Chapter 398: Inspection, Coquetry
The density of spiritual energy in the mortal realm was high, especially so in Jing Nation.
One of the most important factors was Gu Lan burying the Nine Heavens Earth Essence in Tianqiong Mountain, continuously stimulating it with formations. As a result, not only did the Nine Heavens Earth Essence grow larger in volume, but it could also emit astonishing spiritual energy at a fast rate.
After a simple calculation, Gu Lan estimated that it would only take a hundred years for the spiritual energy density in the mortal realm to rival some of the sparse areas in the Immortal Realm. This speed was already astonishing.
Even the strong from the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm who came down were amazed by the changes in the mortal realm every day. However, when they learned that it was Gu Lan's doing, they weren't so surprised. Over the years, they had seen too many incredible things from Gu Lan and had gradually become accustomed to it.
Originally, they thought the mortal realm was just a wild and barren place with thin spiritual energy, where at most a few good seedlings might appear. If not for Gu Lan, they would never have stayed in the mortal realm for long.
But now, everyone in Jing Nation was like a dragon, and talented cultivators emerged endlessly. Many strong figures from the Immortal and Demon realms found their ideal successors in Jing Nation, each busy teaching their disciples and completely forgetting when to return to the Upper Realms.
At the same time, many masters were busy exploring the secret realms throughout Jing Nation.
During this period, Lin Tan'er's name also became famous among the strong figures of the Upper Realms. Despite the fact that every young man in Lanyan Royal School is a talented cultivator, they are all younger brothers before Lin Tan'er.
Lin Tan'er's talent is enough to make Upper Realm Imperial Realm strong ashamed of herself.
Now, Lin Tan'er has integrated the essence of the formations and refining methods of hundreds of schools. Even without Gu Lan's guidance, he can teach those newcomers from Demon Realm and Immortal Realm alone.
A true vice-dean!
This is the terror of the daughter of fate.
High talent and rapid growth.
Even Gu Lan would be shocked.
...
Eastern Palace, Study Room.
Gu Simu was staring blankly at the wolf-hair pen.
Beside her, palace maid Sima Jingwen smiled helplessly.

She bowed her head over the desk and began to help the princess review the memorials.
Nowadays, she is already a great scholar of the court, with a calm and dignified character, appointed by the Empress to assist Little Princess.
When she heard of this appointment, she initially refused.
Because she had studied history and found that most Little Princesses were arrogant.
However.
After spending some time with Gu Simu, she fell in love with her.
After all, who could resist the innocent and romantic, and exceptionally cute little sister?
Moreover, Simu did not have any arrogance of a Little Princess, and she would hold Sima Jingwen's arm and act spoiled every day, and in a few days, she conquered the hearts of the current great scholars.
"Sister, the Eastern Palace is too boring. Shall we go out and play for a day?"
"These memorials don't need to be reviewed if they are not reviewed. After all, they will be sent to the Hall of Nurturing Harmony in the end. The mother will help me review them."
"If the mother can't review them, Grandpa Qin will help me review them."
Gu Simu hugged Sima Jingwen's arm again, and the two smart big eyes flashed, making people irresistible.
Sima Jingwen was conquered again.
Even if she knew it was not good and unreasonable.
But Sima Jingwen could not bear to refuse, fearing that her refusal would make the Little Princess sad.
She had experienced this when she was a child, and the family education of the Sima family was very strict, although her grandfather Sima Qin was very reasonable, Sima Qin paid more attention to state affairs and spent less time on these family affairs.
Therefore, Sima Jingwen has been eager for love since she was a child, and even partial.
She didn't want the Little Princess to experience the same life as herself.
"Okay."
Sima Jingwen promised that looking at Little Princess Gu Simu, she showed the kind eyes of a big sister.
The two held hands and went out of the palace to play.
Gu Simu casually took out two spirit fruits full of spiritual energy, one in her mouth and one handed to Sima Jingwen.
"Little Highness, I really can't eat this Spirit Fruit anymore."
"If I eat more, the literary qi in my body will become chaotic."
Seeing the Spirit Fruit, Sima Jingwen quickly refused.
She didn't have the physique like Little Highness, and it would take her quite some time to refine a Spirit Fruit. Eating them every day would overwhelm her dantian with true qi.
"Okay!"
Seeing Sima Jingwen refuse, Gu Simu felt a bit regretful.
Spirit Fruit was her favorite thing, and those she was willing to share it with were the closest to her.
But since Sima Jingwen couldn't eat it, she could only eat it herself.
*Chomp!*
She finished one Spirit Fruit in three bites and then started on the second one.
Just then, she saw a familiar figure in red.
"Qiqi!"
Gu Simu shouted loudly.
Gu Xiaoqi sighed helplessly and stopped in her tracks.
Nowadays, Simu had grown into a graceful young lady, not much shorter than her, which she was particularly sensitive about.
"It's Qiqi, Sister Simu!"
"Little Mumu, I'm much older than you!"
Gu Xiaoqi corrected seriously.
As a phoenix beast, she was still underage, but in terms of age, she was indeed Gu Simu's elder sister.
"Okay, Qiqi!"
"Where are you going, Qiqi?"
Gu Simu nodded eagerly and asked.
She saw that Gu Xiaoqi was preparing to leave the city and wanted to go with her.
"I'm going to inspect Underworld and Demon Realm, and I'll see how Zhe Liang is doing in Underworld, if he's been bullied."
"This is a very dangerous mission. Don't follow me, I..."
Gu Xiaoqi hadn't finished speaking when her small hand was hugged by Gu Simu.
Then, she saw a pair of watery big eyes looking pitifully at her.
This familiar feeling!
This skilled manipulation!
Gu Xiaoqi began to have a headache.
She originally thought that Gu Simu would be correcting memorials in the Eastern Palace at this time, so she deliberately left the palace, but she still encountered this little devil.
"Sister Qiqi, can you take me with you? Pretty please?"
Gu Simu skillfully shook Gu Xiaoqi's small hand and showed an innocent and lovely expression.
Usually calling herself Qiqi, now calling herself Sister Qiqi, this little devil clearly understood everything!
Gu Xiaoqi sighed helplessly and could only give in.
A match for a match.
She was usually very good at acting cute and selling her cuteness in front of her master. But facing Simu's cuteness, she couldn't resist either.
Going to Underworld and Demon Realm was a major matter, and Gu Xiaoqi dared not act on her own. She took Gu Simu and Sima Jingwen with her to report to Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan.
Throughout the process, Sima Jingwen smiled on the side without expressing any opinions.
As the great scholar assisting Little Princess, she didn't need to comment on such matters.
But thinking that Little Princess was really going to the Upper Realms, she might feel a bit reluctant.
At the same time, she was also somewhat worried.
Nowadays, Jing Nation's understanding of the Upper Realms was not unfamiliar. Many Immortal Realm Immortal Kings and Demon Realm masters frequented Jing Nation's capital city. Some liked to exaggerate and often talked about the dangerous places of the Immortal and Demon realms, describing various earth-shattering battles.
Thinking of those scenes, Sima Jingwen's worries grew stronger.
She looked at Little Princess's innocent and carefree appearance and worried that she might be bullied by people from the Upper Realms.
