Chapter 604: Ye Dynasty

“Ah Jiu, who is Consort Dowager Jing?” Xue Fanxin asked curiously. This was the first time she had seen Ye Jiushang care so much about someone from the royalty.
In the past, be it in the Nanling Empire or the Heavenly Saints Empire, Ah Jiu was indifferent to everything in the palace. Even with the title of Imperial Uncle and Lord, he did not care about the lives of those from the royal family.
Hence, she was curious. Who could make Ah Jiu care for her?
“Consort Dowager Jing is my adoptive mother. My biological mother passed away not long after I was born. To have someone for me to rely on, the late emperor conferred upon my biological mother’s personal maid the consort title and let me live under her name.” Ye JiushanBy briefly explained his relationship with Consort Dowager Jing. Then, he said to the man, “Heiyu, take them to Imperial City.”
“Yes.” The man obeyed the order without raising any questions.
Ye Jiushang disappeared with Xue Fanxin.
“Where did they go?” Xue Batian still had no idea what was going on. He only knew that his precious granddaughter and that unfathomable grandson-in-law had left.
“Grandpa Xue, Master went to Imperial City. We’ll also go there, but we’ll be a bit late.” Little Lei was eating self-cooked roasted meat. It didn’t taste good though. He threw it away after taking a bite. He was no longer in the mood to eat. He looked at Heiyu with a smile and greeted him, “Little brother Heiyu, long time no see. Did you miss me?”
Hearing the words ‘little brother,’ Heiyu’s expression turned gloomy. He could not be bothered with him and got straight to business. “Everyone, please follow me. I’ll take you to Imperial City. It’s a five-day long journey. Let’s go to the nearby town to prepare the vehicles.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Brother.” Gu Jinyuan bowed simply to thank Heiyu. His intuition told him that the person was very strong, so strong that he could not see through him.
Who was Ye Jiushang? Why did he have so many experts by his side? If even his subordinates were so powerful, wouldn’t the master be even stronger?
“You’re welcome. I am just following orders,” Heiyu replied casually and led the way.
Little Lei said coldly, “Tch, these guys all like to pretend to be cold like Master. Ignore him.”
Gu Jinyuan just gave a smile. He really had too many questions in his heart. He originally wanted to ask Heiyu, but the other party did not seem to like to talk, so he could only ask Little Lei, “Little Lei, which Imperial City are we going to? How much do you know about the distribution of forces in the Mystic Realm?”
“There is only one Imperial City in the Mystic Realm, the Imperial City of the Ye Dynasty. There is only one country in the entire Mystic Realm, and that is the Ye Dynasty. The Ye Dynasty controls the entire Mystic Realm, or even the entire Tongxuan Continent. Any faction has to submit to the imperial authority, but this is already in the past.”
If it was the Ye Dynasty a thousand years ago, it would indeed be the overlord of the Tongxuan Continent. Any faction would have to submit to the royal family.
However, the current Ye Dynasty was on the decline. Its glory was no longer there. Especially in the past hundred years, the rise of various factions vaguely threatened the supreme authority.
Nonetheless, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Ye Dynasty was still powerful. If those rising forces fell out with them, they would not gain anything.
