Chapter 610

(Unedited)



A week has passed and the time for the palace banquet is already at hand. In these past few days, Shin Jiao has stayed inside the house and noticed the increase of guards around the courtyard. Shin Jiao is not aware that the leaders in the clan already knew of his ability, so he just lived his life as usual. He would sometimes go out and would meet some of his friends.

Though he knew that he is being followed he didn't care. He would pretend that he is not aware and continue this simple life until the banquet.

Aside from going out, he continues his research on the stones and how he can integrate them more in his weapons and gears.

So far, he has already discovered a way to use just a thumb-size fragment of the white stone as a free and almost unlimited power core. But it is still unstable and his gears and weapons could not use them. In his research, he has found a way to integrate that power but due to its instability and chaotic nature, he is at a bottleneck on how to proceed forward.

In his mind, he is thinking of making a whole suit made of that black stone, that way the power input and output would be stable. But the black stone material is too brittle, if it is only used for lights just like in the Under City, then it would be fine. However, in battle, it is useless.

And this stumped him for a while and stops the progression of his research. However, he has gained more knowledge and byproducts through the research he did which made Shin Jiao felt contented.

It was already almost 5 pm when a maidservant knocks on the door and called out for Shin Jiao that the carriage is ready for him to go to the capital.

And of course, he left some instructions for the two people inside the house to not go out when he is away. The woman has already partly recovered her condition and has volunteered to be the person who takes care of the courtyard.

Because she was saved without any condition from the young doctor, Sue Na decided to at least take care of the young doctor's meal every day and also his daily needs along with the courtyard.

"The two of you would be in danger if you go out. So no matter what happened and who knocks on the door, do not open it. Do not believe what they tell you and do not trust anyone. Okay?" Shin Jiao said to Sue Na before leaving.

She is already aware that the Ji clan manor has something happening in it. But with the mysterious ability of Doctor Ji, she felt secured and not afraid.

And so Shin Jiao left the Ji Manor along with some of the elders and the clan patriarch towards the palace.

Meanwhile, the rest of the people who were left in the manor also began to move. The plan is to nab the woman and the child and hold the two as hostage. They have already discovered that the young doctor seems to have taken a liking to the mother and child. They even thought that the mother is the young doctor's woman.

No one can deny that ever since Sue Na recovered three days ago from being beaten, and her complexion returned to normal, she is actually a beauty. So in the clan, there is no short of the young clan masters inside of it who would try to climb trees just to take a glance at that beautiful figure inside that 'haunted' courtyard.

And so with the young doctor leaving a group has already planned something in their minds, and one of them is the real Qiong Ji. It was yesterday when he escaped the courtyard and decided to see for himself the so-called genius doctor. And upon peeking inside the courtyard, he saw someone whom he did not expect to see.

Although he is always muddle-headed and likes to chase after beauties, there is a woman which he would never forget. From the day he saw that woman, he was entranced by her beauty. However, it seems that the woman already has a fiancée. But he didn't care.

So one night, he snuck inside that family's house and nabbed the young woman. He got his way with her but was truly entranced hence he wanted her to be his wife instead. However, who would have thought that her fiancée didn't abandon the woman but instead married her. And this made Qiong Ji truly angered. He wanted her so badly and could not forget that night he forced his way into her.

However, after they got married, he lost contact with the two and from then on did not see her again. And now right in front of his eyes, he is looking at the same woman, that same mature beauty that he had dreamed of for a long time.

That woman could not compare to the rest of the woman he has slept with and has always imagined that those under him look like her. That same woman is actually living in his own courtyard and with the man who stole his name.

After that, he made his plan to get her no matter what. As for the little bastard, he would just treat that guy as baggage. The most important for him is the woman.



Shin Jiao and the rest of the people from the Ji clan arrive at a luxurious palace of the Silver Moon Empire. Although everything looks medieval for him, Shin Jiao did not react as he has already seen something like this on earth which has become a tourist attraction for the people visiting that place.

He could see many guards standing around the palace and also a lot of magnificent carriages with banners from different noble clans in the capital city of Guanglo.

As he alighted he saw many people greeting the people from the Ji clan as if fawning on them. He didn't know why but it looks like there are also many eyes glued on him.

Since Shin Jiao can be considered as very handsome, many young women from noble houses are already looking at his direction and even some madams are also eyeing him. He felt that his whole body is being stripped n.a.k.e.d by those gazes.

And because of this, many young men from the noble houses eyed him in disdain. He can even feel some killing intent mixed with those gazes.

But of course, he didn't want to entertain those things as he already has a goal in his mind and he didn't want his goal to be derailed just because of some simple and unimportant matters.

As he walked inside the palace, a person suddenly walked near him.

"It seems that you have truly risen your prestige young man." A familiar voice said.

When Shin Jiao turns his gaze to the side, he saw some familiar faces.

"Ah… Captain… Captain Lai… and you guys are here…" Shin Jiao exclaimed at the familiar figures behind the captain.

He immediately followed Captain Lai to the 4th company side and greeted everyone. Even vice-captain Chen Tung is here and the two greeted each other with an awkward atmosphere.

After some pleasantries, he left the group and walked towards the Ji clan area.

Not long later, the emperor appears and walked weakly while being assisted by a eunuch on the side. Everyone immediately kneeled to the ground and greeted the emperor with respect.

"Everyone please stand… We are here today to celebrate our heroes, our heroes who fought with their lives, and gained a victory for the Silver Moon Empire. In my authority as the emperor, I will now bestow upon them military merits and ranks, along with the reward and prestige that they have gained." the emperor said.

Although the soldiers and those who contributed have already received the military merits and rewards, they are just here for formalities so everyone just goes with the flow.

After a long announcement by the eunuch and many formalities, the banquet has officially started.

Many began to mingle with the clans and form bonds with those soldiers who have gained merits in the battle. This is true especially to Captain Lai and Vice-captain Tung. Many young ladies are already swarming around the two.

As for Shin Jiao, he was a bit confused as to why the emperor seems to have neglected him. Not only has he noticed this as even the Ji clan members also showed confusion in their eyes while looking in his direction. But there is no lack of noble families who would still talk to the Ji clan.

Although the emperor did not include Shin Jiao's contribution, many noble families are already aware of the reason why so they didn't care about it.

Suddenly Shin Jiao noticed the emperor whispering something in the eunuch's ears while looking in Shin Jiao's direction.

Not long later, he saw the same eunuch walking towards him.

"Doctor Ji, the emperor wanted to talk to you." the eunuch said with a smile.

When the people interacting with the Ji clan saw this, they all showed excitement on their faces. Many have already shown their desire to partner with the Ji clan. However, many still have a passive reaction. They are looking and are in an attitude of wait and see.

When Shin Jiao walked towards the front, he lowered himself and greeted.

"This lowly one greets the emperor, may you live an abundant life for thousands of years…"

When the emperor saw his greeting he was a bit taken aback but showed a contented look on his face. He now has a favorable impression of the young man. But he didn't want to show it on his face and just wave his hand with a serious look on his wizened face.

"Umm… stand up. I heard that you have greatly helped the people from the border city of Yun Ji. For that, I am most pleased. The border city is the first line of defense in the empire and the kingdom of Yun."

"This humble one doesn't deserve such praise, your majesty."

"Haha… Well, then… I will directly go to the point. My old bones don't like too much politics and scheming anymore. I heard that you are a great doctor, as you can see my body is sick and my imperial physicians are just useless quacks. They could not even determine what sickness has been plaguing me for far too long already. They said I was poisoned… so this is my question are you able to help this old man?"

The direct question from the emperor gained the attention of the masses and the hall turned silent.
