Just then, the system began to provide him with information about this new world.
This was an era brimming with spiritual energy.
Although unlike the era in which Gu Tang lived, where everyone practiced cultivation.
But anyone with even a little talent will work hard to cultivate their skills.
Here, talent is referred to as spiritual root.
The stronger your spiritual root, the faster you can cultivate and the higher the realm you can reach.
The entire continent was divided and ruled by three major powers and countless smaller countries.
The royal family of each country often monopolizes the best cultivation resources.
Often, genius cultivators are born into royalty or noble families.
The person just now addressed Gu Tang as His Highness the Ninth Prince because he is the ninth prince of the Chu Kingdom, one of the three great kingdoms.
Almost everyone in the royal family has considerable talent for cultivation, but!
Gu Tang knew there would be a "but".
Sure enough, the system continued its introduction.
However, Gu Tang, the ninth prince of the Chu Kingdom, had extremely low talent for cultivation.
He was not even as good as an ordinary civilian, let alone his brothers and sisters.
In a world where cultivation is paramount, Gu Tang is naturally not favored.
He was a forgotten prince, living in the worst palace and eating the most ordinary food.
They barely had a place to stay in the palace.
As for the throne, he didn't even need to think about it; it would never be his turn in this lifetime.
"Hmm..." Gu Tang responded lazily, indicating that he understood.
What struck him as odd was that this time the system devoted a significant amount of time to introducing the background and then his own situation, which was quite different from before.
Before, he would talk to him about what would happen to his child and then ask him to help him.
"Your Highness." Seeing that Gu Tang had woken up, but lay motionless on the bed for a long time.
The young eunuch cautiously reminded him, "The Grand Preceptor is hosting a banquet at his residence tonight. Apart from him, no one else in the capital will invite you to the banquet. Please cherish this opportunity."
"Hmm." Gu Tang said to the young eunuch, "I understand. You may leave now."
"Yes." The young eunuch glanced at Gu Tang hesitantly before turning and leaving.
Gu Tang also knew about the Imperial Preceptor mentioned by the young eunuch.
The system's introduction to him just now devoted a lot of space to this imperial advisor.
Simply put, he was the most talented cultivator in the Chu Kingdom.
Even on the entire continent, it would be unparalleled and virtually invincible.
Moreover, he is very young.
Not only is he young, but he is also very handsome.
Such a talented, handsome, and powerful national advisor was sought after by the nobles of Chu, including Gu Tang's brothers and sisters.
They all vied to please him.
It is truly remarkable that someone like him would think of the out-of-favor Gu Tang when hosting a banquet in his residence.
However, that's not what Gu Tang is concerned about right now.
He was more concerned with another issue—
"Where are my children?" he asked.
[Not yet born.]
"Not yet?" Gu Tang was stunned!
The system paused for a moment, then quickly said, "The protagonist of this world, as you've probably guessed, is your child with that Imperial Advisor. However, something went wrong; they haven't been born yet. Therefore, you need to bring them into this world first before you can continue the mission. Oh, and I forgot to mention, you've now recovered twenty percent of your power. Alright, the rest is in your hands! Goodbye!"
Hey, wait a minute!
However, no matter how Gu Tang tried to call out to the system, it seemed to have made up its mind and refused to speak again.
Gu Tang was so angry he laughed.
He sat quietly on the bed for a while, going through all the information he had just received.
Then he raised his hand and quietly sensed the changes in the spiritual energy within his body.
At least one thing the system said was correct.
His cultivation level recovered to one-fifth of its former level.
Gu Tang has cultivated for nearly ten thousand years, and even one-fifth of his abilities are not to be underestimated.
Even if everyone in this world reaches the pinnacle, they probably still can't compare to him in the past.
One-fifth is enough for him.
He took a deep breath and reopened his eyes.
Since things have already turned out this way, we can only take it one step at a time.
