CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 332: DAO REALM 5TH LAYER_4

"It’s nothing."

Qin Ying shook her head and instead offered congratulations, "The Grand Commander’s skills have advanced again; you must be close to reaching the sixth level, correct?"

The sixth level of the Dao Realm, that is the pinnacle of combat power in Great Yu.

"The sixth level is not so easily attained."

Jing Shishu smiled, but his eyes were filled with hope—after all, it was the sixth level!

"However, with the Grand Commander’s talent, reaching the sixth level is only a matter of time."

"Haha... I’ll accept the good wishes of the Princess."

Jing Shishu laughed heartily.

Of course, he was well aware that for someone of Qin Ying’s status as a princess to say such things was all for... the Fourth Prince.

Yet... without clear information, he wouldn’t take sides.

Not just him, but the Dragon Guard as well.

Unless ordered by Emperor Yu.

"So what does the Princess plan to do now?"

Jing Shishu posed the question to Qin Hong, for this time, it was led by him.

"I suspect that during the September Festival, the Demon Realm will take action, but the entrance requires expert support, so... I’ll take some people to the entrance, and I’ll leave this side to the Grand Commander."

Facing Jing Shishu, Qin Hong did not refer to himself as a prince.

This was enough to show his respect.

Hearing this, Jing Shishu also nodded in agreement, "That would be best, and over there requires the treasure of Emperor Yu."

This treasure of Emperor Yu can only be used by a prince.

Even he cannot use it.

Such arrangements are reasonable, "Thus, the Princess should take everyone with you, and I will stay here alone."

In saying this, he displayed confidence in his own strength.

With the fifth level of the Dao Realm and his own hidden cards, he could even contend with someone of the sixth level.

"Will that be enough manpower?"

Qin Hong asked with some concern.

"Isn’t he still here? And Gu Yun as well, that’s about enough!"

Jing Shishu seemed very assured.

"Is he really that strong?"

Qin Hong was somewhat surprised, not doubting Jing Shishu’s insight.

It’s just...

The Dao Realm, can it really be that strong without having entered the Boneyard?

"If the Prince trusts my judgment, you might try to engage him more."

These words served as a reminder to Qin Hong.

And as confirmation, during this period, [he] has shown considerable respect, so it’s a bit of advice.

"Thank you, Grand Commander."

Though internally quite shocked, he quickly stood up and offered a slight bow.

To have a prince of Great Yu take the initiative to bow is a source of great honor.

"Guards!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The response came from the guards outside; these were Qin Hong’s personal guards.

"The room for the Grand Commander is ready; I entrust the Nine Immortals Tower to you."

"Your Highness exaggerates, this is merely the duty of a humble servant."

After a slight bow, Jing Shishu left the room.

Now only the siblings were left.

"Is he really that strong?"

Qin Hong asked her.

"Probably, the Grand Commander’s judgment won’t be wrong."

As for how strong Chen Xuan truly was, she didn’t know either.

But she believed that Jing Shishu wouldn’t be mistaken.

"You have a good relationship with him; after this matter is over, ask him if he has any intention of going to the Imperial City. He can set his own terms, and I still have a spot for the Boneyard."

The princes of Great Yu are no simple individuals.

Especially the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince, who have the most experts supporting them.

He and the Fifth Prince are more or less the same.

To vie for that position without experts is impossible, and it requires the very best experts.

From the moment Jing Shishu mentioned this, he already started to consider recruiting Chen Xuan.

"I’ll ask him later."

Qin Ying did not refuse, after all, he was her own brother; she would certainly help if she could.

But judging by her understanding of Chen Xuan, this matter... seems difficult!
