Chapter 990 - 993: Here to Cause Trouble, Aren’t You?
Shen Wu was arranged to stay in the palace, and the next day, the Empress’s emotions stabilized, accepting the fact that her master had reincarnated.
She summoned Shen Wu again, with the Emperor and the Crown Prince accompanying her.
"Shen Wu, now that I see you again, I definitely won’t let you leave us. I’ve thought about it, and decided to buy you a residence in the Capital City, and send some people to serve you. How about that?" The Empress said to him kindly.
Shen Wu dismissively replied, "Empress, this commoner does not wish to live off others, I want to make a living with my own skills."
The Empress was momentarily speechless, her expression somewhat awkward.
She underestimated him...
Then, Shen Wu calmly added, "This commoner previously served as the State Preceptor of a country. Over the years, I’ve learned some skills, and I think there are few people in this country who can surpass me. Therefore, this commoner has decided to inherit my master’s legacy, and I hope the Emperor and Empress will allow it."
Inherit the master’s legacy? Doesn’t that mean becoming the State Preceptor?
A flicker of surprise flashed in the Empress’s eyes; she truly underestimated him...
The Emperor sneered, "State Preceptor? Someone who deceives the masses with falsehoods; my Great Nan Dynasty doesn’t need such a deceiver!"
