Chapter 1600: Chapter 56: Heavenly Cry Saintess
In the courtyard.
Listening to Ji Mingyue’s words, Jiang Ning felt a bit moved in his heart.
He hadn’t expected Ji Mingyue to see things far clearer and more thoroughly than he had imagined, her heart like a bright mirror.
But she knew even better that Ji Mingyue could not possibly not want to see her father for the last time.
This rational analysis only showed her inner turmoil and agony.
She knew the risks of returning to the Royal Capital.
And those risks would be transferred onto herself.
Her rational analysis was merely her desire not to see herself in danger.
Once he returns to the Royal Capital, whether he is willing or not, he will definitely be caught up in the whirlpool.
Because everyone in the Royal Capital knows about his relationship with Ji Mingyue, and Ji Mingyue and Ji Minghao are siblings from the same parents, his relationship with Ji Minghao is also closer than that with other princes.
As long as he returns to the Royal Capital, whether willing or not, he will be caught up in it.
"You want to go back!" He stepped slowly in front of Ji Mingyue, speaking calmly and with finality.
Their eyes met, and Ji Mingyue hesitantly nodded slowly.
"My father and brother are the closest relatives to me."
Then she added, "But I’m clear that if I return, I will definitely become a burden, and will put you in a tough decision, reason tells me that I should not return to the Royal Capital now, wait until everything is settled. I am merely a princess who isn’t noticeable in the Imperial Family, no one will target me then."
"No need to worry so much!" Jiang Ning smiled: "As long as you want to go back, then let’s return to the Royal Capital, I’m also worried about my brother and sister-in-law."
"But your health..." Ji Mingyue raised her head to look at Jiang Ning.
"No need to care!" Jiang Ning shook his head lightly, "Since I’m going, I’m very confident, I’m not one to love recklessness."
Ji Mingyue looked at Jiang Ning’s expression, her eyes gradually reddened.
She couldn’t tell if Jiang Ning truly had a confident and calm demeanor or was just comforting her with his words.
But she understood, Jiang Ning chose to return to the Royal Capital at this moment mainly because of her.
"Alright! Then we will follow your decision!" Ji Mingyue nodded slowly.
"Then we depart tomorrow, I need to call back Jing Wuming and Chen Canghai," Jiang Ning said.
"No rush!" Ji Mingyue said, "From what I understand, I know my father’s condition."
"That’s good then!" Jiang Ning nodded.
"Let’s go and have breakfast now, then I will pack my luggage," Ji Mingyue said.
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded his head.
...
An hour later.
The two of them had a simple porridge meal.
Jiang Ning wrote three letters, one to Jing Wuming, and one to Chen Canghai.
On this journey to the Royal Capital, he needs these two capable assistants to help.
Acting on his own would only reveal too much information.
And once caught up in such a whirlpool, conflict and fighting are inevitable.
The battle for the throne has always been filled with sword light.
Especially considering the current situation in Great Xia.
The position of Crown Prince is suspended and unresolved.
As a prince, as long as one has some ambition, some influence, and some power, it is hard to escape the impact of the throne.
Even if one doesn’t want to compete, those behind them will push that prince to compete.
Truly avoiding competition requires giving up everything, leaving the center of power, and displaying a harmless, indifferent to the world demeanor.
In such a situation, one must still worry about the suspicions and doubts from those in high positions.
"Marquis!"
Jiang Ning pushed open the door, and a messenger waiting at the door greeted him respectfully.
"Deliver this letter personally to Marquis Wen Yuan." Jiang Ning handed over a letter sealed with wax, speaking firmly.
"Yes, Marquis!!" The messenger received the letter from Jiang Ning, showing respect in his demeanor.
Then he turned and left.
Jiang Ning walked back into the courtyard.
By this time, Ji Mingyue had gone to pack her luggage, and he had made his arrangements.
Most matters in Guangning Prefecture were entrusted to Shen Wenyan.
The miscellaneous affairs were handled by Zhou Xing, Feng Jiuge, and Xie Xiaojiu on his behalf.
Plus, with his current movement technique speed, traveling at full speed, he could travel back and forth between Guangning City and the Royal Capital in just an hour.
"Now it’s just waiting for Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming to gather! Once they receive my message, they should start moving." Jiang Ning contemplated internally.
...
Back courtyard.
Bright sunlight from the distant east spilled onto the courtyard, casting mottled shadows of bamboo.
Compared to the previous days, today’s weather is excellent, uplifting his mood by three points.
[Divine Power]: 129/8788
"Increased by two!" Seeing the change on the panel, his heart couldn’t help but stir.
He had checked the panel once in the morning.
The Divine Power had accumulated to only 127, but now it had increased to 129.
"Only an hour has passed! Calculating efficiency, my daily increase in Divine Power is at least fifteen, potentially exceeding thirty." His thoughts flashed through his mind, filling him with anticipation.
"Observe for another day, I’ll know by tomorrow!" He thought to himself.
Then, his gaze swept over the other sections, finally landing on the Vajra Immortal Body.
He knew that the improvement efficiency of this cultivation technique mainly relates to his Qi-Blood, and secondly to his physical body.
The more abundant the Qi-Blood and the stronger the body, the higher the efficiency of gaining Experience Value from cultivating this technique.
"I wonder about the efficiency of this technique given my current strength in Qi-Blood and physical body?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
Exhale—
He immediately exhaled slowly, relaxing all his muscles and bones.
The next moment.
He posed in the corresponding movement of the Vajra Immortal Body, Qi-Blood booming around his body.
Rumble—
Just as the movement began, a rushing thundering sound emerged as if a river were flowing, the surface of his skin reflected a faint golden glow, seemingly having the virtual shadow of a dragon-elephant affecting the Qi-Blood.
