Chapter 117

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu seeks an audience, saying that Princess Chuchu has been crying incessantly," the guard outside reported.

Xiao Yunzhou immediately stood up.

His daughter must have learned something, a decree from the Immortal Realm!

"Princess Chuchu has never cried so much since her birth..." Before Concubine Liu was allowed in, she was talking to the Imperial Guards at the door.

"Let her in quickly," Xiao Yunzhou said urgently.

It\'s likely that he, the mortal emperor, is on the verge of annihilation, which is why the reincarnated fairy princess is crying inconsolably.

Before he could finish, he heard his daughter\'s wailing from outside.

A father-daughter bond, indeed.

In an instant, Xiao Yunzhou felt as if he heard his daughter\'s cries tearing at his heart, each cry causing him pain.

And he also instantly read his daughter\'s plea for help woven into her wails.

[Woo woo, there\'s no other way. I can only cry loudly so Mother can bring me to the study!]

[Woo, something serious has happened, the assassin\'s progress of being converted could be reset to zero in an instant!]

[What are you doing, Father Emperor? No, I have to stop it! I have to cry to stop it!]

Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded.

He looked incredulously at the martial arts master Little Jiu, standing before the imperial desk.

Progress of being converted reset to zero?

Xiao Yunzhou was bewildered.

What just happened?

He merely saw Little Jiu\'s sincere answer and asked in surprise, which angered him?

"You wooden thing, get out! If you upset Princess Chuchu again, not even a hundred deaths could atone for your crime."

Xiao Yunzhou looked over and saw Wei Zheng scolding this martial arts master Little Jiu once more.

In an instant, Xiao Yunzhou nearly lost his soul.

"With your dull demeanor, not knowing how to be flexible, you still want to serve tea in the prince\'s study room? I\'ve never seen you make progress either!" Wei Zheng scolded fiercely.

[Ah, the progress of being converted has dropped to 0 again!]

Princess Chuchu exclaimed in her heart, forgetting her wails.

Xiao Yunzhou\'s face stiffened, his forehead beaded with sweat, and he slammed the table, "Wei Zheng!"

"Insolence! Before I or Concubine Liu could speak, you\'re scolding someone here."

Wei Zheng opened his mouth.

Little Jiu looked over, but his gaze was obscure and unclear.

Chuchu whimpered, [The progress of being converted is back to 90%, no, it dropped to 0 again.]

[Ah, it\'s back to 90%, woo it dropped to 0 again.]

[It\'s fluctuating back and forth.]

"..."

Xiao Yunzhou\'s face alternated between pale and flushed.

No wonder Princess Chuchu cried so heartbreakingly; it was the reincarnated fairy in his daughter\'s tender little throat, warning him, the Emperor!

He, a mortal emperor, what virtue does he possess for his daughter\'s reincarnated fairy form to suffer?

"Wei Zheng, you have disappointed me greatly," Xiao Yunzhou said abruptly, finding his train of thought.

Even the Immortal Emperors have instituted a rotation system, allowing immortals to rotate through different tasks. Why can\'t Jing Country do the same?

As the mortal sovereign, he should learn from this.

He should recognize the diverse talents and needs of his officials and palace servants.

"The palace servant Q&A that I initiated with Concubine Liu aims to give everyone an opportunity."

Xiao Yunzhou\'s thoughts became clear in his urgency.

With a stern face, he educated Wei Zheng.

"Wei Zheng, you are one of my people. You should understand my intentions. As long as someone dares to think and is willing to put in effort, I am willing to give them a chance to try."

"Go to a new position and try it out for a few days. If it doesn\'t work out, return to your original post. If it does, you can continue serving."

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath, glancing at the frail Little Jiu.

"Everyone is born with many possibilities."

"When I was born, I was not the sovereign either."

"No one is born to serve tea and water. As long as you have talent and the will to progress, I will give you the opportunity."

As Xiao Yunzhou spoke, Wei Zheng was dumbfounded, while Little Jiu raised his head to look at Xiao Yunzhou himself for the first time.

[Woo, the progress of being converted has stabilized at 90% again.]

Princess Chuchu let out a sigh of relief, with tear streaks still on her cheeks.

[That was terrifying. Otherwise, if I harm Father Emperor\'s life, he would likely still face the inevitable fate of death within three years. And the Empress Dowager would also be sacrificed, along with innocent guards...]

Xiao Yunzhou\'s brow relaxed, but soon tensed again due to his daughter\'s inner voice.

It seems that for him, the Emperor, to fight against the predetermined tragic fate, there is still a long way to go.

Not a moment can be relaxed.

"Little Jiu, let me ask you again, do you really want to serve tea in the prince\'s study room?" Xiao Yunzhou looked at this hidden assassin.

