Chapter 2692: Chapter 2692: Does Lan Zhiyi Want to Usurp the Throne?

Huayan Peak is different from Wulong Mountain. Once your cultivation level reaches a certain point, you can’t leave. Naturally, people are mindful of their cultivation level so they can get out. Who would want to stay at Huayan Peak their whole life?

"However, from what I know, it seems someone’s cultivation level suddenly exceeded the limits at Huayan Peak. They’ve been seeking help from Gong Cheng, hoping you, the inter-plane traveler, can bring them back."

"Hmm?"

Qian Jiyun raised an eyebrow.

He really hadn’t heard of such a thing. Who’s the fool?

"I’ll go and take a look."

Huayan Peak does have people with very high cultivation levels, but those individuals have willingly chosen to stay at Huayan Peak and don’t plan on leaving.

There’s truly no precedent for someone asking for this kind of assistance. Among previous inter-plane travelers, it should be rare because there’s no record of it.

"Which fool can’t gauge their own cultivation level?" An Jiuyue happened to overhear their conversation and asked as she walked in from outside.

Those who dare stay at Huayan Peak are all careful about their cultivation level, aren’t they?

Moreover, can’t you suppress your cultivation level if you don’t want to leave Huayan Peak immediately? Many people suppress their cultivation level to stay at Huayan Peak for several months to years.

Is there really someone whose cultivation level skyrocketed and prevented them from leaving?

"We’ll know once we check it out later."

Qian Jiyun looked at her and reached out to pull her to sit beside him.

"Brother, have the guards of Daqing Kingdom changed as well?" An Jiuyue asked the Emperor after sitting down.

"Fu Ming’s people haven’t changed, but on your side, Lan Zhiyi was made lord, and many people have changed. It’s a major reshuffle, isn’t it?"

The Emperor said.

Qian Jiyun & An Jiuyue: "!"

Can you put it a bit more tactfully?

"Brother, don’t make it sound like Lan Zhiyi is trying to usurp the throne," Qian Jiyun said, twitching his lips.

"Mhm mhm."

An Jiuyue nodded beside him.

That’s her brother; although not biological, she watched him grow up!

"Cough cough."

The Emperor cleared his throat twice.

"Sorry, I might have been influenced."

Blame the Retired Emperor who always wants to reclaim the throne. I’ve inadvertently adopted his tone. What can I do? Just blame the Retired Emperor.

"I’m saying, aside from those few who exceeded the cultivation limits at Huayan Peak, there shouldn’t be anything else." Maybe he isn’t aware of them.

After all, he is merely the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom now, not someone from Huayan Peak.

"However, you’ll have to go back to find out the specifics. When are you heading back?"

"In a few days, we’ll stay here for a bit and investigate the Retired Emperor’s connections in the capital." Qian Jiyun thought for a moment and said.

Emperor: "..."

I feel pretty incompetent, don’t I? Clearly, it’s stuff I’m supposed to do, but my second brother and sister-in-law have already done it all for me.

"You two have investigated everything I needed to. I don’t have to do anything."

He spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"You’ve handled the issues in the Western Desert quite well, haven’t you?" An Jiuyue said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor rolled his eyes speechlessly. Mentioning the Western Desert issues gives him a headache. He’s been dealing with it for over two years, and it’s still not fully resolved—it’s simply exhausting.

"Speaking of the Western Desert, the Left Chancellor and Right Chancellor argue all the time, it gives me a massive headache."

"Weren’t you intending to elevate Gong Jian?" Qian Jiyun said.

"Tsk."

The Emperor lightly clicked his tongue.
