Chapter 6 CHAPTER 5 : Joey's Elder Sister
The female advisor quickly followed the princess and said, " Princess Mei lien, a courier comes from prime minister Yi Yin. " And she brought out a piece of paper.
Princess Tang Mei lien quickly snatched the piece of paper and read the detail on the paper.
" Princess, don't return to the palace yet. I, Yi Yin, your big brother, will take care of all the messes here in the palace. Moreover, we have two options to save the 5th prince's future. Firstly, our choice is to send him to one of the peaceful neighboring nations as an ambassador, while the other is to send him to the northern front to learn the military.
Moreover, our master is arriving soon in the Tang nation. So be prepared for your test.
With regard, Yi Yin."
Mie lien put down the letter and looked toward her advisor. " Cong'er, you read it too ." She also knew the underlying meaning of the letter as Joey's predecessor was so poor in cultivation that he will become collateral for dirty palace politics, so he had only two future options according to Prime minister Yi Yin.
Zhang Cong took the piece of paper and read it carefully.
" What do you think ? " asked Mie lien
" Your highness, sending the 5th prince to another country is not a good option for now. He will be bullied there. And bringing him here will be good for both you and him . " replied Cong'er. It was resonable as he had poor cultivation.
" Exactly, actually, I am keeping him there to accompany our mother. Now I will send an official request to my father to bring him here," said Mie lien.

Tang palace
Meanwhile, after several hours, Joey woke up again and walked toward the washroom to take a bath. While bathing, he checked his body, aware that his body strength had doubled while his hearing and vision became more enhanced, so he became more excited.
After refreshing his body, he came out in his bathing robe. A maid ( a middle-aged woman ) came before his room holding a plate containing a robe with her two hands.
" Your highness, may I come in ? " asked the middle-aged woman.
" Aunt Bai, please come in," replied Joey.
Aunt Bai came before him and presented the plate. Joey looked at the colorful rope, and it was not to his liking. The color and design of the dress were too much for his taste.
" Aunt Bai, can you rather bring a simple white robe for me ?"
" Yes, your highness. I will bring it immediately. " Then she rushed off quickly and brought a simple white dress. After giving him the dress, she left for him to change and stood before the door.
After donning his dress, Joey came out of his chamber and met the maid there.
" Aunt Bai, if my mother happens to come here, tell her that I have recovered from my injuries and not to worry about my health anymore. Moreover, tell her that I will be staying in the palace library hall for a while," Joey said and left his chamber.
Joey followed the path to the palace library hall according to the memory of his predecessor. He could see that the whole palace and surroundings were well mechanically structured, using some weird building material.
After walking for half an hour, he stood before a five-story tower with a name tag in the entrance " PALACE LIBRARY. " Two royal guards stood before the entrance.
Joey approached the entrance.
" Your highness ." Seeing him coming, the two guards bowed slightly and saluted him, but they both had a disdainful smirk on their faces. Because of Joey's enhanced vision, he could easily see their mocking expression.
Joey just nodded to them and entered the library. Inside the palace library, he was greeted by an honest-looking short fatty.
" Hahaha ... your highness, today is my lucky day to be visited by the 5th prince here personally. Tell me everything. I, Dong Wei, will be in your service. "
Joey could see that Dong Wei was genuinely excited to meet him today and honest with his greeting, even though he seemed clumsy. So he, too, nodded and smiled honestly toward him and waved his hand to stand up.
" Librarian Dong, I would like to read books regarding history and geography. Can you guide me there? "
" Oh, history and geography! They were on the 2nd floor. Your highness, please, follow me ."
p
" There, your highness. Please take a seat here in V.I.P.S. room. I will bring all the books here. " Then he rushed towards the room and collected all the books with five of his workers while scolding them to collect the books with haste.
The group of six returned with a bundle of books and placed them at the large table before him. Joey just took a book randomly and started reading it. To his surprise, he could easily memorize with just a peek at the book's content and analyze it quickly in his mind at the same time. He knew that it should be something to do with his new purple golden soul ball.
Joey started flipping the pages one by one and completed reading the book in a few minutes. Seeing him reading like that, librarian Dong believed that the prince was just searching for something and not reading at all. But he still kept his mouth shut and looked earnestly at Joey's action.
It almost took around two hours for Joey to read all the books. His knowledge about this new strange place became more enriched, and he stood up.
" Sir Dong, thanks for your service. I will often visit you here if possible ." He smiled and politely clasped his hands and excused himself.
" Hahaha... It is my pleasure. Don't be so polite to me, your highness," Dong said and followed behind him.
After leaving the palace library, Joey returned to his place. Once he entered his room, he could see his mother and aunt Bai (maid ) chatting like an old friend while holding their hands.
When they saw him entering, his mother Menglou smiled and said, " You damn brat, where have you gone to instead of tending to your injuries? "
" Mom, stop nagging me. I am completely healthy now. " Joey replied in a soft-voiced.
" Your elder sister send me a message to bring you there this time. You will be staying with your sister from now on. " She said. But reluctance could be seen in her eyes.
" No, I will stay with you, mom ."
" You stinking brat, you are already 12 years old and still sticking to me. You must go, otherwise, your elder sister will come here and spank your butt. Moreover, you don't need to care for me. " She said.
Afterward, they left his room and told him to stop doing any stupid things anymore.
Alone in his room, he thought, " It is too calm here in this place for me. I think going to the border was also going to be a good chance for me to challenge a strong cultivator. At the same time, to temper my body, I need more training, which is best in the army ."
Then he sat cross-legged and started to cultivate again. He started using his soul force again to recite the mantra.
" ISH ISH ISH ISH " but he couldn't continue the following syllable, so he just recited the first syllable multiple times while his body started to fill with essence qi and moved toward his blood vessels.
After several tries, he recited the word " ISH-WAR" once more. Then he fainted again.
