Rise of the God Emperor

Happy Reading~

===========

The moment I stepped out of my room, I noticed Yunzhi turning to look at me.

I didn't know why, but I had a feeling that the reason Yunzhi was standing near my door was because she intended to wake me up.

Not that it mattered; I didn't care whether she was trying to wake me up or not.

In the end, the fact that Yunzhi was Su Ling'er's personal maid couldn't be denied.

Because of that alone, I knew that to Yunzhi, I was the young master she had to serve.

Without thinking much about it, I greeted the woman in front of me.

"Good morning. What are you doing?"

"Nothing. I thought you weren't awake, so I planned to wake you up early."

"I see. Thank you, but you don't need to wake me up again. I have other matters to attend to."

In less than a few seconds, I was already walking away from Yunzhi.

As soon as I reached the stairs to the first floor, I saw several servants greeting me.

"Good morning, young master."

"Good morning, sir."

"Yes, good morning to you all as well," I replied, showing a smile without hesitation.

I had to admit, I knew the expression I wore left quite an impression on them.

Just look—many of them were stunned by the handsomeness of my face.

But I didn't mind; I was eager to meet my parents.

As I walked into the guest room, I saw a man sitting on the sofa.

Indeed, this man was none other than Su Han.

"Father, I want to talk to you about something. Will you hear my request?"

"What is it? Just tell your father. You can be sure I won't refuse your wish."

Without delay, I took a deep breath.

And then, I showed a serious expression on my face.

"Father, please allow me to live in Wuzhou City. I've decided I want to start a business there. I hope you'll permit it."

"A business? Why? What about your education?" For a moment, Su Han's expression turned sharp.

At that moment, I knew it was unlikely I'd get his permission.

Unfortunately, just as I thought my request would be rejected, I heard something completely unexpected—something I never imagined.

"Very well. I can see you've made up your mind. But I don't want you to abandon your education. I hope you understand."

"Really? Thank you, Father! I promise I won't disappoint you."

"…"

Unexpectedly, a faint smile appeared on Su Han's lips.

'This child… Has he changed? How strange… I never thought he'd consider starting a business. Let me see what your plan is, son. Show your father you're ready to face the world.'

Time passed, and I had finally returned to Wuzhou City.

Deep down, I was glad Su Han had allowed me to live alone in Wuzhou.

At first, he offered to assign a few servants to accompany me.

But I refused, knowing what that man had in mind.

Even though it wasn't a bad idea, I didn't want anyone else seeing my plans.

After all, the fact that I didn't trust Su Ling'er's parents couldn't be denied.

'Right… What about Su Ling'er's mother? I thought she wouldn't allow me to leave? I hope that old man can keep her at bay,' I thought, praying Su Han could handle his wife.

If he couldn't restrain her, I wasn't sure whether I'd have to return again or not.

"Mister Hao, sorry to keep you waiting! I sincerely apologize for my earlier behavior."

Without delay, I turned to the woman running toward me.

Judging from her appearance, I knew she was none other than the old man's niece.

"You are… What's your name?"

"Oh, I forgot. My name is Xin Jia'er. I'm from the Xin family, one of the medicine producers in China."

"Xin Jia'er… Alright. You're not bad. Why don't we have a chat? I want us to work together."

Unconsciously, I noticed the woman in front of me showing a hopeful expression.

Sure enough, it wasn't unlikely that she already understood my intention.

And just as expected, what she was thinking turned out to be true.

"I want you to craft pills and sell them around the world. As for the profit split, I want to take 50%."

"Are you serious?! I'm so happy to work with you!"

Without wasting time, I pulled out a few pill recipes from one of my garments.

Looking at them, I knew they were low-grade formulas.

From the start, I had no intention of giving out high-level recipes to the world.

On the contrary, I absolutely didn't want to draw the attention of experts beyond the Nascent Soul Realm.

Besides, I knew that finding an alchemist was one of the hardest things in the mortal world.

Moreover, only one in thousands of alchemists could successfully craft high-tier pills.

Because of this, I didn't think it was necessary to flaunt my skills in crafting mid- to high-grade pills.

"This… This is amazing. You're truly a master alchemist. Your handwriting is incredible."

"Alright. With that, am I allowed to visit your family's estate?"

"Of course. You've already caught my family's attention. I'm sure they won't reject your presence."

Soon after, I entered Xin Jia'er's vehicle without hesitation.

For now, my goal was to evaluate the people in the Xin family.

If I sensed they were scumbags, I definitely wouldn't trust them.

Brung!-

Half an hour passed, and I was now standing before an ancient residence.

Though it was old, I could tell the estate before me didn't look bad at all.

"Please come in. The Xin family has been waiting for you."

Finally, after walking through the Xin family's gate, I caught the scent of herbs—something that piqued my interest.

'So… Is this where the old man got the ingredients for the Soulbirth Pill? Fascinating.' I thought, suspecting that this was where the Xin family obtained the herbs I was after.

Judging from the situation, I knew their courtyard wasn't just an ordinary one.

On the contrary, the plants growing there were some of the rarest.

But I couldn't figure out how they managed to cultivate plants that had lived for hundreds of years.

Still, deep in my heart, I knew it would be impolite to question Xin Jia'er about it.

Maybe that's why I chose to stay silent.

step- step- step-

Suddenly, I saw an old man standing right at the entrance of the Xin family estate.

"Greetings, Grandfather. I've brought the young man I mentioned."

"Good job. He does look just as you described. Very well… You may enter."

"Understood."

For some reason, I felt a strange vibe from the old man's gaze.

I didn't know why, but I sensed this wasn't just an ordinary old man.

From my perspective, I could tell his gaze was one of judgment.

'Is he evaluating me? I think so. What an interesting family. I didn't expect to find someone like him in the mortal world.'

After taking a few steps, I was given a seat in the Xin family's guest room.

At first, I was curious about the person behind the old man in front of me.

But after checking their bloodline connection, I assumed he was this old man's son.
