Chapter 2820: The Grand Secretary’s Promotion

Wang Lanxuan added from the side, "I can testify to this point."

After all, Wang Lanxuan had been present when Yun Xi broke through her cultivation barrier.

"Testify?" The Emperor was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up. "Could it be that Wangzhi’s cultivation…"

"My cultivation has long surpassed the Golden Book Qi," Yun Xi said with a helpless smile. She let a tiny bit of her aura leak out. The Emperor immediately felt an indescribable pressure that made it hard for her to breathe. At the same time, the Regent felt a deep fear of this pressure.

"Your aura," the Regent said, "can suppress the Golden Book Qi."

Yun Xi nodded slightly. "My cultivation is already a step above the Golden Book Qi, so naturally, I can suppress you. Therefore, whether it is a sparring match or an exchange, it is not a big problem."

After speaking, Yun Xi withdrew her aura.

"That is wonderful! In that case, we do not need to fear the other experts who have reached the Golden Book Qi." The Emperor was overjoyed. For years, although the Great Confucian State was one of the four major nations, it had been suppressed by the other three, barely daring to breathe. Now, he could finally relax.

Yun Xi smiled faintly. "Your Majesty, whether it is a sparring match or an exchange, the time is set for half a month from now."

"Why half a month later?" the Regent asked curiously.

Yun Xi smiled gently. "Did Grand Secretary Wang not break through to the Purple Book Qi some time ago? I plan to find a way to help Grand Secretary Wang also break through to the Golden Book Qi."

"(⊙o⊙)…" The Emperor was stunned, looking at Yun Xi. "You mean you can help others break through their Book Qi?"

Yun Xi laughed lightly. "Actually, breaking through the Book Qi is not difficult. It is just that one must consolidate their cultivation after each breakthrough. Grand Secretary Wang has done much for the country and the people over the years. His cultivation could have entered the Purple stage long ago, but he did not, mainly because he was too busy. Although he has only been in the Purple stage for a short time, there is no need to worry about his cultivation being unstable."

"Excellent! Then I can still delay for these half a month," the Emperor said directly.

In truth, it did not matter whether he delayed or not. As long as the Directorate of Astronomy calculated the auspicious date to be half a month later, that would suffice.

The Emperor’s will was the highest will for the Directorate of Astronomy.

Sure enough, the date announced by the Directorate of Astronomy was half a month later.

For the representatives of the various nations, half a month was not a long time. Since this was not a private sparring match, there were many preparations to be made. Therefore, once the date half a month later was confirmed, the other three nations had no objections.

Yun Xi then went to Wang Lanxuan’s home according to her original plan.

"Taste the tea from my house," Wang Lanxuan said, leading Yun Xi to the study and having tea served. "The tea from your house last time was really good. But thinking about it, you must have some too, so I did not bring out the little bit I had left."

"I feel like you were afraid I would drink all the tea from your house," Yun Xi said, looking at Wang Lanxuan speechlessly. "When did you become so stingy?"

"It is not that I am stingy. It is mainly that the tea is from your house. It would be embarrassing for me to give it to you again," Wang Lanxuan absolutely refused to admit what Yun Xi said.

That look of pious stinginess had nothing to do with him.

Yun Xi snorted. "Do you really think I am a child?"

"Your age is younger than my son’s," Wang Lanxuan said seriously.

Yun Xi gave Wang Lanxuan another disdainful look. "Alright, let’s hurry and help you break through." Yun Xi then took out a Peiyuan Pill for Wang Lanxuan.

"Take the Peiyuan Pill, then go ahead and break through. I will guard you from the side," Yun Xi said seriously.

Wang Lanxuan did not hesitate any longer. He happily accepted the Peiyuan Pill, swallowed it, and then sat cross-legged to begin his breakthrough.

Yun Xi sat nearby, drinking tea and reading books. It had to be said that Wang Lanxuan had quite a collection of books.

Yun Xi thought to herself whether she should borrow some books from Wang Lanxuan later. For a family to be considered a scholarly lineage, the variety and quantity of books could not be lacking.

As the Grand Secretary, it was impossible for Wang Lanxuan not to have some collections.

Yun Xi loved reading, mainly because Liangchen had forced her to.

Of course, Liangchen also had many books. Yun Xi planned to leave some for the descendants of the Yun family, serving as a guarantee for them.

Yun Xi let her mind wander for about an hour. Suddenly, a golden light appeared on Wang Lanxuan’s body. Wang Lanxuan had broken through to the Golden Book Qi.

Yun Xi wrinkled her nose. "When I broke through, you said I smelled bad. Today, you probably do not smell much better."

Wang Lanxuan naturally noticed that he was covered in black grime. Ignoring Yun Xi, he went directly to the bathroom in the back to bathe.

About fifteen minutes later, Wang Lanxuan returned, feeling fresh and clean.

"You look good," Yun Xi said, looking Wang Lanxuan up and down, then nodding in approval.

Wang Lanxuan performed a set of martial arts moves and said, "Indeed, it feels good."

Yun Xi hummed in agreement, then took out a booklet and handed it to Wang Lanxuan. "This is a basic cultivation manual. I am leaving it for the Wang family."

Giving it to the Wang family meant that even if Wang Lanxuan passed away in the future, the Wang family would not decline.

Wang Lanxuan paused, then reached out to take it. "If you gave this for my personal use, I would think about it. But since you are giving it to the Wang family, I will not stand on ceremony."

Yun Xi waved her hand slightly, indicating she did not mind. "There is no need to stand on ceremony with me."

Wang Lanxuan pondered for a moment. "Wangzhi, how about my eldest legitimate granddaughter becomes the wife of your younger brother?"

Wang Lanxuan’s eldest son was already married. The first child they had was a daughter, who was only six months old.

"My younger brother is already eight years old, and your granddaughter is only six months old. Do you have the face to suggest she become my brother’s wife?" Yun Xi glanced at Wang Lanxuan. "However, if they develop feelings for each other in the future, that is a different matter."

Wang Lanxuan laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Good! Then I will teach my eldest legitimate granddaughter well. If they truly have fate in the future, do not stop them."

"I will not. Our family is not like that," Yun Xi said, waving her hand indifferently. Besides, if Yun Xin really had fate with Wang Lanxuan’s eldest legitimate granddaughter, it would be pointless to stop them. Moreover, she and Wang Lanxuan could be considered friends despite the age difference, so she would naturally not interfere.

However, after returning home, Yun Xi mentioned this matter to Yun Jian and Mrs. Yu.

"I am telling you this mainly so that you do not arrange any marriage contracts for my younger brother. If he truly has fate with the Wang family in the future, it will be his blessing. Otherwise, he can marry later. For boys, it is fine to marry after the age of twenty-five."

Men never look old, especially in this world. It is common for men to marry in their twenties or thirties.
