38 Battle of the Tian Dynasty 2

Wu Qiming Looking at the youth in disbelief because he can't detect any spirit qi aura around this youth but this youth strength is far surpassed him. He's panicking and confusing about the situation in front of him. Didn't he eat the poison pill and died?

"Relax general Wu. I will explain this matter to you." Emperor Tian Xiang said with a smile before walking at the side of the bed.

The youth doctor withdrew his hand and using his spirit qi to draw his acupuncture needle from Wu Qiming body into his hand and wait for his father-in-law to speak.

Emperor Tian Xiang touched the youth doctor shoulder and said with a proud smile.

"This annoying brat is Zhu Wushang, Adopted son of Grand General Zhu and My proud son-in-law. He is a genius and a master of many arts including the arts of alchemy, healing, and medicine."

Zhu Wushang heard that, and he's quickly looking at his father in law in doubt.

[Is this stubborn old man praise me?] He thought.

Wu Qiming quickly gets up and salute to Zhu Wushang with a cupped hand.

"I'm The Western General Wu Qiming greets Prince consort Zhu! It's a great honor meeting you here!" Wu Qiming said in earnest, but Emperor Tian Xiang mysteriously smile.

"No, This brat is not the Prince consort, At least, Not yet, There are many geniuses in this world that more talented than this rascal and He needs to prove himself before those geniuses that he's better than them!"

Emperor Tian Xiang said while mockingly smile at Zhu Wushang that's looking at him with a confusion of this contradiction behavior of this father-in-law.

[What's gotten into this old man head? A moment ago he praised me, but now he's talking down on me? Is this old man starting to have memories deterioration symptoms?] Zhu Wushang thought to himself but if Emperor Tian Xiang know what Zhu Wushang thought he would want to strangle this son-in-law of his with his bare hands!

Wu Qiming is looking at Zhu Wushang and back at Emperor Tian Xiang and nodded in understanding. He's the most loyal general out of all the general Emperor Tian Xiang has, of course, he would trust his Emperor!

But right now Emperor Tian Xiang didn't know that he just start the most headache problem for himself in the future.

"Cough cough!" He faked his cough to dissolve this awkward atmosphere and bring the topic back.

"Wu Qiming, Right now, In the eye of those traitors you're already dead and. Those traitors would recommend one of their people to replace you at the western border once they already control at least half of empire border they would make a move. Since you already knew the structure, geography, and people who work on the western border like the back of your hand. I need you to keep an eye on them for me."

What Emperor said blew Wu Qiming mind, The Traitor? Those in the meeting room are the traitor? But there is a loophole within this plan.

"Your majesty all of them knew my face I'm afraid that I can't serve you well if…." He said until now and stop and smile brilliantly like he just thought of some good idea.

Wu Qiming quickly brings his hand to claw at his face, but his hand just stopped with an unmovable force from Zhu Wushang hand that grabs his hand before he even perceives.

"Please don't do that. I knew about this loophole at the start of the plan. That's why I create this for you."

Zhu Wushang tells him then produce the black thin leather sheet from his storage ring and place it on Wu Qiming face.

At this moment the black sheet transforms itself to match the skin tone of Wu Qiming and change itself to another shape and form, and it's changing Wu Qiming face into another person entirely.

This new face is more plain and simple like ordinary mortal or citizen that people can find at the street in everyday life. This face is not ugly but not handsome either and has no distinct feature to remember. A look that perfect for spy duty.

"Very Good brat, With this new face. Surely, No one would know who he is." Emperor Tian Xiang praise with a proud smile.

Zhu Wushang then brings out the mirror from his storage ring for Wu Qiming to looking at his face.

"Is this? Really a mask? It feels like my real face" Wu Qiming utter in disbelief while touching his own face.

Zhu Wushang smile and bring out the small round jade box and give it to Wu Qiming.

"Mask removing ointment, Nothing in this lower realm can remove your mask except this. Don't lose it; It's hard to create a new one." He urges Wu Qiming but In truth he just lazy to concoct this low-level medicine that absolutely no benefit for him or his family except for it to be used to removing this Shoggoth cell mask.

"Thank you, Sir Zhu! I'll etch your request deep within my heart!" Wu Qiming thanks Zhi Wushang in earnest.

"Before you go. Eat this" Zhu Wushang bring out the red blood pill that has a dense spiritual aura around itself.

"Celestial grade pill!!" Emperor Tian Xiang utter in shock this is a Celestial grade pill that has a spiritual aura so dense that he can actually absorb it to improve his cultivation!

"Sir Zhu! This thing is invaluable. I can't except it! I didn't even do anything worthy to receive it!" Wu Qiming politely rejects this pill while cupping his hand.

Zhu Wushang sees Wu Qiming reaction, and he smiles warmly. This western general has an honest and straightforward character which he like a lot.

"Don't say it like that General Wu. This pill will increase your strength sharply, and it will increase your success rate and survival chance on your mission. This pill is just investment from father-in-law and me to make sure that your mission is a success.

Wu Qiming herd that and he nodded in understanding.

"Then I must thank you for this opportunity!" He receives the pill and quickly put it in his mount and the pill quickly dissolve and turn in to pure energy and enter into his body to nurture all of Wu Qiming muscle, bone, spirits root and cultivation base.

Both emperor and Zhu Wushang wait for Wu Qiming to finishing the refinement of this pill power.

Sometimes has passed and Wu Qiming slowly opens his eye and saw only Emperor Tian Xiang who's waiting for him while Zhu Wushang is no longer in his sight.

Now Wu Qiming is at the Basic Grade of Ascension realm he is looking at the emperor in gratitude.

"Report to Grand General Zhu for a briefing." Emperor Tian Xiang tell Wu Qiming and walk out from the royal infirmary while Wu Qiming is kneeling and salute the emperor until the emperor leave from his sight.

He clenches his fist in determination to do this mission flawlessly to return this gratitude and leaving this royal infirmary.

Unknown to him that a shadow appears beside Wu Qiming bed. This shadow is Zhu Wushang who's used the concealing technique to check on Wu Qiming reaction and sense his true nature while no one is watching to make sure that this Wu Qiming is 100% on their side.

He nodded and smiled in satisfaction before walking out of royal infirmary to go on his journey to find the next page of Supreme Cosmic Scripture.