"Guanyan." Gu Tang changed into his outdoor clothes and called his eunuch in, "Prepare yourselves, we're going to the Imperial Preceptor's residence for a banquet."
"Yes, Your Highness," Guan Yan replied quickly.
But he quickly looked up again, glancing cautiously at Gu Tang, his face full of unspoken words.
"Just say what you have to say," Gu Tang said.
“Yes, then I will speak.” Guan Yan said softly, “Although the Grand Preceptor never treats us like other adults or Your Highness, it’s because he is a good person. He treats everyone the same way. Your Highness, you…you…”
Guan Yan glanced at Gu Tang again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please don't write love letters to the Grand Preceptor anymore. I heard from the servants in the Grand Preceptor's residence that he never reads them and always burns them all."
love letter?
Gu Tang blinked.
A warm-hearted imperial advisor?
He learned this word from the optical network during the interstellar era.
The information the system just provided didn't mention any of this.
"Yes." Guan Yan lowered his head and said in one breath, "I know you admire the Imperial Preceptor, but last time, the Third Prince was so enraged that he punished you, beating you so badly that you couldn't get out of bed for a month. Your Highness, the Imperial Preceptor is like the bright moon in the sky; he is truly not someone we can covet. I beg you..."
As Guan Yan spoke, he suddenly knelt down with a thud: "Just forget about him."
Gu Tang looked at the loyal eunuch with a slight toothache.
He never imagined that there would be so many fascinating moments between him and this so-called national advisor.
But he couldn't forget him.
Perhaps the offensive needs to be even more intense.
Gu Tang reached out and helped Guan Yan up: "Don't worry, I'll be fine now."
Chapter 46 The Imperial Preceptor's Unparalleled Brilliance (2)
Guan Yan's eyes were red.
He followed Gu Tang outside, without mentioning what had just happened again.
Gu Tang could still feel the care from this loyal eunuch.
He was now full of spiritual energy, and after a brief examination of Guan Yan, he discovered that the other party's spiritual root level was very low, and that he was not a physique suitable for cultivation.
"Guanyan." Gu Tang let Guanyan get into the carriage with him.
He glanced at the young eunuch's reddened eyes and nose, and casually asked, "How long have you been by my side?"
"Your Highness." Guan Yan glanced at Gu Tang with suspicion, then suddenly knelt down with a thud. "I dare not say another word! Please, please don't send me away!"
“Uh…” Gu Tang rubbed his forehead.
He hadn't expected this young eunuch to be so easily frightened.
He reached out and helped Guanyan up again: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to kick you out. I just want to ask about me and the Imperial Preceptor."
This time, the system provided him with even less information.
Gu Tang couldn't extract any useful information from the Ninth Prince's original memories.
All he knew was that the Ninth Prince had a very low level of spiritual root since childhood and had never been favored.
The task now falls to the other party.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
"Oh," Guan Yan responded softly.
He glanced at Gu Tang discreetly, his face full of doubt.
Normally, the Ninth Prince dislikes people talking about his relationship with the Imperial Advisor, so why did he bring it up today?
Moreover, he appeared calm, as if... he didn't care much.
Noticing Guan Yan's gaze, Gu Tang smiled frankly: "Perhaps because of my previous injury, I've forgotten many things."
"Oh..." Guan Yan believed it immediately.
He always said that the Ninth Prince's face would light up with joy whenever the Imperial Preceptor was mentioned.
It seems that as long as the other party is willing to give him a smile, he can stick to it forever.
Actually, the matter between the Ninth Prince and the Imperial Preceptor isn't that complicated.
Guan Yan composed himself and said in a low voice, "All I know is that you were allowed to participate in the royal hunt three years ago, but I was unable to go, so I don't know what exactly happened back then."
Guan Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "When you returned from the hunt, you were clearly injured, but you seemed very happy. From then on, you wrote a love letter to the Grand Preceptor every day and had it delivered to you."
