Upon hearing this, Minister Wen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"That's good. After all, the resources in the Holy Mountain are much better than here. Even the entire Ten Kingdoms probably can't produce anything of that quality. It's a good idea for you to go. However, there are many geniuses there, so you must keep a low profile when you go."
"After all, with your vengeful nature, you'd be a problem over there."
"Yes, I will. When does the imperial examination for the Juren degree begin?"
With a slight frown, Ye Ru spoke slowly.
"The time is fast approaching, but are you sure you want to take the imperial examination this year?"
Wen Xiang raised an eyebrow and asked.
Taking three exams in one year is physically and mentally exhausting, not to mention that it takes many students three years to pass just the preliminary examination.
The preparations required for a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examinations) are far more complex than those required for a Tongsheng (a student who has completed the county-level imperial examinations).
"Now that all the Imperial Guards have been mobilized, let's go too."
Ye Ru looked at Wen Xiang and said something, then took the lead and walked away into the distance. Wen Xiang, who was behind, stared at Ye Ru's back for a while before catching up.
After Ye Ru returned, Long Hai had been waiting at his residence for quite some time.
"Senior Longhai, what's wrong?"
Ye Ru asked.
"Um……"
Long Hai pondered for a moment, then continued:
"Young Dragon Lord, do you still remember the Dragon Gathering I mentioned before? Just now, someone from the clan told me that the Dragon Gathering of the Four Seas Dragon Clan is about to begin. Our East Sea Dragon Clan is currently weak, so I would like to ask you to help our East Sea Dragon Clan participate in this Dragon Gathering on our behalf."
Long Hai looked at Ye Ru with a solemn expression and said.
These words reminded Ye Ru of something the Dragon Princess had said before. The East Sea Dragon Clan had been very powerful at the literary gathering, but now it seemed that the East Sea Dragon Clan had indeed lost its momentum.
"I've heard about these things before. When will the Dragon Society start?"
Ye Ru nodded, then continued.
"It will begin in three days. I wonder if Young Dragon Lord will be able to attend."
Long Hai said cautiously.
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
After pondering for a moment, he decided that he would hand over the military tally to the imperial court three days later, and then he would be free to go.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to pick you up in three days."
Long Hai nodded, feeling relieved. He then clasped his hands in a fist salute before leaving.
Watching Long Hai leave, Ye Ru closed the door, then took out a book and began to read.
We must be prepared for the Left Prime Minister's moves for the next three days; the other side won't give up so easily.
"Phew, this Left Prime Minister is a ticking time bomb."
Ye Ru rubbed his temples and sighed.
Another night passed, and the Imperial Guards returned to the palace one after another. After reporting to Ye Ru, they went about their respective duties.
However, this peaceful atmosphere did not last long; that night, the entire palace descended into chaos.
"what happened?"
Ye Ru also heard the commotion and quickly pushed open the door. Inside the inner palace, flames were rising everywhere. These flames were not ordinary flames, giving people an extremely eerie feeling.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed towards the inner palace.
At this moment, Wen Xiang and the others were all there. They looked anxious and kept pouring water at the flames. However, when the water came into contact with the flames, it not only failed to extinguish them, but instead fueled the spread of the fire.
"What kind of flame is this? It can't be extinguished by water!"
Seeing this, Wen Xiang's face also turned ugly. Then, he stomped his foot, and a poem was completed in an instant. A flood suddenly descended from the sky and finally completely engulfed the flames.
Although this poem cannot completely extinguish the flames, it has at least managed to bring them under control.
"Lord Wenxiang, are you alright?"
Looking at the flames engulfed by the flood, Ye Ru stepped forward and said with a solemn expression.
These flames are clearly the Netherfire of the demon race.
How outrageous! The palace has actually been infiltrated by the demon race.
"It's alright, the fire is under control now. The entire army is searching for the culprit with all its might. If caught, he will be severely punished!"
Prime Minister Wen also seemed to be in a bad mood, but anyone would be angry in this situation, and even Prime Minister Wen was no exception.
Moreover, this was too much of a coincidence. They deliberately chose to strike when the Imperial Guards were not around, which was undoubtedly an attempt to give them a warning.
"Do you know what kind of flame this is? Even War Poetry can't extinguish it."
Then Wen Xiang looked at Ye Rudao.
"This is probably Netherfire, the Netherfire of the demon race, but I should have a way to deal with it."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Ru flipped his hand and took out the Three Perfections Literary Brush.
"This is?"
'If this really is hellfire, then perhaps I can find a way.'
Ye Ru nodded, then stomped his foot, his entire body shooting towards the flames, finally disappearing into them.
"careful!"
Upon seeing this, Wen Xiang's expression changed, and he called out. However, after he finished speaking, his expression froze.
Because the flames then rapidly diminished at a visible rate, eventually disappearing completely from the spot.
As the flames disappeared, Ye Ru gradually revealed his figure.
Ye Ru was extremely satisfied with this gain. His Three Absolute Literary Heart Brush had absorbed so much Netherfire, which would be a considerable trump card in future battles.
"This pen is so strange! It can actually absorb this Netherfire?"
Upon seeing Ye Ru emerge, Wen Xiang stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration.
He knew about this Netherfire; it had always been a treasure of the demon race. Although it could regenerate, for lower-level demons, it was nothing short of a powerful magical artifact.
Such a massive amount of Netherfire was completely absorbed by Ye Ru in just a few seconds.
This pen doesn't look like an ordinary object.
'If it were any other kind of Netherfire, this pen wouldn't be up to the task, but this Netherfire is more than enough.'
Ye Ru twirled the pen and smiled.
"Now that this matter is resolved, let's go and catch the arsonist. I believe he is still inside the palace."
Nodding, Wen Xiang's eyes suddenly turned cold. Finally, he looked up at other places, clenched his fists, and said:
"Since you've come to my palace to cause trouble, then you'll have to pay the price with your life."
"Minister Wen, please go and check if His Majesty is alright. I'm worried this might be a feint by the enemy."
As if remembering something, Ye Ru's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly said.
