Shui Xingbai also noticed the man walking in. He was excited and knelt on the ground. "A distinguished one! Thank you for all you have done for the people of Lin Country."
Ming Li's mouth twitched. He said, "Get up first, and sit."
Shui Xingbai nodded quickly upon hearing this, stood up, and sat on a chair nearby. He asked the question in his heart, "Distinguished one, what is that golden dragon about?"
Ming Li: "That is the ... cough, cough, cough! That is the national destiny, which will protect Lin Country for fifty years. After fifty years, it will depend on the ability of the ruler of the country."
Shui Xingbai was somewhat disappointed when he heard this, as he thought the golden dragon appeared because of Qin Yu.
After thinking for a moment, Ming Li said, "This king might leave soon. How Lin Country fares next will depend on Qin Yu. I hope the Grand Tutor will take care of Qin Yu, just don't let him die, after all, he is the ruler of the country now."
As he spoke, Ming Li produced a black stone about the size of his palm from somewhere and handed it to Shui Xingbai, saying in a faint tone, "I bestow upon you an opportunity for your merit in protecting Lin Country."
Upon hearing this, Shui Xingbai was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he was overjoyed. He bent his knees and was about to kneel.
Ming Li's mouth twitched as he watched and said, "No need to kneel, you are an old man."
Shui Xingbai coughed awkwardly twice, his face flushed. He raised his hand and took the black stone.
The stone emitted a faint glow in his hand. The next second, the black stone in his hand suddenly emitted a brilliant light, and finally, all the light entered his body.
Ming Li looked at this scene with satisfaction, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Alright, if you have nothing else, you may return."
Shui Xingbai came back to his senses, felt the changes in his body, and quickly nodded. "Distinguished one, I shall take my leave."
Ming Li nodded, then thought of something and said, "You don't need to come here anymore. Cultivate the cultivation method this king has given you well, and don't forget what this king said."
Shui Xingbai bowed deeply in Ming Li's direction and said, "I will not fail the distinguished one's trust."
Ming Li: "Go."
Shui Xingbai stood up, looked deeply at Ming Li, and turned to leave.
The system in the space saw this scene and curiously asked, "Host, are we leaving this plane?"
Ming Li: "The mission is almost complete. Are you staying here for the New Year if I don't leave?"
System: "......It's not impossible...... We could also eat the New Year's Eve dinner before leaving......" Thinking of the New Year's Eve dinner, the system couldn't help but swallow its saliva.
Ming Li's mouth twitched. He almost slapped the system away.
Ming Li lazed around in the Yu King's residence for a few days. Qin Yu finally finished handling matters in the palace and returned to the Yu King's residence.
Seeing Qin Yu rushing towards him, Ming Li's mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "You are already the emperor, be more steady."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu rubbed his nose and looked at Ming Li with an extremely strange expression. He asked, "Why did you give me the throne?"
Ming Li: "I am not interested in that position."
Qin Yu frowned and instinctively said, "Impossible. How can anyone not be interested in that position?"
Ming Li was silent for a moment, then looked directly at Qin Yu and asked, "Do you have a woman you admire?"
The system in the space: "......What is the host up to again?!"
