Chapter 205 - Would I Help Them?

With the emperor’s protection, all the participants who had somehow provoke a lot of enemies felt relieved in their hearts. They also felt grateful to the emperor who had graced them with his protection. It might have been just a few words from Emperor Elyk, but it was equivalent to giving them a layer of defense which was already a significant help to these budding talents.

It was already night time and Jiu Shen was sitting on a chair on top of the roof of their lodging house. He was gazing at the moon with an unreadable expression on his face. He was also carrying a small girl in his arms who had a hair full of short white hair.

Standing behind Jiu Shen was a woman with long purple hair. She was looking at the man with respect and admiration.

"That was truly a good move from Elyk. He earned the gratitude of all the young elites by merely saying a few words and he didn’t even have anything to worry about the Liu Family since their strength is divided right now. This move of him also increased his prestige and authority. Now, everyone should be praising him for being such a good emperor." Jiu Shen suddenly said. His voice was calm and indifferent, but there was a tinge of emotion in his tone. It was unknown if it was admiration or something else.

"That human is not bad, but he is growing old. And from what I’ve seen, all his three eldest sons are just a bunch of good for nothing people! The crown prince is a lecherous bastard, the second prince might be dead and a demon is using his identity to infiltrate the Profound Dragon Continent. As for the third prince, although he is talented in the art of war, he is a very arrogant and conceited person. All three of them are not fit to carry his mantle and the Silver Wing Empire would never have a good day if one of them manage to sit in on the throne. I don’t know what that Elyk human is trying to do that he actually allowed those three idiots to fight for the position. Meow." Ice sneered in contempt as she mentioned the three eldest princes. She then puffed her cheeks after she talked. It was obvious that she didn’t like the three of them.

Long Meili remained silent and she just smiled after hearing the words of the little girl.

Jiu Shen rubbed the girl’s head gently and remained silent for a moment before he said calmly. "Elyk did it intentionally. He allowed those three to fight for the throne, but none of them would become his final successor."

Ice was confused and she blinked her adorably big eyes as she stared at Jiu Shen’s face. "Stinky human, what do you mean? Meow." She asked curiously.

Long Meili was not as curious as her, but she still took a step forward to take a clearer look at Jiu Shen’s face. She wanted to hear his answer.

Jiu Shen pinched Ice’s cheeks which made the latter pout in dissatisfaction, but a wave of warmth enveloped her heart. It was not a romantic kind of feeling, but something similar to that of familial warmth. It has been long since she had last felt this, so it made her a bit teary-eyed. Ice hurriedly looked down to avoid the gazes of Jiu Shen and Long Meili. She did not want anyone to see her cry.

"Elyk merely allowed those three to fight among themselves in order to give time for his successor to grow. As for who his successor is, it is between the fourth prince and the fifth princess. Among his five children, only the two of them have the right temperament to become the next emperor." Jiu Shen said as he stroked Ice’s short white hair.

The two girls pondered upon hearing his words.

"So that’s how it is! I didn’t think that an old man like him is actually half as smart as me! Meow!" Ice’s tone sounded smug, but Jiu Shen and Long Meili merely smiled when they heard that.

The three became silent after that short interaction.

Jiu Shen continued to gaze at the moon as he reminisced about his experiences in his past life.

As Jiu Shen was recalling his distant memories, he saw a small group of youths walking outside of their lodging house. Each of the youths had great temperaments, and they were strong for their age.

Jiu Shen knew who these guys were. These young elites were among those who had won in the one versus one battle.

"His Majesty is truly magnanimous and kind. It is our Silver Wing Empire’s luck to have such a capable and just leader."

"I’m just a bit worried. Although His Majesty is a strong expert, our Silver Wing Empire has quite a number of enemies from all sides. I even heard from some passing merchants that the Blue Fang Empire is already planning to attack our empire."

"Blue Fang Empire? Although they are not weak, our Silver Wing Empire is many times stronger than them, so you don’t have to worry about their attack. Besides, can they even fight against our empire’s Silver Wing Army?"

"Hahaha! You are right! Our Silver Wing Army only accepts 3rd-Crusaders, and there are about ten thousand of them on standby. Any normal army would be ripped to shreds by their fierce attack."

Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart when he heard their conversation.

"Silver Wing Army? Could the empire’s Silver Wing Army handle the Undying Corpse Sect’s undead army? And they even have those elite corpse puppet in their arsenal..." Jiu Shen muttered under his breath.

According to the intel that Ren Shuang gathered. He discovered that the Undying Corpse Sect was secretly nurturing thousands of undead in their hideout. These undeads were not just random undeads either. Each of them was the corpses of deceased experts, so their strength was not weak at all!

From what Ren Shuang had discovered thus far, the overall strength that the Undying Corpse Sect and Xue Family possess is enough to trample the Silver Wing Empire! The Silveria Imperial Family would not be able to fight them equally unless if they get the support of the Liu Family, Beiming Family, and the other noble families. And even if they did offer their assistance, they would still be at a disadvantage.

’If that time comes, would I help them?’ Jiu Shen closed his eyes as he pondered deeply in his heart.
