496: Chapter 176: Discussing Heroes on a Rafting Trip, Xuanyuan Temporarily Assumes the Role of a Teacher【Big Cup!】 496: Chapter 176: Discussing Heroes on a Rafting Trip, Xuanyuan Temporarily Assumes the Role of a Teacher【Big Cup!】 A battle is looming, and the pillar of the Human Race is still here drinking tea and teasing a cat?

Ah, teasing a tiger?

Li Ping’an guiltily glanced around before lifting the curtain and slipping inside, stepping into the barrier set up by the Yellow Emperor.

“Look, the man of the hour is back.”

The Yellow Emperor tossed a slice of meat to the little White Tiger, picked up his tea to rinse his mouth, and rose from his rocking chair, jesting like an old friend:

“Your living quarters are too humble, a second-rank Inspector dwelling here.

If the Demon Race next door were to see this, they might think our Human Race is weak.”

Li Ping’an performed a Daoist salute and said, “Your Majesty, I pay my respects!”

“No need for that, come over here and have some tea.”

The Yellow Emperor looked into Li Ping’an’s eyes, and spoke slowly:

“I’m currently hesitating over a matter.

Why don’t you guess what it is?

If you can guess correctly, I’ll give you something nice.”

Li Ping’an smiled, “How would I dare to guess Your Majesty’s thoughts?”

The Yellow Emperor said seriously, “Your father is staying at my Xuanyuan Palace.”

“Your Majesty’s kindness is known throughout the Desolate Era.

You would never trouble my father, a man of such goodness.”

Li Ping’an, not lacking in tact, continued:

“Since Your Majesty has mentioned this, the matter you are hesitating over must relate to me.

With the military matters at hand, Your Majesty’s presence here suggests you have some covert commands for me.”

“Hahaha!”

The Yellow Emperor could not help but laugh:

“Covert commands?

Hahahaha!

You really have a way with words, and what’s more rare is your lack of flattery.

“Guess again.

That was too vague.”

Li Ping’an thought carefully, “Your Majesty isn’t going to have me oversee the military, are you?”

“Wrong guess.

You’re not heavy enough for that role.

Without reaching the Taiyi Dao Realm, taking on the role of a Military Governor would just make you a target for the enemy’s experts.”

The Yellow Emperor stood up, hands behind his back:

“I’ll wait for you in the valley three thousand miles southwest of the barracks.

Your…

ah, the Feng family is starting to scheme early again, assigning little Zhansiang to be your trusted aide?

Such an underutilization of the child.

“Ping’an, make sure all your fellow disciples, your master, and your bodyguards are well placed.

For this war, you’ll stay by my side, and I will teach you something that might come in handy later.

“And about me being here, make sure they don’t spread the word, lest demon experts catch wind of my whereabouts.”

A stir moved through Li Ping’an’s Dao heart.

The Yellow Emperor was going to teach him something?

What did this mean?

In the brief moment that Li Ping’an was lost in thought, the Yellow Emperor had already passed by him, his figure quietly vanishing without a trace, and the Dao Charm that accompanied him dissipated as if he had never been there.

But the Xuanyuan Sword Command and the Xuanyuan Sword Scabbard continued to quiver.

Li Ping’an pursed his lips slightly, his Dao heart a tad disturbed.

Could it be that the Yellow Emperor was about to pass on to him the supreme Secret Technique that could lift one to become a Daluo Golden Immortal through dual cultivation?

To help him break through the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and successfully become an immortal?

Ah, this…

Li Ping’an turned around, and the curtain opened, revealing four of his trusted aides with somewhat stupefied expressions.

Li Ping’an furrowed his brow and asked, “Did all four of you hear that?”

Xinghan and Xing He quickly nodded.

“You must hurry, Lord!

We’ll find a place to bury ourselves right now!”

“Lord, you’re going to learn from His Majesty?

Momma…

Our brothers are going to make it big!”

“Keep it down!

Xing He, what are you shouting for!”

Feng Zhansiang scrutinized Li Ping’an with furrowed brows as if trying to find something extraordinary about him.

Feng Tingzhu pressed her lips together hesitantly, crushing the Jade Talisman in her palm, she did not report to Minister Feng the news of the Yellow Emperor’s visit.

In the end, her loyalty was to the entire Human Race.

Shortly, Li Ping’an made the necessary arrangements, instructing the four bodyguards to wait there for Qing Su to finish her seclusion.

Once the rallying drums of war began to sound, Qing Su would surely be awakened.

As a fifth-rank martial envoy, she would likely be dispatched to the front lines, so having four Heavenly Immortals by her side would provide some extra security.

As for Gu Qingcheng, Chen Ting’er, Yu Yingshu, and Wen Ling’er…

“You four stay here and keep watch.”

Li Ping’an said seriously:

“In the upcoming battle with the Demon Race, Yuan Immortals are the troops, and Heavenly Immortals are the officers.

According to the rules of the Eastern Alliance, those who have not attained immortality will not enter the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

“Today, His Majesty paid us a visit.

You must not boast about this to anyone.

It’s likely His Majesty needs me to purge the political corruption within the Eastern Alliance, nothing else.”

The four hurriedly pledged their agreement, not daring to utter a single witty remark.

Gu Qingcheng whispered, “Elder Brother Ping’an, don’t you want to change your clothes, perhaps into an official’s ceremonial robe or something of the sort?”

“It’s fine.”

Li Ping’an looked down at his attire, the light blue Daoist robe, the bright white inner collar, and the Immortal Treasure armor underneath.

Weren’t these quite fitting?

He stood up, looked toward his master’s tent where he was in seclusion, left behind a letter, and hurriedly departed.

Three thousand miles southwest of the barracks, it would still take some time to reach.

‘Could it really be that he’s going to pass on the dual cultivation technique to me?

Whether to accept it or not…

Accepting it would be unfair to my junior sister, but declining would surely leave me with regrets.’

‘That’s not exactly true.’

‘If the dual cultivation Secret Technique of the Yellow Emperor allows me to become an immortal, wouldn’t I then become a slave to my desires?’

‘To be a slave to the Heavenly Dao or to my desires, that is the question.’

Li Ping’an pondered continuously in the depths of his heart, quietly left the barracks, and tried to hide his presence and figure as he made his way southwest.

On the way, the Nine Dragons Sword Scabbard in his spiritual dais gently quivered, and a surge of Dao Charm enveloped him, severing several Golden Immortal spiritual senses that had locked onto him.

…

When Li Ping’an found the Yellow Emperor again, he had transformed into an elder with white hair, wearing a straw coat and bamboo hat, drifting along a winding river on a simple boat.

Li Ping’an was not being disrespectful towards this Human Emperor;
