Chapter 330: Give Way? (2)

Between the two, Su Jingxing was second.

He had to be prepared to let the “thread” of national fate touch him.

Only when the prerequisites were prepared would the “thread” of national fate come knocking on his door.

Then what was the prerequisite?

Su Jingxing thought for two days and made a guess.

This guess needed to be verified.

It needed to be verified using detailed information.

Where could he find such information?

The Xuantian University Library!

Hence.

Su Jingxing’s main body did not move. The Essence Soul guarding the Void World left behind its divine weapon, the Wandering Dragon Saber, and descended from the Void World.

It happened to be night. Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul in the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor landed on the top level of Xuantian University Library in its illusory state.

With no one able to see it, it used its semi x-ray vision on the ancient manuals one by one.

Under the Essence Soul’s vision, the contents of the ancient manuals appeared clearly.

Su Jingxing scanned through them quickly.

One book after another, one row of bookshelf after another.

After almost two hours, he finally found the information he wanted.

The introduction of fate, the general trends of a dynasty, and conjectures of the relationship between a nation’s fate and its citizens.

That’s right. The information he found was not 100% certain. There were only conjectures that were deduced through various theories and imagination.

That was, ordinary citizens would not affect the fate of the nation. Slightly, if were tens of thousands of them, and only more tangible if there were millions of them.

This was for ordinary citizens. If it was an official, things would be different.

According to the records, all righteous officials in a dynasty would be enveloped by the fate of the nation.

The higher the position, the greater the fate the nation they were shrouded in.

As it was a pa.s.sive envelopment, the transfer of positions would not affect anything.

Only when there was someone in that position would the fate of the nation touch him.

This was very compatible with the cultivation conditions of the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book.

Why was it that only the emperor could cultivate the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book?

It was because the emperor was the most blessed by the nation’s fate!

In ancient times, every emperor’s death would cause a commotion.

The difference was that sometimes, the commotion would be smaller, and sometimes, it would be bigger. The biggest was with the change of dynasty.

As the dynasty changed, the fate of the nation would naturally change.

During this change, the Martial Sage did not have much to do with it.

Not every Martial Sage came from the imperial family.

As far as Su Jingxing knew, the Gong Junlian, the Martial Sage of the Jing nation whom he had just met, had nothing to do with the Jing Nation’s imperial family.

Su Jingxing and the Xia Family were absolutely unrelated too.

If this was the ancient times, if someone wanted to usurp the throne and change the emperor, as long as they convinced Su Jingxing, he wouldn’t interfere.

What he wanted was to ensure the safety of the citizens.

If an emperor was muddle-headed and immoral, causing the people to suffer,

no one would have to seize the throne. Su Jingxing would make the first move and kill the emperor.

It was just an emperor. If this one was no good, I’ll use another.

As such, the change in the fate of the nation had little to do with the individual.

Looking at the conditions to cultivate the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book, the emperor was merely the most suitable person.

However, the officials below could also cultivate!

That was Su Jingxing’s guess.

With the bold deduction from the information of his predecessors, Su Jingxing was even more confident in this guess.

To see whether it could be realized and check on its legitimacy, he just had to become an official.

There was no need for him to be a high-ranking official, but he had to be righteous and have close ties with the dynasty.

Su Jingxing had the Martial Arts Practice Card. Once he became a minor official, as long as he could connect with the nation’s fate, he would be able to cultivate the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book.

Therefore, he had to get himself a small position.

His current position as vice-captain of the security team was clearly a no go.

Deputy director would probably do.

The crematorium was not important in ancient times, or even nonexistent, but in today’s world, no country could do without it.

If he became the deputy director of the crematorium, he should be able to satisfy the cultivation conditions.

…

He made a decision.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul returned to the Void World and continued to guard it.

At dawn, his main body returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in Qinghe City.

After washing up at home, he changed into clean clothes and went to the crematorium canteen for a meal.

After that, he headed straight to Director Wu Shouhan’s office.

“Hey, Little Su, what’s the matter today?” Wu Shouhan surveyed Su Jingxing with a smile.

Wu Shouhan was more or less concerned about Su Jingxing’s long absence.

It wasn’t that he was afraid that Su Jingxing had escaped, but more that he had died outside.

The fights between martial artists would never stop.

