Upon hearing this, Pu Weiqing stood up and said, "Let's go to your King's Mansion for lunch."

Yuwen Jun was delighted. Come to think of it, this Dean's Pure Rhyme had not been drawn for a long time. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Bai Xiaowei should still be no match for Pu Weiqing.

However, Yuwen Jun did not really want the two of them to have a clear winner.

It's better to leave some things as suspense.

However, it must be admitted that Bai Xiaowei has the potential to surpass Pu Weiqing.

In a flash of inspiration, the two arrived at the King's Palace.

Upon seeing this, the steward Qu Li quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness; greetings, Dean."

Yuwen Jun glanced at Qu Li and ordered, "Prepare a banquet."

Upon hearing this, Qu Li immediately went to prepare.

After entering the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, Pu Weiqing curiously looked around. Come to think of it, this was the first time the Dean had come to Yuwen Jun's Prince's Mansion.

This place is only two streets away from Bailu Academy.

In the last year or two, Yuwen Jun has frequently returned here; most of the time, he is not in the capital.

"This King's Mansion has also ignited the ambitions of many students in the academy. Many students hope that their future achievements can be exchanged for a King's Mansion in the capital," Pu Weiqing suddenly said with a smile.

Once upon a time, Xu Huanshan and Jing Peiyao were the two pillars of Bailu Academy.

Today, all students at Bailu Academy take Yuwen Jun as their role model.

A beautiful maid brought over a pot of fine Longquan water. Yuwen Jun slowly poured tea for the Dean and said with a faint smile, "The students of Bailu Academy in this generation do have the opportunity to be ennobled and appointed as prime ministers, but the chances are not very high."

"After the new policy is implemented, many talented people will emerge, and the phenomenon of talent clustering will be particularly obvious. However, I still hope that most talented people will develop in the field of cultivation."

"Everyone wants to be an official, but there aren't that many positions in the officialdom."

"But you never know what will happen in the future. Who knows what the future holds?"

Pu Weiqing took a sip of Longquan water and asked directly, "How confident are you in ending this chaotic era?"

Yuwen Jun paused, his eyes like a calm sea, yet turbulent currents surged beneath.

After a moment, Yuwen Jun solemnly replied, "I don't know."

Pu Weiqing gently encouraged him, "You can be more resolute. The Chaos Emperor Qi is your greatest asset."

Yuwen Jun smiled and asked in return, "Why do you suddenly think so highly of me? You never thought I could do anything before, or perhaps you think I have ulterior motives, like wanting to revitalize the Dragon Clan."

Pu Weiqing replied seriously, "Older people always think they can easily see through a young person, but I can no longer see through you."

"Because I can't see through it, I feel that the possibility is greater in you."

"You are qualified to fight for the position of ruler of the world."

Yuwen Jun smiled helplessly and said, "This Prince's mansion is full of Prince Ping's spies, as well as His Majesty's spies. We should be careful what we say."

"You are the Dean of Bailu Academy, so you must have the stance that a Dean should have."

Pu Weiqing didn't take it to heart, but simply picked up his teacup and took another sip. He had to admit, the tea tasted really good.

Pu Weiqing still preferred to drink his own coarse tea, simply because he was used to its taste.

Soon after, the banquet began.

A banquet for only two people was inevitably a bit extravagant, but Pu Weiqing did not offer any advice to Yuwen Jun. Young people should do whatever they want, and there was no need to worry about the details of life.

Pu Weiqing knew very well that Yuwen Jun might not actually have the chance to stand at the pinnacle of the Dao. Once he was completely useless, he would have to die. Whether it was the Human Emperor or the Spirit Emperor, they would both be ruthless towards Yuwen Jun.

It's certainly a good thing to enjoy life as much as possible while you're still alive.

However, Pu Weiqing also genuinely hoped that Yuwen Jun could reach the pinnacle of the Dao in the future, and that the world should occasionally be ruled by young people, instead of always being ruled by the old folks...

Now that Pu Weiqing has lost the ability to protect Yuwen Jun, he naturally felt a hidden and unspeakable sadness.

After meal.

Pu Weiqing returned directly to Bailu Academy and did not stay in the King's Mansion for long. As the dean, if he were to get too close to Yuwen Jun in public, it would inevitably cause some gossip.

Inside the main hall, Yuwen Jun carefully recalled what the Dean had said earlier. Many people had already seen that he had the potential to become the ruler of the world. Thinking of this, Yuwen Jun found it very interesting, but deep down, he also felt a little bit of fear.

He was always stirring up trouble, but in reality, Yuwen Jun was always being pushed forward by the situation.

The last Origin Chip is in the hands of the God Emperor, and it's unknown when the initial plan will be realized.

"Summon Prince Ping here," Yuwen Jun instructed Qu Li outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Qu Li stood at the door, bowed slightly, and hurriedly set off.

……

After half a stick of incense.

King Ping arrived dressed in a dark green brocade robe.

Seeing Yuwen Jun alone in the main hall, without any singing or dancing, he felt somewhat puzzled.

"Greetings, Your Highness," Prince Ping said, bowing slightly to Yuwen Jun.

Yuwen Jun nodded, then stood up and personally handed a cup of Longquan water to Prince Ping, saying in a calm tone, "There is something I need you to mediate. Consider it a favor I owe you."

Prince Ping was slightly taken aback, then said with a hint of fear, "Putting aside personal favors, it would be my honor to do something within my power for Your Highness, but only if I am capable of doing so."

"If you cannot do it, then rashly agreeing will only jeopardize Your Highness's plans."

Yuwen Jun put his arm around Prince Ping's shoulder and slowly walked to the throne. The two sat down together on the throne. Prince Ping was flattered and widened his eyes slightly, saying, "May I ask what Your Highness needs my help with?"

The more enthusiastic one is, the bigger the matter will be, and King Ping had many thoughts on this.

Yuwen Jun smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. The Ministry of Personnel will prepare an examination paper, and I plan to let the scholars in Zhengxiong Mountain enter the officialdom."

"As for the content of the test, it can be a bit more lenient and doesn't need to be too difficult."

"The scholars in Zhengxiong Mountain also deserve much credit for the implementation of this new policy."

"But I have no personal relationship with Qi Yunliang, the Minister of Personnel, so it's not appropriate to say this outright."

"After much thought, I realize you have extensive connections in the capital, so I have no choice but to ask you for help."

Upon hearing this, King Ping breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled, saying, "Of course, of course."

Seeing that King Ping agreed so readily, Yuwen Jun felt a little relieved. He then said in a serious tone, "This matter should not be made public. With the new policies in place, I am suspected of favoritism. If it gets out, it will inevitably be seized upon by villains to make things difficult for me."

King Ping laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, this matter can be accomplished without anyone knowing."

"Although I rarely have contact with Lord Qi Yunliang, we do have some indirect friends."

Yuwen Jun was relieved and said directly, "Actually, it was the Grand Preceptor who came up with this bad idea. If it weren't for the Grand Preceptor's guidance, I really wouldn't know how to settle the scholars in Zhengxiong Mountain."

Upon hearing that the Grand Preceptor was involved in this matter, Prince Ping's expression immediately turned serious, and he solemnly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured." (End of Chapter)
