Chapter 830: Chapter 750: Great Yu Country (2)

At least by coming here for a look, this place counts as vast and rich, abundant in resources.

After reading through a few ancient texts, Shen Han did not linger long on the hillside.

He wanted to go to the Immortal’s Residence, staying here held no meaning.

The sky was already darkening, but it posed no obstacle to him.

To earn the qualification to go to the Immortal’s Residence, one must at least first reach the Capital City.

Shen Han was also not very familiar with the strength of the Great Yu Country’s experts.

For now, it appeared he should first engage with Great Yu Country’s political scene.

In about a day, Shen Han reached the Capital City of Great Yu Country.

Compared to Yugu City, this place was much more expansive.

The buildings had an added grandeur, perhaps owing to their location within the Capital City, providing extra confidence.

Many countries have regulations; buildings cannot just be built as high as one wishes.

The carved lacquered patterns also have considerable importance.

After staying one night at the inn, Shen Han began to wander around the Capital the next day.

The next day, Shen Han roamed around the city again as before, sitting down for a cup of clear tea.

If no one engaged him in conversation, Shen Han would initiate a chat with someone.

Those with time sitting in teahouses seemed quite idle, with much to say.

Shen Han politely invited them, and generally, these tea patrons were very enthusiastic.

Moreover, the Yu Country’s common folk proved to be quite amiable, their interactions courteous.

A bit self-centered, but understandable.

After two consecutive days of gathering information, Shen Han finally found a lead.

Great Yu Country currently faces certain changes.

And these so-called changes are the succession of the throne.

The Great Yu Monarch is elderly, his health declining.

And the current political scene lacks stability.

The Eldest Princess, who was driven away years ago, has returned, and now she wants to vie for the throne.

The Eldest Princess seems to have something in her possession, giving her, as a woman, an opportunity to seize power.

The Eldest Prince thought the throne was undeniably secure, as his Imperial Brother had too weak a backing and no competitive edge.

But now, his Imperial Sister’s return has made things troublesome for him.

The path Shen Han thought of was to align with the youngest prince.

After all, many wish to depend on the other two.

If he doesn’t reveal his strength, he likely won’t receive much attention.

But currently, given his shallow understanding of River Source Continent, recklessly showing strength might invite more trouble.

Besides, beneath the factions of those two parties, there are plenty of successful officials.

This sole qualification might not necessarily fall upon his shoulders.

Rather, heading toward the weakest young prince would present more opportunities.

After resting half a day at the inn, Shen Han then proceeded onward.

Initially, palace princes could only live within the Imperial Palace.

Only after making achievements are they permitted to establish their own estates.

Having one’s own estate provides a chance to cultivate one’s personnel and establish one’s own system.

Regrettably, before the young prince could establish his estate, the old Emperor was starting to falter.

Currently, the young prince still resides in a secluded section of the palace.

Everyone is aware of whom he associates with.

Such constraints make it difficult for the young prince to cultivate his own strength.

But amidst increasing difficulties, it only further emphasizes his importance.

Truly supporting him could resolve any issues of qualification.

Before departing, Shen Han inquired with the inn servant.

Seeking a position under the officials is not difficult, especially now as they lack manpower.

Both the Eldest Princess and Eldest Prince factions are recruiting guests.

Before leaving, the inn servant cautioned Shen Han.

Just avoid going under the young prince’s banner; all will be well.

The young prince is currently a puppet of the Chief Eunuch, with a poor reputation among the common folk.

Hearing this, Shen Han nodded without arguing.

The young prince is indeed pitiable; starting with such weak strength and backing.

Unexpectedly, his reputation among the common folk is so bad.

But Shen Han could understand.

What the world sees is often what others want them to see.

The young prince is disadvantaged; his enemies only need to exert slight efforts to ruin his reputation.

Hire a few storytellers to recount tales daily; the reputation plummets.

Moreover, the young prince even seems friendly with the Chief Eunuch.

Improving his reputation would be hard.

Heading towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, Shen Han addressed the guards at the entrance.

He openly stated his intention to meet the young prince.

Upon hearing Shen Han, the two gate guards were momentarily stunned.

Soon, a playful smile appeared on their faces.

But they immediately went to report.

To request an audience with the Eldest Prince or Eldest Princess, they must see what strength one possesses.

Below Spirit God Realm, without other skills, one cannot even think of joining.

But at the young prince’s place, there might be requirements, but the guards were uninterested in checking.

After a while, a guard came out to lead the way, guiding Shen Han towards the southwestern corner of the palace.

The Imperial Palace has layers of status, and the layer where the young prince resides is considered the periphery.

"Ahead is the place; you can proceed alone.

I won’t accompany you inside, lest others see and suspect me."

The guard’s intention of avoiding suspicion was clear.

Even just being willing to guide, the guard felt he had done enough.

Entering the courtyard, a young man was reading.

Seeing Shen Han come in, the young prince immediately stood to greet him.

Well aware of his circumstances, the young prince at least displayed respect toward visitors.

Though he still worried internally if they were sent by his brothers or sister.

But with a bit of hope, he did what he should.

"I am Shen Han, here to meet the prince, seeking a position and a chance for benefits."

Shen Han spoke directly, with no twists or turns.

"Sir, no need for formality, I merely hold the title of prince, unnecessary for such etiquette.

Please have a seat, sir."

Despite the young prince’s sincere invitation, Shen Han did not sit at the main seat, choosing a side seat instead.

"I seek a position under the prince’s banner, contributing what small strength I can."

Hearing Shen Han’s words, the young prince displayed a bitter smile.

"I, this idle prince, have no such positions under my banner...

Sir, you can see that this courtyard only has one or two attendants."

"Your Highness possesses the bloodline, hence the possibility of succeeding the throne.

If substantive positions are unattainable, at least a nominal post can be held.

When Your Highness attains the throne later, then fulfilling promises won’t be delayed."

Shen Han’s straightforward remarks added a depth to the young prince’s gaze.

A swift calculation ran through his mind, assessing Shen Han’s identity.

Yet Shen Han showed no hesitation.

He raised his hand to release his aura, exerting the strength of a Spirit God Realm peak.

Previously from conversations with tea patrons, Shen Han learned.

In Great Yu Country, a Spiritual Harmony Realm is a top expert.

Spirit God Realm strength is worthy of reverence.

Indeed so, for here the cultivation follows the old system.

Sixth Grade, Fifth Grade strength is not easily reached.

Though seen in Southern Heaven Continent, cultivators of the new system advance rapidly.

Sixth Grade strength is certainly not weak.

In small towns of Great Wei, Fifth Grade First Snow Realm is already enough to be a leader.

Feeling Shen Han’s released aura, the young prince’s gaze harbored more anticipation.

After a brief pause, he looked at Shen Han.

"Please wait, sir; I will invite Eunuch Ma to come over; forgive me, sir."

After bowing to Shen Han, the young prince quickly ran to the distance.

It seemed his reliance was indeed an eunuch.

An eunuch’s reputation certainly impacts the young prince’s standing.

But the young prince is weak; he has no others to rely on.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, two figures arrived on a magical artifact.

To ride a magical artifact within the Imperial Palace indicates a high status.

Eunuch Ma stood at the front, the young prince dutifully stood behind him.