“Please excuse me, Uncle Wu.”

Su Jingxing grinned. “I’ve been too busy cultivating to manage things at the crematorium.”

“It’s fine.” Wu Shouhan waved his hand. “Like I said, focus on yourself, so do that. Compared to your strength, the crematorium is not important.”

“But, since you’re here today, could it be…”

“Yes, Uncle Wu. I succeeded. I broke through to the seventh-grade!” Su Jingxing said “excitedly”.

“What?”

Wu Shouhan suddenly stood up. His eyes widened as he looked at Su Jingxing in surprise and excitement. “Little Su, are you serious? You’re really in the seventh-grade now?”

“Yes, I just broke through to the seventh-grade. If you don’t believe me, Uncle Wu, I’ll show you.”

A seventh-grade martial artist had 10,000 catties of strength. He gathered his internal force and opened his dantian.

Wu Shouhan could not sense the opening of his dantian, but his strength could be seen through the Strength Measuring Device.

Su Jingxing controlled his strength and punched the device twice.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The numbers on the dial of the device flashed quickly. When it finally stopped, the number measuring strength appeared.

It was really above 10,000 catties!

“Hahaha…”

Wu Shouhan immediately laughed out loud. “Good, good, great! Little Su, you’re amazing!”

A seventh-grade martial artist. A seventh-grade martial artist actually came from a place like the crematorium.

This was truly unbelievable.

As someone from the crematorium, there was no need to mention the excitement and agitation in Wu Shouhan’s heart.

After a long while, Wu Shouhan exhaled and took deep breaths, barely calming himself down.

Su Jingxing waited for him to regain his composure before saying, “Uncle Wu, I’m in the seventh-grade now. Can I be promoted to be a deputy director?”

???

Wu Shouhan looked confused.

Su Jingxing was also a little embarra.s.sed. This was indeed inappropriate. Who would request for a promotion right after a breakthrough?

Though, there was nothing wrong with that, official positions were related to martial arts realms.

It was not as clear in ancient times, but which of the big shots in the modern cabinet weren’t in the top ranks?

Without entering the third-grade, they could get a.s.sa.s.sinated very easily.

But there was nothing he could do.

In order to cultivate the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book, Su Jingxing had shamelessly made his request.

At most, he would resign once the test failed.

“Cough cough!”

Wu Shouhan coughed and came back to his senses. He sized up Su Jingxing strangely. “Um, Little Su, it’s not that I’m not willing to promote you, but the crematorium doesn’t have a deputy position.”

“Huh?” Su Jingxing was surprised. “There isn’t a deputy director position in the crematorium?”

“No.” Wu Shouhan shook his head. “As you know, although the crematorium is very important and indispensable everywhere, this place has never been sought after, and few people will fight to come here. If not for the fact that they have no choice, who would be willing to deal with the dead?”

Although these words were not absolute, they were true.

Su Jingxing nodded in understanding.

“Therefore, the director of the crematorium only had two a.s.sistants a.s.signed to him at the beginning. After things slowly stabilized, the a.s.sistants were removed.

“As for the managers and captains below, they’re not important. The director was the one to make arrangements,” explained Wu Shouhan. “Over the years, a mature system has been formed.”

“I see.” Su Jingxing sighed.

“However, Little Su, if you’d like to be the director, I can give you my position.” Seeing this, Wu Shouhan beamed with joy. “I could have retired long ago, but I was bored at home, so I came back and continued taking on this position…”

“No, no, there’s really no need for that.” Su Jingxing quickly declined.

He wanted to be a deputy director, an insignificant official. It was to cultivate the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book, not really for the crematorium.

Not to mention s.n.a.t.c.hing Wu Shouhan’s position.

Even though Wu Shouhan was more than willing for that to happen.

“Are you sure”

asked Wu Shouhan again.

“Yes”

Su Jingxing was speechless. “I just… just…”

He opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say, so he shut up.

“Uncle Wu, you’re busy. I have something on, I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Su Jingxing turned around and left.

“Wait!”

Wu Shouhan called out from behind, “Little Su, wait. Although I don’t know what problem you’ve encountered, if you want to get an official position, there’s another position other than the director’s position. It’s very suitable for you!”

“Really?”

Su Jingxing turned around and asked happily, “What position?”
