Chapter 472 - 344: Seems... Like Her!

Outside the study, Qin Ying’s voice was heard.

"Come in."

Chen Xuan spoke, feeling somewhat puzzled, since usually she never comes to the study.

Qin Ying pushed the door open and entered.

"Greetings, Master’s Wife!"

Qin Ke immediately bowed.

The words "Master’s Wife" made her feel delighted,

"Qin Ke is here too, coincidentally, this matter concerns you as well."

This made Chen Xuan somewhat confused and asked, "What matter?"

"Several prince brothers are fiercely arguing over the new king of Molan Mansion, so the appointment of Minister of the Three Judicial Departments is postponed."

Qin Ying spoke slowly.

Involving the king of a mansion, every prince wants his own person to sit this position.

"So the current situation is that we must wait for the new king to be decided before the appointment of the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments?"

"Hmm, that’s what the prince brothers mean."

Qin Ying nodded.

"How soon will that be?"

He was asking this on behalf of Qin Ke; without knowing, let alone cultivate, his sleep would be restless.

"It will definitely be decided within a month."

Because it has been too long.

"You heard, within a month you don’t have to worry so much, what’s yours won’t run away, what’s not yours, no matter how much you do it’s useless, just wait, spend more time on cultivation, that’s the right path."

Chen Xuan advised Qin Ke.

He was a bit obsessed with power, which was not good.

He had been reminded many times before, but seeing now... it didn’t help much.

"Master’s teachings are right, disciple knows his mistake."

Qin Ke bent slightly, knowing Master’s advice was for his own good, but... the minister position is too tempting.

Sometimes it’s hard to control oneself.

"Go then."

Seeing his expression, Chen Xuan knew his words were in vain, so he couldn’t be bothered to speak further.

Let him be.

After Qin Ke left the study, Qin Ying finally sat down, "It’s normal, everyone wants to sit the Minister position."

"I have no such thoughts."

Chen Xuan shrugged, he was not interested at all.

Handling so many affairs daily, wasting time, also delaying cultivation.

"That’s why you’re not human!"

Qin Ying’s lips turned upwards.

"Oh, you’re insulting me indirectly, want a beating!"

"Hum!"

"You try it, tonight I’ll bite hard, aren’t you afraid?"

Qin Ying said mischievously, revealing her silver teeth.

"Damn!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a shiver throughout his body, thinking of a bite.

Broken!

"Hiss...."

He gritted his teeth, "You’re ruthless!"

...

...

Chen Xuan was satisfied, but the cost was his whole body being covered in red marks from Qin Ying’s pinches.

Of course, this was the result of his deliberate restraint, otherwise, with the strength of his body, she might be the one hurt.

"By the way, who do you think will be the king of Molan Mansion?"

Hugging her, Chen Xuan asked softly.

"Don’t know."

Qin Ying’s face was nestled in his chest, a king of a mansion, many people are watching.

The news from Qin Hong was only about contention among her prince brothers.

But... things probably aren’t that simple.

Ultimately, the decision lies with father.

It depends on who can persuade him.

"Can the new king really influence the position of Minister of the Three Judicial Departments?"

This point was a bit unclear to Chen Xuan.

After all, the Three Judicial Departments manage the security of a mansion, while other matters are under the mansion’s king.

The two don’t interfere with each other.

It’s like the separation of military and politics.

Logically, it shouldn’t be influenced by the king’s opinion!

"The king of a mansion has the right to recommend, but the final decision still depends on Elder Zhan and the Three Dukes, then reported to father for a final decision."

"But father usually listens to their opinions without changing."

After all, it’s just the position of Minister of the Three Judicial Departments, not that important, and having been discussed by Elder Zhan and the Three Dukes, basically no issues will arise.

"So, even if recommended by the king, it’s still useless right?"

This is how Chen Xuan saw it.

"It’s not as simple as you think, the water in the Imperial City is very deep. Over the years, major powers have intermarried, with complicated relationships, and even the Three Dukes aren’t absolutely fair."

"For example, if two candidates are similar, then the choice depends on the opinions of the Three Dukes and Elder Zhan."

After all, Great Yu has existed for tens of thousands of years, sometimes these relationships give Emperor Yu headaches.

Especially for important positions in Great Yu, he would investigate people upwards for dozens of generations to avoid a situation of one family dominance.

"Sigh!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, "Being an Emperor isn’t easy."

"Of course, governing Great Yu is no simple task."

Qin Ying nodded.

Since she remembered, she hardly saw father a few times a year, mostly busy with state affairs.

As for cultivation, father said he had no hope of progressing further.

He could only place hope on them.

However, not only she and the prince brothers were unaware of father’s true prowess, even Elder Zhan and the Three Dukes didn’t know.

Of course, she dared not ask.

."Let’s wait then, I’m going to Meng’Er’s side, you rest well."

"Hmm!"

After Chen Xuan left the room, Qin Ying seemed thoughtful, touched her brow.

Hesitated.

...

Corner of September City.

A white shadow descended from the sky.

It was indeed the avatar nurtured by the Demon Realm Saintess.

"Is this September City?"

After surveying the surroundings, she spoke softly.

Sure enough, it’s completely different from the Demon Realm, but... extending a jade-like finger, slightly swaying it, a faint white light emitted, the surrounding spiritual power was immediately attracted.

"It has some differences from those in the Demon Realm as well."

"Go and find some humans to understand the situation, what exactly happened that day?"
