don't leave us..."
Just then, outside the pharmacy, at the crescent-shaped archway, two slender figures appeared, standing there gracefully.
If Fang Chen were here now, he would definitely recognize that these two were the two Qiaos whom he had once imprisoned in the Jingzhou prison, waiting to be dealt with later!
They had overheard the conversation between the master and the young man.
They never imagined that their master, besides being a master of medicine, had another identity: the peerless sword master of the Hidden Sect, the Sword Saint Gai Wushuang!
They have always followed their master to collect herbs, learn medicine, and save lives.
They couldn't tell at all that their master possessed martial arts skills.
“Wan’er, Wei’er, in this life, there are things we must do; this is my mission…” Gai Wushuang said apologetically. “I originally had my own plans for accepting you as my disciples.”
"master......"
The two women were taken aback, wondering why their master would say such a thing.
Gai Yiming, standing to the side, looked at his two junior sisters and had already vaguely guessed his master's thoughts.
"The world is in chaos. To find a wise ruler for the sake of millions of people, your master's intention is that once a wise ruler appears, you should emulate the example of Ehuang and Nüying in assisting Emperor Shun and assist the current wise ruler!"
Gai Wushuang looked at Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan.
"In this world, the wise ruler Fang Chen has unified the land, and the people live in peace and prosperity. In order for Emperor Fang Chen to continue to wholeheartedly care for the common people, I will arrange for you two to enter the palace. With your beauty, Emperor Fang Chen will naturally not have any other thoughts once he has you, and will devote himself to governing the country."
"Master, you want us to marry that great demon Fang Chen...?"
The two Qiao sisters exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing their reluctance.
Before the current emperor unified the world, he imprisoned them in Jingzhou for a period of time.
Those dark and hopeless days were something they could never bear to recall.
The thought of marrying that great devil sent chills down their spines.
"Nonsense!"
Gai Wushuang said solemnly, "It is an arranged marriage, and I have already consulted your father, Lord Qiao, about this matter. It cannot be changed."
Gai Wushuang turned to Gai Yiming and said, “Ming’er, I will take you as my disciple. I have passed on all the sword techniques I have learned in my life to you. The rest is up to you to comprehend.”
"Go then!"
"Master!"
Gai Yiming's eyes were red as he knelt before Gai Wushuang and respectfully kowtowed to his Ninth Brother. He knew that his master would not change his mind and that his master was entrusting the sword to him as a way of giving instructions for his final days.
From now on, it's estimated that we'll never see each other again.
"Walk!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Gai Wushuang sent Gai Yiming flying as if he were riding on clouds, landing ten meters away.
"Wan'er, Wei'er, from what you're saying, you've met Emperor Fang Chen before?" After dismissing his eldest disciple Gai Yiming, Gai Wushuang looked at his two female disciples.
"Um."
The two Qiaos nodded.
Tell me what happened.