He was also worried that the assassin might harm the prince.

"If I suggest you take a different position, you can go anywhere..."

But before he could finish —

[Woo, the progress of being converted has dropped to zero again!] Princess Chuchu wailed.

"!"

"...I promise you! You can go to the study room!"

The sweat-drenched Xiao Yunzhou immediately changed course!

In the next moment, as he held his breath, he heard Chuchu\'s relieved inner voice.

[Oh? Ah, wow, the progress of being converted is 100%!]

[Congratulations, the mission to convert the assassin is complete!]

Xiao Yunzhou\'s eyes widened.

[The system says, \'Congratulations, you have gained the assistance of a martial arts master with a level of 99.\']

Ah?

Xiao Yunzhou was shocked, looking at his daughter Chuchu, who had stopped crying and was being carried in by Concubine Liu to pay respects.

He resisted the urge to turn and look at Little Jiu, the assassin who thought he was well-hidden.

It\'s done?

Just like that?

Isn\'t that too casual?

Xiao Yunzhou let out a sigh of relief, but was also bewildered.

So, what\'s so good about the prince\'s study room?

[It\'s possible that the assassin Jiu Xiao had already been mostly converted by Father Emperor and no longer wanted to kill him.]

Whenever she neared a plot point, Princess Chuchu\'s memory of the novel became clearer.

Once the conversion mission was complete, her knowledge of the assassin became more vivid.

[It turns out the assassin\'s real name is Jiu Xiao. In the novel, Jiu Xiao was an orphan taken in by an elder of the Earth and Moon Sect at a young age. While the Sect raised him and taught him the art of killing, they also told him that the reason they raised him was to assassinate the Emperor of Jing Country.]

[On one side was Father Emperor trying to convert him, and on the other was the gratitude he owed to the elder who raised him and taught him. The assassin Jiu Xiao was caught in between.]

[Unable to reconcile loyalty and filial piety, the only option was to stay away from Father Emperor... to avoid seeing Father Emperor in this life, drawing a line for himself as if he had failed his mission.]

Xiao Chuchu analyzed the novel\'s plot fiercely like a tiger.

She knew the story, and it had to be said, her analysis seemed well-founded.

Xiao Yunzhou firmly believed her, and as he looked up at this emaciated tea-serving eunuch Little Jiu, his gaze wavered.

So that was how it was.

"Alas, tomorrow, no, today you shall attend to the Crown Prince\'s study."

"You need not remain by My side anymore."

The tea-serving eunuch Little Jiu, the assassin Jiu Xiao, suddenly looked up.

His eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief and an unprecedented gleam.

Xiao Yunzhou saw it all clearly, further convincing him of his daughter Xiao Chuchu\'s immortal analysis.

"There are many crown princes in the study hall."

"Little Jiu, you may choose one, or choose none and serve tea to all the crown princes in the study hall."

The assassin Jiu Xiao.

Xiao Yunzhou committed this name, known only to him, to memory.

This assassin with a combat power of 99, raised by the Earth and Moon Sect, could ultimately not follow him, the emperor of Jing Country loathed by the Earth and Moon Sect elders.

However, Jiu Xiao could follow Jing Country.

Since he was to attend the Crown Princes\' study hall, he might as well follow Jing Country\'s next new ruler.

Xiao Yunzhou felt relieved, his gaze turning towards the study hall\'s location southwest of the imperial study.

As the father emperor, I have done my utmost to resolve the current crisis for my son.

As for whether he can completely win over this assassin\'s heart, making him wholeheartedly loyal and forget the Earth and Moon Sect elders,

That remains to be seen, the Fifth.

"Very well, Wei Zheng, until I find a new tea-serving eunuch, you shall take turns at this task."

Wei Zheng: "???"

"Besides flattering, you ought to learn something else."

"..."

That day, Cheng Qian saw the newly-arrived tea-serving eunuch in the study hall, low-key and emaciated, silent as he had been before.

[Wuwu, this matter is finally resolved.]

[The re-education mission is complete, though I thought the emperor father could gain a loyalist from this skilled hand. But there was no such gain at all.]

[This stingy system...]

Xiao Chuchu murmured endlessly in her brother\'s embrace.

Cheng Qian\'s expression changed, and soon, before the other brothers had finished their lessons, he approached this emaciated man and knelt before him.

"The Fifth... Crown Prince..."

"I... I wish to study with you..."

Xiao Chuchu in Cheng Qian\'s embrace suddenly widened her grape-like eyes.

"I... I wish to always follow you..."

[What\'s going on here??]

[My brother re-educated the assassin?!]

[Oh my, the system updated!]

[The assassin Jiu Xiao, I saw his label - \'Assassin Master Recovered by Brother!\']
