Chapter 324 - The Smug Mentor
Chapter 324 – The Smug Mentor
Beatrice took out some snacks from her interspatial ring.
Mo Yelou hid all the snacks into his interspatial ring and tore open the bag of potato chips to eat together with the coffee. As he ate, he said, “Mother came to visit me last month and didn’t bring me any snacks. The two of you haven’t come to visit me recently either. I’m so hungry that I’m about to cry.”
Hearing Mo Yelou’s complaints, Mo Yuelou pondered for a moment and said earnestly, “If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight of it.”
His brother immediately said without hesitation, “I’ll take off this crown and give it to you. Do you want it?”
Mo Yelou and Beatrice shook their heads at the same time. “We don’t want it.”
None of them wanted to be the emperor.
Being an emperor meant that there were endless documents to be dealt with and endless diplomats from other countries to meet. The entire Divine Moon Empire was on his shoulders. That feeling was too stressful.
Mo Yelou sighed and said, “I don’t have the time to cultivate when I have to deal with all these business matters every day. I’ve already been stuck at mid-stage Supreme Master level for twenty years.”
Mo Yelou said enviously, “The last time the Cong Lang Mystic Realm opened, I even wanted to join in.” But as the emperor, he could not be willful and reckless.
Mo Yuelou frowned and said, “You’re just lazy. Don’t make excuses for your laziness. Besides, only by becoming the emperor will you have more opportunities to learn from the Grand State Master.”
.
“Back then, I heard that becoming the Emperor would allow you to become the Grand State Master’s disciple. In order to obtain this opportunity, you fought so hard with me that you bled profusely. Why, now that you’ve discovered that you’re untalented, and that the Grand State Master is unable to forge you into a genius, you’re regretting it?”
The Grand State Master had become a Prime Master six hundred years ago and was the person with the most respected status in the Divine Moon Empire. Which junior of the Mo Clan didn’t want to curry favor with him and become his disciple?
“Tsk.” Mo Yelou threw a piece of potato chips at Mo Yuelou and scolded him angrily, “Shut up! As if you’re talented? Sheng Xiao broke through to become a Supreme Master before the age of thirty. Why don’t you compete with him?”
Mo Yuelou was rendered speechless.
When the two brothers quarreled, Beatrice did not say a word. She drank her coffee quietly. She was obviously used to the way the two brothers interacted.
Mo Yelou finished his bag of chips quickly and drank his coffee before getting down to business. “I called you here tonight because I have something to share.”
“What is it?” asked Beatrice.
“When we came here earlier, I don’t know if you guys noticed, but all the flowers in Jingdu bloomed overnight.” He pointed outside the window and continued, “Those trees in the royal palace also recovered their vitality in an instant and became green.”
Both Beatrice and Mo Yuelou noticed such a huge change.
Mo Yuelou said, “It’s deep winter now. That doesn’t make sense.”
This year’s weather was extremely cold. In previous years, this time, the pear trees would be budding. But this year, all the pear trees seemed to have been frozen and did not react at all.
But overnight, they all blossomed.
It was indeed strange.
Beatrice saw that Mo Yelou was in a good mood, so she asked thoughtfully, “What good things happened?”
Mo Yelou smiled mysteriously and said, “The Divine Moon Empire has another Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master!”
“Who is it?!” Both Mo Yuelou and Beatrice were overjoyed.
Originally, there were only two Rank 9 Purifying Spirit Masters and three Beast Tamers on the Holy Spirit Continent. The Divine Moon Empire had one Rank 9 Purifying Spirit Masters and two Prime Masters. Because of this, the Divine Moon Empire had always been recognized as the strongest of the four superpowers.
Now that there was another Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master, the Divine Moon Empire had two Prime Masters and two Saints!
After tonight, no one would be able to shake the Divine Moon Empire’s superpower status!
How could they not be overjoyed?
“It’s Saint Lin Jiansheng from the Purifying Spirit Academy’s Prosperous Capital branch.” Mo Yelou said, “I called all of you here tonight because I wanted to discuss what title should be given to our Saint to match his powerful strength.”
Upon hearing Lin Jiansheng’s name, both Beatrice and Mo Yuelou had mixed expressions.
“It’s Supremacy Lin, who the royal family invites to attend Mother’s birthday banquet every year, but because he can’t bear to spend money to prepare a birthday gift, he always finds excuses not to attend?”
