Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

The footsteps came suddenly, as if they appeared out of nowhere.

Qin An slightly furrowed his brows and then looked towards the entrance of the Imperial Study.

At the entrance of the Imperial Study, a knocking sound suddenly echoed.

After the knocking sound rang out, the voice of an elderly eunuch immediately came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, this old servant has something to report."

Emperor Xuanwu tapped his fingertips on the table, paused briefly, then nodded and said, "Come in."

The elderly eunuch pushed the door open and slowly walked into the room.

Upon seeing Qin An, he slightly bowed and then said, "Greetings, Mr. Qin."

Qin An did not speak, but nodded in response.

At this moment, the sudden visit of the elderly eunuch, claiming to have something to report, made Qin An feel there might be something significant happening here.

However, since Emperor Xuanwu did not ask him to leave, he remained seated patiently.

Emperor Xuanwu raised his hand slightly and asked, "Eunuch Yang, what brings you here?"

The elderly eunuch’s surname was Yang, and he was one of the top experts in the Great Qin Country. In terms of strength, he could even be compared to Prince Zhenyuan and others.

During the battle between the Great Qin Country and the previous dynasty, the elderly eunuch fought several experts of the same level by himself, eventually becoming disabled. Not only did he have no descendants, but he also could never recover his manhood.

Yet Eunuch Yang was not discouraged. Instead, he stayed within the deep palace and became a close protector there.

He was the most intimate person to Emperor Xuanwu within the palace and also his protector.

Although Emperor Xuanwu was at the Celestial Human Realm and did not need protection, having the elderly eunuch there could avoid a lot of trouble.

Eunuch Yang slightly bent his waist, maintaining a hunched posture with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and said, "This old servant happened to overhear what Your Majesty and Mr. Qin were discussing outside. I thought this old servant could go to the Sea of Hope to share some pressure for Mr. Qin, just as a token effort."

With these words, the Imperial Study fell into silence.

After a moment, Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said, "Good."

Now, the senior officials of the Daqian Kingdom all had special arrangements, but Eunuch Yang was different.

Eunuch Yang had been a defensive presence within the deep palace, and now that most of the dangers had been eliminated, including the Demon Pseudo-Gods, remnants of the previous dynasty, and some disturbances in the Forbidden Area, everything had been mostly pacified.

Eunuch Yang, having spent so much time in the deep palace, seemed somewhat underutilized.

Now, as Eunuch Yang voluntarily proposed to go to the Sea of Hope, Emperor Xuanwu naturally agreed.

After all, having one more person was equivalent to having more strength.

If lacking one person would lead to the plan’s failure, it would be a significant loss for the Daqian Kingdom.

Qin An pondered for a moment, without speaking.

He shared the same thoughts as Emperor Xuanwu.

The Sea of Hope connected to other worlds, worlds destroyed by the Heavenly Demon, and the dangers lurking within were unknown even to Qin An.

Therefore, the more Manifest Saint Realm experts that went, the better.

With Eunuch Yang volunteering to go to the Sea of Hope, he naturally did not refuse.

"In that case, I shall prepare now and depart for the Sea of Hope tomorrow," Eunuch Yang asked, lifting his gaze.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, Eunuch Yang did not linger here anymore and turned to leave the Imperial Study.

Qin An also followed and left.

After Ynuch Yang and Qin An left, only Emperor Xuanwu remained in the Imperial Study.

Emperor Xuanwu pondered for a moment and continued to pick up the memorials to begin reviewing.

Even knowing about the Sea of Hope, he could not afford to be idle now. Every extra moment he could seize was crucial.

After all, no one knew if this journey would be smooth, nor how long it might take.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a night had quickly gone by.

That night, Qin An still rested within the Imperial Palace, only stepping outside when the sky began to light up.

First, he went to the Imperial Kitchen to have some breakfast, and then, with the token given by Emperor Xuanwu, he arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

Outside the Imperial Study were a few people, including Prince Zhenyuan and Eunuch Yang.

Aside from them, there was no one else.

Seeing this situation, Qin An slightly furrowed his brows.

According to what Emperor Xuanwu had said before, there should have been about a dozen Manifest Saint Realm experts for this trip, including those from martial world forces. These should have been Emperor Xuanwu’s strongest forces, but why were only Eunuch Yang and Prince Zhenyuan here now?

Qin An found it a bit odd, and his gaze swept over the two, noticing a hint of solemnity on their faces.

What exactly had happened?

Thinking about it, Qin An stepped forward and directly asked, "Where is everyone else?"

Just as he asked this question, the door of the Imperial Study suddenly opened, and Emperor Xuanwu came out with a somber expression.

"There has been some unexpected change. The other Manifest Saint Realm experts who were supposed to travel together were attacked yesterday, for reasons unknown, severely injured, and are now unable to go to the Sea of Hope."

They were attacked and severely injured, rendering them incapable of traveling to the Sea of Hope.

Upon hearing this explanation, Qin An furrowed his brows even tighter.

"It seems our information has been leaked, and our opponents seem to have been aware in advance."

The plan had been solidified, intending to head to the Sea of Hope to resolve matters there, yet suddenly, those who had been agreed upon were all severely injured unexpectedly, unable to travel to the Sea of Hope.

This was something worth discussing.
