Chapter 1168: Chapter 565: Aren’t You Curious? Not Curious! (2)
Qin Tiandao opened his mouth to inquire.
Exactly how strong are those people from other continents? The strength of Double Five at the Peak of Eighth Layer seems already heaven-defying to him.
He couldn’t even dare to imagine it before Qin Ying spoke.
After all, even the major leaders of Great Yu are only at this level of strength.
"Your Majesty is not quite sure either."
Emperor Yu spoke.
After all, the continents are isolated from each other, and all he knows is that the Eastern Continent is the weakest.
This was something he asked Emperor Venerable about a long time ago.
Upon hearing this, the four people’s hearts sank; even their father didn’t know much, and the unknown weighed on their hearts like a boulder.
"Your Majesty, when will the passage to connect with the other continents be opened?"
Duke Qin asked.
"How much longer does the Burial Ground need?"
"It looks like ten days should be enough, with little variation."
Every hour, the situation from over at the Burial Ground would be reported to him.
"Then let’s do it five days later!"
Emperor Yu thought for a moment before answering.
"Also, the Treasury will open, and you and those other people you’ve selected can each choose two Spiritual Treasures."
"Understood! I will arrange it right away."
The Treasury has a variety of items, including treasures from both Great Yu and the previous dynasty.
This is the foundation of Great Yu.
In normal times, Emperor Yu would never do such a thing.
But this time, it’s not just for the dignity of Great Yu but also due to... the Emperor Venerable’s decree!
"Dismissed!"
"Yes, Father!"
The four of them saluted in unison and successively left Qixuan Hall, but their faces were not looking good.
Only three people remained in the grand hall at this time.
"There’s one more thing I haven’t mentioned."
Instantly, Emperor Yu’s expression turned serious.
Upon seeing this, Duke Qin and Qin Ying both looked over.
"This time, by Emperor Venerable’s order, the last among the continents must hand over ninety percent of their resources to the other continents each year."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, both Duke Qin and Qin Ying exclaimed in shock.
Their faces changed dramatically.
Duke Qin was now unsettled, how could this be?
Now he understood why Emperor Yu regarded this matter so seriously—it’s not just about Great Yu’s reputation, but most importantly, it’s about ninety percent of the resources.
"And the other continents will send people into the Eastern Continent!"
Emperor Yu threw out another bombshell.
This means the Eastern Continent would become a subordinate of the other continents; if it ends up being last, then the Eastern Continent will no longer be the Eastern Continent, and Great Yu will no longer be Great Yu.
"Therefore, this time the other continents will definitely send their strongest people, so all of this..."
Emperor Yu’s gaze fixed on Qin Ying, "Ying’Er, this responsibility falls on you!"
However, Qin Ying did not speak.
At this moment, she even felt suffocated, her breathing becoming difficult.
But neither Emperor Yu nor Duke Qin spoke, waiting for her answer.
"Hoo—"
Taking a deep breath, "Father, don’t worry. Even if I risk my life, I won’t let this happen!"
As the last word fell.
Qin Ying suddenly stood up, imperial might revealed, demonstrating her determination.
As a member of the Great Yu Imperial Family, this is her responsibility.
"Father knows you’re under immense pressure, but among all the people entering this time, you are the strongest, so Father can only entrust everything to you."
Saying that, Emperor Yu stepped down and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Once the Burial Ground emerges, Father will arrange your marriage and personally host your wedding!"
"If you have any other requests, Father will grant them!"
"This is what I should do!"
Qin Ying did not make any requests, nor did she want to.
What she wants, she will get herself.
Not to use it as a condition, which would feel like threatening her father.
"Hmm!"
Emperor Yu nodded slightly, feeling gratified inside, relieving himself of possible disappointment had she made a request.
Moreover, he wouldn’t have agreed!
Then he turned to Duke Qin, "Everything else will be up to you, Duke Qin, next, I will prepare to open the passage."
"When it comes time to go to the Burial Ground, you and Zhan Tian will go."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Duke Qin responded solemnly.
...
Qin Ying left Qixuan Hall, not going elsewhere but heading straight to Lin Fei.
Lin Yun Palace!
"Greetings, Princess!"
The maid bowed her head and saluted.
"Where is Mother?"
"In response to Your Highness, she is with the Fourth Prince in the main hall."
Hearing this, Qin Ying frowned slightly, it seemed her brother had anticipated her return here, so he waited for her in advance.
"Understood."
Then she walked towards the direction of the main hall.
Upon arriving there, Qin Hong and Lin Fei were chatting happily.
"Ying’Er, come here!"
"These pastries were brought especially by your brother, have a taste!"
Lin Fei smiled, beckoning Qin Ying over; only in front of them would she act this way.
Qin Ying smiled, these two people are the most important in her world, Mother and Chen Xuan.
She sat down beside her.
"Try some."
Lin Fei fed her personally, her eyes filled with love; this was her greatest pride in life, and of course, Qin Hong was also quite outstanding.
"How is it?"
"Delicious!"
Qin Ying smiled, making Lin Fei’s face beam even more, as she turned to Qin Hong, "Bring some to your sister later."
"Yes, Mother!"
Lin Fei nodded in satisfaction, then stood up, "Mother feels a bit tired, and will go rest now, you siblings can chat for a while."
Clearly understanding her son’s intentions.
But some things are better left for them to handle themselves.
She is a woman, when it comes to matters of Great Yu, she must not intervene.
