Chapter 1559: 1559
As a newly-promoted empire, the Xuanyuan Empire did not stand out among the many empires . However, it was one of the few empires that were extremely successful at attracting talents all over the world, allowing it to develop at an incredible pace .
In just half a year, it had already become one of the more outstanding Tier-2 Empires, well beyond the league of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance .
At this very moment, Empress Mo Yu was seated on her royal throne, assessing the crowd beneath her regally .
"Don't you all have a lot of opinions usually? Why aren't any of you speaking today?"
One of the officials stepped forward and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, we can't afford to interfere recklessly in this matter! If we help Zhang shi, that would be equivalent to opposing the Master Teacher Pavilion! That could very well revert our newly-promoted empire back into a mere kingdom!"
"I disagree with Minister Chen's viewpoint . Were it not for Zhang shi, our Xuanyuan Kingdom never would have been successfully promoted into an empire . If we remain silent while our benefactor is being insulted by others, how will our people view us?" said another official as he stepped forward .
"I am of the same opinion as Censor Li's opinion . If it had been another master teacher, we might still have been able to turn a blind eye to the matter, but it's Zhang shi that we are talking about over here! Back then, he went to great lengths in order to develop our Xuanyuan Kingdom into an empire, so we can't simply leave him in the lurch now that he's in need of help! That would chill the hearts of our people!"
"Given our strength, what can we possibly do for Zhang shi? Do you think that our Xuanyuan Empire has the power to oppose a decision made by the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters? We'll only be destroyed!"
"Even if we can't do anything much, I don't want others to view our Xuanyuan Empire as an ungrateful country that forgets its benefactors…"
"Even if you wish to repay the debt, you can't just drag our entire Xuanyuan Empire into the flames like that!
…
"Enough!"
Looking at the chaos below, Empress Mo Yu abruptly rose to her feet and bellowed, "Zhang shi must be saved; this is my decision . Censor Li, I want you to start a petition using my name and rally everyone in the empire who is indebted to Zhang shi! So what if the other party is the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters? If they have made a mistake, we ought to speak up against them!"
"Yes…" Hearing that the empress had already made her decision, the arguing officials lowered their heads subserviently, not daring to argue anymore .
"Your Majesty!"
Just as Censor Li was about to begin drafting a petition, a fully-armored general rushed into the palace and anxiously reported, "I have just received news that Zhang shi… Zhang shi has managed to resolve the crisis and is fine!"
"You said that Zhang shi is fine?"
Mo Yu hurriedly took the letter that the other party was passing over and opened it . Slowly, her eyes widened in disbelief .
"Zhang shi is actually… the head of one of the Premier Sage Clans, the Zhang Clan?
"And Zhao Ya is the court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, wielding strength that even Pavilion Master Ren had trouble dealing with? That lass, Wang Ying, has become the leader of the Spirit Awakener Guild? Zheng Yang is the new Progeny of Combat of the Combat Master Hall, and that fatty, Yuan Tao, had actually become the head of the Yuan Clan… Even Lu Chong has grown into a master soul oracle, capable of standing his ground against 9-star master teachers!"
Mo Yu could not help but wonder in her heart, If I had relinquished my royalty and followed him back then… would I have already become a top-notch expert of the continent, too?
Back then, Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, and the others had been far weaker than her, not even coming close to being a match for her . Yet, in the short span of a single year, they had become figures whom she could only look up to .
She had known all along that it was only a matter of time before someone of Zhang shi's caliber rose to the top, but who could have thought that even his students would become experts standing at the zenith of the continent as well?
It's a pity, but it seems like I have already missed my opportunity to do so… Mo Yu lowered her head with a hint of sorrow in the depths of her eyes .
She had viewed being the empress of the Xuanyuan Empire as a great honor, but it was becoming apparent that even this honor might not come close to being a humble student behind Zhang Xuan .
Mo Yu shook her head and muttered, "It looks the Master Teacher Continent will be Zhang shi's in the future . "
…
White clouds drifted amid the mountain range .
By a mountain stream, a young lady was seated atop a small boulder with a worried look in her eyes .
Yu Fei-er .
Shortly after leaving Qingyuan City, Yu Fei-er stumbled by 9-star Master Teacher Ji Ruochen and became her student .
