Book 11. Chapter 62. To Endure
Qin Dynasty, within the Imperial Palace.
In the rear botanic gardens, the Qin Dynasty’s Emperor – ‘Qin Zheng’ sat beside a moderately large pond. He wore a golden yellow royal gown, in his hand he held a fishing rod. At close examination, you could notice his hand was very stead, there was the slightest tremble.
After a long time…..
The surface of the pond nearest to the fishing line rippled, and you could see Qin Zheng’s face light up with a small smile. With a precise jerk, the submerged line and fish, all flew up above the water surface. With a finger, Qin Zheng sent a ray of Xiantian internal energy to wrap around the magnificent carp he caught, which sent it into a flax basket by his left side.
With his Xiantian energy, he remove the hook from the carp’s mouth and toss it back into the pond.
Qin Zheng’s personal eunuch stood a fair bit away, he dare not stay too close in case he would disturb the Emperor.
Suddenly –––––––
A call from came from afar, “Your majesty, your majesty.” A mature female palace servant ran over excitedly.
Qin Zheng frowned, but nevertheless, he stood up and retrieve the hook and put the fishing rod beside him.
