"Anan, before answering the question of whether there are immortals behind me, let me ask you first. What are immortals?”
Ying Hong stopped walking and rubbed An 'an's head lovingly, with a smile in his eyes.
"Immortals are…Immortals were immortals!
Immortals could live forever, fly in the sky, and escape the earth. They were omnipotent.”
An 'an was only one year younger than Ying Hong, but she was sent to the palace very early. She was simple-minded and no different from other little girls except for her ability to serve people.
She racked her brains to think of the concept of immortals in her memory, and tried her best to answer Ying Hong's question.
"Then let me ask you again. What is it before an immortal becomes an immortal? Human? Animals and plants? Or is it a lifeless object?"
Ying Hong didn't comment on An 'an's answer. Instead, he asked another question.
"What is it before immortals become immortals?"
An An stared at him with her big, watery eyes, frowning as she thought seriously.
After a while, she gave up in frustration." An 'an doesn't know…"
"Hahaha, look, you don't know, and neither do I.
Since no one knew, how could they judge that an immortal was an immortal?
What kind of standard was used to measure whether he was a god or not?”
An An pouted and shook her head vigorously, which made Ying Hong burst into laughter.
He pinched An 'an's cheeks and glanced at the corner of the courtyard. Then, he asked two more questions.
An An was speechless.
"I've said so much because Young Master wants to tell you that humans and Immortals are no longer the same species. We always measure Immortals with the way humans think.
Just like you said, immortals are omnipotent and immortal. If this immortal is invisible, can he still be an immortal?
Do you understand?"
Ying Hong didn't say that without thinking. He just remembered the system.
If immortals were synonymous with omnipotent, then the system was an immortal in a sense!
But the system? Ying Hong didn't know.
"I don't understand!"
After hearing what Ying Hong had said, An An was completely confused. She shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"You don't understand? If you don't understand, think about it. When you understand, tell me.”
Ying Hong smiled and started walking again, not saying anything more to An 'an.
......
"Sir, do you understand?"
In a hidden corner of the courtyard, it was still the Shadow Guard with Zhang Han standing beside him.
Yesterday, not long after Ying Hong returned to Ze Tai Palace, Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guards were ordered to continue their investigation.
When they heard An 'an's question, they immediately perked up and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Ying Hong had to say.
Therefore, after Ying Hong finished speaking, the Shadow Secret Guard asked subconsciously,"
Regardless of whether the others understood it or not, he did not understand it at all.
Most importantly, not only did he not understand, he was even more confused.
Thus, the Shadow Secret Guards placed their hopes on Zhang Han.
Zhang Han was speechless.
If Zhang Han knew how to speak the catchphrases from 2,000 years later, he would definitely say," I don't know anything!"
Gong Zi Hong had said so much, but in the end, he didn't say if there were immortals.
If it wasn't for His Majesty's order for him to investigate in secret, Zhang Han would have rushed out and asked Ying Hong about it.
You can't bully an uncultured person like this!
"Boss?"
Without waiting for Zhang Han to respond, the Shadow Secret Guard shouted at Zhang Han again.
"Bastard! I didn't ask you to come here to supervise Young Master Hong, I didn't ask you to question me.
Watch carefully, I will report what Gong Zi Hong said to His Majesty.”
Zhang Han, who couldn't answer, glared at his subordinate angrily and quickly left the courtyard.
"Sigh, Lord Zhang Han's temper is getting bigger and bigger, the work of the Shadow Secret Guards is getting harder and harder!”
After being reprimanded by Zhang Han, the Shadow Secret Guard pursed his lips and sighed with grievance.
"I think so too. Why don't you consider changing your job?”
A mocking voice suddenly rang out in his ear, scaring the Shadow Secret Guard into retreating far away.
When he calmed down and saw the face of the person, he immediately smiled bitterly.
"Shadow Secret Guard Natu greets Gongzi Hong!”
Since he had already been discovered, the secret guard named Na Tu was straightforward and directly revealed his identity.
"The Shadow Secret Guards are like maggots clinging to bones, following like shadows, as if the king had come personally.
Not bad, not bad at all!"
Ying Hong waved his hand and smilingly looked at the Shadow Secret Guard in front of him, who was wearing a black robe and a black scarf. Then, he casually told him what the world thought of the Shadow Secret Guard.
"Did Imperial Father send you here?"
Ying Hong asked the obvious question, but he didn't look angry at all after knowing that he was being watched.
Na Tu didn't answer Ying Hong's question. He responded to Ying Hong with silence.
In the entire Great Qin Empire, apart from the Great Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, there was no one else who could command the Shadow Secret Guards.
However, this was not the reason why he had to answer Ying Hong's question.
Ying Hong had found out about it, so he had bowed to Ying Hong and introduced himself. That was because Ying Hong was a young master, the son of His Majesty.
But, answering Ying Hong's question wasn't their job.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore.
Didn't you just say that the work of the Shadow Secret Guards was not easy? I happen to know of a job with a bright future. Are you interested in learning about it?”
In Xianyang City, the people that Ying Hong wanted to recruit into his army the most were definitely the Shadow Secret Guards.
Therefore, in a moment of eagerness, Ying Hong had the idea of stealing the corner of his cheap father, Ying Zheng.
“... Gongzi Hong, please spare that Tu. I was just saying it casually, I can't take it seriously.”
He was on the verge of tears. If Lord Zhang Han heard this, he would be skinned alive!
