After the Nüwa Temple incense ceremony ended, Ling Fan returned to his bedroom. At this time, the eunuch who passed the decree came to Ling Fan's side and said," Your Majesty, Chentang Pass Commander Li Jing is outside requesting an audience!”
"Li Jing is here?" Ling Fan perked up and sat on the mahogany table and chair.”
"Yes, sir! Summon Li Jing into the hall!"
Following the eunuch's shout, Li Jing, who was dressed in armor, walked in. He knelt on one knee and kowtowed." I, Li Jing, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"”
"Minister Li, why are you looking for me?”Ling Fan asked.
Li Jing hurriedly replied," Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured. He is now in the imperial prison, awaiting Your Majesty's punishment!"”
"Oh?" Ling Fan was shocked. It seemed that Li Jing was quite capable to become the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. He actually managed to capture the assassin. Even though the assassin was seriously injured, he had the Nine Neonate protecting him. This demon was extremely powerful.
"How did Minister Li catch the assassin? Is the assassin a woman?" Ling Fan asked.”
Li Jing was a little stunned. How could the emperor be so sure that the assassin was a woman? However, Li Jing could not answer and quickly said," Your Majesty, the assassin was a woman and was seriously injured by Your Majesty. We chased after her all the way and found that the assassin had lost too much blood and had fallen unconscious halfway. I remembered Your Majesty's words and brought the female assassin back to wait for Your Majesty to deal with her!"”
Ling Fan was slightly stunned. He didn't think that he would be able to injure the female assassin so badly with just a swing of his sword. No wonder Li Jing was able to bring her back so easily.
However, Ling Fan looked at Li Jing and could not help but think of Nezha. He asked," Oh right, Minister Li, do you have three sons? The last one is called Nezha?"”
"How did Your Majesty know that I had a third child?" Li Jing asked in shock.”
However, Li Jing opened his eyes and said with a worried expression," I've been pregnant for three years and six months. I've been worried every day. I don't know when I'll give birth. I've heard of Your Majesty's virtuous name, which is comparable to that of a saint. I actually knew in advance that I was going to name the child Nezha. Could it be that Your Majesty calculated it? Then may I ask Your Majesty, when will my child be born? Your Majesty, please give me some pointers!"
His wife was pregnant for three years and six months. Li Jing was very distressed. Although the people were afraid of his power as the commander of the army, there were always people discussing whether they were pregnant with a demon. Otherwise, who could be pregnant for three years and six months?
Li Jing drank a lot because of this. He was confused. If his wife really gave birth to a demon, what should he do? Should he kill his own child?
He knew that the emperor was not an ordinary person. Now that the emperor had asked, Li Jing's heart suddenly lit up like a lamp in the dark shadow, giving him hope that the emperor might really know something.
" Three years and six months..." Ling Fan muttered to himself. He was suddenly shocked. It was exactly three years and six months now. Wasn't it the time when Nezha was born?
When Nezha was born, Immortal Tai Yi came to Li Jing's mansion to take in disciples. If he was really taken in by Immortal Tai Yi, it would mean that Nezha would deal with him in the future!
Ling Fan's eyes twitched. Since that was the case, he would strike first. Perfected Tai Yi, hmph!
Ling Fan pretended to think about it and replied happily," Congratulations, Minister Li. Your third child, Nezha, may be born in two days. I think you will see it when you go back. Congratulations, Minister Li!"”
Li Jing was excited. Since Tian Zi said that the child would be born in two days, then it must be born. Tian Zi's name was outside, so he would not talk nonsense. He had waited bitterly for three years and six months, and he was finally going to be born!
" But…" Ling Fan saw the agitated Li Jing and deliberately paused.
Li Jing's heart skipped a beat when he heard the next sentence. He stopped smiling and asked carefully," Your Majesty, but what?" Please tell me!"
"Minister Li, do you know why your wife was pregnant for three years and six months?" Ling Fan replied.”
"I don't know, Your Majesty!" Li Jing replied uneasily.”
" That's because your wife is not carrying an ordinary baby, but a fairy baby. Your wife has been pregnant for three years and six months. When the baby is born, it will be born with a strange phenomenon. The colorful light will shine everywhere and the fragrance will spread five miles away. Most importantly, your child can run and talk as soon as he is born. He is born with infinite strength. So don't be surprised when you go back. Don't scare the child!"”
"Immortal fetus? Running and talking the moment you're born?"
Li Jing was dumbfounded. If anyone else had said this to him, he would definitely have retorted that it was a joke. Who would run away and talk when they were born? However, it was Tian Zi who had spoken. Moreover, he had said it in such detail. Li Jing couldn't help but believe it a little. His face flashed with eagerness, as if he wanted to go back and take a look now to confirm it!
Ling Fan could see Li Jing's eagerness and expressed his thoughts." Minister Li, your third child is born with a fairy fetus and is smart. I feel that your third son, Nezha, has a deep affinity with me. I want to take him as my disciple. I wonder if Minister Li is willing?"”
Li Jing was greatly surprised. The emperor actually accepted a disciple, and it was the third son he had never seen before. Could this son be as good as the emperor said?
Li Jing's heart was filled with endless joy. His son had lived up to his expectations, so as a father, he would naturally be proud, not to mention that he was the disciple of the current emperor.
Li Jing immediately replied," Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. If my third son, Nezha, is really as good as Your Majesty says, it will be my blessing and Your Majesty's blessing!"”
Ling Fan nodded as if he had thought of something. He continued," Minister Li, your third son, Nezha, was born with a celestial fetus. He is destined to be extraordinary. He will definitely attract the prying eyes and visits of some capable people from another world. Do you know what to do?"”
Li Jing was stunned. He felt that there was a hidden meaning behind Tian Zi's words. If what Tian Zi said was true, then there would definitely be someone capable coming to visit him from another world. Why didn't he think of that?
Li Jing secretly sighed at the scheming of the Emperor. He was indeed extraordinary. He had agreed to it rashly just now. Now, he felt that he was jumping into the pit of the Emperor. However, it was impossible for him to go back on his word now. However, Li Jing weighed the pros and cons. He thought that if Nezha was really that good, it would be good to follow the Emperor. At least he would gain face!
Li Jing immediately replied," Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since His Majesty Nezha, the third son, is determined to take him as his disciple, it is our Li family's blessing. We are grateful. If there are other people coming, we will naturally refuse!”
Ling Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. This Li Jing was quite a sensible person. Hmph hmph, Immortal Tai Yi, just wait to be defeated!