The fact that Lin Jiansheng was a money-grubber had long spread throughout the entire Divine Moon Empire. Even someone like Beatrice, who wasn’t gossipy, knew about it.
Mo Yelou nodded. “That’s him.”
Beatrice covered her mouth and coughed lightly. She smiled and said, “Why don’t we call him Saint Stingy?”

Mo Yuelou glared at Beatrice. “Do not be rude to a saint.”
Beatrice spread out her hands helplessly. “I can’t think of an honorific name that can match him.”
Mo Yelou looked at Mo Yuelou. “Second Brother, what do you think we should name this Saint?”
Mo Yuelou said, “He has made a sea of flowers bloom during this cold winter. How about we call him the Spring Welcoming Saint?”
Mo Yelou complained, “Why don’t you just call it Spring Welcoming House?” He kicked Mo Yuelou’s leg. “Where did all your knowledge go?”
The three of them disagreed and almost started arguing.
At this moment, someone else arrived at the Divination Tower. Mo Yelou’s personal attendant respectfully brought Lin An to Mo Yelou’s meeting room.
“Your Majesty, the Grand State Master’s Lin An is here.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Yelou jumped down from the stool immediately and put on his slippers. Then, he sat upright and said solemnly, “Please come in.”
The door was pushed open, and Lin An, the Grand State Master’s servant, entered the meeting room. He first bowed to Mo Yelou, then to Mo Yuelou and Beatrice.
Knowing that Beatrice did not like being called a princess, Lin An addressed her as Your Highness.
“Long time no see, Linan.” Although Lin An was only a follower of the Grand State Master, he was trusted by the Grand State Master. In front of Linan, Beatrice and Mo Yuelou could not put on airs.
Mo Yelou asked Linan, “Linan, what brings you here so late at night?”
Lin An said, “The Grand State Master sent me to tell His Majesty that he has already came up with Lin Jiansheng’s honorific name . His name is…”
“Saint Ling Xiao!”
Upon hearing this honorific name, Mo Yelou and the two siblings looked at each other and felt guilty. “Could I trouble you to go back and tell the Grand State Master that this honorific name is very good? I agree.”
“Good night, Your Majesty.”
Lin An came and went quickly.
As soon as he left, Mo Yelou lamented, “The Grand State Master is indeed the Grand State Master. Look at his cultural level and then look at the two of you.” Mo Yelou pointed at the two of them. He shook his head and said, “Stop fighting and killing and read more books.”
With a cold snort, Mo Yuelou and Beatrice left.
After they left, the smile on Mo Yelou’s face disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and muttered in confusion, “Saint Ling Xiao…”
Did Ling Xiao mean that he was above the clouds?
If the Grand State Master had given Lin Jiansheng this honorific name, what would Saint Xuan Ye think?
No matter what he thought, the title was given by the Grand State Master. If Saint Xuan Ye was unhappy, he should find the Grand State Master to reason with him. Thinking of this, Mo Yelou immediately felt relieved.
…
Yu Huang and Lin Jiansheng, who were at Broken Cliff, did not know that the emperor had agonized a great deal over his title.
Yu Huang had personally witnessed Lin Jiansheng break through to a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. She was still extremely excited.
The moment her mentor’s psychic power completely spread out, even the Grand State Master, who was far away in the capital of the Divine Moon Empire, sensed it. Yu Huang did not dare to imagine just how big her mentor’s psychic power would be when it was completely spread out.
Compared to her mentor’s endless psychic savings, her psychic powers, which were the size of two or three football fields, were nothing.
“Mentor, I’ll continue my seclusion!”
Yu Huang only wanted to make the best use of her time to cultivate and break through to become a Level 4 Purifying Spirit Master as soon as possible. She did not want to delay any further.
Just as Yu Huang turned around, she was stopped by Lin Jiansheng. “Don’t leave yet.”
Yu Huang stopped in her tracks.
Lin Jiansheng walked down from the pile of bones and stood beside Yu Huang. When he reached out to stroke his beard, he realized that he had long lost his beard.
Lin Jiansheng decided to re-grow his beard and hair. That way, he would have the image of a saint of virtue and prestige that transcended the mortal world.
“Now that I have become a Saint, help me think of a few extraordinary and powerful titles.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
