Seeing Qi Tian not answering his question, Emperor Jianwu snorted coldly again, and said, “It doesn’t matter, even if you don’t answer my question, I can find out for myself. Qi Tian, today I will teach you to recognize one thing: in this vast world, there are countless capable people and extraordinary individuals, and the methods cultivators can use are endless. It’s not just you who possesses some magical abilities; I do too, and I have more than you can imagine, more wondrous than you can imagine. Breaking your little disguise skills is simply too easy for me; I will now let you witness my methods.”

At that moment, the place where the spirit force hand had suddenly appeared before began to emit fluctuations of spirit energy again, but this time what appeared was not a spirit force hand, but a mirror, a bronze mirror the size of a folding fan.

This bronze mirror floated in the air and emitted a beam of white light that shone upon Qi Tian. Qi Tian’s body did not change, but the image of a person emerged on the surface of the mirror, an image of Qi Tian without any disguise skills applied.

Suddenly, the voice of Emperor Jianwu, tinged with a hint of madness, rang out through the Diligent Government Hall. “Hahaha, so this is what you look like, Qi Tian. I truly didn’t expect you to be so young, not in your thirties, not even in your twenties, but merely a teenager. I have lived nearly five hundred years and have never seen anyone like you, who has cultivated to the Half-step Golden Core Realm at such a young age. You are truly a genius, truly the best gift that Heaven has bestowed upon me. It seems Heaven does not wish my demise, wanting to bestow upon me a chance to live another five hundred years.”

Upon hearing these words, Qi Tian was shocked yet again. He had not expected Emperor Jianwu to see through his disguise simply with the use of a mirror, revealing his true face, not only discerning his actual age but also seeing through to his true level of cultivation. This mirror was terrifying indeed; it seemed nothing could remain disguised before it. What truly astonished Qi Tian, however, were not these revelations, but Emperor Jianwu’s last words: what did he mean by living another five hundred years? Could it be that Emperor Jianwu intended to do something to him?

Qi Tian’s thoughts whirled rapidly as he contemplated a strategy to escape. At this time, he dared not stay any longer in the Diligent Government Hall. Emperor Jianwu was too terrifying, beyond what Qi Tian could handle now; he had to think of a way to leave immediately.

Just then, Emperor Jianwu suddenly started to cough violently. Initially, the coughs were mild, but they quickly grew louder and more intense, as if he were about to cough out his lungs, making it chilling even for onlookers to hear.

“Quick, get my medicine,” Emperor Jianwu initially endured the coughs stubbornly, but he soon could no longer bear it and called out.

Su Jinghan hurried to a corner of the Diligent Government Hall, and moments later, he reemerged with a bowl of medicinal soup and then walked to another corner. “Prince, the medicine is here.”

Then, a gap suddenly appeared in the void, and a withered hand reached through, taking the soup before quickly retracting back into the gap.

Sounds of swallowing the medicine followed, and after the medicine was finished, the sound of the soup bowl dropping and shattering on the floor could be heard. After that, Emperor Jianwu’s violent coughing gradually subsided.

“Prince, Prince…” Su Jinghan stood in place calling out in a low voice. No matter how much he called, Emperor Jianwu made no sound.

Su Jinghan continued to stand still and said, “Are you feeling better, Prince? Do you need your servant to bring another bowl of medicine?”

Emperor Jianwu still made no sound, and Su Jinghan said, “Prince, I understand; I will go get another bowl of medicine for you right away.”

With that, Su Jinghan turned and walked to the previous corner, fetched another bowl of medicine, and returned to where Emperor Jianwu was hiding. Su Jinghan held the medicine bowl with both hands and spoke reverently, “Prince, I have brought the medicine; your servant will bring it to you right now.”

As he said this, one of Su Jinghan’s hands moved away from the medicine bowl and reached forward, tearing a gap in the void. At the moment the gap appeared, Qi Tian could clearly hear Emperor Jianwu’s panting coming from the gap.

“Prince, I have brought the medicine for you,” Su Jinghan said again.

“Good, you’ve done well. Just put the medicine there and leave,” the voice of Emperor Jianwu sounded somewhat stronger than before.

A strange smile appeared on Su Jinghan’s face as he said, “Prince, I have spared no effort in preparing this medicinal soup for you; it will greatly benefit your health. Your servant must watch you drink this bowl of medicine before I can rest assured.”

Emperor Jianwu said, “Su Jinghan, what are you saying? Didn’t you hear me clearly? I told you to put the medicine down and leave.”

Su Jinghan replied slowly, “Prince, as I said, this medicine was personally prepared by your servant. I must watch you drink it before I can be at ease. If your servant leaves, how can I be assured without seeing you drink it? Oh, Prince, you can’t move now, can you? No matter, your servant will go in and personally see to it that you drink this medicine.”
