Chapter 241.2
After becoming a Graded Teacher, in addition to various honors, there were also houses, silver, and face to be gainedthe benefits were truly numerous.
As a result, the domestic educational environment was revitalized, with everyone striving to become a Graded Teacher.
After this news spread throughout the land, it greatly endeared the scholars to the idea.
This move by Great Xia is truly a pioneering moment in history!
Scholars are given higher respect than anywhere else in Great Xia!
Its the teachers, the teachers who are respected! Valuing teachers and education? This what a good country should look like!
I dont want to stay here anymore, I want to go to Great Xia!
I want to become a Graded Teacher and be remembered through the ages!
Thus, it attracted even more scholars to come and join.
Emperors of other countries could only watch with envy, unable to replicate this.
Because the Graded Teacher system and the free education system complement each other, only after implementing a free education system could the Graded Teacher system have such a big effect.
However, their finances simply couldnt support such a vast educational system.
Moreover, the noble families wouldnt allow a new system to emerge and compete with them for power.
Upon hearing this news, the Great Luo Emperor, engaged in war, sneered, What a fuss over nothing! The common people are fickle, and scholars even more so! Once the benefits are gone, they will surely abandon you! Instead of spending effort on nurturing them, wouldnt it be better to spend more time on national construction and expanding the territory? Once the nation is strong, wont they come to us?
After venting his frustrations, he looked at the memorial in his hand and asked, How goes the battle?
A general in front of him clasped his hands and said, Report to Your Majesty. They are resisting fiercely; the situation is not very ideal!
Great Luo Emperor furrowed his brows: Is it their fierce resistance, or have you not given your all?
The general immediately knelt down in panic: Report to Your Majesty, we truly did our best! As I understand, the men of those three Kingdoms fear defeat and conscription, so they are resisting with all their might!
Great Luo Emperor snorted: I dont care about the reasons. You will take the responsibility if you cant conquer the three Kingdoms before the autumn harvest!
Yes Your Majesty! The general retreated in fear.
..
Thus, the battle on Great Luos side intensified.
Lin Beifan took the opportunity to poach people, profiting from the war at Great Luos expense.
However, at this time, a shocking piece of news broke.
A half-step Grandmaster had secretly infiltrated the Great Luo imperial palace and attempted to assassinate the Great Luo Emperor.
It was said that the attempt nearly succeeded.
Unfortunately, a Grandmaster from the Taoist Sect arrived in time and ultimately saved the Great Luo Emperor.
The half-step Grandmaster assassin was injured and then fled.
The Great Luo imperial palace, due to the clash of the two powerful beings, had more than half of its buildings destroyed.
Furious as thunder, Great Luo Emperor issued a warrant for the assassins arrest.
But the assailant had vanished without a trace.
What a pity! Yaoyao sighed.
Lin Beifan laughed: Whats there to pity? With the protection of the Taoist Sect, how could it be so easy to succeed in assassinating the Great Luo Emperor?
Thats true!
Yaoyao propped her chin with one hand: Who do you think that assassin was? With such skill, theyre definitely no ordinary person, but even with our Demon Sects influence, we still cant find out their origin!
If someone dares to assassinate the Great Luo Emperor, they must have made thorough preparations. How could they let you find out so easily? Lin Beifan calmly took a sip of tea and said.
Yaoyaos eyes rolled: Little foolish emperor, why do you think the assassin wanted to kill the Great Luo Emperor?
What else could it be? The Great Luo Emperor has offended many people now, and theres a long list of those who want him dead. Maybe there are a few powerful relatives among those hes killed?
You have a point! Its said that after being injured by the Taoist Sect Grandmaster, she ran towards Great Xia! But she disappeared just after crossing the White Tiger Mountain Range! Where do you think she could have gone? Yaoyao looked over.
Lin Beifan spread his hands: Dont ask me, how would I know?
After chatting with Lin Beifan for a while, Yaoyao went out to practice her martial arts.
Lin Beifans consciousness, however, is connected to the Empire Sandbox, and his gaze focuses on a mysterious cave in the White Tiger Mountain Range.
There was a woman in black with stunning features and a voluptuous figure, appearing to be around her late twenties, quite mature.
She lay unconscious in a pool of blood.
This person was the assassin who had attempted to kill the Great Luo Emperor.
However, she did not have the strength of a half-step Grandmaster but that of Imperial Qi.
During the assassination attempt on the Great Luo Emperor, she must have used some secret method to forcibly enhance her strength.
Still, she was no match for a Grandmaster.
It was already fortunate that she had managed to escape from a Grandmasters clutches.
After she fled to Great Xia, Lin Beifan became aware of her and secretly extended a helping hand to save her.
Now, three days had passed.
The woman slowly regained consciousness, coughing: Cough cough Where am I?
In the blink of an eye, memories of the past flooded back, and she realized she had fled here.
She touched her chest, somewhat surprised.
You see, she had previously been struck by a Grandmaster, her heart meridian completely severed, leaving her with almost no chance of survival.
But now, the injuries inside her body had healed by half.
Who who saved me?
She tried to remember but couldnt recall anything.
At that moment, a faint voice drifted to her: Youre awake!
The womans face changed: Whos there?
She looked around warily but saw no one.
It was I who saved you! the voice replied.
The woman was silent for a moment: What? Thank you!
You dont have to thank me. You did something that pleased me, so I simply lent a hand and saved you! Would you mind sharing Your name, background, and the reason you tried to kill him?
The woman hesitated: Im Im Mo Yuyan, originally from the Great Lan Kingdom, and I have been training abroad for many years! The reason I came to kill was to avenge my younger brothers family. He was an Innate of Great Lan but was killed by someone from Great Luo!
So thats how it is!, said the voice.
And you, senior? Mo Yuyan asked.
She could only hear the voice but couldnt sense the persons presence, feeling that this individual was even more terrifying than the Taoist Sect Grandmaster she fought before.
My identity is of no concern to you!
Oh! Mo Yuyan responded, a touch of disappointment in her voice.
The Great Luo Emperor is protected by the Taoist Sect. Hes not so easy to kill! the voice came again.
No matter how hard it is, I must kill him. This hatred for the murder of my kin cannot coexist under the same sky! Mo Yuyan declared with overwhelming hatred.
Well said! You have courage, and I admire that. Would you be interested in working for me? With me, revenge would not be very difficult! The tone was full of temptation.
Senior, my life was saved by you. Whatever you ask of me, I will not refuse! My life is yours if you can also help me with my revenge! Mo Yuyan stated without hesitation.
In that instant, she had made up her mind. She knew she couldnt avenge the death on her own.
But perhaps with the help of this unfathomable senior, she could.
Smart! No wonder youve cultivated to the realm of Imperial Qi at such a young age! Here is some medicine for healing. Take it for now!
As soon as the voice finished, a bottle appeared in front of Mo Yuyan.
Such a feat was like that of a ghost or god, leaving Mo Yuyan speechless and shocked.
If the other party wanted to kill her it would surely be a simple thing, right?
