The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 825: You Deserve It

However, Honorary Emperor was not someone who would give up so easily.

He looked at Nanli and asked, "A’Li, do you also think I am not suitable for cultivation?"

He only trusted the little girl.

Nanli sighed helplessly and spoke the truth, "It’s not about age; it’s that Honorary Emperor, your physique just isn’t suitable for cultivation."

To put it plainly, he’s just an ordinary mortal with no talent, no special qualities, and no cultivation foundation.

This statement struck Honorary Emperor like a thunderclap, hitting him straight on.

He slumped further, murmuring, "I thought... I was the chosen one."

After all, he had fought his way out from among the many princes.

Nanli said, "Honorary Emperor, don’t be too sad. The path of cultivation is difficult. Out of a thousand people, only one might have the bones and talent to cultivate. Even in their so-called Immortal World, ninety percent of people are not Spell Cultivators."

Those people simply receive the nourishment of spiritual energy, which extends their lifespans.

Honorary Emperor continued to sit there dejectedly.

Seeing this, Grand Lady comforted him, "Honorary Emperor, I am the same. No, I suspect that not many members of the Chu family have the talent for cultivation."

Honorary Emperor’s face brightened a little.

At least someone was keeping him company.

But Nanli continued, "Grandmother, our family is different. Our bones are strong, and our talents are sharp; we are capable of cultivation. Even at your age, if you diligently practice, you could probably reach the Base Building stage in less than twenty years."

Grand Lady froze, "Really... really?"

She hadn’t even considered such a thing at her age.

Chu Shuo hurriedly asked, "What about me?!"

Nanli nodded.

"Could I... could I also?" Chu Huan asked, pointing at himself, looking somewhat dazed.

Nanli nodded again.

She had checked the family’s pulses and bones before, so she knew their potential.

She added, "You two simply don’t have much interest in martial arts, but that doesn’t mean you can’t excel at it. Even my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and my eldest nephew all have the talent to cultivate."

Everyone realized it now.

It seemed like everyone in the family could cultivate.

They no longer dared to look at Honorary Emperor’s expression.

Sure enough, Honorary Emperor suddenly stood up, glaring at Nanli. "Why?! I... I don’t believe it!"

Nanli shrugged, "Honorary Emperor, while your body is much stronger now, you still need to remember that you can’t have too many emotional fluctuations. If you don’t believe me, I can have someone teach you."

"Fine!" Honorary Emperor immediately agreed.

He originally wanted Nanli to personally guide him, but seeing how busy she was, he reluctantly gave up.

However, he had one request, "But it must be someone strong who teaches me, or else I won’t recognize it if I can’t learn."

Nanli had already planned this. "Then let Shandu teach you."

At Honorary Emperor’s age, even if he couldn’t draw energy into his body, understanding some Buddhist or Taoist principles could still be very helpful.

Shandu had just broken through to Nascent Soul stage, and Honorary Emperor had no objection to being taught by him.

Meanwhile, the Chu family members were all deep in thought.

Before, they didn’t know they had the potential to cultivate. Now that they did, they were eager to try.

However, the laws of heaven and earth were strict.

Nanli spoke seriously, "You can cultivate, but once you do, you can no longer hold secular power. Do you understand this?"

Chu Yan understood first.

It was to prevent those in power from living too long or becoming too powerful, which would disrupt the natural order and the laws of reincarnation.

Even cultivators sometimes struggled to control their own hearts.

Whether they were from the Chu family or others, they had to abide by this rule.

Otherwise, if things got out of control, it would only cause suffering for the common people.

Therefore, Nanli set an example for her family, urging them to think carefully.

Once they embarked on the path of cultivation, they could no longer govern secular affairs.

The Chu family members exchanged glances.

Chu Shuo was fine; he wasn’t involved in politics, so it didn’t matter to him.

But Chu Huan was a different story...

He thought for a moment and then said, "Sixth Sister, I’m sorry, but... I still want to serve the court, serve the people."

Nanli gently shook her head, "Third Brother, there’s no need to apologize. You are loyal to the court and assist Fifth Brother in ensuring the welfare of the people. That, too, is a great virtue. This is just helping me in a different way, guarding the people in a different way." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Moreover, she admired Third Brother’s decision.

Chu Huan felt a great weight lift from his chest and nodded.

As for the rest of the Chu family, they shared the same thoughts.

Chu Shuo and his wife still enjoyed doing business, making them the strongest support for Mu Nation.

Madam Shen and Xiao Wanyi had no such ambitions. They preferred to live a simple life with their husbands, growing old together with the ones they loved.

Though there would be partings in the future, they would cherish their time together and have no regrets.

As for Chu Yan, as the Human Emperor, he couldn’t walk the cultivation path. But being the true dragon son of heaven, his lifespan would naturally be a little longer.

In the end, the Chu family, despite being the most talented in cultivation, had all ended up not cultivating!

Honorary Emperor gritted his teeth and watched.

How about giving their talent to him since they weren’t gonna use it?

Meanwhile, in a corner, Xiao Wanyi glanced at Zhongwei in her arms and had other thoughts.

But it didn’t matter. Whatever her child wanted to do in the future, she wouldn’t oppose it.

Just then, Shandu returned with the person they were waiting for.

The sky had already turned completely dark.

Ximen Chuan was covered in injuries.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he couldn’t help but collapse to his knees, muttering, "I... I came too late... too late!"

It seemed Nanli had already killed all his subordinates.

The Night Asuras were in a similar state, though they were clearly injured less severely than Ximen Chuan. It appeared that Ximen Chuan had been the one leading the charge, a true hands-on leader.

Nanli shot him a look. "Am I really that ruthless to you?"

Ximen Chuan looked at Nanli. "They... they’re still alive...?"

"Yes," Nanli noticed his severe injuries and added, "You can relax and faint now."

Ximen Chuan, hearing her words, closed his eyes and passed out in peace.

Nanli examined his injuries.

To her surprise, his spiritual energy had been completely exhausted. If he didn’t heal and restore his energy, his cultivation would decline.

Cinian recognized him too.

Seeing Nanli frowning, he leaned in and asked, "Is this Lord Ximen in bad condition?"

Nanli explained the situation.

Cinian’s eyes shifted. "He’s done a lot of bad things. Perhaps it’s best not to interfere."

Chu Shuo and Chu Yan also learned that this man was the Palace Master whom Gu Xuanfeng had sworn to serve, and they didn’t want Sixth Sister to save him.

But they didn’t speak up.

They wouldn’t interfere with Sixth Sister’s decisions.

But the Night Asuras heard and became anxious. Without caring for their own injuries, they knelt down. "Please, Master Nanli, help the Palace Master! He exhausted all his spiritual energy to save Yun Shen!"
